November 27[edit]
I have updated and saved the draft of Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Nick_Saglimbeni
Please review when possible.
Thank you, VlBPR VlBPR (talk) 03:50, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
- There is currently a severe backlog of over 1,200 articles to review as I write this. In your case, someone will need to check all of the references to determine if they are significant enough to establish notability. Please be patient. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:23, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. Please consider asking this question at the Wikipedia:Reference desk. They specialize in knowledge questions and will try to answer any question in the universe (except how to use Wikipedia, since that is what the Help Desk is for). Just follow the link, select the relevant section, and ask away. You could always try searching Wikipedia for an article related to the topic you want to know more about. I hope this helps. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:54, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Review of User:Bonrapture[edit]
I have been working on this for some time. It is a Harmony James page. At the moment I see User: Bonrapture. Will this change to Harmony James if submission is accepted. Bonrapture is my user name , its not the name of the article. thanks Bonrapture (talk) 09:08, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
- I have moved the article to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Harmony James. I cannot currently pass the article because, although the list of achievements suggests James is indeed a notable musician, and the Sydney Morning Herald and Brisbane Courier articles are good references, those in themselves aren't quite enough for notability. If you can provide direct evidence of chart success (Chart Stats used to be good for this, but in the past few weeks the whole site has been taken down as a result of a copyright infringement claim :-/), then I can pass the article - see WP:CITEHOW for instructions on adding inline citations. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:49, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
What else do I need to do to get the article Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas approved? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrsChrissie (talk • contribs) 09:56, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
- You need much better sources. The draft currently cites only two, one of which is the BBBS Central Texas website. I have some doubts about the other's reliability; there's no indication of editorial oversight. The testimonial, in particular, is by a member of the organization and thus not a good source. Wikipedia content should be based on reliable sources that are independent of the subject, such as newspaper articles. The current draft seems to be based on the organization's own website.

I am trying to submit an article to Wikipedia for the first time. At every stage of submission the text has disappeared, and I have had to re-copy the text four times - so far - in order to proceed.
First, I attempted to submit the article via a subpage (User page: Jamesvin44), but could not locate the MOVE button to place it in the Wiki main text area.
Then, I tried to use the Article Wizard, and my new article "Louisa Nottidge" has been declined, but awaits a second review. Okay.
This week I deleted my user page (Jamesvin44) pending the acceptance of the article in the Article Wizard process.
Has the deletion of the text on my user page also deleted the article text, awaiting review, on Article Wizard?
Do I now have to re-copy the article on Article Wizard for the fifth time?
I expected editorial challenges in submitting an article - but had no idea that the mechanics of submitting it would prove a much great barrier.

- Your draft is intact and awaiting review here. You can work on it there - do not recreate it in your userspace or anywhere else. Roger (talk) 11:21, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tour Egypt
Tour Egypt is a tourism company that operates and arranges tours for clients who want to visit Egypt. Its website, formerly owned by the Egyptian government, contains a great amount of information on Ancient Egypt as well as modern Egypt.
Here is the website's about us page: http://www.touregypt.net/aboutus.htm
Here are two links from the NY Times that talk about Tour Egypt's website:
1. http://www.nytimes.com/1999/04/04/travel/travel-advisory-several-red-sea-reefs-open-again-to-divers.html 2. http://travel.nytimes.com/frommers/travel/guides/africa/egypt/frm_egypt_0398026644.html
It is also listed on: http://www.sis.gov.eg/En/Story.aspx?sid=1121
Tour Egypt's website is used as a reference in many articles about Egypt and its tourist attractions on News websites such as:
USA Today:
1. http://traveltips.usatoday.com/aswan-city-egypt-27464.html 2. http://traveltips.usatoday.com/egyptian-pyramids-near-nile-river-63659.html 3. http://traveltips.usatoday.com/egyptian-pyramids-13614.html 4. http://traveltips.usatoday.com/cairo-climate-weather-21021.html 5. http://traveltips.usatoday.com/nile-river-cruise-ships-60021.html ... this list does not end there.
Washington Post: 1. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/14/AR2005101400885.html 2. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/26/AR2007102600742.html
Reuters: 1. http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/02/03/us-egypt-protests-tahrir-idUKTRE71270P20110203
Note: There are other links similar to these.
Tour Egypt is also a company that is certified by the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA): 1. http://www.asta.org/Publications/DatelineDetail.cfm?ItemNumber=6781 2. http://www.touregypt.net/JimmyDunn_ASTAcert.pdf
Please tell me how to create an article using these sources.
Thank You Very Much ,--Jusstin (talk) 12:28, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
- None of the sources you have provided look particularly independent - they all appear to have an air of advertising and promotion about them. Also, they appear to be largely promoting tourism in Egypt, rather than Tour Egypt as a company itself. ASTA certification (which I assume is the equivalent of ABTA in the UK) is required for every travel company, so does not help us with determining that the company is notable. Based on that, I find it would be unlikely that the article would pass with any of those sources. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:33, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
I submitted a demo stub article titled gfdjcytrkcur that I would like to delete before it is reviewed. This was done as part of a demonstration for how to submit a new article.
I don't want to waste the reviewers' time. Is there a way to delete this submission?
Thank you.

- You can add {{db-self}} to the top of the article, and an admin will delete it for you. I've done this to the article, so it should be cleaned up soon. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:22, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi! I was wondering if I submitted this in the right place, because it's been almost three days now, and it's not been reviewed. If it is in the right place, I don't want to seem impatient. Thanks, Jakob 21:31, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, it's correctly submitted; as long as there's a "review waiting" message and it's categorized among the pending AfC submissions (the very last line), everything is ok. But there's a massive backlog of almost 1,300 unreviewed submissions, and it will take closer to three weeks than three days for a reviewer to look at your draft. At a glance I have doubts about the draft's sources. Thriving Family is a subsidiary of Focus on the Family, definitely not a reliable source. And Goodreads doesn't even give the correct year - the book isn't set in 1900. The Young Reader's Choice Award website is a primary source on their own award. Scholastic is by far the best source and it even gives some information on the supposed real-world background of the story that didn't yet find its way into the draft, but on its own it may not be enough.
