[edit]11:36:43, 11 August 2015 review of submission by 1001Bookworm
[edit]- 1001Bookworm (talk · contribs)
HiThere, Could you help me out? I did "Cite," but the first one shows as "2" in the text while "1" is found nowhere. However, in the Reference the content of "1." reads as the same as that of "4." How could I find "1" in the text to remove it? Thanks so much!

- I don't entirely understand your question but I have dealt with 2 aspects of the draft. You had a missing <ref> tag, so I have added it. As you pointed out, ref 1 & ref 4 referred to the same source. Ref 1 had defined a named reference, so I have reused that where you had ref 4. A further problem is that ref 1 was used in what you have regarded as a "| Nasdaq" parameter (which doesn't exist in the template), whereas the Nasdaq template with the relevant ticker is intended to be one option within the "|traded as" parameter, hence there is a strange display in the infobox. I'll leave you to sort out what you intended to use that reference for, and to correct it accordingly. --David Biddulph (talk) 12:00, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello I have been trying to create an article on my Father-in-law Dr JM Rollet and the stability factor named after him. This has been rejected a number of time on the references. The latest I think refers to having verifiable references for reviewers to check. The stability factor is referenced in many, many periodicals and scientific papers, some of which I've included in further reading and a few of which I have referenced in the piece, but apart from the abstracts, these articles have to be paid for - is this the reason why they have been rejected this latest time as invalid?
I could reference the same material on other wiki pages, microwave and electronic history sites, which will be open to all but when I did this previously I think I was rejected for relying too heavily on one source.
What should I do, find more open sources of material to reference?
Or is there some other problem?
This is my first stab at creating an article and I would appreciate any help. Dr Rollett is getting on and I promised I'd do this for him.
Thanks -
John McNally

My article was rejected, for lack of formal tone. I'd like assistance on how to make it more formal. History1991 (talk) 13:48, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
- You appear to have dealt with the formal tone. But it is unlikely that a project run by a university will be notable enough for an article, and this one is no exception. Maproom (talk) 14:34, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Sulfurboy recently declined the page List_of_universities_in_Ontario, for the following reason: "I don't see a reasoning for a standalone list from this.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_in_Canada#Ontario"
There are two pages for colleges in Canada on Wikipedia - List of colleges in Canada - found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_in_Canada - and List of colleges in Ontario - found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_in_Ontario.
For the sake of equality between the universities and colleges in Canada, our page listing the universities in Ontario should be accepted. Please provide a reason for why the colleges and universities in Canada would be given differential treatment in the acceptance of these pages.

20:16:43, 11 August 2015 review of submission by Reddwerks
[edit]Wanted to know why my company page didn't get accepted. We are a 30M dollar private company that is in an emerging industry. I only entered basic information so far since I am just learning how to create anything in wikipedia. Thank you for your time. Reddwerks (talk) 20:16, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
Request on 21:17:48, 11 August 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by User:Majorpublishing
[edit]
I've submitted this article twice adjusting as necessary. I have asked for help from professionals in the music field who've written articles for other composers who are in similar professional placement as Jonathan Leshnoff. We are uncertain as to why the article was rejected (even after reading through the reviewer's notes). Please guide is the direction necessary to complete this article. Thank you.Majorpublishing (talk) 21:17, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Majorpublishing: In the six paragraphs of prose that make up the body of the draft, only three sentences are supported by inline citations. (Furthermore, the ASO piece supports "Jewish mysticism", but doesn't say anything about "five Kabbalistic 'universes'" or about who commissioned the piece.) Although there is no numeric requirement such as one citation per sentence or one citation per paragraph, biographies of living persons do require a high standard of inline citations. In the reviewer's judgement, not all "material challenged or likely to be challenged" currently has an inline citation. I agree with that assessment.
- While you're making changes, turn the external links in the recordings section into references. Try to fix the red error messages in the references. Also, the Wikipedia convention is to list works within categories in chronological order, earliest to latest. None of these will prevent the draft from being approved. We can assist with these as well as with appropriate use of bold, italics, quotations marks, capitalization, etc., but inattention to Wikipedia's Manual of Style conveys an impression that you probably don't mean to make.
