04:19:02, 10 October 2014 review of submission by OJCASK

OJCASK (talk · contribs)

I would like create a University page for the above mentioned institute. In order to do so, I would like both the page name and content reviewed before submission to ensure all of the relevant guidelines have been met. OJCASK (talk) 04:19, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And how do you suggest that can possibly happen? You actually have to write something for folk to review it. Fiddle Faddle 08:42, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of where to review the content. The materials have been produced, though I am cautious about submitting this content in the wrong reviewing space. OJCASK (talk) 00:55, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@OJCASK: Use the Article wizard, and when you get to the last step choose to create a draft. When you submit the article it will be stored in a part of Wikipedia specifically designated for content that is waiting to be reviewed, and one of the editors involved with the "Articles for Creation" project will review it. Note that there are currently a couple thousand articles waiting for review so it may take several weeks. --Ahecht (TALK

still the same problem: message said article removed due to copyright violation. Please check the resource link, free licence note has been put in that page in order to let this article be created. What else exactly do we write there to provide the creation of this article? thanks Edendiss (talk) 07:44, 10 October 2014 (UTC)edendiss Edendiss (talk) 07:44, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have checked http://www.lehoproject.eu/en/glossary/4-home-education which is the site the material was taken from and see that it carries "a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license except where otherwise noted" I am not an expert in copyright, but suggest you ask RHaworth who deleted Draft:Learning at Home and in the Hospital - Leho to examine this with a view to discussing restoring it. It appears to me that it may be licenced correctly. Message him on his talk page, please, explaining the licence and how it applies to the material you used.

A word of caution, though. External web sites are by no means always suitable to be reproduced verbatim. It is infinitely better to use your own words on Wikipedia. Fiddle Faddle 08:15, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Edendiss: I see that the material I have struck through (above) has been overtaken by events and that Learning at Home and in the Hospital - LeHo exists. I have removed the copyvio notification based upon the licencing of the source page, but the article is not a Wikipedia article. Creating it as an article was not a wise move and it is likely that it will be deleted as unsuitable unless you work on it hard and quickly. The WP:AFC process is intended to insulate you from the need to work against a potential deletion discussion. Since you have chosen to bypass that you have created your own need to work fast in an environment with which you are not familiar.

I recommend that you move the very imperfect article to the Draft: namespace as a matter of priority and request reviewer help on it. Fiddle Faddle 08:27, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Helpdesk,

I made an article a month ago and put it for submission, yet up today I haven't received any response... Here it is: Stormy Atmosphere Please inform me about the status of my request.

Thank you in advance,

I have now reviewed this but unfortunately have had to decline it. Sorry for the very long wait for this bad news. Please see the comments on the draft itself for what you can do to improve it. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 10:55, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ASC 6700 (talk) 14:21, 10 October 2014 (UTC) Thank you for your review. My understanding is that our topic requires more second party source references before it will be approved, correct? I have provided some updates and am working on more. In the meantime, are there any other issues we can address? Thank you so much for your help.[reply]

We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. The PR web one is a press release and must go. Fiddle Faddle 15:17, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:15:26, 10 October 2014 for assistance on AfC submission by Vampressition

I would like to know why my submission was declined? The book did have a press release, and it's being sold on amazon and ebay and Barnes and Noble right now. I've even seen it sold for $200+ on ebay. Just wondering. Thank you!

Vampressition (talk) 17:15, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if you have ever looked at a WIkipedia article and considered the references section. Your single sentence "Another fictional novel written in 2012, "FOREVER THE BEGINNING" by Carolyn Garbison Harkleroad, depicts the differences amid different types of vampires, being the forever, but then joining their own kind of clan that they fall into." has no references, nor does it even make particular sense. Even of it's notable you have not shown that it is. Fiddle Faddle 17:21, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Vampressition (talk · contribs)

Sorry, but I'm not very literate when it comes to computers, and I never know if I'm answering or writing in the appropriate places or not. I was wondering if you could help with revising my submission? Vampressition (talk) 17:59, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Vampressition: Certainly not. The book isn't notable. The author isn't notable. You've written one poorly-written unsourced sentence and you expect us to write an article for your advertising effort? Chris Troutman (talk) 18:49, 10 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Ross Barney Architects (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

After receiving comments from a reviewer, changes were made. Reviewer opted leave final decision to another certified articles of creation user. Please advise on how to move forward. This article is meant to be a companion to an existing article is believed to offer valuable insight to those interested in architecture and design. The bones of the article have been reviewed for clarity and it is hoped that others will contribute over time to offer a robust perspective on the work of Ross Barney Architects.

I have left you a message on the draft. For me it needs editing hard for promotional tone. Fiddle Faddle 04:22, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
