Hi, I see that after months waiting for review you rejected this article. I created this entry following a red link on the artist's label's page Xenophile Records, following info found on other wikis and artist's web site. perhaps I should keep it simpler?

About your comments:

I don't understand what that 'Press & reviews' section is meant to be – either cite them as references, or move them to a 'Further reading' section.

Got it, most of those links are actually references, I will create a Further Reading section for the rest. Thanks for that. Fixed now.

Also, the 'External links' are too many, per

; usually just the official website is listed.

Got it. I'm fixing now.

There is quite a lot of unreferenced content (incl. but not only

.

DOB comes from the WikiData entry on this artists https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117317361 and his own official website.

Perhaps the references to the official web site should be removed? But al the other references are reliable, independent sources, albeit in French and Spanish. Do you suggest that any major media coverage on languages other that English are not releable? Please clarify that.

I appreciate your help on this, kind regards

There is a new requested move discussion in progress for the Charles III article. Since you participated in the previous discussion, I thought you might like to know about this one. Cheers. Rreagan007 (talk) 06:47, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm writing this to ask about my draft for Vita Carnis. You said that my draft was "not adequately supported by reliable sources". My main question is what would be a reliable source in this case? Because I can't think of any more reliable source than the creator and the series itself. Thank you for your help, have a nice day.

How can the sources in my Suleymanov article not be reliable? Just because they are Kazakh doesn't mean they are unreliable. The book about Jambul is not fake you can read it yourself in google books e-history.kz is a very respected Kazakh website it is not samizdat nor is it satire it is a real and reliable source used in other Kazakh article in Wikipedia. Soviet aces is used in lots of articles about non-Kazakhs so I know that it is not a prohibited source. Орта жүздің Ноқта ағасы Тарақты шежіресі is a reliable source too it is even used in the Russian language article for him. Suppose you were an editor of Kazakh Wikipedia - would you reject an article about an American medal of honor recipient because you don't think that major american sources like CNN were good enough? If you arent sure what a Kazakh source says all you have to do it use google translate or yandex translate it doesn't matter the point is that Kazakh and Russian language citations are verifiable and can be reliable

) 12:21, 30 July 2023 (UTC) Can you just be honest for a minute - did you make any attempt to read any of the sources I cited in the Suleymanov article at all?) 12:48, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

I've added some other references to make the information more complete, but I also wanted to add that all of this is mostly a translation from the Polish Wikipedia article on the same person. If the article could be published in Polish, why can't it be in English? BoscoPL (talk) 13:19, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

@BoscoPL: every language version of Wikipedia is an entirely different project with their own policies and guidelines. The English-language one has the most onerous requirements (that I'm aware of, at least) in what comes to referencing, both in terms of notability and just basic verifiability. So it can happen quite easily that an article is accepted into another language version, but when you translate it into English, it's not accepted here. I sometimes translate from the Finnish version myself, and I've learned the hard way that the first thing I need to do before translating anything is to check whether the sources are enough, or if they're not, whether I can find additional sources that meet the various requirements.

BTW, if, as you say, you've translated this from the Polish article, you need to acknowledge that as the source; see

Thank you very much for the helpful advice!

You declined this draft, stating that it hasn’t reliable sources. When looking at the article the references are historical reference works, for instance this one and this one. Can you please have another look at the draft and give better feedback? 109.38.139.34 (talk) 17:08, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

The draft has nine paragraphs, of which only three are referenced; in other words, ⅔ of it is not supported by reliable sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:16, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

DOD retry

Howdy….

So… an online copy of his obituary is apparently unavailable. But I did locate the newspaper clipping my mother saved. I do not have the page or publication # but the date of the obit is January 4 1969, the day after he died. In addition I also have a copy of the death certificate; rendered by the city clerk of Gardner MA. (He expired in a hospital there following complications of an accidental fall). It also lists DOD as 1/3/1969. The DOD copy is dated 1/6/1969. Both of these list him as John J Honkonen. Sort of an Americanization of his Finnish name as he was more widely known as Jallu in his Finnish ‘circle’. If necessary (and with some direction) I could photo either of these and upload to you.

I require assistance please because I have no experience preparing these types of articles and do not really understand some of what has been asked of me. I have plenty of back story and history on STEREO 10 as the business owner of the Radio Station, but do not know how to correctly submit this information into the appropriate format. I also do not know how to submit the newspaper and Radio industry articles correctly into the references section as well as adding other information into the appropriate sections. Any help and assistance that could be provided by a senior and experience Wikipedia Editor would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you most sincerely.

Hi @

as useful sources of advice; please read them, if you haven't yet done so.

Your primary objective will be to show that the subject is

the information, it gives you what you need to write. That last point is important: you should not write what you want to write about your business, but merely summarise what others have said, without putting any 'spin' on it.

But first, given that this is your business, you must disclose your conflict of interest (COI) and paid-editing status. I will post a message on your talk page with more information. Please make your disclosure as your very next edit after reading this. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:55, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Double Grazing. Thanks for the reply. I do understand about keeping the content factual and non opinion based about the history, format and function of STEREO 10 as a 'NFP' (Not for Profit) Online Radio Station. I will read over as much of what you have provided for me and do my best to understand it. Much of the content for the article could be sourced from the history page of the website and the rest I could add as first person factual historical knowledge, cos I "lived" it. As for references, there are only 2 external articles written about the re-birth and a Television NEWS segment on BTQ 7 Brisbane / QLD. I also do not want to write what I want about the business, but rather keep it as historical and factual as possible, without any 'puff pieces' or spin, as you put it. I also do not want for there to be any issues surrounding perceived conflict of interests, because my intention is to keep this article as open, honest and transparent as possible. With your continued support and assistance, I am sure this article will finally be what it needs to be. Pantherslair (talk) 15:51, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

@Pantherslair: as my learned friend says, we cannot accept any content that is not supported by reliable published sources, no matter how true and accurate it may be, because a core principle of Wikipedia is that all information must be verifiable from published sources. Also, we only ever summarise what others have said; we are never the first to publish anything, and do not allow primary sources or original research. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:33, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey, In the article for Neville Chamberlain, under the section "September 1938: Munich :: Preliminary meetings," is the following statement: "Under considerable pressure the Czechoslovaks also agreed, causing the Czechoslovak government to fall.^[1]"

As a reader, I need to know what is meant by the CZ government "falling"; there's no nearby context, that I can see in the article, for this assertion. I would think to add a tag for "further explanation needed" or whatnot, but I wanted to check with my mentor on how I should proceed.

Thanks! --Al Begamut (talk) 16:14, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Al Begamut: I would have thought the expression 'government falling' was fairly self-explanatory, but perhaps you're after a more nuanced explanation than simply 'collapsing'?

Anyway, a core principle of Wikipedia is that anyone can make any (sensible, good faith) edit they feel would improve the 'pedia, and that includes tagging articles for improvement. So go ahead – the inline template you probably want is Template:Clarify. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:26, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

yeah for me, and thus for some readers, lacking knowledge of how governments "fall," I want to know how the event triggered the fall and what the government did in the process thereof. granted, the existing statement may be sufficient for an article not about the government's fall but about Chamberlain. but then I would still like a link to whichever article does detail the matter further.

thanks for the tip and guidance! Al Begamut (talk) 16:33, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Incognitopublisher, can you be more specific – what help do you need? I can see that you have already received advice from Liz, and there have been extensive comments left by previously reviewers of the latest draft; please study those carefully, and if you still have questions, you can then come back to me. I would, however, point out that this draft has poorer-than-average chances of being accepted, on account of the earlier deletions, meaning that you would need to demonstrate notability beyond any doubt, as borderline cases will not be given a 'benefit of the doubt'.

Hi, many thanks for your review of

. I agree with your comment regarding the Personal Lives section, why did I include that? Hopefully not just padding it out.  :) It's removed.

Right, I felt notability was there too. This is another case where I've written an article after seeking more information on something/someone I've come across IRL. Have I used primary sources? I'm not really seeing that, is it the Magic Circle references? Another editor had helpfully removed some IMDB references, I hadn't seen these had been disallowed in the past. Can you point me in a better direction when you have time? - Dave Crosby (talk) 10:53, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi – refs 1-7, 13, and 17 are primary, and together they account for more than half the citations. While

primary sources can be used, you need to be careful that they don't support anything contentious, and that they are reliable and ideally independent of the subject. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk

Hello,

You pointed out that more sources were needed for my draft article on "Fire Eater.": Draft:Fire Eater (company)

I added a handful sources for my draft article on "Fire Eater". The sources are a variation of national media (Berlingske), regional media (Sjællandske Medier) and Professional trade journals (Ingeniøren, Computerworld). I have also added a link to the original patent made by the company. Most of the sources are in Danish but some are in English.

When it became clear that the wide spread use of halon for fire suppression was a major cause for the depletion of the ozone layer Fire Eater invented one of the alternatives, which made it possible to put a complete ban on the use of halon.

As the invention of of Inergen was made (1984) before media companies started using the internet the number of English language sources is a bit limited, but through google translate it should still be able to verify all the facts in the article.

Draft:Zvi Landsman

Writing you here as well.. Please see the talk page and see all that was written there. If it's due to being in Hebrew, let me know and I will get you more info but Zvi is an award winning director in Israel and his film was and still is a major thing in Israel. Also, he is more than just a director and according to the rules, he desereves a wiki page. Please see this and respond if anything else is missing. Thanks! Newlywo (talk) 07:46, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

@Newlywo: this had already been declined several times, and in your last submission you introduced no new sources that would establish the person's notability. We cannot keep reviewing the same draft over and over, just because the author is unhappy with it not being accepted.

Also, "according to the rules, he desereves a wiki page" – according to which 'rules' would that be? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:51, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi again @DoubleGrazing, I listed the sources in the draft since addressing them as not "good" isnt correct. I simply wrote about a few of them so it will be clear they are good and reliable sources. I didnt see a reason to add more since I placed more than enough.

The rules I found and read about in wiki.

Zvi is a film director and an award winning one. Every person in Israel in the film industry knows Zvi and this is how well known he is.

From your words it seems you think this is a waste of time but did you see the sources? did you read about them even if they are not in English before declining this and thinking that since it was declined before it's ok? Newlywo (talk) 16:02, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your review of my article.Draft:KunchaiKuttyPilla_Sarvadhikaryakkar The subject is important in the history of Kerala (home to 35 million people - about the same population as Canada or Saudi Arabia) because he was the military leader who prevented forcible conversion to Muslim and torture of millions of people in Kerala at the hands of Tippu Sultan in 1789 had he conquered South Kerala.

Sources about him are scant - I live in USA, but had a chance to visit the subject's village in Kerala and talked to some older people and collected some of the info (verified by talking to more than one person) included there. Rest is from the references cited (Sorry, they are in Malayalam language).

Hello DoubleGrazing and kiitos palijon for so quickly reviewing my draft at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Co1umbus/sandbox&oldid=prev&diff=1172438818

Yes, the referencing is a mess. But I'll do as you recommend and give WP:CITE and WP:REF a more careful look; I think that I have the process backwards.

The books and articles shown in the Reference section are all peer-reviewed works and in many cases reflect very low acceptance rates by established publishers (e.g., Springer, Sage). Wouldn't these qualify as reliable sources that are verifiable?

At any rate, I'll do my homework and straighten out the referencing situation. BTW, I've only been to Finland once; in Helsinki where I bought a pair of slacks that I still own (still fit!).
