04:28, 15 May 2025 review of submission by Chamber Music Queen

[edit]

I am trying to be clear that the references are solid. He was a very well known musician with a big impact and career. Reference no.6 is from Time Magazine; and the other reference no.6 is from the Northwest Music Archives. Please let me know what I can do. THANKS! Chamber Music Queen (talk) 04:28, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Chamber Music Queen: I think you need to go through the citations and make sure they're correctly constructed. Eg. the first and last one probably have valid URLs within them, but they're oddly obscured by some chrome-extension prefix blurb. Source #5 is quite non-specific: it seems to be an archive, of some sort, but what in this draft, if anything, does it actually support? RE #7, Google Docs is not a source; the actual item you're citing apears to be a concert programme, so please cite it as such (you can possibly then show Google Docs as its online location). There may be issues with the other citations as well. (And please remove all inline external links from the text, of which there are currently several.)
Don't forget, Wikipedia articles should summarise what independent and reliable secondary sources have said about a subject. I get the feeling that here you've written what you know about the subject, and then tagged on some sources that may or may not support that.
Also please remember to disclose your conflict of interest separately and clearly for each subject in which you have one. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:10, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

05:18, 15 May 2025 review of submission by Thepasssurfer

[edit]

Hi, I’ve drafted a neutral article about a media brand with significant news coverage (7News, NBN, Daily Mail etc.). I’m connected to the subject and would appreciate a volunteer editor to review and consider submitting it. Thanks in advance! Thepasssurfer (talk) 05:18, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thepasssurfer You need the full title, including the "Draft:" portion, when linking. I fixed this.
You have already submitted the draft for a review and it is pending.
You will need to formally disclose your connection with the brand, see conflict of interest. If you are compensated by the brand in any manner for any reason, the Terms of Use require disclosure, see the paid editing policy. 331dot (talk) 08:28, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I decided to review and decline the draft, please see it or your user talk page for more information. 331dot (talk) 08:34, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

14:17, 15 May 2025 review of submission by 64.226.154.133

[edit]

How is this not relevant? 64.226.154.133 (talk) 14:17, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Almost nothing in the draft is sourced, and it reads like a resume, without any indication of what makes Mr. Spadaro a notable person as Wikipedia defines one. 331dot (talk) 14:19, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have made an article about a us veteran and it was claimed to be not good for inclusion. How do I make it easier for people to interact with? 64.226.154.133 (talk) 14:19, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not make a new thread for every post, just edit this existing thread. Not all military veterans merit Wikipedia articles. You need to summarize what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about him, showing how he is a notable person. 331dot (talk) 14:23, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

14:28, 15 May 2025 review of submission by HHSILVER

[edit]

Hi. There was a response that said my entry was written by a large language model and this is not the case. I am not sure what to do. The post is about a relevant and important issue in LA post fires and it's time sensitive and I would like to get it up and get it right. I am also having some technical issues with links and images. Appreciate your assitance. HHSILVER (talk) 14:28, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I advise you read WP:SOAP. Wikipedia is not the place for you to advertise or to host a moral crusade. The article has been nominated for deletion and likely will be removed. CoconutOctopus talk 15:06, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

15:54, 15 May 2025 review of submission by 142.127.155.80

[edit]

Hi there -- the reviewer asked two questions about sources when they declined the article. I can clarify the inclusion of both sources, but I can't seem figure out how to reply to the reviewer. 142.127.155.80 (talk) 15:54, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to respond here. Pinging @MediaKyle: so he will see the response. --bonadea contributions talk 15:57, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping. That draft did confuse me a little so I'm glad that you reached out, I looked up his name at the time and it seems like notability could be established but the sourcing threw me off. If you want to start a discussion at Draft talk:Robert Roy (Bob) Gardiner we can talk about it there, or if it's easier for you to answer here that's fine too. I can probably tidy the article up for you once I know where the sources are. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 16:03, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

16:17, 15 May 2025 review of submission by Kelvin snooper

[edit]

Why was my article was rejected, because every detail I included was true K.D.Muleya (talk) 16:17, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kelvin snooper You need the full title of the draft when linking, I've fixed this. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves, please read the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 16:24, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

16:24, 15 May 2025 review of submission by Clau

[edit]

Hi! I tried to improve my draft by adding some new sources/footnotes. Is the article rerady to be resubmitted? Also, I don't know how to add versions of this article in other languages (Belarussian, Russian, Polish) - is this possible only after this draft has been accepted for the main space? Clau (talk) 16:24, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clau We don't do pre-review reviews here, the best way to get feedback is to resubmit the draft.
You are free to create articles about this person on other projects, subject to their rules and policies. Every language Wikipedia is its own project. It could even be that this subject is acceptable on the other versions, but not here.(I don't know, I'm speaking hypothetically.) 331dot (talk) 16:28, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks! Clau (talk) 11:28, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

18:28, 15 May 2025 review of submission by Matthew John Drummond

[edit]

What else should I add to my Draft of Rocky Hollow. Matthew John Drummond (talk) 18:28, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rejection typically is the end of the line for a draft. If you can address the concerns of reviewers, the first step is to appeal to the rejecting reviewer directly. 331dot (talk) 18:34, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
IMO what would be needed are multi-paragraph reviews (that is, a person unconnected with the film, acting as a reviewer, gives their opinion and viewpoints) entirely about the film - that is, reviews from newspapers, published magazines, published books, and/or academic journal articles, and not from self-published websites or books. However I couldn't find any on Newspapers.com. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:21, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

23:59, 15 May 2025 review of submission by Rafaelthegreat

[edit]

please give an understandable essay about my draft, and give feedback as well Rafaelthegreat (talk) 23:59, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sources on regular elementary and middle schools that prove notability are not likely to exist (Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Schools states: "Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability usually get merged or redirected to the school district authority that operates them (generally the case in North America)[...]"). Notability would mean in-depth articles, from a nationally published magazine or newspaper or academic journal, discussing the school and its programs in depth. "David Thomas King School" should be a redirect to Edmonton Public Schools. If some Edmonton-area newspaper articles talk about the school in-depth, some of that information could be added to "Edmonton Public Schools" and/or the article on the Edmonton neighborhood the school resides in. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:49, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Rafaelthegreat, please don't post the same question multiple pages.
My earnest advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft. If you don't follow this advice but try to create an article without this preparation, you are likely to have a frustrating and disappointing experience with Wikipedia.
