Your submission at Articles for creation: Wei-Ying Ma (October 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Ldm1954 were:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please look at other bios and rewrite:

1. No bragging, called WP:PEACOCK 2. The page should not be a CV 3. Please find independent sources, e.g. a link to his PhD 4. All claims must be backed by sources -- all.

He will probably end up with a page, but first it needs to be in the right form.

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:Wei-Ying Ma 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.

BLP tagging

Hi there, thank you for all your work on Wikipedia! I wanted to let you know it's not appropriate to use the Template:BLP directly on article talk pages. Please tag using the Biography WikiProject and set the |blp=yes instead in the banner shell. Thank you. (e.g. Talk:Diana Guatemala) -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:40, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly! Thank you! Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 15:40, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject Biography tagging

Hi there. Thank you for all the good work you're doing! Secondly, on a more minor note, I wanted to flag that for biograpical articles, ideally you should add |blp=no or |blp=yes to the banner shell for articles of people as appropriate, so they don't get added to maintenance categories like Category:Biography articles without blp parameter. Such as at Talk:Sylvester Grigsby, which I've since fixed already. Thank you. :-) -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:22, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Got it! Thank you for pointing this out. I'll go through my edit history and fix what I can find. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you see anything else I can improve on! Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 15:58, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did look back and see that you fixed a few so I apologize for you having to take your time to fix my mistakes. Like always, thank you for your guidance and reach out if I mess up, or if you think there are projects I can help with! Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 19:49, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They were quite easy for me to find and am always happy to help! If you're interested in biographies in particular, WP:BIOGRAPHY is the main WikiProject page, though it covers quite a broad area. I'm personally a member of WP:WOMENSCI which is a sub-set of that and more specialised. There are lots of projects to explore. :-) -Kj cheetham (talk) 17:02, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Kj cheetham :)

I come across quite a few Biographies about people from China. Are you familiar with how to correctly enter their names in the listas part of the talk template? Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 16:12, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I came across this today: WP:OFWV Is this something anyone can do? I love it! Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 16:49, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For listas for Chinese names, I'd consult WP:SUR. For WP:OFWV, you'd be very welcome to sign up for that. :-) -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:49, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you as always! Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 16:09, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I just joined the general Biographies project for now. As I get more experience, I'll eventually narrow my focus but I felt like this is a good start. Thank you again for pointing me in this direction. I look forward to making more meaningful contributions. Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 20:03, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
