Question from D7g8d (14:44, 30 July 2024)

[edit]

Hello. After many weeks of waiting, my submission Draft:Mont-Avalanche (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mont-Avalanche) was again declined twice over the last two days as allegedly being "not adequately supported by reliable sources." I very strongly disagree, and the reviewer provided no specific detail, comment or suggestion. My submission is about a local ski resort, and there is no article about it in the New York Times or in the Washington Post. This mountain and ski resort do exist. I believe that my numerous sources, which include the government of Quebec, local government web sites and local newspapers, are reliable and adequate. Now, it appears that if I cannot provide at least one reference to one source marked as "generally reliable" from the list found in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources), my article will never be accepted. Is it the case? My article is relatively short, but I invested a lot of time understanding how Wikipedia works and how to include content, such as pictures. How can I save all this work and have my article accepted? --D7g8d (talk) 14:44, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@D7g8d: I see that the reviewer did not provide any specific suggestions. Did you try reaching out to them to ask for suggestions? There is no such rule that an article must contain a reference from the list of perennial sources. The article should be based on what independent reliable sources have written about the topic. Which sources are local newspapers? Your work has been saved at Draft:Mont-Avalanche, and will be there until it becomes an article or for six months after the last edit. CFA noted that your draft could be notable. Have you tried reaching out to them? Good luck with your draft! GoingBatty (talk) 03:55, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hzt0208042508415531 tw: Hi there! I have checked your Draft:The Zhao Fuqiang Case, and see that it was declined once in February. I don't understand why you say the draft "was again declined triple". Have you tried reaching out to the reviewer for suggestions? Good luck with your draft!

Hello, GoingBatty,

I was just wondering if there was a reason that BattyBot stopped operating. I usually check its edits to draft articles and I noticed it has made no edits since April. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 22:05, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: Yes, my computer died and I haven't bought a new one. I'm enjoying my time off, but may one day resume the bot's activities. GoingBatty (talk) 03:34, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
