Hello, Kolluru81! 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! Akevsharma (talk) 12:03, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank You @Akevsharma.

I have used reliable sources of Parliament library, which are publicly available and verifiable. Could you please let me know where we can correct? Kolluru81 (talk) 09:23, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Working on Draft:VK Reddi/VK Reddy/Vangallu Kodandarama Reddy

Hi Kolluru81. I'm continuing here rather than at the Teahouse because the Teahouse thread will be archived and become more difficult to access soon. I'm happy to help you improve your draft and I see that the .pdf links are now much better. I've further tweaked the first reference using #page=9 at the end of the URL so that it will open for the Wikipedia reader at the page where the information you are citing is located. That's a good tip since it means that the reviewers of the draft won't have to hunt around in a long document. You could do the same for the other citations like that. Note that the page number refer to the .pdf as it is now, not to the original pagination.

I'm going to make a few more changes to the draft: for example Wikipedia just says "Reddy died on December 22nd, 1969." not "VK Reddy breathed his last on December 22nd, 1969." which is part of our manual of style (WP:SURNAME) and the desire not to use flowery language. I'll also mark with the template {{cn}} those bits of the draft where I think it is vital to provide citations, which I hope you will be able to provide. There should be no hurry to resubmit the draft: I'll advise you when I think it is ready. Meanwhile, if you have more questions, please just add them to this part of your User Page and I'll notice them. Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:18, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Michael D. Turnbull, Thank You so much for your kind support. Looks like i see more comments requesting to add citations, which is helpful. I am doing my research and shall add the necessary details. As and when i add more details, i shall keep you posted. Thank You once again. Kolluru81 (talk) 12:38, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Also @Michael D. Turnbull i need help on changing the Draft Title. Actually Mr VK Reddy was also known by few other names like V Kodamdarama Reddy, Kodandarami Reddy. And the draft title as incorrect surname (Vangallu is correct). Could you please help me with editing the title to : VK Reddi/VK Reddy/Vangallu Kodandarama Reddy/V Kodamdarama Reddy/ V Kodandarami Reddy. Kolluru81 (talk) 12:42, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

No need to change the title at present and when we resubmit it can be specified. Wikipedia has a guidance WP:COMMONNAME for choosing titles, so you need to decide what's most often seen in the sources you use. I've wikilinked a couple of articles on the movements Reddy was involved with: they have extensive bibliographies which might be useful sources if any mentions Reddy. I see that you have uploaded an image, which I presume you scanned from an old newspaper. There is unlikely to be a copyright issue since India uses creation date + 50 years for photos from before 1958 but you should explicitly state on the image page where you obtained it and when it was first published as it is clearly not your own work.

Hello @Michael D. Turnbull,

Greetings! Thank You so much for wikilinking of movements.

I have uploaded few more documents, wherever citations were needed. Could you please check if i am in the right direction.

Appreciate your support! Kolluru81 (talk) 15:40, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm afraid that what you've done now is problematic. In effect, you are trying to host sources (the scans of the letters) within Wikimedia Commons and then use them in the article. That's not how Wikipedia works: sources must have been published externally to the encyclopaedia (see WP:RS), otherwise you are breaking the rules at WP:NOR by trying to use Wikipedia for original research. The only way to use such a source is if had been published in a newspaper or a book, with editorial oversight. There is a further problem regarding copyright of the letters but that is of secondary importance since even if you were entitled to license them they can't be used. I suggest you allow them to be deleted. You must try to back up the facts in your draft in other ways. The most likely will be newspapers published in the 1950s: these don't have to be in English. Mike Turnbull (talk) 19:06, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Michael D. Turnbull,

Actually i didn't know how to use the sources, like private letters written by then Chief Ministers and the heads of organizations to convey their condolences. Could you please advise how should i proceed with that? Kolluru81 (talk) 07:16, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

You can't. The fact that they were private means they don't fall into Wikipedia's definition of a published source. You presumably had access to them from some family archive or maybe a local library archive. The only way to turn them in to something Wikipedia could use is if a scholar of Indian politics wrote a book or a journal article or a newspaper column based on these sources. Then you could cite that publication. I regret to say that you may be wasting your time trying to develop the draft: we have an essay that is worth reading from this link which explains the position you are in. I don't follow Indian politics but I would expect there to have been many scholarly accounts of the parliaments of the 1950s which might mention Reddy. It is up to you to seek them out. Note that there is a specific project for editors interested in Indian politics and you may have more luck trying one of their Talk Pages for advice. Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:12, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank You @Michael D. Turnbull. I understand what you are saying. Let me seek help and keep you posted. I appreciate your support. Thank You So Much. Kolluru81 (talk) 17:13, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Image source problem with File:V KODANDARAMA REDDY.jpeg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:V KODANDARAMA REDDY.jpeg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:01, 20 November 2023 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
