I have alerts for my new page. Can someone please let me know what I have to do in order for this page to be accepted. I just want to share the resources in the library with the community and let them know where we are and what we have. We do not make any profit and so I am not advertising for a business.

  • Your appear to be someone who works at The Grove Community History Library. This does not mean you cannot edit or contribute to the page but, since you may be seen as having a WP:COI, readers should be aware that the article may not be written with a WP:NPOV as long as you are the major contributor. You should read WP:COI and WP:NPOV to be aware of Wikipedia's related policies, if you haven't yet. The COI tag should stay on the page until other editors decide that a significant amount of the article was written by someone without a conflict of interest. To clarify, it isn't necessarily a problem with the article, it is just to make readers aware.
  • An organization does not have to be for profit to be advertised, in its current state the article looks like an advertisement for the library, not an article about the library. See WP:PROMO particularly points 4 and 5. You can remove this tag once you feel the article meets WP:PROMO however I recommend you have another editor check the article first since, as it is your article and you may have a COI, it may be hard to judge the article neutrally. You can get help from other editors with just about anything at WP:TEAHOUSE.
  • Information on the page may be verifiable through the links you have but the presentation is not consistent with WP:REF which could make it hard for users to verify information. You can remove this once the page is updated to use Wikipedia's citation style. You can look at some other Wikipedia pages to see how citations should be used.
  • This article may not meet WP:NOTABILITY. Not everything can have an article on Wikipedia, even if similar things do. You can demonstrate notability by providing references from third parties. You can remove this tag after you feel the article demonstrates notability as per Wikipedia's policies. You can find notability requirements specific to organizations at WP:ORG. Note that with this tag, like the advertising tag, it may be best to have another editor review the article first.

I have posted a question onto WP:TEAHOUSE. I am not sure it was posted as I was having trouble signing the post. I am still learning the code and there didn't seem to be the auto sign. I added what I thought was correct and the message disappeared so I am assuming it posted ok? History6011 (talk) 01:57, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
