Hello, I am Kaizen. I am requesting help because I have inputted the wrong description of the author the moment I submitted the draft: Zowey Rens. Is it still possible to change the 2-5 words description from "An Aspiring Author" to "A Filipino Author" instead?
Thank you.

I don't understand why my submission was declined on 19 May 2022 by Robertsky, with him saying: The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes.
My page is short but it has 19 footnotes. How many would be necessary? Or is there a part of the article that lacks them, like the table of works? Please explain a little. Thanks!
Michael J. Simon (talk) 22:14, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- @MikieSimon: WP:BLP articles have much stricter requirements over the need to be as accurate and verifiable as possible for privacy and libel reasons (among others, I'm sure). This means that nearly every claim should have an in-line citation supporting it, and it isn't the overall number of citations that matter. As an example, the entire first line is unreferenced. A reference is required to show that the subject's birthdate and birthplace have been published somewhere. Similarly, the "Early life and education" section is unreferenced. Some of the references you have provided may be used to verify these claims, but they should be cited multiple times for each claim on BLP articles. Hope that helps. -2pou (talk) 22:55, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

This is a page about a major party candidate for the United State Senate in Colorado who just won and election and received 319,315 votes. The candidate he beat Ron Hanks has a wikipedia page so I don't understand why Joe shouldn't have a page. You can google Joe O'Dea so many sources.
Artedm (talk) 03:12, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Artedm: candidates aren't inherently notable, and winning a primary means you're still only a candidate. If this person one day becomes elected to a state or national position, then they become notable per WP:NPOL; until such time they have to meet WP:GNG. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:12, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Artedm (talk) 15:11, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- Artedm There are very rare occasions where a mere candidate might merit an article, such as Christine O'Donnell, but the overwhelming majority of candidates do not, certainly not for state office.

- He hasn't won a statewide election. He won his primary. Primary winners are by definition still candidates since that's what primaries are for- to select candidates. If he wins the general election, he will be notable. To merit an article before that point, he needs to be notable for something else. 331dot (talk) 08:20, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I tried to submit a draft for review and it failed due to lack of reference, I didn't have any reference because the draft I was writing was about a school and the school isn't popular enough to have reference. Please I need help what should I do FreddyWitDa$tacks (talk) 05:05, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- @FreddyWitDa$tacks: even if schools were inherently notable (which they aren't), you would still need to cite reliable published sources to verify that this school actually exists, and that the information you state is correct. And in order to show that it is notable, you also need several of those sources to be secondary, and independent of the subject, such as newspapers, books or TV programmes. Without such sources, it isn't possible to publish an article on this school. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:18, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

- Draft:News Literacy Project ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Hi, editors on the help desk! I need help.
I have been trying to submit an article about the News Literacy Project for close to two years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:News_Literacy_Project. I have adopted the guidance of the various reviewers who have made comments.
I don't know what else I can do and would appreciate specific information that I can incorporate to get this accepted. The misinformation/disinformation plague is one of the most serious issues of our time, and NLP is doing stellar work to combat it.
With thanks, bluepencil (Before I retired, I was an editor at a number of well-known news organizations, including the Los Angeles Times and Bloomberg. I am fully aware of the importance of neutrality and aim for that in my writing.) Bluepencil13 (talk) 20:09, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
Bluepencil13 (talk) 20:09, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Bluepencil13: the aim is merely to describe the subject, not promote it. The initiative in question may be eminent and engaged in many worthwhile pursuits, but the article must not portray it in such terms. As just one example, in the 'NLP board' section (which, incidentally, is entirely unreferenced), directors are said to have "extensive backgrounds in journalism" etc. — there is no need for the "extensive", which is a PEACOCK word; just "backgrounds in journalism" will do. Try to imagine yourself as someone who is against the NLP, or perhaps is a competitor to them, and go through the draft taking out all the puffery and other content that they wouldn't like to see there. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:41, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

I am trying to crate an article regarding one of the very first Dominicans elected to public office in the country. So far I was only able to get the barest information I could based on safe assumptions. Are there any reliable places where I can get bios of people to use for sources?
GrayEquinox951 (talk) 17:38, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @GrayEquinox951 likely not a full biography. To create any article, you must look for multiple sources then summarize what those sources say about the subject. I did a quick Google News search and there is a New York Times article that has some information but more will needed to establish notability for politicians.

My article I was creating for Mark Younger-Smith is cited as not having enough sources. I do feel I submitted a sufficient amount of information in comparison to several other artists similar to him.

Mark is currently touring the US with his band The Broken Things and opening for The Cult. Thank you.

- @Rockandrollin85: We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Each claim in the article that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to an in-depth, non-routine, independent article or book authored by an identifiable person and subjected to professional editorial oversight that fact-checks, discloses, corrects, and retracts that can corroborate the claim. If no such sources exist for a given claim, it must be removed wholesale.

- @Liselotte-Ufulu: it is promotional, with little or no encyclopaedic content. Not to mention that it is almost entirely unreferenced, and the two sources cited (one gov't website, the other an interview) do not contribute towards notability at all. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:45, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Liselotte-Ufulu (ec) I've fixed your draft link for proper display. You and your company seem to have a common misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is. It is not a place for businesses to tell the world about themselves and what they do. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the business, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable business. We don't want to know what the company says about itself, or to merely have a list of the projects the company has been involved in, but sources that discuss on their own(and not prompted by, or based on materials from, the company) the significance or influence of the company in its field. You have two sources in your draft, and those sources do not seem to have significant coverage of your company- and most of the rest of the draft is unsourced. Unless you have at least three independent reliable sources with significant coverage of your company, your company has given you an impossible task. 331dot (talk) 08:50, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Mickduncan1968 (talk) 11:32, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Mickduncan1968: the short answer is — you cannot get around it. All sources must be published; private correspondence, closed archives, etc. are not acceptable, because they cannot be verified by others. In any case, you shouldn't be basing the article on what the current postholder is telling you, but rather summarising what reliable and independent secondary sources have said about the subject. Without such sources, you cannot by definition have an article on this subject on Wikipedia. Or, put slightly differently, the article can only contain information which can be supported by such sources. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:40, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello,
I'm new in the Wikipedia World. I made my first contribution only a few weeks ago by publishing an article on the French Wikipedia about a paleontologist (François Escuillié). The draft that I submit to you today is the translated version of this article. I kept the same plan, the same layout, the same sources. I noticed however that there could be differences in the wikicode between the French versions and the English versions of the Wikipedia articles. So I wanted to know if there was no problem with this draft and if it was eligible for admissibility.

- Hi @CoraLacoire: you're effectively asking for someone to review this article, and that will happen one day when a reviewer gets around to it. But very briefly, some of the content isn't supported by referencing. Also, it's not immediately obvious what makes this person notable in Wikipedia terms. You might also prune that list of publications, as Wikipedia isn't meant to be a comprehensive catalogue of someone's entire output (not that this would be a reason to decline the draft, but still).

Moving of Draft:Summoner Wars
I've moved Summoner Wars to the mainspace. I am not an AfC reviewer, so it displayed that the draft wasn't reviewed, but IMO the draft satisfies GNG. This article is probably the second part for here, but IMO it meets the first line: move the template because the article was moved into article space by a non-reviewer, but should be in article space (i.e. it is an acceptable page)
, so I removed the template. Please let me know if I have accidentally made a mistake, if I moved the article improperly, could you please ping me and move it back to the draftspace? Apologies for any potential inconvenience, many thanks! VickKiang (talk) 03:28, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, the reviewer for this draft suggested that the sources do not meet WP:ORGCRIT however I believe most of them can be counted towards WP:GNG. Can someone show me how they cannot be counted? Thanks.
0xDeadbeef 04:43, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- 0xDeadbeef You should ask the reviewer directly to be certain, but from what I see the sources are little more than promotional pieces for the alliance, they don't have significant coverage which is required. 331dot (talk) 08:47, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

16:04:03, 5 July 2022 review of submission by Rowby
As you will see the Reviewer of this article correctly indicated that " Numerous unsourced statements throughout the article"
I assume this was because in the initial paragraphs "Early Life" "Marriage" and "Acting Career" I did not cite specific sources for those items. After your review I will rewrite those sections and only include items where I have specific sources. (Actually I thought I did that, but clearly I did not.)
In the "Television Credits" and "Television Movies and Feature Films" I cite sources for many -- but not all -- of those items. I would appreciate if you would help me to confirm that my Sources that I DID include are okay in these two sessions.
Rowby (talk) 16:04, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Rowby: They MUST be cited within the prose as well. Every claim that could potentially be challenged MUST be sourced. (If Burton is dead, the article does not make any sort of claim of that sort, and so we have to proceed as if he were still alive barring a source that confirms he is dead.) —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 19:14, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Rowby: I should also note that IMDb is not an acceptable source under any circumstance (no editorial oversight), and TCM's website is also a useless source (too sparse). Lastly, we do not consider having appeared in a film or show to be something that requires a cite so long as the subject has been properly credited under their name (i.e. a source is required if they went uncredited or took an Alan Smithee-style credit). —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 19:18, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Dofawi (talk) 16:12, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
I am requesting a re-review of this article because the basis of the rejection is incorrect. The majority of references provided are not from the perspective of the company, AgAmerica Lending, but are company spotlights from third-party verified sources. The article also includes both pros and cons of the company and all information is directly from sources. All potentially biased verbiage has been removed so I am requesting either approval of this Wikipedia page or more specific and accurate reasoning as to why it has not been approved in order to make necessary revisions. Thank you!
- I agree with the editor who rejected it - it lacks any independent reliable sources and it's WP:CORPSPAM. In addition, I'd encourage the creator to respond to the paid editing inquiry on their talk page. PRAXIDICAE🌈 16:34, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello,
I've put up 2 articles that have been both rejected. Both wanted more reliable sources, and I was wondering what the problem of the used sources would be. Would it be not reliable because it's in Korean? Or would it be because there are news articles?
Also, one of the article suggests that it should have a more neutral point of view. Could you be able to provide some examples from the article where it would not be neutral?
Thanks in advance.
- We are not interested in a rerun of the Seigenthaler incident. Every claim made about a living or recently-departed person that could potentially be challenged for any reason what-so-ever MUST be cited to an in-depth, non-routine, independent source written by an identifiable author and subjected to competent editorial processes that corroborates the claim or (if no such sources can be found) removed entirely. This is a hard requirement when writing about living or recently-departed people on Wikipedia and is NOT NEGOTIABLE. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 19:23, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
Request on 17:12:17, 5 July 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Hyerisuh
Hello,
I have submitted two articles that have been rejected.
A common reason for rejection is that they do not provide reliable sources. Could you be able to specify on why the sources aren't reliable? Is it because: - The resources are in Korean? - They include news articles? - Not enough resources in the article?
Also, one of the feedback was that it was not written in a neutral point of view. Could you be able to provide an example from the article?
Lastly, I saw articles that I wrote published on wiki-ish pages. I have not submitted them on there, and Wikipedia is the only place I submitted. Would you know why the rejected articles are on those pages? They are wikitia and everybodywiki (Links have been blacklisted.
Thanks in advance.

- Hyerisuh Sources are not required to be in English. There are many websites that copy or mirror Wikipedia, including drafts and deleted pages. This is fine as long as attribution is provided per Wikipedia's license. 331dot (talk) 17:17, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Your draft was declined, not rejected. Rejected means resubmission is not possible. Declined means it is. 331dot (talk) 17:19, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hyerisuh I'm going to recommend that you not include any unsourced information. If you only include info that is sourced, it will be easier to accept the draft. Also, the long list of books is problematic. If you can find reviews of a few, and use them to source the book, the article will be better. Lastly, as pointed out above, you can use Korean sources, but we'll need to translate them to determine if they provide sufficient coverage. Can you post the link to the three best sources, so we can review? TechnoTalk (talk) 19:42, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
19:04:01, 5 July 2022 review of draft by DrDaveD
I changed a reference and added a few more. Is it OK now?
There are a few primary sources from the project, but the first 3 are in the software description box so it makes sense for them to be there, and the Techical Charter link is the only place where the new governance structure is really described so I don't think there's another good reference. I believe the other references are all secondary sources, and the Linux Foundation is certainly a reliable source with a very good reputation.
This is the continuation of a previously accepted page Singularity_(software). The community decided not to rename the existing page because of the existence of another project that shares the history, so we need a new page under the new name. The project is very widely used.
DrDaveD (talk) 19:04, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- @DrDaveD: I'm going to recommend that you add this as a section to Singularity_(software), while continuing to work on the draft. Also include a section about SingularityCE. The sourcing requirements are not as high to add info to existing articles. TechnoTalk (talk) 19:21, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion, and it is a possibility, but I'm afraid that it would be misleading because that's no longer any project's name. As it stands now the Singularity page is labeled as being about the project up until the name change, and that is a nice clean, neutral way to define it. I originally changed the Singularity page to point to both Apptainer and SingularityCE new pages, but people on the SingularityCE project said they wanted to wait a year before they created a page, that's why it now just refers to their own web page.

- Devorx You don't ask a question, but your draft was rejected, meaning that it will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 23:05, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Devorx: You absolutely cannot just leave a laundry list of sources in the footer of biographies; you need to properly cite them. Fortunately for you, I have plenty of time and plenty of music, and so I will assess your sources to see if they're even worth citing to begin with:
- We can't use https://www.hindustantimes.com/brand-stories/dhruv-kapoor-appointed-as-amember-of-the-telephone-advisory-committee-101652880877491.html (unknown provenance). Role byline. Article also has an explicit disclaimer in the footer that explicitly states that HT's editors did not have any involvement in this piece's publication.
- https://www.outlookindia.com/outlook-spotlight/dhruv-kapoor-appointed-as-a-member-of-the-telephone-advisory-committee-in-ministry-of-communications-government-of-india-news-197022 has been discussed and dismissed; it's a carbon-copy of the source above minus the title and blurb.

- https://news24online.com/news/tech/dhruv-kapoor-appointed-membertelephone-advisory-committee-ministry-communications-ccf60096/ is 404-compliant, but based on that URL I have to assume it's another copy of the Hindustan Times piece above.
- I cannot assess https://www.bhaskar.com/local/uttar-pradesh/aligarh/atrauli/news/theministry-of-telecommunications-government-of-india-has-appointed-socialworker-dhruv-kapoor-for-two-years-129823102.html (language barrier); I do not trust automated translations of most South or East Asian languages as they tend to return word salad just as often as they return something legible and logical. Get someone who reads the language to assess this.

This is the part where I stop being irritated and start getting legitimately angry. Who were you expecting to fool with sourcing this hideously shoddy? This is disrespectful to both us and to Kapoor himself, as whoever he or his company hired to try and hype him up on the Internet clearly have no clue what they're doing and are going about this in a manner which is best described as amateurish at best and terminally incompetent at worst, which in turn makes him come across as a buffoon.

- So, that's all of your "unique" sources (for want of a better term) assessed, and fully half of them are the exact same press release plastered all over the internet ad nauseam with no editing done except to (usually) remove the disclaimer, with the other half being primarily search engine results that point to yet another one of these worthless press releases as the top result. This sourcing is both unacceptable and raises questions about your connexion to Kapoor. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v a little blue Bori 00:50, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

I request a review of my submission since it is not intended for promotion only, the intentions are to provide valuable information about the company, its services, and products. Since I believe that it is really beneficial for those WIKIPEDIA users who like to refer to Wikipedia for collecting maximum information about any company. Either they wish to apply for a job or create a thesis on Information Technology Companies.
The proof that the intentions are not to solely promote the company is that I have not given any backlinks to the products or services pages of both of the websites of Absolute Solutions.
The Content I have compiled is for information purposes, and I will be really grateful if you like to point out the content I should remove or edit to get this wiki page approved.
This is my first submission to WIKIPEDIA and I am looking forward to improving my writing and submissions with your guidance. I have followed an earlier Wikipedia page of an IT Company Nitro Security.
