You created this article (
https://w.wiki/9Bav) lifted someone’s hard work of reasearching . Its unfair to copy and rewritesomeone article in the sanbox and quickly publish first. As a newbie we help in reviewing articles by newbies as we encourage them from their sandbox. When community members participate in contest and this kind of things happens they stop newbies from staying in the community. In as much as this is free and open, the right thing needs to be done. If all volunteers do this there is no point contesting and participatning in contest or feeling like they have done something when we are in a community that also give credit to volunteers based on their edits.

Yes, that's
dynamic IP for you. Instead of getting into a really technical argument about whether your IP is an open proxy, I will just tell you that for that very reason it's much easier to advise you to use different devices, perhaps on another IP, to edit, and/or go to
WP:IPECPROXY and request IP block exemption per the instructions there, which do not require editing access to follow. —

A tag has been placed on
Draft:Kwame Yogot requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under
section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous
copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from
https://beatznation.com/profile/kwame-yogot/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be
blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at
Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see
Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at
Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question
here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by
visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with
Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -

As per Wikipedia's defining criteria of a
Record chart (referenced in the article as a music chart), it includes streaming activity, number of sales and number of downloads as chart criteria. Hence the reference is duly warranted as a noteworthy mention.
Boomplay is the biggest streaming platform in Africa and is critical to the growth of music from the African continent. Recently, through an
official announcement, data from Boomplay will count towards Billboard official chart ratings. At any point in time, there are a maximum of 100 songs on
Top 100 which would not accomodate artistes on a global scale. Infact,
Billboard chart is scaled towards the US Market primarily before everywhere else. This alone makes it difficult for indie artistes even in the United States to earn a place on the chart, talk less of elsewhere. A UCLA article has raised concerns about the bias of the Billboard chart and this in effect raises concerns on the some criteria and sections of

To the topic of user-generated content, it can be quite tricky as most online platforms have some form of user-generated content. Here is an example from
Forbes, which has a section on its platform that
features articles from vetted contributors. Does this suddenly discredit the platfom? Or will a submission be rejected because it was sources from a Forbes contributor article?
Promotion as defined by
Wikitionary, indicates the dissemination of information in order to increase its popularity. Without promotion, there are a myriad of information that will go unnoticed. Every source, whether independently written or not can be quoted for promotional purposes especially within the music space. The number one song on billboard chart, will in effect promote the song and lead to more sales, despite being independently drafted into the chart.
Please review your reasons for the rejection and propose improvements.

Hi Heatrave,
Record chart is a Wikipedia article and not relevant to the
notability guidelines for musicians or the related
WP:CHARTS guideline, which are based upon consensus by the Wikipedia community. If you believe it a chart meets the inclusion guidelines outlined at
WP:CHARTS, you can start a discussion on the talk page to get consensus to include it but note it states Charts which rank material from a single vendor or network are generally unsuitable for inclusion in articles. As for
WP:user-generated content, regardless of the publisher, those are generally considered unreliable and cannot be used to establish notability. For Forbes specifically, see
WP:FORBESCON which states article's written by contributors are considered user-generated so generally not reliable. You are correct that a source writing about a topic may inherently promote that topic regardless if the coverage is positive or negative. Even so, sources must meet the
reliable source criteria and must be
independent to count toward notability.

I agree that there are sections of the article that sounded promotional but that was not the intention. Fortunately, I received help from an editor to correct that and hence i believe that is fixed. The topic is very notable as he is one of the few perfumers in Africa.
I will like you to review your decision as this article has been adequately cited. That industry is very niche and may not have 1000s of citations but meets all the notability requirements as stated by Wikipedia

Heatrave (
talk) 07:09, 21 October 2023 (UTC)reply
The short answer is no. That's because images uploaded into Wikimedia Commons are made freely available in the public domain. So if you upload someone else's content, even with attribution, you are taking away their copyright, and they are unlikely to be very happy with that.
There are some very limited 'fair use' exceptions, eg. company logos and music album covers can be used in the articles on those topics, and of course some things are not in copyright to begin with (mainly if they've been released under a compatible Creative Commons licence, or are so old that the copyright has already expired), but these are relatively rare exceptions.
All that being said, I'm not really an expert on this, so if you have questions about copyright or what can be uploaded and how, you can ask at the
Commons help desk. --

@
Heatrave Articles about people must pass the
WP:NPEOPLE test. Most of your sources are interviews with Yusif, which can not be used to establish notability. The sources you use must be:
- Reliable: Your article should rely on strong, reliable sources that are published by reputable institutions. Primary sources can be used for basic facts (such as a date of creation), but they should be supplemented with strong secondary sources that offer analysis, review, discussion, or interpretation.
- Independent: Your sources should be independent of the subject, for example not self-published or from the subject's own website, and not interviews with people directly connected to the topic.
- Show significant coverage: Your subject should be discussed in detail in the sources you find. The sources should provide in-depth information or analysis about the subject, going beyond basic facts or promotional material.
- From multiple places: Ideally we would like to see three separate reliable, independent, secondary sources that discuss your subject.
- Not original research: Wikipedia articles should summarise existing knowledge about a subject, not present new research. This means you should avoid drawing your own conclusions or analyses from the sources. Stick to summarising what the sources say in a neutral tone.
If you cannot find sources that are appropriate, then I am afraid there can be no article about Yusif at this time.

@
MicrobiologyMarcus thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately I disagree with the part on the notability of the subject. The article doesn't focus on the subject but mostly on his work. It is very common in the creative art industry especially in films for the people behind the film to be receive less headlines and coverage than the actor. Most of the sources used have made mention of his contribution to the works. It is against the guidelines of Wikipedia to state something without claim and hence I stuck to mostly his works.
With regards to the tone and NPV, i have tried as much as possible meet the requirements. However if you can highlight where i need to improve, i will be more than happy to do that.

Please understand the following is intended to help. You'll need to read a few things. First, it would be a good idea for you to review our
General Notability Guideline. You should also read through
Wikipedia:Reliable sources and
this which will help you understand the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. In general, we try to focus on using secondary sources here.
I would suggest that you stop moving things to mainspace for the time being, and instead focus on properly developing drafts. I would also encourage you to stop re-submitting drafts that have been previously declined when you've added very little or nothing at all, such as you have done at
Draft:Yusif Meizongo Jnr.
If you have any questions about any of this, please let me know. I'll be happy to help. --

But thank you for the feedback. Please be more specific so i know what exactly to work on.

@
Heatrave There problem here is that the sources cited are majorly promotional pieces. (PS: You don't have to start arguing that, it's something I know). So, you can't show notability in that manner, we need citations to sources that are
reliable,
independent of the subject and covers the subject
significantly or at least close significance. Nothing currently like that in the sources currently cited.

A tag has been placed on
Draft:Samuel Kwame Boadu (1) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under
section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a
deletion discussion, at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Samuel Kwame Boadu. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by
visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

If there is a previous thread or article that was done for the subject and subsequently deleted, then i have no idea.

So again, you repeatedly - to the tune of literally dozens of photos - uploaded items where you literally had to click to certify they were in fact your own work and you had permission, so why should anyone believe after your promotional editing and blatant lies about copyright, that you're suddenly telling the truth about everything else?

The comment the reviewer left was:
I went back and forth quite a bit here. On the one hand, the article subject has definitely made a name for himself and appears to be noteworthy. On the other hand, currently the list of awards is the longest section of this submission, and most of the references relate to the various awards the subject has received. I'm skeptical whether subjects would be considered notable solely based on having received a large number of awards (I can't find any specific guideline on it, but it raises some red flags). My recommendation would be to expand the other sections of the submission to describe the subject's career and life in more detail, in contexts other than the awards they have received, and provide sources that describe the subject in more detail (again, beyond just validating his acheivements

Hello @

Heatrave (

@
Heatrave:Likely notable. Personally, I still had my doubts that it met notability, and then given the bare url for a reference, that tended towards a decline instead of approval. The rest of the sources on the article are okay for citing facts, but they are no more than passing mentions and don't contribute to SIGCOV. Happy to re-review if you can find coverage from a independent secondary and reliable source, that would assuage my notability concerns, feel free to ping me.

Hello @

Yes, it was deleted only for copyright reasons, so please feel free to recreate the article in your own words. I understand that it can be difficult sometimes! I sometimes find it helpful to read the source material first, then try to summarize it without directly referring to it (of course you can look at it afterwards, but this might help avoid the temptation of using the same or substantially similar phrasing).

Qcne he is a record producer and has recording credits some of the biggest names in the nigerian music industry. He has received nominations in the producer category at multiple Nigerian music awards. He has not yet won any of his nominations but i think that should not discredit his works, which have won awards for the respective artistes. I am not a Nigerian but I started this and hopefully others can come and contribute. I think you should look at it from those lines, not necessary on the convincing coverage, because most of the creative people behind the camera do not receive as much spotlight as do the main characters. You can see this particularly in movies and music.

Why Steal My Article?
Hello Heatrave, i have come across your article titled Borteyman Sports Compkex, this article was first created by me on wednesday, 14th February and you stole it to publish it today. here is a link to my article showing i was the first to write about this
User:Adansi11/sandbox . why did you do that? this is not fair enough
Adansi11 (
talk) 09:29, 16 February 2024 (UTC)reply
Hello @
Adansi11, initially I didn't want to respond but as this is an open space I have to set the record straight. Before I jump into that I will let me address a few things.
According to Wikipedia
Friendly Space Policy, personal attacks must be avoided at all cost. In the event of a misunderstanding, you must first seek to enquire or start a discourse, rather than throw accusations around. You do not know who will be at the other end of the account you are attacking.
Wikipedia takes copyright seriously. The use of words like "steal" is a very strong word which without defence, can land both you and the person you are accusing in a lot of trouble.
No Editor has the right to make claim to an article. In the footer of every Wikipedia page, you see a creative commons shareAlike license, which renders all texts submitted to the platform to be binded by that copyright. So claiming that an article is yours is not correct to begin with because nobody owns an article on Wikipedia. See
Wikipedia:Copyrights
With that said, information in your sandbox is private. Until an article is published into the article space, nothing stops another editor from starting the article. You cannot claim ownership to an article because you started writing about it first. The topic "Borteyman Sports Complex" has been in the news and has received a lot of coverage in the past few days, building up to the All African Games. I can understand your frustration, but I have not had access to your sandbox. Both of our articles are totally different and have no correlation whatsoever. It is just a mere coincidence that we happen to write about the same thing.
There will be a lot of opportunities to create your first article as a newbie but next time you have an issue, address the issue, do not attack the editor.

@
Vanderwaalforces thank you for your feedback. However i do not agree on the conclusion that the listed references are not notable.
Citinewsroom: As far as journalism standards go, this is the most reliable news outlet in Ghana. Their news is researched and written by their journalists via radio, TV and online.
GhanaWeb: This is the biggest online platform in Ghana and to some extent Africa. It has been publishing news since 1999 and it is where majority go to read their news. (Website with the highest traffic)
Graphic Online: This is the online version of one of Ghana's national newspapers, Daily Graphic which has been printing and publishing Ghanaian news six days a week since 1950.
GhPage: You can make a case for GhPage which is a private blog and i will agree. However they have been cited by the big blogs when it comes to news around entertainment, showbiz and lifestyle.
These sources are the most reliable I could find whilst researching about the subject. To say these sources are not reliable infers that most articles about the Ghanaian space are not reliable as these platforms cover 99% of the news in Ghana. If you take these sources out, there are no serious alternatives for news in Ghana.
I will entreat you to reconsider your position on this matter. Thank you.
Heatrave (
talk) 17:33, 24 March 2024 (UTC)reply
Hello Heatrave, how are you doing today? You literally got this confused,
notability isn't
reliability, I wasn't disputing the notability of these publications, I was talking about how reliable they could be. You have, as a matter of fact, overrated Citinewsroom, a publication that you think "as far as journalism standards go", "is the most reliable news outlet in Ghana" would not publish
a piece without a byline, that is against journalism standard. Pieces like
this from Graphic Online are nothing but paid promotional puff pieces, also, the relationship to the Ghanaian government is a red flag. GhanaWeb and GhPage without stress and argument are unreliable publications, even though there are very many articles that are currently based on them.
Again, this is not about whether they are publications that "cover 99% of the news in Ghana" or how long they have existed (even though it sometimes matters), this is about how Wikipedia can rely on them based on
WP:RS. We have plenty of publications that were established 5-10 years ago and they're ideal reliable publications.
Vanderwaalforces (

@
Vanderwaalforces first of all thank you for your reply and feedback. I didn't mean to come off as aggressive so if my statement sounded that way, please forgive. Maybe i didn't understand the context of "GhanaWeb, Citinewsroom and Graphic are unreliable sources" as they are one of the major sources around.
That said, I do understand where you are coming from after following the the links you provided. As an editor, i have no control over the sources we find. In an ideal world, we wish and pray for sources written to meet these criteria, but that is not always possible.
Going forward, what would you suggest as the solution for this, as sources are very hard to come by.
Heatrave (
talk) 21:54, 24 March 2024 (UTC)reply
Hi there Heatrave, I picked no offence at all. Indeed, it sucks that our most popular publications are not doing the right thing most of the times, and yes, we also do not have any control over them, so they keep doing what they do. There's nothing we can do about it. There's something we can do though, create content based on the few reliable sources we can find. I literally don't like depending on unreliable sources and will encourage other editors to do same.
Vanderwaalforces (
talk) 11:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC)reply
@
Vanderwaalforces thanks for your feedback. Can you provide a general rule of thumb to help me determine if a source is reliable
Heatrave (
talk) 11:41, 25 March 2024 (UTC)reply
This query is something that I have had in mind for months now, creating a page on my user subpage that will address questions like this. Journalism is, as a matter of fact, wide, and as such there are several rules of thumb for determining a reliable source. Also, it depends on context. I will try and brief you here based on my opinion, then maybe later, I will create that page.
For books, journals articles, etc. Books are mostly reliable, as long as they are not
published by the subject of the article or by someone connected to the subject. Journal articles are also reliable if and only if they are published by a reliable Journal. There are several unreliable journals out there, but you'll mostly find reliable ones.
For Newspapers (Print/Online), Media organisations, Blogs, Aggregators, etc, it becomes more complex and requires vast understanding, especially in regions where sources from there are mostly unreliable. Generally, when you say "source", it actually refers to several bodies. For a newspaper, for example, it refers to the newspaper (which is what it mostly likely refers to by many Wikipedians), it could refer to the journalist who published that particular piece, it could also refer to the publisher of the newspaper, that is, the organisation that publishes/owns the paper.
Let's do some scenarios with this, let's say, a reliable journalist/writer publishes a piece in an unreliable newspaper that is owned by an unreliable publisher. An unreliable journalist publishes a piece in a reliable newspaper that is owned by a reliable publisher. Switch this as many times as you can think of, all these could affect the reliability of a piece/source.
Now, for a source to be reliable, it should follow journalism standard professionally, as well as in line with Wikipedia's policy on reliable source (
WP:RS). Basically, whenever you are looking for sources, pay attention to whether the newspaper/website has editorial policies which governs how articles are published on the publication, pay attention to whether the source is a news producer or an aggregator, pay attention to whether the particular piece you're citing has a by-line (name of the authors/journalists/writers). Something common in African sources is that they refuse to label their advertorials as so, they mostly publish under no byline and some even do it under an actual journalist's name, it is important to watch out for promotional pieces, there are a lot of them nowadays, all published under no byline or under a journalist's name. Of course, we have some that do clearly state it, either via categorisation or authorship.
There are many things I would love to add but let me not clutter your talk page, lol.
@
Vanderwaalforces thank you for this thorough response. I have applied your feedback and rectified some of the issues raised. Going forward, I will refer back to this conversation regarding citations when drafting a new article. Thank you for your audience.

Your recent article submission to
Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Ca was:
I hate to decline this draft for now, but I feel like the coverage of this person is too shaky. It mostly comprises of short articles that just mentions he directed/produced x movie. Perhaps you could find articles talking about his life in general or his filming style.
He has been involved in a lot of films and won a decent amount of awards, so I think you can find more in-depth sources about Davis. I don't think Davis passes the bar of
WP:NCREATIVE yet, but I am not familiar with Ghanaian film industry.
Also, is the term entrepreneur appropriate? None of the sources say he is one, and he does not run any businesses.
All in all, good luck and feel free to ask questions.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

@
Ca thank you for your feedback. I will agree that most of the sources used may qualify as passing mentions. However, like I have observed when writing for the people behind the scenes, it is difficult to find secondary sources that goes into the depth when it comes to the person unless they win an individual award. There is a lot of coverage however of the work they have done and the achievements those works have gone on to chalk. And this was my approach to the article. I wrote the article to focus on his work and the impact of that work and left room for his personal life when I find it.
I also realised that a huge aspect of his filmography already have Wikipedia articles which i believe is a good thing and should help his case.
Davies' work in Ghana was mostly as a music video director so again in my writing, i focused on his work which was highly impactful.
The only reference i found that went in depth about his personal life was an interview found on YouTube and i don't know if that qualifies as a secondary source.

Your recent article submission to
Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Ibjaja055 was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject
qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published,
reliable,
secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the
guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see
technical help and learn about
mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
