Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Niall Sheehy (actor)

Why was my submission declined? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Niall_Sheehy_(actor) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karin Phan (talk • contribs) 01:41, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It has been accepted and is now at Niall Sheehy (actor). There are a few tags on it indicating problems that need to be fixed, in addition I noticed the article refers to various people (not only Sheehy) by their first names, please change those instances to surnames - once a person has been first mentioned by their full name (with a wikilink where relevant) you should use only the surname when referring to them again. So the corrections should be; "~~Niall~~ Sheehy did this..." and "~~Andrew~~ Lloyd Webber said that...". Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:18, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the old content it is all in the history if it is wanted. The object is to include only what can be supported by proper citations. DES ^(talk) 06:42, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear User:DESiegel I can understand. I am Amna Nasir Jamal and in freelance writing. You can google my name.Actually I had once wiki account which I losted means I dont remember anymore my ID and email [got hacked]. I can understand but I found this ID 'whitepearl' easy to remember so I did. So should I re-launch ID and re-submit this autobiography? Kindly guide me. I am obliged that you are assisting me a lot. --Whitepearl1 (talk) 06:28, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Whitepearl1, there is no need to re-launch the draft. You can go through changing user names or, since you have only a few edits, you can simply create a new account and stop using User:Whitepearl1. But your new account should be clearly just for your use, and not look like a corporate account. It need not include your legal name, unless you wish it to do so.

The most important things for the draft Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Malik Muhammad Jahangir is to add citations to reliable independent sources for all the major content, with enough discussion of Jahangir to establish notability (see WP:BIO and WP:GNG), , and to make sure that the whole article has a neutral viewpoint, describing things factually, and not including any opinions or value judgements unless they are clearly attributed to someone's published words, with a a proper citation that confirms that attribution.

And by the way, please don't create a new section if you are posting on the same topic, simply add to the existing section. I have now combined the various sections on this topic, Whitepearl1. DES ^(talk) 06:45, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
