13:39:47, 3 October 2014 review of submission by Kingsho
[edit]
I need help regarding adding external link to my (draft) pages. If I add the official video link to the (draft) pages [(I am a Man), Full episode, verified], is it consider as promotional or as informative? Since I'm doing for first time, I'm still not sure yet.

- If you are writing a draft of an article about a talk show, it is entirely reasonable to list the show's main website as an external link. And indeed, you already seem to have linked to its YouTube channel. However, the show's own website or video uploads are not independent of the show, and therefore are of little or no use for proving its notability so that Wikipedia can have an article about it. For this, independent sources are required. Such sources might for example be a review article about the show in a newspaper or a serious magazine that have no connection with the show or its producers.

Hello, I have been told my draft article has been rejected. What went wrong? It is not the 1st article I submit, but it is the 1st to be rejected. As soon as I know what to change/correct, I'll be able to upadte and resubmit it. Wikibenchris (talk) 15:35, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
- Drafts do get pushed back you know. There is no shame in that. Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. What I suggest you do is to chat to the reviewer who declined the draft, on his talk page. He has some very specific things in mind as you can see when you visit the draft. Fiddle Faddle 16:52, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi, My submission on Wikipedia has been blanked because its content violates Wikipedia's policies.
Please could you give me some further information about why this is? I don't know how I am supposed to edit it and improve it if it has been deleted. I am trying to create a page for the notable person at their request and on their behalf. They are definitely a notable person and are extremely high profile in Turkey (Hasan Arat) - so I know that once I am able to provide the necessary sources, it is something that should be on Wikipedia.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks, Nicola

- On behalf of an overenthusiastic reviewer who had misinterpreted the rules, please accept our apologies. I thought he had reverted all of these. Obviously this slipped through. I have reset it to before the review. There are a couple of obvious things wrong with it - the odd picture examples at the end. Please have a look at those.
- The draft will now be treated on its merits, and is on the oldest submissions so has a certain priority. Once you have cleaned up anything extra you fee important to clear up, let me know on my own talk page and I'll see if I feel competent to review it myself. Fiddle Faddle 16:43, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
