Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (March 22)

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

This submission is not suitable for Wikipedia. Please read 'What Wikipedia is not' for more information.

The proposed article is not suitable for Wikipedia. Because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles on fictional subjects should cover their real-world context and contain sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development, impact or historical significance—not just a summary of the plot. You may wish to add this content to an existing article. As anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are free to do so yourself.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This does not appear to be an encyclopedia topic

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Dino Marc/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:Dino Marc/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

I incorrectly submitted my draft page. This is only for experimentation. My apologizes Dino Marc (talk) 00:40, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. Almost all of us, when we start editing Wikipedia, know little or nothing about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, so nobody can be blamed for starting out doing things that are contrary to policies and guidelines that they don't know about. However, continuing to do the same things after being told about the relevant policies and guidelines is a different matter. JBW (talk) 14:57, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@JBW: - I just had a chat with Dino Marc and clarified the difference between an article about the short story, and a review. He's going to try to recreate it in the proper format. Guettarda (talk) 15:17, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Guettarda: OK, and thanks for letting me know. I hope that will work out well, Dino Marc. JBW (talk) 15:21, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the help. Will definitely ask for assistance when needed, thanks.

Dino Marc (talk) 20:57, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a class project? Peer reviews are not really what Wikipedia is for and I'm not sure your new article is any more appropriate than the first version was. @Guettarda @JBW FYI. @Sage (Wiki Ed) @Ian (Wiki Ed) can you provide any guidance on this? Thanks! Star Mississippi 02:56, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Star Mississippi This is a class project, but it's not in the US or Canada, so it's not something that Wiki Education can support. That's why I am offering some help in my capacity as a volunteer, not as that other identity. Guettarda (talk) 03:23, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarification. Saw the intro edits with ‎Bright Sparks29 and wasn't sure if this was a blessed project. Star Mississippi 18:58, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recommendations

Hi! I wanted to give you some feedback and some recommendations:

Firstly, on Wikipedia we can only summarize what others have explicitly stated about the work in question. This is one of the biggest differences between Wikipedia and a traditional paper. With papers it's expected and desired for you to create your own connections, theories, and observations, whereas on Wikipedia it's the opposite. This does pose quite a few limitations, but it also limits the chances of getting content that may be incorrect or superfluous. I'm not saying that your writing was wrong - it looked like it would make an excellent research paper - but we've had people add some pretty wild things to Wikipedia in the past and this is meant to curb that.

Secondly, the sources should be about the work in question. Even if the source looks like it would pertain to the short story or author, if the work isn't mentioned in the source we can't use it to back up claims about the topic. Now I'm aware that unfortunately people who are considered "minority" in any way tend to get less coverage than their white peers, so this can make it extremely difficult to write on some topics and impossible on others. Short stories in general tend to get far less coverage, which heightens the difficulty level.

Now what I have as a recommendation is this:

I've created an article for the short story collection as a whole. While I didn't see any sourcing for the specific short story, there were sources for the collection. What I could access was fairly limited as I don't currently have the ability to get into paywalled databases while I'm working from home. Location in general can also impede resource searches, as search engines in the US won't always pull up the same content that you could find if you were searching in say, Europe - not to mention that it will likely only provide English language sources.

I recommend working on the article for the collection and flesh it out. This brochure goes over how to edit a book article - you can also absolutely ask me any questions you may have about this whole process, as this is an area I'm pretty familiar with - books and films are two of my favorite topics to edit on Wikipedia. I also sent you a copy of the short story article in case it's deleted, as that way you can show it to your professor. If it is deleted, please don't re-add it to Wikipedia.

Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions! ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 12:57, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
