Observation.org
moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to

Observation.org

. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and currently has only primary sources.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Jeraxmoira (talk) 10:35, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll add some more external sources and scientific publications. Please do take into account the existing external sources from GBIF. My intention was to start the article (was actually surprised that it didn't exist yet). You might also want to check out https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waarneming.nl, https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waarnemingen.be, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observation_International.

Also, please be aware of the Conflict of Interest I declared on my user page. At the request of the authors of the de.wikipedia article, we made media available (see Wikimedia Commons, Observation.org).

Let me know if there are any other concerns. dyve 10:48, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Please add them and submit your draft. Articles about organization (commercial or otherwise) should meet

Your submission at
Observation.org
(December 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Greenman was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to
Draft:Observation.org
and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Dyve! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Greenman (talk) 08:59, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to look at this. I have added references (websites and peer reviewed scientific publications), and the references to GBIF stating the position of Observation as the world's 3rd largest biodiversity open data publisher. I've also looked at similar articles for a good structure. I think it's better if I ask for some help from local Wikipedians to better adhere to guidelines. I'd also like to limit my involvement due to my CoI on this article, per Wikipedia guidelines. If there are any specifics in the article that feel wrong, please point them out.

Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Changes to Wikipedia's software have made your current custom signature invalid.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error or obsolete HTML tags.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, you can fix your signature, or you can do nothing.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (Do not click the red "Restore all default settings" button, which will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Click the Learn more button next to the error to learn how to fix the error.
Update your signature to fix the error.
Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Solution 3: Do nothing:

In accordance with a recent request for comment, all invalid signatures will be changed to the default, which looks like "Example (talk)", one month from now.

If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of European Union for Bird Ringing

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read
the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard
to help you create articles.

The page

section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://euring.org/files/documents/brochure2007/EURING_brochure_english_2007.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been 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.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review. — Diannaa (talk) 13:38, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, thanks for your concern. Most of the factual information was taken from the EURING website. Apparently the wording was too close to what is there. This was not my intent. I will recreate the article more stub-like (initially), taking care not to use any wording from the EURING site. The EURING site is not mine, I am not a member. I know the organization because we have been involved in the same research and I have been to some of their meetings. Dyve (talk) 13:52, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See

Draft:European Union for Bird Ringing. Dyve (talk) 14:49, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

That version looks okay from a copyright point of view. — Diannaa (talk) 20:57, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at
European Union for Bird Ringing
(February 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth
(not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent
of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Their website/publications are

primary sources

and not independent so cannot be used to establish notability and should only be used very sparingly.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to
Draft:European Union for Bird Ringing
and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
