Welcome

Hello, Paolaagp and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 18:53, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Paolaagp, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Your draft

I moved your draft back to your sandbox because it isn't ready for mainspace. While I'm not familiar with your sources, only one (RTVC) appears to be a journalistic source, while the Conferias and FILBo sources do not appear to be independent. I'm not sure about the Cerosetenta, but you need at least two or three independent reliable sources to establish notability.

Also make sure your tone is formal and encyclopaedic. For example, you wrote

enjoy the most relevant and longstanding cultural event In Colombia

"Enjoy" isn an opinion, not a verifiable fact, and the claim that it's the "most relevant" needs to be more specific (relevant to whom?) and needs a stronger source to support that claim. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:04, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello Ian.

Thank you for your comments. I would change the information.

However, I would like to use this space to ask what I can do with my sources. The information I am sharing in my article is not one that I can alter and, therefore, I need official information that in this case can only be provided by the official website of the Book Fair.   Paolaagp (talk) 18:53, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

@Paolaagp I moved the article back to your sandbox. The article is still based primarily on sources that are not independent of the group putting on the book fair.

The information I am sharing in my article is not one that I can alter and, therefore, I need official information that in this case can only be provided by the official website of the Book Fair.

That's not how Wikipedia articles work. You need to report what independent reliable sources say about the topic. Sure, in some cases you'll use an organisation's official documents for some claims, but the article needs to be based primarily on secondary sources.

For starters, anyone can create a website and say anything on it. A website is only trustworthy because other sources, who have a reputation for being reliable, say the website (and the organisation behind it) are real, and are notable. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:37, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

International Book Fair of Bogotá moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, International Book Fair of Bogotá, is not suitable as written to remain published. It appears there is a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:33, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: International Book Fair of Bogotá has been accepted

International Book Fair of Bogotá, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider .

Thanks again, and happy editing!
