Could you please help me identify the sentences or paragraphs where do you see missing footnotes at the Chelo´s Alvarez-Stehle draft? I thought I had it right. Please, I need help to understand my error. Thank you in advance.

 * There are a number of sentences in the career section with no sources. Theroadislong (talk) 09:11, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

hello, I would like to know what changes are needed so this page can be posted. thanks for your time!
 * User:Boxing8829 - An article on Anthony Martinez (boxer) was deleted two years ago after a deletion discussion. You will need to show that he has accomplished more as a boxer in the past two years (or that the deletion discussion should be reviewed).  Robert McClenon (talk) 19:58, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Roger amanna (talk) 15:19, 3 April 2020 (UTC) I need more advice on what needs to be added to have this article accepted. Any help would be appreciated.
 * Your draft has been rejected the topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. You have zero independent reliable sources, they are an absolute prerequisite for a successful submission. Theroadislong (talk) 15:46, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

16:57:27, 3 April 2020 review of submission by 109.146.54.212
Hi. Please could I have help with editing the page I created as I have edited it three times. It is not clear why it has been declined. Is it to do with the references? Not enough information about the topic?

 * If the only source you can find is a page on the subject's agents website, you have not shown that he is Notable. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:08, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Please could you have a look at my draft as I have added a bit more and included a new reference which I hope meets your standards 109.146.54.212 (talk) 17:53, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry no, they are both primary sources and Linked in isn't reliable either, you need multiple in-depth coverage in magazines, newspapers etc. Theroadislong (talk) 18:03, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

18:27:42, 3 April 2020 review of submission by Rm 1309
Hello,

I'd really like to learn from you the basic changes that I could make to the draft: Agarwal Movers Group in order to make it more suitable for Wikipedia. I've tried talking to wiki volunteers over the IRC and I did do the changes required. I'm still confused. Maybe help me out? Rm 1309 (talk) 18:27, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Rm 1309, your article was rejected because it was written as an advertisement. It's hard to help you with such a vague request as there are a lot of things to do on Wikipedia (and policies to follow). If you want some places to start, I would recommend looking at all of the links that editors in the past have posted on your talk page. Let me know if you have some more specific questions that I can answer. Sam-2727 (talk) 20:33, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

I'm just trying to write a appreciative summary of a book I really enjoy. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Zoyashi (talk) 19:47, 3 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia does not publish essays or any other material that is original research. Unfortunately, there is no guidance we can provide for the article in its current state. You would have to start again from scratch and use reliable sources for most everything. — HELL KNOWZ   ▎TALK 20:09, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

I am trying to write an appreciative summary of a book I really enjoy. Any advice would be welcome!

Zoyashi (talk) 19:49, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not for merely publishing book summaries. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent reliable sources state about article subjects that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability(in this case, the definition of a notable book).  A plot summary is only a small part of such an article, and should not provide every detail. Any article about a book should focus on what independent sources say about it. 331dot (talk) 19:56, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

19:50:39, 3 April 2020 review of draft by Eforgacs
I would like to go over this draft to make sure that it meets the submission criteria. The first time I tried submitting, it got rejected because it was missing sources. Most of the sources are in Korean, but I was able to find a source that was in English (not sure if the language of the source matters), and I added that. I also removed some unsourced material as well. Please let me know what changes are necessary. Thanks.

Eforgacs (talk) 19:50, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to say sources do not have to be in English. It helps, but it's not required.  331dot (talk) 19:54, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

This was modeled directly off the entries of similar behavioral scientists (Nir Eyal, Daniel Kahneman, etc.) and is the first of an effort to add more behavioral scientists to WP. We're trying to get one right before using that as a template for the others...rather than simply say "its not right", could you help edit it into being correct so that we have a template to use for the rest of the behavioral science community?

 * The draft reads like a resume or CV or list of accomplishments, and not an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia articles should summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about a subject, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability(in this case, that of a notable academic).  It shouldn't just merely tell what the subject has done- that is just advertising(as noted by a commenter on the draft).  If you patterned this on other similar articles, those articles are likely in error as well.  Who is "we"?("so that we have a template") 331dot (talk) 21:19, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It's unfortunate because it's clear that you spent a lot of time on this article, but as 331dot explains above, it's more important to write the article based on what others have written about him, rather than basing it on primary sources, which is what Wikipedia calls the interviews, speeches and podcasts that make up many of the listed sources you used. I just did a Google search and couldn't find very much independent coverage about him. I was also unable to find significant independent media coverage of his book.
