Request on 00:35:20, 4 November 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Dychen

edit


I am the author of Draft:Zanata_(Software). I received the "Submission declined" messages multiple time because WP:NPOV.

I need help on how to spot the sentences that looks like promotional and the more proper way to write them.

The best route is to open a dialogue with the reviewer who gave that opinion Fiddle Faddle 12:15, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way to edit the title of a page I have created?

Julievesmall (talk) 04:47, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After you have made a certain number of edits and been a registered user for a certain length of time, the move option appears, probably in the "More" drop down tab. When this appears your move the article to the new title. Fiddle Faddle 12:17, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One of my article is rejected, now after how many days I would be able to resubmit the article?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Veena91 (talk • contribs) 06:18, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no time period. The faster you do the work suggested the faster you may resubmit. The process is iterative. Fiddle Faddle 12:18, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey i was wondering how i can make my person in my article "notable." Thank you!
@Pancax77: Hi, and welcome to the Help Desk! Thanks for stopping by. Notability is one of Wikipedia's key content policies: articles here have to demonstrate that the subject is notable. Notability on Wikipedia doesn't mean quite the same thing as the typical dictionary definition; rather, it basically boils down to whether the article has received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. (See WP:GNG for this rule.) There are some other notability rules for specific subjects too. For example, people can be notable if they meet special criteria too.
As for your article, the subject does not appear to be notable, given the fact that there is likely little written about them in reliable published sources. Let us know if you have any other questions about this subject. Thanks, /wia /tlk 00:24, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious what I can do to improve or get my submission approved.

The comments say: submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability.

First, Mr. DeSantiago is a well-known reporter/anchor for Telemundo - a Spanish language network. His biography is not the first television anchor/reporter to be published on Wikipedia. So that alone should make him notable -- as for example other anchors/reporters published on Wikipedia include Rob Stafford https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Stafford (Anchor/Chicago), Carol Marin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_Marin (Reporter/Chicago), Russ Mitchell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russ_Mitchell (Anchor/Reporter, Cleveland), Jim Giles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Giles_(meteorologist) (Meteorologist/Tulsa), Ash-har Quraishi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash-har_Quraishi (Investigative Reporter/Kansas City) Gio Benitez https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gio_Benitez (Reporter/ABC News), etc.

Additionally, Mr. DeSantiago is also notable as a reporter/anchor because he made national headlines in 2014 when a murder suspect he was interviewing at a San Antonio apartment complex opened fire on his news crew. The suspect made an on camera confession to an earlier murder, and later confessed to other shootings in the San Antonio area. The gun fire at the news crew is eerily similar to the Virginia news crew shooting -- and portrays the danger journalists often face.

As for viable sources, I've included links about the shooting from WFAA-TV (Dallas), KHOU-TV (Houston) and KENS-TV (San Antonio).

Please advise what I can do to improve my submission.

The feedback I got was the page was written like an advertisement. I would like suggestions on specifics on how to improve the page to address the concerns and re-submit. The idea is to make the page informative and objective about the company, and I tried to follow the style and format of other similar companies.

Prieur32 (talk) 21:14, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Prieur32: The challenge is twofold. The tone is somewhat promotional and the references are poor, as stated in the review. We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
Improve both of these and you stand a chance Fiddle Faddle 21:27, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article I submitted for review is rejected. Reason stated: "This still needs any more available coverage overall." I fail to understand the reason stated. Proper citations and references have been provided in the article. Please guide. Connect2afi (talk) 21:22, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Connect2afi: Most of the content in the article is not verified by citations to reliably published sources. Either provide footnotes for the claims or remove the unsourced claims. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:43, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You will also need to remove the unmitigated advertorial of content like "That is not all, Xulfi’s passion, dedication, visionary perspective, risk-taking attitude, self-confidence, fearless behavior, persistence, and leadership skills are what have qualified him as perfect mentor " . We provide content from a a neutral detached point of view that is representative of what third party experts say of the subject, not his chief marketer and PR hacks state. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:46, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pancax77 (talk) 23:09, 4 November 2015 (UTC) How do i move my article to a draft space[reply]

The article currently in your sandbox is about a young gentleman who does not pass WP:BIO so there is little point, I'm afraid. Fiddle Faddle 13:58, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
