Wondering what more can I add to my wiki page to have it become active? Darrin.davis (talk) 01:17, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not the most active in terms of music related articles, however please don't spam random links onto the external links section Thehistorianisaac (talk) 04:08, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi,

Requesting assistance on this page which was live but then was flagged for notability issues/conflict of interest. The subject is notable in the international automotive space as CEO of Formula E and there are no conflicts of interest from my side on the subject. It's been resubmitted for review but wanted to get any guidance please. Thanks. Ryanh272025 (talk) 09:00, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ryanh272025: yes, this was briefly in the main article space, because you moved it there, presumably because you believe(d) the subject is notable. It was moved back to drafts by a new page patroller, whose assessment was that notability had not been shown.
I've not reviewed this draft so cannot comment on whether notability is there or not, but just to say that being the CEO of anything does not make a person notable (otherwise I would be notable, and I'm most assuredly not!).
Your draft has been submitted and will be reviewed once a reviewer gets around to it. It's not clear what assistance or guidance you require; if you have specific questions, you may ask those, otherwise I suggest you wait for the review to take place. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:11, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for the message. Fully understood on the reasoning that not everyone is worthy of a Wiki page of course, but I am pretty certain that the person in question does meet the requirements though. He's heavily featured in international sports media and his positioning is essentially head of Formula E. If there's actually any guidance I can get from anyone - even if it's guidance on just that it needs to be waited out now - that would be really appreciated. Thank you. Ryanh272025 (talk) 09:22, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You could improve the referencing and edit for neutral tone, puffery like this has no place in an encyclopaedia “As the company continued to thrive” “Under Dodds' leadership, Formula E has achieved record revenues’ “to work closely with elite golf professionals “ “elevating into chief marketing officer” “high-profile talent” “helped deliver major companies’ “continued to excel when it comes to sustainability”. Theroadislong (talk) 09:31, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thank you and noted. It's been resubmitted and should have eliminated the puffery for this now. I don't believe I'm able to check and amend after submitting for review but hopefully it's more or less there now. Thank you again for the feedback, it's appreciated. Ryanh272025 (talk) 09:34, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You can continue editing you have NOT eliminated any of the puffery yet? Theroadislong (talk) 09:41, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies the version which went through must have been an earlier and unsaved. This has been resubmitted again now with amends throughout. Thanks again for the feedback and hopefully this is there now. Ryanh272025 (talk) 10:48, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

> Subject: Request for manual review of draft article – Whom Shall I Blame, Father?

Hello,

I kindly request a manual review of my submitted draft article titled Whom Shall I Blame, Father?, which covers a socio-political novel by Algerian author Abdallah Madjidi.

The draft complies with Wikipedia’s notability, neutrality, and sourcing guidelines. It includes references from independent sources, a structured summary of the novel’s themes, style, and reception, as well as a properly formatted infobox.

Disclosure: I have a conflict of interest regarding the subject and have declared it on the draft’s talk page in accordance with the Conflict of interest policy.

You can find the draft here: Draft:Whom Shall I Blame, Father?

I appreciate your time and any feedback you may offer.

Best regards, User:عبدالله أحمد علي سال عبدالله أحمد علي سالم (talk) 11:42, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@عبدالله أحمد علي سالم: there is no draft titled Draft:Whom Shall I Blame, Father?. There is Draft:Who blame, Dad?, which has been reviewed twice, and is currently awaiting its third review.
When you say you're requesting a "manual review", manual as opposed to what? All our reviews are done manually, if by that you mean actual live reviewers. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:56, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

14:47, 28 May 2025 review of submission by Strongmann

[edit]

Hello, I've created this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Michel_Roccati Related to Michel Roccati, the first person in the World that walked again after a complete spinal cord injury. The submission has been declined because there aren't enough resources. But I have uploaded many official sources, from a Nature paper, Guiness world record and documentaries of BBC and Cnn... Could you help me to edit the page in order that comply to Wikipedia rules? Strongmann (talk) 14:47, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Strongmann: The reviewers are pointing at WP:BIO1E (though I would instead point to WP:BLP1E). To summarise, if a person is known solely for one incident or event and it isn't likely they'll become any higher-profile because of it, we err towards not having an article on them for the sake of their privacy. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 15:06, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sabawaragarado: at what point did this look to you like a viable encyclopaedia article? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:28, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

16:48, 28 May 2025 review of submission by Sam.S.Welch

[edit]

Hi, I'm creating my first Wikipedia web page. Have tried to figure out what I'm doing wrong and also read through the WP:BAND and Golden Rules web sites and looked through how to create references. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Very eager to make things right, but not sure how to. :) Cheers/Sam Sam.S.Welch (talk) 16:48, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sam.S.Welch: your draft cites only two sources, both primary, which cannot establish notability per WP:GNG. And as the draft is almost entirely unreferenced, even if there is a credible claim of notability per WP:BAND, there is no evidence of this. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:57, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @Sam.S.Welch. 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.

16:53, 28 May 2025 review of submission by 213.60.224.174

[edit]

Just a very quick question about this submission: examples and references of significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject have been added. There are many more such references and examples that can be further added. How many more should be added and what is missing from this submission (reliable sources or sources independent of the subject or something else)? 213.60.224.174 (talk) 16:53, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP, the general rule is three (see WP:THREE). Also, I suggest adding a note on the draft's talk page listing three to make it easier for reviewers. S0091 (talk) 18:18, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

19:33, 28 May 2025 review of submission by HarvResearch

[edit]

According to SafariScribe, "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified." In my opinion, the article has more than enough primary and secondary sources reliable sources so I don't understand SafariScribe's reasoning for declining the article. Can someone clarify for me? HarvResearch (talk) 19:33, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@HarvResearch off the bat, my.comics.org/comics.org is not a reliable source as it is user-generated and according to them contains a backlog of errors and it appears some of the sources are about Joe Simon, not his son Jim. For example, this NYT pieces makes no mention of Jim nor does it mention The Comic Book Makers yet is being used to support "Simon co-authored The Comic Book Makers, about the the Golden Age of the comic book industry". The Reception section appears to be solely about The Comic Book Makers, which is only one work and he co-authored with his father. Other sources also are about his father, not him, such as this popmatters article, where Jim is mentioned once and is his statement about his father. There's a lot work to do to clean it up as it not clear how Jim meets the notability criteria. S0091 (talk) 20:01, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Grand Comics Database (https://www.comics.org/) is recommended by Wikipedia as a reliable source. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/United States comics work group. I've seen the site referenced in other Wikipedia articles. So I am a bit confused here. Are you saying I should not use this database?
While the subject of the article is the son of Joe Simon, the subject is the known as the co-author of The Comic Book Makers and is credited as such. So I don't know why he is penalized if a source article credits his work on properties in which perhaps the referenced main figure is his father. Are you saying I should delete such sources?
As for notability, the subject appears to have make a number of accomplishments on his own in the area of comics--writing, editing, publishing, appearing on panels and in a documentary. Can you please let me know why the subject fails criteria for notability on his own?
Thank you. HarvResearch (talk) 22:50, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, @HarvResearch. His accomplishments, whatever they are, do not contribute to establishing that he meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability: they may well increase the likelihood that independent people have chosen to write about him, but you need to find those sources.
A Wikipedia article should be a summary of what several people who are completely unconnected with the subject have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable publications, and very little else: the notability criteria are mostly about ensuring that this is possible.
Most sources that contain enough about him to contribute to notability will be primarily about him: sources that are primarily about his father but say a little about him may be useful for verifying additional information about him, but probably won't help with notability.
Your use of the word "penalize" suggests that you have the idea that a Wikipedia article about Simon would in some way be for Simon's benefit. If you have this misapprehension, I suggest you read WP:PROUD. ColinFine (talk) 17:36, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You also need to address your possible conflict of interest as thus far all of your contributions are regarding Jim Simon. S0091 (talk) 20:12, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, I would appreciate any guidance on how to improve this draft to meet submission standards. If possible, could you please point out any specific areas that may need revision? Thank you for your time and feedback. 2600:1011:A122:42EF:24F8:93C3:D341:A920 (talk) 22:47, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Remember to log in when posting. If you are the creator, please disclose your connection with her(you took a very professional looking image of her) per WP:COI and WP:PAID.
The draft was rejected, typically meaning it won't be considered further. There is no indication she meets the definition of a notable musician or a notable creative professional. 331dot (talk) 23:11, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
