editNeed help - creating Articles for: Sayo Kosugi (March 2)
editHi,
I've been having some troubles couple of times submitting the article about Sayo Kosugi. I used all the info discussing with the person (Sayo Kosugi) and have confirmed with her using the texts. Sorry I'm still too new to this community and learning by doing. Thanks for your help!
Questions are, - would it be possible to use the same text that the author/person who has the copyright to claim? - on which part of the article actually was the violation of copyrights? unless specified, I have no idea which clause to update

- If the copyright holder wishes to give permission for content to be used on Wikipedia, donating copyright materials details the process. Keep in mind, though, that Wikipedia is free content, so this donation means that anyone can use the material with few restrictions. If the copyright holder is not willing to allow that, then the material should be summarized in different words. Anon126 (talk - contribs) 23:17, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
Review of Kirkibost Bernera
editI wanted to write a piece about this interesting village partly because the link referring to it in the article about the island (Great Bernera) in which it is situated took you to a completely different place (ie Kirkibost North Uist). That was a factually incorrect piece of information but it along with some other factually incorrect information on the page for Great Bernera seems to be accepted as true. For example local knowledge on places on that island are discarded in favour of mis-spelt Ordnance Survey place names. Also Kirkibost does not get the recognition it deserves in this piece. When I tried to edit that piece it was simply discarded by someone who is obviously not local and has no local knowledge.
It is hugely frustrating that this is just rejected with no explanation why? Unfortunately I don't really have time to work out how to create links and cross referencing so I'd really need some assistance with that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.53.229.34 (talk) 08:21, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Only published sources can be used, local knowlege means nothing if it has not previously appeared in a Reliable source. This is necessary so that anyone can Verify the claim, unfortunately "ask a local" doesn't work. Look for articles in local newspapers or magazines. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:00, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Refusal of articles (from User:Earthoceans)
editim getting really jacked off because im trying to submit what i believe are good articles for wikpedia and every single one gets deleted... what must i do ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Earthoceans (talk • contribs) 08:43, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
HOW DOES THIS WORK?????? I AM TRYING TO SUBMIT ARTICLES AND I HAVE SPENT HOURTS TRYING TO PLEASE YOU GUYS....HOW DO I DO IT???? Earthoceans (talk) 08:45, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hello, Earthoceans. I have combined your queries under one heading. I'm assuming from your talk page that you are referring to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chronogenetics and an article you created directly, AFRICA UNITE PARTY. Voceditenore (talk) 09:17, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- I'll start with AFRICA UNITE PARTY which you created yesterday for a political party which was founded only a week ago. The article was speedily deleted for unambiguous and blatant promotionalism, and failure to credibly indicate the notability of the subject. Having seen the cached version of the article, both are correct assessments. However, it would also have been speedily deleted as a blatant copyright infringement. It was copied verbatim from http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Western-Cape/Cape-of-Good-Hope/blog-826851.html. It also had no references at all, and quick search indicates that coverage of this brand new party is virtually non-existent outside of blogs and other self-published sources.
- As for Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chronogenetics, we cannot accept an article which consists wholly of original research and has no references from reliable sources to support any of the claims made in it. However, The subject is a notable one. See [1] and [2]. I suggest you now spend your time adding reliable sources to the draft before you go any further. and that you look at an article like Chronobiology, to see the type of sources and writing that are required.
- I think you'll find Wikipedia:Your first article very helpful as to how to get off of the right foot and avoid some of the pitfalls you have fallen into. You need to be patient both with yourself and with other editors who are helping keep Wikipedia free from non-compliant articles. Most importantly, take your time with getting these things right. The encyclopedia isn't going to run away. Best wishes. Voceditenore (talk) 09:48, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
i am getting a bit impatient because i have been trying time and time again to submit a simple article only for it to be refused each time...why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Earthoceans (talk • contribs) 09:54, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Please see my answer above and please do not keep creating new sections each time you post. Voceditenore (talk) 11:05, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi, sorry to bother you. I've submitted an article "Andrew Jarvis" which has been moved to "Wikipedia talk: Articles for Creation/Andrew Jarvis".
There's a notice saying that the Wikipedia page "Andrew Jarvis" already exists, and I've looked at it, and it's a different man. I've written on Andrew Jarvis, the actor. Do you think I should change the Wikipedia article name? I'd like to keep Andrew Jarvis if possible. But if I had to change the title, it would be "Andrew Jarvis, actor".
What would you suggest, under the circumstances?
Best Wishes,
Gillian PiggottGillianpiggott (talk) 12:24, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- No, you can leave the name as it is. When the article is accepted, the reviewer will change the name to something like Andrew Jarvis (actor). Anon126 (talk - contribs) 23:03, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

I have created a draft of an article about an important, emerging company in a significant space in the software industry. It was rejected upon review for lack of verifiable sources. Some of the most important sources I cited are third-party industry analysts who put their content behind paywalls. While this content is easily available outside the paywalls, I did not feel when writing the article that quoting those "outside the paywall" sources for what were otherwise "inside the paywall" quotations was appropriate. I also checked Wikipedia guidelines and found that sources behind paywalls are allowed because the rules do not state that content has to be free or easily available. I am concerned that the reviewer just said "no" because the links did not immediately lead to the content he/she expected to find.
Any advice on the best way to handle this?

- Even if the Spend Matters article is a substantial one that supports the content cited to it, I think there would be a good argument to say that notability is not made clear in this submission. Business Week likes to list lots of business-related things in listings; Gartner and Forrester like to rate lots of business-related things in various categories... such listings and ratings seem to me to be trivial rather than significant coverage.
