00:47:51, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Avijit.gangopadhyay

edit

I submitted a new article on "Feature Models in Oceanography" with References. The Article needs SIX (6) Figures. How do I inset Figures in the Sandbox?

And, the references seemed have lost their formatting while "copying and pasting" in the Sandbox. Please let me know if I am supposed to enter a blank line between each references.

Thank you for your assistance. Also, please suggest if any improvements to the article (format, fonts, placement of figures etc.) can be done to make it reader-friendly. Avijit.gangopadhyay (talk) 00:47, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Avijit.gangopadhyay: Be advised I moved your submission to Draft:Oceanographic feature models so you may remove the redirect from your sandbox if you wish. I also made your long list of references bulleted, to reduce confusion. See WP:CITE to learn how to cite sources in Wikipedia. To add figures, use the file upload wizard. Once your image is added, you can insert the image into the draft. I've invited you to try the Wikipedia Adventure to learn the coding you'll need to better write articles.
I'm concerned about your draft because it looks like you're recreating the work of Avijit Gangopadhyay. Be advised that Wikipedia cannot host copyrighted work, even if you wrote the original. Read our guide on donating material if you own the copyright to the works you're using if you have copied from them substantially. Your draft is also very technical, so you want to write for the average Wikipedia reader. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:14, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

thanks,


paul


Nvoltz (talk) 05:26, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Paul, image files need to be uploaded to Wikipedia or Wikimedia first - see the "Upload file" link to the left of your screen. You can also get advice at Wikipedia:Uploading images and Wikipedia:Picture tutorial. However, please wait for your article to be approved before adding images, to avoid any issues with copyright.

Dickersonmoney (talk) 09:45, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I'm trying to submit an entry for money.co.uk, it's the fifth largest comparison website in the UK. It sits behind, Moneysupermarket.co.uk, GoCompare, uSwtich and Compare the Market - all of which have Wiki pages which we'd like to link to. There is very little information in the public domain about money.co.uk as they have never carried out PR or advertising activity so I feel wiki is a great place if people want information about the business. It is a genuine website with 2.5 million visitors a month.

Could you please advise me of what I need to do to get this uploaded?

Many thanks Tracy

Hi Tracy, your explanation speaks for itself. If Money.co.uk has not publicised itself, it will be difficult to prove it is widely known, which is a basic requirement before getting a Wikipedia profile. If you are connected to the company, maybe you could suggest they begin to market themselves, rather than use Wikpedia as a shortcut. Sionk (talk) 10:01, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

10:48:46, 7 August 2014 review of draft by Odubhain

edit


I submitted this article weeks ago and feel unsure as to whether it is in the queue for review or not. The two notifications in the draft seem to contradict one another. What is its status?

Odubhain (talk) 10:48, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is safely queued for review. Fiddle Faddle 21:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Odubhain: And it has been subsequently   Declined. First, half of the article is a long listing of every podcast and brief activity the subject has ever done, which violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Due to a general lack of independent and reliable sources, there's no evidence subject passes general notability or nobility criteria specific to authors. This is just another sad promotional attempt. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:27, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

14:03:27, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Françoise Very

edit


Good morning. I just submitted an article (Sara Holt). Now, where can I start working on a new one ? Can I cleanup my personal sandbox without loosing the submitted atricle ? Thank you.

Françoise Very (talk) 14:03, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Françoise Very - The simplest way to work on more than one draft at a time is to simply create another sandbox page. Create a link on your main userpage that looks like this - [[User:Françoise Very/Name of the new article]] - then you click on that (red) link and start the new draft. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:26, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So obvious when known about. Thank you.Françoise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Françoise Very (talk • contribs) 08:16, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

14:42:48, 7 August 2014 request for review by Charlotte.E.Francis

edit


My initial submission for Education and Training Foundation was declined. We have updated as per feedback but cannot find a way to resubmit the page. Please can this be reviewed and hopefully published.

THis is because you deleted the review history. I have reinstated it. It contains the resubmit button. Fiddle Faddle 20:59, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

18:15:47, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Taareybholanogelonakichhutey

edit

Kindly tell me why my page can't be made into an article... It's a legitimate bengali feature film censored by CBFC India. Kindly give me the reasons... Thanks. Taareybholanogelonakichhutey (talk) 18:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You seem not to have read the comment left on the draft by the reviewer. Please read this and then return here or to the reviewer with any queries. Fiddle Faddle 20:54, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

18:36:15, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Mehitabel99

edit


I recently submitted an article for review titled "Pratch & Company, Inc." I may have submitted the same article twice. Will this create confusion, or will the second submission take the place of the first? Thank you for your assistance.


Mehitabel99 (talk) 18:36, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All is fine. Your draft resides at Draft:Pratch & Company Fiddle Faddle 21:03, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

20:24:27, 7 August 2014 review of draft by Lkt1970

edit


I submitted a draft for review, and when I went back to double check, the page read that it wasn't submitted yet. I pressed Save Edits to submit, but I am still having trouble. I submitted my draft nearly 2 weeks ago, I believe, and was hoping to have some response by now, but still nothing. So again, when I went back to double check, it said my draft wasn't submitted for review, so I followed the steps, and it said it saved, but I'm weary now.

Any help? Lkt1970 (talk) 20:24, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Lkt1970:   Declined because it doesn't meet either our notability criteria for movies our our general notability rule. The movie hasn't been reviewed by either Roger Ebert, Rotten Tomatoes, or the other usual suspects which leads me to believe it's not notable. You have only one good reference, The Globe and Mail, but that's really it. (I don't know how reliable Canadian Jewish News is.) I found this one brief mention in a journal. Also, it reads promotionally and doesn't even cover necessary issues like plot, film release details, etc. Finally, rather than create a new article, develop the content at Maria Altmann#Legacy, Republic of Austria v. Altmann#Documentaries, or Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I#Film where it already exists. As you build a better section on the film, fork that content into a new article.

22:15:44, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Odubhain

edit


I'd like some more information as to why all the citations in the article I submitted were summarily dismissed as "references" and said to be from the same sources. Actually about 85% of the citations were from publishers, newspaper articles, television show episodes, other people's interviews of the subject, and merchants (like Amazon and iStore, etc.), I know that Wikipedia is on a "notable" kick right now so I removed those references until I have a better feel for what sets off people's "hot buttons" there and would like a fair and impartial new review or some more detailed reasons as to why perfectly good references and citations are being rejected. If I put more citations in the article than I already have, then it will be mostly citations and no meat. I'm certain that is not what anyone would want to read. Odubhain (talk) 22:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

23:40:56, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Odubhain

edit

I'm clear as to why the notable section was rejected even though I disagree with the general approach. I've removed that section entirely and do not believe that there is much wrong with the rest of the submission as it is modeled after several similar pages that are already published on Wikipedia. It is better than some and not as good as others and the citations are as valid as any others. Odubhain (talk) 23:40, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
