- Hello, Zkmansuri. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. You didn't ask a question, so I'm unsure what response to give here. But I did take a look at your submission and found that most of it was taken verbatim from the subject's web site. This material has been removed and, in its current state, the submission is unlikely to be accepted. You might want to read our introduction to writing articles.

Thanks for reviewing the article.
However I was wondering what could be changed for it to be accepted? Note that it's a translation of the original article into the English language. Since the company has acquired a British company recently, it will be more appropriate to have an English version to help people looking for more information on SD Worx.
Hoping to hear from you on how can this article be enhanced to suit the requirements.

- Hello, SDWorxMau. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. I took a look at your submission and found that I agree with the reviewer. You have not provided any evidence that the subject is "notable" in the sense that Wikipedia uses that word. To do so, you will need to demonstrate that the company has been the subject of in-depth coverage from reliable sources that are independent of the company. I also note that your user name suggests that you are related to the company in some way. You might consider reading our guideline on conflict of interest.

How do you add an images of myself? Thanks.

- Ron Duprat: See Wikipedia:Uploading images. Also note that writing autobiographies is strongly discouraged as it represents a conflict of interest. TimothyJosephWood 14:35, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
I need some help with my submission. Our non-profit organization has been around since 1945. Unfortunately. Hanna Boys Center does not have an entry so I have been trying to write one. My entries have been rejected several times and I'm not sure how to edit further although I'm happy to do so.
Somehow, we have a Wikipedia for the School that is a part of our organization but not our main organization. The main organization, Hanna Boys Center was founded in 1945, the school part of it was founded later in 1949. The School was accredited as a HIGH SCHOOL much later in 1986!
Should I have 2 seperate entries? Or try to update the school one into the Center one? I would prefer to add a new one and just delete any content that is offensive

- First, read the conflict of interest guideline. If you work either for the center or for the school, you have a conflict of interest. You must declare it, and you are discouraged from editing. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:25, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I want to make sure I'm abiding by Wikipedia's guidelines and that all red flags are addressed for a successful second submission. Can you please point out the specific sections of my article that need to be revised? Thank you!Greg8192 (talk) 21:51, 31 October 2016 (UTC) Greg8192 (talk) 21:51, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- Did you read the rejection notice, where it says "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia"? That's still true of the entire draft. A word like "spearheaded" has no place in an encyclopedia article – that's just one example of what was meant by the reviewer. Maproom (talk) 16:37, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
