09:20:16, 29 August 2018 review of submission by KasuraF[edit]

I dont know what I need to do to make this page ready to upload. I need some assistance. KasuraF (talk) 09:20, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

KasuraF, you need to find sources for what the article says, and add the them to the article, by putting them in as per here. These sources should support the statements made in the article. You also need to tone down the article; removing adjectives like "renowned" or "quality" that only serve to promote the university. Also, do you have any relationship with the university?

18:03:08, 29 August 2018 review of submission by Jeff14400[edit]

I'm the publicist working with ObEN and I'm trying to get the company Wikipedia page published. I did indicate that I was connected to the company, but I'm getting a message saying that the press links don't show enough to prove its a legitimate company (not those words, but that was the indication.) The press links are national press and consistent press. I'm hoping to get some guidance on how to get this published as the company really is making great strides in AI and have many awards and other recognitions that should make this an important technology for future AI.

Thanks so much for your help.

@Jeff14400: I don't see where you declared your relationship with them. Since you're a paid worker, in fact their official promoter, then you must use {{Paid}} and disclose your employer.

and you should do so here on your userpage. After that you should read guideline on paid and conflict of interest editing and understand that Wikipedia does not allow promotion of companies or their products. –Ammarpad (talk) 03:33, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

18:26:50, 29 August 2018 review of draft by Asma Khawaja[edit]


My Wikipedia page is a promotion and description of the book Shaking Hands with Clenched Fists, which is scheduled for publication on September 4, 2018, in Pakistan. And besides several efforts, it has no visibility on the google search results. Am I suppose to change the title from draft to book once it is published or there are some other requirements that are being missed. Please guide. Asma Khawaja 18:26, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

@Asma Khawaja: I am afraid, you're at the wrong place. Wikipedia does not allow promotion in whatever manner. If you have interest in writing neutral prose about notable subjects, then endeavor to thoroughly get the points described in How to write article. Also, I don't know your relationship with the author, but please do read Conflict of interest guideline and get its points too. If you're only here to promote the book ahead of its release, then you should forget Wikipedia and consider using one of this alternative outlets to advertise your book. –Ammarpad (talk) 20:19, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 19:57:47, 29 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Joeruzicka[edit]


I've been working on writing an article for an artist, Julia Thompson, and am having trouble with getting it posted. I have cited sources with independent music publications to verify sources; however, I have still been denied. Any tips on what I exactly need to change would be greatly appreciated since this will be my first published article. Joeruzicka (talk) Joe

@Joeruzicka: Welcome to this Help Desk. The main problem with your drafts seems to be about notability, and I am afraid most of the time, notability cannot be repaired by any 'tip.' The references that you provided are not enough to show notability, and the subject appears to just started singing this current year, you should read about WP:TOOSOON. And, in the meantime if you know any other person or thing that have much more references than the singer, you can just start new article on them –Ammarpad (talk) 20:33, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

22:10:14, 29 August 2018 review of draft by Tkammom201516[edit]


My article for The Adventure Project was declined by a reviewer for being "disorganized" and not going into enough detail about the organization. As I have seen numerous other Wikipedia pages with less information than mine, I am wondering if it is possible to have a new reviewer look at my article. I do not understand what is "disorganized" about it and do not know why the information that is already there isn't sufficient for publication.

Tkammom201516 (talk) 22:10, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Tkammom201516: - So I can understand what the reviewer has said - as an example, your history section primarily consists of a mission statement and a statement of how TAP is run. None of this is really history - it belongs elsewhere (there are various different ways you could sort it). Your reception section just notes it's been covered by various groups without actually saying what the reception is.
Reviewers vary in terms of how "protective" they are when considering drafts (i.e. how safe they play it) since not only do we not want drafts to be deleted, but we prefer it if they don't get hit heavily with paragraph/section deletion.
The reliable, in-depth, secondary coverage is fairly minimal in my view, but I believe it satisfied the organisational notability rules. If you do the fairly small edits I suspect either your reviewer would be happy to pass it (or I will do my own review and see if it's fine myself).

Witty feed[edit]

22:23:08, 29 August 2018 review of submission by Eddie891[edit]

Draft:WittyFeed was approved by me. I am no longer associated with AfC, but the article went through AfC, multiple speedy deletions, and nomination at AfD (which ended in no consensus). I don't really understand why the article was changed back to draft. It seems to be on a notable topic. Eddie891 Talk Work 22:23, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Eddie891 Since you're not a new user seeking help for your draft, then the right place to post this is WT:AFC where reviewers discuss or to directly talk with the editor who draftified it, since you disagree. Speaking on the draft, the draftification doesn't say it is not notable, but there is suspicion of paid-editing, which can be true. but you can post at WT:AFC as I said, to get more opinions.. –Ammarpad (talk) 03:19, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
