Assuming your question to be about Draft:Yatragenie, what do you wish to know? The reason it was pushed back to you was explained by the reviewer on the draft itself. Fiddle Faddle 08:19, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to submit my article as a stub to Benjamín Gutiérrez. I accidentally submitted it as a separate article. Can this be fixed?

It's already been fixed by User:Timtrent. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 13:56, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To Whom it may concern..

I was just wondering why my article for the Skellig Star Party was not accepted? It is going to become an annual event and helping people learn more about it was my main ambition.

Kind Regards Roy Stewart, Founder/Creator of the Skellig Star Party

PLease visit the draft and see the reasons given. It seems to me that you need a web site, not a Wikipedia article, though. And social media. Fiddle Faddle 14:03, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 15:35:39, 28 October 2014 for assistance on AfC submission by Chulsey edit


Hello,

I am a marketing intern for Bellingham Marine. I have been assigned to creating a Wikipedia and after putting in some time to create one, it was declined. I tried to follow the directions and make sure to not to talk in first person. I also thought that I was participating in copyright infringement. If I could have some head, or get pointed in the direction of some guidance, I would appreciate that immensely.

Thanks!

Please tell your boss that Wikipedia is not his or her plaything, and that we will only have an article on the outfit if it can be shown to be notable. Thank you for declaring your connection, which is the correct thing to do. Getting the draft accepted depends on how well you can take and implement advice. I'll put some thoughts on the draft itself. Fiddle Faddle 15:53, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The issue with a conflict of interest is that you're not an objective contributor. This draft is a bunch of rah-rah promotional nonsense. The changes you would need to make for this draft to be acceptable to Wikipedia would probably make it unacceptable to the company itself. You should tell your boss to hire a Wikipedian for a job like this. Chris Troutman (talk) 04:20, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
