You don't ask a question, but this draft has been rejected and won't be considered further. And while I can see some sources have been added, they consist of candidates lists and social media accounts, none of which contribute towards notability in the slightest. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:36, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyy was draft declined? Diiinall (talk) 10:09, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Diiinall: if you wish to be blocked, just ask an admin. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:11, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@DoubleGrazing I couldn't tell if this was the public sandbox, or if there is a user named "sandbox". If you edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Sandbox&action=edit, it starts with a block message. Is this normal? David10244 (talk) 15:35, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@David10244: this user had linked to the shared public sandbox (per above), but the thing I had rejected, which caused them to come here, was another user's sandbox (ie. not theirs). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:42, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@DoubleGrazing No wonder I was confused. Thanks! David10244 (talk) 06:25, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is your question, @Earthianyogi? You have resubmitted the draft, and it is awaiting review.
There are quite a few formatting and structural issues with it, which aren't a decline reason but need to be sorted out all the same. I'll post a comment there with more details. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:22, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
thank you for the message. that would be very helpful. Cheers. Earthianyogi (talk) 14:25, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Should the Wiki reviewers have a minimum number of articles published to be allowed to accept/reject articles? thanksEarthianyogi (talk) 14:22, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't put your questions into the section headings. And please don't open a new section with each comment, just add to the existing thread. Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:25, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Earthianyogi User AngusWOOF is an experienced editor who has been here for 10 years, with 222,000 edits. Is that enough? David10244 (talk) 15:43, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the response. I value AngusWOOF's comments and experience even though they are unclear. Having 222,000 edits does not answer my question at all! Earthianyogi (talk) 19:57, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The information on what is needed to be an Articles for creation reviewer are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants. The objective criteria are 500 undeleted edits and 90 days old, but being added to the list of the reviewer is done by and administrator and there are lots of (somewhat) subjective criteria (I doubt that someone with exactly 500 undeleted edits and exactly 90 days of editing would have *any* chance of getting approved)Naraht (talk) 13:02, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

14:51:10, 1 April 2023 review of submission by Thehoaderr edit


Please tell me how to go about it, My intentions were not to promote the subject of my content Thehoaderr (talk) 14:51, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Thehoaderr: whether that was your intention or not, what you ended up with is pure promo piece, and an unreferenced one at that. This draft has been rejected and will not be considered further. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:54, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Left my promo bio deletion notice for creator's perusal. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:57, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

23:31:51, 1 April 2023 review of draft by 2601:58C:C100:9880:5440:16FB:4E13:BED9 edit


I am asking about whether I was right in my draft of "Kryss Shane" or if I did something wrong and, if I did, what it is so I can fix it to get my page approved.

2601:58C:C100:9880:5440:16FB:4E13:BED9 (talk) 23:31, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, you certainly weren't "right in [your] draft", given that it is highly promotional, completely unreferenced, and riddled with spammy external links. Please see WP:YFA for advice on article creation, and WP:REFB on referencing. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:06, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused on what makes it promotional. The only reason I put the links to the books was because I thought I had to site my sources as proof of her authorship. I also sited the tv show she is on and the awards she won because I thought that was supposed to be listed. I was using the page for Sue Sanders as a guide since they are colleagues but in different countries. 2601:58C:C100:9880:307F:4269:CD4F:24C5 (talk) 22:41, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Did you read the information that DoubleGrazing linked? That should answer your questions. David10244 (talk) 07:57, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
