07:36:15, 1 August 2019 review of submission by Spawnspawn[edit]

Double standards. The current person has more reasons to have article in Wikipedia than this person https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_McMorrow Spawnspawn (talk) 07:36, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Spawnspawn: As the reviewer (@Zxcvbnm:) noted, the sources have to be about the subject among other things to establish notability. Just because a game is notable, does not mean the game's author is (and vice versa).
The article you linked has been tagged for notability issues. Unless additional sources are provided, it will likely not survive a deletion discussion. The difference is that no one has reviewed it yet, because it was created directly. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 09:33, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

15:00:41, 1 August 2019 review of submission by MaskedSinger[edit]


Has already been declined 3 times due to promotional language although to be clear, it wasn't until the 3rd time that it was explained to me what was actually promotional about the page. Updated it accordingly and would now like to resubmit it.

16:26:47, 1 August 2019 review of draft by MisMurphy[edit]


I have been waiting for a review for 3+ weeks and the number of submissions is getting longer rather than shorter. Anything I have done wrong or need to do in order to be reviewed within the 8 week estimate?

MisMurphy (talk) 16:26, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MisMurphy: - I'm afraid the key bit is that it's 8+ weeks - currently the longest ones in the queue are up to 14 weeks. We've had an extremely high rate of submissions for the last couple of months, and with roughly the same amount of reviewers the backlog obviously grows. You've not done anything wrong, but I can't guarantee a review within 8 weeks. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:11, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

16:54:25, 1 August 2019 review of draft by Stephanierr86[edit]


I am seeking some help in making a small change in creating this article. I made a mistake when creating the title and I don't know how to change it. I would like it to simply read "Terri Maxwell" instead of what's there. Can you show me how to correct this or direct me how to get it changed? Thank you.

@Stephanierr86: I moved it to Draft:Terri Maxwell for you. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 17:04, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

18:33:09, 1 August 2019 review of draft by Mountain9[edit]


I can't find a save button for my sandbox and I inadvertently pressed the publish button. I'm sorry I did that. Please can you tell me how to save a draft in my sandbox prior to submitting it for review? Many thanks Mountain9 Mountain9 (talk) 18:33, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Mountain9. "Publish changes" is the button that saves a page, any page. It doesn't submit a draft for review. The button that does that is typically blue, and labelled "Submit your draft for review!" or "Resubmit", if the most recent submission of the draft has been declined. If you want to save work in progress without agreeing to Wikipedia's Terms of Use, licensing your contribution, and publishing it where other people can see and edit it, you must save it somewhere off-wiki, such as on your home computer. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:23, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

20:12:33, 1 August 2019 review of draft by BlakeB93[edit]

I have been waiting more than 8 weeks now for the article to be done. When is it going to be reviewed? Can you assist me in getting it done?

BlakeB93 (talk) 20:12, 1 August 2019 (UTC) @BlakeB93: it was declined for being in a tone not appropriate for an encyclopedia like Wikipedia by @Theroadislong:. Unbekannter z34-56r-ghf-aq2-d0r (talk) 05:45, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
