Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lyceum of the Philippines University-Laguna

Okay. This is quite embarrassing. I already revised it many times, but still declined. I already deleted sections in this article that I believe to be useless. I also re-edited it for the sake of the reviewers who reviewed it already. And I believe that I already accomplish all their demands, like putting some independent sources and removing promotional words in it.

I'm waiting for it's approval since last month. Hoping it'll be accepted now.

Thank you very much. Have a good day! FilLagCal (talk) 10:57, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to hear about your embarrassment. Your submission is currently waiting for review.

Why does your submission not have any independent sources? I read WP:42 and that page suggests to me that, because your submission does not have any independent sources, your submission will probably be declined again. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 04:43, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Mark L Carman

I provided a reference to substantiate the facts of my article. Do I withdraw the request for review? How do I 'launch; the article and remove it from the "sand box? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MCMUniversal (talk • contribs) 14:46, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok first, I'm afraid you didn't insert the reference correctly. Take a look at WP:REFBEGIN for help with reference formatting. Second, one reference to allmusic isn't enough for the article, try to find more. Look at WP:IRS to figure out what's good. Howicus (talk) 16:31, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I added a reference. Did I do it correctly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MCMUniversal (talk • contribs) 14:57, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, but I've formatted it for you. Click 'Edit' at the top of the page to see what I changed. You can also take the tutorial on adding references. You can find it at: Help:Introduction to referencing. Pol430 talk to me 16:37, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Richard Divall Status

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Richard Divall

Hello,

Over a week ago I submitted an Article about Australian conductor, Richard Divall. I can't understand the current status of my submission. Could you please advise.

All best wishes

The page says that the article was deleted under speedy deletion criteria (G7: One author who has requested deletion or blanked the page). Perhaps you blanked the page in error? If you want it back, I suggest the deletion review noticeboard here Howicus (talk) 16:39, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission was deleted; apparently because you requested its deletion, either explicitly or by blanking the page. If you want it back, simply make a request at WP:REFUND, deletion review is not necessary. Pol430 talk to me 16:40, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Link comes out as a blank

Thank you for very quickly reviewing the article I sent last night. This is the second time I have used the link insert to try to get the material to you and again it comes as a "blank" to you. The title of the submission was Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Cantiague The submitted link was [[1]]. I will rewrite the article in its entirety if I have to in the sandbox if that is what it takes to send it. The site appears in the internet as "Isaac William Penner" specifically and in other American labor sites.````Cantiague — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cantiague (talk • contribs) 16:25, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to be referring to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Isaac Penner. I'm not sure what you mean by "I have used the link insert to try to get the material to you and again it comes as a "blank" to you." If you are under the impression it is possible to 'import' a webpage into Wikipedia then I'm afraid you are mistaken. Indded to do so, in this case, would be a copyright violation. If you would like to write an encyclopedia article about Isaac Penner then you will need to produce something in your own words, not copy text from elsewhere on the internet.

Review of User:Johnny Blaive/sandbox

I believe I have followed all the steps in the tutorial appropriately. Is my article now being considered for review (now that I have saved it in my sandbox area (title name: Review of User:Johnny Blaive/sandbox —Preceding undated comment added 17:06, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

That submission has been declined. Please read WP:42 about the need for reliable sources, and what a reliable source is. It's very likely that if the book hasn't even been finished yet, let alone published, Wikipedia does not need an article about it yet. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 17:17, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
