06:32:10, 5 May 2016 review of submission by Brhebert[edit]


Some ofthe issues with the curreent version of this Wiki page might be problems of editing and organization. How do I do "clean-up" if I am a novice at editing and clean-up?

Hello, I've recently submitted an article on a juicing company but have received feedback it reads too much like an advertisement and should be written from a neutral point of view. I have changed the tone several times but still haven't been successful. Another issue is h=I have provided links for references however received feedback it doesn't show notability of the business- my links include an article in local newspaper Liverpool Echo, a blog post on the products, and an introduction to the company on an entrepreneur website. Please can I have some advice on improving my chances of getting the article submitted. Thank you. AmyEasyTech (talk) 09:33, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I have tried to submit my Wikipedia page for review a few times and I am having an issue properly sourcing the page. The most recent editor said I need in-line references. Right now I have a section called "In the Media", but do I need to have an additional section with references? Thanks so much! Kara.schell (talk) 14:07, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My new web page is Draft Status. Your person Marchjuly requested that I move it on to whatever the next approval level is. Could you tell me exactly how to do this without referring me to another Wikipedia page. I am 80 years old and need someone to give me exact instructions.

Thank you very much <Personal information redacted>

Hi Hubert Leon Raper. As I posted on your talk page, you can submit your draft via Wikipedia:Articles for creation when you think it's ready. To do this simply add Template:Submit to the top of the draft. The way to do this is click the "edit" button for your draft, add the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the page, click the "Show preview" button to check to make sure you added the template correctly, and then click "Save page". Your draft will be added to the list of other drafts waiting to be reviewed. The AfC reviewer who reviews your draft notify you on your user talk page when they have finished their review. It might take a little while if there's a back log and because all Wikipedia editors are volunteers.
Finally, some friendly advice. Wikipedia has special ways of doing lots of things including the way editors sign their posts. The easiest way to do this is using 4 tilde (~~~~). This will automatically add your username and a time stamp to any talk page/noticeboard post you make. You can also customize your signature a bit if you like per WP:SIGNATURE so that your posts are signed "Hubert Leon Raper". Also, please try to understand that (once again) pretty much everyone you encounter on Wikipedia is a volunteer and not paid staff of the Wikimedia Foundation. All contact between Wikpedia editors typically takes place via Wikipedia talk pages, etc. to allow others to follow what is being discussed and comment as needed. Therefore, personal information such as your phone number or your email address is almost never going to be used by anyone to contact you regarding Wikipedia matters except in cases where privacy matters take precedance. Your personal information, however, may be inappropriately used by others more interested in furthering their own interests than either yours or Wikipedia's. So, please be careful how much you reveal because once something is posted on Wikipedia, it's there for everyone in the world to see and use as they see fit. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:06, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
