Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Terry Lewis - OMB Investigator
Hi,

I am wanting to know why the article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Terry_Lewis_-_OMB_Investigator) was declined. To what extent am I able to use court cases to substantiate the Notability and Reliability requirements? May affidavits in appellate court cases be used as source documents?

Thanks, Thepasta (talk) 02:30, 28 January 2014 (UTC)


 * The submission was declined for the reasons given in and below the pink box on the submission page. The extent to which court cases and affidavits can be used to prove notability is very limited. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 09:47, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Your submission name here
I eliminated 4, 5 articles because they were not considered as reliable sources. I've been looking for substitute articles but I can't find them any. What should I do? Should I cut some sentence?

 * This submission is currently awaiting review. I would note that Microsoft and Intel partnership information does not constitute significant or independent coverage and thus is not useful for proving the notability of an individual. Likewise, Facebook and LinkedIn are not generally considered independent reliable sources. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 09:29, 28 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Respected Administrator Arthur goes shopping, I am reading Wikipedia since last 7 years and I read many articles on companies, people & other and saw these type of links as references. I hope you will get some time to check article which I have written visit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PradeepChowdhury/sandbox. WR :) PradeepChowdhury (talk) 09:59, 28 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I am not an administrator. And yes, I have just checked that article submission. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 10:18, 28 January 2014 (UTC)


 * OK talk, I thought you are a Administrator no problem. I am reading Wikipedia since last 7 years and I read many articles on companies, people & other and saw these type of links as references. WR :) PradeepChowdhury (talk) 12:00, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/KATELE KALUMBA
DELETING AN ARTICLE ON ACCOUNT OF AMBIQUITY AND FROM A PERSONAL BLOG

Your response to my inquiry on how to recast the "Bwile people project" was the least helpful. It was an inselberg of ambiquity itself. What were you really saying? Was the content not well written that it was incomprehensible? Was it not well formatted in reference to WikipediA standards? Was the subject irrelevant or not worthy of being in the public domain for further debate? Please clarify? You certainly realized that it was not infringing any copyright issues and resorted to less than convincing argument that blog sources are unreliable? What is the criteria? Verifiable, yes, I agree. I write my own blog and provide citations where necessary. You cannot verify that? Your guidelines on how to secure blog posts for WikipediA donation require clarity. Not all your contributors, let alone readers are first English language breeds. Simplify to publicize. May I add the jargon used in WikipediA responses is very clever indeed. It could do with a bit of appreciation of Virginia Woolf's (1889-1941) frustration with James Joyce, no offence, just advice. --KAKA MSIMANGO (talk) 07:05, 28 January 2014 (UTC)KAKA


 * I have seen no evidence that any Wikipedia editor "certainly realized that it was not infringing any copyright issues". And that is why it was deleted - clear and simple. Until you follow the instructions linked for you on your talk page, the material cannot remain anywhere on the Wikipedia website. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 09:44, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jassim Haji
I was asked to provide more references to prove the notability of the article, I have added the PhD research done by Dr Haji which was published. But I already provided 22 references from wide range of online news sites, local newspapers and magazines. I don’t understand how come this is not enough. I couldn’t upload a photo linked to this article because the article is still under review. I found some wiki articles with hardly any references but they are in the production site. Please help me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samer_Majali http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jassim_Mohammed_Haji

 * The reason for being declined was given in the pink box at the top of the AFC draft. A subsequent editor deleted that feedback, but I've added it back for you. I have also converted the URL in your question to a wikilink. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:39, 28 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, I know it's absurd that the system doesn't post the reason on your talkpage also; as a frequent reviewer I've been asking for this for 2 years now, but the people who do the programming for the process have refused to do it, as they think it unnecessary.Possibly complaints like your's will show that it would help the actual contributors.
 * But it's also true that the message that was posted doesn't say anything specific. just refers to one of the more complicated gudielines. I leave it to those here who work on music articles to give some advice about what would be needed.  DGG ( talk ) 19:43, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ՄԵԼԳՈՆԵԱՆ ԿՐԹԱԿԱՆ ՀԱՍՏԱՏՈՒԹԻՒՆԸ
Why was my article declined ? Raffiipdjian (talk) 18:46, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The reason is given at the top of the draft at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Մելգոնեան կրթական հաստատութիւնը. That is, it is not written in English. This is the English Wikipedia. If you are able to do so, you can translate the article into English. Otherwise, you may go to the Armenian Wikipedia. --User:Anon126 (talk - contribs) 22:47, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Kevin Hogan politician
Hi, I have attempted to update the profile of Australian politician Kevin Hogan twice. Once by doing a straight edit on his profile page, and once by submitting it to an editor. Both versions were fully attributed with verifiable links to respected webpages, including Wikipedia. However, in both instances they were rejected and I still don't understand why. Could you please tell me how I can update this post. many thanks, peter KevinhoganpageMP (talk) 23:43, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The way to do it, is by suggesting the edits that you want to make on the talk page of the article, Kevin Hogan (politician). Then add the template  t after the text you would like to add. Someone will come around to check it and add it if it is appropriate, and if you have  reliable published sources for the information.   Based on your user name, you have obvious conflict of interest, and should not edit the article directly.     DGG ( talk ) 19:48, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
