July 25[edit]

Hi,

I submitted an article in May and was wondering why it was turned down. Can you please give me some help to get it submitted?Thenfc (talk) 11:45, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft doesn't cite any reliable sources that are independendt of the subject, such as articles in national newspapers. We need such sources both to allow our readers to verify the article's content and to establish that the topic is notable enough for an article in the first place.

Your draft - Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/aptiDude - doesn't reference any sources at all and the text is full of promotional language. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:32, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How can I get my article approved? I am creating an article for a soccer organization and every time I try to submit it, it does not get approved. It has sources and is just stating the facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbrownuysa (talkcontribs) 16:33, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Utah youth soccer association - All your references are from the organization's own website, which proves only that it exists. To prove notability you need to show that people who have no connectiuon at all to the organisation have decided that it matters enough to write about. Newspaper or magazine articles would be the most likely sources for this type of organization, if they exist. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:39, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dalibor Markovic odnosno palma ili DALI.br0 je oduvek bio cigan i imao mafijaske slike na drustvenoj mrezi fejsbuk. Njegov cale je patuljak i dzibra na roze ponici u fraku u potrazi za novim pristalicama pokreta roma. Cak i u osnovnom obrazovanju su svi mislil da je on cigan. To se vidi kad ga je uciteljica jurila sa toljagom da mu je nabije u cmar zato sto je on ukrao flomastere. DLI.br0 je ipak bio pametan i sakrio se u WC kabinu pa je uciteljica sutirala vrata u zelji da mu furiozno promrndz cmar sa toljagom. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.222.79.30 (talk) 17:39, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My article was rejected stating it looks more like an advertisement , can you help me get it accepted

That article is very short on third-party sources, and it contains some rather promotional-sounding claims such as "internationally recognized", "intensive training", "making library time at AIS informative, dynamic and enjoyable" and so on. That last one clearly is not the appropriate tone for an encyclopedia article, and for the others you'd at the very least need third-party sources. Huon (talk) 03:33, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many of your references are not reliable by Wikipedia's standards, say press releases or his Google+ page, and for biographies of living persons we require inline citations. You may want to have a look at WP:Referencing for beginners; that page explains how to easily add nicely-formatted footnotes. Huon (talk) 03:33, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi.

i'm new to this. How do i get an article public? — Preceding unsigned comment added by C.Dyreborg (talkcontribs) 20:22, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It will never published here - this is the English Wikipedia - all our article must be in English. Look for the correct language at meta:List of Wikipedias. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 20:19, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

References help[edit]

I am editing Articles for Creation/ Joseph M. Schwartz. In the preview I get; ^ Democratic Socialists of America. http://www.dsausa.org/our_structure. Retrieved July 23, 2013. Missing or empty |title= (help) ^ Schwartz, Joseph M.; Maria Svart (June, 2013). "The Problem is Capitalism". In These Times 37 (6): 18. ^ Schwartz, Joseph M. (March 29,2013). [www.dissentmagazine.org/online_articles/social democracy-for centrists "Social Democracy for Centrists?"] Check |url= scheme (help). Dissent. ^ Schwartz, Joseph M. (2009). [www.tikkun.org/article.php/20090226165948636 "How a President Creates Change"] Check |url= scheme (help). Tikkun. [Mark this page as patrolled]

I do not understand Missing or empty title. It is an organizational chart showing his position. The second two references. dissent. and Tikkun. I checked. Both references work.

How can I go back to the reference template to find out what the problem is?
