03:42:00, 23 December 2022 review of draft by SUCHIFEN
hello, I would like to ask how to show our external links at the very bottom (references). It can only show 2 of them, when I clicked "reference links", but this page has more external links than that. We don't know how to add it. thank you!

 * @suchifen: the issue is that your sources are not enclosed in tags. for more information on referencing, read help:referencing for beginners. lettherebedarklight晚安 08:51, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @SUCHIFEN: when you say "we don't know", who is the "we"? Wikipedia accounts are for use by a single individual only, so if you are collaborating with someone they should be using their own accounts.
 * Also, what is your relationship with the subject of this draft? I have posted a message on your user talk page with advice on conflicts of interest (COI); please read and action it. Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:03, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

What shall I do to write on Wikipedia snice Wikipedia is not social media.

How can I use Wikipedia since it is not social media, I have more experience on social media rather than encyclopedia like Wikipedia and others so could you help me how can I use the Wikipedia. That means could you guide me to use Wikipedia. Balchanamakowcbombe (talk) 13:55, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves. If you would like to help us out with this project to write an encyclopedia of human knowledge, please use the new user tutorial, and then contribute in topic areas that interest you.
 * If you have additional comment, please edit this existing section, instead of creating additional sections. 331dot (talk) 13:57, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @Balchanamakowcbombe If you want, you can just read articles in Wikipedia.  Thers is no requirement to do any more than that.  It's not a place for casual  chats with others, unless the purpose of the discussion is related to this encyclopedia and how to improve it.  But feel free to ask any questions  you want here!  As 331dot says, you can also edit and improve existing articles, and (eventually) create new articles on notable subjects, if you wish.  Creating new articles is hard, though. The "new user tutorial" phrase above is a clickable link with more information. David10244 (talk) 12:28, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

17:06:31, 23 December 2022 review of submission by Zohoe
This draft was rejected for having only two local newspaper articles as references. These articles give all the details known about this particular topic and it has been a subject of much interest as part of local Ohio folklore which is why I felt it was worthy of a wiki page. What do I need to add to have this article approved? Zohoe (talk) 17:06, 23 December 2022 (UTC)


 * @Zohoe: it wasn't rejected, it was only declined, meaning you can resubmit once you've added more and/or better sources (rejection would mean you cannot resubmit). If such sources cannot be found, then this most likely doesn't warrant an article. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:31, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering why this got rejected, may I have more info on why this page got rejected please? Thank you in advance. Sanana11 (talk) 21:11, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * You wrote a glowing, promotional piece about Mr. Karagezyan that is largely uncited. Wikipedia is not a place to merely tell about someone.  An article about a person must neutrally summarize what independent relialbe sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about someone, showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person. If you wrote about yourself, this is discouraged, please read WP:AUTO. 331dot (talk) 21:14, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * e/c unsourced and extremely promotional in tone, totally inappropriate for Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 21:15, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * okay? You did not have to delete my draft though. Sanana11 (talk) 21:33, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a webhost for such material. The content was not appropriate for this project and subject to deletion per the criterion indicated below. -- Kinu t/c 21:52, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the draft per WP:CSD as unsalvageable and blatantly promotional fluff. -- Kinu t/c 21:21, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
