02:13:53, 2 November 2018 review of submission by Scwiki3
Hello,

I submitted the Global Wireless Solutions draft, which was declined by User: K.e.coffman. The two reasons cited were it "appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia" and it "does not show significant coverage". In regards to the first point, I have worked heavily on removing all advertising language from the page. User: K.e.coffman stated in his talk page that the "Product and Services" section has advertising language, however I wrote it to simply explain the significant service of the company, which is wireless network benchmarking. I am more than happy to remove any language that sounds promotional, as this is most definitely not the aim of the Wiki page. In regards to the point of a lack of significance in the press. Global Wireless Solutions is widely regarded as the leading firm in the wireless benchmarking industry and has been covered in the press hundreds of times. Furthermore, smaller and less notable benchmarking firms, such as RootMetrics and OpenSignal, have Wikipedia pages, which at the very least makes a case for the significance of Global Wireless Solutions and how it is fitting to have a Wikipedia page. Please let me know what I can do to resolve the issues outlined and make the page suitable for publishing.

Thank you,

 * What you think is explaining the significance of the product is the problematic language. A basic description is sufficient. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 14:32, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

 * The subject of the article is not notable. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 14:36, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * In other words, you should not use Wikipedia to promote yourself, just like I don't write about myself here but focus on notable topics. Legacypac (talk) 16:10, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

I don't dispute the rejection of this article but the rejection does raise a point of principle.

The Croatian version of Wikipedia has an entry for Sonia Bicanic which can be machine translated into English. The results are dire and friends of Dr Bicanic asked me to see if a more acceptable English language version could be made available. I put this to your response team and received a prompt and helpful reply (Re: [Ticket#2018102310005506] Croatian Article: Sonia Bicanic). The only way forward seemed to be to create an entry for the English language version of Wikipedia. I was cautioned that any version I produced might not meet the acceptance standards, which indeed proved to be the case.

Is there any other way of ensuring that someone searching Wikipedia for Sonia Bicanic can end up with a result in acceptable English?

I shall see if the current article can be improved but I am not hopeful that better sources of information exist. However, I found putting the article together quite interesting.

 * The issue of content of different Wikipedia's matching up is significant, I had the Wikidata people run some tests and found that there are over 20,000 topics on the Icelandic Wikipedia that are not on the English Wikipedia version. Ignoring that problem for now I have approved the draft. I think it has a decent chance of not being deleted, she was given an OBE award and important awards generally count towards importance. The article is not promotional or unsourced and frankly better than 90% of the drafts that I see in the queue. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 16:12, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

In spring of 2018, I posted this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:A._Gabriel_Esteban for review because I have a conflict. Apparently, I posted it in the wrong place. I'm not sure if it is in the right place now to get in line for review, and I'm not sure how to move it -- just cut and paste? This is Asian Month at Wikipedia and this entry is about a prominent Asian-American. Can you help? Thanks!Denise Mattson (talk) 16:46, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Don't copy and paste! Never copy and paste, if you must move an article then use the pagemove interface. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 16:55, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

I have provided references from newspapers about the subject Noel Cassidy and the article has been turned down after waiting months. There is also videos from live TV shows from Irish TV and also An independent radio station called Shannonside

would you be able to tell me why I am unable to submit my latest article for review. I am a little confused as I thought I was a auto confirmed user

 * Hello Vrglab, welcome to Wikipedia. Your draft doesn't show how the subject is notable since there aren't any references (see WP:RS and WP:YFA). You need to establish that the subject is notable by inserting sources from reliable media (newspapers, books, etc) that are independent of the subject and more than passing mentions. You didn't do that at all and your draft was rejected and will be rejected again until you can insert said sources. If you can't find sources for it it means (as is the case) that the subject is non notable. You are free to work on existing articles on subjects that you like or write about a notable topic.

 * Hi, I reviewed the draft and rejected it for the reasons above. See WP:GNG and WP:V for more. I sent you an invitation to join WikiProjects: Video Games so you can edit some existing articles on topics you like. Thank you for reaching out. JC7V -talk  21:56, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
