Request on 01:08:02, 8 October 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Calais1984

[edit]


Calais1984 (talk) 01:08, 8 October 2015 (UTC) Calais 1984 username Request for assistance please. In the 'External sources and further reading' section I am trying to put them in the required Wiki format. When I do it they turn into footnotes/references. I was using CITE manual but that doesn't seem to the correct one. Which one is it guys as I'm stuck.

@Calais1984: The reviewer has directed you to Wikipedia:Citation overkill, please read that page and it'll help you. --  Kethrus |talk to me  13:14, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


How can I improve my draft Wikipedia page on The Total Wellbeing Diet? It has been re-reviewed and will not be published because of apparent lack of independent sources:

@Sphealth999: To me it reads like an advertisement. Also, see WP:42, sources must be independent and reliable (see WP:RS). Also see WP:GNG. It's also not recommended to edit about something you have an affiliation with (See WP:COI). --  Kethrus |talk to me  13:13, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My article was denied and I would like to know what changes I can make to get it approved.

@217.115.42.50: I'm unable to find a draft in your contributions, this may be because you've accidentally asked this question while logged out, I'm also unable to find Draft:Panduro Hobby (as it's in your sandbox). All I can recommend is you read the reviewers reason and look at the links they've put in the reason. --  Kethrus |talk to me  13:11, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 07:27:31, 8 October 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Volontaerin

[edit]


Hello there, I am trying since March to get my article about the NGO Legal Resources Foundation in Zimbabwe approved. I've already shortened it but it looks like every time I ask for approval someone else is reading it and giving me the same advice - my sources are not reliable (which I simply don't understand) and the article is too long. Please help me. I think the article is important but I am now very demotivated! Volontaerin (talk) 07:27, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have left you a much more detailed comment on the draft that prior reviewers seem to have done. Please return here if you have questions once you have read it. Fiddle Faddle 14:42, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

What is the reason for the refusal of my article? What should I do to obtain approval? Orangemarker (talk) 09:07, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Orangemarker: It was declined because it reads like an advertisement. --  Kethrus |talk to me  13:08, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good Morning - I saw the message about the article containing copywriter material. I would like to edit the article and update it so that it complies with Wikipedias guidelines. However, I am curious to what the material is that you view as copyrighted so that I may make these changes. This would be most helpful to me.

Any and all material taken form another website is a copyright violation. You talk page tells you which web site you have copied. IN general an editor tends to remember what they have copied and pasted here. Fiddle Faddle 20:38, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Pink Meth

I want to keep my articles or i'll just copy and paste a neutral from another website that'll give ya imformation! 19:30, 8 October 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Googleforum666 (talk • contribs)

We have no idea what it is you are asking. However, do not copy material form other websites, please. That would almost certainly be copyright violation, and is a behaviour that will get you blocked. Fiddle Faddle 20:35, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:The Pink Meth as failing WP:GNG and as an advert and "How To" guide. Fiddle Faddle 22:13, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
