01:00:28, 9 January 2021 review of draft by BrigidBurgan edit


My submission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Omnisafe_fittings) was rejected because it "is not adequately supported by reliable sources." I have referenced (3) major industry periodicals and notations from (3) conferences that addressed this fitting. I cannot think of any resources that are more reliable in this industry. Please let me knw why these references are not reliable and where I might look for examples of those who are. Thank you for your help.

05:16:44, 9 January 2021 review of submission by Sean Solie edit


Happy New Year! The article I submitted on Sean McCoshen was declined as result of improper sourcing, specifically the lack of credible sources. Can you please point out which of the sources I am using are not adequate? I recently was on a different Wikipedia page about someone that contained only one link in it, which was no longer functional. How can it be that the eight sources I provided are less credible than a non-existent source?

Any information and assistance in this arena would be greatly appreciated, as I'm at a loss here in terms of how to strengthen my article.

Thank you :)

13:24:27, 9 January 2021 review of submission by PsychoPinball edit

I wanted to show on my user page what I'll be working on. Is the problem that the content is too explicit? I understand that these subjects aren't the most pleasant ones but if there are questions about abuse, I'd like people to know that I'm somebody who will engage discussion about these subjects in a serious manner. PsychoPinball (talk) 13:24, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PsychoPinball: Hello PsychoPinball, Your userpage is User:PsychoPinball. You can directly create it, there is no need to first create a sandbox and submit it. If you wish, I could move the page to User:PsychoPinball. For content permitted on userpages, see WP:USERPAGE. Victor Schmidt (talk) 13:31, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's pretty much what I was trying to do. I started out on my user page but then was re-routed to some different draft pages... If the content is proven not to be offensive, please do overwrite my current user page. PsychoPinball (talk) 13:35, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know where you could have seen that. The creation notice (Template:base userpage editnotice) Speficially says "If you want to draft an article,...". This is evidently not an article, so it can go there. Victor Schmidt (talk) 13:57, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I'm so confused... Just tried to overwrite my user page, got the message An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, so it has been disallowed. PsychoPinball (talk) 14:04, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's something one can work with... @Oshwah: can you have a look? filter log Victor Schmidt (talk) 14:58, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oshwah, please check this out carefully... what does LTA in the filter log mean? Crossroads -talk- 19:02, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The edit filter looks for key words that identify common LTA user activity. I went ahead and added the content for you, PsychoPinball. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:29, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Can I still add subjects on my UP after all this or will I run into the same problems due to the nature of the topics I'll be working on? PsychoPinball (talk) 12:57, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

13:56:29, 9 January 2021 review of submission by Anavya edit


There seems to be a huge misunderstanding here. The subject in question is not only an established and notable personality in the martech and ad tech space but is also an Youtube, Amazon and Spotify verified music Artist. The links to Hansaj's verified artist pages are as follows:

https://open.spotify.com/artist/6Yu6b18ho7Tv2OFl4z9EnQ?si=23TIW0rxQ06H5zPQ6mlGFA https://music.youtube.com/channel/UC-4jpVvEXnoItoL0cVXbhmA https://music.youtube.com/browse/MPREb_5WPp7RFralw https://music.amazon.in/artists/B08RSMW9MQ/ekalavya-hansaj

The link to his google knowledge panel is https://g.co/kgs/zydNmj.

I strongly believe above links prove beyond doubt that the subject deserves a wikipedia page and meets the standards required to be on wikipedia.

Requesting you to guide me with an example if you still believe I am not able to prove the informations sought.

"Links to "Hansaj's verified artist pages" confer zero notability, Wikipedia requires independent reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 14:03, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

,17:36:34, 9 January 2021 review of submission by Brenda All edit

I am requesting a review because my page was rejected as not being notable enough. There are articles and listings about me that are years and continents apart. I saw the page that Indian human magnet Arun Raiker had. It was recently edited by user Melrous yet it had seven paragraphs lifted from the one article about him and a seven-line personal quotation also lifted straight out of the one article. In fact there was more lifted from that article. I presume that they were blinded by the Arun Raiker claim that he would send his human magnet video to the Indian version of the Guinness World Records. It was an article from 2016 so he had enough time. I pointed some facts out to out to User Possibly who put the article up for deletion. I at first put just a listing in the human magnet section but User Melrous deleted that. Brenda Allison has been in Polish Wikipedia human magnet listing for years. I believe that the rejection on English Wikipedia is racist. White suupremacists have clearly infiltrated here. User North America 1000 is suddenly unavailable to doscuss a previous deletion of a Brenda Allison listing in human magnetism and a page. See the Wikipedia article about racism on Wikipedia Brenda All 17:36, 9 January 2021 (UTC) Brenda All 17:36, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I rejected your draft because it had zero reliable sources, blogs are not reliable. To accuse me of racism is totally abhorrent and a personal attack. The fact that you have an article about you on Polish Wikipedia is irrelevant each country's Wikipedia has different standards for inclusion. Theroadislong (talk) 17:41, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Brenda All: We don't tolerate personal attacks. Also, since you have a clear conflict of interest, which is a significant ethical concern, you shouldn't be writing about yourself. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:17, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and I guess an article about this subject was AFDed in 2016 as well. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:28, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

18:33:04, 9 January 2021 review of submission by Caseykerbs edit


Hi, I will be republishing the article once there are more news sources on it. We've recently done pieces and interviews with some major news sources and they'll be out in the next 2-3 weeks. At that point I'd like to be able to send the article over for Review again.

Can you please put the article back to "Rejected" mode so that I can fix it later in the month and resubmit? Thanks!

Caseykerbs (talk) 18:33, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Not done You can continue to edit it, but will not be able to re-submit it until someone changes "rejected" to "declined." The time to ask for that is AFTER there has been significant coverage from reliable sources that is "independent" of the subject. This means "publicity interviews" and "publicity pieces" specifically do NOT count. It's one thing if a major news outlet seeks out an interview with someone, it's another thing altogether if that someone seeks out interviews. That said, if a person is doing a "publicity tour" that can generate truly-independent coverage by reliable-source media, but it's not guaranteed to do so. My recommendation: Wait a week after the "publicity tour"-related information has been made public, then look for unrelated/unsolicited coverage from reliable sources. If you can't find it, or only find small amounts of it, or if what you do find isn't "in-depth coverage" or it's just re-hashes of what was in the "publicity generated" press, then drop it. The draft will not be accepted because the person is not notable. If, on the other hand, there is "significant coverage from reliable sources that is independent of the subject," then update the draft and come back here and ask for the "rejection" to be turned into a "decline" so you can re-submit. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:41, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Conenna35 (talk) 20:20, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Conenna35: This draft is currently unsourced, or at least without a source someone will find usefull. When giving Citations, make sure you give enough information for reviewers and other people to actually find it. Really required are at least: URL, title and access date (for online sources), ISBN, title, page number(s) and author (for books), newspaper name, edition, page and title (for newspaper entries) etc. There exist specific templates to assist you in formatting: {{cite web}} for web content, {{cite book}} for books, {{cite news}} for newspapers, and others.
