Hi, Is it possible to know why the article for korure on Wikipedia has been rejected? I would like to make the recommended changes and republish the article. Thank you

Mithun Pookat (talk) 01:55, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mithun Pookat. The reviewer's comment, below the big pink box on the draft, links to the relevant guideline, WP:NCOMPANY. Most businesses are not suitable topics for an encyclopedia article. Rejection is intended to be final, to convey that the subject is not notable, so no amount of editing will make the draft publishable. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:10, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting re-review because there was a reference missing from the article.

Hi Jimbob2019. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of the topic. The draft still has zero. Rejection is intended to convey that not only is the draft in its current state unacceptable, but no amount of editing will make it acceptable - that the topic is hopeless. See Wikipedia:A primer for newcomers#Picking a topic, particularly the "Pick something notable" subsection. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:22, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Our page has been waiting for a review for quite a few months https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Bread_Charity#Bread_Charity

@M8ms2: What do you mean by "our"? Only one person should use an account per WP:ROLE. JTP (talk • contribs) 05:06, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I own a Buti watch long time now. I have learned after extensive research that there is not a compiled set of information about what the watch company offered while in business. The company does not exist anymore, and they do not make any more watches. This is not an attempt to market the brand, I am trying to give a set of information as much as possible for the people that are trying to find out more about the former watch making company and what they were offering. If I need to write it some other way, let me know, this is the first time I am attempting to write an article :). I base all my info on articles from watch resellers, chrono24.com and other online found information from people that have worked in a watch store, like myself.

Help me out so I can put useful information out there.



Mc olteanu (talk) 08:02, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mc olteanu. Creating a new article is one of the most difficult, time consuming, and frustrating tasks a novice editor can attempt. It requires a thorough understanding of what is and isn't a reliable source. Blogs, internet forums, and Facebook, for example, are generally not reliable sources. A better place to look for information would be books from reputable publishers. Original research is not allowed. Also, being true and useful does not mean something is a suitable topic for an encyclopedia (although those are good properties for an encyclopedia entry to have). Instead, Wikipedia uses notability to determine whether a topic should be included.
There are millions of easier ways to improve the encyclopedia. See Wikipedia:Community portal for ways to help. If you are interested particularly in watches, you may wish to try to rejuvenate Wikipedia:WikiProject Watches. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:48, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to find my Submission that went in for Review in Mid-April, 2019.

SwanCom707 (talk) 10:44, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SwanCom707. Draft:Makeda Antoine-Cambridge has been in the pool to be reviewed for 8 weeks. The current backlog is approaching 16 weeks.

hi. I am trying to create an article about the youngest member of thirakwwa lineage in hindustani classical music. i do not have any conflict of interest since its my dedication to their music form that urges me to create its presence worldwide. however im uncertain as to why it has not been approved yet. i understand that the AFC may take more than 8 weeks. since i have just recently started contributing to wiki im considering this article as my learning project as well. to my knowledge i have been very particular about the guidelines. also have taken an email from the respective musician for using the images and other copyright content. if possible i need some first hand education on what happens to the draft now and how may i get it live on wiki.

This is my first time creating a wikipedia article, this was done for a class project assignment, hence the reason why it read like an essay as that is exactly what it was. However, It would be great to be able to publish a wikipedia article and to have the knowledge and understand fully what is involved in publishing wikipedia articles so that I would be better equipped to publish or edit other articles.

Hi I'm not too sure what the problem is with a page I created "Norman Nicholson Society" can someone assist.

Regards Devokewater (talk) 15:09, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Devokewater You have not submitted the draft for review, but before you do, you need to find multiple reliable sources that discuss the subject in-depth. Their own website is of little help in establishing notability. Theroadislong (talk) 16:16, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I received feedback saying my article read like an advertisement and did not have a variety of sources, and I cannot figure out why. I compared it to similar pages and couldn't spot any differences.

What do I need to change?Skylark0007 (talk) 20:23, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
