[edit]Review of User:Laurie1956/sandbox
[edit]I have an article that I just submitted and I didn't realize it was in the "History category" it should be in news articles or current events, how exactly do I move it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurie1956 (talk • contribs) 03:01, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- Don't worry about categories these will be added if and when the article is approved. The article currently reads like a piece iin a magazine or newspaper, rather than an encyclopaedia article - it needs a lead section, to be more emotionally neutral and to have more references than the single local news story. An encyclopedia article should be a neutral presentation of the facts, any emotional response should come from the way the reader responds and identifies with the facts themselves, not the way it is written. News outlets tend to try and engage their readerships with the story with the way they present it. Rankersbo (talk) 07:52, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
I submitted this article on 5th November. I realise there is a backlog for reviewing submissions, but I am concerned because at the top of my article it says "this article has not been submitted" yet at the bottom it says awaiting review. Please let me know that it is in review and any idea of when it will go live. I believe the article is well written and thoroughly referenced, but I guess all authors believe this! Thank you.

- It was in the queue, and still is. I've tidied it up so it's less confusing. Rankersbo (talk) 11:51, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
HEllo team of Wikipedia!
I am trying to submit an article but I can not go through the uploading picture process. On the advanced menu it says upload a picture and gives me code. I put the name of the file there but on the review it doesn't show the picute. How can I deal with this, it is an important article for a very popular internet scam and I want to warn the people. Plese help me! I also want to know how to put references, I tried using the button but it said "error" Thanks!OreWoKitasu (talk) 12:24, 22 November 2013 (UTC)OreWoKitasu (talk) 12:18, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Omegawave
[edit]Hello,
I'm trying to submit an article for creation (Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Omegawave) and clicked submit.
At the top of the page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Omegawave#Omegawave) in the blue box I'm informed that: "Article not currently submitted for review. This is a draft Articles for creation submission. It is not currently pending review.....etc."
And then at the bottom of the page in the yellow box I'm told that: "Review waiting. This may take over 3 weeks...etc."
Can you please tell me if the article is submitted or not, the messages contradict each other.
Thanks.
On a related note, I have probably submitted the Talk page as an Article for creation (Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Omegawave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Omegawave) as well as a proper article for creation.
Sorry about that. I only want to submit the Article for creation, and not the Talk page
Thanks for your help.
Peter

I am trying to submit a page for Wiki and I am having issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bia31Star (talk • contribs) 13:52, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I submitted an article about a company a few weeks back here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Skimlinks and it was deleted without any notice or feedback. I'm a bit frustrated because though I've edited Wikipedia in the past, this was the first article I created which made this particularly discouraging. I would have appreciated an explanation and tips on how to make it better - I understand there's a backlog but an explanatory template of some kind would have been nice. I was planning on editing and resubmitting it should the submission be denied but now there's nothing left.
There seems to be a note on there about how it was "Unambiguous advertising or promotion" and I'd very much like to know what gave the reviewer that impression? I tried to be as neutral as possible in my description of the company and included many references to well known publications such as TechCrunch, the Drum, Management Today, the Guardian, etc. It's one of the biggest startups in the UK so I think it passes notability criteria. Similar sized companies like Mind Candy and US competitor VigLink have Wikipedia pages and I tried to emulate the tone in those as much as possible. Would it be possible to get an explanation and can I get the content back so that I can re-work it to match Wikipedia's criteria? Thanks for your help!

- It's not normal procedure round here to delete without notification, on advertising grounds. If we think something is promotional we usually decline with a message to that effect, and give you a chance to clean it up. Even if there is a problem such as too much copy-and-paste, or abusive content we would leave a note on your page. Rankersbo (talk) 14:52, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- That was the impression I was under which is why this was all the more unpleasant! I knew writing an article about a company had risks in terms of sounding like promotional material which is exactly why I did it through the wizard. I was really counting on getting some constructive feedback. I've commented on the reviewer's talk page to let him/her know. Is there any way the page can be reinstated? Juniper4589 (talk) 15:05, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- I moved it into the article space. I cleared out more than 100 articles from the "over 4 weeks old" category yesterday, and this one looked like advertising to me (still does, a bit) but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and let it go through AfD instead of being speedied.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Cleveland Institution of Engineers
Hi there,
I received a notification that the submission for the above page has been reviewed by DragonflySixtyseven. However, when I go to the page or my talk page I don't see anything back about the review and if it was accepted or not. Also, I can't seem to find anything about DragonFlySixtyseven.
As the article is not in the article space yet, I presume it has not been accepted, but how do I find out what the outcome of the review was and why it was not accepted (yet)?

- I can't find any evidence that anyone has reviewed it. It is still in the queue to be reviewed. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 20:27, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
Is this article up for review? It says not currently submitted at the top and up for review at the bottom? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Group3socialinquality (talk • contribs) 19:49, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- @Group3socialinquality Did you go here and click Save page? --NeilN talk to me 20:02, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- It is correctly submitted for review. I have cleaned up the redundant confusing template. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:27, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
- It has been reviewed and accepted. The article is now at Transgender inequality. Congratulations! Please continue to improve it, there are several tags at the top of the page pointing out various issues that need attention. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:10, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program
[edit]Hello -
I am curious as to what review stage my article is in - and how I will be notified when it's completed. The article is over the VB-MAPP.
Kind regards,
