@Ole2128silver: - as was said, I'm afraid there clearly is no notability (or even a claim of something that would make you notable) established. Nosebagbear (talk) 17:07, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

When editing in talk pages, the use of all caps is perceived as "shouting". Please do not write in all caps. Being a "real athlete" is not a reason for there to be an encyclopedia article about him. To be accepted for publication, the draft would need to show that he is a notable boxer or that he is notable in some other way. He does't appear to be, so is not a suitable topic for a Wikipedia article. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:19, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Any help on what changes I need to make to the draft to get it published will be greatly appreciated. If you cannot, but can send a link to some guidelines, that will also be helpful.

Kallidai Ramesh Narayana (talk) 04:59, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kallidai Ramesh Narayana. I left a welcome basket of links on your talk page that you may find useful.
Most of the sources that the draft cites are of extremely low quality: ibiblio.org, threadreaderapp, swamydesika.tripod.com, allaboutshoes.ca, ramanuja.org, indiadivine.org, fampeople.com, and anudinam.org. To have any hope of the draft being accepted, remove all of them and any content that came from them. For a topic of this nature there ought to be scholarly sources - books by academics published by university presses and articles by acadmics published in peer reviewed journals. Those are the kinds of sources to use. If you aren't sure where to start looking, try finding the topic in a printed encyclopedia and see what sources they cite. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:33, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

08:58:26, 3 April 2019 review of draft by Manacla

edit


Hi, you said that the article does not have enough sources, but all the content of the page is taken from the two external link shown at the bottom of the page. What else should I add?

Manacla (talk) 08:58, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Manacla. I've renamed the "External links" section "References". External links implies that the information for the article didn't come from there, so that may have been a source of confusion. Another way to improve the draft's chances would be to add citations to sources that aren't merely pages of statistics. It's unlikely that anyone has written a book touching on the topic, but there must have been contemporary coverage of the qualifier in newspapers and magazines. Additional context would also be helpful; what is FIBA, what sport is this for? --Worldbruce (talk) 16:18, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

11:49:06, 3 April 2019 review of draft by Lou Renwick

edit


I would like an independant listing for Cragend FArm and Cragend Silo please. Cragside Estate do not own these buildings. This is not promotion but fact. I do not know how else to prove what I am writing.


Lou Renwick (talk) 11:49, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lou Renwick. The reviewer of Draft:Cragend Farm left you good advice on the draft and on your talk page (where there are also useful links left by another editor when you were editing Cragside estate in January). You need to prove what you're writing by citing reliable sources. I've added a source to Draft:Cragend Silo as an example. If you need help finding sources, a local library or historical society would be a good place to start. You don't need many sources, 2-3 would be enough for a draft to be accepted, provided that they are high-quality sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:13, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

15:34:46, 3 April 2019 review of submission by Author Who

edit


You wrote that the Article is not sufficiently notable. The Ballroomdancer Luca Baricchi is for Ballroomdance like Michael Barischnikov for ballet. He developed Ballroomdance in his Career to the modern Form we see in this days. There is an article about him on Wikipedia with his ex-wife ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luca_and_Loraine_Baricchi ) and an article for his ex-wife ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loraine_Barry ). The new Article is more detailed than the old one and show his career for a longer Periode of time. Author Who (talk) 15:34, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Author Who. The way to prove the reviewer wrong is to cite multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage of Luca Baricchi. The draft cites only one source, dancesportinfo.net, and that only for selected awards between 1993 and 2001. None of the prose in the draft cites a source. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:56, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How do I make this notable? It's just a number. If 42 has a wikipedia page about it, 91000000 deserves one Another irate man (talk) 17:49, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are joking right? Legacypac (talk) 19:41, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
yes I'm sorry for using such a bad argument I shouldn't have said thatAnother irate man (talk) 18:06, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

21:07:37, 3 April 2019 review of draft by Gedgmoss

edit


I'm new to publishing, have a number of (scanned) old school photos I purchase (pre-internet) and looking for advice on how to share via Wiki. What's the best approach? I've tried to contact the original photographer without success.

Gedgmoss (talk) 21:07, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gedgmoss. If by "old" you mean taken before 1924, then they are in the public domain and you may upload them to Wikimedia Commons. If they are newer than that, you probably can't legally share them online (there are a few exceptions, but they are complicated, and you would need to know a lot about the history of the image - when it was taken, when it was published, whether it was registered, whether it was renewed, who took it, when they died, etc.) The presence or absence of photos will have no effect on whether the draft is accepted or not, so I recommend that you forget about images for now and concentrate on the text. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:15, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 23:21:13, 3 April 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Michael0658

edit


My potential article about Jodi Ann Arias was rejected: 

    "The reason left by Theroadislong was: This topic is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia."

Do you reject all articles about famous prisoners or just mine?

Do you have any objective or impartial authors?

I used to be able to trust Wikipedia, however it has disappointed me too many times with faulty information and opinions posted as verified facts. Now, it replies with a patently absurd claim about an article it should have encouraged and posted long ago.

Wikipedia, please don't keep asking me to contribute. I've already corrected the defective writing of many of your authors (like the one that reviewed my article proposal) already. I will never contribute until the above decision changes.

Michael John Strickland (not an anonymous coward like the user that reviewed my proposed article.)


Michael0658 (talk) 23:21, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Michael0658 Good day. First of all there is a Wikipedia policy of civility, thus kindly refrain name calling such as "calling another editor "coward", for whether to use one's real name as the Wikipedia username is subjective to an editor's choice as long as the username meets Wikipedia Wikipedia:Username policy. I am one of the reviewers of AfC in Wikipedia and I share the same view with @Theroadislong: who reviewed your submission. The content is not an article but a declaration of your views / thoughts. Secondly, Wikipedia reconigses the original creators of the articles but anyone can edits any Wikipedia pages under Wikipedia's guidelines and no editors (including the original creator of the page) own any content of any articles in Wikipedia. Most editors are volunteer and if you do not want to contribute for whatever reasons, you are feel free to do so.
The requirements for a subject to be merited a page in Wikipedia main space if the subject is notable, the content is verifiable by multiple, independent, reliable sources. I do suggest you to read Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything and WP:Your First Article to familiar yourself on how to write an article in Wikipedia. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 04:06, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I rejected the draft because it was only a proposal, if you would care to create an actual draft with correctly sourced content, then I will happily accept it. Theroadislong (talk) 07:40, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
