03:53:48, 21 February 2018 review of draft by JMProd

edit


Hi there! Just making sure I submitted the new page info for Draft:Jeff Margolis correctly. I do work for his company, but I don't find any of the info given to be biased at all. Many directors have similar pages like this -- i.e. Ken Erlich, Louis J. Horvitz. It's really just general facts that can be found on IMDB / his website, other publications, etc. Please let me know if that's not the case! Thank you!

Hi JMProd. The draft is in the pool to be reviewed. With the current backlog you can expect that to happen within about two months. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:09, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 08:57:38, 21 February 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Rosscoffx

Hi team

I was not aware of some of the procedures on Wikipedia when creating my draft of My Games Lounge. I have now based all writings on the content of other blogs on Wikipedia that are published in my same niche.

For example, the introduction and features is not written as a promotion, it is based on the language used in the Giant Bomb, Eurogamer and Polygon pages already published.

In fact, I have significantly reduced the content.

If you compare my draft to these published articles you will see the similarities and tone (I literally copied it out to ensure this would be the case!).

I understand you have to be careful with the submissions, I would appreciate someone taking a look. If any sentance in particular is poor do let me know and it will bee changed no problem.

Many Thanks

Ross Denby

Hi Rosscoffx, there's a few things about this draft. I will post it on the article's talk page. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:31, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was just wondering why my company profile always got rejected as you already approved Makemytrip and other portal. If you find it advertising content, Makemytrip team has submitted the same pattern. Looking for favourable response. Well I will rewrite and submit it again. Aparnassisodia (talk) 09:33, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aparnassisodia. You are mistaken when you write that MakeMyTrip has been approved. The article exists, but it hasn't been approved. If it doesn't meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, it may be that no one has noticed yet. If you wish to learn from an example, choose one from among Wikipedia's best articles. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:26, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well I just would like to know that onward you guys are not going to give approval to any company (like OLA, makekytrip, yatra, travelguru etc) if yes, kindly suggest the process through which I can get it published. I would be highly obliged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aparnassisodia (talk • contribs) 12:23, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mohamed Walid (talk) 14:57, 21 February 2018 (UTC) When you create an article that Draft:Altras Money Transfer has been deleted, I want to re-submit it again.[reply]

Mohamed Walid, the draft in question was deleted for unambiguous advertising. If you do remake the article, be very sure not to use the same advertisement terms and features. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:00, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if I am doing this right! I tired to submit an article but it was rejected back in November. I made the approporaite changes, but nothing seems to have happened since - I have tried a few times to make changes, but I can't work out where I am with it? This is the page in question: https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Draft:G-Research?action=edit&oldid=818501303&wteswitched=1

Hi Yinka83. If you wish to have Draft:G-Research reviewed again, you'll need to resubmit it. You can do that by clicking the blue "Resubmit" button at the bottom of the pink box at the top of the draft. If you resubmit it as is, it will likely be declined. From a quick glance, the sources cited do not appear to demonstrate that the company is notable. You may find it helpful to read WP:BFAQ#COMPANY before you go any further. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:08, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I wrote an article in English that was basically an identical translation from the one in Spanish, same content and all. Why was it rejected if it is allowed in Spanish to post it that way? Thanks a lot in advance.LILAVIOLETA (talk) 18:19, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello LILAVIOLETA, your draft Draft:Emil Montgomery was declined because it has no sourcing at all. On Wikipedia, you need to provide sourcing for your facts, otherwise nobody can believe your article because they can't fact-check it.
So far as to why es:Emil Montgomery is allowed, firstly Spanish Wikipedia has its own rules/standards and admins. Secondly, the Spanish version is tagged as "needs sources" too, so English Wikipedia isn't going to add to the problem by creating yet another improperly-sourced article. Next, at the bottom of the article are "enlaces externos" which sort of hint at references (and should probably be copied to your Draft, it's okay to leave the titles in Spanish).
Basically, you need to find sources which prove each fact you claim about Montgomery, and any fact you can't prove, you must remove it. Do that, and we can publish, no problem. MatthewVanitas (talk) 08:49, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Same advice given on my Talkpage, where the editor also posted. KJP1 (talk) 09:11, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Natia the great 9900 (talk) 18:46, 21 February 2018 (UTC) um what i do not understand is why my page got declined is it because im not doing something right[reply]


Hi Natia the great 9900. Natialandia and Draft:Natialandia have been speedily deleted three times in total. The precise reasons have been different each time, but they're all variations of "this is unsuitable for Wikipedia". You may find Wikipedia:Your first article helpful in undestanding why you should write about a different topic. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:00, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I’ve been trying to make this article for weeks but it keeps getting declined I’m not sure what to do as my feedback is to make sure there is no additional comments and there is none. What should I do??
