02:25:33, 19 December 2014 request for review by Amandalynnhernandez edit


I have tried submitting this page numerous times and it has proven quite challenging. As I am new to wikipedia submissions I am curious as to whether you might be able to provide me any help. I would be immensely grateful as I am trying to get tis page up and running by the New Year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/David_A._Hafler

@Amandalynnhernandez: I have submitted the page on your behalf, but the Articles for Creation process is severely backlogged and reviews can take 4-6 weeks. It is unlikely to be up by the New Year. --Ahecht (TALK

04:20:10, 19 December 2014 review of submission by Lucifer.Evan edit 

I want to know how I can make this article better and my professional? Where I get my resources and references?

@Lucifer.Evan: - I have nominated your draft for deletion. As a parent myself, I can say with some conviction that in ten years time you will not be happy about your self-appraised reputation as a graffiti artist to be picked up by search engines.

  Done I uploaded the logo of the The Breteau Foundation several days ago, but now it was deleted and I cannot upload anymore. Could you tell me how to fix that?

thanks.

Ireneirene2006 (talk) 06:41, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ireneirene2006, logos cannot be added until a draft has officially published, for copyright reasons. See WP:Logo for more info. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:25, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear sir/madam,

I submitted an article (December 2nd), but accidentally changed something (December 9th). Is the article still on its way for approval? I can imagine that this process takes a lot of time, hope it's there before 2015!

Kind regards, Peter-Paul Ppmzwetsloot (talk) 11:03, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ppmzwetsloot: Your article is still queued. As Prof. Chamuleau is an associate professor at UMC Utrecht and is verified to have published over 75 peer-review papers, he meets our notability guidelines for academics. The article is now in mainspace at Steven Chamuleau. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:25, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

12:32:34, 19 December 2014 review of submission by Tts22 edit

Hi, I submitted an article for review on Nov 19th. It's my first one. It hasn't been reviewed yet. Are things still backed up or did I do something incorrectly? I can imagine that it takes lot of time because of severe backlogs, hope it's there before 2015! Also can we check our article in terms of where it is stacked up for review (in terms of numbers).Can we track that?

Best Regards

Tts22 (talk) 12:32, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ts22: Your article is still queued for submission and has not been reviewed. In its current state, I would be unlikely to accept it, because it only cites two press releases, which are not acceptable as reliable and independent sources that you need to show encyclopedic importance.

Embedded images are easy when you know how!


I have not been able to figure out how to insert my pictures into the page from the commons. I have a problem with the location, sizing, and getting the caption to come with it. I have tried the embedding and the gallery but the only way I get the picture in is pasting the code and then it ends up in the right edge smack on my text. I have searched every available tutorial but it only tells me how to upload my pictures into the commons but not how to get them from there on to the page.Probably somewhere I have skipped a step some place. Jack van Ommen (talk) 12:49, 19 December 2014 (UTC) Jack van Ommen (talk) 12:49, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Jack van Ommen: The picture you have added is in the correct syntax, you just need to put it in the appropriate place in the article. If you want it to appear at the top (which is consistent with most articles), simply put the image code at the top of the article. Edit this reply to see an example of a thumbnail image embedded in a page. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:53, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

i wonder if my text is well submited? Pedrolixa (talk) 18:06, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Pedrolixa: Nope. It's taken directly from the app store. We're not here to advertise. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:12, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

22:00:12, 19 December 2014 review of submission by Cauleycw edit


I have worked with several wiki users to make considerable changes to my initial draft. I am on an end of year timeline to get this draft approved and would sincerely appreciate a re-review in order to get the current draft approved. Cauleycw (talk) 22:00, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Cauleycw:   Declined I left comments on the draft so you should read those. Be advised that there is no deadline and nobody here cares. Making an appeal to us based on your hurry is not the way to go. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:10, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I certainly apologize for coming off as intrusive or demanding. I understand this is a volunteer community and certainly appreciate the hard work and dedication of its volunteers. This is the first article of this nature I have written and am open to feedback and certainly hope to take steps towards getting approval for the article.Cauleycw (talk) 22:14, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No offense taken. We see this sort of approach often at this help desk. I'd recommend you start with independent reliable sources and write based on those alone. If you can't write an article based on those then you're out of luck. Other sources can be used to flesh out the draft but you have to have your eye on notability. You might also consider trying the reward board to solicit help. If you know people in media, get them to write an article (but not an interview) about the subject.
