@Pipercubusa: I moved your submission into draft namespace so you can submit it for review when it's ready. Your submission doesn't meet WP:MILPEOPLE, nor does it meet WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:14, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK- I am completely stumped. I have an article in creation for Nigel Randall Evans but every time I try to submit it i am sent back to the page which tells me that it is in creation and is not yet submitted. I am tertiary educated, and a Professor in a University but I cannot work this out . Help please !!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nowinrozelle (talkcontribs) 05:43, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Nowinrozelle: @Jamesd.evans: Oddly, this submission already exists at Draft:Nigel Randell Evans. I'm not sure if that's the reason you're having difficulty but your submission has no sources at all so it cannot be accepted. Chris Troutman (talk) 06:48, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The version I uploaded had references cited in the article-how do I get it back to make sure they are there — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nowinrozelle (talkcontribs) 07:12, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A copy of your submission is still at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Nigel Randall Evans. The references (and most of the submission) were not displaying because you had missed out the / characters required when closing a references tag. I have added in the missing characters with this edit. The submission is still awaiting review. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 09:43, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To editor Shiroikabe: 今日は, hello. Do you have a question about an article submission to Wikipedia? Anon126 (talk - contribs) 22:14, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear reviewers, My submission Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Rotating Armature Alternatorhas not been accepted. I got an email from my reviewer UkuleleDude Aggie80 that has the "Alert: 1 images have been blocked. Display Images in message. Always display images from this user." By the way, I have already performed the editing tutorials successfully.

I can remove all the images, but that would be a lot of work. There are over 23 images in my work so far. Please tell me which image is blocked and why.

Thank you. Douglas Nelson Turner Douglas Nelson Turner (talk) 14:51, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The message about images is from your email software or your web browser, not from Wikipedia or anyone at Wikipedia. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:42, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear reviewers: My redirect from "Wikipedia talk:Articles for Creation/Rotating Armature Alternator" has three templates that impart

"Your submission at Articles for creation: User Douglas Nelson Turner April 11",
"Your submission at Articles for creation: User Douglas Nelson Turner April 12",
"Your submission at Articles for creation: User Douglas Nelson Turner April 15", have been not been accepted.

I have only submitted one draft and not under my name, but as "/Rotating Armature Alternator". Why are the rejection templates being produced, without my submissions? Am I inadvertently submitting? I won't knowingly resubmit until I know I've fixed any errors.

Thank you, Douglas Nelson Turner (talk) 15:09, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To Whom It May Concern:

Please let me know how we can upload photos to the article, thank you.

Take care,

To editor UeharaKaori: The image first needs to be uploaded. I assume you want to upload a picture of Dan Liu that you took yourself. If that is the case, you should upload it to Wikimedia Commons (you can log in with the same username and password as on Wikipedia). You can then use the picture on Wikipedia. (Change the filename that says "DSC_4576.jpg" to the name of the picture you uploaded.) Anon126 (talk - contribs) 22:05, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what to do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.187.139.14 (talk) 20:34, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How do i add a picture? 71.48.14.55 (talk) 20:56, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The picture first has to be uploaded. Because this article is about a living person, you should have a photo that you took yourself or that someone else has released under a free license (such as CC-BY or CC-BY-SA). If that is the case, you can create an account and upload it to Wikimedia Commons. After that, you can use it here on Wikipedia; read the picture tutorial to learn how.

I began the process of starting a Wikipedia page for the company that I work for - Tekron, in January 2014 Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Your submission name here Most of the information was taken from our website or media which is sent out to our clients. I am unsure as to why the application was unsuccessful and would like some help towards getting our own Wikipedia page up and running. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards.Tekroninternational (talk) 23:56, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
