Hi Greenman. After reviewing what I wrote, I believe it was fairly neutral as I was stating a true fact about the team. Them having four World Cup wins (more than any other nation) would classify them as the greatest rugby nation of all time. I believe you taking it down is a mistake and that what I had wrote is fair and doesn't go against the neutral act.

Please get back to me ASAP. Joshisakov (talk) 07:35, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Greenman, I am trying to better understand the comments you made when rejecting my draft (Draft:Uri Shraga Gutman). I dont know how to reference an objective source for a date of birth of my subject (a living person) other than uploading their passport or birth-certificate (which are the sources that I have seen), without breaching privacy laws and regulations. If you have some idea for how I can do this otherwise, can you please suggest? Additionally, I have referenced all that I can from online sources. I do have some "hard-copy" references (newspaper articles, for example, from the 1990s and early 2000s) - but I have not found these online, and therefore could not provide a reference to them for the article. Can you suggest a solution for this? Many thanks for your comments, and in advance for your help. Avggtmn (talk) 05:26, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Offline sources can be used, they are just not preferred, as they are difficult to verify. Please don't upload personal information, such as passport details!

Hi Greenman, In many entries about living people, there is a date of birth, which is not referenced. Please note the very similar wikipedia entries for other diplomats/ambassadors (see example: Rafael Harpaz - Wikipedia). Can you suggest an alternative?

Hi @Avggtmn: that article is atrociously sourced, and much of the content is vulnerable to being removed. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

See WP:AFCPURPOSE. This in my opinion is a fairly clearcut case of an article that would survive WP:AFD. The issues you have raised can be tagged, fixed, removed as appropriate, but are not sufficient reason to decline the submission. Greenman (talk) 12:45, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Have you actually looked at the flowchart? An article which isn't reliably sourced should be declined. I have highlighted serious issues with sources not supporting the claims they accompany. Even without those, I wonder why one would deliberately put gibberish and incorrect claims in the mainspace in the first place. "Surviving AfD" just means "the topic is notable" (and not copyvio or attack page, which would require deletion in draft as well), AfC review requires a bit more than that. The very, very least one could expect a reviewer to do is check the issues which lead to draftification in the first place, but I doubt you actually looked at the talk page when reviewing. Fram (talk) 13:42, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Let's, as an example, look at the intro to the article: "Buddhism (Spanish: Budismo) is the one of the largest religions in Spain. The presence of Buddhism in Spain began in the late 1970s, brought from other parts of Europe, especially France. Despite its short history in the country, Buddhism was recognized as a deep-rooted religious confession in 2007, under official consideration. This recognition implies its comparison with most established religions for legal, political and administrative purposes." Ignoring that we get a grammatical error after just three words: this paragrapgh (of just the last sentence, who knows?) is sourced to [1], which verifies nothing at all in this paragraph.

Not an exception with this article, sadly: the first sentence of the history section is "The Spanish came into contact with Japanese Buddhists in the 16th century when some Jesuit missionaries settled in Japan and China." This is sourced to this, but surprise, that article doesn't mention China, Japan, Jesuits or missionaries, nor the 16th century.

Need I go on? Or will you accept that you perhaps botched this one, and remove your explanation from the top of the draft? I can add my explanation there as well if you prefer. Fram (talk) 13:51, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @Greenman,

Thanks for taking the time out to review my draft on Matthew Iduoriyekemwen. You left the comment that "Numerous statements are unsourced". I believe your review is unfair as this is an article on a person who was a member of a state legislature in a third world nation at a time of low internet penetration meaning there is naturally a limited number of online sources which can be referenced on the individual at this time. I believe it would be unfair to exclude significant information on the grounds that statements are unsourced seeing as it would end up providing barely an information on the individual to the user. Also, there are numerous articles on Wikipedia with many statements unsourced. For context internet penetration in the year 2000 in Nigeria was 0.06% and in 2007 when he left office was 6.77% (Nigerian: internet penetration). This means generally information on notable people from Nigeria from that era is generally limited on the internet especially when they are part of subnational governments. I'd urge you to reconsider your review on this as it is quite difficult to gauge the notability of a sub national govt official from Nigeria active in early internet era.

However if you still disagree, could you please point me to the statements you believe absolutely require an online source to have them removed from the article. I do think this takes away the benefit of the article as should any information on the article be contested, future readers will be welcome to edit the page and counter accordingly Hayfiz (talk) 09:08, 27 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dear @Greenman, this is the very first article I've written and since Gondwana is the largest privately-owned tourism company in Namibia (where I live), I thought it would be a good place to start and I based a lot of the format on the TUI Group page. Would you give me some advice on how to improve it further? I removed all sections that I could understand that I thought seemed a bit more like a sales pitch than an encyclopedia article (based on your feedback), but when it comes to Namibia as a whole, apart from local newspapers and a few external tourism sites and blogs, it's quite difficult to reference facts.

As a Namibian, I think it's important for us to be on the map for more than just the basics, so I had a few articles in mind, but now that the first one has been rejected, I would love some pointers on how to overcome objections like quoting the source (their website) when very little other online references exist.

As mentioned, for inspiration, I looked at the TUI group and their website is referenced quite regularly, which is why I assumed the latter would be okay when it came to basic facts and then news updates and articles would be perfect for any further expansion, but what if even the basic facts like what a company does is not referred to online as more than a casual mention?

I would honestly love to learn from an actual contributor, since I read all the important documentation, but Namibia is often left untouched in even these areas. If I had to write about Sun International, it's already so much easier because the world writes about them, but in my journey to put us on the map, I find that, except for tourists who write blogs on the country, we have very little to reference.

Any suggestions? Anit006 (talk) 14:45, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

talk page lurking... @Anit006: Wikipedia is not about helping organizations to be on the map. We are an encyclopedia and have certain standards. One of the foremost of those is that each article must pass the notability criteria. As a good rule of thumb, you can use the golden rule to check if the references you are using support the article or draft's assertion of notability. Drafts that do not meet the requirements for notability will not be accepted as new articles. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:37, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@UtherSRG - I didn't say the organisation should be on the map, I said our country should be on the map and I wrote the article as part of a project for my school. The idea was to write an article that would assist in the travel and tourism industry and is Namibia-specific. I'm just trying to figure out where the balance is, because the info online is limited. Anit006 (talk) 06:03, 28 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

To assist in the travel and tourism industry ISNOT a part of Wikipedia's purpose. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:21, 28 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

i really need some guidance ss to why my sources are not acceptable and this entry is rejected as my subject's colleagues have been published with equivalent or less sourcing , i have publications including new york times variety sun sentinel and libary of cogress that either quote or talk about the subject in detail, discuss the significance or his work and links that show his role on each project as well as sources that establish the subject has been personally cited for receiving awards and recognition of many films. If its time to give up on this i understand but it its a matter of me doing it incorrectly please advise.

Walnuthillstreet (talk) 12:02, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @Walnuthillstreet:, the existence of other poorly-sourced articles is not a reason for something to be published/avoid deletion. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If you wish to continue, the best advice is to address the concerns raised with your submission. The unsourced statements should be removed or sourced. Greenman (talk) 17:03, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

absolutely understood and that is understood but i am wondering what would be considered unsourced, could you provide an example? Because i believe that there are at least three well-sourced articles (which fit the criteria for inclusion) if i remove everything else does that work? or is it a matter of not having enough well-sourced articles? I very much appreciate your guidance and thanks Walnuthillstreet (talk) 17:14, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

An unsourced statement is a statement that cannot be verified because it is not followed by a source. For example, the entire education section, or "He is a frequent collaborator with director Ramon Menendez". Please also take note of WP:COI. Greenman (talk) 13:04, 7 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, you have again declined my draft, 'Le Papa de Simon'. We are looking at a short story,seemingly one of the first Guy de Maupassant wrote. As to sourcing: Compare this article to what there is at FRWP, or DEWP. You will see that the sourcing situation is pretty similar. As we all know, sourcing is about reliable third-part references. Quick question thugh: What do you expect, given the story was published over 100 years ago? - Likely the best you'll find is a student of French literature published something in a literary magazine. If that student is doing a PhD, it will likely only cover a very small aspect. You cannot really compare a story that appeared in a newspaper/journal, and that's perhaps 30-50 lines long to a novella or book... Eptalon (talk) 08:03, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @Eptalon: each language project has its own guidelines and the English guidelines may be stricter. If something was published 100 years ago, and it is notable, there should far more than just the one reference available. Greenman (talk) 09:14, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That may be the case. I translated/wrote this based on FrWP and DeWp. I wont spend time in a library, trying to find sources. If FrWp doesn't have more soures they likely don't exist. Perhaps you'll find people interested in French language or literature, who'll extend it. I can leave a message on the FrWp page, but will otherwise be done with the subject.

Hi Greenman, I am not new to Wikipedia, I have plenty of experience in German Wikipedia. The article Ponzichter exists exactly in this version in the German Wikipedia. It has the same supporting documents there. It is known that the German Wikipedia is even stricter than the English one. Therefore, I do not understand your objection. Greeting, Loimo (talk) 08:44, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @Loimo:, Draft:Ponzichter was also tagged in February and again in March with concerns, and the links to the English Wikipedia guidelines should be clear to follow from there. Adding some inline citations would be a big help in both getting the submission reviewed more easily, and in getting it approved. Note that one of the two external links is a 404, which doesn't help with notability. Greenman (talk) 07:45, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @Greenman:, I overlooked before that the link no longer works. I have fixed that now. I also put the footnote. The main information is in the book cited and on the info board I recently attached to the article as an illustration. Please have a look at it now. Greetings--Loimo (talk) 09:55, 15 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Good evening. I saw a warning about not writing to you about declined pages, but here is a strange case. Someone deleted from some sources the necessary information about Vladimir Dragosh and his students for the month that the draft was waiting for approval.

Link to an article from the book by the authoritative Moldovan musicologist Elena Uzun about Vladimir Dragosh, which I have given, with a translation of this article into English: https://ext-6309854.livejournal.com/318.html .

Greenman, I am responding to the notes that you provided on the 1895 Films. As a first-time submitter, I truly do appreciate your feedback and am approaching this with a learning mindset. I understand that the mission of Wikipedia is unbiased education, and I want to provide articles that meet that mission. Do you have specific examples you can share with me that illustrate how I have moved too much into a promotional voice? I completely understand that using links to the subject's owned and operated platforms is not good, and I can find other examples for those links. I was using the New Line Cinema and Stephen Spielberg pages as guidelines since this is about film production. I really appreciate your insights. Thank you.

Hello there, I read what you wrote here but still I need to write you since decline is an action that creates a whole new process for resubmitting at times... you wrote as a reason for decline "for example the source provided for most of the info in the biographical section makes no mention of most of what is stated." and this is not correct. The first source states the tree house and the second that he completed his degree with honors. I placed many reliable sources and also placed info regarding them on the talk page. I am well aware the draft was decline before you but all edits asked were done and this is an award wining director and the fact he is from I srael, doesnt mean he isnt worthy for a wikipedia page in English as well.

@Alpenflage: thanks, I stand corrected. I probably missed it because it's spelt differently there, "Wolfi Landstreicher", as opposed to the spelling used in the title, Draft:Wolfi Landstricher, or the spelling used in the lead, "Wolfi Landsticher".

You rejected this list for lack of Notability, but other D3 Sports, D1 Wrestling, and D2 Wrestling all have their own lists, so I find it inconsistent to argue that D3 Wrestling is too niche to not have it's own Page. The personal bias of the Wikipedia reviewer should not be taken into account, only what is considered notable enough to have it's own list so far, and given that D3 Wrestling sits at the Crossroads of D3 Sports and College Wrestling, both things which are considered notable enough to have their own lists, it should also have it's own list.

Hello Greenman:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1100 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Draft:Kamer Kaan Avdan

Hi, since you declined my draft i need to tell you something. I added as source YouTube, and a moderator told me that the reason why they put it is because they have probably slipped through the net and that it is rarely an acceptable style of reference. But he also said that a large majority of YouTube videos are not reliable sources and that videos posted on the official YouTube channels of reliable media outlets are accepted as reliable sources. 82.54.155.2 (talk) 08:40, 1 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello my friend Greenman, you have declined to publish my page of me, DR. Pisit Pitukcheewanont. Your reason was that there were too few citations but I see many published pages that have much fewer citations than mine. Can you please be more specific? I provided news and TV articles, over 70 published scientific papers.. Looking at other articles here with professor endocrinologist, medical research, they would not meet your requirements?

Please read the guidelines. Entire sections are unsourced. You have not declared your WP:COI. See also WP:WHATABOUT. Greenman (talk) 06:28, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

How do I address the previous concerns about the draft of Georgios Dritsakos as a retired Lieutenant General of the Hellenic Air Force before I resubmit to create a new article? How? It's hard to tell. 108.21.67.83 (talk) 14:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What is unclear about the comments left by the previous reviewer? They even gave the specific portion that was unsourced and needs sourcing. Greenman (talk) 08:28, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Mr Greenman,

I have made the necessary changes you notified me earlier today in regards to Mr Ombija's Wikipedia page. I kindly ask you to review it and if you can return feedback on whether it is ready for publishing yet or not. Thank you

Regards,

hello greenman, you rejected my article because it

1. "lacks secondary sources"

when it almost looks exactly (basically the same) looks like the other articles part of the "Billboard Hits of the World" Chart collection, you denying my article which actually has more information than say South Korea Songs or Hong Kong Songs actually most of them yet they have articles yet they were accepted, I don't understand why South Africa Songs was rejected

2. "not relevant" or something like that,

how is that even relevant because the whole point is to add information that was not shared on Wikipedia before, who really cares about the Hits Of The World charts? people from their respective countries, i don't know why you rejected it, the reasons you gave also disqualified the already uploaded articles SaintAntoineLaurent (talk) 19:03, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi @SaintAntoineLaurent: see Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The existence of other poorly-sourced articles does not mean more should be approved. Also note that the submission has been declined, not rejected. Declined means that it can be improved and resubmitted. Rejected means that the topic cannot be resubmitted. Greenman (talk) 19:16, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I have just viewed all record charts, literally excluding the US Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart all the articles don't have what you require of mine, I believe you are being too hard and asking for too much SaintAntoineLaurent (talk) 10:36, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, I hope you are well. I created this draft and added sources to it and modified them in a way that suits Wikipedia, but they are rejected. I added reliable and unpaid Arabic sources. I also tried to format the writing, but I do not know the reason for the shelf.Knowing that there are many articles in which there are no strong and inconsistent sources that have been approved, I hope to reconsider the article because I have reformulated the sources. Thank you for your efforts. Chamosuhdod (talk) 22:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2023–24 National First Division, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kimberley.
