Article publication Help Hello wiki team,

Thank you for assessing my content. I am interested in contributing valuable information to the Wikipedia knowledge hub. however, I am new to here. Please help me to how I can do so. Jameskelivn22 (talk) 06:06, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jameskelivn22: you can find pretty much all you need for article creation by following the advice at WP:YFA. As for general editing advice, the welcome message on your talk page provides many useful links.

As for advice on the AfC review process and drafting, you'll need to be more specific as to what sort of help you're looking for? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:33, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have added Multiple independent references. Kindly suggest what specific changes and references are required. 2406:B400:72:B39:2846:C6C3:986C:8310 (talk) 08:40, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This draft has been rejected and will therefore not be considered further. If new sources are available which were not considered earlier and which you believe would establish notability, you may appeal directly to the reviewer who rejected this. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why did my draft get declined? I just made a circular redirect for the template.

What additional sources could this article be missing? We've illustrated that he is an american lawyer and an author with proven citations from several linked resources. 2601:140:9502:23B0:10D8:58F2:6159:9627 (talk) 14:07, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need to read and understand the notability criteria, which are linked to from every decline notice attached to this draft. Being "an american lawyer and an author" are not among these, at least not in and of themselves. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:51, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Poplopoa: this draft has been rejected and will therefore not be considered further.

Don't let it stop you helping people, though; that is an eminently laudable goal. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:32, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1. We have created sandbox with all details and hyper links. While submitting it is showing an error to update the references list. We have already added references list. Request to resolve this and hel[ us to submit the contents for review. 2, My user name is appearing in title heading. Want to replace it as Dr. Asha Prasuna as title of my page. Prasunaeco (talk) 17:20, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Prasunaeco: I have moved your draft from your sandbox to the draft space, you can now find it at Draft:Asha Prasuna. I also added the AfC submission template; when you're ready to submit this for review, just click on the blue 'submit' button.

Before you do, there are a couple of things you need to put right:

1. You need to support the draft contents with inline citations, see WP:REFB / WP:ILC.
2. Please remove all inline external links from the body text; convert to citations where relevant.

There is also quite a lot of layout, formatting, etc. work to be done, but those can be dealt with once we've established that the subject is notable and all the information has been verified.

BTW, who is "we" in your question? And what is your relationship to the subject? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:33, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

help me Raisingmamaygma (talk) 17:30, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Raisingmamaygma: you'll need to be more specific than that. What help do you need?

There is nothing at Draft:Reymark Alcorcon, except a redirect to a non-existent target Reymark Alcorcon (Web Developer) which has been deleted. There is a draft at Draft:Reymark Alcorcon (Web Developer), but that has been rejected.

It appears you're engaged in promotional editing, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. My advice would be not to pursue this any further, as you're likely to get blocked for spamming, sooner or later. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:38, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I need help with citing references, specifically for this page. This is my first page that I made & it’s harder than it looks. And I’m asking what do I do about it? Cappyz (talk) 18:40, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cappyz: for notability per WP:GNG, we need to see significant coverage in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the subject. Your draft cites a YouTube video by the publisher (non-independent), interview with the developer (ditto), and what looks like a crowd-sourced set of reviews (user-generated), none of which meets the GNG standard. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:40, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks for the tip. I’ll get rid of those. Cappyz (talk) 19:58, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like guidance on why the page was rejected? LeahNJ (talk) 19:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LeahNJ: per the reviewer's comment, "This is written up in a more promotional manner than a LinkedIn resume." -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: slowly going insane because of Wikipedia’s wacky rules & conditions.

Cappyz (talk) 20:40, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft Draft:One Hand Clapping (video game) was rejected it is not a notable topic, it won't be considered further. Theroadislong (talk) 20:46, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cappyz, the "rules & conditions" are not "wacky" your just ignoring what the notices say. The notices say multiple, in-depth, reliable, secondary, independent sources are required and you kept resubmitting with primary non-independent sources. KylieTastic (talk) 20:59, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I should slow down on reading. Cappyz (talk) 21:24, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting assistance because I need help to fix up my article and publish it, need help from an expert to help me fix the issues I am having when I am trying to publish it Alexjames12 (talk) 21:41, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexjames12 the Help desk is here to provide advice but does not assist in creating articles. What I can tell you is that most, if not all, of the sources are not reliable so suggest taking a look at WP:WikiProject Albums/Sources for some sources that are considered reliable along with Your first article.

Unclear on why article was unaccepted. There is significant coverage in local media and semi-frequent national coverage. Currently holding a high level position at a branch of a major national organization. REF17 (talk) 22:15, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@REF17 holding a position at a local branch of national organization is not enough nor is being a candidate for a local political position (see WP:NPOL). The national coverage is all brief mentions or named in a list which is not nearly enough to meet notability. S0091 (talk) 22:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
