Hi Criminalminds19788, www.forbes.com/sites by contributors (rather than Forbes staff) are not the same as Forbes magazine. They are blogs, so not reliable sources for facts, only for the opinion of the author. They do nothing to establish notability. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources. The draft cites none. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:36, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,

I recently tried to create this article on a piece of software on behalf of the company I'm working for. I created an article for both the German and English Wikipedia using mostly the same sources (unless there was a more useful source exclusive to either language). The German article was accepted without a problem while it did not pass review here. By now I know that the different Wikipedias operate quite differently, but I'd still like to know how specifically I can improve the draft so I can re-submit it at some point. Sadly I cannot contact the person responsible for the review since they have since then been blocked due to sock puppetry. Maybe somebody here can help me. Thanks a lot in advance!

best,

Dominik

Hi!

I just wrote a wikipedia page and got rejected right away. i read the guidelines for publishing and they said that I must use independent sources and not the corporate website and I did just that. could you tell me what I did wrong? Service Hero is a very useful concept for Kuwait and I think people should know more about it.

@Sarahsami6: - Hi there. I went to your page to try and find a link to the draft but was unable to find it in your edits (or by a rough search) - could you give me a link to it, or at least its exact name?
Did you create it with your current username? Nosebagbear (talk) 20:35, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have added references to the article crediting Titles and championships, the writeup to the team's first ever match. Is there more this article needs to be published?Allusivereaper7 (talk) 14:19, 19 November 2018 (UTC) Allusivereaper7 (talk) 14:19, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this getting denied? I've referenced all the information in Coach Hughes' bio.

You have cited the material incorrectly. Please see WP:REFB for the proper method. JTP (talk • contribs) 15:26, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

edit


Another news source similar to the Vallejo Times Herald is being required for this article. However, the first source listed from edmentum.com should suffice. Please advise as to why this source isn't a valid one. Lambdeb (talk) 17:30, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Lambdeb: - Hi there. That source isn't being accepted as valid in this sense because it isn't WP:INDEPENDENT - they have a strong self-interest in providing a non-neutral POV towards educational sites. To establish notability, wikipedia articles need multiple secondary sources that are reliable, independent and cover the topic in detail. Nosebagbear (talk) 20:38, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear all (and especially CNMall41 who denied my proposal of article), thanks for reviewing so quickly the draft about Francesco d'Errico (the draft is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Francesco_d%27Errico). Apart from this, I don't understand your point about the references needed. There are some references in the text when needed or possible, but since this page is mainly the explanation of the life of someone, and since this someone never wrote a book about himself, I don't know what to cite for his place of birth nor for the name of his wife... I can understand you probably have tons of pages to check, but here I would like to know more about where references are missing. My draft is for example way more referenced than the one of another archeologist of the same kind of celebrity : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Hublin

I took this page as an example and tried to make better.

All the best
