[edit]Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Gogito
[edit]I cant access my draft or edit it. Plse help — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.18.145.144 (talk) 15:25, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- You can access it via the link in this secion's heading: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Gogito. You can edit it via the "Edit source" tab at the top of the page. Currently it doesn't have any content beyond the name, though. Huon (talk) 15:47, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Question regarding "Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Joe Ellis White" - I have one reference which I received an email from the author granting permission to use the document. How do I attached the information to the project?

- WP:Requesting copyright permission if you want to copy/paste the information here. If you simply want to use it as a reference, just make sure to note where it was previously published (even if not online). After looking at the article, the biggest problem is every references in there is a link to a press release, which wouldn't meet WP:RS here. LionMans Account (talk) 21:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Brookdale Entertainment Group
[edit]Brookdale Entertainment Group has absorbed Pittmobile Entertainment, DPK, Idnyc derf music and is the new parent company with Fred Pittman as President and CEO — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fred pittman (talk • contribs) 17:59, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- First you need to start an article. However, I doubt an article on either company would last long in mainspace here. I can't find any information on either company. LionMans Account (talk) 21:33, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello Wikipedia,
I had recently submitted a creation page under the name of Julio Pacheco. I received an update saying my creation was declined. i was not provided any reason for the article being declined. I would like to know as to why it was declined? Kindly advice as to how I can improve the article so that it can be approved for submission ? Thank you---- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hipostila33 (talk • contribs) 19:18, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- That submission is currently waiting to be reviewed. I cannot see any evidence that it has ever been declined. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:23, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Guidance on tech and text? Am itching to remove AK's "decline" banner (or have it removed) because it's now flying over a fully rewritten draft: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/David G. Benner. (The decline notation is still registered in "Categories" at bottom, for honest history.) I didn't know how to reclassify/rename the piece via Resubmit button or Wizard process, so went low-tech: cut my original text dd 29 June and pasted into place a new August draft under the existing heading. Since then have been fiddling with detail day by day until the good DGG can advise on how to make it cleaner and sturdier. Have already replied to a note on his talk page. This is okay? I should just wait? On an earlier article I waited months when I hadn't properly posted the text in the first place -- so, this worried query. JaneFaber (talk) 21:12, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- Right now, I would say its okay. If you want another opinion, click on the submit button in the decline template to put it up for review. If you're confident, and since you're auto-confirmed, you can move it to mainspace yourself. LionMans Account (talk) 21:32, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- Please do not remove previous review templates - they are very useful things: they contain advice and links to other useful information, for reviewers they provide a track record of the review history, what issues have been raised, adrressed and which still need attention. It also contains the button for correctly resubmitting. These pink boxes are not an "indictment or accusation of inferiority", please don't think of it in that way - it's actually the record of the progress and improvement of the draft. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:38, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
- Good to know, thanks. I'll leave any templates where they are. Realized there were links on the template to no-cost (subscription-free) reference sites. Nice. Now will trust that the template, etc., will be tidied away (by someone) so all will look presentable in public whenever a reviewer says the article is ready for mainspace. Probably best if I don't ever experiment with WP codings (not even moving something to mainspace myself), though I like formatting and copyediting the texts and references. For this Benner article, should I click Resubmit and stay tuned? JaneFaber (talk) 06:26, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
