editHello there I am trying to write my first Wikipedia article on a new aerospace company, I cannot seem to get the references to work and also was hoping to upload a couple of pictures...Can you assist? Nowotny1945 (talk) 10:38, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- The references seem fine for now; you seem to understand how to add footnotes.
- Because this draft is not yet an actual article, pictures can only be added if they are "free content" (see a list of free licenses). If the image is not released under a free license, it can only be uploaded after the article is accepted.
- If you have free-content pictures, you can head to Wikimedia Commons to upload them. Anon126 (talk - contribs) 21:31, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Your help needed
editHello I edited the Sadaka Reut section, following feedback I got from Wiki, but haven't heard anything from your editors.
When can I expect to get feedback?

- Your article has not been resubmitted. Click the "Resubmit" button in the notice at the top to do so. Keep in mind, though, that currently there is a severe backlog, so, even after you resubmit it, it may take a long time to get a response.
- You can improve on it further in the meantime. Many of the external links can be transformed into additional references. You can also see the cheatsheet for some basic code. Anon126 (talk - contribs) 21:38, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/American Journal of Experimental and Clinical Research
editDear Sir/Madam,
I have created my submission according to the reviewer's comments but my references do not connect with external websites. I checked Wikipedia referencing for biginners but I could not understand what exactly I should do to correct it. Please let me know what to do.
Best regards,
Sincerely, M. Ghazizadeh Ajecr (talk) 14:04, 23 February 2014 (UTC)M.GhazizadehAjecr (talk) 14:04, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- If you cannot find sources that are independent of the journal, then it may just be too soon for Wikipedia to have an article on it, because it lacks notability in the Wikipedia sense.
- If you have found some sources, add citations to them by following this quick guide below:
| Inline citation code; what you type in 'edit mode' | What it produces when you save |
Two separate citations.<ref>Citation text.</ref><ref>Citation text2.</ref>
Multiple Referencesedit{{reflist}} |
Two separate citations.[1][2]
Multiple[3] citation[3] use.[3] References
|
Templates that can be used between <ref>...</ref> tags to format your references

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Sixthousandmiles
Hello,
I drafted this article some time ago, have made several edits but struggled to get it approved.
I got an email 2 days ago saying my article, that took me ages to learn how to produce, was scheduled for deletion. I went in and asked that we be given the opportunity to try and edit it again to get it through but it has been deleted anyway.
I have now gone through the process of requesting it is reinstated but not sure what happens now, how long it takes or what I should do next.
Thanks for your help. 16:15, 23 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sixthousandmiles (talk • contribs)
- Hello Sixthousandmiles. Usually, undeletion requests are handled within a day. To prevent deletion in the future, you must be actively trying to improve the draft and respond to all concerns made by reviewers. The administrator who deleted your draft noted that it was excessively promotional. Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a wide range of reliable sources that independent of the subject of the article. Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and you should write your article as such. Mz7 (talk) 21:19, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi, could someone take a look at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jonah Berger?
I've been trying to get it published for months now. Any help getting it through would be great. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.157.176.178 (talk) 20:42, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- Because the subject of the article is a living person it must comply with more stringent rules and requirements than articles about other types of topics. References in articles about living people must be in the form of inline footnotes so that a reader can see what statement in the article is supported by what citation. The review I have just done has left a template (the top pink box) that contains links to pages with guidance on how to fix the problem. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 21:03, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) I've changed the URLs into wikilinks.
- Your article was just declined because it does not meet the minimum standard for inline citatations. In particular, Wikipedia has a policy on information about living people, which states that any information "challenged or likely to be challenged" about a living person must be supported by an inline citation, not just a source listed at the end. (Consult the links for more information, or reply below if you have any more questions.) Anon126 (talk - contribs) 21:13, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
