02:56:09, 3 July 2014 review of submission by Khan.207
Khan.207 (talk) 02:56, 3 July 2014 (UTC) I am trying to submit an article regarding Jawaid Akhtar Pasha, Urdu author. It was rejected due to lack of verifiable resources. I have hard copy documents that can verify all the information included in my article. However, this information is not available electronically, because it is in Urdu, is old or not many copies are available. How can I proceed so that the important work of a well known Urdu scholar can be included on wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khan.207 (talk • contribs)
 * As the reviewer noted on your draft, you lack any independent and reliable sources to establish notability. Further, some of the text has been copied from www.jawaidakhtarpasha.com/, which is not allowed. Wikipedia does not use self-published sources. Sources don't have to be online; You can cite newspapers, magazines, and books if you provide the title, author, name of the publication, date of publication, etc. Sources don't have to be in English either, although I personally refuse to accept articles if I can't read the source material. (I don't read Urdu.) Since this person is living, you'll have to use in-line citations. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 03:02, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

I really don't understand this gibberish. Can anyone tell my why my wiki page was declined? Was it because of the external link? Edwengineering (talk) 06:14, 3 July 2014 (UTC)


 * There will be an answer on the draft shortly. Fiddle   Faddle  07:23, 3 July 2014 (UTC)


 * ✅ But your initial message did not endear you to me, and I nearly ignored you. This is not a business, this is run by volunteers. Try to be less confrontational when you ask for help. It gets you better help. Fiddle   Faddle  07:27, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Oh, I did not mean any disrespect. It is just all these brackets are confusing and I did not know if my message was even going out. So we can't describe a business on Wikipedia?
 * A notable business, yes. An advert for it, no. Your own business is WP:COI, so not really, no. And not with that username, I fear. Fiddle   Faddle  07:49, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Message for Timtrent, sorry if I'm not posting this in the right place.

Dear Tim,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I hope you get this message as I still haven't found a straightforward way of contacting you!! I don't want to state that Mr Weisbrodt is gay within the article. I find it inappropriate and unnecessary. I don't like to categorise people in this way and I felt uncomfortable about putting it in the Catebories box to be honest, although I can see this info might be interesting/helpful to some readers. I was wondering if you would accept putting the reference in the External Links section, they've done something similar in the Rufus Wainwright's Wiki entry with regard to some information that was not contained in the article itself. If this is not acceptable to you I'd rather remove the references to Mr Weisbrodt's sexuality from the Categories box.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Lulu 09:55, 3 July 2014 (UTC)


 * ✅ ✅. Now it must take its chance in the hurly burly that is WIkipedia. On to your next article! Fiddle   Faddle  11:32, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Made for Movement (talk) 11:57, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi need to know why my article was not approved. If there is any chances I can do to get it approved, I would like to know.


 * Have you visited User:Made for Movement/sandbox where the reviewer has left a succinct comment? You have also created Draft:Made for Movmement. Please work on only one of these.
 * If you need someone to expand on the rationale for not accepting the draft please come back here and ask in this thread, or enter into a conversation with the reviewer who declined the article. Their rationale seems sound to me. Fiddle   Faddle  12:44, 3 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I have moved your most current version to Draft:Made for Movmement; please make all your edits there, don't create multiple copies. I have left clear comments at the top of the page. MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:26, 3 July 2014 (UTC)


 * And I've redirected the third iteration of the draft to the same. Bellerophon talk to me  22:53, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Your submission has no independent and reliable sources. You only have links to that company's website, which is not allowed.  Also, "Division" doesn't have any claim to organizational notability. Articles about businesses have to be neutral, about notable subjects, and well-sourced.  You also cannot use Wikipedia to advertise.  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 21:36, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

This submission appears to be taken from http://blog.thefutonshop.com/2011/09/history-of-futon-shop.html. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. We cannot accept copyrighted content taken from websites or printed sources. Note that copyright protection is granted to all works automatically, whether it is asserted or not. Unless stated otherwise, assume that most content on the internet is copyrighted and not suitable for publishing on Wikipedia. Copyrighted content can be cited as a reliable source if it meets Wikipedia's guidelines; however, your submission must be written in your own words, and in continuous prose.

We run http://blog.thefutonshop.com/2011/09/history-of-futon-shop.html. I wrote that so how is it copyright infringement? If you mean duplicate content than that is another issue.

How do I fix this problem? Can I use this text being that I wrote it? Or can I reference it in a more accurate way?

Do you need me to rewrite it all because of duplicate content?

Thefutonshop (talk) 22:55, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Please be aware that Wikipedia is not here to advertise for you. Your submission has to assert some notability and that can't be done by citing that company's own website. While I recommend you re-write that content in your own words, you could donate that text to Wikipedia which would eliminate the copyright issue. I'm not sure why this wasn't addressed before, but your username is in violation of our policy plus you obviously have a conflict of interest. Please read WP:FIRST and perhaps learn about editing Wikipedia before you continue. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 23:37, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

23:39:22, 3 July 2014 review of submission by Lauriemonk
I don't understand why the article has not been accepted. I contacted help desk and they advised me of the changes I needed to make, which I did. Can you advise me what it is that is missing that will get this article accepted? Lauriemonk (talk) 23:39, 3 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Seems notable through her association with Seven the Hardway. Needs copy editing for neutrality, but after three declines on notability grounds, I see no point in dragging this out any further. It's in the main space. You may continue to improve it there. Bellerophon talk to me  06:44, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
