Please review the concern article for verification, multiple issue are fixed. IamAnisurrahman (talk) 06:13, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Rejection typically means that the draft will not be considered further. If you have fundamentally changed the draft and addressed the concerns of reviewers, please first appeal to the last reviewer.
Very curious how you came to edit about that draft. 331dot (talk) 06:57, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Because it has essentially no content, because almost nothing has yet been published on the subject. Wait until it has been written about (which probably means waiting until it happens). Wikipedia is not a crystal ball ColinFine (talk) 16:24, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

23:17, 11 August 2024 review of submission by Bushido77

edit

I would like suggestions on where to find verifiable citation sources. I did a great deal of research for this article and am at a loss to know where to look for acceptable citations. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Also, when I compare this article with one from Robert Heisner's instructor, Park Jong Soo, it seems far more robust. In fact, I added Park Jong Soo's filmography to the Wikipedia page about him.

Sorry, I am not sure what this article is lacking.

Thank you for your help. Bushido77 (talk) 23:17, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Bushido77 You declared a conflict of interest, what is the general nature of it?
You claim that the image of Heisner is your own personal work, meaning that you took it with your camera. Is that the case?
The reviewer left you a detailed message at the top of the draft. Please see other stuff exists. Drafts are judged on their own merits, not based on the presence of other articles that themselves may be inappropriate. 331dot (talk) 23:38, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Question 1 - you asked "You declared a conflict of interest, what is the general nature of it?"
Answer 1 - I was one of his longest training students (40+ years) and co-authored the book detailing the history of our system.
Question 2 - you asked "You claim that the image of Heisner is your own personal work, meaning that you took it with your camera. Is that the case?"
Answer 2 - No, I did not take the photo with my camera. It was used in copyrighted work that we worked on together. I can replace it with a photo I took, if that is necessary. I apologize, I thought if it was in the materials of our system, we could use it.
Question 3 - you asked "The reviewer left you a detailed message at the top of the draft..."
Answer 3 - the initial comment, for example, says I could use "Family Search" if I cite a specific record with lists Heisner's parents. I do not know where else to look for that information. Is there a source that supplies that type of data?
Mr. Heisner had a massive impact on many people around the world, directly or indirectly. I do believe this article is appropriate for Wikipedia, but this is my first article submission and I am not sure how to find everything to make it acceptable.
Thank you for your time and assistance. Bushido77 (talk) 23:53, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
If you personally did not take the photo, you must immediately request its deletion from Commons, or show that the copyright holder(who is almost always the photographer, not the subject) has released the image for it ro be used by anyone for any purpose with attribution.
You may upload a photo you take yourself, but photos are not relevant to the draft approval process, which only considers the text and sources. Photos can wait until the draft is accepted. 331dot (talk) 00:34, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. I have changed the photo to one that I took myself. All other photos either I or Mr. Heisner took ourselves and are included in the book which I have the copyrights to. I will try to find the "Commons" and see if I can figure out how to delete that photo. (Where are the "commons?") Bushido77 (talk) 00:46, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I am pretty sure I had that photo removed. Thanks. Bushido77 (talk) 03:00, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Bushido77, one major problem with a conflict of interest is that it becomes difficult to write the draft without using your own knowledge of the subject - articles here on Wikipedia must contain only information verified by reliable sources, which must be independent from their subject (with a few personal information exceptions, such as a subject's birth date, the names of their children, etc). There's a lot of information about which sources are reliable, but I find WP:42, our 'golden rule', to be a great place to start. That page tells us that you need significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. Part of the second criteria, reliable sources, requires the source to have editorial oversight (for example, not a blog) and come from a reputable publisher (some places will publish anything if they're paid, so they are not reliable).
Your first issue, therefore, is that you can't use anything Heisner has written, said, etc, as a source that establishes his notability, and you can't use anything connected to him. That immediately renders every link to Project Future Center useless for notability purposes, along with the book he wrote, and indeed any other site/organization connected to him. What you need are books, articles, or other sources that are completely independent of him but discuss him and his life and work. It doesn't need to be the whole book/article/source - a chapter would do, for example - but he needs to be the main subject of that piece.
I hope this information is helpful to you; please feel free to ask any further questions you have, and either I or someone else will pop by to answer them. Best of luck in your source search, and happy editing! StartGrammarTime (talk) 12:23, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the feedback. I am re-writing the article using Grammarly with academic and formal settings, in an effort to make it more "encyclopedic." I am finding many newspaper articles about Mr. Heisner and I will try to incorporate them into the article.
Things like the Toronto Yellow Page advertisements from Master Park Jong Soo, which name Bob Heisner as one of his second degree black belts would be a "reliable" source, correct? Bushido77 (talk) 12:54, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Possibly a reliable source, but not an independent one, which is just as critical. Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources. ColinFine (talk) 18:21, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. I am trying hard to do the best I can. I will keep working on it. Bushido77 (talk) 22:26, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

05:08, 12 August 2024 review of submission by Neginghaderii

edit

Hi everyone, I’m working on a draft article about Koorosh Ghorbani, an Iranian trial motorcyclist, and I’m having some trouble with sourcing. He is well-known in Iran and has been extensively covered in Persian media, which are considered reliable sources in his home country. These sources were sufficient for his Persian Wikipedia page, but I’m unsure how to properly reference them on the English Wikipedia. I know Koorosh Ghorbani personally and have access to official documents and translated certificates of his championships. He has participated in international races, including two in Mexico and two in Italy, and I might be able to find links to these events. However, most of the detailed coverage of his career is in Persian. Can anyone advise on how to use Persian sources on English Wikipedia? Additionally, is there a way to upload and use translated documents as sources? We’re aiming to introduce him to an international audience, and having an English Wikipedia page is crucial for this purpose. Thank you in advance for any guidance!

Neginghaderii (talk) 05:08, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Neginghaderii: as you're writing about someone you know in real life, you have a conflict of interest (COI) which needs to be disclosed. I've posted a message on your talk page with instructions.
Please also note that you are not allowed to use Wikipedia for any sort of promotion, which your message suggests you may be intending.
As to your questions, sources don't need to be in English, Persian and other non-English sources are perfectly okay, as long as they otherwise meet the requirements for reliability etc.
Without seeing the sources you plan to use, I cannot comment on whether they would be acceptable, let alone sufficient for establishing notability, but just to say that what is acceptable in the Persian-language Wikipedia may not be acceptable here, and vice versa, as each language version is a completely separate project with their policies and requirements.
There should be no need to upload any documents for referencing purposes, and uploading anything of personal nature, or anything covered by copyright or other proprietary rights, is not advisable, so please don't do that. In any case, sources must be published to be acceptable; private documents and correspondence or similar would not be useful.
HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:25, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I’m a photographer specializing in sporting events, and through my work, I’ve gotten to know many Iranian and world champions personally. I’ve even interviewed world champions. My most recent project involved covering the World Champion Trial GP in Belgium. This experience gives me a unique perspective, allowing me to write accurate and well-informed articles about athletes like Koorosh Ghorbani.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I understand the importance of sourcing and will remove any parts of the article that are not supported by reliable sources. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a look at the draft again. Instead of rejecting it, could you please help modify or suggest changes that would make it suitable for publication? Your guidance would be invaluable in ensuring that the article meets Wikipedia's standards.
Thank you in advance for your support. Neginghaderii (talk) 13:02, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
As you have been told elsewhere, your "unique perspective" is if anything a hindrance to writing an acceptable Wikipedia article. Almost nothing from the writer is relevant to a Wikipedia article they write: not their knowledge, not their beliefs, not their preferences, not their perspective. Their background understanding of the subject or the context may sometimes be of value.
The writer's job is to write a clear, neutral summary of what all the significant independent reliable sources say about the subject, nothing more. Note that sometimes this may include summarising statements that the writer profoundly disagrees with. ColinFine (talk) 18:28, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi, Yes, sure, I will remove the parts that need to be changed. Could you also suggest which other parts should be removed or adjusted to ensure the article meets the necessary standards and is accepted? Your guidance would be very helpful.
Thank you! 92.54.250.108 (talk) 06:32, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

08:01, 12 August 2024 review of submission by Tsurielsdomi

edit

Olá, Já falei aqui recentemente sobre o meu artigo sobre TSURIEL SDOMI (Eu NÃO sou Tsuriel Sdomi, ele é meu professor e que permitiu eu escrevesse sobre ele e usar as imagens). O artigo foi recusado, porém, eu li o manual de iniciantes e fiz tudo, acredito eu, coloquei referencias, livros e mesmo assim foi recusado. Acredito que não estou sabendo fazer isso, porque no meu ponto de vista está correto, com referência, linguagem apropriada e neutra. Alguém poderia me ajudar dizendo que seria necessário para eu ser aceito?

@DoubleGrazing what @Tsurielsdomi said, albeit in the Brazil variant of Portuguese was:
Hello, I have recently written about my article about TSURIEL SDOMI (I am NOT Tsuriel Sdomi, he is my teacher and he allowed me to write about him and use the images). The article was rejected, however, I read the beginners' manual and did everything, I believe, I included references, books and it was still rejected. I believe I am not knowing how to do this, because in my point of view it is correct, with references, appropriate and neutral language. Could someone help me by telling me what would be necessary for me to be accepted?

Hi,
I apologize for the confusion. I assumed the text would be automatically translated into English.
I asked Mr. Tsuriel Sdomi to draft the email as Wikipedia suggested, in order to grant me the rights to the images. However, I now realize that I need to change the username first, and I'm unable to do that myself since only a verified user can make such changes. Could you assist me with this?
When I created the account, I mistakenly used Mr. Sdomi’s name as the username. I would like to change it to "JoaoDavid," which is my name. Is this possible?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Joao David Silva Tsurielsdomi (talk) 17:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello, Joao. You can ask to change your username at WP:CHU/
Images will not affect in any way whether your draft is accepted or not, so I advise you to stop paying any attention to images until you have got the draft reviewed and accepted.
Your job as a writer of an article (a very challenging task, which like many new editors you have taken on before spending time learning the basics about editing Wikipedia) is to find reliable independent sources about Sdomi (I recommend evaluating every source against the triple criteria in WP:42), and then forget everything that you personally know about him and write a summary of what those sources say.
Wikipedia is not interested in what you know, or what he says (or what any of his associates say): it is only interested in what people who have no connection to him have published about him. ColinFine (talk) 18:34, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you ColinFine, I have asked for the change.
I wanted to write about him because he is someone very significant in the city, I am not so close to him, I knew him before start being is art student and I think he is someone who desire to be known worldwide.
About his private life and work and Studies I asked him, but the rest is all from trustable sources that I found online, and I put as sources, and it was not accepted.
But yes, I will have a look at WP:42 as you mentioned.
Thank you very much for your time and attention
Joao Silva Tsurielsdomi (talk) 19:28, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
The only thing that there is any point in asking the subject about is where you can find independent sources which are about him. Nothing he says should go in the article unless it is backed up by a reliable published sources - and unless it is uncontroversial factual data like places and dates, only from an independent sources.
Neither his desire to be known worldwide, nor your desire for him to be known worldwide, is of any relevance to Wikipedia, and if you have those desires in your mind then you are engaged in promotion. ColinFine (talk) 21:51, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

08:00, 13 August 2024 review of submission by Rustberg

edit

I hired a company to create this Wikipage for me many months ago. It contains errors the company has not corrected in addition to sources that were declined. I would like to try a pass at doing this myself after carefully reading the suggested guidelines for citations. Before I do so, I want to know is it ok to work with this same doc or should I start a new one? Rustberg (talk) 08:00, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Rustberg: Six of one, half-dozen of the other. Doing it clean may be the better option, especially if you're not familiar with assessing sources yet. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 08:10, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your reply. I assume it is a gradual process with several drafts? Or do people who read all the guidelines generally get it right in one pass? Rustberg (talk) 08:16, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Rustberg A paid editor should be capable of creating a draft that is acceptable after a maximum of two submission for review in my opinion. I hope you didn't pay the bill. Please also see WP:SCAM in case they were of that nature. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:27, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Rustberg: your paid editors should have disclosed that they were paid, but I don't see such a disclosure anywhere?
You also need to be aware that we strongly discourage autobiographies, see WP:AUTOBIO. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:13, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes I heard that before about autobiographies. Nevertheless, all my colleagues have Wikipages and find them useful. I'm always asked why I don't have one. Rustberg (talk) 08:18, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Rustberg Your colleagues don't "have" anything. Wikipedia has articles about them. We don't have "pages" here, we have articles. (an article is a page but not every page is an article). Also see other stuff exists- each draft or article is judged on its own merits, not based on the presence of other articles that themselves may be inappropriate and just not addressed yet on this volunteer project.
To be very frank, Wikipedia has no interest in whether the subject of an article finds its presence to be useful- our only goal here is to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about the topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person, more specifically in this case, a a notable composer.
Be advised that an article about yourself is not necessarily a good thing. There are good reasons to not want one. 331dot (talk) 08:32, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I actually appreciate your reply and this information. I need to think about it. Thank you. Rustberg (talk) 08:35, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Rustberg: this may seem like a hair-splitting comment, but I'll make it anyway. Your colleagues don't have articles in Wikipedia (or 'Wikipages', as you put it). There may be articles about them in Wikipedia, but they are not 'theirs' in any sense of the word. The reason I make this distinction is so that you are aware from the outset that you have no control over this article once (if) it is published: anyone can edit it within our guidelines and policies, including adding information (appropriately referenced) that you might prefer not to be included there. This is one of the reasons why an article about you may not always be a good thing. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:33, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for pointing this out this distinction. And for pointing out that once published, I would have no voice in other people adding to it. I never noticed that as an issue in other composer pages, so it didn't occur to me. Rustberg (talk) 09:17, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Rustberg: without knowing what those other articles are, I can't investigate their provenance, but it's perfectly possible that they were created, and/or have been subsequently edited, by editors with conflicts of interest, who weren't aware of the conflict-of-interest guidelines. With nearly 7m articles, and more being constantly added, things do occasionally slip by us, and older articles in particular may have been created under altogether different rules. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:31, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

10:14, 13 August 2024 review of submission by TNM101

edit

I have a question. The article JSS Private School is approved by wikipedia, however, when I wanted to publish my article on JSS International School, it was declined. I took a look at the sources used in the JSS Private School article, and they are pretty much the same sources used by me. If the same sources establish notability for that article, why doesn't it for mine? TNM101 (talk) 10:14, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@TNM101: thank you for flagging up JSS Private School. Its sources do not establish notability, and I have tagged it accordingly. (That article is over 10 years old, and may have been created when our review processes and/or notability requirements were more relaxed.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:20, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ok so both the articles are not good enough for wikipedia right? TNM101 (talk) 10:28, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@TNM101: that's right, at least on the face of it. The subtle difference is that, in order to be accepted, a draft needs to show that sources exist which prove notability. (Yours currently doesn't, and therefore has been declined.) Whereas for an article already existing in the encyclopaedia, where the current sources do not prove notability, in order to propose its deletion one must first carry out a search to see if more and better sources exist elsewhere, which could be used to establish notability. In other words, the burden of proof is reversed. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:38, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks a lot for the explanation and for giving your valuable time for answering my question TNM101 (talk) 10:40, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

while environment is a matter of great concern, there are not many writers in this realm. dr prithi has been doing considerable work and has all the merits to be known to a wider audience. 183.83.146.106 (talk) 10:17, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for sharing. That isn't a question – did you have one in mind? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:22, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm afraid that none of the no-doubt estimable things you say about Prithi above are of any direct relevance to Wikipedia. Notability is a fundamental concept in Wikipedia, and is different from any of fame, importance, popularity, influence, creativity, or innovation, though it often goes with some of those.
In short it is the answer to the question "Has enough independent reliably published material been published about the subject to base an article on?" Nothing written, published, or commissioned by the subject or their associates counts toward this, and nor does anything based on an interview or press release from the subject or their associates.
You should evaluate every source you are contemplating using against the triple criteria in WP:42. If it does not meet all three criteria, then it cannot contribute to establishing notability, and without notability, nobody can successfully write an article.
remember that Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

Unless you can find several sources which all meet the triple criteria of being reliable, independent, and containing significant coverage of the subject (see WP:42) then you will be unable to establish that the subject is notable in Wikipedia's sense. and every minute you spend or have spent on trying to write about it will be time wasted.

Why, therefore, specifically, was the article rejected?

@Phenomenon 10: the referencing doesn't sufficiently support the draft contents, with some of information either unreferenced or referenced with citations that don't actually reliably verify it. Many of the sources also seem to be primary, which is probably why the reviewer felt they didn't establish notability.

That the reviewer did not tell you what you want to hear does not mean that they have a personal bias against you.
You have not demonstrated that you are notable as Wikipedia uses the word. A runner up to a youth competition is not likely to draw the significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Again, I advise you to abandon this effort. Typically, articles are written by independent editors, not the subject themselves. That's the best indicator of notability- a person trying to force the issue and do it themselves is not usually successful- I've never seen it happen in my many years here(though it probably has, it is rare if it does). 331dot (talk) 23:02, 14 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I'll go back 2 months when I first posted it. I posted links to the reports of the tournaments and stuff like that, then someone told me that references should be independent media, so I posted the two that were there already, but then someone told me they need 3, so 1 more.
Last month, a main Stuttgart media wrote an article about me (source no. 1 in the draft), so I added it and resubmitted. The same editor who had in the first place approved the other 2 articles, jumped in to say that they don't approve them now. So they were contradicting themselves. Then the personally biased CFA jumped in and refused to review it, rejecting it directly.
Anyway, since then, a further achievement has been added to the draft, and a further 3 media reporting about the subject. This was added to the draft and a new one was created to be submitted. CFA was quick to decline it, stating as a reason "No improvements since last decline at Draft:Kalin Stefanov (backgammon_player).".
However, if you look at it, you will notice that a whole paragraph was added reporting on the recently achieved mastership title, with the 3 new independent media reporting about the latter, and also the Bulgarian news agency, which had in the past already reported on the subject's successes, so was already in the sources.
So basically, if you look at it, you will see that the editors' comments just don't agree with reality. Kalinators (talk) 23:09, 14 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

The reviewer who rejected the draft stated "No improvements since last decline". This was not true, as additional information about the subject, plus additional multiple independent media reports about the subject, were added. Additionally, 2 months ago, in the first review, I was told that as soon as 3 independent media have reported about the subject, it will be approved. Furthermore, an editor who approved 2 sources in the first review, came back to review the updated draft as soon as the 3rd source was added, and rejected it because apparently the sources he had approved before, were not good enough. He also stated that a main Stuttgart newspaper is not independent, clearly untrue. We come to now, when the draft has 6 independent media reports, plus a few additional links which prove factuality. All this comes to show that that the review was improper or violated policy, so I kindly ask for a consensus that the review was improper or violated policy.

You have not said which policies were violated.

Yet another reason why editing about yourself is problematic- it's difficult to hear criticism of your own work when its about you. 331dot (talk) 11:49, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
There was no valid reason for the decline listed. The reason listed was "no improvements since last decline", which was visibly untrue, as I clarified that additional information about the subject, plus additional multiple independent media reports about the subject, were added. Unfortunately I cannot show you the discussion from 2 months ago, but I remember that it was @DoubleGrazing and @Qcne both saying that, after approving 2 media reports, the response from both was "Ok, we have two, so we need one more and then it will be approved". Later on, Double grazing was the first to reject it, contradicting his own comments from before while stating that the initial 2 media were not good, adding that the third one, a main Stuttgart newspaper, is not independent, again, clearly untrue.

If (purely for the sake of the argument) you have two acceptable sources and we say that's not enough, it doesn't mean that if more are added then the draft must be accepted. Especially as you seem to have a rather fundamental misunderstanding of what is an acceptable source. (And I really can't be bothered to go yet another round over the sources.)
The bottom line is, you can wikilawyer about this all you want, but it doesn't suddenly make a rejected draft about a non-notable subject appear in the encyclopaedia. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:03, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
What I am saying is that you once said that source X and source Y are good, but one more is needed. Then, once another was added, you backed off saying that source X and source Y are not good. This is a clearly not neutral review, as if it were, you wouldn't contradict yourself. The article is about a notable subject, clearly proven. Kalinators (talk) 12:12, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
No, it's not- a runner up (i.e. someone who did not win) a youth competition in a niche gaming event is not getting the coverage needed for an article- which must go beyond merely documenting your activities. You gravely misunderstand "neutral" as well as what it is we do here in general. You are just wasting your time at this point and I highly advise you to abandon this effort voluntarily before you are forced to with a block. 331dot (talk) 12:44, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

To clarify, your boss will fire you after I report your activities to him.
The article MUST and WILL be on wikipedia. So, you meet world youth runners-up every day on the street?
It is not a "niche gaming event", whatever this means, it is a world championship. I know you are envious, but sorry, not everyone can go to a final of a world championship. As I said and you know, the media will not report my credit card number or stuff like that, they can only report my activities and achievements.

Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.

@ArtInspiration4all: An alternate method is to not create a new article at all and use the edit request wizard instead to specify what information and sources be added to an existing article on a related topic, such as Akiane#Prince of Peace. Then, if the topic gains more coverage later on, it can eventually be split or spun-off into its own article.

Hi - yes I messaged @Jamiebuba and he archived my message without responding. Have you actually read the sources?

The first few sources mention Wildlife Works, but do not say very much about it - they are about individuals associated with it. I haven't looked further, but if they are all like that then you have not provided the requisite set of reliable independent sources with significant coverage of the subject to establish that the company is notable in Wikipedia's sense. See WP:42 for the criteria which every source must pass in order to contribute to establishing notability. ColinFine (talk) 09:44, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I am reaching out because I do not think the reasoning given for declining this submission came from a genuine place.

Jimboson (talk) 18:56, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Jimboson The reason given was a paucity of correct referencing. That someone is one of the most well-known rabbis of the past 200 years is neither here nor there, because the references do not show it. If he is that well known, please find references which meet the statement in the decline notice.
On another matter, "I do not think the reasoning given for declining this submission came from a genuine place." is not appropriate. You, we, any editor at all, are required to assume good faith at all times. Instead of expressing this thought you might have held your peace. This is a lack of civility and is likely to make some excellent reviewers think twice about reviewing this draft. This is shooting yourself in the foot.

Neither "genuine" nor "popular" is of any relevance to determining notability as Wikipedia means it: this is basically, "Is there enough reliable independent material available to base an article on?", remembering that Wikipedia has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources.

EDIT: Uh, nevermind I guess I passed review so I guess my sources were ok? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Urchincrawler (talkcontribs) 04:17, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I'm working on this draft, but it's the first article I've created that's medicine related. I tried to use reliable sources (NHS, stuff from PubMed, NIH, etc.), but there are some cases where I used non medical sources. In the history section, I used a law journal, in the advocacy section I linked to some advocacy groups to prove that advocacy supported those positions, and in the nomenclature section I provided some arguments on why parents of intersex people may prefer DSD using a paper writing by a professor with an interest in intersex topics. Is that ok? Or do all sources have to be medical even for more historical and social info?


Additionally, I was wondering if more local government health departments would be acceptable sources, or does it have to be strictly national sources like the NHS and CDC. For example, I used a document from the State of Victoria Department of Health and Human Services. Is that ok?

Ultimately I'd just really appreciate if someone could take a quick look through my sources since I want to make sure it's up to par. Thanks.
