Draft Krov Menuhin
Hi and thank you for the below mentioned comments. The article has been turned down again for lack of notablilty. I would really appreciate your help - as you suggested you may be able to give - in redrafting the article in an acceptable format. If you can give me a few brief ideas on where to start, I shall do so. KarenMenuhin (talk) 16:12, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your assessment, DESiegel. Along those lines, mine would also include that although he might scrape past notability due to the sheer amount of work he's done and the coverage available, the references provided are mostly to his own work. If indeed the article were to be accepted, it would require extensive trimming of irrelevant, unreferenced or CV-like information (I could help you with that later). I'd love to see what other reviewers have to say about it. We have a slight backlog at the moment, but I'm sure you'll receive a proper assessment quite soon. Cheers, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 19:16, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- Dear KarenMenuhin, even though I did not review the article myself I could offer you some pointers as to what to do. My main concern is twofold, given the article contains a lot of unnecessary information, which in turn is referenced by primary or unreliable sources. My first tip would be for you to focus on the things that make him notable, such as his work with the BBC, or his oceanic work; strip it to the indispensable minimum. There's also no need to list works or awards. Try sourcing information from reliable and independent sources that discuss him exclusively or in a substantial proportion of the text. If you can't find such sourcing, it'd be best if you didn't include that particular piece of biographical information. His works, partnerships or any associations should not be used as citations. Good sources would be similar to the People article, for example. I'm afraid my sort of copy edits would be quite drastic and disheartening for you, so I look forward to seeing how you manage to improve the article yourself. Feel free to post any questions at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk, and resubmit the article for reviewal when pertinent (make sure you edit the article at least once every couple of months so that it's not deleted). Regards, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 19:25, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- Dear FoCuS, thank you so much, you have given me a direction to take and I will now concentrate accordingly. I am not at all averse to drastically reducing the article as you advise. It will no doubt give me a better understanding of the editorial requirements, which I hope will allow me to make more contributions to wikipedia in the future. There is a new article in an Asian Geographic magazine (SCUBA DIVER issue 8/2014/2015, OP no.2, editor Alice Grainger, Asian Geographic Magazines Pte Ltd 20 Bedok South Road, Singapore 469277) in which Krov Menuhin was interviewed at length - this article is printed, but not available on-line. Other such articles in books and magazines exist. I can send you or anyone the article, but how does it help support notability if it can't be viewed online?KarenMenuhin (talk) 19:48, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- Of course, sources need not be available online, as long as they're properly attributed. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 22:05, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Regarding Draft:Chet Bowers, thank you for your helpful suggestions. I will attempt to rework the Ideas section so that each subsection starts with an outside reference, rather than a conclusion from his own work and I will eliminate some of the listing of his published books, as you suggested.

DYK for Saint Bartholomew, Brugherio
On 20 September 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Saint Bartholomew, Brugherio, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that relics said to be of the Three Magi are enshrined at Saint Bartholomew's Church (reliquary pictured) in Brugherio? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Saint Bartholomew, Brugherio. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

John Albert Mathews - Question
Thank-you for reviewing my draft page. You stated, "need references for biographical information which is unreferenced at present". By this, do I understand correctly that where I was in the Navy or played Rugby, you would need a reference that I was on those teams or in the Reserves? There is no on-line or newspaper references to me specifically in that regard. There are a lot of photos, awards, commendations, etc, but nothing I can find in the public domain. What should I do??
For my rowing stuff I have referenced my participation on teams. For Duisburg and Lucerne International regattas, they don't publish their winners from that period, but I did reference NY Times articles where I am listed as winning. Is that acceptable?
John Mathews jmathews@admin.umass.edu — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.119.185.12 (talk) 13:54, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- Firstly, if you're the subject of the article, it is strongly frowned upon on Wikipedia to write about yourself. Having said that, AfC is one of the recommended paths to take when that happens. As for your questions; yes, these things should be referenced or otherwise deleted. They are not relevant in any case; the NYT reference is fine for the other stuff.

Draft:The Spent Idols
Hello FoCuSandLeArN,
My article, The Spent Idols, has been recently declined because of copyright infringement, but I am the author of the material I have copied. It is from my blog rawkunroll blogspot. Please tell me what should I do in order to it to be accepted, maybe rewrite the text? Thanks, Angel --Angel Spent (talk) 20:35, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- Although you might be the author of said content, Wikipedia can't replicate external content, per WP:COPYVIO. You would need to write the text in a neutral fashion, supported by extensive referencing. I do advise you however, that the notability of the band is seriously in doubt.

Article on Gerald Schwarz
Hello,
Wondering if you know how I can have the following message removed from the article on Gerald Schwarz: "This biographical article needs additional citations for verification." Alternatively, if you can tell me how to identify where additional references are needed, I'll be happy to supply them. Please note that this message was left after you approved the article. I believe you approved the article without qualification. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Margery
- I accepted the article after a clean-up. I added the tag at the top given all references seem to be associated with the subject. Independent and reliable sources should be added in order for that tag to be taken down. I also strongly recommend you do not edit the article yourself if you're associated with the subject in any way. Please leave a request in the article's talk page or at Wikipedia:Requested edits.

Hi FoCuSandLeArN Tank you for accepting my article. I actually wasn't aware of the fact that I can create articles on my own in the English wikipedia.
My question is: why is the article C-class and how can I improve it ? Certainly it is desirable to have more English language articles as reference about the subject, but nearly all of the relevant are in German. At least I have cited quite a lot of sources and used references, which is not the case in the C-Class example. I do confess that I am not a native English speaker, so it is certainly necessary and would be helpful to me, if someone could improve my sentences. With regard to reliability of references I think that all sources are from scientific journals or books of a scientific context. So they should be considered as reliable. With regard to the question of notability of the subject: I have counted 300 hits at the Harvard library, which seems to be quite a lot to me. The German article about Stroux has a long list of references. Therefore I think that notability at least in the German article-space is not in question. Main reason for the few English articles is that Stroux' activity was concentrated to Germany. And he wrote his articles in German, which at this time was one of the main scientific languages.
Links and notations in other English articles will probably follow. If other people make contributions to this article I will be grateful. Best regards Ixicon (talk) 21:43, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
- Don't worry too much about the classification with which the article left Articles for Creation. That's just intended to be a reference point for comparison. For tips on how to improve the article, Wikipedia:Good articles might prove helpful to you. The notability of the subject was never in question, if that's what you're concerned about. The German article seems like a good enough article to emulate in the English Wikipedia. References don't need to be in English.

I need help, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong to keep getting this page declined. I took my time found Notable links from notable sites & articles & yet they still decline Artist Producer @RaphaelRJ2. Am I adding the links wrong? These are links from sites I see used on Wiki all the time from similar Artist & producers and yet they were approved and have less information. Raphael RJ2 is verified on facebook www.facebook.com/raphaelrj2 & they even have ads promoting his music on Itunes. All the celebrities that he has worked with not only follow him on all social sites , but they have conversations & give shout out for his works with them. What do I need to do to clean up his page, I eliminated all paragraphs that didn't have a valid links.
P.S I also want to create a page on his group member in his company "Beats how U want Em" named Rodney "Rodane" Young. He is a grammy award winning producer. 70.173.137.104 (talk) 05:33, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
- There is no evidence the subject is notable. See WP:GNG. Best, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 11:25, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
- If the producer himself won the Grammy, then he likely passes our guideline on the notability of music-related topics. You need to submit a different article. Regards, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 13:28, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your reply back, I'm all confused lol & I'm trying to figure what do you mean by "No Evidence". Did I add the reference links right? are the links going to the right place, because the sites I used are notable sites & mention Raphael RJ2 or RJ2's name in the reference giving him credit.
Example Rapper Styles P from the Lox is in the Wikipedia & Wikipedia also added his album in the Wiki because it was notable right? You say there is no Evidence that Raphael RJ2 is notable, yet his name is included on that Notable Wiki. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World%27s_Most_Hardest_MC_Project & also here is a link to a notble site I want to add that mentions Raphael RJ2 Clearly , but I don't know how to add it! http://istandardproducers.com/istandard-blog/track-by-track-review-styles-p-the-worlds-most-hardest-mc-project/
Here is another Notable site called xxlmag that mentions Raphael RJ2's name & gives him credit for Production he did on another Notable Artist that's also included in the wiki named Currensy, but then again they just said "RJ2" Which means Raphael RJ2 for short & you may have missed it when confirming the link. http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2013/08/curreny-jet-life-releases-red-eye-compilation-via-bit-torrent-today/
Infact, here is a new Wiki of a new Rapper named Rapsody with only a few References & one of them including xxlmag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapsody#cite_ref-2, yet she go included, but I understand why, because she is Verified, but so is Raphael RJ2 https://www.facebook.com/RaphaelRJ2. Who do I go to for help, Am I adding too many references? It's so hard for a Music producer because artist hardly mention names or give them credit, but In the references I used mentioned him & give him credit. 70.173.137.104 (talk) 10:01, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
This submission appears to be taken from http://www.barganews.com/2014/09/28/sell-eddie-martin-concert/. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly exists under a compatible licence and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable.

This is not copyrighted text on the link you provide - it was supplied to the site by the subject of my article - same as he supplied ti to me to post on Wiki. Seems impossible to get something published. Can you confirm if we can use this text or should I simply give up?

16:48:21, 26 October 2015 review of submission by Lstephen22
- Lstephen22 (talk · contribs)
Hello - I read your feedback and am happy to edit the article to cut down on any statements that aren't backed up directly by an independent source. However before I edit the article again I wanted to check in with you to see if there are any specific sources that I used which you don't consider appropriate? Do you think this article would be acceptable if I cut down some of the "Software" section? It seems to me like most of the other sections are backed up by 3rd party sources, but please let me know if those sources are unacceptable or if there are any other parts within the article which you think are holding it back from being accepted. Thanks in advance for your help! - Lesley Lstephen22 (talk) 16:48, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hello there. I declined the article due to the fact the company is non-notable. It doesn't count with extensive coverage in independent and reliable sources - as a rule of thumb these are sources such as books, magazines, newspapers, journals, etc. that cover the company exclusively, and about its significance, not just where its HQ are located. I don't think the company has any chance (at least at the moment) of passing general notability or WP:CORP; it might in the future, in which case you're encouraged to resubmit. As for considering your sources: 1) reliable yet routine; 2) reliable yet doesn't discuss the company's notability - can be used to corroborate facts; 3) not usable - PR piece; 4) not reliable; 5) not about the company; 6) can't access it, seems notable yet not extensive nor attesting to the company's notability; 7) not reliable; 8) can't access it; 9) might be used to corroborate some facts.
