February 12

[edit]

I want my article to be reviewed. I click "Save Page" and it goes back to the "This article is not pending a review" page. I don't understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gordondrt (talkcontribs) 08:19, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it for you. You did not close your references. You had two <ref> but no </ref>. — Wyliepedia 08:42, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

hello,

This is the first article i've contributed to wikipedia. The article is about a particular person (brian timoney - the Uks foremost method acting coach - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Brian_Timoney). the article has been rejected twice due to lack of citation. I'm not sure which facts need verifying. Also, all information cam from brian himself, not external sources. perhaps you could let me know how to best go about backing up these facts.

many thanks,

Surely everyone knows what a pile on is? A bit of fun too? I won't be resubmitting, there is nothing further to add for now - I will leave it to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.111.208.94 (talk)

I am unsure whether my article has actually been submitted. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Francena H. Arnold

At the bottom of the page is this message: "Review waiting. "This submission is waiting to be reviewed. This may take up to a week. The Articles for creation process is highly backlogged. Please be patient."

That seems to indicate that the page has submitted. It has been more than a week (we’re on Day 9), which may be because of the backlog. But I also wonder if a message at the top is preventing its review. At the top of the page, a box says: "Article not currently submitted for review. "This is a draft Articles for creation submission. It is not currently pending review. There is no deadline, you can take your time writing this draft."

Can you tell me whether my article will be reviewed as it should, or can I do something to remove that confusing message?

  • You article is in the queue of those to be reviewed. There is a substantial backlog of over 1,000 articles to review, and a week is only a cursory estimate - articles that have a substantial amount of references may take longer to check. However, having had a look at the article, I would say it is unlikely to pass in its current state, as most of the references are email transcripts (which are generally not verifiable), or articles by Arnold. What we need, though, is articles about Arnold. One also has to ask, if Not My Will really is a "classic" as described, why don't we have an article for it?

Hi, i've updated my article some days ago but i don't think it's being reviewed again. Maybe i did something wrong. I would like to know whether it is acceptable now and if not, what should be added / adjusted. Thank you in advance.

  • Your article was in the submission queue, but had a few reference tags that were not correctly formatted, that prevented the submission box from appearing. I've fixed these. I've unfortunately had to decline the submission, as a number of references were actually to other Wikipedia articles, which just leaves the three remaining ones. Of those, the best reference in The Guardian doesn't actually mention VSI. The claim to have received an Emmy Award would be a good reason to pass the article, but it's not cited to a source as present. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:51, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When the article will be reviewed and posted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbhemalatha (talkcontribs) 15:39, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
