[edit]Review of submission by Orangegeum
[edit]- Orangegeum (talk · contribs)
I want to reply to, and give thanks for, a response from Worldbruce made back in September to my request for help on an article, but the conversation is now archived. I suspect it's very simple but I can't work out how to do this. Any tips would be much appreciated. Thank you.

- @Orangegeum: Hello, Orangegeum. The discussion you had with Worldbruce was here and I see that you've already followed some of that advice. Before posting here, I re-formatted one of your references using the {{cite news}} template, which you can use as an example for re-doing the rest. (There are plenty of useful citation templates and you might find {{cite web}} more appropriate for some of the other references.) You can also improve the appearance of the draft by conforming it to some of the basic elements of our Manual of Style. First, per WP:REFPUNCT, the reference markers go after, not before, the sentence's final punctuation mark. And you are making inordinate use of italics. See MOS:ITALICS for more detail on this. I hope this response has been helpful. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:21, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

[edit]
Submitted blank page by mistake. Used EDIT to add page content.
- @A7FL: Hello, A7FL. Your submission is in the queue to be reviewed but, because we are very backlogged here, it might take a month before a reviewer gets a chance to look at it. In the meantime, you should be aware that, in its current state, it is very unlikely that the draft will be accepted for publication. It has no sourcing, which is a serious defect especially in the case of a biography of a living person. I strongly urge you to spend the time to find reliable independent sources that discuss the subject and that do so in some depth. You can learn more detail on this by reading WP:Reliable sources and WP:General notability guidelines. Also, I see that your user name is the same as the organization founded by the draft's subject. If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to take a look at our conflict-of-interest guidelines. I hope this response has been helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

why was my wikipedia not accepted. Everything is written in a neutral matter and i included a link on official coverage and play from the artist.
- @Dgzeuz: Hello, Dgzeuz. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. The best sources of information as to why it was not accepted will be the reviewers who looked at it. You can find their names and Talk page links in the "decline boxes" near the top of your submission. I encourage you to contact one or both of them for additional clarification. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:58, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
