06:40:39, 7 February 2018 review of submission by Omega68537

edit

Hello! I asked a question on January 31, but nobody replied. I don't sure that is the subject notable or not. Because the subject is a notable host of CCTV, and she hosts a notable program. From this point of view, she should be notable enough. However, there isn't many available sources about her that meets WP:GNG, so it's difficult to show her notability. What's more, there is no reliable English source available. This will cause some trouble for English-speaking reviewers. Give me some advices, please! and please review my draft earlier.

Hi Omega68537. The draft is in the pool to be reviewed. About 1,200 drafts have been waiting longer. You can expect it to be reviewed by the first week in April. The absence of English sources should have no effect on the draft's odds of approval. You are unlikely, however, to get early feedback regarding notability because evaluating notability is similar to a doing a full review, and this help desk is not a way to jump the queue. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:23, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was wondering why my article was denied. Oltatahiri (talk) 08:23, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Oltatahiri - The reviewer left rational at the top of the article. The article breaches Wikipedia's policy of advertisment. The article isn't written from a Neutral point of view, and isn't really written as a Wikipedia entry. You will need to edit this for the article to be reviewable. However, even written correctly, the article still needs additional sourcing to meet General Notability Guidelines. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:56, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How's this? I've added two sources. 194.135.171.64 (talk) 19:45, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The draft will be reviewed in due course, but in the meantime I've left a note on it. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:39, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

19:47:59, 7 February 2018 review of draft by Richiechambers

edit


My article, with the draft title "HTMLCOIN" has now been deleted twice because of copyright infringement. I was working on a Wikipedia entry and was contacted by a wiki project that wanted to include my article within their pages. I gave them my article to post within their pages, which they did. But then when I went to post my article as a "stand alone" article on Wikipedia it got deleted for copyright infringement because of the earlier posting of the same article within the wiki project that I shared it with. The Wikipedia editor who deleted it said that there needed to be some kind of license on the first article that would allow it to be copied. I then contacted the people I gave the first article to and they got a creative commons license for their project and placed that license on the page I wrote for them. I thought I was then good to go, so I submitted my article to be a stand alone wikipedia article. It got deleted again, even though I contested the speedy deletion by saying that the original article had a creative commons license attached to it. Can you help me? I thought if a creative commons licences was attached to the first article, which is currently buried deep within a Wiki project, that I can then post the same article as a stand alone wikipedia article? Am I missing something? Please help.

FYI: here is the original article that is posted within a wiki project: https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/HTMLCOIN

Thanks for your time and attention! Cheers, Rich Chambers

Hi Richiechambers. The best person to ask in a case like this is the deleting admin, RHaworth. Your explanation of the content's CC BY-SA 4.0 status sounds reasonable to me, but there may be subtleties or factors of which I am unaware of because I can't see the deleted draft. Also note that solving the copyright problem doesn't necessarily mean you can use the same text on Wikipedia, it still has to meet all of Wikipedia's other policies and guidelines. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:55, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:MatthewVanitas seems to have declined the creation of a disambiguation page for Roderick Falconer with the message:

"Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Roderick Falconer (disambiguation) instead."

The page linked doesn't exist and shares the name of the one I was trying to create! Why can't I make this article? Onceafros (talk) 21:50, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Onceafros: I'm not sure why the reviewer did that. If you resubmit, I would be happy to accept it. Disambiguations are usually uncontroversial, and this one seems no different. JTP (talk • contribs) 01:21, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Onceafros: my bust, I mis-coded it. What I meant to say was that it's declined because your Disambiguation page only has one outgoing link. By definition, we need two "Roderick Falconer" articles to justify having a Disambig. Makes sense? If you're planning to create a second Roderick Falconer article about a different person with the same name, please create that first, then we'll need a Disambig. MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:01, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@MatthewVanitas: It has two outgoing links: Roderick Falconer and Roderick Taylor, the latter of whom is also known as Roderick Falconer. JTP (talk • contribs) 22:14, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Onceafros: Whelp, I've dug myself enough of a hole. Apologies to the submitter, and I've accepted your Draft. MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:28, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@MatthewVanitas and NotTheFakeJTP: No worries, glad it's all sorted now. Thanks for helping a newbie out! Onceafros (talk) 01:24, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
