Your submission at Articles for creation: Yeronga Park Memorial Pool (August 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Dan arndt were:

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 passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet 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.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:NGEO, requires significant coverage (about the swimming pool - not the adjoining park) in multiple independent secondary sources. The Brisbane City Council is a primary source.

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:Yeronga Park Memorial Pool 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.

Unusual wikipedia page

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

To whome whoever is reading this I have come across quite an unusual wikipedia article under the title Chelsea Dickenson. The page, although meant for Chelsea, gives a brief biography of Namunswa Alma D, who if my math is correct, is not Chelsea Dickensen (they call me Sherlock Holmes). Also, the sources are odd, and the titles are not very neutral. I did a bit of digging, and I struggled to find any reliable sources or any sources really at all about this person at all.

Considering I am fairly new to Wikipedia editing, I was not sure how to approach this situation or who I should talk too so I decided to contact an administrator. If this is the wrong place to talk about this, please let me know. Joecompan (talk) 09:52, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the article. It seems someone replaced the article not that long ago with an article about themselves. Happy editing, Dreamy Jazz ^{talk to me | my contributions} 10:14, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Fencing's Never-Ending Second (May 8)

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

The comment the reviewer left was:

I feel like this has the potential to be notable, but the sources cited aren't quite enough to establish that, given that the secondary ones (#3-5) are all from the time of the bout, with no evidence of lasting coverage or impact. Can you find any sources from later times that still refer to this?

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:Fencing's Never-Ending Second 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.

Yeah completely agree. I just created it via the Australia wikiproject thing not realising it just automatically makes the page. As I said in the edit summary it was meant to be a draft. I am currently working on it. Joecompan (talk) 03:05, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words.

Broc (talk) 10:02, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Broc oh shiiii my bad. That was unintentional. I tried to paraphrase but I obviously didn't do it well enough. I apologise for the inconvenience it won't happen again. Happy to rewrite it if need be. Again sorry bro. Joecompan (talk) 10:04, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We take copyright issues very seriously on Wikipedia, but I understand it is a rather complex topic. To simplify to its very core: don't copy a source and try to change a few words (see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing), rather read the source and rewrite the sentence entirely in your own words.

Once you've rewritten the text, let me know. I will run it through Earwig and remove the copyvio template accordingly. Broc (talk) 10:33, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks bro working on it right now. I will get it back to you ASAP. Joecompan (talk) 10:35, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Broc I have rewritten it. Let me know if there are any issues more than happy to help out. Sorry for putting you through this lol my bad. Joecompan (talk) 12:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I requested revision deletion for the edit history containing the copyright violations, an administrator will have to process it, it could take some time. Broc (talk) 12:34, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Broc appreciate it bro. Joecompan (talk) 13:33, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Style suggestions

Hi, just thought I'd write down three recommendations from the Wikipedia:Manual of Style:

MOS:DATES January 13 not January 13th
MOS:DASH 50–100 not 50-100; note the en dash instead of the hyphen symbol, which can be added using {{ndash}}
MOS:UNIT 10 cm not 10cms; note the non-breaking space between the number and the unit, which can be added with {{nbsp}}, and no plural "s"

To be used in your current and future articles :) Broc (talk) 07:24, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks man much appreciated! You've been a great help. Joecompan (talk) 07:39, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
