I have put a lot of certified references such as Wikipedia and many international sites (books and news) that have written about this company! I wrote this article with a good writer and this company actively participates in Egyptian society .. Please re-review this article because it does not contain wrong information or about a small company and it applies the conditions of notability! It is a popular company in Egypt and it participates in the community

"This is advertising" and the reviewer has nothing else to say. what a vague response to an article with facts verified by adequate references. The purpose of wikipedia is to share information and that is what this article intends to do. Please suggest a proper way to improve the article.

Myfirsts (talk) 04:24, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, you are incorrect; the purpose of Wikipedia is not to merely share information. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about article subjects that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability, in this case the definition of a notable person.  Your draft merely told about the doctor and his services, with a brief mention of his brief appearance in a records book. 331dot (talk) 10:43, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

10:31:56, 9 June 2020 review of submission by JonathanBrott
Hello there!

First time editor here. I've been working on an article for the Swedish indie band Mama Sonic. Article in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mama_Sonic My first submission was understandably rejected, as I at first thought I could piece together some first-hand information from my own experience with the band and just add a COI tag. After this, I've completely revised the article and it is has improved substantially.

I have worked with this band on multiple occasions and am an off-and-on member of it (non-profit artistic collaborations). I understand the COI policy is applicable in most commercial situations, but right now I'm confused, should I not have claimed a COI at all? The band has a growing following, yet information about them has yet to be collected in the form of a Wiki entry. The draft article is based on public interviews and reviews as well as record label listings. Some of the material was promotional biography from the band, and I can see that that needs revision.

Perhaps my question is: is this article suitable for Wikipedia? I've seen many similar listings of Swedish bands, such as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Cone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Perro_del_Mar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Johansson_(musician)

Basically, I'm not sure if the draft is too unsubstantial or if the citation needs more work at this stage. I'll take another pass at it before resubmitting! Any suggestions are welcome!

Best wishes Jonathan

 * You need to declare a COI if you have any association with an article subject that could be perceived as influencing your work. You don't have to have a commercial relationship or be paid(being paid or any financial relationship would trigger the stricter paid editing declaration).  In terms of the draft, as long as the band meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable band and your sources are independent reliable sources with significant coverage, the article will get past a review.  I don't do many formal article reviews, but from a quick glance it seems like it is at least possible the draft would be okay. 331dot (talk) 10:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

12:25:13, 9 June 2020 review of submission by Joshua989898
So my article was recently rejected for not being a sufficiently notable topic. But I have now found the links to four newspaper articles that have been written over the years on the subject (one from the Washington Post, one from the Washington Times and two from the Deseret News). Would including these as references for the article help it become sufficiently notable? Joshua989898 (talk) 12:25, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * It's difficult to answer you without knowing what exactly the sources say. If they are independent of the organization and give it significant coverage(not just a brief mention, routine announcement, press release, staff interview, etc.) they could be sufficient.  Any article about this organization should only summarize what independent sources say about it.  331dot (talk) 13:12, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

13:07:49, 9 June 2020 review of draft by S09748
Hello, this is S09748 speaking. I am asking help about how to make a proper table in my article. See, there are four cells in a row, and the one under is about a summary. I would like for the cell under to take as much area as the four above. Can you please tell me how i could achieve this? Thank you. S09748 (talk) 13:07, 9 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi . It sounds like what you want is the colspan attribute. See Help:Basic table markup for more information, and see the climate table in Bern for an example. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:57, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

15:56:34, 9 June 2020 review of submission by 70.29.26.190
Hi, Looking for for ways to make this article seem less like an ad. I do work for a marketing company that represents signal hill whiskey and originally copied and pasted the copy they wrote for wikipedia, it was declined because it read like an ad. I read over the original and pulled a bunch of unnecessary branding adjectives, while leaving enough info to accurately describe the product. I'm thinking it may be the taste profiles getting flagged, but I would like to kmow which lines of text are reading too much like an advertisement. Thanks, Ben Buschke Morrison Digital

 * Before you do anything else you must comply with the paid editing conditions. Then to salvage the draft start by removing the entire "Product Description" section. The "History" section should be the core of the entire article. It should be largely based on independent sources. It might actually be easier to create an article about the company rather than its products. Don't even think about "brand". Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:42, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, I would like to request a re-review for the article on TV personality and K-Pop artist, Oli London. Please let me know if I need to make any changes. I have updated his TV credits to include his most recent shows Dr. Phil, Botched and Daily Mail TV and added more reliable sources.

Thank you,

19:16:31, 9 June 2020 review of submission by Mckaylagrace
My article submission for GFA Canada was declined because it didn't show significant coverage. I appreciate the feedback from Sulfurboy and just have a few questions. My original intent was for this to be a stub and more of a work-in-progress sort of page. Is there a different procedure for creating stubs as opposed to full articles? If not, would my article be accepted if I were to submit more proof of significant coverage from news outlets like CBC and CTV? Thanks for the help! Mckaylagrace (talk) 19:16, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , Notability needs to be established with reliable, independent sources. The length of the article, or whether or not it is a stub, does not change that fact. Sulfurboy (talk) 19:17, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

19:53:33, 9 June 2020 review of submission by Alyssattran
If I'm publishing a wikipedia page for my company is it okay if i source some of my information directly from my company's page or is that considered being biased.

Alyssattran (talk) 19:53, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * First, you must read and formally comply with the paid editing policy, a Wikipedia Terms of Use requirement. You should also review conflict of interest.  Any article about your company should primarily summarize what independent reliable sources say about your company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself.  Certain indisputable factual information like location, number of employees, prominent staff, can be sourced to the company itself, but that's all; please see WP:PRIMARY for more information on that point. 331dot (talk) 20:35, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

20:03:47, 9 June 2020 review of submission by Willairwin
I do not understand why the article was not able to be submitted. Perhaps because I copied and pasted from a Word document draft?

23:39:31, 9 June 2020 review of draft by AengusB
Hi!

I have two questions:

1- How do I change the name of my article-to-be? I submitted it from my sandbox and it did not let me input any title, and it seems that the user who reviewed my article knew how to do it and input the title with a typo.

2- After I reached out to Reddit for sources about Kyle Hill, the man himself saw my post and offered to answer my questions. How should I quote the information he will send me by email? (I know it is actually him because I sent the email through a form on his website).

Thank you

AengusB (talk) 23:39, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about the title, as if and when the draft is accepted, the reviewer will handle the placement of the draft in the encyclopedia; you may want to leave a note on the draft talk page that the title is currently misspelled. As for the information from Kyle Hill, Wikipedia cannot accept information in an email; all information must be sourced to a publicly available independent reliable source for verification purposes(as Kyle cannot sit by a phone for as long as Wikipedia exists taking calls or emails from readers). Perhaps Kyle Hill can direct you to reliable sources where the information he has provided you with has been published.
 * Since you are in communication with Kyle Hill about your Wikipedia editing, you will need to review conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 09:06, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your swift answer. Tell me if I'm wrong, but I do not think I have a conflict of interest since I do not know Kyle Hill personally and will not receive benefits in any shape or form for the article. My article is still a draft, but could you give it a quick look and tell me whether there are already obstacles to the publication of the article, please? Thank you
