Request on 00:09:17, 13 April 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Chazzcity

edit


I would like to add references to the article in order to verify the information in the article

Chazzcity (talk) 00:09, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  Question: Is the article you are referring to the Alex Kyza draft? If so, you will have to do some research and find reliable, independent (third-party) sources that discuss the subject in significant detail. Follow the links in the message to learn about what sorts of references are considered reliable and independent on Wikipedia. Once you've found suitable references, add inline citations to the draft so that readers know which statements are supported by which references. Thanks, wia (talk) 00:18, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am having issues making this draft page I created, go live - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Girl_Asleep_(film) The film is certainly noteworthy and worthy of Wikipedia inclusion. As I am a very green user of Wikipedia, can someone correctly format the references on this page for me please so it can go live asap? References worth including: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/entertainment/arts/tilda-cobham-hervey-and-imogen-archer-reunite-for-new-film-version-of-windmill-theatres-girl-asleep/story-fni6um7a-1227161603582 http://if.com.au/2014/12/18/article/52-Tuesdays-duo-reunites-for-Girl-Asleep/XFGSHCWMZS.html Thanks Adam

@Adamross01: Hi Adam, I've formatted the references for you. The draft doesn't have a realistic chance of going live any time soon. Per WP:NFF, "films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable." While you wait for the release in October, please edit the text so that sentences don't copy or closely paraphrase the sources, which is not allowed.

Dear, I would like to add a picture for Mr. Dean Constantin with the related caption (as referred within the draft). I am experiencing a problem and your kind help will be greatly appreciated. Your sincerely, Emma

@2001:7E8:C0D2:8301:289E:2589:EBA2:339B and Emma Stanley: The photograph you are trying to use it copyrighted by "© E33Motion Pictures and Film". Wikipedia can only use images that are licensed under a compatible free license. If the only images you can find of this person are copyrighted (and most images on the internet, unless specifically labeled otherwise, are under copyright), then you should just leave the picture out of the article. The lack of a picture won't make your article any less likely to be accepted. --Ahecht (TALK

I am wondering why this article was not approved. I don't believe it sounds like an advertisement. I am not part of this company and I am completely impartial. Why does this article sound like an advertisement? Jnorman15 (talk) 18:00, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jnorman15:, I'm not the reviewer, but some content from the "History" section sounds slightly promotional to me. In particular, the sentences "It first opened its doors in Richmond Hill in January of 2005. It is currently located on 8054 Yonge Street in old Thornhill. The clinic was established with the goal of professional, timely, and efficient patient care to anyone in need" need a bit of work. "It first opened its doors" is familiar language and should probably be replaced by "It opened". "It is currently located on 8054 Yonge Street in old Thornhill" does not need to be in the body of the encyclopedia; perhaps you can add an infobox to the article and put the address there. And finally, the statement about "professional, timely, and efficient patient care to anyone in need" reads like promotion, since there is no reference to support it and because the language chosen is buzzword-y. Don't all clinics strive to offer professional, timely and efficient care, after all? wia (talk) 12:00, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am no programmer, and trying to communicate with you this way is hard for me. I am username kimoller, in fact D. Kimbrough Oller, Professor at the University of Memphis, and previous author of two wikipedia articles, one of which seems to be in fine shape, the other of which apparently needs some corrections, which I will try to do in the next month. I have just completed a new draft article on Burton D. Carley, who is an extremely prominent American clergyman of the denomination of Unitarian Universalism (see Wikipedia article). For 32 years he has pastored the Church of the River (First Unitarian Church of Memphis)(see Wikipedia article), and all along has played a nationally and internationally significant role in the denomination, which traces its history to the Reformation in central Europe (Romania, Hungary, Poland), and has been a very significant denomination in American history (Presidents John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Millard Fillmore, and William Howard Taft for example were Unitarians). Other famous Unitarians were Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. The denomination is small by comparison with Baptists for example, but extremely influential as you can see by the list of prominent players, which incidentally goes on and on.

Burton D. Carley's national profile may be best illustrated in the fact that he was selected as the lead player in the formulation of the curriculum (titled " Whose Are We? Manual of the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association") that is now used to train ministers and lay leaders in Unitarian Universalism. He developed this curriculum in collaboration with the Rev. Dr. Laurel Hallman, minister emerita of the First Unitarian Church of Dallas. Carley also trained the facilitators of the program. They also created a lay version of the curriculum for congregational use, and presented a program on it for the 2011 General Assembly of Unitarian Universalism. Together Carley and Hallman edited "Not for Ourselves Alone: Theological Essays on Relationship, Skinner House Books, Boston, 2014." All these facts can easily be verified with materials posted online by Unitarian Universalist Society and Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association. many of his sermons, prayers and poems are available also online. Being an academic, not a clergyman myself, I am not sure what the best references would be to make these points more verifiable. Could you advise me please?

@141.225.96.232 and Kimoller: Thanks for your submission. The problem with the article is that Wikipedia policy on biographies requires that you show that the subject of the biography has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article. This means that you generally would need to cite multiple examples of a reliable source unaffiliated with Mr. Carley or his church, writing about the person. For example, if his writings are widely cited by his peers, adding examples of specific citations to the article would probably be sufficient. --Ahecht (TALK

I am writing to request help on inserting a gallery on the page for "Joe Stickley," a local St. Louis musician. I entered the .jpg filenames from my desktop, but have a feeling I am doing it wrong. The pictures do not show up on the preview page, but the file names do.

@ADWilson33: If these are images which you took yourself or which have been released under a compatible free license, you can upload them to Wikipedia by following the instructions at WP:UPI. Once they have been uploaded, you can use them in the article. --Ahecht (TALK

Hello there. My suspicion is that the article submitted requires additional notable sources. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Etna-research (talk) 23:20, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Etna-research: We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Your four existing references all require replacement with references that meet all of these criteria.. Limited deployment of primary sources such as the org's own web site are allowed. See WP:PRIMARY, but deploying that in {{Infobox school}} is a far better way. At present the draft would be susceptible to immediate nomination for one of the deletion processes were it in main namespace.
Trust our automatic contents generation. Please remove the hard coded 'contents' section.
I advise most strongly on a change of user name. Yours appears to represent an organisation, or to be promotional, or to be one used by more than one person. Such things are against our policy. Wikipedia:Changing username will assist you. Fiddle Faddle 06:04, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
