Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Enrique Godoy Sayán - need someone who reads Spanish

Done
I took a stab at reviewing this but all the references are in Spanish. It will take a long time for me to wade through those even with Google translate. Are there any Spanish-speaking reviewers who can give this a go? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 03:25, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish-speaker here, took a look and though a few of the refs are a bit iffy, there are plenty enough from serious sources that I gave it a Accept. Plus added a few refs I found on GoogleBooks, did some section merging, etc. So all good. MatthewVanitas (talk) 06:06, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Now_Interact

Hi, I recently submitted an article on a company that is not yet registered in Wikipedia (Now Interact) but the article was declined. having worked for organisations that are included in Wikipedia like Investis, I used the Now Interact's website and Swedish company house to gather information. I even modeled the article on company pages like LivePerson and LiveChat and Mediata Solutions to ensure it would meet Wikipedia approval (as these pages have obviously been approved). I tried to remain factual stating the history of the business and the investment structure, which I think are very important to the 1000s of people or organisations which will be searching for information on this organisation. As I used templates of existing pages I am totally unsure why the article was not approved. Please could you help me make adjustments or give me an idea of why it was different from the other pages I mentioned. Many thanks. Mike

The problem is basically the lack of independent, reliable sources. You have listed four sources: the company's own website - obviously not independent, the website of an investor in the company - not independent, the company's own linkedin page - again not independent and finally a listing on a directory website - all it shows is that the company exists. You need to prove that somebody who has absolutely no connection at all to the company has taken note of the company and written substantial information about it in a reliable publication. Short answer; look for articles in newspapers and business magazines (real articles written by journalists not PR fluff put out by the company itself). Compare the sources in your draft to the ones in the Investis article - it cites mainstream news and business publications. Even so the Investis article is far from a good example of what such article should look like. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:28, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chandola Lake

Done
My above Article has been rejected due to following reason This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms, that are designed to promote or show-off the subject.

Comment of the reviewer is as under - "Language is informal and conversational. Clean up and tightening of the language, reduce the number of sections and this will be a good stub article. The Teahouse can provide some guidance on finishing this".

This is my first article. I have tried to formalise the language, deleted not relevant matters and also included about five indepdent, reliable, public sources in the Article. Before re-submission, I request some experienced editor to review my Article and provide comments for improvements.Jayshukla2006 (talk) 08:25, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Overall it was pretty good, so I did a little cleanup and Approved it for you. Please note the cleanup I did for your future reference in your next articles. Also a few minor things for you to clarify in the article: did you mispell the name "Tajn Khan Nari Ali" or is that actually right? Also, is it "Khari Cut" or "Kharicut", or do the two spellings mean different things? Lastly, a few of your citations are unclear, so please note the tagging I placed on them asking for clarity. Overall solid work, and we hope to see more from you now that you have learned Wikipedia skills! MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:19, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your approval & excellent suggestions for improvement. I will definitely implement your suggestions in this Article and my next Articles.Jayshukla2006 (talk) 11:42, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bruce Ryan

I am having a very difficult time footnoting. Is there a tool? I have terrible formatting problems when I try to use the Cite.php extensions. HELP!.

I am having a terrible time using footnotes. When I use the HTML <ref>. . .</ref> {{reflist}} it fragments the page, stops at footnote 2 and repeates the footnotes over and over in the middle of the text. HELP!!! ArdenHathaway 15:11, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

The problem is you were using that code in the wrong places; you were ending individual footnotes with </references> which is not how it's done. For individual footnotes you want code like this: <ref>John Smith. ''History of Apples''. 1922</ref>. And then at the very end in the "References" section you put this code, just once per page: {{reflist}}. I've fixed this for you.

Separate issue: the way you're formatting your long lists doesn't display clean. I fixed a few of them for you, so please make the others formatted the same way all down the list. There are separate content issues to work on in this article, but let's get the format cleaned up first since that's easy. MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:30, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of User:Vaaltje/Randall schmit

Done

Hi Wikipedia Editors! I inadvertently created this page with lower case for the artist's last name. "schmit" should read "Schmit". I cannot find the way to correct the case on the surname title of this page. Can you please correct this for me and/or show me how I can fix this. Thanks so much,
