01:55:21, 25 April 2018 review of submission by Iacesista edit


Hello I'm having trouble with getting my Wikipedia article accepted. I've been told to use reliable secondary sources, which I have done so in my last edit. I also checked if primary sources can be used as references. It says there you can as long as there will be no interpretation. Initially, I used a CV which was written by the organization that my subject (in the Wikipedia page) works for. I also used his page on Researchgate, Google scholar and in the University to support some of the information in my draft. I really need to know which one in my reference list is unacceptable, thanks Iacesista (talk) 01:55, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iacesista. I have commented at length on the draft. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:16, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know which of my references/citations on the draft Tim Bennett page are perceived as problematic. As far as I can see, they are secondary sources, reputable and independent of the artist. Is it a problem that they are in german? Thank you in advance for your help.

I have been working with a group of experts in Bioelectricity to create a Wikipedia page that represents this very important scientific field. This is the first article that I am creating on Wikipedia, so it has been a bit of a process to learn how Wikipedia works and to get the article to a point that we feel happy about sharing it with the community. When I tried to publish the article from "Draft" to "Article" today, I got an error that prevented me from moving the draft to article. It stated "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reason:

The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid.

Please choose another name, or use Requested moves to ask an administrator to help you with the move.

Do not manually move the article by copying and pasting it; the page history must be moved along with the article text."

There currently is not a Bioelectricity Wikipedia page and I am not sure why the name would be invalid. I went ahead and requested a review for help, but it could take several months for this to process. Could you please tell me why I am getting this error and what I might be able to do to correct this? Thank you. Tiadeeharrison (talk) 21:22, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tiadeeharrison. Actually there is a Bioelectricity Wikipedia page, although it may not be obvious to you. It's a redirect, so when you click the link to it you are redirected to a different page titled Bioelectromagnetics. Underneath the title in parentheses and small print you'll see (Redirected from Bioelectricity) If you click that link you'll be taken to the existing Bioelectricity page without redirection.
So what should you do to get the draft moved to article space? If you want the feedback from a review, you just need to wait. If the reviewer accepts the draft they'll take care of moving it. If you want to abandon your request for a review and take your chances in article space with the page as it is, then submit at Wikipedia:Requested moves a request for a technical move. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:28, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
