Review of submission by FloLau123 (contribs•talk)

Regarding the submitted page titling as "Poman Lo", will appreciate to advise the reason for declining the relevant submission. It will be grateful to share the tips on how to pass the submission review. Thks a lot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FloLau123 (talk • contribs) 02:56, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello FloLau123. Your (Draft:Poman Lo) was declined for a lack of inline citations. These are important for biographies of living. people. I have now formatted your references as inline citations. However, before re-submitting, I suggest you find further press coverage of Ms. Lo. I suspect she would met our criteria for inclusion if you can find further independent sources. The one you already have, a lengthy article about her in the The Standard (Hong Kong), is a good start. Look for more like this. Also a reference for the fact that the children's series she devised and produced has won an award. Note that while it is preferable to have references in English, you can also use ones from the Chinese language press if necessary. Hope that helps, Voceditenore (talk) 07:07, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of submission by 69.171.187.22 (contribs•talk)

Could someone take this information for me and write an article on it in order for a wiki page to come into being later? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4471193/?mode=desktop&ref_=m_ft_dsk — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.187.22 (talk) 05:33, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello 69.171.187.22. This is a help desk for editors who are working on drafts. This is not the place to request that someone write an article for you. If you wish to request that, please go to Wikipedia:Requested articles. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 06:31, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regaining use of Ambrosia10/sandbox after a redirect from there to Draft:Charlotte Cortlandt Ellis after draft has been accepted.

I was drafting my first article for Wikipedia in my sandbox and submitted it for review. I wasn't surprised that the reviewer declined to accept the article but he/she instead redirected the draft article from my sandbox into a Draft:Charlotte Cortlandt Ellis page. After some work my first article was accepted today but I am unsure now how to get the use of my sandbox back in order to plan my second article. I know there is probably an easy fix I'm just such a novice at this that I'm not sure what it is. Could you help?Ambrosia10 (talk) 05:41, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ambrosia10. I've removed the redirect from your sandbox. You can go ahead and use it for your next draft. In future, you can do that yourself for any pages in your own user space. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 06:13, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of submission by Chow Sang Sang (contribs•talk)

Hello! This is Chow Sang Sang. Noted that my article is not accepted. Could you explain why it's not accepted? And could you give me specific examples or point out some lines in my article which are not accepted, for my easy understanding and I can improve it as soon as I can. Thanks very much!

Unfortunately not, you have asked this question a little too late. The article was declined at the beginning of December last year, and as you hadn't done anything about it in over six months it was assumed you had lost interest in developing it the article was deleted. If you do want to continue working on this article, please follow the instructions on your talk page for recovering the deleted page.

Please be aware before continuing that writing about yourself is strongly discouraged. Rankersbo (talk) 08:12, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Draft:Tom De Beuckelaer

Dear reader,

I have a question regarding my submission of the article on Tom de Beuckelaer. Draft:Tom De Beuckelaer

My submission got declined, because the references do not adequately evidence the notability. However, six independent references of different countries are used to support the notability of this article. Not many articels are supported by references of so many countries. In my opinion, significant evidence has been provided to support that this article is worthy of inclusion. Therefore, I would like the submmission to be reconsidered. In the case it is still not accepted, I would appreciate more thorough feedback.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Scott McDonald

Greetings. I would appreciate any help in improving the article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Scott McDonald. I have received helpful feedback along the way and have done my best to follow the sage advice and provide accurate sourcing. Unfortunately, the article was rejected, with feedback saying "Public relations mentions and internal industry mentions do not show notability."

At this point, I do have to admit I am a bit confused. I have sources in this article from BusinessWeek,the NY Times and Wharton School of Business among other notable and independent sources. Sources referred to as "internal industry mentions," are actually citations from independent B2B publications.

As this was my first attempt at submitting an article, I had originally borrowed sourcing ideas from an existing page for a person in a similar role as Scott: the CEO of the Boston Consulting Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Lesser. Rich Lesser's references include links to a press release, his bio on BCG's site and his LinkedIn account. After my first round of feedback, I cleaned out similar references for Scott. Would it help to re-include them? Just want to make sure I am following proper procedures. I do feel the article in it's current state does meet the standards of notability as posted on Wikipedia, and surpasses the standards set by pages already approved. Thanks much in advance for your review. (Kingman13 (talk) 12:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Review of submission by SlatersGarage (contribs•talk)

Hi, all... My recent submission Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dean M. Brenner was rejected a couple weeks ago, and I was hoping for some clarification as to why... The feedback I received had said something about "submissions for a fictional character," which didn't make sense to me, as the subject of my submission is, in fact, real... Any additional input you can provide that would help me edit my submission into acceptance would be most appreciated. Thanks, SlatersGarageSlatersGarage (talk) 13:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@SlatersGarage: This was part of the JustBerry mess. I am re-reviewing the article now. Fiddle Faddle 14:07, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Maciek_Pysz

Hello

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Maciek_Pysz was not approved yesterday on the grounds that the subject is not notable enough. I checked the notability guidelines for musicians when I created the article and I am sure the subject meets them so I would like to know how to improve my article so it can be accepted. All my sources are reliable, they are major jazz websites.

He has two albums ( one released, the other in the studio for release later this year) on a major UK Jazz label which has many famous jazz musicians in its catalogue. He had reviews of his debut album in 4 major jazz newspapers (not blogs) including All about Jazz (a major US jazz magazine) and Jazzwise which is the major UK jazz magazine. One of the people in his trio is already in Wikipedia ( Asaf Sirkis) so he is connected to a notable person. He is connected to another notable Wikipedia person (Aar Maanta) by appearing on Aar Maanta's album. I put accurate references to all 4 reviews. He received funding from UK Jazz Services (after applying against a lot of competition from other talented musicians) for touring and recording, so the quality of his work is very high and that is valdated by his having received funding for both recording and touring.

Also was there a problem with my referencing? Each reference is verifiable and opens the correct page to the reference. One article is from a magazine to which I provide a month and the author of the review. How do I improve the referencing with the sources I have?

I do not know how else to make the subject notable. Please help. Thank you.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jerry Cooke (Yuri Kutschuk)

My wiki article is not an autobiography. Yuri Kutschuk is deceased, Oct. 18, 1921 - Oct. 27, 2005. He was a famous LIFE & Sports Illustrated photographer, like Neil Liefer and Alfred Eisenstaedt, who have wiki pages. Please advise on how to have my page reviewed again with the least delay, without re-entering all the information on the page? And, will I still need to change the username? I look forward to your answer. Thank you. Yurikutschuk (talk) 15:49, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of submission by Northcotemusic (contribs•talk)

Hello, My article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Northcote (band) has been approved and classed as "start class". I have made the recommended edits. When will I know when it has been re-assessed and/or when it has passed official review? Northcotemusic (talk) 18:08, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Northcotemusic: It has been approved, you say? That is it. It has been approved.

Review of Draft:Some Kind of Fairy Tale

In this draft article I submitted, at the bottom of the page it says "Draft waiting review." But at the top of the page it says "Draft not submitted for review." Which is correct? Is there anything I should do to facilitate the review? Jack Orion (talk) 18:16, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@JackOrion217: It is a foible of the various 'behind the scenes scripts', you need not be concerned. Technical 13 is this something the rewrite of the scripts is handling? Fiddle Faddle 22:35, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet, but I'm hoping to have a fix for that when I get working on the guided tour pages for draft space (which will move the submission status off the actual draft on to the /editnotice page). There most certainly should be a fix in the next 6-12 months (maybe sooner if I ever get "that" kind of free time to dig in). — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 22:46, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of submission by Beatnik Party (contribs•talk)

Hello, editors:

I am wondering what else I would need to link to in order to qualify this band (see link at end) for notability. They are on a "major" indie label (as far as they exist) with four LPs, and they are constantly touring nationally. I don't want to link to their gigs page in the article just to prove it, since that seems silly. They've had write-ups in many publications, but not yet any national papers or magazines (such as the NYT). The articles that I thought were relevant and notable, and still accessible, I linked to. (They did receive a mention in the New Yorker's Talk of the Town, but hey.)

The thing is the band is by its nature probably always going to remain somewhat under the radar. They are probably one of the premier examples of "chamber pop" in the country, but that's not exactly a chart-busting genre. I also see a whole lot of bands that are less notable in many respects but who have managed somehow to get an entry.

Please do be assured that I am in NO WAY affiliated with this band besides liking them. They have no idea who I am and I've never met them. I just thought they deserve at least an acknowledgment of their existence. What else do they need to do or provide in order to prove their notability that I have not included in the article as it stands? After reading the notability guidelines, it seems like they are pretty well qualified.

Thank you for your help!

This is the first article I have ever submitted, so please excuse anything I am doing wrong here!

Fiddle Faddle, this should address your concern of multiple sections by the same user. The template I created, {{Lafc}} should be able to take just about any pagename form and return if there are any pages with that name in Mainspace, WT:Afc/ space, Draft:, or the user's userspace (may have issues with drafts that are directly on their userpage or more than one subpage deep, still working on that). I think this is an improvement over my last modification, what do you think? All comments on the changes are welcome. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 19:43, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Technical 13: Well, yes, but look one section below Fiddle Faddle 22:18, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fiddle Faddle, they didn't quite read the instructions and made half of a wikilink... I hadn't thought about that possible error, but it would be easy for the responding helper to fix (like I just did) and as you can see, the template found a submission in both Draft: and Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/ so that will need to be addressed and see if a merge is appropriate. ;) — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 22:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Seems it found a redirect and an article, but I see what you mean. Keep going. Fiddle Faddle 22:27, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do need to fix it to SUBST that template or the username won't be what it is suppose to be.. (thinking out loud)... Unless I create a new parameter to make the username static...

Review of Draft:Long finned Perth Mint Surgeon Fish

I am doing this for a school project, it is all 100% false, i plan to keep it on wiki for 2 weeks, i am proving to many teachers across the world that wikipedia is a viable source, and that people will edit it , probably within minutes, if it does go life. My teachers always say that Wikipedia is not a viable source because ANYONE can edit it, but this is not true, it is the MOST viable source since ANYONE can edit it, it is the most updated collection in the entire world, i couldn't of asked for a better library.

Thanks,

@207.68.250.104: I think you've successfully proven your teacher's point. Hoaxes aren't allowed on Wikipedia so I've nominated your draft for deletion.
