12:17:48, 1 June 2019 review of submission by MoudgilAman

I had published my article be referring the rules i could understand over wiki tutorials. Furthermore, i followed some already published articles to understand the format and structure of the submission. Can you please help me on what i can do to improve my published text.

Your draft reads like an advert and has no sources. We only summarise what reliable, independent published sources have to say about a subject. Theroadislong (talk) 12:31, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I created an article on Aboyne Canoe Club but Theroadislong rejected it: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. There are numerous articles from the press (in written form) documenting events and the existence of the club which should prove the article sufficiently 'notable'. However, the majority of these press articles are documented on Aboyne Canoe Clubs website available at https://www.aboynecanoeclub.co.uk/about-acc/acc-history/press-articles/ these documents substantiate Aboyne Canoe Clubs history but are themselves only available digitally through the clubs website. Does this constitute a conflict of interest as they are external sources documented only on the clubs website? It is for this reason that I did not originally include them as sources when creating the page. Aboyne Canoe Clubs large membership, the existence of a club building and SCIO charity status would I thought have been suitable conetent to justify the existence of a wiki article online? I apologise for the time taken to answer my queries- I am new to editing and creating wiki articles. Thank you!

Hi DavyBoyForest. First consider the WP:AUD section of WP:ORG: "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, ... national, or international source is necessary." If no such source exists, then the club is of only local interest, and should not be the subject of a stand alone encyclopedia article. It could be mentioned in an article about the locality - a town, or the river - so long as it is not given undue weight compared to other organizations that serve the area.
If a regional or broader source exists, such as an article in an Edinburgh or Glasgow newspaper, then the draft may cite it and local press stories. The purpose of a citation is to allow the reader to find the source, so only cite an article if you can identify, at a minimum: the title, the publication in which it appeared, and the date. The page number is also highly desirable, as is the author, if identified. Print sources are fine, leave the url parameter of the citation blank if you can't find an authorized copy online. Do not link to the club's website, as they are almost certainly violating copyright by republishing any articles about them. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:32, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The user who made the original submission (TheodoreJamesII) asked me to create a page for Rony Zeidan. Please delete his draft and allow me to resubmit mine. I have blanked his draft and he has given me permission to have it deleted.

17:53:29, 1 June 2019 review of submission by MoudgilAman 


I need advise on how can i publish material which i can see from other wiki pages to be within purview. I referred wiki pages https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Morphogenesis_(Company) and https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Engineers_India and published information style as used by these and also used sandbox to first create a wiki for review but am getting this message of being a violation with wiki. Can you tell me what to omit from the article so that i can publish my first article at wikipedia ?
Hi MoudgilAman. Most businesses are not suitable subjects for stand alone encyclopedia articles. See WP:BFAQ#COMPANY for more information.
Wikipedia is forever a work in progress. It contains high quality articles and poor quality articles. The existence of an article does not mean it is "within purview" or meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. It may only mean that no one has gotten around to deleting it yet. It isn't a good excuse to create more inadequate pages. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. If you wish to learn from example articles, be sure to use only Wikipedia's best.
Publishing your first article at Wikipedia is overrated. See Wikipedia:Community portal for much easier and more useful ways of improving the encyclopedia, or try Citation Hunt for a gamified way to contribute. After you've gained a few months of experience editing existing articles, you'll be better prepared to create your first. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:46, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What do you recommend on how to get a published review of the film when they are all archived from the journals that wrote them?

I am asking for a re-review because I have changed the content. In my opinion the person has notability, the person has contributed to the science of Hydrology as is evident by the numerous citing's of his works by other scientists. Again in my opinion, I have removed the content that suggested an obituary. (If not please let me know)

Possibly you can give me advise as to how to change the article so that "Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view" and how "Wikipedia has no firm rules".

Please advise, Dan DanStallman (talk) 19:47, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just wanted to check on the submission of this article. It's been quite some time since this was revised to show solid notability, so I wanted to kindly ask if there's any more that may be able to be done here. My goal is to highlight and document Austin artists that have accomplished significant achievements outside of the city itself. Thanks so much.

Athousanddaysbefore (talk) 23:13, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Athousanddaysbefore. The draft was most recently submitted 6 weeks ago. Other drafts have been waiting 14-15 weeks for a review, so it's likely to be a while yet (although substantially less than a thousand days). If you're interested in improving Wikipedia, there are plenty of other backlogs you could shorten while you wait. See Wikipedia:Community portal for ways to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:13, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
