 * Hi @Otuọcha Not sure how you determine that the information about pet ducks is incorrect. I have added sources, and even referenced to wrinkle the duck page, which also states that pet ducks are a thing. But I am happy to add more references. I wanted to start by adding a paragraph about pet ducks under the main article of domestic ducks, before writing a free standing article about them. I am a newbie to Wikipedia, so any advice on how to get changes approved will be helpful. Melanie0815 (talk) 21:20, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello. Once more welcome to English Wikipedia. Here, we value article that clearly passed WP: GNG i.e any article that meets our general notability guideline (although there are many criteria). Well, we judge based on the sources presented and how reliable or informative they are. We rely on notable reliable sources like The Guardians, Vanguard News, The Washington Post, etc because of there editorial policies. For your addition to Pet Ducks. The reversion was because the sources presented was not able to convince me or any subsequent editor that they really exist. It did not pass WP: SIGCOV and only few poultry keeping up houses that wrote about it without a broad view. However, the sources you provided were never in any way explaining about the subject section. But remember something's can be notable anyway but we need sources that are reliable to make sure it's not original researches. One again, I will advice you read your welcome message & links to understand more of an online encyclopedia. All the best.   Otuọcha   (talk) 21:27, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
