I am new to Wiki so apologize if I did something wrong. You rejected my draft: Wyatt Borso. You stated a lack of significant coverage. I cited 14 different references (web articles) in the draft. All are secondary, independent sources. Please advise. StefSoccerDude Stefsoccerdude ( talk) 19:46, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, please see which endorsements are you removing - Louisiana Dems' endorsement is not primary source.
Tyler Bridges is reliable source. If you think that all Tweets are noreliable, you should remove them from 800+ elections articles. I know that you may be against Troy Carter, but please, see which endorsements are you removing. Sorry for my English, I'm from Poland and I'm still learning.

This is to let you know that the Earth article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 22, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 22, 2021, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:58, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the last updated to the article Mount Francisco. I will now translate it in french and Portuguese and later start step by step to improve the informations in US ES FR PT. But step by step. Anyway its a small place... where I live. Important element to consider, some stones in the zone of Mount Francisco are from de Devonian era and I really believe that this is a cute coincidence !

RE John J. Francis (musician)
I was unable to log in with the profile I set up to make this contribution.
I have set up a new profile to make the required edits.
Considering there is no entry or recognition of the Australian musician I'm happy to make the required edits.
The actions required to publish are quite broad. And will be time extensive and I require assistance.
Considering g the amount of hours gone into research and drawing up the article. I t would be a shame just to delete it.
There are limited number of articles published online hence I've had to mainly rely on an radio interview which the musician and that has been referenced for verification .
In regards to "peacock terms" can you make a specific reference.
And, How do I go about not having the work deleted?
cheers if you can assist.

Hello Devonian Wombat. I need help with your analysis of the draft you judged. I have read the guidelines, but I don't see the problem you are pointing to. None of all references have value? Would you fix it if I try to get more references, or should I change them entirely? What types of pages give you relevance value for this item category?

Hi, you recentlt accepted Draft:Vila Mutum. This is one of a series of very poor articles by a blocked sockpuppet, which you probably didn't notice. However, the article should never have been accepted on its own merits. The very first line already claims it is a "ghost village", which is "sourced" in the article to Mindat.org, a completely unreliable source (just like some other in the article).
The section "On January 7, 2014, 3 men from Vila Mutum were arrested for murder and illegal possession of a firearm in Apiacás after murdering Manoel Messias da Silva Almeida in the public roads of Vila Mutum by lynching, then being kicked, having stones thrown and being cut in the neck. The operation was named 'Vila Mutum' because this is where most preparation and crimes took place. They also killed a man named Antônio Alves Paixão with a shotgun after confirmation from Alta Floresta autopsy." not only is way too detailed for an article on the village, but it is more importantly very wrong, which is bad when one deals with serious crimes (any conviction yet?). Manoel Almeida was, according to the source, killed by the three men, but "they also killed" is false: Almeida is claimed to have killed Paixão, and was murdered in return out of revenge.
Other sentences are nonsense: "Vila Mutum's infrastructure is entirely made out of wood glued together to make houses." Right...
"Manoel Messias da Silva Almeida was generally seen as evil to the wide majority of the villagers before his death in 2014, the day he arrived in 1987 is named 'the Day of Fury' by locals." Um, what? A "Manoel" arrived in 1987, there is no evidence that he is the same as the murdered Manoel: to the contrary, the article about the murder states that he wasn't known in Vila Mutum, unlike his victim, Paixão, and that this is one of the reasons why other inhabitants of Mutum lynched this Manoel. "Fury Day" is not the day this or any Manoel arrived, but the day in 2001 when 5 people were murdered.
"Vila Mutum has a church, male health clinic" is sourced to this. An extremely dubious site, with hundreds of such clinics per province it seems. Not just male health, Vila Mutum also has an alcool detox clinic [2], an "involuntary treatment clinic" [3], and so on. Either a scam or some very optimistic descriptions there.
And so on...
Basically, nothing in the articles by this editor can be trusted, and articles with this many problems (starting at the very beginning) shouldn't be accepted. Fram ( talk) 12:47, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello Devonian Wombat,
Some time ago i wrote an article about a former Dutch traintype called NS Mat '54. My submission was declined because it had no reliable sources. I've searched the internet for more sources but after adding these as references it was declines again. You said "Be more specific". Can you help me with that? I have based this article on a translation of the same subject in the Dutch Wikipedia. I have searched for information on the internet to substantiate the information and found four sources.
Combined with the information on Wikipedia in the Dutch section i believe that this article is very well based on different independent sources who all give the same information. Unfortunately all the sources are in Dutch but can be translated with Google Translate. Actually i have no idea what i can do to make it more reliable.
I hope you can help me
Regards -- Weetjesman ( talk) 19:17, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello Devonian Wombat,
I didn't find newspaper articles that are public accessible about the Mat '54. Instead i found a book that gives very detailed information about this train. Would you like to check if this article is now sufficiently sourced?

Hello there I see you reviewed my article but rejected it on the grounds of copyright I had also written a similar article on politics.ie and inserted the following permit for the content to be used on wiki on the last post I made there "The text of this article is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts)." I believe this addressed the copyright issue so can you please publish my article now as its been a long time waiting thanks Stephen Blackpool ( talk) 17:16, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
You declined my article because "This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject."
I confess that this confuses me because:
I put a lot of work into putting that article together, which I am sure you can plainly see. :) So much so that I was able to find 92 LEGITIMATE CITATIONS.
I have compared this article with others that are already published and, to be honest, (and I may be biased here) this article is more formal and encyclopedic in tone than others. It is also well-referenced and has more complete content. I would appreciate it if you can be more specific in telling me what you are looking for because (maybe I am just too close to the subject as this article is "my baby", so to speak) but I am unable to see any of the issues you indicated as the reasons for rejecting my article.
I look forward to your response and clarification. Respectfully, Slvrdlphn ( talk) 00:45, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

By the way, I really admire your AfC reviewing skills which I have witnessed earlier. Always keep up the good work. - Hatchens ( talk) 03:53, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi Wombat! Need your help. Your rejection says the sources are not varied and it reads like marketing. Re the sources, they include the New York Times, Wired, Bloomberg, The Washington Post. I don't know how to make it more varied than that. What do you suggest?
As for sounding like marketing, I have made the text 100% fact-based and boring (non-marketing) as I can. Can you give an example of what part of it still sounds marketing?
I have disclosed that I am paid to crate this article but I am honestly just trying to load the bare bones of a software that has existed for nearly 10 years. Not trying to sell it.
Appreciate your advice!

I can't remove the features and platforms and languages section because this is the page about the software/app and those are that is the most important info about the software (I tried to follow the Slack software page model), but I did change the order and put history first.

This is an honest question, I'm not trying to be snarky here.
I understand that politicians automatically qualify for notability but I don't understand how a four-sentence article is useful to Wiki readers. All I can learn from the article George_A._Myers is a few bits of trivia about his life such as when he was born, some of his immediate family, some places he lived and that he was somehow part of the civil rights movement. To learn anything else I have to follow the off-wiki sources—and there isn't much more to learn even there.
Is the much shorter article acceptable simply to document politicians (I saw a wiki note that there is a project to expand coverage of politics)? Michael.C.Wright ( talk) 21:35, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello,
I have submitted an article to be published a couple of times and both times the article hasn't been accepted. I provided tons of sources on the work done by the company I am writing the article on, but the feedback keeps saying that there isn't enough substantial information on the subject of my article. I really don't understand this. Can you guys enlighten me on the standards I'm not meeting specifically and what they mean? The reasoning seems a little vague so far.

I read your comments and added four more references to the rejected page of Sound-Material Cycle Society. This is my first experience to create a new page in Wikipedia and I have to say that I am familiar with the Wikipedia's rules. I think that four references are sufficient but if not please instruct what is missing specifically.
"Sound-Material Cycle Society" is very popular word in waste management and recycling field in Japan. And often referred to by non-Japanese for national comparisons, etc.

Hi Devonian,
Thank you for checking through the draft of the ACSF article which I have been working on. I wrote this article from my personal point of view form a neutral view.

Hello Devonian,
Thank you for not deleting the article - I was astonished that anyone would propose doing that. I agree that the episode summaries are very long but as I noted in the talk page "The episode summaries are obviously more than summaries. I want every person, place and preferably event mentioned in the programs to be identified and linked back to an article about them. As such, I hope this article will be a companion to the television programs to allow further research instead of a mere overview." To give just one example, the program spends perhaps one minute on Tanya Savicheva - a Soviet version of Anne Frank - and I want anyone that sees the show to be able to find her story as it deserves to be better known.
I've spent a lot of time already reviewing the first 5 episodes and finding everything that should be linked. This program deserves way more recognition that it has had so I really believe that it deserves its own page on Wikipedia. Peter4Truth ( talk) 19:51, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Devonian Wombat. You recently declined article status on Draft: Paul Manheim, saying it was not written in “…the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article.” I’d like to rewrite it and, understanding that the comments are from a template, am not quite sure how to proceed. I think Mr. Manheim is noteworthy; you did not seem to have a problem with that. Question: should I simply re-write and re-submit? I’ve pored over the “Wikipedia: Writing better articles” supplement, but wonder if you might provide a few specifics for me. I’d hate to redo the article only to have it rejected via template again. I’m pretty new to this and can use all the help I can find. Thanks. Letita Bodicia ( talk) 13:31, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

On April 30, 2021, you declined the article: /info/en/?search=Draft:AOZ_Studio.
1. You stated that it doesn't show significant coverage about the subject to be deemed worthy of publication. AOZ Studio is a new, modern version of AMOS Professional, which definitely has significant coverage, primarily in the late 1980s and early 1990s (and even today in the retro community). Would historical coverage of the predecessor of AOZ Studio (AMOS / AMOS Professional) be acceptable citations?
2. I also received several comments stating that the article is too promotional and/or too much like advertising. Admittedly, I do have a declared COI, since I work part time for AOZ Studio, however, I've tried to be neutral and matter-of-fact in the article as suggested in the Wiki documentation. I asked the poster what can I do to make it less promotional, but I got no clear response. So... I'll ask you: How can I make my article more neutral, less promotional, etc.?
3. Finally, a note was added to the article suggesting that I was paid for creating it. I was not. How can I get this note removed?
Ising4jesus ( talk) 15:28, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for the suggestions. They're very helpful. I have found other sources which are articles for popular magazines on AOZ, but they are based on interviews with one of the founders of AOZ Studio. So yes, they're reliable secondary sources, but the articles are based on interviews. For example: This link contains an article from PC Pro magazine (a popular PC magazine in Europe): https://medium.com/geekculture/brought-up-on-basic-try-coding-with-aoz-studio-c007c063dd6f Is this acceptable?
Ising4jesus ( talk) 11:23, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
O.K. I've added a reference for BASIC being easy to use, and I re-worded "significant applications" as "sizable applications", which is more what I meant anyway. Hopefully, these changes will make the article more acceptable.
I do have an additional question though, if you have time:
What if an article contains interview material, but also contains information from the article's author - which I intend to reference. Would that be acceptable? For example: The previously mentioned article from PC Pro was largely from an interview with Laurant Wiell, also contained the following, in the words of the article's author:
"So how does it fare? Well, once it’s up and running, it’s simple to grasp. AOZ Studio uses a retooled version of the desktop text editor Atom for its integrated development environment (IDE) and any code can be instantly run in a browser window or as an app in its own window, allowing for testing on the fly and giving you immediate results.
Anyone who ever created software in AMOS will also be able to import their files into AOZ and have the sprites, sounds and images extracted and exported as PNG and WAV files."
I was going to reference the above regarding AOZ being easy to understand, producing fast results, and being able to import AMOS programs and media. Since the quote is from the article's author, is this then considered to be a secondary source, even though the bulk of the article is from an interview? Ising4jesus ( talk) 09:03, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
Regarding my article" Kostka Bojana"
Dear Devonian, after reviewing my article, you left a comment about how the article appears more to be an advertisement than an actual article. As I am writing about a person I don't personally know and about her accomplishments, all the info I have on her I found from independent reliable sources, such as news articles and I double-checked if there is any PR sign on them. Considering I noticed there is not enough coverage about the nail industry and the person I am writing about is the most famous Nail artist in the world, that's why I wanted to write about this subject and this person. The same article is accepted on other language Wikipedia and it's under the license "Creative Commons". At this point, I am not really sure anymore how to proceed further and I will kindly ask you for your help. Dusan Rajic ( talk) 11:39, 23 June 2021 (UTC)Dusan Rajic
I can provide reliable secondary sources in the form of newspaper articles about the Council, and cite the original San Mateo County version of the resolution creating the Council, instead of a link to the one on the Council website.
