October 20[edit]

Dear Sirs,

A week ago I submitted a wiki-page: "Articles for creation/Zinc lozenges"

I prepared it in my Sandbox and I understood that I could submit it directly from the Sandbox. However, I did not find out how the page could be named, so it went to submission without the intended name. The intended name was "Zinc lozenges and the common cold" since it specifically restricts to the effects on the common cold. Can I change the name in some way myself, or could some senior editor change the name to the more specific (instead of simply "zinc lozenges").

Yours

I have moved this submission to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Zinc lozenges and the common cold as requested. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 11:14, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still not sure why my submission is being detained. Someone added to it, which is fine, but it does not appear to the public. Why is it detained? I've been getting advise from Anna and Huon about the page needing to be put in article creation rather than user page, but I don't quite understand it. Do I just need to wait for it to be accepted? I resubmitted it on Friday.

It has been accepted and is now at Janet Bennion - adding a photo would be nice if you have a suitable one. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:43, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved

Hi,

It seems the ed who reviewed my submitted article is away on a break until 1 December. Any chance someone else could review the improvements and help me get the page up before then?

Many thanks. Maglinders 16:42, 20 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mag-Linders (talkcontribs)

It will be reviewed - by any reviewer - in fact we discourage the same reviewer repeatedly reviewing a submission - so it is of no consequence that the previous reviewer is not available. I have taken a quick look at the draft and see that you have actually not done anything to solve the problem - the article still has no references at all. You have many (far too many in fact) external links, most of them should rather be used as proper references - see Referencing for beginners for guidance on how to do it.

Nine citations added in new References section, and some external links removed. Would be grateful for another review. (Learning curve - did not understand that external links are not references.) Many thanks. Maglinders 14:03, 21 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mag-Linders (talkcontribs)

OK, but do you have a question? Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:45, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, at least there is now an article of sorts to look at! However, you'll need to prove that Harris is notable enough for an encyclopedia entry by providing some reliable, independent sources about him. Sionk (talk) 14:59, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good afternoon, I have linked to my new article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/William J B Morris (rugby) from a separate and relevant article. How does Orphan status get 'lifted' please?Gergaskman (talk) 18:20, 20 October 2013 (UTC)Gergaskman (talk) 18:34, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You remove the {{orphan|<date>}} tag from the page - it's usually near the top. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:47, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Communication for Behavioural Impact Article Submission from EH-COMBI[edit]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/EH-COMBI A reviewer reported that my submission has copyrighted content. The content referred to as copyrighted was written by me while at the World Health Organization (WHO) and shared with the website Communication Initiative...WHO information is in the public domain since it is a United Nations agency....since I wrote the piece referred to ...what should I do next... simply rewrite it??

You have two options.
First is to re-write the material entirely in your own words. This is especially appropriate if the original material may not be suitable as an encyclopedi entry, as is most likely. It may also be the easiest solution.
Second is to make clear that the material is licensed in a manner allowing its use on Wikipedia. You could do this by arranging for the website where the material was originally published, to have a suitable notice on the relevant page; more information about this can be found at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
