Buffalo Heart Pipe, for what purpose it is used

This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. Please consider asking this question at the Wikipedia:Reference desk. They specialize in knowledge questions and will try to answer any question in the universe (except how to use Wikipedia, since that is what the Help Desk is for). Just follow the link, select the relevant section, and ask away. You could always try searching Wikipedia for an article related to the topic you want to know more about. I hope this helps.

Request on 14:57:05, 23 January 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Tristaniel

[edit]


Your rejection seems a summary judgment and without merit. Everything said is cited appropriately and though, to you, it "seems" like an advertisement, all statements are backed up with relevant references. Would you take another look and give me an example or two of what you think is too ad-like and I can then know what you don't like about its notability. I should be happy to work with you to get this in, as Rosebud the magazine is a real publication that Wikipedia has nothing on and it would be a service to the world to know about it. I see MANY articles on Wikipedia that do not meet the standards set; however, they are not rejected. It certainly seems like a double standard is being employed. Work with me to make the article acceptable. Thank you.

@Tristaniel: Hello, and welcome to the Help Desk! I've taken a look through the draft and in short, I concur with the reviewer's assessment. Writing for Wikipedia is different from other styles of writing: here we like to adopt a simple, objectively neutral "just-the-facts" tone. Fancy adjectives and adverbs look cool, but on Wikipedia they often get in the way. While there aren't really "forbidden" words on Wikipedia, there are policies about neutral writing, the use of subjective language, and words to watch that may be a useful read. I've gone through the draft and have listed a few sentences I think could stand to be rephrased on the draft.
The thing with Wikipedia is that there are 5 million articles and a few thousand dedicated volunteers, who simply can't review everything as thoroughly as they'd like to. Sometimes bad articles slip through the cracks. If you find one, you are welcome to try to improve it, or if it does not meet our notability criteria, to propose that it be deleted. You are a Wikipedia editor just the same as I am, so if you see something that's not up to snuff on Wikipedia, you are definitely free to make it better! Thanks, /wiae /tlk 15:45, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know anything about writing what ever language this is.

[edit]

Please, I need assistance with the encyclopedic neutral point of view. No original information or bias was inserted into the draft; only referenced material. David Root is named on three Wiki pages: Purification Rundown, 'Clear Body, Clear Mind', Narconon. Opposing viewpoints to the Hubbard detoxification method may be found there; however, this bio as not about his method.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Tublave (talk) 15:53, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, My article draft (Ritter Rules) was rejected for including copyrighted information. I included the actual text from the foundation that created these rules, but it seems like that is the problem. Can anyone offer advice on how I could go about making this page acceptable? Thank you.

[edit]

I have been working on this page: "Draft:Jack Curran (broadcaster)" for a long time. I've tried to add the proper links to on-line sources but much of what I used is not on-line. I have hard copies of all of it but that's it. How do I give you the references you want? Mickeyd20 (talk) 23:12, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mickeyd20: I've left you a lengthy comment on the draft. Worldbruce (talk) 08:47, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
