Hello @Kim Oun:, what is your question? The draft you have submitted does not even remotely resemble a Wikipedia article, I can't even tell what your intended topic is. Please give your draft a very clear WP:Lead section that introduces the who-what-when-where-why of your topic. MatthewVanitas (talk) 11:36, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Kim Oun: I moved your draft to Draft:85512255079 - you had incorrectly moved it to a User-space page of a nonexistent user. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:34, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My article was declined and I would like to know if there are things that should be removed in order to meet approval. I am more than happy to remove any items that you consider "promotional in nature" . My draft is "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:RR_Auction"

two time its has got rejected .. can anyone help me to get it approved ?

Hi Sreemesh1 - This issue is one of notability. Nothing in your draft (Draft:Kodakkad Sreedharan) indicates that this person is notable. The current sources don't establish notability. In fact, both of the Hindu articles don't appear to be about him. To show notability, you'll need about 3 sources which come from independent reliable sources and which go in-depth about the subject. Mere listings, or trivial mentions are insignificant, as are press releases and churnalism articles. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 16:15, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Gewehr88: Hello, and welcome to the Help Desk. Do you have a specific question about your draft? It was declined because it appeared to be an editing test. If you would like to experiment with Wikipedia markup and syntax, the sandbox is a good place to do it. However, you don't need to submit it for review to Articles for Creation; this process reviews drafts that are destined for the main article space. Thanks! /wiae /tlk 14:18, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello there, I am writing on behalf of Dr. Serdar Bulun and would like to ask for suggestions regarding the article "Serdar Bulun" submitted yesterday. Would it be appropriate to have another scientific researcher from our institution submit a revised article that meets the article guidelines instead of submitting it for revision as an autobiography? Please advise and thank you in advance.

Serdar Bulun (talk) 19:45, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Serdar Bulun: The draft has been accepted and is available at Serdar Bulun, so there is no need to submit a revised article. However, I will encourage you to look at Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines, and in particular to note that the policy on Wikipedia is "one user—one account". Usernames should not be shared by multiple individuals. Thanks, and congratulations on the acceptance, /wiae /tlk 02:50, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How do I change the title of my article? And how do I create a "see also" section?

@Rbg8798: Hi, thanks for stopping by the Help Desk. To change the title of an article, the article itself must be moved, as this policy page explains. It seems that your account is old enough to be allowed to move pages. However, for more controversial renames, I strongly recommend proposing a requested move instead, where many members of the community can weigh in.
To create a "See also" section in a page, just edit the page to add a new header with syntax == See also ==. Then on each subsequent new line, you can put a bullet (the Wikipedia syntax for which is an asterisk) followed by the title of the Wikipedia page to which you wish to wikilink.
Incidentally, you will notice that Death March to Durham has a large banner on it reading "Investigation of potential copyright issue". This is because there is a potential copyright problem with a portion of the page. It has been sent to the copyright clerks at Copyright Problems, who will take a close look at the page and determine the proper course of action. Thanks, and please stop by here or at the Teahouse in the future if you have any further questions. /wiae /tlk 02:56, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello this page was declined by Onel5969 and they said to leave a question here. I would really like to work towards getting it accepted if possible so would like to get specific advice on what improvements would help (this will help me work out if it's going to be possible or not). It's about a non profit art organisation which has been around in it's present state for 9 years (with a much longer history) but there is not much discussion of it online. I would consider taking text out if it's deemed problematic. I read the guidelines in advance and tried to follow models for other arts organisations so it would be very helpful to get specific tips. I also asked if the title name / url should have the word 'and' rather than '&'. many thanks, loolah

The draft is Draft:Fife Contemporary Art & Craft - not sure why the link above isn't working. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:10, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
