October 6[edit]

Request on 03:18:30, 6 October 2014 for assistance on AfC submission by 174.50.191.15[edit]


I was not trying to create, I thought I was submitting an edit to an existing page that contained incomplete and erroneous information. My submission was intended to modify (Edit) the last line on this entry; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayfield_Brewery I have not attempted to edit a Wiki page before and help in correcting the errors would be appreciated. Daniel V Klevesahl 174.50.191.15 (talk) 03:18, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Daniel. Please proceed to click Edit at the top of the article Mayfield Brewery and change it as appropriate. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 11:56, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

07:47:39, 6 October 2014 review of submission by Dickersonmoney[edit]


Hi, Can I just check that my article is definitely waiting for review please? Also, can I make amends to the article while I'm waiting for review? The references I attached didn't seem to work properly so I just want to know if I can amend this while I'm waiting. However, does this mean I will have to re-submit and go back to the end of the queue.

Many thank Tracy Dickersonmoney (talk) 07:47, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Amend away. Edits may be made at any time, but please do not submit items with errors in future
  2. You seem to have two accounts, Dickersonmoney and TDickerson101 and have forgotten about Draft:Money.co.uk when editing Draft:Money.co.uk (2). Please ensure you abandon one of these accounts completely, or declare that they are linked accounts. If unsure how to do this please deploy {{Helpme}} on the talk page of the one you wish to be your main account and state the issue clearly, linking to the other account and someone will help you.
  3. Draft:Money.co.uk (2) is submitted for review. Draft:Money.co.uk is not
The references, currently, are insufficient. We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. It will be pushed back to you at its review unless you handle this. Fiddle Faddle 08:10, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, while we will seek to ensure that your massive WP:COI on this draft doe snot impact the eventual article adversely, you should note that you are a paid editor, and that we deprecate paid editing unless handled in very particular ways. You also need to be 100% certain that you are not going to use one account per PR campaign. This will get you blocked, as will attempts at spamming us on your clients' matters. Wikipedia is not personal or corporate web space. Fiddle Faddle 08:18, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

10:04:09, 6 October 2014 request for review by Rahara The Amazing Place

Dickersonmoney/TDickerson101 The second draft has been deleted, both due to its promotional tone and due to its superfluity while Draft:Money.co.uk is out there. Please choose which account you are going to edit from; fully disclose your conflict of interest and status as a paid editor; and make your edits to the proposed article, after reading WP:PROMOTION and WP:COI. --Orange Mike | Talk 12:46, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rahara The Amazing Place (talk) 10:04, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Draft:Rahara the amazing place is not currently submitted for review. To submit it for review, add {{subst:submit}} to the top of it. The review process can take several weeks. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 11:55, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

no Declined - not suitable to be an encyclopedia article. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 16:23, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

15:03:17, 6 October 2014 review of submission by Darrent71[edit]

My article has been declined, not sure why? Darrent71 (talk) 15:03, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the draft page itself, Draft:Belfast Olympic Handball Club, for the reasons why the draft was declined. The links in the decline reason provide more information. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 16:22, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

17:24:17, 6 October 2014 review of submission by Latency24[edit]


Am confused as to why the article was not accepted. Wireless Maritime Services (wmsatsea.com) is an ongoing business that does business all over the world. It is completely unclear why the business wouldn't justify a mention in Wikipedia as it is the market leader in it's segment, noting that I did not put that into the document so as not to read like a marketing piece.

Latency24 (talk) 17:24, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I am not an AfC reviewer but I am still willing to help you :) I would even be willing to edit your draft a bit, if that's okay with you? I can add some secondary sources (as suggested by the reviewer) and also do some linking to prevent your article from being an orphan and a deadend. Is it okay for me to edit your draft? If it's not then I can leave the sources and instructions on your talk page. Rayna Jaymes (talk) 17:36, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Latency24: The reviewer already left sufficient comment on the draft, so you should read that. Also, please accept that just because you believe something to be so doesn't mean it is so. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:02, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

19:14:51, 6 October 2014 review of submission by Shir-El too[edit]


I would like to add a screen-shot to the sand-boxed draft article Muriel Hutchinson but get lost in the dos and don'ts as well as the mechanics of doing it. I believe the image to be legitimate under the 'fair use' clause.

Shir-El too 19:14, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For fair use to be applicable, the page would need to be a Wikipedia article... that is, your sandbox draft needs to be accepted first. So it is better to concentrate on improving the sandbox draft to the point where it can be accepted, rather than worrying about the screen-shot at this stage.

19:22:02, 6 October 2014 review of submission by Novemberflower[edit]


Hi I'm not a seasoned programmer, or very good with code at all. This is a page request for Shane Stay, author, entrepreaneur. I am required to submit this for my work however, as I said, I am not the most competent person to understand the necessities on Wiki's pages for creation. I request for someone to help with this. Thank you very much.

Novemberflower (talk) 19:22, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We offer advice, and we review drafts. It is very unlikely that anyone will write this for you. Please note that you have a major conflict of interest. Wikipedia is not for Mr Stay to exploit in order to boost his notability, whether by his hand or by yours. Fiddle Faddle 19:38, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

20:45:21, 6 October 2014 review of submission by Bemporad[edit]

Hello, this article was submitted on August 28, hence almost 6 weeks ago. I'd just want to ask when do you think that the article will be reviewed? Thank you in advance, regards. Bemporad (talk) 20:45, 6 October 2014 (UTC) Bemporad (talk) 20:45, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When a reviewer who feels competent to review it happens by, I'm afraid. Fiddle Faddle 22:00, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

21:52:30, 6 October 2014 review of submission by Helen7274[edit]

Hello Fiddle Faddle (or other)

Can you please advise whether, when resubmitting my draft, it joins the back of the queue as though it were a new submission? If that's the case, if I resubmit it now, can I continue editing it knowing that it will be a while before it is looked at?

thanks and regards, helen Helen7274 (talk) 21:52, 6 October 2014 (UTC) Helen7274 (talk) 21:52, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Helen7274: The concept of a queue is notional at best. While it is likely that your resubmission will wait for a reviewer the fact that you are posting here makes it more likely that it will be looked at faster than that. Always continue to improve it, even after submission, but no-one can say how long a review will take. Me? I would risk it. Fiddle Faddle 21:59, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

22:58:02, 6 October 2014 review of submission by 82.12.252.254[edit]

This page was declined and I need some advice as to why? 82.12.252.254 (talk) 22:58, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It seems you visited the draft and read and removed the advice. Please go and read it again. I have restored it to you. If you do not understand it, eother ask the reviewer or come here and ask for a precise explanation. Fiddle Faddle 08:53, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
no Declined again, with very specific advice. It's on the draft. Fiddle Faddle 08:57, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]



I have added a reviews section and more sources... I hope this solves the issue. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.255.234.208 (talk) 11:59, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
