05:11:03, 26 June 2015 review of submission by Tabiluh[edit]

I would like to request assistance on how to improve my page so that it can be accepted. Tabiluh (talk) 05:11, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Tabiluh: Articles must be based primarily on independent, reliable, secondary sources. The draft cites only the work of the authors of the study that the draft is about. What are needed are sources independent of the study, it's authors, and their employers (e.g. not foodpsychology.cornell.edu). With academic studies that usually means other academic studies that discuss the first study. There may be usable sources in the external links section. The Los Angeles Times article, for example, might be suitable if it isn't just cribbed from the "Hey journalists, here are some stories you could write" section of foodpsychology.cornell.edu.

How does one make an information box on the right side of the page?

@Huntington Smith:  Done Worldbruce (talk) 10:40, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Huntington Smith: What you're looking for are infoboxes. We have different infobox for different subjects; in this case, Wordbruce added Template:Infobox organization to your draft. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 19:45, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nimbus10 (talk) 14:08, 26 June 2015 (UTC) Draft:Nicole Crespo, I have blanked my page as this article has not been accepted and I still find it on Wikipedia? When will it be completely deleted. It did not meet wikipedia criteria and I will not be continuing its creation. Thank youNimbus10 (talk) 14:08, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't blanked the draft itself, Nimbus10, only Draft talk:Nicole Crespo. If you wish to have the draft itself deleted, you need to blank Draft:Nicole Crespo and then add {{db-author}} to the page. Voceditenore (talk) 14:14, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also you don't really have to delete it. You can leave it here for someone else to find, in case Ms. Crespo becomes notable in the near future. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 14:30, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

violinist Violinist Draft Nicole Crespo

Thank you Jeraphine Gryphon for your guidelines throughout the editing.

But if Ms Crespo is not notable now for the fact she was the violinist invited to play at Wikipedia´s ONLY 10th Anniversary. I thought Wikipedia was important. Plus the other referenced material I provided. I do not want to damage by my editorial skills the career of a person. But I do thank you.Nimbus10 (talk) 14:50, 26 June 2015 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nimbus10 (talkcontribs) 15:01, 26 June 2015‎

15:43:01, 26 June 2015 review of submission by 205.200.229.136[edit]


Hello! I submitted this article for consideration a couple of months ago (after already receiving some great advice from one helpful Wikipedia editor). It was declined due to its failure to meet notability guidelines -- there wasn't enough evidence that the subject of the article was sufficiently important. I went through the article again and added about 10 more citations from both mainstream and industry-specific publications, so I'm hoping this might improve its chances of being accepted. Would someone be willing to give it a second look and give me any advice on what more I could do to improve it?

Thank you in advance!

 Done, cleaned up and published for you. Removed some info that imho runs afoul of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:13, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
