Feedback from Steve Millar (13 January 2015)
- Did you find the instructions clear?
- I think so :)
- How quickly was your submission reviewed?
- It was rejected, that took a few days as I recall, so I did no more work on it - and then it was later accepted (which I only discovered later) so I might do more on it now.
- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
- Not particularly - though as a relatively infrequent (and thus inexperienced) contributor I do find it time-consuming to pick my way through the processes.

I have been managing my own 'Death wish' through a technique I developed called Death meditation, which even after nearly 30 years, I still find an effective way to deal with my preference to be dead than living.
I wanted to write an article to advise others of this technique, as everyone I have taught it to has found it useful, not just myself.
The way your encyclopedia works requires my 'Death meditation' to be reported or cited in other varifiable media. It looks as if I will need to find another way of advising people about this useful alternative to suicide.
Feedback from 81.149.131.228 (30 January 2015)
- Did you find the instructions clear?

- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
I have tried to request a new page be made for 'Death meditation' as I have found it very useful in managing my 'Death wish' rather than acts of suicide.
'Death meditation' is a technique I developed myself when I was 9years old and it helps me to get to sleep without medication or acts of actual suicide.
Due to this being my own creation I have no citings on other media sources as yet, even my own therapists have been astounded when I have told them about it.
Since it can easily be understood and used by anyone, I thought that I would try to put it on Wikipedia, as many others may find it useful for managing their own stress levels, either in conjunction with prescribed medications or by itself.
The idea is that you concentrate on dying...
...pick whatever method you want to try and concentrate/ meditate on it. This is best done when laying down comfortably.
Methods that have worked well for myself and others include being shot in the stomache (ala 'reservoir dogs'), blood loss from a different source (perhaps vampire attack or severe injury) and lethal injection.
Once you have decided on your chosen method, try to ignore any imagine pain (meditation can make such things quite real) and concentrate on the other physiological effects that would occur.
By meditating on the drop in blood pressure, reduced heart rate and slowing of your breathing, you can convince yourself that you are loosing consciousness to the point of falling asleep.
You can write this up differently if you want to, I just know that others may find this very useful as an alternative to acts of suicide or taking medication to sleep.

- Well I really respect the filtering process - maintains integrity of Wikipedia. Now I am going to try to edit the page that was approved because I think the notability angle was missed. It that ok? Again thanks FeatherPluma.
Feedback from Ramyakr (2 February 2015)
- Did you find the instructions clear?
- Yes.
- How quickly was your submission reviewed?
- Took quite some time, about 4 weeks.
- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
- I feel a lot of genuine articles are not accepted as they are recommended for deletion by people who do not belong to that regions nor can verify vernacular language citations. I feel there should be a way to allow people to submit source first and the source should be verified by people who can read/write that language, rate the quality of the source and then allow it for linking to article.
Feedback from Novelismo (4 February 2015)
- Did you find the instructions clear?
- ... somewhat.
- How quickly was your submission reviewed?
- ... quick - within a day?
- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
- this was the first time I first-posted an article; it was copied from the Wikipedia DE via google translate page, and then reformatted only very slightly. I'll look at it soon -- tomorrow or tonight when and if I have time -- to improve the article's internal linking to the named musicians and other venues noted in the article. Also, when possible, I'll check the citations, but that will take longer since I don't own any of the referenced books. Novelismo (talk) 16:05, 4 February 2015 (UTC) Novelismo
Feedback from Hkandy (7 February 2015)
- Did you find the instructions clear?
Yes
- How quickly was your submission reviewed?
Quickly the first time, A couple of weeks for the second.
- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
Yes. 1) To avoid discouraging potential contributors, and thus keep Wikipedia growing, it would be good to rephrase the unaccepted message more politely and in a way that encourages improvements. Now it says "Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time." It would be better if it was " "Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Thank you for your contribution. Unfortunately, it needs some more work before it can be accepted."
2) To reduce the number of rejections, and therefore the workload of checking re-submissions, a checklist of minimum standards could be shown when creating a new page and before submitting a new page for review. If possible this could be partly filled in automatically; e.g. the software could check to see if there were any references in the article.
Feedback from Taemaya (10 February 2015)
- Did you find the instructions clear?
- Quite clear, but I am still adapting.
- How quickly was your submission reviewed?
- Fast, 2 hours maybe.
- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
- Yes, I felt bad with the speed deletion,of my first article, that it is the same that was submitted and accepted after. It would be better if it had been moved for draft folder or sandbox folder. I think wikipedia can lose a lot when someone try contribute in constructive way and a reviewer is aggressive with a speed deletion. The reviewers should before a speed deletion check if it really plagiarism, checking in wikipedia in others languages for google and checking if there are the same content in different blogs, because in my case, the article was a legend, and a legend can be tell in different ways but most often with same words, and more often they passes from father to son in oral contest, some are in books to refer others don't, those less elaborate aren't in book. So for a speed deletion I thing it would be done only after real checking.

The review process helped a lot to improve the article. It would have been a great support for the writer if the comments were more specific (eg. One comment was to avoid peacock terms; it would have been extremely helpful if the reviewer could point out few such cases in the draft). Anyway I would lie to thank the reviewers a lot for their voluntary work.

- When an article is nominated for deletion, automate the notification of watchers who have notifications turned on. The page I created was previously deleted and I discovered this process by chance (would have preferred a notification by e-mail). Just after my page was (re)created, a related page I worked on in tandem was nominated for deletion. This time, I was notified on my talk page (which is great :-). I would hope that all watchers were notified (at least those with notifications turned on). - K (talk) 01:16, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Feedback from Maybelline Ooi (26 March 2015)
- Did you find the instructions clear?
- Yes the instructions were clear on how to publish an article but it requires some effort at reading them and complying to the rules. Nevertheless, support that I obtained from the Wikipedia community helped me along. I enjoyed the process of getting feedbacks and improving on my work.
- How quickly was your submission reviewed?
- Some took much longer like a few weeks but some was rather quick, like within a few days.
- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
- I feel that perhaps more could be done to encourage people to return and contribute to the Wikipedia community. Such as introducing some community for new editors to learn from the experience of experienced editors.

- Did you find the instructions clear?
- yes
- How quickly was your submission reviewed?
- remarkably fast -- how in the world do you accomplish that!!
- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
- How about letting us ask a concrete question that we had and could not solve when drafting that particular text? Actually, that's why I tried the sandbox approach (I have already created several articles for Wikipedia, besides editing hundreds.)
With this text (Stalin Statue (Berlin)I had two problems I could not solve:
1. The photo with Stalin's ear is too large. How can I get it smaller than "thumb" -- which is the approach I always use unless I make a "gallery". I tried to find the answer, but it all seemed incredibly complicated and I chickened out. How about some simple command that doesn't require us to be image processing experts? like "smaller image" or "larger image" and you yourselves can put in the algorithm some reasonable values that will surely take care of most cases for us dummies.
2. There is a lot of unwanted space before the indented quote in my entry. There is none at all in the input version. How can I then get rid of it?
Many thanks in advance for any help. --Remotelysensed (talk) 16:50, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Feedback from Rayneet (11 July 2015)
- Did you find the instructions clear?
- Yes, the editor's instructions were clear and helpful.
- How quickly was your submission reviewed?
- The first time it took about five - six weeks but on the second submission after I'd made corrections it was accepted almost immediately. I want to thank LaMona for the excellent editing that she provided.
- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
- Generally, I would say that the process of locating information on how to proceed with all the requirements of creating an acceptable article is NOT user-friendly. I continually got lost in too much information. I don't even know how to contact the editor to say thank you.
Then the template for inserting citations was helpful but still needed correcting by the editor.
I think that I would need a "wiki for dummies" kind of page that sets out all the important steps to create a simple article. More advanced and experienced writers could go from there to all the other links.

Who the hell is going to have a computer dictate whether or not they are "somebody"? Freud didn't have the "approval" of a damned computer to tell him he was "worthy"! He simply lived a type of life to bring him into fame and public scrutiny. I will not rely on a computer to dictate my "value" as a human life.

- You've lumped my article on a memorial to fallen miners with the mining industry - can't fathom that. It seems to me it should be integrated into historical/memorial/monuments/markers.

- Too early for the article Joachim Bauer !Ventus55 (talk) 18:37, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
- It was not me submitting this article. It was User:DGG who moved the draft into the article room, without asking me previously. As an experienced user I'm aware how and when to move an article. Please avoid to do so again and do not move drafts out of my user area. In the German Wikipedia we have a sign called "Building site" which signals other users, that ana article is a draft under construction. Please let me know the equivalent in the English Wikipedia? Thanks a lot for your help.Ventus55 (talk) 18:37, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I encountered it, saw it had not been edited for 6 months, and chose to submit it. It meets the basic requirements: clear notability, no promotionalism, and no evidence of copyvio. It needs further work of course, but that can best be done in mainspace where others can see it also. Nobody owns a draft any more than they do an article, and all contributions are licensed irrevocably. The appropriate tag here is {{underconstruction}} but the usual interpretation is that it's good for a few days only, not the six months this had been there.
- But, Ventus55 (talk · contribs), next time, I'll just remind you. I was just so glad to see a decent article among all the junk that makes up the usual drafts ! DGG ( talk ) 22:12, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

- Did you find the instructions clear?
Yes
- How quickly was your submission reviewed?
First rejection was speedy, although it took a further 16 days after I had simply separated out the primary and secondary sources and resubmitted the article for it to be accepted, which was a little frustrating. However I found the process helpful, and somewhat better than starting an article which gets taken over whilst still incomplete by those keen to discuss non-notability and speedy deletion.
- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
I would recommend encouraging everyone who submits a WP:AfC to state what further enhancements they plan to make or add once the article has been approved. There is no point in 'busting a gut' to refine content if the entire article has the potential to be rejected on the grounds of neet meeting WP:Notability, but being able to indicate what further modifications the originator wants to make could be helpful for both creator and editor. Putting two new articles for consideration in this way, rather than simply creating them both from scratch in mainspace as I have done before was, I think, a helpful process to me. It also made me appreciate the superb efforts of everyone involved in considering and giving feedback to article creators.Parkywiki (talk) 20:33, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
Feedback from KravitzSchwarz (27 September 2015)
- Did you find the instructions clear?
- The editing process was confusing (for me), thus many more "edits" resulted from my trying to figure out how to insert/link references, insert pictures, etc. It would have been far easier, had there been an interaction template with set-by-step prompts.
- How quickly was your submission reviewed?
- Remarkably so, although the reviews appear inconsistent, i.e., some reviews reversing others.
- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
- The article was accepted unconditionally with a note saying that the subject definitely meets Wikipedia professional criteria, or some such thing. Then, unbeknownst to me (... until a week, or two later), a qualifier was added that stated more verification was needed. Agree, and tried to clarify- given the constraints of explaining the significance of a "real" (theoretical) mathematician's"" work.
Toward this end, an additional paragraph was added defining, more specifically the significance of the seminal research done by the subject. In the process, additional links were added. Shortly thereafter, a qualifier appeared at the top of the page indicating that the article "needs additional citations for verification-" whereas, the article had been accepted unconditionally (initially). At that point, I had no idea what the comment was referring to, as there are references galore and links at every stage of the article. Additional references are available to verify the authenticity of the subject. I've included some below, but my sense is that this is not what you want to appear in the article. If I'm wrong about that, please let me know:
There are a number of websites that track how many times an article is cited in a research journal, including Researchgate, MathsciNet and Zbmath.org. It’s not possible to discern whether the citings are duplicative, but according to Researchgate http://www.researchgate.net/publication/227163406_Lifting_smooth_homotopies_of_orbit_spaces, the article entitled Lifting homotopies from orbit spaces is cited in 151 journal articles and Schwarz ‘s work is cited in 985 journal articles overall http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Gerald_Schwarz. According to the website MathSciNet, http://ams.rice.edu.resources.library.brandeis.edu/mathscinet/mrcit/individual.html?mrauthid=157450&seeall, the article Lifting homotopies from orbit spaces is cited in 84 journal articles and Schwarz is cited 507 times by 373 authors overall. And, according to the website Zbmath https://zbmath.org/?q=an:0449.57009, the article entitled Lifting homotopies from orbit spaces is cited in 40 journal articles.
Additionally, on page 12 of the publication Fieldnotes, Fields Institute in Mathematical Science, Campbell and Wehlau write of Schwarz, “His seminal work Lifting smooth homotopies of orbit space in IHES marks the beginning of his interest in algebraic groups. He recognized that the solution of the homotopy/isotopy lifting problem required algebraic groups.”
In closing, please note that the comment questioning the subject's authenticity is a bit disconcerting, as it calls into question the legitimacy of his credentials. So, my "priority recommendations" are: (1) Please give more targeted feedback on what you're looking for, as generalized feedback can be quite confusing; and, (2) If the feedback provided is unwarranted, or once the request has been satisfied, please please please delete the statement with the huge question mark that reads: Please help by adding reliable sources... harmful. (i.e., in this case: verification of a subject's credentials) that appears at the the top of the article. I recognize that this statement may serve as a disclaimer for the website. If so, perhaps stating something to the effect that It's impossible to verify submissions...., would serve the same purpose. Thank you very much for this opportunity! Best Wishes

- Questions about basic coding were easily answered by looking at existing articles. I initially felt my reviewer's reasons for rejection were vague; however in figuring it out I both significantly improved the article and learned more about Wikipedia.

- Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
- Is there a simple generic "stub" article that authors could start with as a framework? One that would have title, sections, text, links to other Wikipedia entries, and properly written inline references containing links to sources? That would have made things a little quicker for me, but I couldn't find one.

Then, SwisterTwister informs me the next morning that the article was accepted, and I haven't made the error corrections yet. Why? This makes no sense.
