Rejection of draft: Leftover from the void
Thank you for your feedback. I had some questions in relation to my draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Leftover_from_the_void , titled leftover from the void. I wanted to know if the draft is being considered for inclusion as well as the French version of the site. Is the French version being considered as it was written in English? Most of the references and media coverage given was in French. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattab1234 (talk • contribs) 01:33, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Mattab1234, I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if someone will translate the article into French? That is extremely unlikely, since the article is currently a draft. If it becomes an article in the English-language Wikipedia's mainspace, it may be translated into French by another editor, but that isn't very likely - there are far more editors and articles on English Wikipedia than French Wikipedia, so most things aren't translated unless they're relevant to a particular editor's interests. -- asilvering (talk) 18:17, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- When you approve/reject the draft do you consider the French sources/ media coverage used to cite the article? Mattab1234 (talk) 15:06, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Mattab1234 Yes, we do. The language the sources are in doesn't affect whether a topic is considered "notable" or not. However, articles at Articles for Creation do tend to take a bit longer on average to be reviewed when the sources aren't in English, since fewer editors feel confident evaluating them. -- asilvering (talk) 00:34, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- In my original question I was asking if the English wiki version be reviewed for inclusion in the French version? It's not a question of translation. Does my original submission have to be in French for this purpose in order for this to happen?
- What would be the submission procedure for the French version? Mattab1234 (talk) 21:40, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Mattab1234 The article would need to be in French to be considered for the French-language wikipedia. You would have to write the article yourself. But first you'd want to make sure you think it's an admissible topic for the French wikipedia (the standards and norms are a bit different on each individual wiki). Their inclusion criteria are here: [1]. -- asilvering (talk) 21:16, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Cocteau
Have you read Le livre blanc by Jean Cocteau? It doesn't sound as if it's something in your interests, but I thought because of your French translations, it would be good to ask. The book came up during my research into Boychick as another "pederastic erotic classic" (🤢); I don't have time to read it, but I'm in the process of creating a small article for it. If you have read it, maybe you could lend a hand? :) Urve (talk) 05:46, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- I have not! Though I'll happily pitch in if I spot anything I think I could be useful with. btw, I was much amused by the last sentence of Boychick (novel). Of all the reasons not to stock that particular book... -- asilvering (talk) 22:20, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Creating page for Dr. Karen Bakker
Hello!
I saw that you just edited out all of the "cv style material" from the page I submitted for review- could you please explain why this is not able to be included? I feel like it is important to the integrity of the page, as it shows the body of work from her time as a researcher and author. Furthermore, I referenced the page of Naomi Klein in creating the page, and she has lots of "cv style material" and seems to have not had an issue being accepted. Is there a way to get it put back up? Thank you for your help! Cprice061 (talk) 15:46, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Cprice061 You're welcome to add back the selected articles if you like - I removed the whole list section at the end but having a few particularly important articles listed is perfectly fine. (But it is best to make sure these are actually particularly important articles, eg her most famous, most widely cited, etc, rather than just a somewhat random selection.) For lectures, we don't usually list these at all, and these all look like routine conference-type events to me, not the sort of thing that goes in an encyclopedia. If she's delivered a particularly important keynote or something, you might consider listing that. For books, rather than "recent books" it's best to go with her most important ones, since this is more useful to readers and also less vulnerable to looking out-of-date in the future; no need to add the awards back in.
- There's no need to use this section to show that she's an important or well-known researcher; the article already does that. (I'll accept it as soon as the revision deletion is done.) So you're looking to add the work that most defines her as a researcher and will be most helpful for readers to know about. -- asilvering (talk) 17:47, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
