00:13:51, 20 January 2021 review of draft by JCWrites
JCWrites (talk) 00:13, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey there my name is Jeff and I'm kinda confused why the article I am trying to public is being declined, it says because it appears to be a promotion or something like that but I'm not getting paid or being told to write this. I have recently started writing articles on different sites about up and coming artists, rappers, singers, influencers, and just people who id think are good to write about. I added all the sources I got my information from and I just want to know what I need to change so that my future articles don't get declined either
 * Part of the issue is that you are writing in the style of a biographical piece and not an encyclopedia article. I would suggest reviewing Your First Article and using the new user tutorial to learn more about Wikipedia before attempting to write an article; writing an article is the absolute hardest thing to succeed at on Wikipedia, it takes much time, effort, and practice, and diving in without experience and/or knowledge usually is not successful. 331dot (talk) 09:35, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

this is a school histiry of Vijitha Central College.why my page is not accepted ? how can i resolve and publish? Charikagomeda (talk) 07:00, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The reviewer left you a message on your draft telling you why it was not accepted. It appears that the college does not meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization, at least based on the sources you provided. 331dot (talk) 09:32, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I created a Wikipedia page for “North East Centre for Technology Application and Reach (NECTAR)” yesterday, and it’s been rejected continuosly. I’m new to Wikipedia and I’m having trouble understanding what I’ve done wrong. Please guide on how to get the page published.
 * Wikipedia does not have mere "pages", it has articles. Your draft has been rejected because it does not summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the center, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization.  In fact, you offer no sources at all.  A Wikipedia article does not just tell about something. Please see Your First Article for more information.
 * If you are associated with this center, please review conflict of interest and paid editing for information on formal disclosures you could be required to make. 331dot (talk) 09:30, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

North East Centre For Technology Application and Reach (NECTAR) is already defined in the below two pages - 1. List of agencies of the government of India https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_agencies_of_the_government_of_India#Department_of_Science_%26_Technology

2. Department of Science and Technology (India) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_Science_and_Technology_(India)#Autonomous_S%26T_Institutions Rajesh84Kumar (talk) 09:48, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Please place follow up comments in this existing section, instead of creating new sections. What you say is not the issue; please see my comment above. 331dot (talk) 10:00, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

I am still not able to follow your instructions. Please guide. Also, let me know if the article can be published. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajesh84Kumar (talk • contribs) 10:17, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * It will not be moved into the main encyclopedia until the draft does what I have stated- summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen to say about the center. I can't do this for you. There is no deadline for drafts; if you need to take some time to learn more about Wikipedia and how it operates, I would recommend that you do so.  New users who dive right in to creating articles without editing experience or learning more about Wikipedia first often end up disappointed and with hurt feelings when their work is rejected, I don't want to see that happen to you. As I stated, you must declare any conflict of interest that you have. 331dot (talk) 10:22, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * You might try reading Your First Article and using the new user tutorial. 331dot (talk) 10:25, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

I would like to change the name of my draft Bishop Robert S. Williams. Can you please tell me how to do that? This is a biography.

Ttwilliams01 (talk) 07:38, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * If you submit it for review and it is accepted, the reviewer will move the article into the encyclopedia and put it at the correct title. You could leave a note on the draft talk page about it, though. 331dot (talk) 09:27, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

07:42:52, 20 January 2021 review of submission by Swansonnery
The last time the article was rejected was due to the topic not being relevant enough, if I am not mistaken. I believe it is not the case anymore, as the topic in question (TasteAtlas) is growing in popularity and significance year after year. The results on Google concerning TasteAtlas are great in numbers—at the moment of writing this, the number is 438,000. I have not checked the same metrics the last time, but I am certain the number has increased numerous times since the last date of submission.

If the article is rejected again due to not being relevant enough, I would greatly appreciate some more detailed explanation as to why the reviewer(s) believe that to be the case.

Thank you for your time.

Swansonnery (talk) 07:42, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The draft just tells about TasteAtlas and what they do. A Wikipedia article must do more, it must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Brief mentions, announcements of routine business activity, staff interviews, the company website, and other primary sources do not establish notability.  As the draft was rejected, it will not be considered further at this time. 331dot (talk) 09:25, 20 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi 331dot, thank you for your reply and I apologize for my belated one. I must admit that I am very confused as to what constitutes a proper and notable, as you say, Wikipedia article. By pure coincidence, I have stumbled upon this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albayan_University. An article concerning a private university, containing only one sentence and a few mentions of its colleges. It is highly likely that I am not yet familiar with some of Wikipedia's standards, but I find it appalling that an article such as that one is live and accepted while the one I am trying to publish is not meeting some certain standards. Furthermore, there are many more such articles on Wikipedia that I have stumbled upon either accidentally or not over the years. While I do not believe that such extremely short (or, in my opinion, irrelevant or not notable enough) articles should be abolished or removed from Wikipedia, I can't help but formally complain like this and inquire further explanation as to why my draft does not meet certain standards when other articles clearly do not either. Thank you for your time. Swansonnery (talk) 18:55, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Please see other stuff exists. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. We can only address what we know about. The article you mention is marked as problematic. With over 6 million articles and only thousands of editors, some poor content will get by us. That doesn't mean more problematic content should be permitted, or that existing problematic content is accepted; we just haven't gotten to it yet. 331dot (talk) 20:01, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Request on 10:25:06, 20 January 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by MellymelDot2Dot
HI. I keep submitting my article and it gets rejected only for me to be contacted by the rejector saying that they can edit it and get it accespted for a fee. One of these (	‪KartikeyaS343) has clearly already been blocked as I can no longer access his page, but "R. Gaurav" has sent a message too to the person I am writing about. I have included this below. I would like to know more specifically what areas of my piece aer incorrect and why. Thank you for your time. Best wishes Melissa Roskell

Dear Eden, I hope you are doing well.

13:09:30, 20 January 2021 review of submission by FredBensen
Im not sure what else to add but i stongly feel this has place as a wiki article as Cromwells father in laws being a Lord of the manor shows the political sway cromwell would have had access to further more i feel it is necassary for a full article as it outlines other prominent family that were lords of the manor.

16:16:28, 20 January 2021 review of draft by Bhorais
I have been working on creating a Wiki page on ''Therming'. I have gone through a few iterations on creating verifiable references in the proper format, but have still received a rejection with the following message:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Can you give me some advice on how to correct any errors in the references? Also, I received the comment: Comment: Please directly cite the information within the text. SL93 (talk) 03:51, 25 November 2020 (UTC). I thought my text did a good job of directly citing the references. What am I missing?

thanks for your help

 * I've removed the text of your submission as it is linked to above. 331dot (talk) 16:27, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:CITE for information on properly citing references. 331dot (talk) 16:29, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have done some work on the article to get it moving forward to acceptance. It still needs some work. Have a look at WP:REFB, which will help you create the references. I have did one already to get your started. I also changed the links to external links for example of the working, and added a gallery tags, so when you upload your images, you can bundle them in there and will come nice looking. If you need any further help, give me a shout. The article is mostly, it just needs in-place citations. REFB will show you howto do it. I couldn't find the images. I think they need uploaded.   scope_creep Talk  17:19, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello team , This is my first article, so i need some help. May you please check this draft and edit if i had done any wrong thing in it. And make sure to tell me how can i improve this article it will be pleasure for me. Thanku Imtiyazrasoool (talk) 17:05, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * As currently written, the draft does not indicate how WP:NPERSON is met. Press releases, routine announcements, interviews and other primary sources are of limited use. This draft would benefit from more reliable, independent sources with some coverage of the subject. See also WP:CSMN. Victor Schmidt (talk) 18:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

17:49:11, 20 January 2021 review of submission by WikiEditorNumber9
Greetings

I would like to know what to do in order to have this article published, as I firmly believe in sustainability, and I am wanting to spread awareness about companies that offer sustainability in their investment packages.

Kind Regards WikiEditorNumber9 (talk) 17:49, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I am afraid "spreading awareness" fails Wikipedia's scope. The current draft shows no evidence of WP:NCORP. Victor Schmidt (talk) 18:10, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
