September 7

[edit]

Hi,

I am a little bit confused - I have submitted the article about Mayor Kelvin Coe for review. On the top of the page it says that the article is not submitted. At the bottom it says that it is pending review. Which one is it?

Thanks,

The one at the bottom is correct. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 00:27, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is important to both WikiProject South Dakota and WikiProject Ghost towns. I created it due to the South Dakota section of this page becoming too large to remain on the page with the addition of even more ghost towns; this is standard in WikiProject Ghost Towns. I intended to add my article directly to Wikipedia, but I didn't realize that the "submit" button on the drafting page would instead place it under AfC rather than submit it directly to Wikipedia. I would like to now create the article directly under its name. How do I delete my request? Thank you in advance! TCMemoire (talk) 03:05, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You can the move function to move the article into mainspace (which is preferred over copy/pasting the article over). The option should be under the upside down triangle next to the search box. LionMans Account (talk) 04:50, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I kind of disagree with the last given reason for decline of this submission. It says that "the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia", however, I cannot find the article Hinduism to even remotely discuss the subject of this article. The article discusses the relations between Jainism and Hinduism. This is on the same lines the articles such as Buddhism and Hinduism, Buddhism and Eastern religions, Christianity and Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism, Islamic–Jewish relations and the like exists. I request more help in this regard. Thanks, Rahul Jain (talk) 13:18, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There probably is merit in having an article on this topic, and the article certainly has potential given the sources. I'd prefer for somebody who has an expertise in this topic to comment though, and the best thing you can probably do is look on the Hinduism-related topics noticeboard and see if anyone there can help.

Hello thanks for review mine page. Why was it reject? Mine info came form http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films. If you are wondering. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.167.114 (talk) 18:51, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was rejected firstly because the article List of highest-grossing films already exists - multiple articles about a single subject are never allowed.
Secondly your draft is, to be frank, a very badly misformatted mess and the information is presented without any context or explanation of significance.
The existing article is well formatted and includes extensive discussion of the context of the information. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:21, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
