I'm requesting help for the draft mention above to be review and if there is something else lacking can someone advice me or help what else need to be done. Job.com was notable online much more to Indeed I think because it was launched in 2001 and Indeed was launched in 2004. I hope someone will take a look and review.

Hello all! Trying my best to create a new page but it keeps getting declined. All my issues are to do with references and reliable sources even though I think I have enough. This is my first time uploading to wikipedia so any help would be awesome. Also if anyone reading this is a pro and wants to earn a little bit of cash for writing an article, (redacted) Tom.upload (talk) 14:11, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
This query concerns a draft article called "DoITPoMS". It was submitted recently, but quickly rejected by Numberguy6. This appeared to be mainly on the grounds of it constituting an advertisement. I can completely understand this, but I'd like to suggest that it be looked at again, perhaps after I've made some minor edits to it. I did try to contact Numberguy6 directly, by submitting some comments to the Sandbox, but this may not have been done correctly. I also made an attempt to clear the idea of an article on DoITPoMS beforehand, but this also may have been submitted incorrectly.
I should first clarify that DoITPoMS is a freely-accessible website created (by volunteers) in a very similar way to Wikipedia. It provides a number of teaching and learning resources in the area of Materials Science. These have proved to be very popular with a wide range of users around the world. It has been in existence for about the same period as Wiki (ie just over 20 years) and, while its scope is clearly much more limited than Wiki, it does function in much the same way. Access levels are relatively high - of the order of 100,000 hits per day. In fact, there are many articles in Wiki that cite pages within DoITPoMS. Many such details, and an indication of the history of DoITPoMS, are included in the submitted article. In terms of independent sources concerning DoITPoMS, a handful were cited in the draft article - there simply aren't many published papers concerning it, and indeed there probably aren't so many about Wikipedia! It is true that the first one of these was a paper in which I'm the first author, but I'd be happy to remove this. I should emphasise that neither I, nor any of the many other contributors and organisers involved with DoITPoMS, benefit financially (or in any other way) from usage of the site. It is essentially a philanthropic exercise, in much the same way as Wiki. We also raise money for the running costs in the same way as Wiki (by soliciting small donations from users), although in fact the running costs for DoITPoMS are very small. These details also are included in the submitted article. I therefore feel that, while the response of Numberguy6 is entirely understandable, there is in fact scope for including an article about DoITPoMS that would serve a useful purpose, but would not infringe any of the guidelines concerning independence, vested interests, notability etc. As I say, I'd be happy to tweak the article in ways that are felt to be appropriate.

Hi! I've submitted this draft for Earthworks Audio twice, and it has been rejected both times. The reason given is: "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."
Before I edit and submit again, I would very much appreciate more specific details on what needs to be changed for the article to be accepted. Does it need more sources? Are the current sources not considered reliable? Thanks for your time!

I submitted this draft after I added more detail about the company, but I don't know too much about them and I am hoping that someone else can add additional information so that I can successfully publish this page.

This is for the page Adrian Fontes aka Adrian_Fontes. I'm really struggling with the edits needed to make this page publish-worthy. The feedback says there's lack of biographical notoriety, but I don't understand that - Fontes is the democratic nominee in the 2022 arizona secretary of state race, one of the most-watched races in the country, and there's an entire page dedicated to the race itself. and his republican opponent in the very same race qualifies for his own wikipedia page. And fontes was in charge of administering the 2020 elections in maricopa county, the election which was the subject of the nationally famous "arizona audit." I'm really really struggling to understand the lack of biographical notoriety. Beachflowering (talk) 21:05, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
When trying to add selected WikiProject tags, it says "An error occurred (unexpected-result) Please try again." When trying again, it either says the same thing or becomes rate limited.
