00:56:13, 20 November 2018 review of draft by Thomas Enesuatims

edit

Hello Mods,

I'm trying to build my first page here in wikipedia, but my subject has no individual resource on big news websites that only talks about itself. Is it okay to just point it on their own website? I mean if you have a new topic and don't have much on the news what it the best way to go with citations?

@Thomas Enesuatims: Wikipedia is not the place to promote a cryptocurrency, or anything else. It would need to be covered, in depth and independently, by multiple reliable mainstream financial sources (think The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, and the like) before it would be considered for inclusion in the encyclopedia. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:28, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Can you please help me, I have trouble trying to embed this image on the page I'm trying to build (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Shane_morand.jpg). I also updated the citation for "Shane Morand".

@Donna Villani51: Help:Pictures explains how to get images onto pages. It's somewhat academic, however, since so far no reviewer is convinced that Shane Morand is a suitable topic for an encyclopedia article, and a photograph isn't going to change that. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:19, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, just wondering why this submission was reject, we have many articles written about him, is it that they have to hyperlink to the article (click through)?

The decline was for the wromg reason. You need to cite facts inline - what reference goes with what part? The topic is fine. Legacypac (talk) 07:30, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thank you for taking the time to help me, i'm writing about a media show and the only references i can find are on "Entrepreneur Magazine" which is a website, is the website specifically not credible or do I need more sources or is it a problem with how I am referencing? Thank you kindly. Mothman200 (talk) 07:27, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mothman200: The answer is the same as when the question was asked by undeclared paid editor Digital Kungfu. See here. Shortly thereafter, Draft:The Matt Brown Show was speedily deleted as unambiguous advertising or promotion. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:05, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear madam, dear sir, I would like to ask you if some can re-review my draft article about Timor Leste–Indonesia–Australia Growth Triangle (TIA-GT). It was declined on 14th of November and I changed it accordingly the same day and since they I'm waiting until today (20th of November). I know, it's a normal length to wait, I just think that there is something wrong with my draft, there is written that I changed it 2 minutes ago, where in fact I changed it 6 days ago. And there is also written that there is 1564 pending submissions before me and this number also didn't change in 6 days.

I hope you can help me, I'm in a time pressure. Thank you very much in advance Katerina Ratajova

KaterinaRatajova (talk) 13:16, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Katerina - there is no guaranteed time period by which any review will occur. The reviewers are all, like us, volunteers, and no doubt just as busy as we are! I'm not sure what the algorithm is (if any, and I suspect there isn't!) but requests aren't dealt with simply by strict time order of posting. Like you, I am waiting for advice from the help desk following a re-edited draft Wikipedia page having been declined. I am keen to try to understand how to improve it so that it is suitable, but in the end I can only wait and hope... I wish you well with your revision!

@KaterinaRatajova: - as a side note, it's fairly unlikely the number doesn't change, but sometimes the cookies in your computer keep a local copy so it looks like it doesn't. Press the little "purge" button underneath any of the boxes and it will update. I just did it and it has 1487 articles in the current queue. Nosebagbear (talk) 18:25, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And if (like me!) you don't have a 'purge' button, press [Ctrl]+F5 - this clears the cache and reloads the page in Windows. Kitb (talk) 20:39, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kirusanth Thachinamurthy: - Hello. The reviewer was correct to reject this as not a topic suitable for wikipedia. As well as it strongly advised to not write about yourself (I assume you are the subject) there isn't any indication that you have any notable coverage in suitable sources.

Hi, I have submitted an article 'Good Hemp Food' on 14 November. Would it be possible to have it reviewed. I have made the necessary amendments- independent and reliable sources.

I look forward to your reply.

Passion d (talk) 16:46, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Passion d, Hi thank you for your work on the draft. Drafts are reviewed in no specific order so you'll probably have to wait. When the draft is accepted, declined or commented on, you'll be notified You are free to keep working on your draft until that. If you need anymore help, ask away!JC7V (talk) 17:14, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I submitted an article on Wikipedia about myself. In order for me to get this sorted on my YouTube account, I need a Wikipedia page. That is why I am trying to create one.

I am an independent singer-songwriter from Amsterdam and don't have a Wikipedia page yet. However, I created one and it got declined I was wondering if you could help me out with the article. I'm new to this so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I got the message from the person that declined the article, that my citation in the article isn't correct. Also, that person mentioned that the article does not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.
