Review of Wikipedia talk:Jim Bopalouie/JB Basses

Hello, I'm sorry I don't want to take up too much of your time but I am wondering why my submission was denied? This is my first time and I'm still trying to work out how this is all done.

Thank you for your time.JB Basses (talk) 06:57, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to the log, the submission was declined because it was blank. Did you forget to press "Save" when creating the article? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 07:56, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Exit (rapper)

Hi there, I would like to know how I can go about creating an article for a South African hip hop artist Exit. We started our own record label and we working on his debut EP. Four tracks have been recorded and mastered already for this EP? Thanks,ThokozaniMiya (talk) 09:41, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have a conflict of interest. I would probably wait until Exit becomes notable enough that somebody else independently writes an article about him. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:48, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tiffany "Hammer Girl" Patterson

Editors,

I am having difficulty with footnotes. I believe I've used the correct format but the sources don't appear in the references at the bottom of the page.

Please check the section that says, "Review waiting". I would like to know if you can offer suggestions. Also, if there is something else that strikes your eye for improvement, please let me know.

Here is the page in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Hammer_Girl#cite_note-2

Thanks for you help, Popmusicwiki (talk) 10:51, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Popmusicwiki. Your footnotes look correctly formatted to me. However, I am not sure that using photo or video of a person when they are part of a performance, is going to work in terms of proving that person's notability by Wikipedia's standards. It would be better to focus more on reliable sources that focus on her career and work in detail. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 16:02, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Perry McGee (Professional Tracking Advisor)

Hi,

I understand my initial two submissions and why they were declined but since then I have learned create correct citations so I am a little confused as to why the last submission was declined.

Could someone tell me what is wrong with the final submission and I will correct.

The last comments were based around the citations but I have worked on these and understand I was doing it completely wrong.

Thanks for all your help.

Jamie, before we get to the other issues, please also note you have at least three different copies of your article pasted onto the page. Please delete all the extra ones, there's no need to preserve extra copies since you can always use the page's "History" tab to see all past versions. MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:55, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the "History" tab, and your article has not been declined since 18 September, which was when I gave the advice about footnoting, which you then fixed throughout the article. So nobody has Declined your article since that point three weeks ago, it just hasn't been reviewed in its current form because we have a big backload of drafts we're reviewing currently, so the process is going a little slow this month.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mind matters online

Hello, My name is Ehsan Ahmedzai, you can say I am new at this article posting, recently I submitted an article which was declined, I was just curious to see what will happen then and after that. I would love to write an article on some genuine topics and publish it here. Can you please guide me a little what kind of topics can I write on and successfully submit it as well.

Hi Ehsan. If no further edits are made to your submission for six months, then a bot will automatically flag it for deletion.

I am not really sure what are the best topics to create new articles on. Perhaps others have some ideas? Arthur goes shopping (talk) 15:59, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
