Your submission at Articles for creation: Welancora Gallery (June 8)

Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments2 people in discussion

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Currently, this draft is largely based on what the gallery has said about itself. But what a gallery has said about itself is of little encyclopedic significance (unless its account has been discussed elsewhere). What matters is instead what reliable sources have said (and one requirement for reliability is disinterestedness). Towards the end of this draft, we read "The work and impact of Welancora Gallery have been featured in a variety of articles and publications". This is encouraging. If some of these sources have described or discussed the gallery, then summarize what they say (of course ascribing each summarized description/discussion/comment/review to its particular source). Direct quotations are also possible, if the quotations are few and short.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Welancora Gallery and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Dear Hoary,

I disagree with some of your opinions pertaining the content of this page. The each sentence is directly explicated and summarized from reliable sources like the New York Times and New Yorker. Each article that I used was NOT written by the gallery itself, thus are reliable secondary sources. When I did input something that the gallery has said about itself, I put it in quotes. Even that statement that I put in quotes was, in my opinion, impartial. What the gallery said about itself was solely the mission of the gallery, which I think is crucial information for any reader to have on the gallery as each institution or company has an entrepreneurial mission. Also, I'd argue that a lot of what I wrote is factual and basic information about the gallery (i.e. stating the location, type of art exhibited, and infrastructure), each of which are referenced. Furthermore, I mirrored the structure of the Wikipedia pages of other New York galleries to make sure that my writing was neither lavish nor subjective. I tried to make that my writing was short, direct, sourced, and objective.

I know that it may seem like I am using encouraging or positive language to uplift the gallery due to the COI declaration; however, I only signed the COI because I am volunteering to make a Wikipedia page for this gallery because I love to write and edit, I have no promotional connection to the gallery. I signed the COI declaration to show how seriously I take Wikipedia's integrity guidelines, even though I am volunteering, I wanted to make sure that my commitment to unbiased writing was conveyed.

I can go through and edit the sentence that you highlighted, and make the content of the page more blunt and less stylized.

I really hope that this page can be approved with my new edits as I would love to create a Wikipedia page, I put a great amount of time and effort into creating this and I would hate to see that go down the drain.

Thank you for your initial feedback and your continued consideration of this page. I hope my response clarifies my intention and my commitment to making a clear and precise Wikipedia article.

All the best, INJCurator (talk) 19:30, 8 June 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 Theroadislong was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Just advertising, articles need to report what reliable independent sources say about a topic NOT what you know from working with them.
