00:30:00, 6 November 2020 review of draft by FcoonerBCA
William Nickels Jr I'm hopeful to get published. FcoonerBCA (talk) 00:30, 6 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi . Thank you for your contribution. It is in the pool of drafts to be reviewed. It is unlikely to be published as-is, since it cites a single source, and that source mentions Nickels in only two sentences. The notability guideline (inclusion criteria) for people is, in a nutshell, "has received significant coverage in multiple, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject". Two sentences does not constitute significant coverage. Wikipedia requires significant coverage so that we can write a whole biography rather than just a few sentences. We require multiple sources so that we can write a balanced article that complies with Neutral point of view, rather than representing only one author's point of view. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:38, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

I need help understanding the types of edits I need to make in order to have an article on the history of Second Calvary Baptist Church published as a Wikipedia article. The church has kept meticulous records regarding their 140+ year history. I will need guidance making the necessary edits for an article to be approved for publication. Thank you for your help.

 * You've already been informed as to why this draft is unsuitable for Wikipedia in this response to your previous query, and you have made no improvements since then. -- Kinu t/c 05:33, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

I have been trying to submit the Global Chess Festival entry. I did all modification according to your guidelines but it is still not accepted. Could you please give specific help on which sentence shall be modified. I also gave one more paragraph concerning year 2020. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

 * Hi, the draft was last reviewed back in March, you have not resubmitted it for another review. To do so you need to click the blue "Resubmit" button. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:42, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Just wondering what additional citations I may need for this article? Artist is referenced several times in Wikipedia articles as well as outside resources and is well known artist. Thanks

Hello,

I am new to Wikipedia as an editor. I have been trying to get an article published about the company that I work for. We're a fast growing startup with an interesting history and technology. I have been rejected a couple of times, and I have attempted to fix the issues, but before I try to resubmit, I was hoping someone could give the article a quick look and let me know if there are any issues that they see? I have added a significant amount of references from major publications about the company and it's history. I have marked that I do work for the organization in the submission, but I have tried to be as unbiased as possible and quote or paraphrase article content when possible. Thank you in advance!

 * Your use of the term "startup" is a strong indicator that your company, as the reviewer noted, does not meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Only well established companies that independent reliable sources give significant coverage to do.  Your sources are almost exclusively press releases; press releases and other announcements of routine business transactions like the raising of capital or release of a product are not independent and as such do not establish notability.  Wikipedia is only interested in what reliable sources completely unconnected with your company have chosen on their own to say about it. 331dot (talk) 16:02, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

 * You didn't ask a question, but it seems to me you erroneously think Wikipedia is a social networking site, considering the title of your draft is Draft:Itsvlone, vs. Draft:Vlone or Draft:Kleon Seda. Anyhow, Wikipedia is not a social networking site, it is an encyclopedia, and as such, we only care about people who can meet our notability criteria. See WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO.
