16:14:14, 4 October 2015 review of submission by Libraryheather
Hello. This is my first article submission and it was not accepted because it didn't "adequately show the subject's notability". I'd like to try to improve this, but I'm a little confused. Could someone give me feedback on what part of notability, specifically, the article doesn't meet? For example, is the coverage not significant enough? Or are the secondary sources not considered reliable enough? Or something else? Thanks in advance for any help/feedback. I appreciate it.

 * It would appear the current references are not sufficient (from what I got from 's comment), and more independent sources are needed (news/books/magazines). -- Kethrus &#124;talk to me 17:49, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

I am a little uncertain about the correct philosophy for references for the above named article. Are references primarily to give credit for original work used in the article, or are they primarily as a source of more detailed information for the reader? In a case where there are many possible references such as verification of a new procedure should I show an exhaustive list or just one or two representative references? Is there a standard Wiki format for references? I have used the APS( American Physical Society) format which does not include titles. Thanks for the help.

 * Hi EE483597, references are primarily for verification, that the referenced statement or claim is not a figment of a WP contributor's imagination; secondarily they prove notability, that the subject deserves a place in WP. Being a source for further information is imho an incidental benefit, an "External links" or "Further reading" list is actually used for such material, however sources that are cited in the article are not repeated in "External links" or "Further reading". As far as the style of referencing is concerned, WP does not have a prescribed format, but it is indeed unusual not to actually include the article title in the citation. While members of the APS are familiar with that format, I'm not sure it's really user friendly for non-expert readers, which is the intended audience of WP. I think the folks at WP:WikiProject Physics are actually best able to assist you, I've always found them very helpful. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 23:18, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Request on 20:49:06, 4 October 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Sianirose
I am a scientist/executive in the Biotechnology industry with ~25 years experience. I wrote a Wikipedia page on the PREDIMED clinical trial, which I documented in my sandbox.

Since I'm not sure if you can see my sandbox, here is the first section of the page I generated: -- PREDIMED

The PREDIMED study [1] was a primary prevention feeding human clinical trial looking at the affect of Mediterranean diets on development of cardiovascular disease. The study followed the effect of different versions of the Mediterranean diet on men and women who were patients without Peripheral Artery Disease or cardiovascular disease, but with type 2 diabetes mellitus or at least three cardiovascular risk factors. These studies were conducted from 2003 - 2010 on a total of 7,435 patients, including both male (ages 55-80) and female (ages 60-80) patients. The patients were divided into three groups: (1) Mediterranean Diet with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (MeDiet+EVOO), (2) Mediterranean Diet with nuts (MeDiet+nuts) and (3) a Control diet (low in fat). Patients were each followed up to five years.

The study has resulted in significant insights into the effect of the Mediterranean diet on progression to Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) [2], to cognitive decline [3], and to the prevalence of breast cancer [4] as published in more than 160 peer-reviewed papers as of Oct 2015. -- It was rejected as a topic for wikipedia; I receive the following language from a reviewer: "This submission is not suitable for Wikipedia. Please read 'What Wikipedia is not' for more information."

I need some direction on how to change the content or how to understand why this is not appropriate. I consider this topic to be important regarding the prevention of cardiovascular disease. How is it different from a drug molecule that is explained on its own Wikipedia page?

Thank you, Mike

 * Hi Sianirose, I believe WikiProject Medicine is the best place for you to get assistance as the issue is about the subject matter of the draft. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:08, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi looking for some more help for my page draft:Lynne Reeves Griffin. I have improved the references but was still not approved due to a lack of "reliable sources" and not enough sources. If someone could please take a look and help me figure out what a reliable source would be besides the 10 articles in major newspapers that would be very helpful! Thanks! Goldencam (talk) 22:15, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Sources must be independent, and talk in depth about the subject (In this case - Lynne Reeves Griffin). See the golden rule and WP:Identifying reliable sources. -- Kethrus &#124;talk to me 09:26, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
