07:33, 31 May 2025 review of submission by 103.188.136.190

[edit]

Dear Sir, Will you please tell us the rejection issue? or do you have any advise for complience? 103.188.136.190 (talk) 07:33, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is just pure self-promotion. My advice is not to attempt to publish this type of content. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:51, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I find this reason for rejection highly unprofessional and deeply biased. By your logic, every Wikipedia entry could be considered a form of self-promotional advertising. May I ask whether you actually read the content I cited? Yhhwz (talk) 16:40, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello I raised a question on 13th April, at 17:35, which 331dot responded to. Unfortunately, I only recently saw this response. I've added a reply, but I'm not sure if it will be seen now. I can post a new question if necessary, but I'm hoping someone can respond to the thread from 13th April. Thanks, Andy. PawsFC-GM (talk) 13:54, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

PawsFC-GM You need the "Draft:" portion of the title when linking.

Hello
Thanks for your comments last month, and apologies for the delay in replying.
My username doesn't relate to an organisation. I'm just an individual, and this is the only article I will be producing.
I've removed various statements where I couldn't provide a citation. Some statements in the 'Early Life' and 'Personal Life' sections are not cited, but I think these are statements where citation wouldn't be expected or necessary. Please advise if this is not the case.
The article still has a citation to the retailer 'Pineapple Retro.' I'm not sure if this is suitable as a source or if the statement should be removed.
Can you confirm if the citation links to the British Library and National Library of Scotland are the most suitable links for the various books? Ideally, I'd have ISBNs, but these are 1960s books and predate them.
Thanks for your help,
Andy. PawsFC-GM (talk) 19:17, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Every fact that could potentially be challenged shouod have a source. Where did you get your information? 331dot (talk) 19:52, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

pls allow this i need this for school project Kapsicum (talk) 14:35, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Kapsicum. I'm sorry that you apparently need for a school project something which, at present, you seem to be completely incapable of doing. I suggest you show this reply to whoever you are doing this project for, and ask them to read WP:Education program/Educators
Creating a new article is much more difficult, especially for new editors, than people often think. 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.
A Wikipedia article should be a neutral summary of what several people unconnected with the subject have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable publications, and very little else. Unless there is published material about your subject, it is impossible to have a Wikipedia article about it. ColinFine (talk) 14:51, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

15:00, 31 May 2025 review of submission by Legend of 14

[edit]

My decline reason is very vague, and not sufficient for me to actually improve the article. My draft was declined because my 6 sources don't meet at least of 4 factors, but the specific factor was not explained, and at least 5 of them seem to meet all 4 factors. Legend of 14 (talk) 15:00, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Legend of 14 I am asking ToadetteEdit (by ping) to have a chat to you to ex[lain what was un their mind. It may be a good idea to engage them pre-emptively on their user talk page? 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 15:58, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, I am trying to publish my new Inclusive Cowboy Flag, but have some questions about the comments received from the Reviewer.

I actually created everything from scratch; everything as far as the design, symbolism, etc. I based my design on an older flag in Mexico. I know the creators of that flag as well.

Could you point me in the right direction as to what needs to be modified, specifically?

I have already submitted a request for publication at the local newspaper and the Pride Committee.

June is Pride month and I sort of rushed to have all the designs and information about it ready.

Thank you, again, for your kind consideration.

Regards,

Hi Giovanni/@IMawro25, Wikipedia is not the place to be expending your efforts just yet - articles need to be supported by independent, reliable secondary sources, such as newspaper or magazine articles, books, and so on. Once these independent sources have noticed your flag and written about it, that would be when you could consider writing a Wikipedia draft - or even better, if it's really notable, someone else is likely to write the article instead. For the moment, all you can do is wait for the flag to become notable. I hope that helps explain the situation! Meadowlark (talk) 13:52, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I attempted to submit an article about this subject following all guidelines with notable references. Seems above board to me. What else is needed here? Frogdad1982 (talk) 23:47, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An interview does not establish notability, as that is not an independent source- it's the person speaking about themselves. The other source only documents the showing of the film. 331dot (talk) 23:51, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. I'm going to simplify this to just establish this person as the director of the film, nothing more. Frogdad1982 (talk) 23:59, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
