01:33:19, 30 November 2018 review of draft by Casting Nasturtiums
- Casting Nasturtiums (talk · contribs) (TB)
Hi there,
Your help would be enormously appreciated. I'm trying to create a page for Andrew Anastasios, who's a scriptwriter who has been, and continues to be, involved in the creation of significant Australian film and TV productions as a creator, writer and producer. Amongst other professional credits, he co-created and co-wrote the highest grossing film in Australia in 2015 (The Water Diviner), which won the Australian equivalent of an Oscar, the AACTA best film award for 2015. He also co-created and wrote two Jack Irish series for ABC television, and wrote two other Jack Irish TV movies. Also, the novel he wrote for Pan Macmillan based on his script, The Water Diviner, sold 45,000 copies. In short, he does seem to qualify under the terms of the 'notability' Wikipedia parameters for creative professionals: "The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."
Clearly, I'm failing at the 'references' side of the equation! There's no shortage of independent reviews in the media of all the film and TV scripts Andrew has written - if I added those to the draft, would it satisfy your terms?
Thank you so much for your assistance. I really want to do this properly, but obviously need some help to get there! Casting Nasturtiums (talk) 01:33, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
- The problem you have is reliable sources rarely write about the script writer or other behind the scenes people. They write about the show and the actors. Therefore pages here on such behind the screens people are rare and hard to create with proper sources. Legacypac (talk) 06:13, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Legacypac: - would WP:AUTHOR criteria 3 not apply/be possible to apply here, instead of requiring purely directly applying sourcing? Nosebagbear (talk) 07:49, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, but in the case of a film or tv show there are lots of people on the creative side like producers, directors, writers etc. I passed a writer for a late night show once because he and his team won an Emmy for writing, so it is possible. Anyway, the topic is not offemsive or promotional so the submitter is welcome to move the page and see how it goes. If no one tries to delete, happy days.

We are trying to create Wikipedia page for few days the name of "Classic Marble Company" but unfortunately, this page was rejected again and again. So Please give me the advice on how to create or submit Wikipedia page. 183.87.142.97 (talk) 05:48, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
- Actioned "We" should not be doing anything at Wikipedia to promote a business. I'll action the page. Legacypac (talk) 06:09, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
- I will explain further what User:Legacypac means. The first person plural pronoun "we" should very seldom be used in Wikipedia. It should only ever be used in quotation. One user account belongs to one human being, not to a group or company. Being a shared account is in itself a violation of user account policy. So is marketing. If you are trying to publicize your company, use the money that you are wasting trying to put up a Wikipedia page in order to improve your web page. Your web page really does belong to you.

Request on 06:27:56, 30 November 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Millyk01
Looking for some assistance in an article I have been attempting to create - Helloworld Travel Limited. It keeps being rejected saying it is already in existence on Wiki, referring to Helloworld Travel. They may have similar names but are different. One is a publically listed company - asx listed entity - Helloworld Travel Limited, and one is the extensive Retail network of Australian and New Zealand travel agencies known as Helloworld Travel. Any advice appreciated, as both are credible and worthy of being on Wiki. Per Flight Centre, which has 4 wiki pages so far from what I can see, and also
Woolworths group and Woolworths supermarkets. Many thanks in advance --Millyk01 (talk) 06:27, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Request on 15:29:35, 30 November 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Uideyield
Hi, I made my first wikipedia posting few months ago and wish to clarify one factual issue related to its rejection. I don't care anymore at this point whether the draft gets rejected or not, but I wish to resolve one misunderstanding which was stated about the reason of rejection. I cannot accept reviewer's argument until this issue is clearly understood and accepted by the reviewer. A clarification is needed on the misunderstanding which the reviewer had on me as a writer. How do I prove that I have zero affiliation with the person I wrote about? Do I need to create a sandbox page about my identity? Why is the reviewer assuming that I must have prepared the article for the sake of commercial interest or promotional activities?
I have no idea how the reviewer could just pre-assume (without even asking the writer) that I have personal relations with the person I wrote about. This can even sound like a personal insult to a writer who attempted to prepare the article for the first time. I apologize if my citations were not good enough, but you cannot assume that I may have a personal relation with the person I wrote about. I don't even personally know him. Of course I don't work for the media company and there is no way he can pay me when he doesn't even know me. Besides, I am just an outsider who once took a course and studied Hallyu industry and someone who was curious about writing wikipedia article drafts and just wanted to give it a try through trials and errors. My personal goal was to increase English wikipedia pages for the existing Korean wikipedia pages. In that way, more English readers can have access to Asian wikipedia pages (perhaps if the English draft is available, then the English writers can also find ways together to fix the reference issue which Korean wikipedia articles hold).
All I tried to do was create an English version of his already-existing Korean wikipedia page. I do not get paid by anyone for this matter, and this is almost a personal insult to me when I have pure interest to contribute as a writer as well, but all I get is a pre-assumed comments filled with injustice.
I am not asking the reviewer to accept the draft because the draft already has a reference issue. I accept that the submission can be rejected if it's because of citation issues or because the person is "not notable", but I can never accept the reviewer's careless assumption about my purpose and intent of preparing the draft. I have no relation with a person I wrote about. I cannot emphasize enough that I want to know why the reviewer would pre-assume about something that isn't even true at all. What made him think that I must have written about someone I know or for commercial interest?
Please reconsider this issue; I want the reviewer to take back what he said and how he assumed about my personal intent of draft and I hope to cooperate in the most peaceful way and resolve this matter together. Thanks for reviewing and considering this message in advance.

- We get many many many paid spammers here submitting pages. The templated warning you got is not saying you have a Conflict of Interest, only that if you do you need to disclose. I would not have rejected the page on a prolific voice actor. He may well qualify for an article under WP:ENT. I can't read Korean so it is hard for me to evaluate for sure. That is why I passed over reviewing the page after moving it to Draft space. Please review WP:ENT and explain how subject meets the guideline of they do, preferably on the talkpage of the Draft so the explanation is saved with the page. Feel free to message me on my talkpage if you want me to take another look or have questions. Legacypac (talk) 19:40, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Which of the references were relevant to my article?
- Hi Coneil8. The only reference that addresses the topic directly is The Guardian. The other references may be useful for background information, but say nothing about the issue in Africa.

Hey dear AfC-Team,
I filed a request a couple of weeks ago on the above mentioned article that was declined by a reviewer who has been banned since then and who I could not contact for further information due to that. So far I have not gotten a response to said request so I hope it is okay to give it another try. I'll quote my original request here:
"Hi there,
I recently tried to create this article on a piece of software on behalf of the company I'm working for. I created an article for both the German and English Wikipedia using mostly the same sources (unless there was a more useful source exclusive to either language). The German article was accepted without a problem while it did not pass review here. By now I know that the different Wikipedias operate quite differently, but I'd still like to know how specifically I can improve the draft so I can re-submit it at some point. Sadly I cannot contact the person responsible for the review since they have since then been blocked due to sock puppetry. Maybe somebody here can help me. Thanks a lot in advance!
best,
Dominik"

Have started this biography. I've chosen not too get into the full biog as I'd like the community to take it and "run with it" so to speak. There are specialists in this area, so rather than make a hash of the biog and then have someone correct it, I feel a fleshing out of the biog should come from the community. Hence, my submission is not the entire lifespan of the person.

The reviewer said "none of he sources cover Anna in detail" but the first source is her biography. Which states that she's an artist that appeared on America's Got Talent, was a Vine personality, and it also signed to a record label. The interview source discusses her mental health, which although is a primary source, other secondary sources included have also discussed her mental health. The interview article simply shows her commitment to bringing awareness to it. Sources on HuffPost, Mashable, and Hollywood Reporter verify her participation on America's Got Talent as well as her influence on Vine. These sources are independent and reliable, and they aren't press releases or some form of advertising. She is in the process of releasing an album on a major indie label, that has many notable artists signed under them. She is worth a wikipedia article because she fits the criteria.

}}Template:Wells Town F.C Hi Wiki users,
I'm currently creating a wiki page for a local football team where I live close to. My page has been reviewed and has come back as unable to publish due to not enough valid references (Which is understandable).
After some thorough research through the internet trying to find some valuable sources relating to Wells Town, it has come to my conclusion that there just isn't any relatable resources for them. (Not to get mixed up with Wells City FC - Two completely different clubs!) Wells Town FC has only recently started using social media for live score updates and future fixtures in the last 2 years. I have linked both their facebook page and twitter page to the wiki article. I can't seem to find any history of the Club apart from archives they have at the ground.
Can anyone please shed a little bit more light as to what I can do to improve my page?
Thanks, Candyman0120.
Candyman0120 (talk) 22:01, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
- Not notable Your search for sources proves the page can't pass our notability guidelines. I suggest working on editing and improving existing topics that interest you before trying again to create a page from scratch. New pages are not that easy - you need to find notable verifiable topic not covered in the over 5 million existing pages and that is not easy. Legacypac (talk) 08:01, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

History about chatbots is very essential as people are still confused as to what chatbots really are. Although the page "chatbots" exists it speaks about chatbots as a whole. The page I created shows that chatbots were simple and later on, with companies like Google and apple realized its potential, it is being integrated into various applications. I agree, the content might be less, however, people will continue to add more in time. THere are so many chatbots being developed which also need to be included here. This page should summarize the entire history of popular chatbots for easy viewing

I would like to confirm that Books indexed in Google referencing the subject, Kelly (Mohre) Hyman, can support notability please. Josephintechnicolor (talk) 08:52, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Josephintechnicolor. The first three books do nothing to establish notability. They are passing mentions in a cast list. I have not evaluated Young and the Restless: Most Memorable Moments, but even if it contains significant coverage of Hyman (think a chapter, or a few pages, or at least several meaty paragraphs), it would not be enough on its own to establish notability. Novice editors are commonly advised to cite at least three independent, reliable, secondary sources that contain significant coverage of the topic. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:11, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

I developed this page relating to my favourite sport of speedway prior anyone else on Wikipedia and and in previous seasons I will update this page regularly with the correct information.
Today, I noticed that because this page was put into draft space someone else has started a page on Wikipedia for the same subject although their page is inferior to the one that I'm creating. I do not think that this is far and reasonable.
Can I please edit that page and place my code over the inferior 2019 SGB Championship to something that looks much better on Wikipedia.

I have never done this, but Mulryan/Nash created a whole category of advertising, and I thought that it had some relevance. Thanks for your assistance. I have no idea what I am doing, but I am doing it anyway. Thanks, Dave Mulryan

- Hi Dave Mulryan. Don't write about yourself, your family, friends, or company. See WP:BFAQ#COMPANY and Wikipedia:Autobiography for further explanation of why. If you're interested in improving Wikipedia, we have millions of articles on topics to which you aren't closely connected. See Wikipedia:Community portal for ways to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:34, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
Request on 14:13:55, 4 December 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Fs2458
Hello. This is my first attempt at getting a page listed on Wikipedia. I'm not sure what other references to list or how to do so. Can you help with some direction?
Fs2458 (talk) 14:13, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Fs2458. Writing a new article from scratch is one of the most frustrating and time consuming things a novice editor can attempt. Wikipedia:Your first article explains how to do it, including an entire "Gathering references" section, but there are a million easier and more rewarding ways to improve Wikipedia than writing entirely new articles. Explore Wikipedia:Community portal for ideas about how to help. After editing existing articles for a few weeks or months you'll have a much better grasp of what it takes to write a new article. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:25, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
16:09:27, 4 December 2018 review of submission by Ecoarts1
hello, my first article was accepted but then I noticed one comment declaring the article needed to be rewritten. Which is it?
Ecoarts1 (talk) 16:09, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Ecoarts1. The original acceptance was overturned, and the page returned to Draft:Ray Lorenzato. Three major problems were identified:
- Nearly every source cited is a primary source. Wikipedia articles should be based mainly on secondary sources. This is one of the differences between academic writing and writing for an encyclopedia.
- Inline citations are missing from material that requires them. Material for which a reliable, published source cannot be cited should be removed. An incomplete biography is fine; an unverifiable one is unacceptable.
- The reviewer also felt the "tone is also incredibly promotional". To address this, be sure to use independent sources and follow the guidance in Wikipedia:Encyclopedic style, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms. Stick to verifiable events and don't state reasons for them in Wikipedia's voice ("His passion for learning and teaching led him to take a year-long sabbatical", for example, is unacceptable).

- Hi Sampf. To submit it for review, click the blue "Resubmit" button in the pink box at the top of the draft. Before you do so, note that the issues raised in the March 2017 review have not been adequately addressed. The five inline citations (one of which is to Wikipedia, which is not a reliable source) support, at best, 15% of the draft. If you can't cite a reliable published source for something, remove it. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:47, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, my draft was rejected and I don´t understand why. Can you explain to me what was the problem?
Peteri1994 (talk) 18:40, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
- The rejection was unclear. The real problem is that this subject already exists at Ronnie_O'Sullivan#2018/2019_season No other season has a standalone page. If you feel strongly the current year needs an exception, take that up on the playsr article talk page. Legacypac (talk) 23:23, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

22:45:05, 4 December 2018 review of draft by NadyaK96
Hello, Can you help me how to improve the article submission? I recently published a page under a name "Exclusive PR Solutions" and it was declined. The reason provided was that the submission appeared to be more like an advertisement and that the submission's references do not quality for Wikipedia article. Could you please elaborate on this problem? In my sources, I only cited independent news articles and I never referred to the company's website, so I was really confused when I received a decline. Also, I don't understand why the text is not neutral as I never called an audience to use the services of this company and only used information found in the news articles and press releases. I have no paid interest in the subject
Thank you very much for your help. NadyaK96 (talk) 22:45, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia NadyaK96 (talk) 22:45, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
- Actioned the reviewer errored in not seeking speedy deletion of your promotional page. I've fixed that. Sourced to PR and indiscriminate business directories. Legacypac (talk) 23:17, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, I was hoping to get some more info on why this draft was rejected and how it fix it. It is a publicly-traded company worth billions of dollars and has 23 sources from major media publications that are about the business (including publicly-verifiable metrics), so I'm not clear on how it doesn't meet the notability standards.

Hi, I'm a first time publisher on Wikipedia,
I would like some advice on why people reviewing my attempt do not find my subject matter 'Cat Mantra' to be notable.
This man has now released FOUR albums in total with the Ants of Adam and The Ants fame. That's one more than Adam Ant himself did!
He has been signed to Orchard/Sony BMG since 2004 and also became a published literary author in 2016.
HELP!
Many thanks,
Harv Matthews.

Hi, my article was just rejected. It's normal it was a mess. I have no idea about all this technical stuff. I can translate articles for you perfectly but as for the technical, I have no idea. If someone wants to assist with the technical and I will simply take care of the translation, then I would be happy to continue helping Wikapedia. ??

I received a decline based on copyright related to Spirit2Spirit. We will be working collaboratively and so I directly quoted their definition of "message Music," and statements made by Denny Jenkins from a radio interview. Once declined, I deleted all references and mentioned his organization in my own words and the resubmitted the article. I am hopeful that will remove any infringement issues. drwellness1Drwellness1 (talk) 04:31, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

My article was deleted based on copyright infringment. I am working collaboratively with Denny Jenkins whom I mentioned in the article and offered direct quotes from him. I referenced his work and cited the reference, so am not sure why it was deleted. I removed all direct quotes and references and replaced it with a comment in my own words. I am hopeful these changes with save the article from deletion. drwellness1

My article was deleted due to copyright infringement. I am working collaboratively with Spirit2Spirit and Denny Jenkins and when citing quotes or information I referenced him and dated the reference accurately. I am not sure why these were inappropriate, but I removed all of these references and only mentioned his work in my own words. Will these changes prevent my article from being deleted, and allow me to have another review? drwellness1Drwellness1 (talk) 04:52, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

- Actioned, to borrow a phrase from Legacypac. You can't just copy-and-paste website content into your article -- it has to all be in your own words, barring things quoted and cited inline. The article is being considered under {{db-copyvio}} and {{db-advert}}. programmingGeek(talk, contribs) 05:00, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
