Hi there! This article was declined because it's regarded as an advertisement. Would you allow me to explain the purpose I had for this article?

The goal of this article: to have an up-to-date summary of a series of clinical trials to fight retinal eye disease. I think it's important for stakeholders in the medical and ophthalmological world to be up to date about these developments - the statuses of these clinical trials change every few months. Other scientists can build on these advancements. Not the goal of this article: to make people buy Oxurion's product, enroll in one of their clinical trials, ...In fact, updating the information here on Wikipedia gives people a reason to not visit Oxurion's website or subscribe to a newsletter. ;-)

Moreover, this new page is a new translation of this page in Dutch which has existed for years and has the same content: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxurion A similar German company, Aliaxis, has similar information on its Wikipedia-page: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliaxis

Could you please give me some advice on how to alter this article so that it wouldn't be regarded as an advertisement anymore?

Thanks in advance, have a great day,

Chiara

 * Thank you for disclosing your conflict of interest. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:03, 24 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Each language version of Wikipedia operates according to its own policies and guidelines, set by the community of editors who contribute there. So an article may satisfy the rules for the Dutch Wikipedia but not the English one, or vice versa.


 * Moreover, the existence of an article does not mean it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or that it should exist. So generally it isn't productive to compare a draft to other pages. The essay WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS may help you understand why. If you wish to learn from example articles, be sure to use only Wikipedia's best.


 * The bulk of any draft should be based on independent, reliable, secondary sources. The draft cites no such sources about Oxurion. The fact that it is traded on Euronext Brussels does not in and of itself make the company notable, but it makes it more likely that the necessary sources exist somewhere, perhaps in the pages of the Belgian business press. Given your conflict of interest and difficulty producing something that doesn't come across as corporate spam, I strongly urge you not to try to write the article yourself, but to follow the guidance at WP:BFAQ. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:35, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

my article was rejected by david moreno and i cannot seem to understand why this happened - please can you make it very clear as to why the article was rejected please Ayman2121 (talk) 14:02, 23 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi . The topic does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Most companies don't. See WP:BFAQ for more information. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:16, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello,

It is my first time creating an article with Wikipedia and I need some clarification on the process and struggles I have had. I created Draft:Steuart_Pittman which was taken down due to lack of citations, so I solved that issue by updating the page and including citations from various sources demonstrating why the public figure has generated enough coverage to have a Wikipedia page. I have since clarified in my profile that I am an employee of Anne Arundel County Government and am creating this page at their request, as they have previously done with other public county employees/elected officials. I have also submitted an email to the address for Wikipedia permissions regarding the copyright of the content on the following website: https://www.aacounty.org/departments/county-executive/bio/index.html I and Anne Arundel County Government permit others to use this material under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). The Wikipedia page that has been created for Steuart Pittman has our permission to use content the above website we have created. I was careful to ensure the Wikipedia page was worded differently than the bio on the county website and were found from other sources and covered different material, but as they are both bios of the same person it has been taken down for copyright, and we would like to ensure our county page gives permission to users to use that biography content and it is able to be used on Wikipedia. I wanted to check in first before I recreate the article or make any changes to ensure I am going about this process correctly and not violating any rules. I would greatly appreciate it if you could clarify this process for me and assist me in what my next steps should be. Thank you!

 * If I understand you correctly, you've initiated the procedure in WP:DONATETEXT, choosing not to put a license statement on https://www.aacounty.org/departments/county-executive/bio/index.html, but instead emailing permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Either way, you're giving everyone and anyone, not just Wikipedia, the right to reuse the text you license, including with modifications and for commercial purposes.


 * If you recreate Draft:Steuart Pittman, place OTRS pending on Draft talk:Steuart Pittman. So long as you do that, you should not have copyright problems if you use in the draft any of the text that you've licensed. An encyclopedia has a fundamentally different purpose than the county web page, so it's unlikely that you will be able to use much of the text fom there anyway. It sounds like you understand that you need to reference mainly reliable secondary sources that are independent of Pittman (e.g. not the county web site), although you may use the county web site as a source for a lesser portion of the draft. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:03, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

16:00:04, 23 April 2019 review of draft by Tha Maji
What did I do wrong? He is a real person, those sources are good, he has a decent career will plenty of connections? What is the problem? Is it because I am new? Did I mess up the formatting? I am a huge Wikipedia user as a reference and I'm just getting started and adding people I know that should be on here because they have done lots of stuff but don't know how to wiki edit and I've been meaning to learn this since wikipedia started. I've been online since Jan of 95, been reading the internet since then, I can add a lot, just need help.

What do I need to do to fix this page and get it live? I think it looks pretty good. Tha Maji (talk) 16:00, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi . The reviewer's comment was "Instagram and IMDb aren't WP:RS, please replace". They might also have said that The Daily Mail is not a reliable source either, per WP:DAILYMAIL. Since you didn't understand, I removed those sources for you, along with the content sourced to them. While I was under the hood, I checked the remaining sources and removed those that failed to support the content where cited, and then most of the unsupported content. Finally, I removed external links, which aren't allowed in the text. One is okay in the external links section, but seldom more. There's not much left. The subject is clearly not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). --Worldbruce (talk) 23:35, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

I want my draft deleted
Hi, I created draft:Rajputs of Nepal however I now realise that the quality of the article is not up to par. I have incorrectly mischaracterised most of the sources and a lot of the content that is correct would be better placed in the Rajput article as opposed to a separate article. Could it be deleted so I could try and make it again at a later date? Thanks213.205.198.130 (talk) 16:25, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Siraj meets notability requirements as he has made significant impact in the study of minor planets, most notably because of his discovery of the first known potentially interstellar meteor, which scientists have been searching for since at least 1940.

22:02:39, 23 April 2019 review of draft by TravelGM18
Hi, thanks for your note. How can I rework this for Wiki? I've seen other "Tourism" pages and other Visitor Convention Authorities with similar pages. I'd appreciate any tips or advice on how to make this work. Thank you! TravelGM18 (talk) 22:02, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi . Wikipedia contains low quality articles and high quality ones. If you're using an example to create a similar article, be sure to use the best available one. Tourism in Malta is the only article in the domain rated good or better by the community, so I strongly suggest you follow its pattern, adjusting as necessary for differences between Malta and Miami Beach. Note that the "Arrivals by country" subsection and table was added after the article earned its "good" status, and might or might not be considered an improvement by reviewers. The safest course would be to not mimic that piece. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:56, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Secondly, how do I make sure the title of the article doesnt show "sandbox" etc.

thanks Isa
 * Hi . The draft was deleted for being unambiguous advertising, so I suggest you edit a different topic. There are 5.8 million to choose from. See Community portal for ways to help improve the encyclopedia. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:01, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

23:30:55, 23 April 2019 review of submission by MoODy TeeN
why was my article deleted? It was about someone I know and therefore I can't have a citation from somewhere else because she isn't famous MoODy TeeN (talk) 23:30, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi . Unlike Facebook, LinkedIn, and similar sites, this is not a place to write about yourself or your friends. Please understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. If you can't cite a reliable, published, secondary source about your topic, then it isn't suitable for Wikipedia. You may wish to consider alternative outlets, ones that have different inclusion criteria. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:24, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
