- Draft:List of Halloween Wars episodes (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I need to color co-ordinate my season header/titles with the Series overview part. I tried to do it manually in the edit box but the final draft shows no color in title box of each season chart (the part where it says "Season #" "Episode #" "Episode Title" "Original Airdate" and "Judges".) Looking at other tutorials/articles on color and text, there's many options and I don't know which one will work with my format.

FYI, The page I created where I'm having the color problem is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:List_of_Halloween_Wars_episodes It's supposed to be an episodes page to link to this other page I recently created: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_Wars

Our article has been declined multiple times. The suggested changes have been made each time and the article continues to be declined. We had added 3rd party reviews and have made every effort to comply to the standard writing guidelines. Any further assistance or guidance you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly! Publicmbp (talk) 18:15, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Publicmbp. To be blunt, you have not been making the changes suggested by the reviewers. Your last submission was declined because your draft is not written in an encyclopaedic style, and yet all you have done before resubmitting is add another unencyclopaedic, highly promotional paragraph. Writing an article from scratch is difficult. It is not recommended as a way to start editing Wikipedia because it requires a good working knowledge of Wikipedia's house style, content policies and conventions. Your draft is not written in Wikipedia's style; it reads like a PR piece and will need significant changes before it is accepted.

It's also important to bear in mind that some subjects are simply not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia and therefore never will be accepted. This is obviously problematic when you have been paid to write an article and one of the (very many) reasons that paid, conflict-of-interest editing is strongly discouraged.

We need some articles for 2017[edit]

We don't have 2017 in baseball 2017 in music and 2017 in television but when are we going to see these articles being created.2600:8803:7A00:19:BC15:DA40:B315:B801 (talk) 23:30, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I imagine the relevant Wikipedia:WikiProjects will create them when enough has been published to make them worthwhile. Joe Roe (talk) 14:47, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and ~~trolls~~unregistered editors with more enthusiasm than common sense who make demands to create articles take up volunteer time replying to them that could be spent creating the articles. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:35, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
