Hello, and welcome (back) to Wikipedia!

Thanks for your revisions to the Karim Ahmad Khan article. I reviewed your changes and found them to be acceptable. However, I advise you to avoid excessive wording (like "alleged") that gives way for expressions of doubt. If possible, please use more clear wording. Cheers.

Thanks for your contributions to Ogallala (game). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. QEnigma talk 14:04, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the helpful feedback. I’ll look into adding better sources and improving notability. Appreciate your time :)

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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:Ogallala (game) 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 or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, BrassBirmingham! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Greenman (talk) 11:23, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there’s just no way to win against Wikipedia’s source criteria. There are sources — but they’re not “in-depth” enough, not “independent” enough, not whatever-enough this time. So unless the game was covered by the New York Times, it doesn’t count? How does a board game that’s been around for nearly 40 years still “not merit an article”?

I found the game listed on another Wikipedia. Is that a reliable enough source?

Hi BrassBirmingham, other Wikipedias do not count, see WP:CIRCULAR. However, perhaps you can use the sources given in the German article for your English article, I hope they are whatever-enough. --Cyfal (talk) 07:28, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm a part of WikiProject Board and table games noticed you started Ogallala, which is currently sitting in draftspace. Articles for older board games can be very difficult to get published, especially originally non-English ones, but I have some sources that may help you:

- Reich der Spiele (marginally reliable as determined here)

- Games International magazine here and here (see Computer Games Magazine, reliable but these are only brief mentions)

- Won 9th (runner up) in Fairplay's Á la Carte awards

- Another source for 2004 Deutscher Entwicklerpreis second place award

This may still not be enough to establish notability, but still worth a try. Also some general advice for board game articles: follow this guide to reliable sources if possible, do not reference BoardGameGeek except as an external link at the end of the page, and adding a Reception section discussing game reviews or awards can help establish the page's notability. Hope this helps! :) Salem Ander (talk) 18:51, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I hope to get around to it at some point. BrassBirmingham (talk) 05:01, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There have been some improvements, see if there is anything else you can do with it, and resubmit when you are ready. :) BOZ (talk) 07:54, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
