This article is about a person. The writing is all about his introduction, achievements and success story. Why was my article rejected? Please help me in rewriting the article. Cyberknifeindia (talk) 05:55, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyberknifeindia: - as always, the best information as to why your draft was failed was the information left by the reviewer. In this case:
 Comment: Notability, weasel wordings, lack of inline citations, inclusion of honorifics... all these issues need be addressed before resubmitting this draft. 
Businesswire and own website are not good sources by our standards.Trivial awards do not add to notability.

First, you need to prove the subject is notable to pass WP:GNG, and also be very careful to source, and use inline citations against every comment that you make. Unsourced WP:BLP articles are mostly always deleted. The reviewer also mentions that the article is not written in a Neutral tone. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:14, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I would like to publish an article about an e-commerce company (mytheresa.com). I am not connected to the company in any way, I do it because I am asked by my university. I used quotes, sources from the New York Times . Why can not I publish my page? Could you help me get it published? ValerioPettinicchi (talk) 11:15, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:ValerioPettinicchi - First, why did the university ask you to submit the article? If this is just a random assignment by a professor, you might do well to speak to your professor about the corporate notability guidelines and point out that we do not accept an article simply because it has been assigned, but only because the subject is notable. If there is a conflict of interest, then that is also problematic. The main problem with your draft is that, as the reviewer said, it does not show notability of the company. Also, the name of the draft should be the name of the company, not your name. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:51, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Roguebeast (talk) 12:04, 10 January 2018 (UTC) i have a few questions about why the draft page Rithvik Thammareddy got declined. what kind of specific information were u looking for?[reply]

User:Roguebeast - The draft in question is Draft:Rithvik Thammareddy and has no references. You are trying to submit an article on a non-notable person. Please read the sports notability guidelines and the biographical notability guidelines, and perhaps you will see that your subject does not qualify for a page in Wikipedia. Also, continuing to resubmit it in its current form merely annoys the reviewers and may result in the draft being tagged for deletion, so please don't.

Requesting assistance because I have never done this before and the articles I am finding aren't helpful.

User:Shdickson - The draft that you submitted was speedily deleted as a copyright violation. We cannot accept material that is copyrighted, even if you are the owner of the copyright (unless you agree to release the copyright under CC-BY-SA, which very few businesses will do). Also, since you are trying to get a business with which you are associated listed, please read the conflict of interest guidelines. Wikipedia is not here to assist you in promoting your client or your business. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:49, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, my publisher has been working to submit a wikipedia page on my behalf. She received the above response. I told her I would help her with the resubmission, but I am unsure of what exactly you are asking for. Before writing you, I looked at several examples of authors who have pages on wikipedia (see for example, Kathleen "Katie" Fallon). Many of these pages provide fewer references and show less notability, which suggests inconsistency in terms of what editors want. I'd like to know how close this entry is to being accepted. Perhaps it is not worth the time to make the revisions. It's not clear to me if the editor is suggesting major changes or minor ones. Again, for example, my press could list fewer awards or my press could quote from reviews of my work and put those comments into the text itself. Those are minor revisions that I can help her undertake. Or is the editor saying that if I have not been reviewed by the Times then I am not notable, in which case, no more effort should be put toward this. Thank you. 2601:680:8001:1F5A:C89E:A0D0:EA3E:F947 (talk) 15:44, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Are you Jennifer Sinor? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:46, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Your draft reads as though it is being written to promote Sinor and her books. It should be written in a neutral tone. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:46, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know why my article was declined?

I did not write the article in 1930, but I received permission which I submitted to Wikipedia from the Memphis Commercial Appeal to make it free use on Wikipedia. There are several photos that need to be reviewed by Wikipedia staff as well.

It is a direct quote from the Newspaper Article about Archie League's life published in the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Since it's a quote from a full page feature newspaper article from 1930, it has historical merit. Please reconsider your decision.

User:Bestword57 - Your draft has no references, which is why the reviewer said that it was not supported by reliable sources. It also has a breezy informal tone that is not appropriate for Wikipedia, which is an encyclopedia and is written in the formal neutral tone.

I need to change the name of the Draft I'm working on from "Archie L. League" to "Achen League" so that it will reflect the birth name of Archie League. This will enable me to insert reliable sources into the document. There is a lot of confusion between his Son Archie W. League (the first air traffic controller) and Archie L. League the radio personality. I will be able to site a reliable source for his name once the draft name is changed to Achen League.

Thanks for all your help.

Bestword57 (talk) 20:55, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Bestword57: Hello, Bestword. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Changing the draft's name is something that can be done at the end of the review process. In the meantime, the current name of the draft will not prevent you from adding reliable sourcing about the subject. NewYorkActuary (talk) 03:52, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I did figure that out now and have decided to use citations. My quandary is there is literally no information on the man anywhere to be found except one reference to him being the Father of Archie W. League (first air traffic controller). This reference is from an ancestry/genealogy site.

The only historical reference to this man is a full-page newspaper article on his life from 1937. I had to obtain this from a library microfilm department. Would it be possible to simply publish a picture of the newspaper article (and therefore any informal, breezy language would not actually be in text form, rather it would appear in picture form)?

Thanks in advance, Bestword57 (talk) 15:19, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Bestword57: Being published in 1937, the Memphis Commercial Appeal article is still under copyright. It may be used as a source, but may not be reproduced here in text or picture form. If the only independent, reliable, secondary source is the newspaper article, then Archie L. League doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and should not be included as a stand alone article. A few sentence about him could be included in Archie League. Wikipedia is not intended to cover everyone who ever lived. Some people will be footnotes in the dustbin of history. You may wish to explore alternative outlets, such as Family Search, that have different inclusion criteria. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:37, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]


There is a draft but there is no article yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Archie_L._League

I think based on the fact that Archie L. League is the Father of Archie W. League and Archie L. League was one of the early radio personalities, vaudeville and the Klondike Gold Rush adventurer merits at least some consideration as to his notability. He knew Jack London and a lot of other people whom became famous later on. I think the story (especially the Yukon Gold Rush part) warrants telling, but without the opportunity we'll never know.

The Gold Rush account is a piece of history told in the vernacular of the day. I believe this is of particular value in anyone studying such things.

Hi!

I am trying to make an official soundtrack album wikipedia page for the movie Pottersville. I am unsure of how to go about the proper steps to represent this content and prove that I haven't violated any copyright laws in its content, particularly the page containing the album's cover. Can someone walk me through these processes, as the current systems in place are most confusing. To be quite honest I don't even know if I submitted this post correctly.

LaCroizy (talk) 22:24, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@LaCroizy: Hello, LaCroizy. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. You probably are not going to be able to justify having a separate article on the film soundtrack, because it seems unlikely that you can demonstrate that it has notability independent of the film itself. So why not just add it as a new section of the article on Pottersville (film). If you choose that route, other editors at that article will likely be willing to help with the technical details. I hope this response has been helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 02:06, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
