09:31:30, 22 March 2017 review of submission by 95.92.171.211[edit]


On 2nd February I created an account. However I did not notice that I had received an email confirmation message, and it seems the account now does not exist anymore.

It is somewhat confusing, because on 24th February I managed to submit my article for review, and was not informed of the lack of account. At this point, I am happy to create a new account, but am perplexed about having to create the whole text and code for the article again. Is it at all possible to a) retrieve the account, or if not, b) at least retrieve the article User:Christopherbochmann/sandbox/Christopher Bochmann so as to be able to work on it further?

Thank you for your time. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards 95.92.171.211 (talk) 09:31, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. Accounts are outside our scope, and you may have better luck asking about them at Wikipedia:Help desk, where editors will try to answer any question regarding how to use Wikipedia. That said, I'm not sure what makes you think the account doesn't exist anymore. To me it looks like there is a Christopherbochmann from 2 February and an older ChristopherBochmann. If you entered an email address when you created these, and still have access to that email account, you should be able to reset the password on one of them and continue using it.
With regard to the draft submitted for review, it is located at Draft:Christopher Bochmann. Wikipedia strongly discourages autobiographies. If you are Christopher Bochmann, please write about yourself at LinkedIn, or Facebook, or your own website, anywhere but Wikipedia. You're very welcome to edit Wikipedia, but please stick to topics with which you have no conflict of interest; we have over five million to choose from, such as:

Request on 11:01:05, 22 March 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Jenniobidike[edit]


I have been working on updating and revising the page Sam Angus (writer)and have edited the page to address some of the issues of the currently existing page. I have been working on this page for a few weeks now and believe the current edit, which I think can be found on my user page under contributions. I think this edit is more suitable and ticks many of the boxes many of the other users have addressed. I would like some feedback to see if this edit can be accepted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jenniobidike (talk) 11:01, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Jenniobidke. Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia. Your draft no longer exists separately from the Main space article. Any edits you wish to make to the existing article should be discussed on the article's Talk page. NewYorkActuary (talk) 14:41, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 12:41:19, 22 March 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by LouiseSheffield[edit]


Hello,

I am looking for some advice on the above submission. I have been transparent throughout and have tried to remain neutral by just putting the facts of the wildlife centre. Any advice on specifically which bits to cut out would be very gratefully received. Or would anybody else be open to editing the submission so that it is acceptable? I do believe that it is notable for Wikipedia, as it attracts 150k+ visitors a year and is no.1 on TripAdvisor for Sheffield, no.4 for South Yorkshire. Smaller wildlife centres and farms are on Wikipedia.

Kindest Regards,

LouiseSheffield

Hi LouiseSheffield, the problem is actually that you have no acceptable sources. You need to find articles in the mainstream press, newspapers and magazine articles about the centre, but not press releases, they must be real journalistic articles. Academic articles are also good sources. See the notability standard for organizations for more specific guidance. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:47, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To those working at the articles for creation help desk,

My page submission has been stagnant for 3-4 weeks now, and I was wondering if there was any way to monitor its editing and submission progress? Is there any way to view what priority the submission has been given? Is there any way to address concerns by reviewers that might expedite the process?

Thank you for your time taken to address these questions. Sincerely, Sarah

The backlog count is at Template:AFC status. We are highly backlogged at the moment, and will try to get to yours soon. Thanks for your patience! JTP (talk • contribs) 20:14, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

23:14:49, 22 March 2017 review of submission by Laurars[edit]


After I started my draft I noticed I entered the title as Automated efficiency Model. I am unable to determine if it needs to be changed to all caps - Automated Efficiency Model - or first cap - Automated efficiency model. Also unable to make the change. Are you able to fix this or provide instructions? Thank you.


Laurars (talk) 23:14, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article now appears at Automated efficiency model. NewYorkActuary (talk) 04:13, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
