editHi,
the article I submitted was declined and I was wondering if you could advise me as to why and how to get it approved.
I've moved the link to the title. Anon126 (talk - contribs)

- The main reasons are given at the top of the page. In short, you have not shown notability, which generally means that other people have written about or otherwise discussed it. (See the general guideline, the specific guideline for organizations, and the specific guideline for Web content. Notability can be demonstrated by meeting any one of these.) If you can find outside reliable sources of information that discuss this website, please add them to the article. (See the introduction to referencing or referencing for beginners for more information on how to add sources.)
- The article should also be changed to reflect a neutral point of view in order to be accepted. Such terms as "innovative" and "powerful" are known as "peacock terms" and discouraged if they are not credited to an independent source of information.

article creation
editDear Sir, Madam
My name is Avi Tawil. I'm the director of European Jewish Community Centre (EJCC), a non-profit organisation based in Brussels, Belgium, that promotes culture.
As the EJCC is an very active organisation, which hots lots of cultural events, I'd like to create an article on wikipedia with our history. I've been trying to create an article since a few months, but it's has been very difficult to do it, and there is always a different problem with it... which is quite frustrating. It's hard for me to understand what's the real issue, as other organisations do have a wikipedia article. So why can't I have a wikipedia article about my organisation ?
The last thing I read is that I should mention my relation with the organisation, which is not a problem, but then it wasn't written how I should proceed.
I'll deeply appreciate if you help me to create an article on the EJCC.
Thanks in advance for your time and attention!
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best regards,
Avi Tawil EJCC Director — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avitawil (talk • contribs) 11:04, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hello Avi. Wikipedia does not have articles about all organisations, even ones that are very active with lots of cultural events. In addition, even if an article exists about another organisation, that does not mean that such an article is a model for what is needed to be accepted as a new article.
- Even with your Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, you could write your article at articles for creation - Wikipedia:Articles for creation which would hopefully mean that the article draft does not need to be deleted each time it is rejected. Instead, you could work to improve it and overcome each problem. One thing to avoid doing is copying and pasting material from your organisation's own website (or anywhere else) into the article draft.
- Before starting, read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners to see how to references your sources, and Wikipedia:VRS to see what sort of sources are needed to prove notability. The latter point is the most frequent problem. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 11:14, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- Actually it seems you could continue improving your existing draft at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/European Jewish Community Centre and resubmit it when ready. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 11:36, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
I have written an article for review about Bavarian Autosport but I cannot figure out how to submit it?
Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bavarian Autosport
Any help is much appreciated!

- Put {{subst:submit}} at the top of the page and then save the page. This will submit it for review, although you could have a long wait as there are thousands of submissions waiting at the moment. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 15:12, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello,
I'm just making sure that my article is in the queue, which I know is very long. I initially had two edits done, and then perormed the updates. Not having heard back from the editor, I'm presuming we're ready to go, or at least be put in the queue. Is this the case?
Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/National Guitar Museum

- Yes that page is still pending review. It's fine to edit the page while it's awaiting review (so long as you don't remove the submission template) and doing so will not delay the review. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 16:46, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
1) SUB-HEAD SIZE: My subheads look too small in preview. When the article is saved, will they be the same (larger) size in the final published version? Or do I do it, and if so, how?
2) UNDERLINED SUB-HEADS: How do a put the "bar" or underline beneath a sub-head? No underlines occur beneath sub-heads in my preview. Is this automatic or do I do it, and if the latter, how?
3) HYPERLINKED REFERENCES. I cite articles as references. How do I hyperlink the title of the article itself? Right now I've got the article title followed by the url of the story. James Weed (talk) 19:36, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
