hello, I am trying to make a page and I do not know anything/ am very confused. Help lolRowlandrobinson94 (talk) 00:23, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Rowlandrobinson94. I've left a welcome basket of links on your talk page to help you get started. It's easiest to begin by improving some of our 5.5 million existing articles before trying to create a new page. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:58, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

[edit]
How do I change the name of a "Draft" that has already been submitted for review/
Sofbar1 (talk) 01:56, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Sofbar1. In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). Focus on the content first, before worrying about the title. The current content stands no chance of being accepted for publication. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:08, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

There are thousands of entries with the same sources from my article, but mine is not approved? Please help.
Editor0088 (talk) 03:46, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Editor0088. Encyclopaedia Metallum (metal-archives.com) and discogs.com, being user-generated, are not reliable sources and should not be used as references. If thousands of articles reference them, then you can help to improve thousands of articles by finding replacement sources that are reliable. Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources has some suggestions. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:32, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
11:06:31, 4 December 2017 review of submission by Theunveiledvisage
[edit]Hi, It has been more than 2 months now since I had written the draft on "Suhail Chandhok". After it got rejected because of having used the peacock terms, I rectified the same. However, there is no update on the article being accepted or rejected. I'm anxious now and need to know what the status of the article is. Kindly look into the matter and give me an update regarding the same. Your help will be appreciated. Thank You. Theunveiledvisage (talk) 11:06, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Theunveiledvisage. The draft has been in the pool to be reviewed since October 27. About 430 drafts have been waiting for review longer than this one. With the current backlog, the draft is likely to be reviewed within the next three weeks. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:38, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi! I am looking to publish a Dutch article on a Dutch politician, but apparently I am in the English section. How do I get to the Dutch Wikipedia so I can have my texted reviewed once more?
Thank you so much.

- Hi Jojooo75. The url for the Dutch Wikipedia is https://nl.wikipedia.org/ --Worldbruce (talk) 18:40, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I tried to publish a wikipedia article about a French brand called "Gifi" but unfortunately my article has been refused two times already under the claim that it did not include "independent" sources. After my article was first refused, I included new sources which mentioned this brand but weren't directly linked to it before re-sending it, but again my article was refused because of a lack of independent sources. Could you please tell me why my sources aren't considered as independent ones? I thank you in advance for your answer. Regards, Paul Paul Hermann (talk) 14:50, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Draft:Gifi doesn't cite any sources at all. So the claim that it does not include "independent" sources is irrefutably true. Maproom (talk) 18:10, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Paul Hermann. Possibly you are confusing external links with sources. From the draft it appears you are struggling with some of the basics of writing for Wikipedia (which is not unusual, none of us was born knowing how to be a Wikipedian). I've left a basket of welcome links on your talk page that may help you get your bearings. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:50, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Can you Move the 2018 In American Music from the Draft to the main Article Space if you please there's 3 references. 68.102.39.189 (talk) 19:52, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
68.102.39.189 (talk) 19:52, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- A. It is not submitted for review.
B. Where are your three references? I see none. JTP (talk • contribs) 22:43, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- I think the request actually pertains to Draft:2018 in American music. Bradv 18:53, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
