Hi Liance, thanks for reviewing my Draft:Mohammad Ifrahim. I want to draw your attention towards the references 3 & 4 that you seem to have ignored, perhaps due to in a foreign language but I think they do make a case for significance and notability in favor of the subject. The subject was interviewed by Radio Pakistan that meets the criterion for notability for music artists i.e "Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network" and also by a private tv channel ARY (and few others) and you know private channels being highly sensitive about their rankings wouldn't risk their ratings by interviewing an insignificant person. So I request you to revisit ref.3&4 and let me know if I am wrong. Thanks! Insight 3 (talk) 06:10, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello Insight 3 - firstly, interviews are not independent of the subject (they are primary sources) and thus cannot be used to establish notability. Additionally I was not able to review reference 4 in detail because I cannot access it due to a geolocation block, but even while considering this I did not feel that the subject satisfied the criteria outlined in WP:MUSICBIO. If the subject was indeed part of a significant broadcast segment please provide written, secondary sources that demonstrate this instead of the video broadcast itself. Hope this helps. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 16:38, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Liance, thanks for answering. I would ask if the "interview of singer Mohammad Ifrahim" is posted on the official website of Radio Pakistan, doesn't this itself confirm that he was part of a broadcast segment? Moreover, I have added a few more sources to Draft:Mohammad Ifrahim and resubmitted it, so please check it again. Your guidance is much appreciated! Insight 3 (talk) 05:33, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Insight 3 - interviews are primary sources and not independent of the subject meaning they are not an eligible source. I will allow another editor to review the draft for the sake of fairness and obtaining a new perspective. Cheers -Liance^{talk/contribs} 23:02, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Further guidance on SPIN-Farming article submission still confused sorry

Your reply Hello again Annstarlet, in order for inclusion on wikipedia the subject must meet notability guidelines for organizations, please see WP:ORGCRIT. You will need to provide secondary, independent, and reliable references that demonstrate the subject meets these criteria and is notable. Hope this helps. -Liancetalk/contribs 16:32, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

My question Thanks for continued guidance. The guideline you cited (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Primary_criteria) says: The corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

My read of this is: The corporation, organization, group, product, or service [SPIN Farming] is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage [written about] in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.[magazines, newspapers, research papers.] But these were not acceptable, so I am still confused. Thanks for helping me clarify this.

No worries Annstarlet, thank you for being open to feedback. For notability the subject needs to have significant coverage (i.e. no passing mentions) in multiple independent sources (cannot be associated or attain information directly from subject). If you have any additional references that meet this criteria please add it to the draft. All articles on Wikipedia need to have verifiable information so please add a citation to every fact you provide on the article with an inline citation (see WP:CS and WP:ILC for help). Once you have done this feel free to resubmit the draft for review. It may help to pick out the WP:THREE best references and list them at Draft talk:SPIN Farming for reviewers. Please let me know if there are any more questions. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 01:14, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

MultiFAZE (Multiple Fixed-Axis Shaft Compound Eccentric) Mechanism

Hi Liance,

Thank you for your speedy reply. I think I know what you want. I do have a reference that would probably meet Wikipedia requirements plus a number of abstracts and two very poor quality photos, all on the internet, BUT they refer not to the invention described in the patent mentioned in my draft contribution, but to a later copy of the invention: Just 5 months after the patent application mentioned was published, a couple of professors filed an application of their own (later abandoned and replaced) for the same mechanism, built two prototypes for tests and published the results and held lectures at events organised by such internationally respected institutions as the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers). A whole series of scientific papers on the subject are available against payment.

This must confirm the „notability“ of the invention. However, it would in my opinion be wrong if any article in Wikipedia gave the slightest impression that the mechanism was the invention of the professors. This would surely be „alternative facts“ and run contrary to Wikipedia's stringent rules. They claim to have carried out a patent search and found „nothing remotely similar“, and that „the idea to develop the engine first came ... in 1979“, but anyone can say that and what counts is the priority dates of the patents.

I would be grateful for your suggestions as to how to handle this?

Kind regards, Bryllig

Bryllig, this does indeed appear to be a complex situation. Unfortunately for inclusion on WP all articles must meet the notability criteria laid out in WP:GNG (significant coverage in multiple secondary, reliable sources independent from the subject) with preferably public access sources available. I am not sure if your subject can qualify as an article, but you may consider raising the same question at a help center at WP:Teahouse in case any other editors have any ideas. Hope this helps. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 00:44, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Liance, I should perhaps mention

1. that the Cardan hypocyclic gear and Archimedes trammel mechanisms are already in WP. They are both compound eccentric mechanisms that convert reciprocating motion to rotary motion via elliptical motion and vice-versa. The mechanism I am offering does exactly the same, which is plain to see, you don't need a PhD (but it is more robust and less prone to wear). So if the other two have made it into WP, the new one should make it too. And anyone who is interested in the other two would surely also be just as interested in the new one - possibly more so.

2. I have taken another look at the references and abstracts for the plagiarised mechanism and found the name of one of hte professors among the authors in each, so as I understand it, he would not be able to use them in WP as it would be "original research" - but I could, because they are simultaneously "secondary sources" for the original MultiFAZE mechanism. If two university professors doing research and development work on a copy of the mechanism (under a different name) over a decade or so doesn't make the original notable, what does?

3. The abstracts, of course, give links to technical papers that are freely available on the internet to anyone against payment. Thus they provide verifiable, objective evidence from independent sources. I haven't ordered any, since my experience is that one could spend a lot of money on stuff that contains only titbits of interesting information. As I understand it, references have to exist but do not need to be included in the article.

[[Bryllig (talk) 21:58, 24 August 2021 (UTC)]]

Bryllig, in the two articles you mentioned both have references in published sources which qualify them for articles. I am not an engineer by trade or expertise, but your draft article in its current state only links to a patent registrar which does not meet notability criteria outlined in WP:GNG. Please cite your sources (namely the technical papers and abstracts you mentioned) so that reviewers can properly review the notability of the subject - without including references in the article we have no way of judging its notability. Best, -Liance^{talk/contribs} 22:08, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Liance, Thanks. I have tacked the reference sources onto the end of the draft and would tidy it up later if approved.[[Bryllig (talk) 23:07, 24 August 2021 (UTC)]]

No problem Bryllig - just a note that on Wikipedia references should be provided as inline citations (as you formatted your patent). Once you feel that you are ready for it to be reviewed again there should be a button on the draft that will resubmit it for feedback. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 04:24, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Liance, I will be watching this space every day. A search for Stiller-Smith with Google turns up some drawings and photos, and further publications can be found on www.researchgate.net.

[[Bryllig (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2021 (UTC)]]

Bryllig your draft is currently not submitted for review - if you wish for editors to re-evaluate it please resubmit it with the button on the draft's page. Best, -Liance^{talk/contribs} 23:01, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Liance, I've been trying to shorten the draft but if anything it seems to have got longer, so i think it's time it was reviewed.--09:55, 8 October 2021 (UTC)~Bryllig~~

Thank you for moving the article Benneth Nwankwo to its appropriate space. I look forward to working with you in the future. Olugold (talk) 16:00, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Adding tags

Hi. Please how do I add tags when drafting an article? How do I add tags to an already submitted article for review? Thank you.--Olugold (talk) 16:50, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Olugold what tags are you attempting to add? Maintenence tags are typically not added to draft articles. If you would like to declare a COI then you can add {{COI|date=August 2021}} to the top. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 17:12, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Liance I saw a suggestion that it is oksy to tag artucle so that it would be easy for editors to locate such article. The draft was declined though because of copyright issues. I will edit and resubmit. thank you so much.--Olugold (talk) 21:38, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Un-accepted Submission

Hi Liance, thanks for reviewing my first submission. I was hoping you would have a suggestion on what would be considered "significant coverage" of Guild Insurance Limited. There are several more sources of information written about this company, but I thought the reliable sources of government sites with factual information would have been better. Do you have any suggestions on how to improve this? or is it better to abandon, and find something better with more significant sources to create an article on?DanTaylor4 (talk) 05:35, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi DanTaylor4 - please review WP:ORGCRIT as well as WP:NCORP for the notability criteria for companies and organizations on Wikipedia. Sources require significant, independent coverage in secondary sources - government sources are not independent of the subject and do not demonstrate significant, non-trivial coverage. I would include all references you feel meet this criteria in the form of citations to meet this criteria. Hope this helps. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 23:00, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

  • Draft:Mahdi Khorramdel (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I had researched Mehdi Khorramdel, he is a political commentator, Italian, Arabic and Iranian sources has published his opinions on regional issues, and he is active as a documentary maker. I know this doesn't make him Steve Jobs, but he is notable enough to have a voice in the Middle East. He is repeatedly been quoted as a source in BBC Persia, . Due to governmental censorship in Iran, journalists have no other outlet except their personal accounts to express their opinion. So twitter plays a major role in acquiring independent news and opinions. And Khorramdel definitely fill the criteria as a notable media personality as a source for independent news about Iran. I just don't know how to incorporate this information in an article and cite it.

Breezingsorrow (talk) 12:36, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Breezingsorrow (talk) 12:36, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Breezingsorrow, please review the criteria at WP:BIO see the criteria necessary for notability establishment. At the time of the review, one source was IMDb, another was a list of movies (trivial mention), and one was about one of the subject's films. As per WP:BIO significant coverage on the subject themself is required, not focused on their work. I see that there have been further edits to the draft, but regardless I hope this information helps.

Thanks for your help.

Couple of issues raised:

Autobiography - this is not a personal page - the user devandijk was created so that I (Jacques van Dijk) can create this page and is solely intended to allow capture of the information related to his career as a scientist. Since my father recently published at age 95years, the plan was to put up a wiki page in time for his birthday.

References/Citation:

I'll have to read up on what needs references. Some of the biographical information is obviously based on personal communication. Books/Publications I am relying on ResearchGate etc.

Devandijk (talk) 15:45, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Devandijk - I assumed the draft was an autobiography per your username, my apologies. Since you have a conflict of interest with the subject, please see WP:DISCLOSE on how to declare your relationship. I denied your draft because it did not have any inline citations. On Wikipedia information must be verified, original research is not accepted. This means that, for every fact you write out, there must a citation to back it up, please see WP:CS for more info. Lastly take a look at WP:PROF for notability criteria regarding academics - if your father does not meet these criteria then unfortunately he is not eligible for inclusion, though I feel that this should not be an issue. Hope this helps. Best, -Liance^{talk/contribs} 17:19, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Which interviews not independent and in what way(s)?

Hi, Liance.

You reviewed my proposed article on Emily Fan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Greg_Dahlen/sandbox, but declined it. You wrote, "Interviews are not independent of the subject." Can you give me more info here? None of the interviews are independent, and in what way(s)? Thanks Greg Dahlen (talk) 20:12, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey Greg Dahlen - articles on Wikipedia require notability to be demonstrated by sources that are independent of the subject and secondary - interviews do not demonstrate notability b/c they are directly associated with the subject of the article. This also includes the YouTube links you cited as well, as they were published by the subject and user-contributed sites almost never qualify as reliable sources. For biographies of living people, articles need to satisfy criteria outlined in WP:BASIC/WP:BIO for inclusion. Hope this helps. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 20:40, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Liance. Well, for example, one interview https://www.clichemag.com/interviews/youtuber-not-even-emily-opens-up-about-identity-and-balancing-social-media-with-career/ is on Cliche Magazine. You say not a legit publication? It does have a Wikipedia article Cliche Magazine. Greg Dahlen (talk) 14:17, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Greg Dahlen, the magazine is a legitimate publication - but on WP we require specific criteria to prove that a subject is notable. In this sense interviews are not valid since they do not demonstrate independent coverage from a secondary source, regardless of how legitimate or reliable a publication is. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 12:58, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Liance. Yes, now that I'm looking, I do see that interviews are not often used as the references for Wikipedia articles. Do you know why this is? Does the Wikipedia editor community doubt that a publication would check the information given in an interview? But a secondary article can go unchecked too.

I would think that the information in many secondary articles used as references in Wikipedia articles about people is taken wholly from an interview with the person, but the interview is not mentioned.

I would think that an interview would establish notability in the sense that it shows the person was important enough to be interviewed? Greg Dahlen (talk) 15:40, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Greg Dahlen I think there's a bit of confusion here - interviews are, most of the time, perfectly fine to reference in an article. They are often the most reliable sources of information when a secondary source is not available and can be used to verify facts when published by a reliable source. However in the case of accepting draft articles what needs to be demonstrated is notability - that the subject is well-known enough and article-worthy. Interviews generally do not satisfy notability criteria, which is detailed at pages like WP:BIO. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 16:02, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Liance. I'm still trying to understand the relationship between interviews and notability. In the meantime, had you noticed that one of my references in this proposed article about Emily Fan is from Wikitubia https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Not_Even_Emily? Wikitubia is like Wikipedia for YouTube creators. Would her having an article on Wikitubia establish sufficient notability for Wikipedia, alone I suppose or in conjunction with the other references? Greg Dahlen (talk) 07:58, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Greg Dahlen Unfortunately self-published sources are not considered notable nor independent on WP since they are editable and creatable by anyone. Notability requires independent coverage from detached, reliable sources - if you can find more of those related to your subject that would be most helpful. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 14:28, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Dale Trotman

Hi, Liance.

Could you give me some examples to the issues you had with the article? I would greatly appreciate it. Below is what you stated.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Dale_Trotman

Hi BarcaRei - articles on WP must be written entirely from a neutral point of view. This means avoiding "peacock" words like "genuinely efficient, user-friendly" (see WP:PEACOCK) and segments like "These setbacks didn't stop Trotman's ambition; it grew his desire to be an entrepreneur" as they are not written from a neutral point of view. Lastly, all stated facts should be cited by inline citations - much of the draft is unsourced, please add these where they are currently absent for verifiability. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 13:06, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Draft:V-Sag

Hi Liance, thank you for reviewing my draft page of the artist V-Sag. I rearranged and changed the references but they all refer correctly how this artist is notable and have contributed in the music scene and they are all mainstream and very well known sources and websites in Greece. I was wondering if there is a problem that they are in Greek, since that he is a Greek artist, most of his references are within greek sources and news websites.

Thank you for your time.

Elongate article

Hello User:Liance, I'm reaching out because you're listed as a contributor to the Cryptocurrency WikiProject. I am trying to get a draft published in the Cryptocurrency domain, but it's a bit difficult as the reviewers seem to have an opposition to the topic of crypto as a whole. Meanwhile there are other topics published with significantly less notability. As you are knowledgeable on the subject, could you please look at the draft and let me know if you can assist? Thank you! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Elongate_(cryptocurrency)

Hey Salamanderxander - I am not as involved with the crypto WikiProject as much now, but thanks for reaching out.

The editors who reviewed your draft are correct about it appearing non-notable - cryptocurrency notability criteria is usually evaluated under the WP:NCORP criteria, and states that significant coverage must be demonstrated in secondary, independent, reliable sources. Most of the sources you included do not meet this criteria; crypto-centric news sites and blogs are generally considered non-reliable. Many of the articles you cite mention the subject in passing rather than as their primary subject, and are not WP:INDEPENDENT of the subject either and associated in some way.

If you feel that Elongate is notable your best bet would be to find the WP:THREE best sources and reach out to the editor who rejected your draft with them and argue for its notability, if it is indeed non-notable then it's not suitable for a Wikipedia article. Keep in mind live articles that do not meet their respective notability criteria may exist but will be inevitably removed given enough time. Hope this helps.

Further guidance on SPIN-Farming article submission - updated status

your most recent reply: No worries Annstarlet, thank you for being open to feedback. For notability the subject needs to have significant coverage (i.e. no passing mentions) in multiple independent sources (cannot be associated or attain information directly from subject). If you have any additional references that meet this criteria please add it to the draft. All articles on Wikipedia need to have verifiable information so please add a citation to every fact you provide on the article with an inline citation (see WP:CS and WP:ILC for help). Once you have done this feel free to resubmit the draft for review. It may help to pick out the WP:THREE best references and list them at Draft talk:SPIN Farming for reviewers. Please let me know if there are any more questions. -Liancetalk/contribs 01:14, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

my reply: Sorry to have been out of touch. I got pulled away by other projects. I know SPIN-Farming and its creator Wally Satzewich have been cited in 2 books, so I will include them as references. I see that I need to provide context also. I will also edit down what it is and how it works, and instead explain it in relation to its noteworthy place in the development of local food systems and figure out how to use those inline citations. This will take a while and my time is still short right now. I intend to get back to this later this year, yet. Thanks again for your help and will check in again when I have something new to review.

Assuming this is Annstarlet via IP - just want to let you know that drafts will be deleted with 6 months of inactivity, but administrators can recover them if a deletion occurs. Best of luck. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 16:57, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Glow Christmas

Hi, Liance. How are you? I saw you were the one who reviewed the entry about Glow Christmas. I already made some changes regarding the references and other style elements. Could you please review it again and tell me if it's fit to be published? Thanks.

Julio1017 the draft seems to have been improved significantly - I will let another editor review it for publication for the sake of fairness. However I noticed that the draft's title is "Glow Christmas" but all sources online refer to it as "Glow Gardens" but the latter is not mentioned in the article. You may wish to change the draft's name if the company's name has changed. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 16:59, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Liance Done, thank you very much.

Dylan Redwine draft

I'm confused by your wording, do you mean we need like CNN or NBC articles instead of local outlets? HumanHistory1 (talk) 17:24, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi HumanHistory1 - your draft was declined because it didn't meet the notability criteria for events and had only 2 local news outlets cited at the time of writing. Wikipedia is not a news site and few events are notable enough for inclusion. Please review notability criteria for events before resubmitting. Best, -Liance^{talk/contribs} 17:21, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

(Misplaced message)

Lance, you reviewed an article and declined to publish since there was little or no context given - I agree. My article is intended to as an addition to an existing Wikipedia page titled p-Norms while my article begins discussing the derivative of the p-norm. I need add a discussion of the motivational background for interest in this derivative, although many mathematicians would be familiar with that information. I need help in merging my article with the existing article on p-norms rather than re-writing that information. Should I simply edit the existing article?RalphZero (talk) 19:18, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello Liance, I tagged you on my talk page regarding my latest submission. I am confident that there are enough reliable, independent sources that show the notability of the subject. Could you take a second look at references 3,5,8 and 9? Those are the main ones I've been working with. Thanks in advance. Astropolar13^talk 02:23, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Article needs review ASAP!!

Hello, i hope you are good Excuse me, but there is an article that needs to be published as soon as it is related to one of the institutes and it must be reviewed before the start of the new school year, which is next week! I think you reviewed it previously and rejected it because it lacks references only.. Now references have been added and re-requested for revision, but it has been pending for a while for some reason.. I hope you can help me. This is the article: Draft:Pyramids Higher Institute for Engineering and Technology Shahba3049 (talk) 14:42, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

You may wish to ask at the WP:AFC Helpdesk or visit WP:WikiProject Articles for creation/List of reviewers by subject to find someone who can read Arabic. Also, please note that there are no deadlines on Wikipedia - an article not ready for publication will not be live until it satisfies Wikipedia policies. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 16:13, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

New article and its review

Dear Liance Thank you for reaching out. I would like to ask you 2 questions: 1. Does my draft article await an editor review? (or should I do some additional steps for it?) 2. Regarding the article with the same name in different language - Are they independently revised or should I wait for my english article to be reviewed before I work on it in Ukrainian? Thank you!

Hey Evolutionary Virologist - your article is currently in the review queue and a volunteer will review it for publication, but you are free to edit it in the meantime. I moved it to the Draft namespace since that is where draft articles should be kept.

The article review process is independent across wikis so feel free to work on a version on the Ukranian Wikipedia at any time. Hope this helps! -Liance^{talk/contribs} 18:35, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Removed your review of Draft:Praxis Electronic Medical Record

I recently rejected Praxis Electronic Medical Record for being resubmitted without improvement, but as it turned out it was resubmitted because you told the submitter at User talk:Astropolar13 to resubmit as you said "I now realize that I was not able to properly evaluate the sources", so I had to undo that rejection. In the future, it would probably be best if you remove a decline if you later feel as if it was in error or it was improper in some way (I tend to reject article that are repeatedly resubmitted w/o improvement and in this case that is what happened). I went ahead and removed it for you in this particular case but please be aware of this in the future. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 19:28, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Submission Declined

Hi Liance,Thanks for taking the time to review my first submission. The reason mentioned is This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

As am new to this, can you please help me to understand why it is declined and what i can do to make it live.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lee_wizard/sandbox

Lee wizard, your draft was denied because you did not demonstrate notability - on Wikipedia notability must be established via significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in reliable (WP:RS), independent (WP:INDEPENDENT) sources. Please review WP:NCORP for the relevant criteria. Your second reference is a PR news site which is not independent of the subject, and the third one is a link to the company's website which is also not independent. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 14:27, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

js13kgames

Hi Liance! Thank you for taking a look at our page, it's great to have a pro like you helping out.

I'm, Frank Force, a game developer representing the js13kgames community.

JS13k has just run it's 10th annual contest with 223 entries, and a massive community that participates in other ways. We are a very inclusive and friendly group from beginners to expert developers. All our games are open source on github as per contest rules for people to learn from. I believe this contest is a valuable resource to the game dev and programming communities which is why I participate.

We put a lot of work into this article and finding every legit independent sources possible. It has been somewhat difficult because mainstream media does not tend to cover game jams! However I believe we put together a solid article with many references and even several books that have been in print for years.

In response to your original comment I removed all references that cite the js13kgames website but the very first one which links to the rules. We also found some more sources and I've integrated those and done several other things to improve the article.

Judging is currently underway and several hundred people would be over the moon if we could get this Wikipedia article published before results are announced.

Would love it if you could take another look and help us get this across the finish line. I'm happy to jump on anything you see and fix it right away. Thanks!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Js13kGames

Hey Slackluster, thanks for reaching out. First and foremost you want to declare a conflict of interest - on Wikipedia it is required for you to do this to maintain neutrality for all editors and content. You can take a look at WP:DCOI for more details on this. Next I would recommend picking the WP:THREE best references that show significant coverage in secondary, reliable, independent sources; you can list these at Draft talk:Js13kGames and leave a note at the top of the draft for the next reviewer. These would greatly help with streamlining the review process. Please let me know if you have any more questions! -Liance^{talk/contribs} 00:02, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Dear Liance,

I am new at contributing on Wikipedia. Last week, you moved my first article from my sandbox to draft and it's has been pending review. Unfortunately, while I was trying to learn my way around, I mistakenly moved the article from draft to article. I noticed it does not have the 'pending review notice' on it anymore. Any idea how I can get it back to draft and have it reviewed and approved on time?

Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia

Dear fellow editor,

I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.

All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.

Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.

I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).

The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.

Dexerto Draft submission

Hey, page for Dexerto was declined for lack of "significant coverage" in sources. It has 14 sources total, The subject of the article is one of the top 40 gaming websites in the US, but given the nature of news websites, it is near impossible to provide the sources suggested in Wikipedia's 'general notability guidelines' - most news websites are not the subject of coverage themselves.

When reviewing the Wikipedia pages of similar websites, there are no such references given (in fact almost all that I have checked have far fewer independent sources, and some none at all). I am informed that rules around this have changed which is why these websites have pages with such scant references.

Could you please advise on the best approach here, or if it is simply not possible, given the oddly specific notability guidelines which seem to not apply to news websites at all, to have a Wikipedia page for such a large and well-read website? This would strike as odd given the size of the site, and the state of other wiki pages about smaller websites, with fewer references.

Thanks

Calcium17 (talk) 14:26, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Another editor has since left feedback on your draft as to why it does not meet notability guidelines yet. If you still need assistance please let me know. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 04:49, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Calcium17, I apologize - it seems that I confused your message with another editor's (I noticed this a few minutes ago while I was cleaning up old talk page messages). If you are still working on this draft I would first recommend taking a look at WP:ORGCRIT and WP:CORPDEPTH, as they outline what is required of articles regarding organizations on WP, which is somewhat higher than that required of other subjects. References need to be secondary, independent, in reliable sources, and demonstrate significant coverage to establish notability; acquisitions, etc are considered trivial/routine coverage and thus do not qualify. If you wish to resubmit the draft for review I recommend following the advice at WP:THREE and leaving a note on the draft to let reviewers know.

Lastly, there are indeed pages that do not conform to our current guidelines. You are more than welcome to nominate these pages for deletion but do note that Wikipedia is a work in progress and that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If you have any more questions do not hesitate to reach out. Best, -Liance^{talk/contribs} 02:35, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Lauradavis44 - in its current state the draft does not quite appear to demonstrate why the subject is notable.

Draft: Pawthereum submission declined

Hi Liance,

I wanted to discuss the reasoning for the above-referenced Articles for Creation submission being declined and I hope the decision can be re-evaluated.

First, I'm hoping you can clarify your comment: Evaluating as organization as almost all coverage appears to be about the foundation. Lacks significant (non-trivial) coverage in multiple reliable sources. YouTube, crypto news outlets are not considered to be reliable sources. -Liancetalk/contribs 10:25, 17 February 2022 (UTC). What I don't understand about this, is "evaluating as organization as almost all coverage appears to be about the foundation." None of the coverage is about the foundation. The foundation was recently formed and there is only one line about the foundation that was included in the article itself, for thoroughness. All of the news coverage is about Pawthereum, the cryptocurrency, so I do not know how you reached the conclusion that you did.

Second, the reason for the submission being declined: This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

I did read the page on notability, etc. that lays out the guidelines for what sources count, and by that guideline, I believe the article should qualify. I'd like to go through the sources one by one and discuss the ones that I believe should qualify (I don't necessarily agree with you that crypto news outlets aren't reliable sources but I understand the reasoning, so we can agree to not count those. I also understand the reasoning regarding Youtube but it is strange that an AMA from the largest cryptocurrency subreddit wouldn't count considering, 1. it is very significant, especially considering the significance of the guest speaker and size of that subreddit and 2. the AMA is 100% independent from Pawthereum).

Anyway, I think arguably these should count: Source #5, NewsTimes

1. 10 InvestorPlace
2. 12 Benzinga
3. 15 Edinburgh News
4. 17 People.com
5. 18 The Newtown Bee

From what I understand the number of sources needed is 3. Are we saying that, disregarding all of the other sources I didn't mention, that there aren't at least 3 sources out of these 6 that qualify?

I appreciate you taking a look and reviewing this article, but I don't see the reasoning being applied to the decision lining up with Wikipedia's guidelines, so I do not agree with the decision making here and would appreciate a response to the points I've raised. If the decision can be re-evaluated, that would be ideal. If the reasoning can be explained and the reasoning is supported by Wikipedia's guidelines, I can accept the decision, but otherwise I will have to respectfully contest this decision.

Thank you,

CatDadoftheYear (talk) 19:26, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey CatDadoftheYear, thanks for reaching out. I evaluated your draft based on criteria for notability of organizations (see WP:ORGCRIT) because the coverage you cited focused primarily on the organization behind the project and its charitable donations. If, say, coverage and article content primarily concerned price movements or distributed technology behind the subject instead, then I would have approached it with the general notability guidelines. Regardless, I didn't feel that the subject was notable - on Wikipedia, significant coverage in multiple reliable sources is required. Of the sources you picked I would consider Edinburgh, People.com and Newtown to be reliable, however significant coverage is lacking in the People.com source (it is only mentioned briefly at the end). Lastly WP:LOCALCOVERAGE for one-time events such as donations generally do not establish notability strongly and is not means for a draft's publication. As always if you make changes to your draft and feel that you have fixed these issues you can re-submit for another editor to review with the "Re-submit" button on your draft page.

Second Contact

Hello, Liance,

It doesn't look like the draft you want to move to main space is ready to appear in the article space of the project. It seems like it is still in the process of being reviewed. Until it is "main space ready", it is unlikely that an administrator will complete this move that you requested. Eventually, there might be an admin who will decide, "What the heck, I'll do the move" but I'm not sure how long that will take. Most moves from Draft space to main space look like regular articles without all of the AFC tags. Just giving you a head's up, from a patrolling admin's perspective. Liz ^{Read!

Liz, apologies for that - I was meaning to accept the draft to mainspace but the AfC script did not allow me to do so before the redirect was deleted, so I tagged the page with {{db-afc-move}}. Should I just tag it with a G6 next time instead or is there a seperate procedure for situations like this? Best, -Liance^{talk/contribs} 01:57, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Shin Japan Heroes Universe

Greetings, I'm Fico. I thank you for what you did for the "Shin Japan Heroes Universe" draft. However, I must admit I need from people who really know more about those franchises than I do. In my country, I barely know a little about Godzilla, and then, nothing more. Therefore, I would appreciate the need of more help from other users. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Fico. (Perhaps, other live action and animated intellectual properties from other third parties can join this project, but of course, it is too soon to speculate.)

Hey Fico Puricelli - thank you so much for your contributions :) Unfortunately I have little to no expertise regarding the media franchise you're writing about, I moved your draft to the correct namespace during AfC review. Perhaps you could try asking for help at a WikiProject since they tend to have very experienced and helpful editors who specialize in those areas? I looked around a bit it seems like WP:WikiProject Anime and manga/Evangelion and WP:WikiProject Tokusatsu would be good places to start! Best of luck. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 00:18, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you so much, and my apologies to you for the problem. Fico Puricelli (talk) 04:44, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

No need to apologize! If you have any additional questions don't hesitate to reach out again. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 04:49, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

dideye dito

how can there even be any other sources/citation, that all sites there are. There are only two original sources online. Those are the only source of published content. There isnt any other way to do anything. Also, what other sources are there for a webcomic than the webcomic itself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChiserYT (talk • contribs) 19:09, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

ChiserYT, I understand that a draft decline is frustrating. On Wikipedia content must meet the notability guidelines to qualify for an article - otherwise they will be deleted quickly by editors. Content must be supported by reliable, independent, secondary sources, and original sources do not qualify for this unfortunately, and your subject might not be notable enough for inclusion if you are unable to procure more sources. Hope this helps and don't hesitate to reach out again if you have more questions. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 22:55, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Liance, could you please give me more explanation as to why my draft was declined?

Hey TrueVindicator - as noted on your draft article, it was declined because it fell short of the criteria listed at WP:MUSICBIO that describes the requirements a music-related biography must meet for inclusion on the encyclopedia. I would review that page and identify on which basis your subject could be notable, then update the references on your draft accordingly if you wish to resubmit. Additionally, since you are writing a biography of a living person please note that any statement you write must be backed up by a neutral, verifiable, and reliable inline citation. If you have any more questions let me know. Hope this helps! -Liance^{talk/contribs} 03:16, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Draft:DineWight

Hey Liance! Thank you for taking the time to review one of my first significant contributions. I have resubmitted the page for review, maybe you could take another look and let me know if there is anything more I need to do for it to reach the required level of satisfaction to be published on the Wiki please. I've contributed to other pages but it would be cool to have contributed a whole page. Congratulations on 21,000 edits too, that's some milestone! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Knowall23 (talk • contribs) 16:00, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey Knowall23, thanks for reaching out. On Wikipedia companies must meet the organization notability criteria which means they must demonstrate significant coverage in reliable sources that are unaffiliated with the subject. I noticed that the coverage you provided was mostly WP:LOCALCOVERAGE - do note that coverage beyond local sources helps to establish notability, and if you can find any I would add them to your draft. Hope this helps! -Liance^{talk/contribs} 20:00, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey Liance, appreciate you getting back to me. For this company I am unable to find any other sources than from official local independent news outlets, nothing by the mainstream media. As this is a purely local business it is unlikely it will hit the mainstream media. What are the chances of this being published without mainstream media articles? There are plenty of local articles as referenced. Thanks. --Knowall23 (talk) 22:43, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately Wikipedia policies on corporations are quite stringent - WP:ORGCRIT outlines the criteria needed to establish notability for a company, which are considerably more specific than say the general notability guideline. You are welcome to resubmit the draft for review by another editor but without satisfying the necessary criteria I'm unsure if the subject is suitable for inclusion. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 18:01, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Reliable sources like where? I put all reliable-looking English web pages that a google search returned for this university in the page. Can you provide an example that would have this entry accepted?

Zade.ali (talk) 18:07, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey Zade.ali - as I mentioned on your draft, your article needs significant coverage in unaffiliated, reliable sources - WP:GNG has a good overview which goes in-depth regarding what defines a source as reliable. Ranking websites and links to entries in database websites, which you cited, don't qualify as significant nor reliable coverage. Hope this helps. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 21:07, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 00:01, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Billapartygang123 Draft reviewers are volunteers who contribute when they can, and sending repeated threats for a few days of inactivity is seen as disruptive behavior and won't help your chances for getting a re-review (in fact, it could lead to a block in many cases). Please be resourceful and use the AfC helpdesk or the Teahouse in the future instead.

Your draft article was rejected because it did not sufficiently meet the notability criteria for video games after multiple resubmissions, and another reviewer has since rejected it again. Video games, like all topics, must have significant coverage in multiple sources that are secondary and independent of (unaffiliated with) the subject. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 00:14, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Draft: Gorilla Tag

Hi Liance, Can you please tell me the things I need to edit for the Gorilla Tag draft? It would be much appreciated if you did! :D

- OGxSLAY3R

Hi OGxSLAY3R - as other reviewers have noted the draft requires additional coverage in reliable sources to meet the criteria for video game notability at WP:NGAME. An editor has since rejected the draft which means it is deemed non-notable for inclusion and should not be resubmitted unless you can present sources that demonstrate its notability per WP:NGAME. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 00:30, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
