Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/La Jolla Symphony and Chorus

Hi, I was wondering if you could explain exactly why the Wikipedia page for the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus was rejected and if it is possible to revise it in a way that would make it acceptable. Thank you. Cesander (talk) 00:43, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi can you check you've read the standard comments on the page itself, and checked the policies it links to? Rankersbo (talk) 10:06, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/National Astronomy Week

Hi,

While I've edited Wikipedia before, I've never created an article, so I would appreciate some assistance.

I've created this new article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/National_Astronomy_Week

I've tried to submit it for review, but at the top it still says "Article not currently submitted for review". (I've seen notes saying this will be cleaned out, but it's now about 10 hours since the article was submitted, and the message is still there.)

At the bottom it says, however, "Review waiting. This may take several weeks, even months. The Articles for creation process is severely backlogged. Please be patient. There are 2201 submissions waiting for review." This appears twice, presumably becuase I clicked the "Review" link twice on seeing the message at the top.

Firstly - is this article in the review queue or not?

Secondly, this article is about an important astronomical event in UK in March. I've submitted it on behalf of the Organising Committee. Is there any way we can get this reviewed and live in a reasonable time?

Yours sincerely,

Dr W B J Blake.

Yes the article is in the queue- if it has a yellow template on it it's in the queue. It may take some time but it will be dealt with in the next few weeks, not months. The clean-up is done by a human at the moment, so it does take a while, but someone is working on automating the process.

I haven't looked that closely, but your article actually looks quite good for a first attempt, especially given you appear to have a conflict of interest. Bear in mind wikipedia policies on promotion , and being a directory asking for things to be expidited may be counter productive.

We are here specifically to talk about the mechanics of the AfC process, there is also a teahouse where people are there to generally guide in the process of writing articles. Rankersbo (talk) 09:19, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - that's very helpful. I'll try to get some additional reviews done as soon as possible to ensure accuracy and objectivity.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Science Behind Jesus Christ: The Scientific Explanation of God

HELP!!! I read your instructions for creating new article, I went through the article wizard. I copied and pasted the article that I wanted to publish, some text in the article was highlighted in blue. I'm not sure how to format or correct any issues as I am not sure what the blue highlight means. Also I am not sure if I am citing references correctly. Please advise. I realize you are a volunteer and your time is valuable, so I want to say thank you in advance for your help; I am grateful for it.

Add the code {{subst:submit}} (including the curly braces) to the top of your article when editing it, and after saving, a yellow "submit" box should appear, indicating it is queued for review. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 18:20, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You should click the resubmit button on the pink decline box- but you had removed the decline box by mistake. I have submitted the article for you and it's now awaiting review. Rankersbo (talk) 12:03, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Food Structure Journal 1982-1993

I am the author of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Food_Structure_Journal_1982-1993. I submitted the text for a review already on November 12. Until today I was not registered but then I was unable to upload an image of the journal cover (Food Structure Vol. 12, No. 1.). Consequently I have registered but I cannot satisfy the conditions of reviewing my text 10 more times. Your help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ Boxwood Festivals and Workshops

Hello, I was wondering if the article at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ Boxwood Festivals and Workshops would be acceptable if I removed the references which refer back to the festival's pages (except perhaps the first as it refer's to a quote for their mission), the Six Water Grog page, and the Welcome to Lunenburg page as it is no longer available. I am also thinking hat the Best of Boxwood 2013 article reference should also be removed. This would leave 5 references outside of the festival page(s). I am trying to see if there are references from secondary sources as well and would augment with them if I come across any but I am not having luck finding these. Could you please advise?

Also, there is apparently a space at the beginning of the page name. Ho would I fix this?
