Thanks for your contributions to German Volunteer Corps. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability, it has too many problems of language or grammar and the article is almost completely WP:OR - original research. Unsourced, uncited, unverifiable. Proper sourcing is required, especially for a potentially sensitive topic. Each fact should be supported by a citation to a reliable source. Suggest resubmitting via AfC process & would be happy to review once citations are present.. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 12:26, 22 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Good day, there is no language or grammar problems as I ensured there were not, it was properly wrote in . Though I do agree with you, this does not have any sources whatsoever due to the fact that no media outlet has actually reported on the unit. The only information which I can get is through Telegram and it was removed on another article that I have worked on for being "unreliable", even though this is the official Telegram page of the German Volunteer Corps which has been used by other official Telegram channels related to the Ukrainian military such as the Russian Volunteer Corps, a Telegram channel which has forwarded messages or stated the existence of the German Volunteer Corps on their Telegram which is also linked to their official website.

Do you suggest that I wait until more actually comes out about this unit and its presence in the media? Or do you believe I should reference Telegram as the source of information, or otherwise do I shorten it down?

Thank you, I appreciate your concerns and suggestions though I do believe not much can really be done. Thank you and have a good day. Davomme ( talk) 16:34, 22 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Timtrent was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, in multiple secondary sources which are WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Please remove Telegram and other primary sources These permeate your references and prevent acceptance ce

Hi, thanks for your edits to PMC Wagner Centre. I noticed significant portions of the article are now copied from this website. As Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, could you please provide a link or evidence to show that the content on nordsint.org is compatibly licensed? Thanks, and happy new year! ARandomName123 ( talk)^{Ping me!} 22:12, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply

I have removed the infringing text for now; we can revert it back if needed. Additionally, please note that copyright also applies to images uploaded to Commons. ARandomName123 ( talk)^{Ping me!} 22:34, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Hey there, apologies - I completely disregarded the fact that this could be potentially copyrighted. I will take greater care to check this through next time I edit, I agree with the measures you’ve taken. I will try to reach out or find the copyright details of the Website before writing up the information again; I will also phrase it in a way that doesn’t directly rip from the page, under the assumption that I am granted to publish the information on Wikipedia. Once again, apologies. Thank you for correcting my actions. Happy new year. Davomme ( talk) 22:44, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Hey there, I made a quick email to NORDSINT regarding the content of using the material on the website. This was the reply I got:

"Feel free to use the resources on the website for the Wikipedia article, since this is a fair use copyright situation to my knowledge. I'd also like to state that the images on the site aren't owned by us either and are taken from the centers Telegram channels or other websites."

Therefore, we can now integrate the information from the page as I have been told that it is a fair use of copyright. The images have been appropriately sourced on the page. Davomme ( talk) 13:23, 29 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Hi, I think there's a misunderstanding. You are, of course, allowed to use information on their website to write an article (facts aren't copyrightable), however, you must summarize and write it in your own words. You can't just take their text and paste it into Wikipedia. As for the images, it doesn't matter whether they have been appropriately sourced, they need to be released under a compatible copyright license. By uploading the images to Commons, you are releasing them under creative commons license, which you can not do unless you are the copyright holder. ARandomName123 ( talk)^{Ping me!} 17:51, 29 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Okay apologies, thank you for clearing up any misunderstandings. Davomme ( talk) 17:56, 29 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Eternal Shadow were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Possibly notable, aside from the plethora of sourcing and neutrality related issues. “Recruitment brochrues, a tactic commonly utilised by the unit in an attempt to recruit volunteers in Germany, praised several members of the Waffen-SS. These individuals include Kurt Eggers, and Hebert Schweigers - both of which were published and praised on social media by the unit. The German Volunteer Corps recruitment material also invoke Islamophobic, and Homophobic sentiments - and also wanted the general restoration of old German borders which are seen on recruitment material. One example of a brochure read "By supporting Ukraine now, you are supporting Germany's future!", providing incentives for German nationals to join the volunteer unit.” That entire paragraph makes several important claims, and is mentioned elsewhere in the submission to be controversial. That paragraph needs a source for almost everything and there is a source for nothing. Per WP:PROVEIT,

Using inline citations, provide reliable, published sources for:

all quotations all material whose verifiability has been challenged all material that is likely to be challenged all contentious matter about living and recently deceased persons.

All four of those are present in this paragraph, so sourcing, possibly multiple, from reliable, independent sources is necessary.

As for the neutrality issues, everything should be carefully worded considering the controversies over this topic.

My final concern is with the neutrality of the sources, particularly the ones in the ‘controversies and allegations’ section. Most of the rest of the article has wording issues that can be quickly fixed but that section might need to be altered in major ways, at the very least rewritten with improved neutrality and context. Sources that aren’t neutral can be used, albeit with caution and context, both of which are not present.
