03:14:55, 30 October 2018 review of draft by Dane1x[edit]


There are quit a bit of topics that I do not know how to add in...... for instance, Kirk is listed in wikipedia already under NAACP THEATER AWARDS The Article is Great.... but more than Likely the references are not.... they are references but I am afraid that I'm not understanding which of Kirk's references to include. also how do I list his credits..... How do I link Kirk to his grandmother's page as well... Juanita Moore is her name Thanks so Much Dane1x (talk) 03:14, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • You must include newspaper, magazine, book, and news reports about Kirk as references. You should read WP:YFA for basic editing help. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 08:58, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

04:11:35, 30 October 2018 review of submission by UnivacTechDweeb[edit]

Hi there. I was wondering as to the status of this page. It was reviewed by User:Catrìona and declined on August 11th. I have submitted changes based on her recommendations and am still awaiting further notice of edits needed or publication. CitationBot did some further edits on August 24th and CASSIOPEIA did some further Authority Control changes on September 18th. Can you look into this for me? I understand you are all very busy, but any light you can shed on this would be great and I'd love to get the page live. Thanks! UnivacTechDweeb (talk) 04:11, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

07:59:28, 30 October 2018 review of submission by AlinaGusewa[edit]

The user Aspireforintelligence asks to help him review the article for notability. But it seems he does not know where to submit the request. Maybe someone will help him. The article seems to be not bad. I think this could be a good motivation for a new author. AlinaGusewa (talk) 07:59, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article is submitted for review, someone will assess it shortly. The main task is to find out if it meets WP:NBOOK. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 08:54, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

10:41:54, 30 October 2018 review of submission by 109.67.17.252[edit]

I was informed by David.moreno72 that I cannot publish the article I edited since it is 'self promotion'. I find this incorrect since there are plenty of wikipedia pages about current artists/pianists that are currently performing internationally. For example there is a wikipedia article for Murray Perahia, Daniil Trifonov and Yaron Kohlberg. I most definitely fall into this category unquestionably. Must someone else post the article about me in order for it not to be 'self promotion'? Awaiting your reply and many thanks, Benjamin Goodman 109.67.17.252 (talk) 10:41, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which draft are you talking about? The IP address you are using have not submitted anything yet. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus 11:23, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No draft edited from that entire IP range, and it is not possible to guess at which of David.moreno72's reviews this refers to. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 12:41, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you are talking about User:BenjaminGoodman/sandbox/Benjamin Goodman. Writing an article about yourself is a colossally bad idea. See Wikipedia:Autobiography for a detailed discussion of why. If you're notable, a volunteer is bound to write a biography of you quite independently. That may not happen today, but why should it matter to you when it happens, unless you're trying to promote yourself? --Worldbruce (talk) 00:44, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

11:36:17, 30 October 2018 review of draft by Micha Jo[edit]


Hello. I submitted this article nearly 2 months ago. It was rejected once. Since then I have addressed all concerns and considerably improved the page. It seems to me that it is worthy of inclusion in our Encyclopaedia. My question is : Does the page now satisfy all criteria, or have I missed something ? Thank you for your answer. Best regards. Micha Jo (talk) 11:36, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Frayae That list is a great idea! I think you might declutter it a bit by removing English, as it could be taken for granted that reviewers here are all competent. Then consider moving it to a subpage here in the AFC project space. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 06:58, 1 November 2018 (UTC) [reply]

12:24:05, 30 October 2018 review of draft by Myshkin123[edit]


My article has now been declined several times even though I have complied with previous feedback and extensively cited from a variety of newspapers and scholarly journals. I continue to get this message: "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies."

Please advise? I believe this latest rejection must be an error.

12:42:40, 30 October 2018 review of submission by Yakshaver[edit]


I created an article and published it as Draft "Draft:Daniel Reynaud". How could I submit this for publishing? Please forgive the question, this is only my second article. I forgot what I did the last time...

THE CD IS OUT NOW I DONT KNOW HOW TO RESUBMIT FOR PUBLICATION 153.2.247.36 (talk) 15:31, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I submitted the page for you, and declined it again. Sources are not sufficent to show notability. Legacypac (talk) 15:58, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
