Hi,

its just an article and i think have enough references to be published on Wikipedia. I guess, nobility of the references is not required for the general articles, is that?

I have left a comment on your draft. It tells you that it is not suitable for Wikipedia and explains why.
With regard to references, no, the standard is never reduced. Excellence of referencing is always required. Fiddle Faddle 11:31, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My article has been reviewed, but rejected on the basis of reading more like an advertisement. I have tried to make it as generic as possible, but did want to highlight the original product - perhaps similar to the 'cola' article that mentions Coke. Should I take out all reference to 'Elveden' in the Instant Hedging article, where it is mentioned twice. Many thanks for your assistance, from a first time contributor!

@Pracbrown: Hello, thanks for dropping by! I agree that there is a promotional tone to the piece. In particular, I think the paragraph about Elveden's instant hedge should probably be excised. If the article is about instant hedges in general, then this section seems out of place, as it is devoted to only one instant hedge "brand", promoting them through words like "unusual", references to "demand increas[ing]", and repeated use of the brand's name.
I'd also consider getting rid of the "Why an Instant Hedge" section. This kind of pros-and-cons list looks good on a company website, but it doesn't quite mesh with Wikipedia's encyclopedic point of view requirements, and I'm not sure whether it adds much value to the article, especially given its lack of sources. There's also a referencing issue in the "importance of hedgerows" section, as there are some claims made here that aren't backed up by sources, like the suggestion that instant hedges can help reduce the greenhouse effect. While this is likely true on a trivial level, I'm not sure it's worth mentioning, and either way it will need some sort of citation to back it up.
Work on tightening up the draft, or consider discussing on the Hedge talk page whether portions of this content might be better suited for inclusion in the Hedge article. Other reviewers may want to chime in with their suggestions too. /wia /tlk 14:36, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm trying to get a page accepted for Riot Jazz Brass Band. I have submitted twice and been turned down by the reviewer SwisterTwister. As far as I can see, I am meeting the notability requirements and I have included lots of references but apparently I'm still falling short. Could anyone give me any specific feedback about my page? Am I close to being accepted? It's my first page so would really appreciate any help that anyone can give me!

Hello, I have been trying to post a page for a business, but all of the articles I have posted have been questioned for notability. The business has been up for 4 years, and is a certified business. I would like to know what else I would need to do to be published on Wikipedia, as I have sent many articles to be reviewed.

Thank You, Nicolas DeCubas

@Miamicd11: Hi, the article has been accepted into the mainspace and can be viewed by anyone from the public. There's no requirement for an article to be in a certain class in order for it to be seen. If you search "West End (Florida) in the Wikipedia search bar, the article should appear.
As for search engines, Wikipedia doesn't control where its articles appear in search engine rankings. That's done by algorithms run by the search engine companies themselves. However, if you search "west end (florida) inurl:wikipedia" on Google, you will see the article appear, so it is certainly out there. Thanks! /wia /tlk 21:30, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
