I am trying to tag the draft: Conservation CATalyst with "woman scientist" "conservation" etc. to help expedite the approval process (it is waiting to be reviewed) but it will not allow me to? Any advice or assistance is greatly appreciated. One of my goals for 2020 was to build my first WIki page and I am hoping to accomplish it. Thank you very much!

What should i do to make it an article? What wrong with it? Photos of rdr2 (talk) 04:56, 11 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi . What is wrong with the draft is that O'Brien is not notable (not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia). No amount of editing can fix that problem. Write about something else; we have millions of topics to choose from. Visit the Task Center if you're not sure how to help. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:55, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Good morning, I have a problem. You see, I translated a Wikipedia article in Spanish. For this I simply translated words and entered the sources well, this is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Christopher_Louis_Chanc%C3%A9_P%C3%A9rez

And well, I was rejected for being something "advertising". I understand that they are different wikis, but they all have many rules in common.

I'll give you the article in Spanish: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Chanc%C3%A9

Please if you can help me, Thank you. MarioHernandez1976 (talk) 04:51, 11 December 2020 (UTC) MarioHernandez1976 (talk) 06:25, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * {{u|MarioHernandez1976}} They don't have as many rules in common as you might think. The English version is the oldest and as such has developed stricter inclusion standards over time, the decline notice on your draft describes them. 331dot (talk) 10:32, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

The Aogrand Group is a very famous company in China, I just want to creat a wiki about it, But always failed, Would you please tell me how to do this?

 * One does not "create a wiki", as a wiki is a type of entire website of which Wikipedia as a whole is one. One creates a Wikipedia article.  As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about a company.  A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Your draft is sourced to nothing but two press releases, which are not independent sources and do not establish notability.  This is why the draft was rejected, meaning it will not be considered further. 331dot (talk) 10:30, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, so I thought if creating an article about Free TON, a decentralized blockchain network, then I discovered there's an already Draft:Free TON, however this draft has brleen declined. I'd like to understand what are the current problems with this draft and should be done to fix it. By the way, I think it is a translation of the Russian version of this article.

נועם ימיני (talk) 13:58, 11 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi . Be aware that the topic falls under General sanctions/Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The odds of being able to "fix" Draft:Free TON lie somewhere between slim and none. The draft's sources, Coindesk and Cointelegraph (and all other crytpocurrency-specialized press), are not reliable sources, so may not be cited. Instead you would need mainstream press, such as The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Barron's, etc. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:41, 11 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks, would a Forbes article such as this one be considered a Reliable Source?
 * נועם ימיני (talk) 18:22, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No, www.forbes.com/sites by contributors instead of staff are not the same as Forbes magazine. They are blogs, so not reliable sources for facts, only for the opinion of the author. In practice, I've found them to be a strong contra-indicator of notability. Perhaps only non-notable entities resort to paying people to write about them. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:41, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

I would just like to publish an English translation of this page: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Polish_Journal_of_Aesthetics
 * That an article exists on another language version of Wikipedia does not automatically mean it can exist on another. Each language version is its own project, with its own editors, policies, and guidelines.  As the English version has been around the longest, it is the most developed in that regard.  In order fo ran article about this journal to exist here, you must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage say about the journal, showing how it meets our definition of a notable academic journal. If no such sources exist, or the journal does not meet the notability definition, it would not merit an article here at this time, even if it does on the Polish Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 21:35, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I am wondering why this page is not being accepted. There are other pages listing traffic deaths for other geographies. This one has sources for all of the entries, as well as news coverage and government sources showing that the topic is important and relevant.
 * Wikipedia is not a directory or database of lists of information. This is an encyclopedia.  Please see other stuff exists; other similar articles existing does not automatically mean yours can too.  As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us.  We can only address what we know about.  Article standards have also changed over time so that what was once acceptable is no longer.  If you'd care to point out some of these other similar articles, we can address them, we could use the help. 331dot (talk) 21:38, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Sometime earlier this year, it was decided that the list of films by each of the main studios were to be split up by decade; however, while things went according to plan with the Paramount, Universal, and Warner Bros. pages, only 5 articles for lists of Columbia's movies are currently up. To add further insult to injury, I tried to submit one of the drafts, but it got rejected. Is there a way that the process can be sped up? IceWalrus236 (talk) 21:54, 11 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi . You absolutely can speed up the process. Lists are subject to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, as further explained in the stand-alone list guideline. Add however many sources are needed to back up the statements made about each film in the list, and it should sail quickly through AfC. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:19, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
