Please review this article on TV personality Roleglio Mills and provide me feedback so that it can get out of "unreviewed status"

Iam7 (talk) 05:25, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is my first page from scratch. Looking for some guidance, perhaps on headers. Does everything look ok?


Romkeh (talk) 06:18, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Avoid using "Notable" in a header; it's not neutral.
There's some unreferenced facts; I'm particularly bothered by info on an "upcoming book" - unless there is some reliable source discussing the book, like a newspaper, then that needs removing.
Other claims needing refs include "served on the Board of Directors of AIPAD" and "past Chairman of Photographers + Friends United Against AIDS" - can you cite somewhere that can be checked?
"debuted and represented artists including" - needs references
"as well as countless others" - remove that; not neutral. WP:PEACOCK
It's pretty good though, mostly. It could be made live.  Chzz  ►  16:21, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Amk791/Alex Merivale Healthcare Solutions

The article has been written and ready for publishing

Amk791 (talk) 08:59, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because it has no references to independent, reliable sources, it would probably be speedy-deleted as an 'advert'. Please see WP:VRS, WP:CORP, and the business FAQ.  Chzz  ►  16:24, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ussa.shini/US Security Associates

My first article called US Security Associates got deleted. can i know the reason behind that? now i created the article under the user profile? how to move this article to public? At what time i can move my article for public ?

Ussa.shini (talk) 09:20, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would need references to "reliable sources", such as newspapers or books. Please see WP:VRS, WP:FIRST, and WP:REFB.  Chzz  ►  16:51, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[Databazaar Media Ventures]

Raydev (talk) 09:22, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That article was misplaced, in "Wikipedia talk:Databazaar media Ventures". I have moved it to your own userspace area, where you can work on it: User:Raydev/Databazaar media Ventures.
Articles need references to independent, reliable sources - see WP:VRS and WP:FIRST. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  16:56, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will copy this to the user talk, as well.  Chzz  ►  16:56, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please review this brief outline of this accrediting body.

I would like to add pictures, but I can't seem to figure out how.

Would like feedback on my references.

FosterSwift (talk) 15:25, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a flower.
Before worrying about pictures, you'd need to add references to show where the facts could be checked - in independent reliable sources - see WP:VRS. You haven't demonstrated why the company is notable - see also WP:CORP.
If you overcome that, then...adding pictures is very easy; for example [[File:flower.jpg|thumb|This is a flower.]] (shown here).
Actually finding pictures that we can use - with valid permission for them - is more tricky. See Wikipedia:Finding images tutorial. We cannot use any copyright-protected images, except in very special cases.
If the article were made live, then it would be possible to add a logo under the terms of "fair use of non-free images" - but, that only applies to live articles.  Chzz  ►  16:29, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would appreciate someone taking a look at this. I incorporated previous feedback in this version; I'd like to get it live.

Tryout22 (talk) 16:01, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm concerned that there are still lots of unreferenced claims - therefore, I can't check facts such as;
  • "received the Christopher Award in 1993"
  • "and the Julia Spruill Book Prize"
  • "born in Washington D.C."
  • "recalled that although she was shy as a child," (and rest of this sentence. Looks like WP:OR?)
  • "graduated from Pennsylvania State"
  • "master's degree in African history from Northwestern"

...and so on.

Also, all direct quotations must have a reference - e.g. Parade magazine called it "a seminal new book on women in journalism." - we need to know which issue, date, author, title, etc. -Same for all quotes, another being Heilbrun said "Reading 'A Place in the News' was like seeing my life as a professional woman pass before my eyes."
Any information lacking a reference may be removed, by any editor (WP:V, a core policy).
If the article goes live, and other editors amend the unreferenced facts, we won't be able to tell which is correct.
I'm particularly concerned about died at age 69 after a sudden heart attack in Santa Monica - a claim like this absolutely must have a reliable source; I'm sure you can appreciate why. Chzz  ►  16:37, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I Have just started my first article and before getting too far down the road wondered if anyone could take a look at it to confirm if the subject is worthy of inclusion. Am still in the process of writing, referenceing etc.

Thanks Bobble2005 (talk) 16:08, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, no, it doesn't meet the notability requirement - see WP:VRS and WP:CORP.
All facts need references to reliable sources.  Chzz  ►  16:39, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
