I am curious about publishing. The draft is sitting for months, and I don't want it to be rejected. Samnyasa (talk) 02:32, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The draft is submitted and pending. Reviews are conducted by volunteers in no particular order. Please be patient, there is no way to "jump the line". 331dot (talk) 11:04, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hello, we prepared this draft ourselves as a university, I don't understand why it was rejected, we were rejected for the 2nd time. everything was prepared correctly and carefully Cem Barut 10:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@İstbull, I haven't found any GNG-worthy sources. Plus, a significant portion of the draft lacks proper sourcing. You've included every small detail about the university, so please remove any unnecessary unsourced material or provide citations for them. Additionally, there's no lead section in your draft; please add one. Also, you mentioned preparing this draft yourselves as a university. Does this mean that multiple persons use this account? – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:14, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

11:47, 29 March 2024 review of submission by Yuliia Vireye

edit

Hello! The article about the game was not agreed because as you pointed out reliable secondary sources are needed. However, the sources indicate examples of media that have already written about this game. You can see that these media are not involved, and wrote on their own initiative. Also, these media have been working since 2005+, and for so many years of work, they have earned trust and high ratings. In addition, these publications mention the activity and representation of the game at major international events (not as a mention, but a specific story about the game). Yuliia Vireye (talk) 11:47, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yuliia Vireye: sources 1 and 4 are the same, just in a different language, meaning they're clearly based on a press release or similar. Source 2 is the same. The only one which might (emphasis on might) be okay is no. 3, but that alone is far from enough to establish notability.
You must also disclose your paid editing; I've posted instructions on your talk page. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:01, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Can you tell me what elements this article needs the most, in order for it get approved? More press? More verified biographical info? Thank you! Luckydigs (talk) 16:12, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to be notable having been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums they pass WP:NARTIST I'm happy to accept if you re-submit. Theroadislong (talk) 16:50, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just re-submitted - thank you! Luckydigs (talk) 02:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the response I received telling me the article had been rejected, "References not formatted in the appropriate way." I used visual editor and added links to all material that was referenced. There must be 30 links. How am I supposed to know what the reviewer objected to. Amp-e728 (talk) 21:31, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft was declined not rejected see WP:REFB for help with correctly formatting sources and note that we don't use external links in the body of an article. Theroadislong (talk) 21:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Courtesy link Draft:Tracy Pun Palandjian. Theroadislong (talk) 21:38, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you tell me what this means? (apologies if that's a dumb question, but aren't all citations external links?) Amp-e728 (talk) 22:05, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They can be but they are formatted to appear at the end of the article under the reference section. See WP:REFB for how to do that. Theroadislong (talk) 22:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you were starting to learn engineering, would you make your first project to build a car from scratch? If you took up a musical instrument, would you arrange a public recital as the first thing you did? No, you would practise on less demanding projects while you learnt the craft.
I would very strongly advise you that you will save yourself a great deal of frustration and disappointment if you forget about creating a new article for several months, while you gradually learn about how Wikipedia works (and most particularly about Verifiability, reliable sources, and Neutral point of view) by making improvements to some of our six million existing articles..

ok. i wil read about citations again. if i'm honest, when i read about inline citations on wikipedia pages i don't see a restriction about external links identified, but maybe i missed that somehow. Amp-e728 (talk) 22:21, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See Wikipedia:External links also. Theroadislong (talk) 22:26, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
