Use of thumbnails in Infoboxes
Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Ronnie Woo. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). If you have any questions, let me know! :-) You can respond on my talk page, or here. If you respond here, please include {{ping|zackmann08}} in your response so I am notified. --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:37, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- I had missed that one, Zackmann08. Thanks for catching it. Mduvekot (talk) 16:44, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
- You bet! --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:09, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
King Kong Article
Hey there Mduvekot. You disapproved my article for King Kong Agency because of "few" citations. I have added more citations that content. Citation from Inc, HuffPost, Elite Daily, Engadget and more. This is quite confusing because I can point you to hundreds of pages with much less citations that the one that I provided.
Can you please explain to me more clear what you mean by reliable sources? The domains that I am adding are probably the most reliable pages there are out there.
King Regards Tolkinas (talk) 12:07, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Tolkinas, I declined to move the draft into mainspace because I didn't think that the subject was notable. In reviewing the sources I found that:
- http://anthillonline.com/straight-outta-anthill-australias-coolest-companies-2015/ is about Blamey Saunders Hears
- http://www.inc.com/aj-agrawal/6-ways-young-entrepreneurs-can-finance-business-ideas.html is about financing a startup
- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/charmaine-belonio/6-ways-to-make-your-custo_b_9741344.html is about customer retention
- http://elitedaily.com/news/politics/donald-trumps-manipulation-social-media-made-gop-frontrunner/1477616/ is about Donald Trump
- https://www.engadget.com/2016/06/22/where-digital-advertising-is-going-next-user-experience-and-spyi/ doesn't mention King Kong at all
- https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/274314 has a quote from Suby, but nothing about King Kong
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBsVUlgxjQU is a primary source
- http://www.topgunba.com.au/top-gun-webtv-eye-on-the-future/ is a primary source
- http://kingkong.com.au/blog/ is a primary source
- In summary, the sources do not support the content of the article and there is no significant coverage of King Kong in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. A mention, even in a typically reliable source is not enough, it isn't significant coverage. Primary sources are not acceptable. You don't have too few citations, they don't meet our requirements. All the best,Mduvekot (talk) 12:43, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
