Hi there! I am looking to work on getting the Allan Flanders draft ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Allan_Flanders) published as a source. I was wondering if you see any big specifics to be addressed or if the comments refer to the entire article. There were some words to be changed in the intro although I can't seem to find any other blatant puffery in the rest of the article. The article includes quite a lot of varied, academic research and overall is neutral in its coverage of the topic. Would love to hear some more points to get working on them! Thanks!

I gave this one a major makeover, so it could pass as a stub. Should it be left like that or be merged into the Naver (corporation) article? It could potentially grow with more adaptations. 3 of the drama shows are already their own articles. The editor has copied it over to Naver article in the meantime, so it could survive as a section too. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 22:55, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
I was shocked to see my article was declined again. I've been declined twice now after fixing the previous problem which was to add multiple sources due to the fact I only had one at the time. All the sources I included posses accurate information about my topic and stay on point with the subject though I understand currently there is not much information around regarding my topic. Yet I feel that my draft meets the criteria for it to become an article.

Damn, yall don't make this easy, do you. All i wanted to do was start a page on a very important person, who is quite relevent in this time of election. I've been denied a couple times, and have spent way too much time on this.
I'm not a programmer. Just trying to be a good samaritan. but, i'm done trying. last excuse was something about against the purpose of wiki. Really?
since you're the expert, why not just create the page yourself????????????????? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WilliamR164 ( talk • contribs) 16:11, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
1. I have submitted 2 articles in Wikipedia ? both of them are up for review. So which article should I start to edit in order to get it accepted in Wikipedia....
2. How much time would it take to actually publish my edit?

Hello Sulfurboy,
thank you for your feedback on my article!
Looking at it now, I totally understand that it has too many sources. I also see that some points are not so relevant for the subject and can be left out entirely, which should make the article (and the sources) much leaner.
Also, could you give me a hint which sources would be considered not reliable? Just so I can throw these out.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me here!

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to review the article I wrote for the 'The Elephant in the Brain'. I wanted to ask for clarification as to why the article was rejected. You wrote 'Reviews on the book are from non-notable or unreliable sources. Not seeing any significant coverage of the subject.' The Wikipedia notability guidelines
WP:NB states that to qualify as notable the book must be the 'subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself'. I have cited substantial reviews from the Wall Street Journal, New Yorker and the New York Intelligencer, all of which are considered 'generally reliable' according to [
these guidelines]. These three reviews, on their own satisfy the notability requirements. On top of this I have cited reviews in Publishers Weekly and Quillette, as well as a minor review in the National Review and a blog review from a well respected computer scientist. I understand if you believe that the latter four reviews are from 'non-notable or unreliable sources' but I don't think that it is accurate to call the Wall Street Journal, New Yorker and New York Intelligencer 'non-notable and unreliable'. Please could you clarify the reasons for rejection, because as it stands, I believe that the article satisfies the notability requirements. Thanks, all the best,

This is regarding the article submitted through Article for Creation that was rejected and your response on 11th March that I need to clarify if I am being directly or indirectly compensated for the edits being made. Would like to clarify that I am being indirectly compensated for my edits. Looking forward to knowing how I can proceed. Thank you!

What do you mean by saying the sources are not independent? rte is Irelands foremost broadcaster, BAFTA is 'independent' of Niamh Algar etc. Filmmoonshot ( talk) 22:46, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for reviewing!
I am not being paid directly or indirectly, therefore I do not require the paid tag (where do I state this officially to proceed with edits). If the article does not read neutrally, certainly, I would appreciate editorial guidance as a first time contributor.
I am quite interested in writing about African-Americans in Tech/Venture Capital - it is important to note that over 200 Tech VC African-Americas are members of BLCK VC (this is why I am starting with Frederik Groce, the Co-Founder of BLCK VC). Also, I am not paid nor am I affiliated with BLCK VC. I have added more neutral references as requested in the edit feedback from DGG, I have received no specific guidelines on refactoring the draft, how do I proceed?
Key Question: As a starting point, does it make sense to write a WP draft for BLCK VC first and then list all its members - then create stubs for all its members and all the Venture Capital Companies they work for (I think this is around 300 VCs/Companies now)? If so, what info should I list for each member and what is a reliable source other than venture company sites?

Hey, just wondering why you declined /info/en/?search=Draft:The_Race_All-Star_eSports_Battle?

/info/en/?search=Draft:Clar_Weah Thank you once again for your feedback, indeed Wikipedia is not a ground to express or promote any views, the overall tone of the article will be revised. But the comment on promotion or advertisement on every organisation she has been in is not true its a biography and part of her humanitarian activities, the template was based off other first ladies wiki pages which bear similar "advertisement", and I have yet to understand why the sources that were sited were not reliable they all stem from legitimate newspapers of Liberia, hence my previous question why are they not considered credible? Thank you -- BramsKK ( talk) 17:07, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
"launch her career"by coincidentally being a bank teller where she meets her future husband. Many of the claims you make are unsourced, and promotional. Bullet-listing her goals is clear ad copy. You have gone out of your way to list her social media profiles in violation of WP:ELNO. You undoubtedly have a conflict of interest and can't see this objectively.

Hi thanks for your comments on this. In your view is the underlying content significant and this is just a technical hurdle regarding sources? Or is it more fundamental that I need to justify him being significant?
I had included the bio and his imdb page but a previous reviewer said they didn't count as reliable sources. So I stripped it all down to things that I was confident were as reliable as you can get. The seven sources are all international news organisations which I thought was good. In my eyes he counts as significant as he's directed three films which have their own (extensive) wikipedia pages but I guess it still needs a bit more work. Would it help if the post was longer? I tried to keep it concise so that every word was backed up by as many sources as possible but maybe that's unhelpful.
Very grateful for help! Thought this would be an easy one to start me off but it's been anything but! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.240.194.255 ( talk) 00:15, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that, you have rejected my draft on Draft:Basab Chaudhuri . He is the current Vice Chancellor of West Bengal State University, located in West Bengal, India. 90% of the content on this page is directly based on the press coverage in the Millenium Post and the most circulated Bengali daily Anandabazar. Even his researchgate profile has been given as an external source. The information contained herein is partly extracted from the University website (Office of Vice Chancellor (VC). It's almost impossible for a man to get vast coverage and I don't think it should be the only criteria for a draft to get published. He is an well known academic in West Bengal and holds the designation of VC in a State University. I do belive that I have adequate notability and reliable sources to support the article. Now it's arduous for me to gather more sources to validate what I have written there. Please consider that. You can check the university website also. Thanks.

Hi,
I was just curious why the new proposed page on Bereskin & Parr LLP was declined? In viewing the landscape of IP firms in Canada (i.e., intellectual property), I had noted many IP firms had informative Wikipedia pages (e.g., Smart & Biggar, Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, etc.). Accordingly, I sought to add a brief page discussing Bereskin & Parr. In particular, in viewing and passing by the Wikipedia page for "Boutique law firm", I noted that Bereskin & Parr did not have a Wikipedia page.
Alternatively, how could I change my submission to be acceptable, without it seeming like an "advertisment"? The original page noted a brief history of the firm (i.e., founded in 1965), it's founders, the number of lawyers, it's general ranking in IP landscape as well notable clients that have been represented. I seem to have found similar information disclosed in other articles discussing law firms.
As well, apologies, this is one of my first draft submissions - I am unsure how to link to the deleted draft in this comment, as per the rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IPLaw365 ( talk • contribs) 20:46, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

"...they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject..."
IGN, Eurogamer, and Digital Foundry are all "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
The entire IGN interview alone presents significant coverage of the subject (person) and was conducted independently by IGN.

Could you please explain why this article "Karl Ferris",(about me) which has been on Wikipedia for over 10 years, is now marked for Deletion or Draft? I, and much of the public, do believe this subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article, and has over the past 10 years. And, half the pictures on it were there from the very beginning and are in public domain...and I have just added 4 additional images that half were uploaded from Wiki Image sources and half from me Karl Ferris, their Author and copyright holder, (and I give Wiki permission to use them). I also corrected a few incorrect names and dates in the original article written by Michael Goldstein-Curator, of the Album Cover Hall of Fame.com And there are plenty of Periodical citations there also, and many related Wikipedia interlinks on the page to many other related pages.
So the article is definitely legitimate, therefore could you please review and reinstate the article as it was for many years? And please let me know: karlferris@hotmail.com

The draft properly links to the article on the species, so the draft almost certainly is about the venom. We edit-conflicted in a non-harmful way, because I renamed the draft while you declined it.

Hi there Sulfurboy. I am sorry you didn't like my fixing up Lucky Lou's; mea culpa, when you did not answer my question about content creation over at Talk:Hitachi Zosen Inova, I took the liberty of checking your contributions. I see you are mainly a tagger and reviewer of other editors' work, and there is nothing wrong with that. I then looked at the five articles you have started. Most of them look fine, but this one stands out as a terrible article in terrible shape. Now, I apologise if this comes over as a tu quoque, and it sure sounds like a nice bar to drink in, but I think there are some problems there. I've raised some of them in talk as you requested in your edit summary when you reverted back in all the promotional material sourced to long-dead blogs; you really shouldn't have done that but never mind.

/info/en/?search=Draft:Nabeel_Ahmad_(entrepreneur) I assumed that the sources were genuine. However, you and another reviewer have the opinion that they are press releases. As I am new, I am not fully aware of all the vetting processes of sources. I included all the sources I could find, and there are no other sources for the article. So if these are not enough, you can delete the article, as I cannot do any more work on it. Thank you, and sorry for being a bother. MistyGraceWhite ( talk) 21:34, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
Link: Modular_forms_modulo_p
Thank you very much for your review. You changed the title from modular forms modulo to modular forms modulo . However, the article only talks about modular forms modulo (which is a special case when ). What has been written in the article do not generalize to (it is a very special case), so I wonder if the change of title is needed.
All right, I need some help here. I'm not sure why that happened, and I think I fixed it. This is article #1 for me, so if I typed the wrong button by accident... I have to feel philosophical about that.
So my question has to be, having purged the junk at the bottom of the article, do I simply resubmit?

No worries. I was, in fact, surprised to hear back from anyone so quickly. Mid 20th C. art is... a challenging subject, with all the copyright issues it infringes on.

Another P.S. I saw your note, and I'm working up the two sections that need it. Really, it was the partnership of Madeleine, with her French (and Swiss) connections, and Arthur, with his Polish Connections, that made the gallery so influentual. So--the gallery is the important thing, I think, not so much the individuals who ran it. I'll add the bits about Madeleine and the politics with the Guggenheim, the Met, &c. so the Gallery's importance is clearer. As I wrote above--wasn't clear when my end of the job could be considered done. I've only experienced Wikipedia from the users end, to date. So am learning today's standards as I go. I figured it was better to get that in process than sit back fussing with one piece. Best Sicklemoon ( talk) 00:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Damn, yall don't make this easy, do you. All i wanted to do was start a page on a very important person, who is quite relevent in this time of election. I've been denied a couple times, and have spent way too much time on this.
I'm not a programmer. Just trying to be a good samaritan. but, i'm done trying. last excuse was something about against the purpose of wiki. Really?
since you're the expert, why not just create the page yourself????????????????? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WilliamR164 ( talk • contribs) 16:11, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
1. I have submitted 2 articles in Wikipedia ? both of them are up for review. So which article should I start to edit in order to get it accepted in Wikipedia....
2. How much time would it take to actually publish my edit?
3. is there a problem in how my content is specifically placed?

Hello Sulfurboy,
thank you for your feedback on my article!
Looking at it now, I totally understand that it has too many sources. I also see that some points are not so relevant for the subject and can be left out entirely, which should make the article (and the sources) much leaner.
Also, could you give me a hint which sources would be considered not reliable? Just so I can throw these out.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me here!

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to review the article I wrote for the 'The Elephant in the Brain'. I wanted to ask for clarification as to why the article was rejected. You wrote 'Reviews on the book are from non-notable or unreliable sources. Not seeing any significant coverage of the subject.' The Wikipedia notability guidelines
WP:NB states that to qualify as notable the book must be the 'subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself'. I have cited substantial reviews from the Wall Street Journal, New Yorker and the New York Intelligencer, all of which are considered 'generally reliable' according to [
these guidelines]. These three reviews, on their own satisfy the notability requirements. On top of this I have cited reviews in Publishers Weekly and Quillette, as well as a minor review in the National Review and a blog review from a well respected computer scientist. I understand if you believe that the latter four reviews are from 'non-notable or unreliable sources' but I don't think that it is accurate to call the Wall Street Journal, New Yorker and New York Intelligencer 'non-notable and unreliable'. Please could you clarify the reasons for rejection, because as it stands, I believe that the article satisfies the notability requirements. Thanks, all the best,

This is regarding the article submitted through Article for Creation that was rejected and your response on 11th March that I need to clarify if I am being directly or indirectly compensated for the edits being made. Would like to clarify that I am being indirectly compensated for my edits. Looking forward to knowing how I can proceed. Thank you!

Thank you for reviewing!
I am not being paid directly or indirectly, therefore I do not require the paid tag (where do I state this officially to proceed with edits). If the article does not read neutrally, certainly, I would appreciate editorial guidance as a first time contributor.
I am quite interested in writing about African-Americans in Tech/Venture Capital - it is important to note that over 200 Tech VC African-Americas are members of BLCK VC (this is why I am starting with Frederik Groce, the Co-Founder of BLCK VC). Also, I am not paid nor am I affiliated with BLCK VC. I have added more neutral references as requested in the edit feedback from DGG, I have received no specific guidelines on refactoring the draft, how do I proceed?
Key Question: As a starting point, does it make sense to write a WP draft for BLCK VC first and then list all its members - then create stubs for all its members and all the Venture Capital Companies they work for (I think this is around 300 VCs/Companies now)? If so, what info should I list for each member and what is a reliable source other than venture company sites?

/info/en/?search=Draft:Clar_Weah Thank you once again for your feedback, indeed Wikipedia is not a ground to express or promote any views, the overall tone of the article will be revised. But the comment on promotion or advertisement on every organisation she has been in is not true its a biography and part of her humanitarian activities, the template was based off other first ladies wiki pages which bear similar "advertisement", and I have yet to understand why the sources that were sited were not reliable they all stem from legitimate newspapers of Liberia, hence my previous question why are they not considered credible? Thank you -- BramsKK ( talk) 17:07, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
"launch her career"by coincidentally being a bank teller where she meets her future husband. Many of the claims you make are unsourced, and promotional. Bullet-listing her goals is clear ad copy. You have gone out of your way to list her social media profiles in violation of WP:ELNO. You undoubtedly have a conflict of interest and can't see this objectively.

Hi thanks for your comments on this. In your view is the underlying content significant and this is just a technical hurdle regarding sources? Or is it more fundamental that I need to justify him being significant?
I had included the bio and his imdb page but a previous reviewer said they didn't count as reliable sources. So I stripped it all down to things that I was confident were as reliable as you can get. The seven sources are all international news organisations which I thought was good. In my eyes he counts as significant as he's directed three films which have their own (extensive) wikipedia pages but I guess it still needs a bit more work. Would it help if the post was longer? I tried to keep it concise so that every word was backed up by as many sources as possible but maybe that's unhelpful.

Hi, I noticed that, you have rejected my draft on Draft:Basab Chaudhuri . He is the current Vice Chancellor of West Bengal State University, located in West Bengal, India. 90% of the content on this page is directly based on the press coverage in the Millenium Post and the most circulated Bengali daily Anandabazar. Even his researchgate profile has been given as an external source. The information contained herein is partly extracted from the University website (Office of Vice Chancellor (VC). It's almost impossible for a man to get vast coverage and I don't think it should be the only criteria for a draft to get published. He is an well known academic in West Bengal and holds the designation of VC in a State University. I do belive that I have adequate notability and reliable sources to support the article. Now it's arduous for me to gather more sources to validate what I have written there. Please consider that. You can check the university website also. Thanks.

Hi,
I was just curious why the new proposed page on Bereskin & Parr LLP was declined? In viewing the landscape of IP firms in Canada (i.e., intellectual property), I had noted many IP firms had informative Wikipedia pages (e.g., Smart & Biggar, Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP, etc.). Accordingly, I sought to add a brief page discussing Bereskin & Parr. In particular, in viewing and passing by the Wikipedia page for "Boutique law firm", I noted that Bereskin & Parr did not have a Wikipedia page.
Alternatively, how could I change my submission to be acceptable, without it seeming like an "advertisment"? The original page noted a brief history of the firm (i.e., founded in 1965), it's founders, the number of lawyers, it's general ranking in IP landscape as well notable clients that have been represented. I seem to have found similar information disclosed in other articles discussing law firms.
As well, apologies, this is one of my first draft submissions - I am unsure how to link to the deleted draft in this comment, as per the rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IPLaw365 ( talk • contribs) 20:46, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

"...they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject..."
IGN, Eurogamer, and Digital Foundry are all "published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
The entire IGN interview alone presents significant coverage of the subject (person) and was conducted independently by IGN.

Could you please explain why this article "Karl Ferris",(about me) which has been on Wikipedia for over 10 years, is now marked for Deletion or Draft? I, and much of the public, do believe this subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article, and has over the past 10 years. And, half the pictures on it were there from the very beginning and are in public domain...and I have just added 4 additional images that half were uploaded from Wiki Image sources and half from me Karl Ferris, their Author and copyright holder, (and I give Wiki permission to use them). I also corrected a few incorrect names and dates in the original article written by Michael Goldstein-Curator, of the Album Cover Hall of Fame.com And there are plenty of Periodical citations there also, and many related Wikipedia interlinks on the page to many other related pages.
So the article is definitely legitimate, therefore could you please review and reinstate the article as it was for many years? And please let me know: karlferris@hotmail.com

The draft properly links to the article on the species, so the draft almost certainly is about the venom. We edit-conflicted in a non-harmful way, because I renamed the draft while you declined it.

Hi there Sulfurboy. I am sorry you didn't like my fixing up Lucky Lou's; mea culpa, when you did not answer my question about content creation over at Talk:Hitachi Zosen Inova, I took the liberty of checking your contributions. I see you are mainly a tagger and reviewer of other editors' work, and there is nothing wrong with that. I then looked at the five articles you have started. Most of them look fine, but this one stands out as a terrible article in terrible shape. Now, I apologise if this comes over as a tu quoque, and it sure sounds like a nice bar to drink in, but I think there are some problems there. I've raised some of them in talk as you requested in your edit summary when you reverted back in all the promotional material sourced to long-dead blogs; you really shouldn't have done that but never mind.

Link: Modular_forms_modulo_p
Thank you very much for your review. You changed the title from modular forms modulo to modular forms modulo . However, the article only talks about modular forms modulo (which is a special case when ). What has been written in the article do not generalize to (it is a very special case), so I wonder if the change of title is needed.
All right, I need some help here. I'm not sure why that happened, and I think I fixed it. This is article #1 for me, so if I typed the wrong button by accident... I have to feel philosophical about that.

Another P.S. I saw your note, and I'm working up the two sections that need it. Really, it was the partnership of Madeleine, with her French (and Swiss) connections, and Arthur, with his Polish Connections, that made the gallery so influentual. So--the gallery is the important thing, I think, not so much the individuals who ran it. I'll add the bits about Madeleine and the politics with the Guggenheim, the Met, &c. so the Gallery's importance is clearer. As I wrote above--wasn't clear when my end of the job could be considered done. I've only experienced Wikipedia from the users end, to date. So am learning today's standards as I go. I figured it was better to get that in process than sit back fussing with one piece. Best Sicklemoon ( talk) 00:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
