03:18, 13 June 2023 review of submission by 2601:601:9180:F940:C4D9:4A8:3F9E:E479

Hi,

My article has been declined without giving a reason. How am I supposed to know what is wrong to correct it? 2601:601:9180:F940:C4D9:4A8:3F9E:E479 (talk) 03:18, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And what is your article? You provide no link to it, and under this IP your edit history only shows asking this question.
In any case, I'm not aware of a way of declining a draft without providing a reason. Have you read the decline notice properly? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:34, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, how could someone create a userbox template? I am confused because the article on creating a template doesn't really specify on how one would do that. TruePennsylvanian (talk) 03:51, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TruePennsylvanian: this help desk is for drafts undergoing AfC review. You may ask your question at the TEAHOUSE instead. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:31, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I updated my draft according to your suggestion. When it will be reviewed again please ? I left everything you said about it there. Alan347 (talk) 05:34, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Alan347: I would normally say it gets reviewed when a reviewer happens to come across it. However, it was such an obvious decline that I've just gone ahead and done that. There is nothing there to indicate this person is notable in any sense. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:30, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if I should just edit the draft, or if I should resubmit. Tanyadesai98 (talk) 12:56, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may edit the draft and then resubmit it once you have addressed the concerns of the reviewer. 331dot (talk) 13:05, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, my draft got a speedy deletion and i don't know why.. please help. Anonymous Boa (talk) 13:25, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Anonymous Boa: the reasons are given on your talk page. It was considered promotional. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, do you know how i could make it less promotional? Anonymous Boa (talk) 13:36, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Anonymous Boa: sure – don't use promotional language, don't try to 'sell' the subject, avoid peacock terms, make sure that all claims are fully supported by independent and reliable published sources, and make sure to give us something of encyclopaedic value, a reason why this subject should be included in a global encyclopaedia. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:05, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Khalijfars900200 Your draft was rejected, meaning it will not be further considered. Wikipedia is not a place to promote yourself, you may want to try alternative outlets. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 16:22, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that you do not meet our criteria for an article. Please read WP:AUTO. 331dot (talk) 16:32, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Left 'em my usual deletion notice, chock full of help links. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:38, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you just want to write about yourself, you can edit your personal page. There is no approval process for your own page. Guninvalid (talk) 03:04, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Guninvalid: That is not correct. We do not have personal pages. WP:user pages are not to be used as personal pages or as webhosts. There are many things that may not be on Wikipedia user pages -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 03:44, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

16:23, 13 June 2023 review of submission by Bastandas

edit

Hi! I'm writing materials about digital rights and the resistance towards censorship in Russia. The draft of the article about Amnezia VPN was declined for the following reason:

"This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are: 

   in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
   reliable
   secondary
   strictly independent of the subject"


But there are references to TechRadar and Wired in the material, which are written specifically about the software in the draft - Amnezia VPN. And Wired and TechRadar seem to be reliable sources. Could you pleas assist me if the problem is that these sources aren't enough? Or that they aren't reliable enough? Or is it anything else? Please assist. Bastandas (talk) 16:23, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bastandas: we usually require three solid sources to satisfy WP:GNG, especially when it comes to organisations or products, so you need at least one more. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:41, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@DoubleGrazing Thank you!
I added links to russian-language independent media (Meduza and DW.com). Is it enough or need to wait big english articles about this software in reliable sources? Bastandas (talk) 17:27, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bastandas: I haven't checked these sources, but a) AFAIK Meduza is considered RS, and DW certainly is; and b) sources don't have to be in English. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:41, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please guide me through to publish this page in the right way Pixature (talk) 18:45, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pixature: this draft has been rejected and is awaiting deletion, hence it will not be published. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:03, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This draft has been edited to based on the guidelines, all Url's has been removed and the Adv section has been marked is there's a way to republish it? Pixature (talk) 19:05, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This draft has now been deleted. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 20:03, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can I rewrite it again? Pixature (talk) 20:09, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, we aren't interested in helping you promote this business. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about a business and what it does. An article about a business must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the business, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable business. You dived right in to creating articles, the most difficult task to perform on Wikipedia, without learning how Wikipedia operates and without first spending time editing existing articles in areas that interest you. I would highly recommend that you use the new user tutorial to learn more about Wikipedia and what exactly it is we are looking for. If you are able to write a draft that summarizes what independent sources choose to state about Get In Canada and what makes it signficant/important/influential- and not what it says about itself- you may try, but beware another promotional draft will just be deleted.
If you are associated with this business, you must read conflict of interest and paid editing]. 331dot (talk) 20:19, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
