Can you please clarify why my references are deemed insufficient? It would be good to know whether it is because they are not considered reliable, or not considered secondary or not independent or why? I have used publicly-available Council documents (including minutes of Council meetings, video records of Council meetings, development applications), television news videos, Gold Coast Bulletin (daily newspaper), Australian Broadcasting Commission documentary amongst others. Are you able to indicate why each reference is considered incorrect for Wikipedia? Many thanks indeed. Black Swan Protector (talk) 01:05, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would like input on why it would be rejected. This is about the host of a television show (Exploring America) that is the first American television show of this nature ever to be filmed in the US to be aired in East Africa like this. Do you have advice? Should I focus more on our history and then the show Exploring American in one article?

Thank you,

Scot

The reviewer who rejected your draft left a comment:

She fails WP:NACTOR. Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai is a good prominent role, but other than that nothing. She was only nominated for an award once, WP:GNG also failed since it does not cover Ashi in detail (and interviews are primary sources, we look for secondary ones).

@Ompatil502: - films are usually not made into articles until they are released and, normally, covered in multiple reliable reviews. I'd suggest waiting until it was out, grabbing 3 high quality reviews (not blogs etc) and adding them - that should be sufficient. Nosebagbear (talk) 11:28, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You have only one source which is not correctly formatted, we need significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Theroadislong (talk) 10:58, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Could you please help me With editing my first ARTICLE? I'm the Head of International Relations department of this University and I want to show some information using wikipedia. Unfortunately, English variant of Wikipedia is quite difficult than Russian or Ukrainian version. All texts was taken from official web-cite of University. So, please, could you kindly help me with the editing. Thank you for your help Razzhyvin (talk) 12:16, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't. WP:COI says conflict of interest editing is strongly discouraged. You also copied content from various pages of the school website, which is a copyright violation. Hope this helps. Regards, ―Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk • contribs) 06:48, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

XernonnE.L. (talk) 14:58, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi XernonnE.L.. The draft is in the pool to be reviewed. The backlog is about 5 weeks. You will receive feedback from the reviewer. The draft gives the impression of something written to praise the subject, perhaps by a family member or close friend. If you have a close connection to the subject, it is important that you disclose that. More information about that is on your talk page. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:03, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draft:Manchester Collective (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Having looked at a number of comparable institutions (e.g. Northern Chamber Orchestra, Manchester Camerata), we're really struggling with the "More than passing mentions or routine coverage, reliable sources about this subject INDEPENDENT of it showing notability" requirement.

This is a little bit of a Catch-22 as one of the main reasons for getting the article published is to help increase the profile of Manchester Collective. Over the past two years, we have accrued a significant number of reviews in a range of publications (predominately online) - https://manchestercollective.co.uk/news/ - but the implication from the guidelines is that this material is not either "notable" or "independent".

It would be really helpful if you could provide a little more direction on the type of material that needs to be submitted in order to satisfy the Wikipedia publishing criteria.

Elrainia (talk) 15:01, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Elrainia: if no reliable, independent publications have already written in depth about your orchestra then it is WP:TOOSOON for an article about it on Wikipedia. Trying to use Wikipedia to raise the profile of an organisation that hasn't already gained the attention of other publications is contrary to the objectives of Wikipedia. See WP:NOTPROMO.

Having trouble with my article being approved.. could anyone help me please

hrcreolenation 15:30, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

@Damiancvp: - the draft was declined for the reason in the comment - there are no references. Wikipedia articles require multiple, reliable, secondary sources. Large parts of the draft are written in a non-neutral advertorial tone "-Money is ready to rule his space in the rap game " etc. Have a look at referencing for beginners.

@Damiancvp: - I'm not sure if what I can see on your userpage is al there is to this draft, but if it is there are quite a number of reasons. Significantly more content is needed, backed by the reliable sources I mentioned above. Nosebagbear (talk) 16:10, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I find a professional editor to hire Any suggestions?

@Damiancvp: - Wikipedia really is not a fan of paid editing. I would advise you to read Paid Contribution Disclosure and Paid editing on Wikipedia before taking another step. Since it can be allowed I imagine someone can probably point you towards an editor, but I will not do so. Do be aware that scamming is an issue.

I am requesting a re review because of the fact that I am confused on how this violates the guidelines of wiki if there could be a clarification or if there was a way that I could improve it in the future to get it published. Jacob mcdill (talk) 17:30, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jacob mcdill: You've not added any sources to the draft, so it is impossible to verify anything that you've written. please read WP:V and WP:NHOAX. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:40, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
