[edit]00:14:29, 4 September 2018 review of draft by KineretVeYarden
[edit]
I would like to link Wikipedia entry in both languages: the English Entry of Rabbi Yosef Haim HaCohen with the Hebrew entry of Rabbi Yosef Haim HaCohen which exists since 2012 The connection is important for bi-lingual Wikipedia readers
I would also like to ask an English editor if there is a specific suggestion to edit a specific word or phrase to further improve the acceptance of the submission of Rabbi Yosef Haim HaCohen English entry .
Thank you

- Shana Tova KineretVeYarden! So, once the article on Rav Yosef is accepted, we can easily link it to the Hebrew Article. As for the draft itself, I think the original editors had a few notes. First, they said that the current article sounded like it praised the Rav, and normally Wikipedia likes to be neutral. There were also some issues with the references and citations, but I can try and go in and fix those. Bkissin (talk) 16:52, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

[edit]
My draft article is still awaiting submission, it is the "very old" submission section with 162 other drafts awaiting editing. My draft is draft:constantine mavroudis. Can I request an update or an edit/approval?

Hello - I wanted to add some info about an author I came across (very little info exists about the author online), so I wrote a wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Michael_Stall
I am new to writing wikis, and because it has been declined by Heliosxeros, it needs someone with more skill to complete it. I am not sure if anyone cares to review and assist to get it published, otherwise it can be deleted. Thanks!

I dont want this page to be discarded as this is a part of my experience and I believe people also must know the genuinity of it as their are many companies which are in the same industry..I want your expert help in turning this aim of mine into reality. I was skeptical of even starting to write about it as I had a feeling that it will be rejected thinking it is a promotional one. Please let me know how and what can be mentioned in pages like this so that it stays...
Thanks

I would like some good reviewer to review my draft Draft:Arthur Margoschis, and let me know if my draft satisfies wikipedia requirements, to qualify for the main page display.
Recently, I have included credible references, links and citations.
If my draft doesn't meet requirements, then I request the reviewer to advise me on the needed changes. Johnson.devaraj (talk) 18:54, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @Johnson.devaraj:, I've resubmitted it for you - it was currently non-submitted and thus couldn't be reviewed. Currently there's a lot of drafts - roughly 3500 in Articles for Change, so as the yellow box says, reviewing could take a long time. It might not - reviewers go over topics within their area of expertise and interest, rather than purely date-order.
- I assume by "main page display" you mean like the articles that make up the visible to the public articles? If you mean the front-page, then only articles of established and extremely high quality manage that. A good, though high, first target is to focus on a Good Article.
- I've had a skim read of the draft and nothing obvious jumps out that would cause the declining of the draft, but it will need to wait for a formal review to be sure. You can obviously keep editing it in the meantime!

How do I create a page for a person with the same name as somebody with an existing page?
M'Laurine (talk) 20:30, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @M'Laurine:. I assume you are wanting to make a draft on someone with the name "John E. McCarthy" but the Catholic Bishop John E. McCarthy would prevent a direct match? For the moment I'll assume so (and that you are writing about a different person).
- The usual thing to do is add their profession in brackets afterwards. So if they were a footballer you'd create Draft:John E. McCarthy (footballer). Once it is an article, you (or someone else, if you ask) would usually put a link to each at the top of the other's page, to aid navigation.
- I hope that helps, if it doesn't, write {{ping|Nosebagbear}} in your next message here and I'll come back to have a look. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:33, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Thank you! That's exactly what I wanted to know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by M'Laurine (talk • contribs) 23:08, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Almondbite3 (talk) 22:27, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello, we were wondering if our page is still being reviewed, as we hadn't heard anything in a couple months. Is there anything else we need to do? thank you very much!
- Hi Almondbite3. One question before I start - is there a particular "we" you mean (since when you made the post you were the only editor)?
- To answer your question, AfC currently has 3500 drafts submitted to it, which means up to a 2 month waiting time. If it's been longer than 8 weeks since you re-submitted then your draft will have entered a shorter queue which should speed it up a little. The drafts aren't done in date-order, since reviewers have different specialties.
- Your draft is better than its original form (I've also fixed some formatting). At a rough glance notability probably is managed, but the actually useful (for notability - I'm sure they're good for individual facts) sources are slightly hard to identify in the mix. If any particular actions from the Alliance have been covered in the last 2 months by a newspaper in detail than adding that would almost certainly tip it over the edge in that particular sense.

23:20:16, 4 September 2018 review of draft by 108.204.65.73
[edit]Why is it taking longer than usual?
- @108.204.65.73: - as it noted in the yellow box at the bottom, we've currently got over 3500 drafts, and the amount of reviewers increases only slowly, so the processing time obviously expands. Nosebagbear (talk) 07:33, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
