06:15:38, 21 February 2020 review of draft by 69.209.30.181[edit]


I have never ever made a Wikipedia page before. I don't know how, but I know that there needs to be a page for Jarrett Walker. I am an aspiring transit planner and he has completely revolutionized transit planning in America. I am also requesting help because I do not know how to respond to the editor overseeing the page, who said he was known for only one event when this is clearly not true. I am not even sure what the one event is! Is it the twitter exchange with elon musk? The writings and musings which became real transit principles? Is it the bus redesigns? I need help.

All of the sources on the page that show secondary coverage of the coverage is just about the Elon Musk twitter thing. If all of the in-depth secondary coverage of a person revolves around one incident then that is considered WP:ONEEVENT. I would recommend finding secondary coverage of the subject separate from the Musk incident. Sulfurboy (talk) 06:32, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

06:43:34, 21 February 2020 review of draft by 17todotest[edit]



I dont understand why Sulfurboy (talk · contribs) has deleted my article, posting the section from notability for 'quality references' and 'more than passing mention". The references I used are two independent Bhutanese newspapers, and two books published by academic publishers (Routledge and UQP). The two nespaper articles are profiles of the subject, so not a passing mention. Hoping this can be reconsidered. And/or the quality issues explained? draft is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Passu_Tshering Please? 17todotest (talk) 06:43, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 17todotest. I disagree with reviewer Sulfurboy on this one. Notability is not the problem, but there are some smaller problems. I've left a detailed comment on Draft:Passu Tshering. --Worldbruce (talk) 12:55, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Worldbruce, From what I saw, none of the articles cited showed WP:SIGCOV of the subject, they focused instead on inventions or products that the person was involved with, but not the actual subject. There's also some very unreliable sources (facebook for example) that make this article nowhere near ready for mainspace. Sulfurboy (talk) 14:21, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sulfurboy has over-ridden your opinion Worldbruce. He/she doesnt think the two profiles on Passang and his organisation, in two independent newspapers, are enough about him to qualify as significant coverage. I give up. 17todotest (talk) 00:21, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

08:17:19, 21 February 2020 review of submission by Laura at Vonovia[edit]

I've tried to learn why the draft has been rejected, but unfortunately, I don't fully understand that.

There is a lot of independent coverage about Rolf Buch, describing his person and work (and not the company). Examples are "Der neue Herr im Haus" (3), "Der Vordrängler" (5), and "Er kann es doch" (27), all larger portraits published in Handelsblatt (leading business newspaper), Welt (leading daily newspaper), and Zeit (leading weekly newspaper). As CEO of Vonovia (DAX member), Rolf Buch leads a German blue-chip.

Dou you see any chance to get this draft accepted in the future? I'd be happy to improve it in my user space, if that helps, removing some more company details, for example. I am fully aware of my COI, of course.

15:20:29, 21 February 2020 review of submission by M.A.Sarmiento[edit]

I received a notice that my article submission was declined because some of the material didn't meet the minimum standard for inline citations. It would be really helpful to know which materials this may be referring to so that I can be sure to find the proper references. Am I not citing information correctly? Thanks.

M.A.Sarmiento (talk) 15:20, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@M.A.Sarmiento: As the linked article explains, you must attribute your facts to exact sources. Since this is a biography, you have to cite pretty much everything so the fact origins are clear, not just some selected facts. For example "Early Life & Career" section has no citations at all. But it has a dozen or so facts. Take, for example, this sentence: "Born in Houston, Texas, Riley studied Fashion and Fine Art at Columbia College (Missouri), graduating in 1973." That's already a bunch of facts: birth place, college, college course, graduating, graduation year. Without exact inline citations, there is no way to know which source(s) you used for this material and whether they were used proportionally, accurately, without bias, without synthesis and without omitting anything important. As a reader, I cannot easily verify this material. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 15:38, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

19:45:13, 21 February 2020 review of submission by Yesness89[edit]


I don't understand why my article got rejected. Is there specific language that seems like advertising language? If so, I'm happy to remove that language. I also add a lot of sources in the draft. Was my draft rejected because of these resources? What do I need to do to improve the draft so that it gets approved?

Yesness89 (talk) 19:45, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Yesness89 it was declines on the 2 February, you then made a lot of changes wit the summary of "I removed all promotional language and updated the content so that it is more encyclopedic." but you didn't actually re-submit. I've re-submitted for you. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:01, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yesness89 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

21:05:25, 21 February 2020 review of submission by Yachty4000[edit]


I really do not know why this article is being rejected except for the first time. Many other RC brands have there own Wikipedia pages yet when I try and create a more current brand one that I hope other will add to and I want to link to it keep getting rejected. What content does it need to be accepted as when I add content it is accused of turning into an advert. Here are some other pages already accepted (( Category:Radio-controlled_car_manufacturers )) Any advise would be appreciated. Yachty4000 (talk) 21:05, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
