:That's like "Please tell me whether my house is likely to fall down, but don't mention the foundations". An article is a summary of what ] say about a subject, and very little else. Absolutely nothing you know about the subject belongs in the article unless you can find a published source for it. Large amousnts of your draft are unreferenced (and while policies don't require that everything actually be referenced as long as it could be, reviewers tend to be unhappy if references that could be there are missing). ] (]) 11:43, 20 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
How do I reference correctly though? Like first a brief summary of whatever, but like do I have to phrase it so the reference goes in perfectly or something? | |||

The guide pages aren't helping at all | |||
:Could you please elaborate? What kind of help do you need? Regarding the tone issue for which the draft was declined, I'd say it focuses much too heavily on the ISATT's dreams, mission and vision and far too little on the hard facts of who they are and what they do. In short, it reads more like a storyteller's tale than an encyclopedia article. ] (]) 01:33, 4 July 2013 (UTC) | |||

:@]: you clearly know how to reference, technically speaking at least, because you've managed to create 12 citations which seem okay to me. The problem is that you're citing some non-reliable sources like Twitter, and much of the content in this draft is unreferenced – where is all that information coming from, and how do we know it's true? Every material statement should come from a reliable source, and you need to tell us the source by citing it. -- ] (]) 14:09, 20 December 2024 (UTC) | |||

Finding reliable sources will be easier if you use the correct spelling.

After waiting for over a month, I have now had this article rejected twice and I am becoming a little confused. Could someone please give me clear guidelines on where it is falling short? My first gatekeeper told me that some of the article was too colloquial and gave me examples which I corrected. These had originally been quotes which I had paraphrased but this had not been made clear so I altered or deleted them. | |||
== 20:22, 20 December 2024 review of submission by Juaniferrero3 == | |||
This time round I have a different gatekeeper and s/he is still unhappy but I dont know why. The comment below is too vague to be helpful. The website/technology I am describing is a brand new content discovery service using facial coding technology in an entirely new way and so is of interest to people working in this field. If the concern is that it is part of a business, I have used as my template all the other businesses listed on wikipedia working in similar fields, such as Flooved, Valve and Rotten Tomatoes. If Flooved is acceptable I am baffled as to why my own piece is not. Flooved is just a list of founders and partners with a brief summary of what they do. By Wiki's terms and conditions, it is a blatant advertisement. | |||

Also, this reviewer appears to misunderstand the nature of my quotation as they come from a variety of reliable, independent journalistic sources, including France, UK, online business site and Israel reporting on their experiences of the website at its launch. None of them has been generated by the creator of the subject and it is insulting to suggest this is the case when they are so clearly documented and verifiable. | |||

"This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed.

When I click within the text, then click on Cite and add the template information about the new citation, it makes the new entry #1 in the reference list and increments the reference number of every existing reference. It's incredibly confusing to have the reference numbers change all the time. | |||
Is there any way to do this so the new citation gets the next number following the last of the existing references? Thanks ] (]) 21:35, 20 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
: No! | |||
: "This behaviour is by design", as programmers love to say. I really can't see how it could work any other way. | |||
: Like most software bugs, it's important, and hard, to say just what the ''real'' problem is. Is it that you're getting the new cite pasted in at the top of the article? That's a ''different'' problem (and shouldn't be happening). But really, references should be, have to be, and are, numbered in sequence. That means they will get renumbered to maintain this sequence, no matter the order you add them in. Welcome to the world of academic publishing. | |||
: I'd suggest using the code editor, not the visual editor, and learning to work a bit more hands-on with the wikitext source code. It's not really that hard (everything is weird, so all of us just work by copying around the last snippet that worked right!) | |||
: Also ''just bang it in any old how'', explain what's happening, what's wrong, and get some old greybeard to fix the annoying details afterwards. The wiki editing model is good at that, if we can just allow it and not get tied up in ]. Also ''use the Talk: page'' as much as possible. It solves so many problems. | |||
: This is an interesting topic for an article and I look forward to it going live. But it does need more sourcing for some sections. ] (]) 23:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
::Thanks. I will do as you suggest and just bang the references in. I am aware that I lack published sourcing for some stuff, sad to say. For instance, the Herbert Morrison statement was made to me by my mother and written down by me many years ago, but that cannot possibly be an acceptable source. My plan is to add as many references as I can, then strip out the stuff I'm sure will not pass the reviewers. Some of the relationship details are in geni.com and I don't know if that's acceptable. ] (]) 23:32, 21 December 2024 (UTC) | |||

:Hello Nigel, the message you quoted above is a templated one. Due to the huge number of submissions Misplaced Pages receives it is necessary to use 'canned' decline reasons. Because of this some parts of the message may not apply to every submission. The two problems I see is that the tone of parts of the submission are not quite right for an encyclopaedia. The origins section in particular opens with sentence that's like something the marketing department came up with for their sales pitch and contains ] of the cited sources. Also, "The launch of ThrillMe at Cannes-based MIPCube garnered considerable press interest." needs backing up with citations to said press interest. The second problem I find is the lack of in-depth direct coverage of the subject in well known independent sources.

Greetings. I'm trying to establish a new page, but am unsure how to adequately address the comments provided to my first draft. I added several additional references, but am not sure that will be adequate. In short, I'm trying address some confusion with the hierarchy of existing Misplaced Pages articles. There are articles about Air Station Elizabeth City and the Elizabeth City Regional Airport. However, these are just two of several Base Elizabeth City tenants. My goal is to create a Base page to clarify the structure, better communicate what's at the campus, and provide a framework that will enable better information moving forward. Without a Base page, there isn't a location for this information to be built. Contributing to the challenge, the general pubic is largely unclear of the differing functions on the Base, so external references I can cite often have embedded in them the very confusion that I'm trying to address with this article. I know I cannot cite myself, but I'm a career Coast Guard officer who has worked on the Base at high levels. I'm seeking to address a problem I've seen both in the community here, and to a lesser degree within the Coast Guard itself. Especially for new members transferring to Elizabeth City, it is difficult to understand the makeup of the location. My hope is that this new page can become a repository for useful information to address these concerns, but it must exist first. Thanks for any help or guidance you can provide. ] (]) 15:25, 21 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
:The purposes you outline above are no doubt very laudable, but they are not what we do at Misplaced Pages. A Misplaced Pages article is a summary of what reliable indpendent sources say about a ] topic, and very little else. "A base page to clarify the structure" doesn't sound like that - it sounds more like ], which is not permitted in Misplaced Pages articles. ] (]) 18:00, 21 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
I reviewed many articles that have encyclopedic value on Misplaced Pages. In the world of minerals and the associated gemstones, there are recognized names such as Tanzanite that are commonly used and their inclusion in wikipedia has immense value to the public. Mainly because the world of minerals and gemstones has so much misinformation, let alone commercial fraud. | |||
::Perhaps I'm expressing myself poorly, but this isn't original research. I'm just trying to create a page for an actual location where about 3,000 people work everyday and generates ~50% of the GDP for northeastern North Carolina. I want to create the page as a "skeleton" that can be built on to flesh out the details of this place by myself and others in the future. My reference to structure was that, to establish how the place is organized, so that there is a place for the details to subsequently be filled in.

I've put a fair amount of time into this (creating a page and learning all the rules/software/formatting/ect has a steep learning curve) for what still may be 100% waste effort. I'm afraid that most people will give up much quicker, and Misplaced Pages will devolve to the major mainstream dated info model that the now defunct encyclopedias of yore used. In the balance between the unconstrained free for all of the early wiki days and absolute odious control of a rigorous academic reference, this feels too much like the latter.

== 15:41, 21 December 2024 review of submission by ProofandTrust == | |||
The intent of the submission was to help provide the same facts as the wiki article on tanzanite. More importantly was I was using the historical information from the highly accredited Gemological Institute of America and the fact that the National Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC, in their natural history museum, Hall of Gems, identifies the mineral as Royal Azel, with the subtitle sugilite, in the same manner as Tanzanite with the subtitle zoisite, a base mineral name. | |||

Dear Reviewer, | |||
Thank you for your feedback on my submission. I’ve carefully reviewed your explanation but still find it unclear why my article was not accepted. | |||
I suppose that when the many visitors to the Smithsonian Museum see this "Royal Azel" display, they might wonder, Hey let me look it up on Wiki pedia. I decided to submit the factual history related to Royal Azel as it relates to sugilite in the same manner the Tanzanite article does. | |||
I noticed that Misplaced Pages currently lacks a dedicated definition of Vendor Risk Assessment, a fundamental concept in information security. My goal is to provide an encyclopedic explanation of this widely used term to inform readers about its importance and relevance. | |||
Your feedback mentioned that the article resembles an essay. However, I intended it to be a neutral, fact-based description aligned with Misplaced Pages’s standards. If there are specific sections or phrases that need revision to make it more suitable, I’d appreciate detailed guidance. | |||
I’m committed to improving the article to meet Misplaced Pages's guidelines and would greatly value further clarification to ensure it aligns with community standards. | |||
Thank you for your time and assistance. ] (]) 15:41, 21 December 2024 (UTC) | |||
I would like to correct any errors that may exist. I tried to do my best not to make a "value statement" about Royal Azel or sugilite in the article. | |||
:Hi @]. Your draft is a blog-post style essay/how to guide/critique. That's not what an encyclopaedic entry on Misplaced Pages about a subject should look like.

I'm confused as to why my page was deleted. This is for an author that has written 40+ books for major publishers like Harper Collins, Simon and Schuster, and Hachete.

:I can't view the deleted page, but I will ask RHaworth to comment here. | |||
:I will say that adding links to "publisher pages" and Amazon is not useful in proving the notability of an author, because neither Amazon nor the publisher are independent of the author. Amazon and the publisher both exist to sell the author's books. Instead, what you would need, at the least, is independent reliable sources that review the author's work in detail. For example, reviews of reasonable length in '']'', the '']'', '']'' or similar. An article in an independent reliable source ''about the author'' (not just about one of his books) would be even better. | |||

:* OK Fredsbro, come clean - who are the "we" to whom you refer? Your message actually gives a hint to the deletion reason: you say "publisher pages and Amazon". Links to the publisher page are allowed. Links to Amazon are simply not needed. But what you have omitted are links to independent reviews.

:The main problem is the tone, style and focus of the submission. It reads like an advertisement or marketing brochure, not like an encyclopedia article.

Phrasing like "a fun way to encourage other people to recognize their happiness" and "to enable managers to easily add some happiness in the workplace daily" also seem to be uncritical repetition of marketing claims the group itself makes, rather than presenting actual facts backed by independent reliable sources. | |||

'Jane Emerssen' is my pen name for the purposes of my latest venture into full-length fiction. All my previously published work, which has been largely non-fiction associated with giving advice over problems encountered in the recruitment and selection process, has been under my real name, Judith Johnstone. These books, published by How To Books, are now out of print but still available on Amazon. In December 2012, How To Books were bought by the publishers Constable & Robinson. | |||
'A Necessary Fiction' is my first novel using my pen name. It is due to be published in August and I have been advised to begin a marketing strategy - hence this attempt to find a space on Misplaced Pages.

I just don't understand why this article has been rejected for a second time by someone calling himself Arctic Kangaroo. All I have done is to translate the Russian language page of Misplaced Pages http://ru.wikipedia.org/Пермяк_солёные_уши into English. The first time, OK, I didn't give a reference to the Russian page and the person who checked it maybe didn't realise that it was just a translation.

I want to emphasise it is not my intention to regard Misplaced Pages as a marketing tool.

01:26, 19 December 2024 review of submission by Uryder23
I’m not sure if this comment belongs on the draft page or the help desk, so I’m starting with the latter.
In trying to understand the rejection of my article on Fanny Breeze, I read the Misplaced Pages article on reliable sources. Based on my understanding, References 1 and 5 should pass the test, with the sources being the Orange County Register of Deeds, the NC State Park Division, both of these understood to be reliable government agencies. Reference 6 comes from the Eno River Association, a local but trusted conservation organization.
Beverly Scarlett’s role here is as a descendant of the subject, but she has also served as a District Attorney and District Court Judge in Orange County, so I would expect that would move the needle closer to being a reliable source, so that perhaps we can add References 2 and 3 to the list of reliable sources. If it helps, I can try to vet the credentials of local educators Dave Cook and Joe Liles, the narrators from Reference 4.
My desire here is to provide some visibility about an individual who made a difference to thousands of people. It’s not easy to find high quality sources for a person who was born almost 200 years ago, so I’ve offered those that I can find.
Please let me know if there is some way to modify the article so that it might be accepted.
Thanks, Tom
Uryder23 (talk) 01:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Uryder23: the first thing that strikes me is that half the paragraphs (some very short, admittedly, but still) are unreferenced. So even if your sources were all undeniably reliable, the draft would fail the test of
not adequately supported by reliable sources
. - Source 1 may well be reliable, but it isn't a published source (by the looks of it, at least). Source 5 appears to be just a photo; it is probably "reliable", but only serves to support a tiny factoid in the draft.
- The bigger problem (than sources being reliable or not) is that they are all primary, apart from #2 possibly, and as such unable to establish notability. That's what I would have declined this draft for myself. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:25, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- @DoubleGrazing @ColinFine For both of you - thanks for the clarification. I'm understanding more about why don't have what we need for this page. I'm disappointed, but your explanations will help me explain to the other folks on the team why we can't meet the standards. Uryder23 (talk) 12:20, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Uryder23. To enlarge on DoubleGrazing's reply: the decline notice focuses on reliable sources. This is the most important criteria, but there are two others which are nearly as important: independence from the subject - very little which is written, published, commission, or based on the words of, the subject or their associates, can be cited; and significant coverage - a source which only mentions the subject in passing is of little use, and one which does not mention the subject is almost always irrelevant.

- It's not written in an encyclopedic fashion, it's full of MOS:PUFFERY, basically every fact is unsourced, and there's nothing presented that suggests the subject is notable. Even if this were a notable basketball player, the article would need to be completely rewritten; it has very little actually about the subject. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 06:44, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, The page I wrote about Radio Dublino (https://en.wikipedia.org/Draft:Radio_Dublino) was rejected for lack of sources. I removed the weak sources and added many more reliable sources.

Tapiro Maccu (talk) 11:11, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Tapiro Maccu: just for the record, this draft was declined in June, but only resubmitted on Nov 19th, so you've been only waiting for another review for exactly one month. And no, there is no way to expedite this process, as we have 1,800+ pending drafts to review, and they are not reviewed in any particular order. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:22, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

- The purpose of citing a source is to give the reader a means to verify some information in the article. If a source performs that function on its own, leave the citation in. If it verifies information verified by another source, consider removing one of them. If it does not verify a piece of information in the article, remove it. And if it is a non-independent source whose only function in the article is to verify the existence of something (eg an artistic work) consider whether that work ought to be mentioned in the article at all.

I am unaffiliated with the organization, but think this page would be useful to those interested in conservation. Please advise, I believe this information to include only straightforward facts that I found about the company in published sources online and nothing that is promotional. Sapr1930 (talk) 20:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Sapr1930 The main issue and the first point of the declination reasoning on the draft specifies rather that the issue is the submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. The reason for including an article on Misplaced Pages is irrelevant to its creation. We are instead focused only on things that are WP:Notable. Bobby Cohn (talk) 21:01, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- hELLO, @Sapr1930. The trouble is that none of the sources you cite are independent of OneCanopy. (It is possible that the BizWest one is - it's behind a paywall, so I can't see it) but I doubt it. Misplaced Pages has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Misplaced Pages is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources. An article that says what the subject wants to say is very likely to sound promotional.
- I suggest checking your sources against the triple criteria in WP:42: they need to be all three in order to contribute to establishing notability. ColinFine (talk) 22:12, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for this info. The Coloradoan, BizWest, and Sky-HiNews are all newspapers. They have nothing to do with OneCanopy, they simply reported on the company. The Wild Things & Wild Places podcast is also independent of OneCanopy but interviewed a member of OneCanopy for an episode. The other two sources are national organizations completely independent of OneCanopy and I only shared them to support the statement that OneCanopy held memberships in those notable organizations. Please advise further as I'm not understanding how newspapers which are independent and reliable sources are not considered independent of the company, OneCanopy, which is a reforestation nursery with no affiliation to news media. Sapr1930 (talk) 22:52, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not saying that the organs are not indpendent, but that those articles are not independent. For example, The Coloradan have very clearly interviewed Brinkman, and based their article on what he said (even though only couple of paragraphs are explicitly quoted). That is not independent, it is echoing what the company says. ColinFine (talk) 23:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- So you will only accept articles in which they did not interview people that are associated with the company? Sapr1930 (talk) 23:35, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I drafted the article about the NQSF earlier this year after becoming aware of them through some community events - and reached out to find more details. Since I drafted the article, I have subsequently been employed by them. The article did not make it past the Draft phase, feedback being it needed more resources to reach threshold for coverage.
How should I proceed? It would no longer be suitable of me to continue a draft based on my position? Does anyone think this page should meet the notable criteria
I'm newish to etiquette etc. so I apologise for any well-intended mistakes in advance. Sportsguyaus (talk) 23:04, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Sportsguyaus. You may continue to work on the draft, provided you first make the mandatory declaration (normally on your user page) of your status as a paid editor.
- You will need to make sure that your sources meet all three of the criteria in 42. If you cannot find at least three sources that meet these criteria, the Foundation does not meet Misplaced Pages's criteria for notability, and you should give up.
- If you can find three or more, you should forget absolutely everything you know about the Foundation, and write a neutral summary of what those sources say. Even if you know something that directly invalidates what one of the sources says, you may not put your knowledge in unless it is published - and depending on what the information is, you probably shouldn't even if it is published but only by the Foundation. This is because Misplaced Pages works on verifiability, not truth - and it is also one of the reasons why editing with a conflict of interest can be difficult. ColinFine (talk) 23:16, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @ColinFine, this is very helpful. I'll conduct a review for notability prior to continuing, and be sure to work through verifiable works and not truth as you pointed out. Sportsguyaus (talk) 00:03, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

- @MajorbucksYT: If you want the draft to be reviewed again (that is to say, if you want someone to check it to see if it can be accepted), you need to submit it by clicking the "Resubmit" button. Why would you not want to know that the referencing is inadequate, if that should be the case? --bonadea contributions talk 06:43, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- That's like "Please tell me whether my house is likely to fall down, but don't mention the foundations". An article is a summary of what reliable independent sources say about a subject, and very little else. Absolutely nothing you know about the subject belongs in the article unless you can find a published source for it. Large amousnts of your draft are unreferenced (and while policies don't require that everything actually be referenced as long as it could be, reviewers tend to be unhappy if references that could be there are missing).

- @MajorbucksYT: you clearly know how to reference, technically speaking at least, because you've managed to create 12 citations which seem okay to me. The problem is that you're citing some non-reliable sources like Twitter, and much of the content in this draft is unreferenced – where is all that information coming from, and how do we know it's true? Every material statement should come from a reliable source, and you need to tell us the source by citing it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:09, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Dear KylieTastic, Currently, the available references I have are primarily from social media channels (mainly Facebook), as StrongBull FC is still in its early stages and has not yet received significant coverage in mainstream media.

I honestly do not have any additional sources. I am using a copy of the score which I have cited. I am familiar with this work for over 40 years. What other sources could I include? Tedelaney2006 (talk) 19:23, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- A Misplaced Pages article summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the topic, showing how it meets the special Misplaced Pages definition of notability. If no independent sources give this work significant coverage, it would not merit a Misplaced Pages article. 331dot (talk) 19:55, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Tedelaney2006: I have moved the draft to Draft:Symphony No. 2 (Stenhammar) (the previous title still works, and redirects to the new one) and fixed the spelling in the draft text as well. Finding reliable sources will be easier if you use the correct spelling. By using the Google Scholar search engine I find a respectable number of sources – some are in Swedish, which is acceptable, although English sources are preferred in the English-language version of Misplaced Pages. You might also be able to get help identifying reliable sources if you ask at the WikiProject Classical music talk page. --bonadea contributions talk 09:15, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

21:35, 20 December 2024 review of submission by Slim8029
When I click within the text, then click on Cite and add the template information about the new citation, it makes the new entry #1 in the reference list and increments the reference number of every existing reference. It's incredibly confusing to have the reference numbers change all the time. Is there any way to do this so the new citation gets the next number following the last of the existing references? Thanks Slim8029 (talk) 21:35, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- No!
- "This behaviour is by design", as programmers love to say. I really can't see how it could work any other way.
- Like most software bugs, it's important, and hard, to say just what the real problem is. Is it that you're getting the new cite pasted in at the top of the article? That's a different problem (and shouldn't be happening). But really, references should be, have to be, and are, numbered in sequence. That means they will get renumbered to maintain this sequence, no matter the order you add them in. Welcome to the world of academic publishing.
- I'd suggest using the code editor, not the visual editor, and learning to work a bit more hands-on with the wikitext source code. It's not really that hard (everything is weird, so all of us just work by copying around the last snippet that worked right!)
- Also just bang it in any old how, explain what's happening, what's wrong, and get some old greybeard to fix the annoying details afterwards. The wiki editing model is good at that, if we can just allow it and not get tied up in WP:BUREAUCRACY. Also use the Talk: page as much as possible. It solves so many problems.
- This is an interesting topic for an article and I look forward to it going live. But it does need more sourcing for some sections. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I will do as you suggest and just bang the references in. I am aware that I lack published sourcing for some stuff, sad to say. For instance, the Herbert Morrison statement was made to me by my mother and written down by me many years ago, but that cannot possibly be an acceptable source. My plan is to add as many references as I can, then strip out the stuff I'm sure will not pass the reviewers. Some of the relationship details are in geni.com and I don't know if that's acceptable.

15:25, 21 December 2024 review of submission by JaredWEngland
Greetings. I'm trying to establish a new page, but am unsure how to adequately address the comments provided to my first draft. I added several additional references, but am not sure that will be adequate. In short, I'm trying address some confusion with the hierarchy of existing Misplaced Pages articles. There are articles about Air Station Elizabeth City and the Elizabeth City Regional Airport. However, these are just two of several Base Elizabeth City tenants. My goal is to create a Base page to clarify the structure, better communicate what's at the campus, and provide a framework that will enable better information moving forward. Without a Base page, there isn't a location for this information to be built. Contributing to the challenge, the general pubic is largely unclear of the differing functions on the Base, so external references I can cite often have embedded in them the very confusion that I'm trying to address with this article. I know I cannot cite myself, but I'm a career Coast Guard officer who has worked on the Base at high levels. I'm seeking to address a problem I've seen both in the community here, and to a lesser degree within the Coast Guard itself. Especially for new members transferring to Elizabeth City, it is difficult to understand the makeup of the location. My hope is that this new page can become a repository for useful information to address these concerns, but it must exist first. Thanks for any help or guidance you can provide. JaredWEngland (talk) 15:25, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- The purposes you outline above are no doubt very laudable, but they are not what we do at Misplaced Pages. A Misplaced Pages article is a summary of what reliable indpendent sources say about a notable topic, and very little else. "A base page to clarify the structure" doesn't sound like that - it sounds more like original research, which is not permitted in Misplaced Pages articles. ColinFine (talk) 18:00, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps I'm expressing myself poorly, but this isn't original research. I'm just trying to create a page for an actual location where about 3,000 people work everyday and generates ~50% of the GDP for northeastern North Carolina. I want to create the page as a "skeleton" that can be built on to flesh out the details of this place by myself and others in the future. My reference to structure was that, to establish how the place is organized, so that there is a place for the details to subsequently be filled in. Other Coast Guard Bases, much smaller and less significant in mission, personnel, and reach, have a page. Why not this one?

- @JaredWEngland: All but the articles on Ketchikan and Cape Cod predate the drafting process entirely, and those two predate drafting being made all-but mandatory. They did not go thru the same process as your draft has to. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 18:40, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- (ec) Beware of the other stuff exists argument. Those other articles could themselves be inappropriate and just not addressed yet by volunteers.
- A draft article does not need to be complete, but it does need to summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the base. If you have a source for the claim that it generates 50% of the GDP for part of North Carolina, that's a start. 331dot (talk) 18:44, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've edited again and resubmitted. Unfortunately, many of the sources for information I have aren't available on the internet, so citing them isn't possible. The most recent adds & references what I was able to find in existing sources.
- Taking a step back, I understand the need for a draft/review process but this feels excessive. I've put a fair amount of time into this (creating a page and learning all the rules/software/formatting/ect has a steep learning curve) for what still may be 100% waste effort. I'm afraid that most people will give up much quicker, and Misplaced Pages will devolve to the major mainstream dated info model that the now defunct encyclopedias of yore used. In the balance between the unconstrained free for all of the early wiki days and absolute odious control of a rigorous academic reference, this feels too much like the latter. However, I'm an infrequent Misplaced Pages contributor and light financial backer, so my opinion is likely of low value. Volunteers are the magic of Misplaced Pages, and that's mostly you. Even though this has been frustrating, thanks for what you do! JaredWEngland (talk) 20:45, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- @JaredWEngland: You can still cite - and we can still accept - offline sources, as long as they are cited properly. If we disallowed offline sources, we'd basically have to decimate every article on historical events and figures that we have. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 18:14, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello again @JaredWEngland. Neither the number of people who work there nor the revenue it generates is necessarily indicative of meeting Misplaced Pages's criteria for notability. Meeting those criteria is the absolute first stage of creating an article, because otherwise the article is not going to get accepted. ColinFine (talk) 19:51, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. I've added a bunch more references to substantiate my opinion that it does meet the notability guidelines. However, to me that criteria reads with a fair amount of subjectivity, and other opinions may differ. If I'm again told it doesn't meet them, then I'll still disagree, but appreciate the clarity and will drop the subject. JaredWEngland (talk) 20:53, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Dear Reviewer,
Thank you for your feedback on my submission. I’ve carefully reviewed your explanation but still find it unclear why my article was not accepted. I noticed that Misplaced Pages currently lacks a dedicated definition of Vendor Risk Assessment, a fundamental concept in information security. My goal is to provide an encyclopedic explanation of this widely used term to inform readers about its importance and relevance. Your feedback mentioned that the article resembles an essay. However, I intended it to be a neutral, fact-based description aligned with Misplaced Pages’s standards. If there are specific sections or phrases that need revision to make it more suitable, I’d appreciate detailed guidance. I’m committed to improving the article to meet Misplaced Pages's guidelines and would greatly value further clarification to ensure it aligns with community standards.
Thank you for your time and assistance. ProofandTrust (talk) 15:41, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @ProofandTrust. Your draft is a blog-post style essay/how to guide/critique. That's not what an encyclopaedic entry on Misplaced Pages about a subject should look like. Instead, you should be paraphrasing reliable published sources (not blog posts, which most of your sources are) in a dry, factual manner using the Misplaced Pages Voice. I am afraid you will have to completely re-write your draft from scratch and find new sources for there to be any chance of it being accepted. qcne (talk) 16:36, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

10:54, 22 December 2024 review of submission by Batoenonghistoryador
Hello,
I would like to ask for your help regarding the draft title of an article I am currently writing. If possible, could you change the title to "Atty. Howard Calleja et al. v. Executive Secretary et al."?
Additionally, I have a few questions:
1. How should I cite sources that are in PDF format? 2. In writing the article, is it permissible to list all the issues, given that they are material to the whole article? I am concerned that it might be flagged as a directory. Should I make it concise and risk omitting the core of the issues to shorten it?
Thank you so much for your guidance!
Batoenonghistoryador (talk) 10:54, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Batoenonghistoryador: the title isn't important at this stage, this will be moved to a different title anyway when (if) accepted, and at that point the reviewer will place it at the correct title.
- You can cite online PDFs with the {{cite web}} template. The
format=
parameter takes PDF as value, but you don't even have to specify that, the template picks it up from the file type automatically. - Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by your last question (#2), could you elaborate? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:50, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don't fully understand question 2 either, but I suspect that I can answer it by saying that a Misplaced Pages article should be a summary of what independent reliably published sources say about a subject, and very little else. If independent commentators talk about all the issues, then you can list them; if no independent commentator refers to some issue, why should it appear in an encyclopaedia article at all?
- As to question 1, DoubleGrazing has answered the technical part, but the question arises of whether these PDFs have been reliably published or not. ColinFine (talk) 19:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for this informative response. Batoenonghistoryador (talk) 00:29, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

- You're welcome to invite collaborators on the draft. Thank you for declaring your COI - I have corrected the formatting on your user page so that the declaration actually appears as it should.
- One of the first things you and they should do is to cite reliable published sources for all the unsourced material in the draft, and remove it if you can't find sources. You should also edit the text to remove all instances of "we": this is not in any sense the Club's article, but Misplaced Pages's article about the club, which should be almost entirely based on what people wholly unconnected with the club have chosen to publish about it, not on what the club or its associates say or want to say.
- You should also unbold the section headers. ColinFine (talk) 20:10, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

17:45, 22 December 2024 review of submission by LR.127
This is a comment on an existing Misplaced Pages article already submitted through AfC - I had declined it previously for doubts on notability, which have faded after a deep discussion here on the Rafael de Miguel González page. The article was then accepted. Since then, I feel that loads more unsourced information has been added that question the neutrality of the original draft.
I do not intend to send this article to AfD, hence why I merely aim to discuss it here - at worst, the article could be reverted to its revision when accepted, and newer edits could be trimmed or otherwise removed.
I'm courtesy pinging a few people who contributed to the previous discussion: User:Timtrent, User:Joe Roe, User:Benison, User:Mr.choppers, and User:asilvering. Cheers. LR.127 (talk) 17:45, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

- Please see the message left by the reviewer, as well as the policies linked to therein. 331dot (talk) 18:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Bentasyt.1. 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 Misplaced Pages 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.
- Very brief summary of writing an article:
- Find several sources which are reliably published, wholly independent of the subject of the article, and contain significant coverage of the subject. See WP:42
- If you can't find at least three such sources, give up and do something else.
- If you can find them, forget anything you may know about the subject, and write a summary of what those sources say about it.

Why was the article declined Mariah Hopkins (talk) 20:03, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Courtesy link: User:Mariah Hopkins/sandbox ColinFine (talk) 20:16, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- It was declined because it doesn't have enough independent reliable citations to establish that she meets Misplaced Pages's criteria for notability - see WP:42. Of the three out of 15 citations that even might meet those criteria (actually 2, because 2 of them are the same source), the Lambo piece does not have significant coverage of her, so the TempoStub is the only one that even might be an acceptable source - though I suspect it is based on an interview or press release, so is not truly independent). Even if it is, one source is not enough to establish reliability, and most of the draft is not cited.
- Misplaced Pages has little interest in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Misplaced Pages is almost entirely interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. If enough material is cited from independent sources to establish notability, a limited amount of uncontroversial factual information may be added from non-independent sources.
- Resubmitting the draft without making any changes is not recommended, and may be regarded as disruptive editing.
- My comments to another editor above are equally applicable to your case. ColinFine (talk) 20:28, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Regarding the decline of making the draft a article. After careful review of wikipedias policy, My understanding is that Fictional works do not have to cite sources.

- @Tropical Appreciater10001-400: not so; every article has to cite its sources.
- In reviewing Misplaced Pages policies, you appear to have missed the one about not publishing hoaxes and fictitious things of assorted types. If you wish to tell the world about your idea, you need to find some other platform to do that; perhaps one of the many blogging sites out there. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:35, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your feedback. I understand the concern regarding the use of fictional works on Misplaced Pages. However, I wanted to clarify that Palame is a fictional setting created for a Roblox game, and it exists in that context. While it is indeed fictional, it is a component of a larger creative project that others might find interesting. If this is not appropriate for Misplaced Pages, I would be happy to explore other ways to share this concept, but I thought it was worth explaining the context.
- Thank you for your time and consideration. Tropical Appreciater10001-400 (talk) 08:39, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, wherever you heard that, your understanding is incorrect. Perhaps you are referring to plot summaries of films and books(which don't need to be cited as they can be verified by reading the book/watching the film). Misplaced Pages is not a host of fictional content. 331dot (talk) 08:35, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- I believe i understand now. for a draft/document to be accepted it must have media and/or publicity, or any outwards sources. such as a videos on social media of the creation. and/or if the game was published, and is avalible for the public on the platform (Roblox) to clarify, yes it is published on Roblox, but is not widely played or known, if you do say i can provide with you with a link if needed. but i do think i understand.

- It says that my sources should be: in-depth, reliable, secondary and independent. My sources definitely fulfil the first two requirements. All bar one of my sources are peer-reviewed journal articles. Some which have thousands of citations (not a perfect proxy for reliability, but it’s as good as it’s gonna get).

Hello, hope I am writing at the right place. I have made a first submission a couple of days ago, and my article was declined because of the tone wasn't right / neutral at certain places. At first I wasn't in agreement with the reviewer, but after careful re-reading I must agree that I had to make some changes. I have since then edited the article to fix those passages and resubmitted the article. I was wondering if I could get a feedback on the article as well as having it accepted ?
I feel like I have put in the work, and that I also found many reliable articles to support it, but I am open to comments.

Theroadislong (talk) 19:16, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- I don't work for Surmesur no. I am not paid either for writing this article. I am French speaking though, so maybe what you see as being laughably promotional is simply that some things you see offensive I read them as being neutral. Are there other sections that are not fitting ? Like I said, I want to put in the work.

I want this company to get some recognition, I have no relation to either founder and have never written a wikipedia article before but there is nothing online about them.

- Draft:Mark Anthony DiBello Knitsey (talk) 03:01, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- @MarkDiBelloBiographer: I don't know what a 'photo box' is, or why you wouldn't be able to remove one if you can insert one; I can only assume you're talking about something to do with the visual editor, of which I've very little experience. In the source editing mode, you can certainly remove any trace of an earlier image.
- Having said all that, your draft looks like some sort of personal tribute page or similar, not least because of the excessive use of family/personal photographs. These are quite inappropriate for an encyclopaedia, in my opinion at least.
- On a separate point, your user name clearly suggests some sort of connection with the subject. This has been queried on your talk page, but I don't see that you've responded to the query. Could you do that now, please. If you are being paid or otherwise rewarded for your edits, you must make a paid-editing-disclosure. Even if you're not, but otherwise have an external relationship with the subject, you must make a general conflict-of-interest (COI) disclosure. Please attend to this matter promptly.

- Hello, @Muhammedramees18. Writing a new article is much more difficult than it looks, and editors who try it without first spending a significant amount of time learning how Misplaced Pages works often have a frustrating and disappointing experience. It is even more difficult when the editors has a conflict of interest. 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 Misplaced Pages 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.
- A Misplaced Pages article should be a summary of what independent reliable sources have published about a subject, and very little else. Misplaced Pages has essentially no interest in what your school says or wants to say about itself, only in what wholly independent commentators have published about it. For many schools, that is little or nothing: if that is the case, then no article on the school is possible.
- Note also that if ever Misplaced Pages has an article about your school, whoever writes it, the article will not belong to you, will not be controlled by you, will not necessarily say what you want it to say, and may be edited by almost anybody in the world except you and your colleagues. Please see an article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. ColinFine (talk) 12:04, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

how to submit an article, can you give me any solution for update an article 223.190.86.242 (talk) 07:35, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages is not a guide about universities in India and your submission is not appropriate as an encyclopedic article. It has been rejected and will not be considered any further. cyberdog958 07:51, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

I have a question. Can you or i or anyone get editorship? Because making this page better can be good. JustBeenji (talk) 10:27, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- @JustBeenji: you are an editor. So am I. So is pretty much anyone else who has ever edited any page on Misplaced Pages.
- But no editor can magic notability out of thin air, and without evidence of notability, this draft cannot be published. Which is why it has been rejected. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:53, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- So do i have to create a new draft? JustBeenji (talk) 11:36, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- @JustBeenji: in a word, no. Misplaced Pages is not for things made up one day. There is absolutely nothing in this draft that would suggest the subject is even remotely notable, and therefore no matter how many drafts you create on it, none of them would be accepted. (You would, however, almost certainly get yourself blocked, eventually.) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:47, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- But Henry Stickmin is popular! Why not? -- JustBeenji JustBeenji (talk) 12:55, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- As mentioned above, because you haven't provided a single source that indicates that this is a notable game. It could be notable, as it does seem to be a popular series of point-and-click video games, but the draft itself is so sparsely written that it's nearly impossible to even identify who or what Henry Stickmin is, let alone present the case for this being a notable video game series. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 15:40, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- @JustBeenji: Popularity is fleeting, notability is forever. Without sources, you cannot demonstrate the latter. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v 18:08, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

i put 2 references and it also got rejected , what else should i do?? SarahSamuell (talk) 11:39, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- All new articles on Misplaced Pages have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Your two sources do not do this, they just show the subject exists. Posts on social media such as pinterest are also not reliable sources in most cases. Also most of your content was unsourced. Also see WP:NSCHOOL and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. KylieTastic (talk) 11:42, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @SarahSamuell. Please see my lengthy reply to Muhammedramees18 above, most of which applies to you as well. ColinFine (talk) 12:08, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- In addition to what has already been said, there are serious problems with the photographs as you've uploaded them to Commons and credited them as your own work. Naturally, I am skeptical you took these photos personally over an 84-year period. If these are not your photos, you need to make them fully compliant with Misplaced Pages's non-free content policies, which can be found at WP:NFC. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 15:29, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- And please don't resubmit a draft that has already been rejected. If you disagree with the rejection, the way to address this is to take it up with the rejecting reviewer directly. And we have already discussed this on your talk page. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:35, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
14:09, 24 December 2024 review of submission by WikiBaltimore
Hello. An article I recently submitted "Turner Development" was just declined for "appears to read like an advertisement". Here is the entire submission.....
"Turner Development is a real estate development company based in Maryland. Turner Development specializes in ground up and Adaptive reuse renovations. Notable projects include Silo Point Condominium in Locust Point, Baltimore, 1211 Light St, McHenry Pointe, Federal Hill Lofts in Federal Hill, Baltimore, Henrietta Square, Holy Cross Condominiums and McHenry Theater."
I disagree with the "appears to read like an advertisement" and would like you to please reconsider the submission. None of 3 sentences are subjective or in any way promoting Turner Development, just facts that were backed by the numerous references submitted with the article. What was submitted are just 3 factual sentences to start a wikipedia page for other Wiki community members to contribute as they see fit.
For example, Silo Point is one of projects mentioned and an outstanding wiki page has grown over the years around the history and facts on the former grain elevators story. The other projects listed in the original submission also have an incredible historical story to tell by the wiki community for their significant impact they have played in Marylands past.
Thank you for you reconsideration and insight as to what/how the 3 would need to be reworded to make sure they meet wiki guidelines and a new page is create to help spur greater conversations on the wiki community about the signitical historic locations listed in the original submission. ~ Happy Hollidays. WikiBaltimore (talk) 14:09, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- @WikiBaltimore: Misplaced Pages articles summarise what independent and reliable secondary sources have previously said about a subject and what makes it worthy of note. Your draft, on the other hand, merely states that the subject exists, and gives very much the impression that it is the subject telling the world about itself (which is the definition of promotion, see WP:YESPROMO), with a dozen sources tagged at the end for WP:REFBOMBING purposes.
- Do you happen to work for, or with, Turner Development, by any chance? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- The references are about the projects Turner Development has been involved in, not, about Turner Development, the company, mostly about Silo Point, which does already have an article. And the references are just slapped in a giant bucket at the end rather than supporting factual information with in-line citations. What are the sources for the notability of these other projects besides Silo Point? What is the source for specifically concluding that the company "specializes in ground up and Adaptive reuse renovations?" You can't simply infer that from the listed projects as that's WP:OR. At the end of the day, the article doesn't really even tell us anything about Turner Development. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 15:12, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- Well said, thank you for the feedback WikiBaltimore (talk) 16:44, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

- @Juanestebanfernandez: your draft was declined because it doesn't demonstrate that the subject is notable. There is also nothing to indicate where all that information comes from, let alone that it comes from reliable and independent secondary sources.
- Do you represent Trusted Interpreters or CSA Research in any way? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:58, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- It's not written in an encyclopedic manner, the text itself is complete unsourced with only some general tangentially related sites listed at the end, it looks like AI was heavily used in creating it, and we already have far superior information of this type at articles like Language interpretation. Yes, the article focuses on interpretation services in the US rather than generally, but there's almost no actual specific US-related content other than a couple unsourced facts.

- CerebralPathfinder I fixed your post to provide a link to your draft as intended. Did you see the message left by the reviewer? 331dot (talk) 21:34, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- ah yes just seen! thank you CerebralPathfinder (talk) 21:47, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- I see that the draft is sourced entirely to company materials. Instead, it should summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Misplaced Pages definition of a notable company.
- If you work for this company, that must be disclosed, see WP:PAID, as well as conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 21:38, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

- @NakiwugeFlorence: a musician would need to demonstrate notability via either the general WP:GNG or the special WP:MUSICBIO guideline. Carefully study those guidelines, they will tell you exactly what evidence of notability you would need to provide. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:37, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

- @NakiwugeFlorence: I have no need to check your sources; an experienced reviewer has done so, and rejected your draft. This means it will not be considered further. If you have sources demonstrating notability which weren't considered at the most recent review, you may appeal directly to the rejecting reviewer. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:46, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

It keeps getting rejected. I don’t know what they want me to do now, there isn’t much information on Quesada, and most of his articles are in Spanish. KimJongUnsBasement (talk) 13:27, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- It wasn't "rejected" until the last time, it was "declined" before that(declined means resubmission is possible) If there isn't much information about them, that is a strong indicator they do not merit a Misplaced Pages article at this time. Sources do not need to be in English. 331dot (talk) 13:44, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
I don’t know what do. I added citations, but still it gets declined. I’ve seen far worst Misplaced Pages Articles be accepted. Please just accept it and other people can add on to it, it’s not like it’s a protective page, anyone can edit and help me out. I know you’re probably gonna say no, (if you even read in the first place) because of what’s on your user page, but it was worth a try. KimJongUnsBasement (talk) 14:19, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- @KimJongUnsBasement: footballers have to demonstrate notability per WP:GNG, which requires 3+ solid sources. This draft cites none.

- KimJonUnsBasement Please edit this existing section, instead of creating additional sections for every post you make. This process is usually voluntary; if you wish to disregard what reviewers are telling you, you can move it to the encyclopedia yourself, but you run the risk of it being put up for a deletion discussion.
