I have not understood, why my article has been declined by saying POV tone has been used.
While I have come across several similar articles with same style of writings.

- @Cnadak: Hello, and welcome to the Help Desk. The reviewer has asked that you reword the draft to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Some words you should consider rewording include "eminent" and "international reputation", and the rest of the document should be written in complete sentences where possible. For example, the "Education and Career" section is written in bullet points, which looks like something you might find in a resume, but doesn't really work well on Wikipedia. I would consider removing the "Research Interest" section entirely, or integrating it into the rest of the draft, making sure to cite sources that back up those particular research interests. In general, you should cite a source whenever you make a significant or contentious claim about Chaudhuri.
- As an aside, sometimes there are articles on Wikipedia that are not particularly well-written. It's always best to write your draft so that it complies with policy, rather than basing it on another article that may not be written in the tone required by Wikipedia.

The page didn't get approved because of the not sources were not relevant enough. Could you please make a suggestions what exactly needs to be improved. The information was taken from such reliable websites as BBC.co.uk, Engadget, The memo...

article: Cyber Defense Labs
Apparently a company rated 455 out of the top 500 [1] in the field world wide is not notable. Should I strip out all primary citations so reviewer only see the most "notable" ones???

I have a new account and have just submitted the article 'Moriz Scheyer' for review. I would like to upload a number of images to improve the article; could you advise me (a) how to do this and (b) whether I should wait to do this until the article is reviewed? Thanks.

An article I created for entrepreneur Dick Simon has been accepted, though now it is difficult to find because Dick Simon is already a famous car racer at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Simon. I added entrepreneur Dick Simon to disambiguation pages for Richard Simon and people with surname Simon, but most people will type "Dick Simon" into the search box (that is the name he goes by), be taken directly to Dick Simon the car racer's page, and give up. Can Dick_Simon be turned into a disambiguation page and Dick Simon (Car Racer) moved or is there another solution? Thanks. Calebaencole (talk) 15:35, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello I want to know if an article of the origins of a specific surname would be acceptable. The article will refer to ancient Irish legends, British and Scottish historical texts and documents in a speculative rather than proven way before the 15th century after which time the surname is firmly established in history. The surname I've researched is Routledge and its dozens of variable spellings. Diane Redfern

- Hello, do you have a specific question about the draft? The reviewer has left some helpful comments on the draft page itself that should be helpful. Thanks, /wiae /tlk 13:31, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

The first decline asked me to include more 3rd party links. The second asked for better ones. I added in four high-quality 3rd party citations, but then my draft was declined again without comment.
Can someone let me know what needs to be added?
