06:02:03, 16 February 2021 review of draft by 23.25.70.25
I submitted an article on one of the early African American journalists, Mary Frances Vashon (Colder). It was rejected, but I feel that rejection was done in bad faith. I was able to support every part of her life mentioned with documentation. Unfortunately, because she lived in the early part of the 19th century and was black, her history is a footnote in the histories of others. However, it is there. I carefully located enough of the scant information to create a full article on her from her birth to her death. But, apparently, Wikipedia only thinks her father and brother are worth mentioning despite evidence she wrote articles for Frederick Douglass' Papers and The Alienated American.

I want to know why you think one of the early female African American Journalists doesn't deserve her own page? Because I'm never going to be able to find an article with her name in the title until you let me publish one. 23.25.70.25 (talk) 06:02, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Your draft was declined NOT rejected, you need to establish how she passes the criteria at WP:GNG. Theroadislong (talk) 09:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Read WP:NOTABOUTYOU as stated in the rejection. Martin Thøgersen (talk) 07:27, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

I see this as a major issue with Wikipedia not acknowledging the challenges of Africa and the limitations of the internet and accessibility to references especially when they’re in hard copy only.

This limits the Biography of African personalities not being able to get online because of this factor — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isnsaka (talk • contribs) 15:14, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

I am not sure how to make the tone of this article more encyclopaedic. Are there any tips you could give me? Thank you in advance!

 * , I think it might be better if you started off with a smaller article; about 300 words that gives an explanation of the genre and its most notable players (all of which should have an existing article and cite a source directly linking them to the genre). Once it's in mainspace, other editors can help expand it further. I can see sources about Maghreb jazz, but most of them aren't in English. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:51, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

 * , Do not write articles about yourself. If you are worthy of a global encyclopedia's attention, somebody will write about you anyway. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:54, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

This doesn't make sense, not a supporting role but a cast member appearing of every episode of The Pack on Amazon.

22:48:10, 16 February 2021 review of submission by Taira-prime
Hello,

I am an employee of Prime 1 Studio and I am trying to get a Wikipedia page up of our company. Is this not allowed? Does the contributor have to be unassociated with the company before an entry can be uploaded into the public space?

I've never uploaded a Wiki before, so any help is most welcome.

 * Hi . Please see WP:BFAQ. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:39, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia does not have "pages", it has articles. Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell about themselves; we actually want independent editors who take note of potential subjects in independent reliable sources to write about those subjects, not representatives of the subject.
 * Please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on formal disclosures you may be required to make. 331dot (talk) 10:09, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
