Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Fundación Hogar Nueva Granada

Wikipedia talk:Articles for Creation/Fundacion Hogar Nueva Granada I would like to work on this more tommorrow and quite for tonight- how can i just save as draft? Thank you --LilliK 02:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by LilliKass (talk • contribs)

Eckstein, Karl again

Hi! I've added some new references and removed others (## 6-11). Hope they will meat the requirements and my article will be published at last)) Please, check it again if it's possible. Best regards))(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Eckstein,_Karl)Lerysik (talk) 12:26, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article seems to be 95% unsourced. Its one item of news coverage is an interview with Eckstein (as acting honorary consul), which means the information is coming from his mouth. To be eligible for a Wikipedia article, people normally need in-depth news coverage in multiple sources, to verify they are notable. If you can add additional news sources, before an editor reviews the draft article, you'll have a chance of success. Sionk (talk) 13:51, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've added some more sources. And do you think it would be better to remove this interview? Please, check it again and let it be published at last. Thanks)) Lerysik (talk) 12:09, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

moving from sandbox to submitting to wiki

I cannot find how the article I created can be moved from my sandbox to be an actual article on wikipedia

Nickolasmann (talk) 11:12, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved your submission to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Phytos Poetis. When you think you are ready to submit the article for review, please add

{{subst:submit}}

to the top of your article. Cheers, Nolelover ^Talk^·^Contribs 14:13, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/building lot

Hello!

I wrote the article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/building lot and submitted it, but it got declined because it wasn't adequately supported by reliable, independent sources. So I looked for such sources and re-submitted it - now it was declined again on the grounds that it's "not written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article". But I don't really get what's wrong with it. I don't see the overall style as non-formal... Maybe someone can tell me what should be changed?

Kind regards, Loxodonta cyclotis (talk) 15:12, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, "formal tone" usually refers to sections or sentences that, intentionally or otherwise, don't appear neutral and sometimes are even promotional. For example, phrases like "OroVerde actively initiates, supports and promotes projects and realizes them in cooperation with local partner organisations" and "OroVerde supports and promotes national and international projects to preserve and protect the tropical forests" aren't supported by references and come off as the sort of things that we would find in a brochure published by the company.

Thank you! :) As I'm not a native speaker, it's not that clear for me which phrases don't appear neutral, but I shortened the article, tried to make it more formal and added some more references. Maybe you can have a look at it and tell me if it should be o.k. now? Loxodonta cyclotis (talk) 00:11, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing an article

When reviewing an article by Reviewing instructions and after accepting it , does it take some time to move the article from Articles for creation to Article space??? And what about after declining? Umerali2204 (talk) 20:17, 6 March 2012 (UTC) comment added by Umerali2204 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Using the AfC helper script it automatically assists in clean up and moving the article to the main space under the chosen title. This process has no lag time and a simple page reload will display the approved article. After declining it stays in the AfC section so that the user can update and resubmit it; the article is not deleted. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 22:03, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure It appears that User:Umerali2204 thought he was moving a proposal into article space. Instead, he moved WT:Articles for creation/ Brian Cage to WP:Articles for creation/ Brian Cage and notified User:Krjohn81 that his article had been created. It looks to me as if an admin is needed to move the proposal back to its correct location, and then the user's talk page should be updated to match (or the proposal actually could be moved to article space, but it doesn't look nearly ready to me).

This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. Please consider asking this question at the Wikipedia:Reference desk. They specialize in knowledge questions and will try to answer any question in the universe (except how to use Wikipedia, since that is what this Help Desk is for). Just follow the link, select the relevant section, and ask away. You could always try searching Wikipedia for an article related to the topic you want to know more about. I hope this helps.
