Teemah 24 (talk) 00:16, 23 August 2018 (UTC) I want to know how to delete a reference that has been included in an articleTeemah 24 (talk) 00:16, 23 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Teemah 24, this article, draft, redirect and sandbox have been the subject of an interesting mix of speedy delete reasons today. I currently believe no form of it remains active, but I could be wrong.


 * In any case, to delete a reference, go to edit, find the reference and delete everything (and including) within . Two things: 1) Be very careful not to delete the wrong reference, it can be easy to do 2) If you aren't editing your sandbox then you need to state a good reason that you've deleted the reference, in the edit summary.

 * I concur with your original reviewer's analysis. As well as there being no sources, making demonstration of anything within impossible, it does not appear that the club has received sufficient coverage or league ranking to be notable. There are also significant non-neutral statements within (calling the club awesome etc) that cannot remain if it is to be published. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:55, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Request on 12:38:36, 23 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by OMEHGA
As an independent artist with published music available on all digital platforms and a constantly growing social media following, I wanted to establish a Wikipedia page for myself to further substantiate my online presence.

 * Hi . What you describe is not a permissible use of Wikipedia. Unlike Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social networking sites, Wikipedia is not a place to write about yourself. It is an encyclopedia, and may not be used for marketing, promotion, or public relations. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:56, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi guys, Great to see your post at the bottom of the page. I've tried submitting my Wiki page twice and used a global bank as an example of how to write it, but it was rejected despite best attempts to watch videos and look to large corporates for best practice methodologies. Do you have a writer that could write it for me if I pay someone? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Lucienne

 * If you don't understand why language like, "It’s a global leader offering a full range of condition monitoring solutions ranging from sensors and accessories to plantwide monitoring systems" has no place in an encyclopedia entry, I'm not sure whether your critical facilities have been damaged by working in public relations, or whether you just don't understand the concept of neutral point of view. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  15:37, 23 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi . See WP:BFAQ. If multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources exist (think books, Financial Times, Handelsblatt, Harvard Business Review, and the like) that contain significant coverage (coverage not excluded by WP:CORPDEPTH) of Brüel & Kjær Vibro, then volunteers at Requested articles will happily write an article for free. Most companies do not satisfy Wikipedia's inclusion criteria, and should not be the subject of an encyclopedia article. Do not trust anyone who tells you they can create an article for money. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:44, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

I am requesting further assistance in publishing my draft for author & professor, Ardain Isma. I'm uninformed whether you have access to the draft, so I will leave a url of the page before going further into my request: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ardain_Isma I would like a further explanation as to how I can publish this draft. Which sources, if any, are acceptable and/or missing from this draft to increase credibility of the page? Also, how many more do I need for my revision? At first glance, I believe more neutral sources of Isma's works are required, correct? Thank you for your time, and I look forward to reading your response.

 * Hi . So to source an article about an author requires sources that satisfy two things. A book or books of the author, in detail, from impartial and critical sources. I would say you have covered that aspect well (known as WP:AUTHOR). You then need to demonstrate significant coverage, in reliable sources (most significant newspapers, books etc) about the person themselves.


 * Book reviews often contain a few lines about the author, but you need sources that discuss her in significant detail (at least a few paragraphs). 2 good sources is the usual amount (obviously, more is better). These sources should also let you provide a few specific references on the facts within the article. Remember, while primary texts (autobiographies or a personal website etc) can be used to support basic facts, they won't count towards the two reliable, detailed, sources you need.

I hope this helps, Nosebagbear (talk) 15:51, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi there,

I submitted the article a day or two ago. And immediately I see "Warning: This page should probably be located at Draft:Now) (move)." What does it mean? I clicked into the link and read about it but I am still not sure what does it mean...

Thank you so much for your time and help me!

Best, Jeanie

22:14:56, 23 August 2018 review of submission by Michael Yevtuck
Michael Yevtuck 22:14, 23 August 2018 (UTC) HI have no clue how to use wiki. inside the book I wrote there is some legal documents that prove I am who i say I am. I been around some of the most infamous People  in the world over many decades. I noticed under motorcycle clubs a whole bunch of useless individual names that really have nothing to do under some of the clubs they are listed under my name would fit there more people know of me then some off those name listed in wiki. Most of the stories on Biker clubs are incomplete or out right lies. I see no way of changing FALSE INFORMATION IN WIKI AND I HAVE NO intention of even trying. Fake media is impossible to stop when its & because those involved in fake media get involved with media just to spin facts. . I am far more well known then those people. I am, not looking to give my opinions on wiki. I just want wiki to validate I am who I am so i can write books. I been in new papers for decades from saving life to taking lifes. All Im looking to do is place a name page like an authors page. Thanks maybe you can help — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Yevtuck (talk • contribs) 22:14, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
