The comment left by the reviewer was:

Requires significant coverage in multiple independent verifiable secondary sources. Statements such as “This version is also available for forced download from a website to all users who need it.” read like a sales pitch not an encyclopaedic article.

See WP:SIGCOV, WP:IS, WP:V, WP:SECONDARY, WP:NPOV and familiarize yourself with these policies. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs)

Hi all, I created a page for Bahram Ghassemi based on a page for the same person on the Persian wikipedia. I added a source now but the original article in Persian doesn't have many sources either. From the listed sources, at the bottom of the Persian page, 2 or 3 don't work and it doesn't seem that all the information in the page is cited in the article. My point is, if the English article is not good enough because of a lack of citations, the Persian one has by far less citations relative to the amount of information it offers. I don't know the rules, but it seems to me we should keep it consistent between the different wikis. Thank you for your help and time.

Alireza1357 (talk) 09:40, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Declined English Wikipedia is not Persian Wikipedia. We have (probably) much stricter policies on our content. There's no policy in meta or anywhere which states that all articles must be kept consistent throughout all wikis. I'm glad that you finally added a reference to it, but I think more information about the subject can be provided and adding one source isn't enough to satisfy WP:ANYBIO. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 09:49, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Abelmoschus Esculentus That's OK. I just wanted to add something to the wiki, thinking it would be of value since he has already a relatively comprehensive page on the Persian and Arabic wiki and is spokesperson for the Iranian foreign ministry since about two years and has had a variety of diplomatic posts for years. There aren't many English sources about him, other than news reports and his statements obviously. I don't know how to delete the page from Draft. Would really appreciate if you could do that for me or show me how to do it. Thanks Alireza1357 (talk) 16:59, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, everyone! Is anyone else able to help me here, please? Abelmoschus Esculentus seems to be busy or I haven't mentioned him properly out of ignorance. Thanks! Alireza1357 (talk) 17:29, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I recently wrote an article on Date Gone Wrong which is a new web mini-series that was released in December but it was rejected. I want to know what to improve in the content to make the article sufficiently notable enough?

Aditi.agrawal.07 (talk) 09:51, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You need to add more secondary, reliable sources that are independent of the subject. One source is not sufficient to show notability. See WP:GNG ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 09:54, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, my initial submission for the article "Date Gone Wrong" was rejected because there wasn't enough notability attached t it. I have now added more citations and information. How shall I proceed to work on publishing it? Aditi.agrawal.07 (talk) 10:54, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

edit

The article has been turned down because: they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject - So, do I just need to include more references. The musician in question has numerous mentions in magazines such as DJ magazine and other Main Street publications and is played on the BBC, so I'm not sure why it was turned down. I am trying to create pages for a number of notable UK rap artists. So my question is do I need more references ? Thank you Aflec1 (talk) 14:23, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. You definitely need to add more references in order to satisfy WP:NMUSICIAN. I would also like to see more charted songs/albums and stuff as they are clear indicators of notable musicians. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 14:25, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is the problem with the article that the references are not properly formatted?

Hello wikipedia team, I'm on a personal mission to try to bring more visibility to emerging artists in Latin America as I notice that there is a huge gab in this particular area specifically on the english version of wikipedia. I've read about the recent progresses that a scientist was making on trying to lower the gender gap in science place by adding important scientist woman to wikipedia, and I thought it would be a good idea to do the same thing for artists that have already received a great deal of national recognition.

Being a journalist myself, I got to write some articles about some of those artist, and i was wondering if this is the reason why this post got rejected, as I signed two of his articles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Gustavo_Chams

I am not a pr person, so what would be a good way to re-write this article, making it more 'neutral'? I pretty much re-wrote what some of those magazines/newspapers did write about his work so I'm not sure on how would I be able to proceed moving forward. Some of the references are from smaller publications that helped me to fill the gap when I couldn't find the best references, But there are several well known and credible Brazilian newspapers, websites and magazines on the list, so I was quite surprised that they wouldn't work.

Is there any feedback I could take in consideration?

Thank you! Sincerely, Mirela

Hi team Just wondering if draft name can be changed? After publication . I have publisheddraft mareeg.com that I am not sure if I would have added dot.com instead of mareeg news

Joe-streatham (talk) 20:27, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Joe-streatham: Yes, the title of the draft can be changed when (if) the draft is accepted and becomes an article. However, at the moment the references you've included do not provide sufficient in-depth coverage about the publication, and the website itself appears to be offline - it returns a '403 Forbidden' error.

My article appears to have been reviewed within seconds by Robert McClenon, but please tell me how I can contact him. He says I need a lead sentence (he types lede sentence, but this must be what he means) In fact the second sentence explains that Susan Vernon is a pioneer conference interpreter, but this could be moved to second sentence if desired. Then he says that I am too closely connected to the subject. However I quote many references to academic papers about her; her relevance to interpreting is easily verified, even by a current exhibition at the university of Salamanca.

User:Gervasevernon For general advice about features of Wikipedia, you may ask at the Teahouse or the Help Desk. However, to contact a particular editor, you may write a message to their Talk Page, which you usually can do by clicking on the talk link after their signature. I wrote lede sentence because that is the specialized spelling that we use in Wikipedia. I meant to state in the first sentence that she is or was an interpreter. My conflict of interest comment had to do with whether you are related to her. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:05, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mario Gamer Expert User Talk and Sandbox

Q: Why does my page have to be encyclopedic and why can't I tell people about myself???

A? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mario Gamer Expert (talk • contribs) 21:54, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mario Gamer Expert Editors may create a user page containing limited autobiographical information for the purpose of collaboration with other editors. If that was what you were trying to do with User:Mario Gamer Expert/sandbox, then you do not need to submit it for review. Simply write at User:Mario Gamer Expert.
It is draft articles that need to be submitted for review before being published as encyclopedia articles. If that is what your sandbox submission was intended as, then please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space, blog, or social networking site. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:00, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article (which was literally a translation of the equivalent article on Arabic Wikipedia except I added a few sources) was declined because it didn't represent a proverb, and I didn't provide enough sources supporting my article. I would like to include the information SOMEWHERE on English Wikipedia since it explains a common coinage in Arabic (both the "faithful friend" and the "four impossible things"). I have several questions:

Mutarjam (talk) 22:01, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mutarjam.
  • It usually isn't productive to compare drafts to articles unless the latter have gone through a formal process such as WP:GA or WP:FA. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. The difference between the state of the two pages has nothing to do with the draft being about a non-English expression.
  • The Cultural Analysis source is a good one. The expression is not a perfect fit with List of idioms of improbability, but I think you could include it there.
  • Links on the left are only for equivalent topics, in other words an Arabic version of the list, not this specific expression. You may, however, link to it in the text – الخل الوفي ("faithful friend") ...

It is one of the famous author biography and most of the people are searching about him. SO, I thought to make his wikipedia that people can get more detail about him. Their is no profit to me, it is my service towards wikipedia.org. At last I would request you to give permission to make this page live on wiki.
