- Draft:Fowler's Bluff (band) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Can someone please bump Draft:Fowler's Bluff (band) to nearer the head of the queue. I undid a refusal by a new editor who has been given advice by several admins to his user page to understand better about notability before using speedy delete / AFD therefore I wonder if he should be making notability calls so soon on AFC. However I am not familiar with the AFC process. This article is sourced but on inspection does look a bit spammy round the edges, so it needs an experienced AFC editor to make a call. Thanks someone for picking up the ball here. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:42, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@In ictu oculi: The queue is a concept that works, kind of. You depend on a reviewer who feels they have the skill to review this draft actually picking it up and running with it. I have left a comment for Chadmairn, the author, on the draft, but I try to avoid music related articles as being outside my general current area of competence.

There are no reviewer comments on my page Leonid2 (talk) 02:29, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Leonid2: First, I see that you initially submitted your blank sandbox, which was declined. You added in content about "dynamic logic" so I'll address that: Your draft is too technical and essay-like. The subject itself seems to be addressed at Dynamic logic (modal logic) as well as the article about its creator, Leonid Perlovsky so you should add content there rather than create a new article. Second, I note that you're using your user page as a sandbox about "Knowledge Instinct." I recommend you put this content into its own draft or sandbox, as your userpage is meant to tell us about you as a Wikipedia editor. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:04, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

FIRST TELL US WHY YOU ARE REQUESTING HELP ON THE LINE BELOW THIS LINE. Take as many lines as you need. -->}}

Question 1: I practiced writing my first article in my sandbox. Once i clicked "Save Page" and confirmed that I wanted to submit it as an article, I received the confirmation "Review waiting" and a warning that said: "Warning: This page should probably be moved, but a page already exists at Draft:Sandbox." Below this was a button that said, "Move to Draft space."

I'm not sure what this means. Does my article exist only in my personal sandbox? What is the "Draft space" and how is it different from my personal sandbox? Ultimately, it is my goal to have my article appear in Wikipedia and I'm not sure if there is anything else on my part that I must do now that it is pending a review.

Question 2: I would like to add a photo to my article but I'm not sure if I have to wait for it to be approved before I can do that.

Any answers to these questions or other help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

@Bacimituti: I moved your draft from your personal sandbox to Draft:Francesco Lo Castro where it can be reviewed. You've already submitted your draft for review so now it's just a matter of time. The message you saw only indicated that there's already content at Draft:Sandbox. I recommend that you remove the external links from the body of the article and cut the numerous quotes in the "Press & Reviews" section as it is not of encyclopedic tone. Wikipedia is not here to advertise so the more boring the draft reads, the more likely it will be accepted. Also, I don't think All About Jazz is a reliable source so I would remove all content that relies on it. Finally, like many in your industry you've incorporated a lot of name-dropping. This cognitive bias will not make the case for notability.

To upload images, you need to edit more and become an autoconfirmed user before you'll be able to upload images. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:29, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
