Hi Samee: Thank you very much for taking the time to edit my submission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mona_Bijoor), given that this is the second time it has been rejected I'm hopeful you can provide me with some guidance on how it can meet Wikipedia's high standards. I think part of the problem is the fact that as an entrepreneur all of the most verifiable sources like Bloomberg and Crains focus more on her business than on her (every assertion however patches the article citing it). I'm also unsure how to approach attribution, is there such a thing as too much of it? I felt that it made sense to go with fewer, stronger ones to save editors some time; but I'm beginning to guess that's not the case? Finally, how can I establish notability without engaging in puffery. It's a business-to-business company, so it's very much behind the scenes; but for anyone in and around the fashion industry, you'd need to know about it. Thanks so much!! |

Hi there, |
|||
I was just after some advice on how to improve my article in order to meet publishing criteria. If you would please identify the sentences which are too promotional I will work on improving them - as all I can see is factual points, potentially because I have worked on it for so long. |

Airtel Digital TV
Thanks for uploading Airtel Digital TV Logo. But please consider uploading it as new version instead of uploading it as a new file. In that way, we can keep the older versions. Cheers BINOY Talk 05:13, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- Binoyjsdk; uploading a new version requires file extensions to be in agreement. The file you uploaded was in .jpg format and the new version uploaded was in .png format. Obviously this could not be uploaded as a new version; also PNG format is preferred over JPEG/JPG in Wikipedia. As far as your concern to keep old versions, orphan files/versions under fair use claim are non-free and should they are not being used in any article, they are up for deletion. There is a template we use to request deletion of such versions. -- SAMI talk 05:26, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Abhay Vakil
Hello Samee. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Abhay Vakil, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: whether all the 100 richest indians merit articles i would leave to AFD. But it is a plausible assertion of importance or significance so A7 doesn't apply. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 18:01, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Greetings Mr. Samee. you have been the worthy reviewer of the Article on Khan Sahib Syed Ahmed Rashid. i wish to know from you the options i have to ensure that the Article meets your approval and conforms to Wikipedia requirements. Does the personality and supporting evidence meet the wikipedia requirements. This is my first attempt. Am i concluding correctly that you expect recasting the sent material ? or is it something more? could i be provided an expert who could respond positively to your requirements? if so on what terms i seek you suggestion and your help.
Regards
Syed Haroon Rashid
- @Syed Haroon Rashid It does not require mere my approval but should meet certain Wikipedia standards. As regards your draft, please maintain formal neutral tone; the draft feels reading like a blog. I'd like to encourage and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, a collaborative effort by editors like you and me.
- Articles don't begin with subheadings like about and introduction; all what you typed in these subheading may be added into the lead of the article. But this is not the only reason for rejection. There are numerous peacock terms used in the articles. These are the words often used without attribution to promote the subject of an article, while neither imparting nor plainly summarizing verifiable information. Instead of making unprovable proclamations about a subject's importance, use facts and attribution to demonstrate that importance. See a few examples from your draft:
- Other Prominent members being
- a well known lawyer of Meerut
- elder brother Mr. Syed Ahmed Ashraf was a leading Barrister in Karachi
- highly appreciated by the President
- excellent social, welfare and sporting activities and public services
- very successfully managed
- he worked hard with his uncle, late Dr. Sir Syed Ross Masood
- and so on. Also please don't add titles and salutations such as Dr, Mr, etc. Please revise your draft and resubmit it.

Thank you very much for taking the time to edit my submission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mona_Bijoor), given that this is the second time it has been rejected I'm hopeful you can provide me with some guidance on how it can meet Wikipedia's high standards.

I'm also unsure how to approach attribution, is there such a thing as too much of it? I felt that it made sense to go with fewer, stronger ones to save editors some time; but I'm beginning to guess that's not the case? Finally, how can I establish notability without engaging in puffery.
