[edit]00:17:43, 28 September 2014 review of submission by Jones.ben1977
[edit]
I submitted an article about stand up comedian Steve Simeone and was declined by MatthewVanitas for "You must show that Simeone is extensively written about by media or academia". Can someone please explain what I need to include in the article that will satisfy this requirement? i.e more information? more external links?
Many Thanks

- Because IMDB is not considered a reliable source, your draft currently only has one single independent reliable source, the SanDiego.com one. In accordance with Wikipedia:VRS, it needs a lot more than that. Inline citations are more useful than external links, especially for articles about living people. You can see how to add inline citations at Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners.
- You could look at a recognised Wikipedia Good Article about a comedian, for example Seth MacFarlane, to see how references for a biography can be presented. However, your draft does not need to be that long to be accepted! Arthur goes shopping (talk) 06:48, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

- Go to the rejected daft and read the answer which was there for you already. Note that autoboographies are discouraged. See WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY and consider: If this is all you have to say about yourself, it is inevitable that an article will be rejected. Fiddle Faddle 08:52, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Questions:
1. Can I link music/video files to all her catalog as its available free of cost.
2. I need help in the reference and cited area. I get this "This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. Please improve this article by introducing more precise citations." I have cited allot whats the difference to a inline reference and a cited link? I located the source. Created a permanent archive of the link and created a citation to each. Like so:
Evil Beaver Band member Laura Ann [1]

I need to know why the articled keeps getting assigned a second namespace set to Evil_Beaver_(2):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Evil_Beaver_(2)
I edit and use Evil_Beaver:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Beaver
Since it is the correct link and unused. The 2 versions is confusing to me?
Generally speaking: I have put allot of time into collecting everything noteworthy on the band. Just trying to fit everything I find interesting into the article without overstatement. The bands legit and connected to many in the industry and tours the world every year. I hope you all will help me better finalize the writing.
I could literally write a lot about her in the article panning many tones and things I find interesting. I think articles should allow the perceptive of the writer along with cited information as telling readers a more interesting story. Some of the greatest story's in music history about the biggest bands and artists have no real tangible evidence to prove them, and many are fictitious. But there is 1000's of foot of copy space typed in 1000's of publications.
I like that WIKIPEDIA strives for articles with a balanced non biased content. I have the parts to the article I just ask for help in more how to present this band as being sent to a band page of others as reference help tells me very little other than a format. The writing I see more a story in the writers words and cites to any stated claim made. I am getting feedback that sounds like it should just be a compilation of blurbs from industry noted sources and a cite to a link where the blurb originates??? Help is appreciated as I really think the band is noteworthy, influential, with ties to a whole lot of very good bands and music. I want to present a nice article and learn how to write one. I am very interested in doing this more and appreciate anyone willing to give me more insight in writing. I want write about allot of these unknown bands and artists that are connected and share a large part in shaping the few. I think many top bands and artists giving credit to other famous bands says nothing real about them. Its just a thing to say and I am a music fan I can hear the influence. But most given time to really breath life into what they are made up of is of other artists along the way most not famous at all. Once I get the writing done I am having a friend edit all the grammar or punctuation errors.

- I hope I can answer this.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Beaver is a main namespace page, an article, that has been created and deleted multiple times. You can see th elist in a pink box if you click the link. I cannot see the deleted text, though an admin can, so I cannot tell you if there are any similarities with the one you are working on.
- I think, from what you have said, that you are working on Draft:Evil Beaver, which is a draft article, and is, so far, unsubmitted for review. I see your name as one of the editors in the edit history.
- There is also Draft:Evil Beaver (2), which is a version you have put a lot of work into, judging by the edit history. This one has been submitted for review. There is a technical obstacle. The target pagen Evil Beaver (ignore the (2)) has this status: "This page is protected from creation, so only administrators can create it." That is fine, a reviewer can assist with that once the article is accepted.
- What I suggest that you do is to continue to improve Draft:Evil Beaver (2) while you wait for a review, safe in the knowledge that a reviewer will use the correct name, and that they will handle the protection issue once they accept it. I would review it myself, but I have poor competence with music articles. I;d prefer a reviewer who specialises in music to review it.
- 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. Fiddle Faddle 19:53, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- Well, I answered some of it! The banner about lack of footnotes I have removed. It was a hangover form history. I shall not be greedy. I shall leave the other questions for others to answer. Fiddle Faddle 20:08, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Greetings,
Please tell me, should you accept my Wikipedia submission, who owns the copyright? I would like to share my Wikipedia submission with the Rocky Mountain Map Society and they may wish to upload it to their website. But I will not do so if this would create a conflict on your end.
Many thanks.
