02:35:37, 10 June 2021 review of submission by Kanzakisviel

edit


Please review my first Wikipedia. This is my first time writing in here and I need your assistance to make my first page can be accepted.

Kanzakisviel (talk) 02:35, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kanzakisviel "Wikipedia" is the name of this entire website, not individual pages which are usually referred to as articles. Your draft, unfortunately, has no chance of being accepted at this time, as it is completely unsourced, and also just tells about the company. A Wikipedia article needs to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about(in this case) a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company.
I will note that successfully creating a new article is probably the hardest task to perform on Wikipedia, and diving right in without experience and knowledge often leads to disappointment, frustration, and other hurt feelings that I don't want you to have. I would strongly advise you to first use the new user tutorial to learn more about Wikipedia, and to also spend much time(months) editing existing articles in areas that interest you, to get a feel for how Wikipedia operates and what is expected of article content. These things will help you learn what goes into an article and how to write it.
If you are associated with Airpaz in some way, you will need to read about conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures you may need to make. 331dot (talk) 09:02, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ophirizayamba2021 (talk) 08:09, 10 June 2021 (UTC) I was advised to include 2 or 3 external sources that mention the company, could i know what else is needed.?[reply]

Ophirizayamba2021 The draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further and no amount of editing can change that. It appears the company does not meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. 331dot (talk) 09:03, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me delete my draft! I published the article, but then it was taken down, I was advised to add additional references, I did that but now there is just an awkward redirect message. I really just want to get rid of this until it can go up smoothly or not at all... This is a company page and I think it should just not be ther for now. Help greatly appreciated.

Dara at ERS2021 (talk) 13:45, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dara at ERS2021 Blank your draft. You may only do this to material you have created. This signifies that you wish it to be deleted. Creating pages for your employer,oyer almost never works anyway. See WP:PAID FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 15:05, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I am trying to create this page and accidentally duplicated it. But now each page has been deleted citing the deleted duplicate as the reason. And neither of the pages exists. I'm not sure what the appropriate way to correct is. What do you suggest? Thank you.

Its393939 (talk) 18:00, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Its393939: Currently there are Draft:Charmed_Playhouses and Draft:Charmed Playhouses(2). Which one will you focus on? (Note: You are trying to create a Wikipedia article, not just a page. Pages we have 53,555,908, articles 6,314,679) Victor Schmidt (talk) 19:54, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Victor Schmidt: Hi Victor. Draft:Charmed_Playhouses is the article that I am trying to focus on. How do you recommend that I proceed to go about creating it? Do I ignore the copy? Thank you.

Someone has kindly left a message on the draft page I have submitted saying that 'major copyediting is required'. As a new contributor to Wikipedia I'd very much appreciate some advice as to what needs to be improved, but I can't find out how to reply to the person who left the message. Please could you explain how to reply to a message, or even better give me some advice as to how to improve my first article. Thanks so much

Hi Atcan2295 I've left a welcome basket of links on your talk page that may help you find your way around. On Draft:Tomer Lev, after the comment "Major copyediting required", is a link to the user who left the message, and a link to their talk page, where you can open a discussion about it if you need to. I suggest you review the other links first, though, and try to fix things on your own. After the lead, a biography should be basically chronological, so unless he got his education at the end of his career, education should come first. The Manual of Style contains rules about how section headings should be formatted, where inline citations should be placed (immediately after punctuation, not before), how to add internal links, how to write a strong lead that makes it clear why a person is notable, and more. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:01, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
