May 10[edit]
Hello,
I think I may have landed in AfC by mistake. I've been working improving the Sara Niemietz article for about a month. I created Sara Niemietz discography in the Draft section and used the "publish your article" link to arrive here.
After reading up on AfC, I find that there is a backlog of articles and that AfC is meant for those who wish to post anonymously/or don't have enough edits to move the article. Considering the backlog, should I remove the AfC template and move the draft into article space myself?
This will be my first new article, I believe I have decent references and category templates.

- Yes, that would be grand. Also, if you can improve on your layout and formatting to suit Wikipedia guidelines, that'd be even better (see WP:LAY). Thanks. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 21:12, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Is the article reviewed?[edit]
I recently created an article on Erin Martin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Martin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Erin_Martin
I searched for Erin Martin and found no result so I created the article. Now that I've submitted it, I got a warning that a page with the title exists. But when I search for Erin Martin, I redirect to my article of Erin Martin.
So I need confirmation on my article, is there really another article exists with the title of Erin Martin? Or the article meant is actually my article? And is my article reviewed?

- It means your article. Normally, editors will move the page to the mainspace. I have requested deletion of your AfC page. Good contribution. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 21:07, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Renaming an AfC[edit]
How do I delete the AfC Wikipedia talk:Articles for Creation/Alcohol (Race Horse) which I've renamed for consistency with other similar articles to Wikipedia talk:Articles for Creation/Alcohol (Horse) ??

- Both pages are non-existent. But I know what you mean, it's already been requested, there's nothing to do now. For future reference. Either blank the page (delete everything on the page) or request for speedy deletion. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 21:02, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Trongos[edit]
Hi, I am the process of creating a listing for my invention the Trongos, a newly invented musical instrument. Upon review I was informed that I did not have enough resources. My question is: since this is a new invention and I am the inventor, how am I supposed to get resources on something that is so new? Will uploading photos help? Should I list my web page that has information about the Trongos? Richard — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.89.169.169 (talk) 11:29, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- Before anything, you have to show your subject (Trongos in your case) is notable. If you can find any newspaper or notable websites that interviewed you about your instrument, or anything else that proves to us that it is notable. See WP:notability for guidance. Please understand we cannot put everything on Wikipedia; there are millions of people inventing many million of things, they invention must be notable for inclusion here. Hope you can understand.

WARWICK EVANS DESIGNER[edit]
Hi New to all this. I have made THREE requests for clarification. My article about the Cambridge industrial designer has been knocked back due to lack of references. But, it has over a dozen references. I have asked for clarification on this point, but answer comes there none.
Could somebody just send me a simple link to where you would like the references put, please?
Thank you Jhoward2003
Jhoward2003 (talk) 18:54, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- It is not the quality of your source that is the problem, it is the fact that either we will never be able to find the source and so it is not verifiable, and also because you didn't give us any links to anything specific - i.e. an article about the topic. A lot of topics are covered in the http://www.designcouncil.org.uk website, it's not all on Warwick Evans Designer. Be more specific. Find sources that people can actually look up. Those are the two points of improvement. Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 20:53, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
I need help creating an article for Phoenix Stone. What kind of sources can I submit?
Socialjas (talk) 20:05, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- Anything notable, verifiable and reliable. See WP:V Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 20:58, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Jonathan Erickson Eisley[edit]
Question, How do you create a listing for this person, Jonathan Erickson Eisley. He is all over google, IMDB, been an actor for years, his brother David Glen Eisley is on Wiki, his sister in Law, Olivia Hussey is up on Wiki, his niece India Eisley is up here and his father, Anthony Eisley is listed, they are all actors that are known and yet Wikipedia cannot seem to verify any information on Jonathan Erickson Eisley who has been working as an actor and has over 64 credits on the IMDB alone. What is the secret to creating a page for this guy? Please let me know, because the last reviewer declined to open a page up after their review. Thank you, Just google his name and see. Best, A — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aypoliakin (talk • contribs) 20:16, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- It is not about the subject, it is also about how the article is written. Improve on your article by improving references, expanding the article body, and if you can't be bothered, simply request it so someone else can (MAY) write it for you (see WP:RA) Kinkreet~♥moshi moshi♥~ 20:58, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
I'm a little new here an I created the page 'List of crayola marker colors'. I don't really understand what I did wrong. Can I have some help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmkearney (talk • contribs) 21:01, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- Hello there! Sorry about the wait in responding, my internet blew out the moment I hit "Save page". Heh. Anyway, you might wish to look at List of Crayola crayon colors, it's a good reference on how to style this kind of article. Thanks, Nathan2055talk 14:48, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

- Excuse me, but this appears to be a joke. Please read the manual of style, reformat your article, and resubmit it. Thank you. --Nathan2055talk 04:34, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
- I fail to see how making it MOS compliant will make it suitable for inclusion... Pol430 talk to me 17:13, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
