Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Crisella Actually i wanted to change the very first headline i mean the bold line(heading) of my article so u dont mind sir please help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crisella (talkcontribs) 10:26, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article already exists at Charles Dickens. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 10:38, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I have submitted the following article on two occasions and it has been rejected both times. The first version only had one reference, the second version had three references.

I would like to make the following points:

1) There are already 12 Wikipedia articles detailing the history of rugby union matches between Scotland and other nations.

2) None of the published articles has more than two references, some have none.

3) Rugby Union is a global sport, played and watched by millions.

4) On that basis the notability of the article is axiomatic.

5) How many references do I need to make this article 'notable'?

I left a perfectly polite message on the talk page of SL93, the second reviewer, similar to above; who appears to have taken exception to my comments and deleted my message.

Could someone please respond to my query.

Thank you.

I passed it as a routine summary/list page - next time please do not use AFC, create the page directly in mainspace. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:33, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, your submission has been accepted by another reviewer. On Wikipedia, the term 'notability' references our policy on notability. Your first two points would fall under WP:OTHERSTUFF and in relation to point 5, there is no set number but coverage of the subject should broadly comply with this summary of three of our core content policies: WP:VRS.

I have now included the infobox. thanks for your help. But I wanted to know how can I upload and place a logo in the infobox. — Preceding unsigned comment added by INST, Mohali (talkcontribs) 11:32, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tone down the lead section, it reads like it was written by the institute's marketing department. If you would like to upload an image, please visit WP:FFU. Also, your username violates our username policy, you need to create a new account that only represents you as an individual or request a change of username.

Hello, I submitted a biography for publication a few weeks ago. Is there any way to expedite the submission review process? I'm writing regarding [Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/David Adedeji Adeleke]

Thanks

There is generally a backlog of over 1000+ articles to review, so you may have to wait some time. In the case of your article, a music artist selling 1.2 million copies would probably have reached some sort of chart placing or sales certification, which satisfy criteria 2 and 3 of our notability guidelines for musicians and hence would allow the submission to be accepted. However, we cannot accept such a submission unless the sales claims are verified by a reliable source such as a trade newspaper or magazine, Billboard is such a source in the United States. A further problem is your article is full of puffery and peacock terms, such as "Davido is often seen as a sex symbol." These should simply be removed from the submission.

Reviewed and declined, see comment therein. Pol430 talk to me 17:10, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I submitted an article about a week and a half ago and was just wondering how long it takes for Wikipedia to review articles. Phil Harris11 (talk) 14:02, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is generally a backlog of around 1,000+ articles, and it can take several weeks for submissions to be accepted. In the case of your article, I'm afraid I have had to decline it as it reads too much like an advertisement. You should aim to look for nationwide news, magazine or book coverage that talks about the company, and does so in some depth. Sorry. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:34, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a borderline case. It really depends whether Marshall Capital (no wiki article, Marshall Capital is unrelated) is significant enough that its managing director has sufficient notability for a standalone page. The submission is 11 days old, so we should really make up our minds one way or another here. Thoughts? --LukeSurl t c 16:20, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was curious why this article isn't up and why the pictures the author requested I download--and did so--are being used. Is there any question about the contents?

The article wasn't submitted for review; I have submitted it for you. However, it will need quite a bit of work, especially regarding the references. The most obvious issue is that Wikipedia does not consider itself a reliable source. Also, you should use footnotes to clarify which of the references supports which of the draft's statements - see WP:Referencing for beginners on how to easily create nicely-formatted footnotes. Furthermore, sources such as the New York Times book review that mentioned Schlaifer's name without writing a single sentence about him or his book won't really help. I haven't checked all sources, so some of the others may be better, but you should take a look at what Wikipedia considers reliable source - even at a glance many of yours seem problematic.
Regarding the images, for all I can tell they were deleted from the Commons on copyright grounds. There was a reply at the Commons help desk back in March. Huon (talk) 20:57, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
