please anyone can help me building the page kritn ajitesh .OR vcan nyone build the page

Tejaskapoor22 You have made the common error of diving right in to article creation without understanding the process or what goes into creating an article- which is the absolute hardest task to perform on Wikipedia. New users are much more successful at creating articles when they first edit existing articles in areas that interest them, to get a feel for how Wikipedia works and for what is expected of article content. In this case, it might have helped you become familiar with the notability guidelines for actors. It appears that your friend does not meet those guidelines, at least with the sources you have provided. Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about article subjects. Without such sources, your friend would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time.
If you are able to find such sources, you should first read Your First Article and use the new user tutorial to learn more about the process. You should also review conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 07:56, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know why my draft was rejected ? I followed all the guideline of wikipedia to create a page on a new subject by referencing all by sources and to give more information about a company to whom it would interest. This is why I would a least like to know the reason of this reject.

Asthes, The article was a full on advertisement which is not welcome here. Sulfurboy (talk) 09:25, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

hello, I am looking at getting further input into the article draft we have created and wonder if someone could point out where we need to look at or change? This is one of the first pages we have created so any further help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Jay Stall (talk) 09:14, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is just advertising, I suggest that like the many volunteers here, you spend a few hundred hours editing other articles before you have the gall to start charging for your services. Theroadislong (talk) 09:20, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copula article declined

edit

Hello, My article was declined by a senior editor :@Sulfurboy:. The comments provided were "What is going to be most helpful here is providing a lead that introduces the subject to the uninitiated reader. That is, imagine you are trying to explain this concept as simply as possible to someone that doesn't know about this subject, how would you do so? Once that is done we can properly assess the notability of the subject." This comment makes perfect sense, however, the concept is already define in another article on Wikipedia at URL https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Copula_(probability_theory). Does it mean that I am suppose to duplicate the same information in my article? Or it it more appropriate to merge two articles? Also, I would be thankful if a senior editor could help write this up so that it is accepted? Thanks for the feedback. Earthianyogi (talk) 11:07, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Earthianyogi, Yeah I wouldn't word for word repeat what's said in another article, but maybe incorporate the ideas in that lead with a simple connection made from that broader subject to this more specific topic, if that makes sense. Sulfurboy (talk) 11:11, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sulfurboy, I think it does. I will try to add short context to the article and re-submit. Thx

Earthianyogi (talk) 11:07, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Earthianyogi - I see that you are trying to write about technical mathematical topics. I would suggest that you ask for advice at WikiProject Mathematics. I will also comment that I would rather read technical mathematical drafts that I do not understand than advertising that I do understand. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:58, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:Robert McClenon Fantastic, thank you! Earthianyogi (talk) 17:01, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to Other Experienced Editors

edit

It appears that this new editor is trying to contribute to Wikipedia in highly technical mathematical areas, and is having difficulty with the style or approach, and should be encouraged. This editor is likely to provide more of a contribution to the encyclopedia than editors who want help in advertising their companies. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:18, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

12:15:52, 7 April 2020 review of submission by Dudup2020

edit

Hello! I have been working on an article, and it's been declined three times. Could I get some specific help on what I need to change? Nothing is seeming to work. Thanks! Dudup2020 (talk) 12:15, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As you were told yesterday "You offer no independent reliable sources to show how this person meets the Wikipedia definition of a notable musician" So you need to find at least three of those before re-submitting. Theroadislong (talk) 15:46, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

12:20:24, 7 April 2020 review of draft by Mollygmorris

edit


Hiya,

I've been working on a page about Vernon Francois the hair stylist for a while now, which keeps getting declined for using a non-neutral tone. I think I've finally fixed it, but wanted to get some tips beforehand, as I don't want it to get deleted because it keeps getting declined. Is there anyway someone could take a look just to give me some feedback?

Thank you!

14:08:16, 7 April 2020 review of submission by EVS2015

edit

Hi,

I've had two reviews and comments regarding the Wikipedia draft article on The Power of Nutrition. I made edits, trying to remove anything that read like an advertisement and changed the tone to more neutral. The second review also got declined because, additionally, it was not adequately supported by reliable sources. I was wondering how I could go about ensuring the article complies to the Wikipedia guidelines entirely? I thought there was still a good variety of independent, reliable, published sources, not just ones produced by the charity, so as this has been deemed not to be the case, I was wondering if anyone could perhaps point me to specific sections that don't comply, and in your opinion appear to be the problem?

Thanks. EVS2015 (talk) 14:08, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have not asked a question, your draft has not been submitted for review either, it has only one source and was declined previously for not being adequately supported by reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 17:33, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

17:25:35, 7 April 2020 review of submission by Geoffrey Luoma

edit


Hello. I had published my sandbox page (very rough draft) for my class for someone to peer review it. Why was it rejected? Thank you! Geoffrey Luoma (talk) 17:25, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Geoffrey Luoma: Wikipedia does not publish original work or any essay-like submissions like this. Consequently, we also don't review work that isn't suitable for Wikipedia in the first place. If you believe the topic is notable as defined by Wikipedia, you have to begin by finding suitable sources and only then writing content based fully on those sources. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 18:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 18:56:01, 7 April 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by NanaKofiER

I believe the subject is notable for a wikipedia article, but i fear my lack of experience in creating wikipedia articles is hindering the process.

I respectfully ask a seasoned editor for assistance in creating an article that meets wikipedia standards.

Two things i would ask to be considered:

First, the subject has several published works on the web. It is easy to confuse published articles in credible news sources written by the subject and published articles written in credible news sources covering the subject. It seems like unintentionally the subject is being punished for being an authority figure with published writings.

Lastly, the source is an American living in America but has established authority, credibility and notability in the African country of Ghana. The Ghanaian sources include national news outlets in the country which should also be considered.

Thank you for your support.


NanaKofiER (talk) 18:56, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NanaKofiER, have you written this article before perhaps under a different username? The article you're referring to I can't find (it isn't in your contributions). We (other Wikipedia editors) can help you format the article, but you need to write it yourself. How about you go ahead and create the article and I'll check out the formatting. If the sources you mention are independent, reliable, and mention the subject significantly (not just trivial coverage), then a Wikipedia article would be theoretically possible on this subject, but again you need to create it yourself.

Hello, I would like to publish an article on Jonathan Tel. My draft was rejected for lack of notability. How do I fix that?

EHoward83 (talk) 19:20, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@EHoward83: As the big red banner on the draft page explains, you need to add multiple independent reliable in-depth sources to the article. You should follow the further comments left by the reviewer. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 20:51, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
EHoward83, Robert went above and beyond to explain why the article was declined. Did you have any specific questions about the policies he pointed out? Sulfurboy (talk) 20:51, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If his short stories have appeared in The New Yorker, you need to cite those stories as evidence of his notability. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:16, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

edit

I am wondering what changed I need to make for a re review and to have my article accepted? Chachanna (talk) 20:44, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chachanna, The article has been rejected which means it will not be considered further. I would advise maybe editing existing pages for awhile before venturing in to the very complicated world of page creation. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:50, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

23:13:32, 7 April 2020 review of submission by Document hippo

edit


I wonder what changes should be made for the article to be considered notable.

A retired Federal Security Service colonel who used to serve as the head of its public relations centre does sound to be a notable figure.

There's a lot of information in the Web, and I would appreciate any pointers regarding what kind of information should be added to that article.

Hi, i try to make game Draft with an image. But the game cover always disappear automatilly from the page. The image is low quality so it should not have copy right problem. Here is the image. Please help. Without image this page is not complete...



Sdifenlin (talk) 23:34, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sdifenlin, actually you have a legitimate point here. Fair use images are only allowed in the article space, but it seems to me as if the draft space should allow them as well. I'm probably missing something though because I'm sure someone's thought of this before. Anyway, I would just go without an image for now and then when (or if) your page is published to the mainspace (that is, it becomes an article), you can add the image in. Hope this helps, Sam-2727 (talk) 04:26, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Yes thank you ! i think the problem has solved :3. It was an image in the draft — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdifenlin (talk • contribs) 12:16, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
