02:12, 17 April 2024 review of submission by Cdsweezy

edit

I'm writing up a page for a World War 1 army officer who served in France and later was a member of the city council in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Problem is there is very little online about the person of interest since he died in 1980. The wiki submission was denied for lack of sources.

He was my great grandfather so I have quite a bit of material about him. Lots of newspaper clippings from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, whom he wrote letters to during the War to keep the locals informed. I tried searching their archives for the clippings circa 1918, but no luck.

Any suggestions for how/where to find the original source, or how to properly cite the newspaper clippings? Cdsweezy (talk) 02:12, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cdsweezy: use {{cite news}} (you will need to use the source editor; Visual Editor screws templates up) and fill in the last1, first1, date, work, title, and page (or pages) parameters. This will provide the credited author, date the story was run, the paper it was run in, the article title/headline, and the pages it was on - the bare minimum required for an offline newspaper citation. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 02:31, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

how to resubmit 

Mani G 36 (talk) 03:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mani G 36: This draft has been rejected and will not be considered further. I will also take the liberty of assessing your sources:
Hope this helps. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 03:51, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mani G 36 Do not remove the rejection notices. I have re-added them. Qcne (talk) 07:04, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable enough أزهري١٢٣ (talk) 05:11, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@أزهري١٢٣: that's correct; hence why it has been rejected. Did you have a question you wanted to ask? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:32, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Guide me on how my Wikipedia creation for article can be accepted Aigbefoh justice (talk) 07:36, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aigbefoh justice I fixed your post to provide a link to your draft as intended. Your draft is poorly sourced. Three of the sources you provided are to Wikipedia; Wikipedia articles cannot be used to source other Wikipedia articles, see WP:CIRCULAR. The only other source you provide is a school website which just documents this person went to school there. Any article about this person needs to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about them, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. Please see Your First Article and use the new user tutorial to learn more about Wikipedia and what is being looked for in article content. Writing a new article is the most difficult task to perform here. 331dot (talk) 07:53, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello wikipedians I am hoping to get some help on what I may be able to do better or add to my submission. I recently sent it now for review and was denied. protoj (talk) 11:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Protoj: we need to see evidence that the subject is notable. This requires multiple secondary sources (newspapers, magazines, TV or radio programmes, books, etc.) that provide significant coverage (not just passing mentions) of it, and that are both reliable and entirely independent of the subject. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:28, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PS: I should probably add that the vast majority of schools are not notable, so don't be too disappointed if you can't find the necessary sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:29, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to create this article for the son of Sheikh Abdullah bin Khalifa Al Thani please help me in this manner Amiridiwan.qa (talk) 14:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Amiridiwan.qa there is no indication a child of an ex-Prime Minister merits a Wikipedia article at this time. Qcne (talk) 14:48, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You also added unsourced text to Abdullah_bin_Khalifa_Al_Thani, which I have now removed. Qcne (talk) 14:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Need an assistnace on this "This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia." issue. Jebondz (talk) 15:15, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jebondz if a person does not meet our notability threshold there can be no article. There is no indication that Muhammad Faizal Zainol meets this standard, therefore I have rejected the draft (twice) and it can not be an article at this time. Qcne (talk) 15:18, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To expand on that, I will assess the sources you cite. Refer to User:Jéské Couriano/Decode:
None of your sources are in any way usable. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 15:53, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

edit

We are Utop company. We got reject many times and my article be marked can not resubmit. Could you please help give a chance to allow us resolve the issues Stephen.akachain.io (talk) 17:33, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are obligated to disclose your employment. None of your sources are any good - we don't cite online storefronts, your first source has no byline (and reads like a press release regardless), and your second source has nothing to cite. The rejection seems proper; Wikipedia is not your billboard. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v Source assessment notes 18:13, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

23:19, 17 April 2024 review of submission by Keppard123

edit

I do not understand why my article was rejected (although I appreciate the fast response). I included footnotes for 5 reviews of the recording, and in the article I gave short excerpts of each one. 5 reviews is pretty good for a recording, and there are actually more that could be included. Keppard123 (talk) 23:19, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keppard123 I fixed your link for proper display. Please see referencing for beginners to learn more about how to format references. 331dot (talk) 23:32, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I appreciate it. Does that mean that the article is being accepted or do I have to come up with more references/reviews? Keppard123 (talk) 23:39, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You will need to resubmit it for it to be considered again, but the referencing style needs to be fixed first. 331dot (talk) 23:42, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
