This is the only edit that you have made from this IP address. Were you using a different IP address? The shifting nature of IP addresses is one of the reasons why registering an account is useful. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:47, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]



Hi! I got my draft declined yesterday and I think I need assistance. It was declined due to lack of notability. But regarding Wikipedia:Notability (music)I was under the impression that if a musician was a part of two different bands/projects that are notable after Wikipedia:Notability (music)it meets the Wikipedia criterias. Thomas Youngblood, the subject of my draft is a member of Kamelot and also was part of two albums of Consortium_Project, both albums were released on notable independent labels. I have covered all that in my draft. Xandra73 (talk) 14:14, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article in question is User:Avoronts/sandbox. Your draft was declined for notability reasons. It relies almost entirely on YouTube as a source, and YouTube is not a reliable source. It is also written in a non-neutral tone, from the standpoint of the subject. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:18, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a question, Mattresshugs? Joe Roe (talk) 15:15, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I'm new to wikipedia and the format of my original post must have been incorrect because my question was not displayed. My issue was already resolved, but thank you for the assistance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattresshugs (talk • contribs) 15:23, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Editing an article for submission is pushing me to the (beyond the) limits of my technological abilities. I think my article is good, but I can't get the symbols inserted correctly. How can I get help doing this? Is there someone who can read my draft and send me a sample of what to do, or do you have a sample submission that I can look at to see what I need to do to format mine correctly? PaulaEmery (talk) 19:18, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What is most conspicuously missing from the draft is not symbols but references. I have found one, and added it to the draft to show you how it can be done. But you'll need more, and (despite her distinctive name) acceptable references are not easy to find. Maproom (talk) 20:23, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It appears, based on your statement on User talk:MatthewVanitas, that you are not Polly Young-Eisendrath but created an account using her name, saying that the reason was to permit her to edit the article. That wasn't necessary, and editing an article about oneself is discouraged. You presumably meant well, but you appear to have violated the username policy. I see that now you have adopted a username that is permitted, at least if you are Paula Emery. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:11, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. We had several photos or sculptural installations in Micro Museum (that we took and own) which were deleted in the approval review, and wanted to be sure that we tagged them correctly this time! We are unclear exactly where {{FAL}} and {{OTRS pending}} tags should be placed – within the uploaded photos files? Or in our page coding (we have placed {{OTRS pending}} in the gallery brackets, and in the photo upload files, so hopefully that covers all bases. But if not, where should the tags be placed? On each photo that was rejected the first time? We were not able to find a template or best practice version to model ours after. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Hightopdancer55. Both {{FAL}} and {{OTRS pending}} should be placed on the image's description page, either in the "permission" field of the summary description or in a separate section called "Licensing".
You keep saying "we" – please note that accounts may not be used by more than one person. Joe Roe (talk) 15:21, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
