Mark Oosterveen draft submission
editHi Jamie,
Thanks so much for your surprisingly speedy response to my submission of "Mark Oosterveen" as an article. I did not expect someone to respond so quickly!
Thank you also for explaining the reasons for why the submission was declined, that is very helpful of you. Looking at the submission again, I do think that the References section looks a little messy and needs tidying up.
I am a little unsure as to how to best go about this however, as you say in your comment that the references "do not show significant coverage... about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
Every single reference is a published, reliable and secondary source, as far as I can tell? They're definitely all secondary, and by "published" I assume that being "published" online still counts? Or does it need to be something published in physical media?
As for reliable, I suppose that is subjective, but I consider the BBC, the Guardian, the New York Times, the LA Times, the New Yorker magazine, IMDB etc to all be very reliable sources. In fact those are some of the most respected and high-profile news organisations in the world, as far as I know?
The only thing that I concede does make sense is the phrase "significant coverage", which applies to some but definitely not all of the references and external links. Do you think it would be best to trim them down (there do seem to be too many) so that only the ones with significant coverage remain?
I hope you don't mind me following up with these questions, your feedback is hugely appreciated. Thanks so much again for your help! RegBurrell (talk) 09:34, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
Zagga draft submission
editHey Jamie,
Thank you for the review on the article about “Zagga” however i do not understand what you mean when you say "do not show significant coverage. about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject" Because I used only notable print media and notable online sources. Can you please help to guide me as to a few examples of reliable, secondary sources? Thank you Brent millions (talk) 06:37, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
