- Draft:Credico (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi, just still having trouble getting my article placed in the proper AfC by age, says it should be in 20 days ago but that category is empty. This is in regard to the Draft:Credico

Thanks! Ekay514 Ekay514 (talk) 02:57, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ekay. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. The software that sorts submissions by age does not update the categories on a continuous basis, so I wouldn't get too concerned about precisely when your submission shows up in any particular category. Your submission has not been lost and will be looked at by a reviewer in due course. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 17:53, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ! I am creating a page for the first time. My request to review the draft will take time as almost 905 reviews are waiting. Meanwhile can anyone please help me to improve the draft please. Can someone please tell me what I need to edit in the meantime so that my draft can get passed in the first attempt. Thank you.Maaley (talk) 03:32, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Maaley. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. You are correct in assuming that it will take time before someone will look at your submission. And given the current backlog, this will likely take more than the two-to-three weeks that is stated in the message that appears on the draft. We regret the delay and thank you for your patience.

Thank you for your generous replies.Maaley (talk) 23:51, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Dearsohanlal. You haven't asked a question, so I'll simply make an observation. Pursuant to the discussion at Articles for Deletion, your article was not appropriate for inclusion on Wikipedia and was deleted yesterday. Your near-immediate restoration of the article has also been deleted. Given all this, I think it very unlikely that your draft will be accepted by us for publication. NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:09, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This had gotten by the usual check for previous deletion because the check is case-sensitive. I have tagged the current draft for WP:G4. Please do not try to game the system. If you have written an article that is substantially different from the deleted article, you need to indicate that, and to make the deleted article available for review by the reviewers.

revision for Footgolf article

Hi, i've submitted for review an article about Ialian Footgolf. In fact there's the page in my sandbox.

Please can you help me understand how to modify it to make it reliable for wikipedia?

Thanks --Putter2017 (talk) 08:29, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Putter2017. Currently it looks like the draft doesn't contain any references. References are required so that content can be verified, and to show sustained coverage in reliable sources to demonstrate the notability of the subject. For guidance on referencing for Wikipedia see Help:Referencing for beginners. TimothyJosephWood 17:38, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
