Your submission at Articles for creation: Ira Glass (band) (April 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 was:

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This made me chuckle but... the band does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. The best source is Chicago Reader which actually has some critical assessment of their music but still it's only a couple of sentences so trivial coverage. Stereogum is a blog which is generally considered unreliable (see WP:BLOG) but even so, those are essentially announcements/trivial coverage. The other is an interview which is considered a primary source and not entirely independent. See WP:NMUSIC for the guidelines. You also need at least one qualifying source outside of the Chicago area.

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:Ira Glass (band) 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.

Editing medical articles

First of all, thank you for your edits on Avian influenza and Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 (two pages which I monitor).

I'd like to add a note of caution about your edit though. You said "Removed that humans "rarely" become infected, as this does not seem clear or accurate to me..........". This sounds like a personal opinion, and it's contrary to Wikipedia policy. There's a particularly high bar for content in medical articles - WP:MEDRS applies. The two sources for the paragraph you edited - WHO and CDC - are both using the word rare at the moment for bird --> human transmission. See the latest update from CDC - https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/about/index.html. If you have a MEDRS source which says differently, please cite it.

If you think about it, there are 36 billion chickens in the world, and 8 billion humans. How often does bird flu cross the species barrier? Rarely.

The other part of your edit added "as of December 2024" - do you have a MEDRS source for that statement?

Please don't take my comments negatively, you obviously share my concern about current developments. On a non-medical page I wouldn't have commented.

Thank you for this feedback, it is very helpful for me as a new editor. You are right in that I share your concern, and as this issue garners wider attention I am committed to providing the most accurate and accessible information possible.

I did not intend to offer a personal opinion by removing "rarely," it seemed a bit imprecise and potentially subjective at the time. But I agree with your reasoning.

For your second note, I have now added a citation, a scientific article from this month asserting no human-human transmission.

Thanks again for your note. Kind regards. ChthonicSweetie (talk) 05:04, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
