03:10:41, 8 November 2019 review of draft by Tandy

edit


I tried to submit a page (about Karrie Karahalios, Full Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), but it looks like my page is still just a draft and has not been submitted. I am not sure what I need to do to submit it. It's been sitting there a few weeks. Any advice you can give would be helpful. Thanks! - Tandy Warnow Tandy (talk) 03:10, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

03:18:36, 8 November 2019 review of submission by Tandy

edit

I got a response to my earlier inquiry from Longhair (about the page I had written for Karrie Karahalios). I had declared the conflict of interest, based on both being in the same department. I thought that the declaration would allow Wikipedia to *evaluate* the suggested page on its merits. It seems, based on the response from Longhair, that perhaps Wikipedia will not even consider it, because of the conflict of interest? I am not sure how to interpret the response in some other way. If that is the answer, then I would respectfully request that Wikipedia write a page about Karrie Karahalios. By the way, she was just elected a Distinguished Member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), so she really *is* a distinguished researcher. In any event, some clear instruction would help. Tandy (talk) 03:18, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tandy. Editors are discouraged from creating articles about colleagues, but it is not forbidden. If you are going to do it despite being advised against it, then you are going about it in the right way - declaring your conflict of interest and putting the page through Articles for creation. To have Draft:Karrie Karahalios reviewed for publication, click the blue "Submit your draft for review!" button in the large grey box at the top of the draft. The review process is highly backlogged, so it may take 4-5 months. If it is declined, then consider asking at Requested articles that an uninvolved editor write a biography of her, identifying for them which criteria of WP:PROF she meets, and supplying sources that prove it. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:59, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Iamsrh, Wikipedia only has articles on notable companies. That means coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. Also, WIkipedia is not an ad platform. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 14:34, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]


11:19:58, 8 November 2019 review of draft by MayWiki1

edit


My article was rejected due to lack of resource ('Needs more references with significant in-depth coverage about the subject himself that are not primary sources.") and I've added additional sources but not sure what more is needed?

Thanks

MayWiki1 (talk) 11:19, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MayWiki1, The issue here is that the existing sources talk more about Barretts company, and very little about Barret. Clearly his company is notable, and has an article. But you need sources that focus on Barrett if he is to have his own article. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 14:35, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kul.khare (talk) 11:41, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kul.khare, There is only one source, which does not establish notability. You need several reliable and independent sources. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 14:32, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

edit


E-commerce platform is one on the requested articles on Wikipedia. And it is not a link farm to the sites you mentioned, I took the idea and concept from that site. Everyone doesn't know everything, so other sources are necessary for the article. Please review again.

Smitpshah17 (talk) 12:31, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Smitpshah17, Howdy hello! I personally agree with K.e.coffman. There is already an article on e commerce, which is somewhat lacking as is. If you wish, you might compress your article down to a section and add it to the existing article. While it may have been a requested article, not all requested articles are destined to become actual articles. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 14:31, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

16:32:19, 8 November 2019 review of submission by Omartaw

edit

I'd like to post this article about DJS (UK) Limited, from what I can see the sources were reliable and independent. Is there something that specifically needs referencing better? Omartaw (talk) 16:32, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Omartaw. The notability guidelines for companies explicitly exclude, as trivial coverage, inclusion in "best of", "top 100", "fastest growing" or similar lists. Mentioning such things and non-notable business awards and accolades makes the draft come across as highly promotional and rather desperate. Other cited sources lack significant coverage. The Independent, for example, only mentions PiggyBank in passing as the commissioner of a study.
Most businesses are not notable. You may find WP:BFAQ#COMPANY informative. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:29, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MadShelton (talk) 16:45, 8 November 2019 (UTC) I added more credible sources.[reply]

@MadShelton: This person is not notable as Wikipedia defines the term. Please read WP:NBIO. shoy (reactions) 19:19, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:49:49, 8 November 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by GreenLightDiode

edit


I am looking to see why my article was denied. I know I shouldn't base my argument on other articles but I see other players with their own article who are not as "notable" and haven't had as much press coverage. Is there any way I could get help making this distinction? I'd appreciate the help.

Thank you!

GreenLightDiode (talk) 17:49, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As indicated when it was denied, Baseball players are considered Notable if they have played in an MLB game. Johnny is still at single A. None of the accomplishments at TCU seem to give Notability on his own. I'm not saying he won't be notable in a few years, but right now, I don't see how he is.Naraht (talk) 18:41, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

edit

Hello there. I've done some changes to the article. Please let me know if I managed to resolve the conflict of interest. And regarding the "not sufficiently notable" what more is to be done?. Thank you very much! Cezar.vasiescu (talk) 17:59, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft has zero sources, notability is judged by looking at the depth of coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources, we have no interest in what the company says about itself.

There is nothing to indicate that it would pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) either. Theroadislong (talk) 18:28, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This may be a repeat of a submission i made yesterday but forgot to add the 4 tildes to my signature.

re Message: "This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Rudy Rotter, which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one."

Request: I am unaware of what or where the other submission in my name exists. This Sandbox version is the article i want to use to soon replace the currently existing published "Rudy Rotter" Wikipedia page. Can you please assist me in resolving this duplication and help to make the sandbox article the sole article of focus. Thanks.

The article already exists here Rudy Rotter you can improve it there, you don't need to create a draft for it. Theroadislong (talk) 19:54, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
