Hi whats wrong with my wiki page for Miles Woodward? I can't say to much about him because there is not alot of information about him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weezermanic94 (talkcontribs) 09:20, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Weezermanic, that's precisely the problem. To establish that someone is notable by Wikipedia's standards, we need significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Rokpool only mentions him in passing, and I don't think the other sources have the reputation for fact-checking and accuracy to be considered reliable. Maybe there are some newspaper articles about Woodward? Huon (talk) 09:56, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Do you know how long it is likely to be before my submission is reviewed...

Its been submitted for 5 days now and the last two attempts were replied to within 24 hours..

What is the normal length of time to expect a review to take place ?

Thank you

There is a backlog of several hundred articles awaiting review; the oldest are from July 9. Reviews within 24 hours are the exception, several days or a week are more common. Please be patient. Huon (talk) 13:19, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing was told regarding upload of a picture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aloak1 (talkcontribs) 14:40, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what your question is? If you would like to have a picture uploaded, please submit your request at Wikipedia:Files for upload. Thank you  :- ) Don 15:50, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The draft doesn't need an image as much as some reliable secondary sources such as newspaper articles or textbooks. Huon (talk) 15:57, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
