I am unsure how I can site a reference or source for this article when all of the info is either on her Herbiceps page/profile, her Instagram or I obtained by chatting with her directly thru her OF page. Please advise. Thanks 69fbbfan (talk) 01:42, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- None of those are acceptable sources. If that's all you have, she would not merit a Wikipedia article at this time. An article must summarize what independent reliable sources say abiut the topic, not what it says about itself. 331dot (talk) 01:46, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why was my article declined?
Hello, my article "Wikipedia Company" was declined in the Articles for Creation process. I would like to understand the exact reason for the decline and how I can improve it for resubmission. Here is the submission link: https://en.wikipedia.orghttps://demo.azizisearch.com/lite/wikipedia/page/User_talk:HimuSEOPro?markasread=334899939&markasreadwiki=enwiki. Thanks in advance for your guidance! 103.114.97.102 (talk) 13:49, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Please log in when posting. I've fixed your header to provide a link to your draft as intended. You linked to your user talk page in your post. 331dot (talk) 13:54, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi IP editor. Please remember to login to your account when posting. Your draft article, titled Draft:Acrylic_Aquarium, was declined due to only having a single source to NatSCA. Your draft also reads like an essay. Wikipedia articles are summaries of reliable, published, mostly secondary sources. What you have written isn't a viable article in it's current state.
- Maybe you would like to improve the existing Horniman Museum article instead?
- Please have a close read of Help:Your first article which gives some tips on writing for Wikipedia. qcne (talk) 13:55, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- If you are HimuSEOPro, you should declare as a paid editor, see WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 13:56, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Team, I have updated the "Server Sundaram (Unreleased film)" movie page, but I need to change the title. The instructions suggest going to the "More" section and selecting "Move," but I can't find that option. Can someone guide me on how to proceed?

- Draft names are provisional and should not be considered definitive. If and when it is accepted, the reviewer will move it to an appropriate title. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:54, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- That's not a draft, @Jéské Couriano.
- @BlooBind - Tools are in different places depending on the skin and the options. For me, it used to be directly there, under "More", but now it's under "Tools", or in the "Tools" sidebar. It's possible tha the documentation hasn't caught up with newer skins. ColinFine (talk) 21:31, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks I'm able to see in tools.
- Could you please clarify me in this also, If I update an existing page and publish it, will it be visible on Google immediately, or do I need to submit it for review first and then publish it? What is the correct procedure? BlooBind (talk) 05:07, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why did my article get declined? Blixiarmastaja (talk) 17:55, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @Blixiarmastaja: do you mean Draft:Jinsoul? Because it is completely unreferenced. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:56, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Ohh, i apologise. Im new and this is my first article, what do i need to do more? :) Blixiarmastaja (talk) 18:00, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi @Blixiarmastaja, have you checked our criteria for musical artists at WP:NMUSIC? qcne (talk) 20:21, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello, @Blixiarmastaja. My earnest advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft. If you don't follow this advice but try to create an article without this preparation, you are likely to have a frustrating and disappointing experience with Wikipedia.

Where can I find good sources I can credit for my Jacob Asch page? Glammazon2 (talk) 19:48, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- They simply don't seem to exist which is why the draft was rejected. Theroadislong (talk) 20:14, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello, @Glammazon2. Did you read Your first article, and notability before creating your draft? Creating a draft without first finding the required sources is like building a house without first surveying the plot to make sure it is fit to build on. ColinFine (talk) 21:36, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Where can I find more information on the mystery writer Arthur Lyons? Glammazon2 (talk) 20:38, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know, @Glammazon2. We expect editors to find sources themselves. Have you checked literary reviews in newspapers and magazines either online or in your local library? qcne (talk) 20:44, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding to this article: if it's not a musician and youtuber who become accidentally did a musical work but not know as musician. Javed Ali khan shekh (talk) 22:55, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Whatever they are, the draft has been thrice rejected. It's the end of the line. 331dot (talk) 23:24, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The References to this article are verifiable references, can you point out any that are not verifiable on the internet. The Citations also even though there were only 3 citations linked directly to the source materials. Windy City Steve (talk) 23:32, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- YouTube and Find A Grave are not considered reliable sources. YouTube content is entirely user-generated without editoral control and fact checking(unless the video is from a reputable news outlet on its verified channel) Find A Grave is also user generated. The main text of the draft is completely unsourced. 331dot (talk) 02:37, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
