00:34:39, 27 December 2019 review of draft by 86Bitt edit


Hi, it seems I don’t understand how to cite my sources using footnotes. I’ve tried twice. Could you please help me?

86Bitt (talk) 00:34, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

86Bitt, Hi! I would recommend reading WP:FOOTNOTES and using the Visual Editor option for additional help with adding footnotes. Happy editing! Snowycats (talk) 01:22, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that this subject is not independently notable. No matter what changes are made, this draft will not become an article. Any useful content should instead be added to the suggested page. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 05:54, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please refer to the below report, if the other module companies (i.e. Gemalto, Sierra Wireless, SIMCom, Telit, etc.) are allowed for the Wikipedia paga creation, Fibocom & Quectel should also have their place in Wikipedia.

Streetmilitia, Be careful about comparing your article to existing ones. Many of the articles on Wikipedia were created before we began the rigorous Article for Creation process. That means a lot of ...honestly junk articles were created, and many of them have slipped through the cracks. You can read more about the logical fallacies involved in article comparison at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Looking at the linked articles, 3 are poorly written, promotional, and lack sources. SIMCom shouldn't even have an article. Gemalto is the only halfway decent one, but clearly has had some COI editing.
What I don't see is how this organization meets the company notability guidelines. Of your 8 sources, none are good enough to show notability. You would need more and better sources. But I doubt such sources exist, which is why the article has been rejected as not notable. You are likely better off improving existing articles about topics you enjoy, and getting a feel for how to edit and how our policies work.
One last note: if you have paid by Fibocom in any way, are an employee, or otherwise receive compensation from the company, you must disclose that fact by following the guidelines at WP:PAID. Not doing so is a violation of the terms of service. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 23:55, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi CaptainEek, thank you. I agree with you. Why does Wikipedia allow editor to remain anonymous? I am a SME in the wireless space, I edit Wiki with my free time when I see the content either not up-to-date or misleading with flaw info or advisement. Streetmilitia (talk) 09:07, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Streetmilitia, Anonymity has been a fundamental principle of Wikipedia. Thats why we let folks edit without being logged in, and prevent folks from outing other people's real identities. But that does of course have limits, especially in the realm of companies and conflicts of interest. Since you say you don't have a conflict of interest, or a paid issue, I'll accept that in good faith. If you still would like to improve the Fibocom article, and believe that reliable sources exist, you can find them and improve the article. But as I said above, my own search turned up quite little; such sources may not exist. In that case, I'd be happy to help point you at some other things you might enjoy editing.

Hi CaptainEek, thank you sir. I am not going to continue the Fibocom article, should I delete I it? I just joined the Telecommunications project I guess there are plenty for me to read and contribute, let me know if you have a better idea. Happy New Year to you! Streetmilitia (talk) 04:21, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Streetmilitia, If you'd like it deleted, say so, and I can make that happen. If not, eh its not the end of the world. Drafts get automatically deleted after 6 months of inactivity. I'm glad you've taken to the Telecom project, and hope that goes well for you! Happy New Year to you as well. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 05:03, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 12:06:11, 27 December 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by 49.207.50.66 edit

The article needs better sourcing. You do not have enough reliable and independent sources. Think coverage from quality newspapers, news outlets, books, etc. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 23:38, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TickForTack (talk) 14:38, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TickForTack, As I told an IP above, this article is not notable. It will not become a standalone article. Any useful content should be instead added to NBA 2k20. If you would like me to clarify about why it is not notable, ask on my talk page. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 23:35, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]


the changes suggested were made.

14:38:47, 27 December 2019 review of submission by Evan Tobias Tanoni edit

please re-review this article. I did followed the guidelines and already get rid of the promotional and the possible advertisement content. Evan Tobias Tanoni (talk) 14:38, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
