Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Vu Digital

Clicked "save" and the article is up, with footnotes, but I don't see the sub-head "References" or the list of 10 footnotes -- is this automatically generated, or do I have to go back and edit the page -- and if so, how do I get in to edit? Thanks! Jim Weed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James Weed (talk • contribs) 14:33, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed that for you in this edit. Note that the page is not submitted for review until you click the "click here" in the box near the top. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 15:01, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chicago Department of Public Health

Hi, not sure why Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chicago Department of Public Health was declined because reliable sources could not be verified. It's similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Department_of_Health_and_Mental_Hygiene and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_department_of_public_health. In fact I used the same templates. I work at the Chicago Department of Public Health (fingerprinted and background checked and appointed). I used the city website as the page - having someone else cite the website doesn't improve validity. The website is the city's only authorized website. The logo I uploaded was made by us. I am authorized to use it. Not sure what else I can do to convince you that this is a real government department. It's also world renown in public health for it's programs, innovations and accreditation which I planned to add as I find the time. I also find it ironic and can use the exact same argument that APerson used, who doesn't have a real identity associated with their username, including a valid photo, name, background and verifiable work history offline. It has to work both ways for this to work at all. Thank you. Reedmonseur (talk) 17:44, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the article, it only has a total of two non-independent sources. However, it seems to me that notability is good, so there really is no reason not to create the article at this point. Article was created. APerson (talk!) 19:15, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you haven't already, you can see writing better articles for an overview of what a good article is like in terms of content and layout. I also recommend the cheatsheet for information on basic formatting. Anon126 (talk - contribs) 22:16, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Draft:Devyani Khobragade

This is with reference to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Devyani Khobragade. The contribution has been declined due to "Reads like bullet point list instead of flowing prose." I would like to respectfully point out that the article is about a notable subject currently in the news, has two dozen citations from leading news sources, and is well laid out. I believe that once the article is approved for inclusion in the Wikipedia, its prose can be improved by contributors. I would like to respectfully request that the article be approved.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/diaosi

Hi,dear wiki,

I'm a student from UMASS. Editing an article on wiki is an important project of my graduate course "Popular Culture and Technology". I am supposed to hand in a report of the viewing history of my article due the beginning of April. If I failed to publish the article on wiki as soon as possible, I wouldn't be able to gather the data and comments which are prerequisite of my preparation for the final project.

I know all you guys are volunteers with heavy load of other important jobs. But could you please kindly considerate my request for getting my paper reviewed sooner? I'm a new comer from China. English is my second language, please forgive me if I do not make myself clear and please don't hesitate to contact me if there is any question.

Looking forward to your reply!

Yours,
