[edit]
Hi I have added a draft but it has been declined due to notability and yet other Councillors at the same level of government with less external references are in wikipedia. This would presume that they are more notable yet Cr Adam Allan has had more media coverage than them. I have added external and independent citations that are not linked with him but it was still rejected. As an example see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wines and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Murphy_(Australian_politician). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Owen-Taylor and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Schrinner. These four are all at the same level of government. Thank you

- The draft has 15 references, but the ones I've checked do nothing to attest to his notability; no. 12 doesn't even mention him. Which of the references do you think help to establish that he's notable? Maproom (talk) 08:12, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

[edit]I am creating an article about a company that has been in existence for 30 years and made a difference to the industry it addresses. The content is neutral and the intent is to state facts. Enough references are provided in the article to showcase where the info is coming from. However, it is getting deleted stating the content is 'promotional' and it is 'soapboxing' etc. As a new user, i am clueless on what mistakes i am making in the content. Is there anyone who can help?

[edit]
I am unclear as to why 3 of 4 of my images did not upload. I believe copyright violation is suspected, though all images are my own creations.
The article is meant only for consideration in the 'Explanations' section of the Shadow Person page. It is an analytical synthesis offering a physiological theory, as verifiable or not, as any other explanation therein. The theory presented has the capacity to be studied, whereas "These hallucinations have been directly compared to the paranormal entities described in folklore." (already on the page) offers no explanation, and several other explanations are presented as speculations, possibilities, and comments. Thanks so much for your good work!
- Hello again, Anne. I took a look at your account over at Wikipedia Commons and saw no evidence that you've tried to upload any images other than the one that now appears in the draft. Beyond that, I can only repeat the advice that I gave on May 4 -- study WP:Uploading images to see what steps you might have missed with the other images. But your posting here raises a more basic issue. If you really intend this to simply be an addition to the already-existing article at Shadow person, then you shouldn't be here at Articles for Creation. Instead, you should be having a discussion with the folks who work on that article. That discussion will take place on the article's Talk page, which is here. I hope this response has been helpful.

[edit]
I just created my first article (Cultural and Natural History Collections at the University of La Verne). I am self-taught on HTML, and having a hard time trying to figure out how to add footnotes and references. Do I <ref>[bracket]websitelink[bracket]<ref> after the sentence where I want the footnote? I thought this is what I should do, but that makes a mess of my submission. I tried listed the link below references, also a mess.
Chickboat (talk) 21:06, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
- Hello, Chick. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. The immediate problem you are describing is caused by overlooking the "/" in the ending marker. So, although the footnote should have a <ref> in front, there should be a </ref> (note the slash) in back. And yes, the footnote (with the markers) should be placed at the end of the sentence (or paragraph) that it is referencing. But now to the larger problems. First, you might want to work through our WP:Tutorial. Doing so will introduce you to the basics elements of our Manual of Style. And second, it isn't all that clear to me why we need a separate article on the collections. We already have an article on the University of La Verne and the material you are creating could easily fit within the pre-existing article. If you agree, then you do not need to submit your work through Articles for Creation. Instead, you can simply begin a discussion on the Talk page of that article, with a view towards seeing how your material might best be presented. The talk page is at Talk:University of La Verne. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 22:32, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
