March 3[edit]

10:28:14, 3 March 2017 review of submission by Bhnupur[edit]


My draft "Debanjan Bhattacharjee" was rejected 18 days ago. I have made important amendment , as per the guidelines, and would like to submit the new draft for a re-review. However, I am unable to resubmit it. Can you please guide, whether the newly editted draft dated today, 3 March (IST), has been automatically submitted for a review ? Bhnupur (talk) 10:28, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Bhnupur. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Yes, your draft has been re-submitted (you did so a few days after it was declined). There are currently about 200 drafts in the queue ahead of yours, so it is going to be a few days before someone takes another look at it. Thank you for your patience.

13:18:14, 3 March 2017 review of draft by RenaeSmith[edit]


Can you help me cite this article?

RenaeSmith (talk) 13:18, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RenaeSmith. I've corrected the syntax of the citations in the draft. The opening <ref> tag should be placed before the url or other description of the source, whereas the closing </ref> tag should be placed after the description of the source. The other mechanical thing you should do is to move the inline citations from where they are now, clustered in the references section, to immediately after the sentence(s) that each source supports. See Referencing for beginners for further explanation.
A larger issue is that the draft should only use reliable sources, and it needs independent sources to demonstrate notability. IMDb is user-generated, so it is not a reliable source, and should not be used as a reference (it may remain in the external links section). I haven't watched the WLTZ video. It's probably a reliable source, but if it's an interview consisting almost entirely of Smith talking about Smith, then it isn't independent. Independence is also a concern with the remaining two sources, which appear to be press releases designed to promote NCIS and Smith respectively. You can look for articles in reliable sources (think The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, The Los Angeles Times, etc.) but it may be too early in her career for enough reliable sources to have written about her, in which case it would be too soon for Wikipedia to have an article about her. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:30, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

18:35:47, 3 March 2017 review of submission by Paulboll[edit]


I am a first timer sorry. i am just learning the ropes, i have edited a few articles, this is my fist article.

I made an article submission which was rejected on a few issues, Not satisfying standards - policies and the sources were announcements, notices and profiles

i read wikipedia policy and other info, looked for more info on notably sources, and have found others. could you have a look and tell me if the changes to the article will resolved the issues highlighted in the first submition rejection. Any assistance would b great.

Paulboll (talk) 18:35, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The lead is an incomprehensible non-sentence, with unpaired quotation marks. The second section is another non-sentence, ending in a comma. The article cites no sources at all (though it does list some). Maproom (talk) 19:14, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thanks, i have made some changes, I am not sure how to add sources into the article.

Paulboll (talk) 21:25, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Paul. I've left some comments on your draft. If we can be of any further assistance, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:46, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 20:51:09, 3 March 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Galey tungwar[edit]


I would like to request assistance because my instructor wanted me to post Wikipedia Entry paper on Wikipedia site for more marks.

Thanks you.

Galey tungwar (talk) 20:51, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Galey tungwar: Hello, Galey. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Our apologies for the delay in response. Your draft is unlikely to be accepted for publication in its current form, because it does not comply with many of our basic guidelines for articles. You might want to read through our WP:Tutorial for information on our basic stylistic and referencing requirements. But even after doing that, there will still be a question of whether the material you are presenting really merits a stand-alone article, as opposed to appearing as a sub-section of the article on Fort McMurray. For that question, you might want to open up a discussion on the talk page of that article. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 02:09, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
