Question from Amarji25 (03:46, 29 August 2024)

Hey I am Amar a new to Wikipedia here's mine question:

I can easily find out whether the paragraph written here has been written through an advertisement or just like that, then I want to ask whether I should delete that entire paragraph? Or remove some words --Amarji25 (talk) 03:46, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Amarji25 it's best to edit the paragraph to remove the advertisement, but if that's not possible feel free to delete — Karnataka 13:03, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from The JV King (21:49, 23 September 2024)

Can't people just use AI instead and Fix Sites? And please I'm Trying to make a Wikipedia Page for a story that is coming eventually. But people decline . Do I not have a worthy article ? Thank you so much. --The JV King (talk) 21:49, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

@The JV King read WP:N, which explains how notable a topic must be for inclusion in Wikipedia. Your draft had no content - you have to write an article if you want your article to be added. See WP:YFA for more details. — Karnataka 16:42, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

There was a whole introduction with all the details needed but idk what happened maybe an ERROR . However u haven't answered my question about the Ai. Thank you. The JV King (talk) 19:17, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

@The JV King well it is fine to use AI right now, there isn’t a policy against it but you have to remember that whatever you write on the site is your responsibility, and you will be responsible for your edits whether it is AI or not. There are cases of users being blocked for using AI to communicate with others on talk pages where the AI responses were not addressing the main concern at all. — Karnataka 17:32, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Also , is there an like legal action against inauthentic sources and infos? Thanks The JV King (talk) 21:00, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@The JV King no, inauthentic and inaccurate info will be removed, the harshest punishment that I know about is just a block from editing Wikipedia — Karnataka 08:19, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

And how do u like become someone Who accepts or rejects. Like how? Also Can you like sue someone for providing inaccurate info because he wants to?, thank you 196.75.12.29 (talk) 18:30, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

@The JV King no we do not sue, like I said we just remove the inaccurate information and then block the editor from editing if they're being disruptive according to the Editing policy. Experienced editors can request the page reviewer permission if they meet the criteria for it, found at Wikipedia:NPRCRITERIA — Karnataka 20:41, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Bhashaji (17:54, 16 October 2024)

Hi Mentor's

I'm drafting a Wikipedia page on Thetrendingpeople in the sandbox. Could you please review and give feedback before I move it to main space? Your expertise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Bhashaji --Bhashaji (talk) 17:54, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

@Bhashaji the article is probably fine but based on the sources that you have provided, the topic is non-notable. The first source doesn't mention the website, and every other source except from the second are directories or own website links that are affiliated with the subject. The second is the only suitable source, but I don't think I can validate it as that source seems to be promotional.

If you cannot find any more sources that meet the WP:GNG criteria, is it best to stop attempting to create your article, or it will certainly be deleted for non-notability. — Karnataka 18:39, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello Mentor @Karnataka

I understand your concerns regarding the notability of the topic in the article. I have thoroughly reviewed the sources you mentioned and acknowledge that some of them may not meet the WP:GNGcriteria. However, I have made significant revisions to ensure the article aligns with Wikipedia's standards of neutrality and encyclopedic content. The promotional elements have been removed, and the information now focuses strictly on the historical background and services, supported by reliable sources.

I would kindly request that you reconsider the Thetrendingpeople draft for main space of the page, as it has been substantially improved in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines. Bhashaji (talk) 07:55, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

@Bhashaji I never said that your article was promotional - the sources were, and none of the sources you have added after my original message meet the WP:GNG criteria.

but some of your newer edits have made the article promotional, such as "aim of offering a space for diverse voices". if you are using AI to write your article, please review what the AI has sent to you. if you work at the place, please also declare your Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. — Karnataka 09:16, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello Karnataka

Thank you so much for your help and feedback. I understand your concerns about the WP:GNG criteria and notability of the sources. I have been actively working on this issue, independent sources that coverage of Thetrendingpeople to meet the notability guidelines.

Apart from this I have added the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. tag to the draft to declare my conflict of interest as I am associated with the organization. I have also revised the article to remove any promotional language and to ensure that the content is strictly neutral and aligned with Wikipedia’s standards.

I will keep improving the article draft based on your feedback. If there’s anything specific that still needs attention, please let me know.

Best Regards Bhashaji (talk) 07:47, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Okay! — Karnataka 17:01, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello my dear mentor @Karnataka I have updated the thetrendingpeople draft to strengthen its alignment with WP:GNG Wikipedia's notability guidelines by adding reliable sources for verification. Could you please help me on the steps to move this draft into the main space once it's reviewed? Thank you! Bhashaji (talk) 19:59, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

@Bhashaji would you like me to submit your article for review? — Karnataka 21:47, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

@Karnataka"Yes, I really appreciate it if you could help submit my article for review. This is my first project on Wikipedia, so I’d also like to learn more about how to move an article into the main space and make sure it meets Wikipedia's standards. Thank you so much for your help and guidance! 🙏 Bhashaji (talk) 04:09, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

@Bhashaji I have submitted your draft for review for you, please wait until a response is given by whoever decides to review your draft. — Karnataka 22:45, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello dear mentor @Karnataka

I hope you're doing well. My draft for Thetrendingpeople was recently declined for publication. The reviewers,@DoubleGrazing and @HitroMilanese, indicated that the references do not sufficiently establish notability, suggesting that I need multiple in-depth, reliable, secondary, and independent sources.

I have included several sources that I believe meet these criteria, as they provide detailed, independent coverage from reputable publications. Could you please help review the draft with this feedback in mind? I’d really gratefully any guidance or suggestions on how to improve it for resubmission.

Thank you very much for your help!
