You haven't yet submitted the draft for review. Do you have a specific question? I think that it needs more in-line references. Also, put his dates of birth and death in the lede sentence. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:41, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

08:05:20, 4 July 2016 review of draft by Blwhite[edit]


I'm writing a new page for an old card game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Huckleybuck I'm having trouble with the links showing up properly. For example: 

   1994 saw the creation of the Huckley Buck Association.

It should be 

   1994 saw the creation of the International Huckley Buck Association.

The links seem to work properly, just don't display correctly. Also see the Auction Pitch link.

I'm open to any other advice toward making this article acceptable.

MOTIVATION I am in no way associated with the Association. I play Huckleybuck, and pass it on to others. I've been frustrated that I couldn't find the rules to the game anywhere until a few months ago. Then this week, I was teaching some new player and couldn't find the rules again. Seems to me that it should be listed on your page for 

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trick-taking_games

That is my end goal. In fact, the players who taught me to play said, "You'll never find the rules for this game on the internet" because they didn't know that the international association or the rules page existed. Blwhite (talk) 08:05, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The first paragraph of the draft contains external links. They are not permitted. Improve the formatting. Some of the paragraphs begin with a space, which puts them in boxes. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:44, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

11:43:50, 4 July 2016 review of submission by IsaacAdom



I have been editing and re-submitting my article "David Iornem". When I dream of horses advised me to change the tone of the article I did. Please I need help as I have submitted the article as a draft. Kind regards, Isaac. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IsaacAdom (talk • contribs) 11:43, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Want to delete an image that I uploaded with Upload Wizard. Eventually I used a different image, so the original is now an orphan image. I'd like to delete it. How do I do that?

Thanks.

Hi SurveyorMJF. I believe you could use speedy deletion criterion G7. Give it a try. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:24, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
