Hello,
I'd like to know simply why this post is getting declined and exactly what I have to do to get it live. I'm having a really hard time figuring out why this post is being declined and it is very important that this page is up. Shama "Sak Pase" Joseph is a Grammy-nominated producer and his business is in need of this page. Please, can you explain to me exactly what I need to do to get this accepted and live.
THank you. Kristengray ( talk) 23:11, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm trying to create a page for A.G. Riddle. Basically, I guess it is being rejected because you (?) think he is not notable enough. What is puzzling is that he ranks #38 on Amazon, #1 on Kindle Indi, and, as I just resubmitted, his three books have been acquired by CBS Films. It seems to me these are all pretty notable. Plus, I have used references that are not connected to him. What else can I do?Steven C. Price 15:05, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Thanks--but CBS Films acquiring his book rights does speak to the "media" attention, doesn't it? Steven C. Price 15:15, 2 July 2014 (UTC) — Preceding

And thanks again! I'm using the 4 tildes--isn't that what you're supposed to do? Also, I thought using the [] for a reference was as good as using a Cite error: There are <ref>
tags on this page without content in them (see the
help page). So I guess I'm confused when you use one or the other. But I will fix up the page as you suggest. And, I will continue to try to find additional sources. Many Thanks for your time and input and training. — Preceding

Dear Matthew Vanitas,
I am writing to seek your advice in relation to the first draft of a page for Lori Baker within Wikipedia. I have updated the page since the rejection, and hope that you can see it -- or should I submit it, and await your response once having done so?

Hi. With something like User:Joshphill/sandbox which accuses a named person of being a pedophile, it would be better not to go through the AfC decline process, which thanks the author for his contribution and invites him to improve it: just tag it {{ db-attack}} and put {{ uw-attack}} on the author's talk page. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 11:15, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
Hello.
I can't argue with your decision, but I would like to emphasize that everything in my draft is factual and accurate. However, I must admit that it is not an article. The proof and factual aspect is in the government and local authorities' records, but there is one key detail missing from those records. Yes, I was trying to put the records straight, because I do believe the circumstances were very unusual, in that a series of coincidences produced a possibly uniquely unusual result.
I assume the rejection is due to the subject matter itself and ask if it is such that even a skilled author could never turn it into an article? To put it another way, is there anything that could be done with the subject matter to justify a re-review?
If the answer is "NO", then I will be on my way. However, it would be a pity if these little twists of fate were never revealed, so I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as what I might try next.
Thank you for your time
Best wishes
David

Dear MatthewVanitas. My submission of the Wikipedia "intequity" page's purpose, is, to motivate research about a worth-while concept, "intequity". The original research was done and was published in JETEMS, according to the citation in the article. Can you move the article to somewhere in Wikipedia where the following can happen? A place in Wikipedia; where students (researchers), who are looking for topics to do their post graduate studies or research about, can take the articles and work on those articles, as part of their studies or research.

Hello, Matt. I am very sorry for all of my formatting issues. This is the first time I've tried to do this.
Reference your message to me: User talk:Kimdavis621 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Major formatting issues at Draft:Steven Oberman[edit] Hello, it took me several minutes to clean up the formatting errors to the point that the draft was even legible.
Take a look at a few of the areas I cleaned up, then the areas I didn't. Note how indenting a paragraph causes the text to display wrong, so do not indent. Also I find-replaced every use of "Mr.", since we don't do that here. Also you were putting
after every single footnote; that's not how it works, that code should only appears once at the bottom of the page, which tells the program to list all the above footnotes there. You also need to make proper section headings rather than bolding your subtitles.
Long/short, please take a look at how other articles are formatted and do likewise. Look at the page after each time you save it, and if there are things that blatantly look to be coded wrong, please fix them.
These format issues are separate from any WP:Notability or WP:Sourcing issues, which a next reviewer will address. MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:44, 6 July 2014
Hi Matthew. I see that you declined Draft:Jeremy Sewall with the comment "References for living person bios must be done as footnotes." Inline references are required only for direct quotes and, for living people, in a only few other special cases. Everything does not need a reference. An only the notability references need to be independent of the person. As Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions says:
1. Avoid declining an article because it correctly uses general references to support some or all of the material. The content and sourcing policies require inline citations for only four specific types of material, most commonly direct quotations and contentious material (whether negative, positive, or neutral) about living persons.
Except for direct quotes, in most cases new editors don't need to learn anything about putting in inline citations before their article is accepted. Of course those citations will be needed to improve the quality of the article. Happy reviewing. StarryGrandma ( talk) 03:22, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

He also achieved a platinum record for writing and producing entertaining educational children's music. What would it take to create English version of his Danish page?

It is ridiculous to reject the LLCO submission based on lack of independent sources. We are talking about a far-left post-Maoist organization, which obviously exists and has a presence in numerous countries. If this standard were applied consistently, it would mean the decimation of Wiki information on the far left of numerous countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100E:B02F:CF1E:219:E3FF:FE0E:8687 ( talk) 17:33, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
Articles generally require significant coverage
in reliable sources
that are independent of the topic.
Significant coverage
Significant coverage in sources is required to show that a topic meets the general notability guideline (GNG). This means sources that discuss the topic directly and in detail. Not: passing mentions, directory listings, or any old thing that happens to have the name in it.
Reliable sources
We need reliable sources. Usually this means that the publisher has a reputation for fact checking. These might be newspapers, books, or periodicals. Not: forums, fansites, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, or most blogs.
Independent sources
We need independent sources. Not: articles written by the topic, paid for by the topic, their website, or press releases.
Verifiability
We want readers to be able to verify that Wikipedia articles are not just made up. To do this, cite the information in your article. Non-independent reliable sources can be used for verifiability.
Matthew, could you help me to make the page more in line with your recommendations? It's my first one and I'd like to do it well and learn, too.

I asked a question on Draft_talk:CongressEdits, but I don't know if it's better to ask there or here, or expect an answer there or here, so I'm putting it in both places.
The question: Why remove the paragraph about the code that runs the bot? I'd like to see more people run code to check Wikipedia for anonymous edits from other US government agencies, and that'll happen more easily if more people know where the code is located. (I'm not irritated, just curious, since you've got a lot more Wiki experience than I do -- and you edited it to remove the paragraph between the time I submitted the just-prior revision and my next revision, causing my later submission to still have that paragraph.)
Also, I can't find any major notable sources about "Twitter bots", so following the guidelines above in your talk page section on LLCO, I don't think I can create a separate article where I list the source code availability for various bots. What would you recommend in this situation? Aerowolf ( talk) 22:19, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
The article in question was actually started by someone at the US House of Representatives, and I found out about it from @congressedits on Twitter. It's not "my" article, nor am I involved in creating or running it, but I am the one who's trying to flesh the article out.
It is primarily associated with a "political discourse on the Web" topic, linked (loosely) via that topic to Sunlight Foundation.
I'll take a step back and address your concerns. Thanks for your help! Aerowolf ( talk) 03:01, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Oh, I see where I misinterpreted it. On the next change after yours it had a - on the left side and a + on the right; with most third-party visual diff tools I'm used to seeing it simply match up the left and right. I'm sorry for mistaking it and asking you something that wasn't true. Thanks again! Aerowolf ( talk) 03:06, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

I am writing to seek your advice in relation to the first draft of a page for Lori Baker within Wikipedia. I have updated the page since the rejection, and hope that you can see it -- or should I submit it, and await your response once having done so?

Today this (writing) is the basic post modern philosophical approach to self-observation in Ontology and many other systems of practice...Thought is material...It is our means for meaning: In our nervous system...thought from thinking is mentation, thought from touch is sensation, thought from feeling is emotion...thought is a function of the functions for our being here...Establishing what thought is, is in part necessary for observing oneself in the present...contextually this is about being here now...

Hi. With something like User:Joshphill/sandbox which accuses a named person of being a pedophile, it would be better not to go through the AfC decline process, which thanks the author for his contribution and invites him to improve it: just tag it {{ db-attack}} and put {{ uw-attack}} on the author's talk page. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 11:15, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
Hello.
I can't argue with your decision, but I would like to emphasize that everything in my draft is factual and accurate. However, I must admit that it is not an article. The proof and factual aspect is in the government and local authorities' records, but there is one key detail missing from those records. Yes, I was trying to put the records straight, because I do believe the circumstances were very unusual, in that a series of coincidences produced a possibly uniquely unusual result.
I assume the rejection is due to the subject matter itself and ask if it is such that even a skilled author could never turn it into an article? To put it another way, is there anything that could be done with the subject matter to justify a re-review?
If the answer is "NO", then I will be on my way. However, it would be a pity if these little twists of fate were never revealed, so I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as what I might try next.
Thank you for your time
Best wishes
David

Dear MatthewVanitas. My submission of the Wikipedia "intequity" page's purpose, is, to motivate research about a worth-while concept, "intequity". The original research was done and was published in JETEMS, according to the citation in the article. Can you move the article to somewhere in Wikipedia where the following can happen? A place in Wikipedia; where students (researchers), who are looking for topics to do their post graduate studies or research about, can take the articles and work on those articles, as part of their studies or research.

Hello, Matt. I am very sorry for all of my formatting issues. This is the first time I've tried to do this.
Reference your message to me: User talk:Kimdavis621 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Major formatting issues at Draft:Steven Oberman[edit] Hello, it took me several minutes to clean up the formatting errors to the point that the draft was even legible.
Take a look at a few of the areas I cleaned up, then the areas I didn't. Note how indenting a paragraph causes the text to display wrong, so do not indent. Also I find-replaced every use of "Mr.", since we don't do that here. Also you were putting
after every single footnote; that's not how it works, that code should only appears once at the bottom of the page, which tells the program to list all the above footnotes there. You also need to make proper section headings rather than bolding your subtitles.
Long/short, please take a look at how other articles are formatted and do likewise. Look at the page after each time you save it, and if there are things that blatantly look to be coded wrong, please fix them.
These format issues are separate from any WP:Notability or WP:Sourcing issues, which a next reviewer will address. MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:44, 6 July 2014
Hi Matthew. I see that you declined Draft:Jeremy Sewall with the comment "References for living person bios must be done as footnotes." Inline references are required only for direct quotes and, for living people, in a only few other special cases. Everything does not need a reference. An only the notability references need to be independent of the person. As Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions says:
1. Avoid declining an article because it correctly uses general references to support some or all of the material. The content and sourcing policies require inline citations for only four specific types of material, most commonly direct quotations and contentious material (whether negative, positive, or neutral) about living persons.
Except for direct quotes, in most cases new editors don't need to learn anything about putting in inline citations before their article is accepted. Of course those citations will be needed to improve the quality of the article. Happy reviewing. StarryGrandma ( talk) 03:22, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

He also achieved a platinum record for writing and producing entertaining educational children's music. What would it take to create English version of his Danish page?

It is ridiculous to reject the LLCO submission based on lack of independent sources. We are talking about a far-left post-Maoist organization, which obviously exists and has a presence in numerous countries. If this standard were applied consistently, it would mean the decimation of Wiki information on the far left of numerous countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100E:B02F:CF1E:219:E3FF:FE0E:8687 ( talk) 17:33, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
Articles generally require significant coverage
in reliable sources
that are independent of the topic.
Significant coverage
Significant coverage in sources is required to show that a topic meets the general notability guideline (GNG). This means sources that discuss the topic directly and in detail. Not: passing mentions, directory listings, or any old thing that happens to have the name in it.
Reliable sources
We need reliable sources. Usually this means that the publisher has a reputation for fact checking. These might be newspapers, books, or periodicals. Not: forums, fansites, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, or most blogs.
Independent sources
We need independent sources. Not: articles written by the topic, paid for by the topic, their website, or press releases.
Verifiability
We want readers to be able to verify that Wikipedia articles are not just made up. To do this, cite the information in your article. Non-independent reliable sources can be used for verifiability.
Matthew, could you help me to make the page more in line with your recommendations? It's my first one and I'd like to do it well and learn, too.

I asked a question on Draft_talk:CongressEdits, but I don't know if it's better to ask there or here, or expect an answer there or here, so I'm putting it in both places.
The question: Why remove the paragraph about the code that runs the bot? I'd like to see more people run code to check Wikipedia for anonymous edits from other US government agencies, and that'll happen more easily if more people know where the code is located. (I'm not irritated, just curious, since you've got a lot more Wiki experience than I do -- and you edited it to remove the paragraph between the time I submitted the just-prior revision and my next revision, causing my later submission to still have that paragraph.)
Also, I can't find any major notable sources about "Twitter bots", so following the guidelines above in your talk page section on LLCO, I don't think I can create a separate article where I list the source code availability for various bots. What would you recommend in this situation? Aerowolf ( talk) 22:19, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
The article in question was actually started by someone at the US House of Representatives, and I found out about it from @congressedits on Twitter. It's not "my" article, nor am I involved in creating or running it, but I am the one who's trying to flesh the article out.
It is primarily associated with a "political discourse on the Web" topic, linked (loosely) via that topic to Sunlight Foundation.
I'll take a step back and address your concerns. Thanks for your help! Aerowolf ( talk) 03:01, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
Oh, I see where I misinterpreted it. On the next change after yours it had a - on the left side and a + on the right; with most third-party visual diff tools I'm used to seeing it simply match up the left and right. I'm sorry for mistaking it and asking you something that wasn't true. Thanks again! Aerowolf ( talk) 03:06, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
