You created a draft article in your sandbox and submitted it for review. When this was not accepted you created a new article in mainspace. This is unacceptable and the article has now been moved back to Draft. Please do not do this again or it may be considered tendentious editing. Thank you. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 19:16, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that this was not the case and I find the tone of your comment extremely irritating. I spought advice and in the meantime tried to resubmit the article. If you check timings, you will discover as much.I understood that the first rule of wikipedia was politeness and am assumption of goodwill. You have neither. I welcome an apology and suggestions about how, given the scope and length of the article, it can be made appropriate for a wikipedia entry. This negative editing and the unhelpful information provided at source simply encourages this level of bullying that you have demonstrated so ably. I await your response.

OK let us be very clear then. You created the article in your sandbox at 21.43 on 31st July and submited it for review at 19.01 on 1st August. It was declined at 20.04 on 1st August and at 20.07 - three minutes later- you create the article in mainspace. I belive that my original analysis was correct. For what little it is worth, I do not believe that the subject is notable and it is very clearly promotional, strongly advocating a particular political stand-point. It is not balanced and the sources do not meet the requirements of Wikipedia. If I had reviewed it, I would also have rejected it. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 19:33, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to your Articles for Creation Help Desk question

Hello, Timewilson61! I'm NewYorkActuary. I have replied to your question about a submission at the WikiProject Articles for Creation Help Desk. NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:51, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. Since writing to you and before receiving your reply, I submitted the article directly and was savaged by Velella who seemed to think I was circumventing the system. In repsponse to my protest at her very aggressive tone, she countered that my article had been rejected 3 minutes before I "re-submitted" it suggesting a degree of dexterity that I think my general naivity negates. Thank you therefore for your kind and considerate choice of language and for your help. I fail to see, however, how my article was reviewed so speedily given your assessment.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Aidan Powlesland (August 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Velella was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Very unclear what he is supposed to be notable for. Much of the earlier text about asteroid mining has been removed and all that seems to indicate notability is a failed attempt to be elected as an MP. Unsuccessful candidates for parliament are rarely notable and this is not an exception.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
