Hello, how I can add picture of person in this pending article? it submitted for your review. Thanks.

Hello @184.153.44.229:, please focus on getting the article published first, we can worry about photos later. In this case, photos can only be added after the article publishes. MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]


I need some help, I'm attempting to write a page description for the website Repokar.com, have rewritten it multiple times in order for it to not sound like an advertisement and tried to even include a source just to see if it will be accepted just a very simple description first. What would a notable secondary source consist of? I tried a news article but that obviously wasn't a good enough source. When I check competitive descriptions such as Mannheim Auctions - they have yahoo (such as the one I exemplified) and their own website as sources. Confused as to what I'm doing wrong, help!

Hello,

I was wondering if you could help me with a biography that I have submitted in wikipedia but it was declined on multiple occasions. I reached out to another person and they told me that I need 42 sources to get a biography approved. I reformatted the references and added more in-line citations but the article was declined once again. The reviewer seemed as if they were very annoyed by the number of sources but I was just following what I was told. Can you please take a look at the draft and let me know what I can do to improve the article?

Thanks in advance! webmasternshs

@Webmasternshs: I would ignore other problems and focus on references first. First things first, ditch the perception that 42 sources are needed. Secondly you have added a whole load of external links, which are not references exactly and should not be used in excess (usually three external links would be a lot already). Before dealing with the rest of the content, you can and should first get a better understanding of referencing by reading WP:CS, WP:EL and WP:REFB.

Hello! Firstly, I'm sorry I'm not logged into my account pollykul, but I seem to have forgotten the password and cannot remember it for the life of me. But I just want to know why exactly the article I submitted was rejected while it has 7 reliable sources and two further links that also prove the museums 'notability.' Is there a particular part that should be edited or removed in particular? I've been going over many other fashion museums and they all have very few, if any, sources, so I'm exceptionally confused why this one for some reason is considered not 'notable' or 'reliable.' For example if you view the Bata Shoe Museum page, which is a good example as it is a museum in equivalent size to the FHM, it has only one source and two notes and yet an ample of information. What exactly differs that page from this one? I've already looked through all the wiki pages on learning how to make a good entry, so I'd appreciate if I can get some concrete advice and examples as to what can be changed and what is wrong.

Thank you!!

Hi, I am relatively new to Wikipedia contribution, and I need an advice why the draft article I wrote is declined. Any tips are welcome.
