02:22:43, 26 January 2018 review of submission by History Man1812

History Man1812 (talk) 02:22, 26 January 2018 (UTC) I was wondering why my article, the capture of carleton island was declined. I got it from a reliable source, and it was free of bias, despite being a stub. So why was it declined?

History Man1812 - Hi, and thanks for getting back. I saw two problems with the draft, as follows:

• Sourcing - you've only got one source, which isn't cited inline. Even if it was the most reliable source going, just having one isn't really enough to demonstrate Notability. But it is easily fixed, you just need to find a couple more. And it would be best if you used them inline, so that it is clear what statements they support.
• Significance - At the moment, it's a one paragraph, five sentence, draft. If that's all the coverage permits, would it be better to merge the content into the, very well-sourced, article on the War of 1812, or even the Carleton Island article? Sometimes, small, standalone, stubs aren't the best way to go. That said, if you can get a few more sources, and use these to expand it, the draft should be fine.

Hope this is helpful. Regards. KJP1 (talk) 07:29, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

DUBA21 (talk) 02:44, 26 January 2018 (UTC) WHY WAS MY SUBMISSION DECLINED???

DUBA21 - Hi, assuming I've got the right article draft, the reviewer did make clear why it was declined in the reasons box. It's because there's already an article on this player, at Lionel Messi and it wouldn't make sense to have two. I've not read all of your draft, but it looks like a (close/exact?) copy of the existing article??? One other thing, it's best not to write in CAPITALS as it looks like you're shouting.

Looking at it again, I think it is an exact copy, even down to the Good Article flag top-right. I'm not sure why you want to resubmit a copy of an existing article as a draft? KJP1 (talk) 07:52, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure why the article is rejected with the source. Is it because the source is not TechCrunch?...

Hi all thank you for taking the time to read this. I have no experience with wikipedia so I apologize first. But the reason for this message is My yoga teacher, Philip Christodoulou 500 RYT, here in Delray Beach Florida is the creator of Anuttara Raja yoga, his interpretation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobiography_of_a_Yogi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramahansa_Yogananda

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swami_Sri_Yukteswar_Giri

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahiri_Mahasaya

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahavatar_Babaji

the gurus above, their lineage and yoganandas book above. Here is an article written from Philip.

Article

By the Middle Ages, Raja Yoga was lost due to "differences of opinion as to what it was" declares Swami Swatmarama in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, In that text, the Swami affirms that "Hatha Yoga is like a staircase that leads to Raja Yoga." So what is Raja Yoga? Well, there are still strongly held differences of opinion. In and of itself, "Raja Yoga" means meditation. Our reply is this; How can one meditate when the body is stiff and sore and the mind is anxious and turbulent? That is where Anuttara Raja Yoga comes into play. It is now generally accepted that Raja Yoga, a retronym describing the teachings of the Patanjala Yoga Sutra and the Kriya Yoga of Lord Krishna and our Guru Lineage of Kriya Yoga are all one and the same. While all these revered texts are freely available, few have managed to express these teachings through the physical practice of Yoga. Vague expressions do linger on in the Taoist traditions and some Tibetan Yogic practices. Perhaps a clearer picture emerges through the Kashmir Shaivist traditions of Anuttara Yoga, the Supreme Yoga. Anuttara Raja Yoga is our interpretation, through modern anatomy, of all these various remnants of Raja Yoga and Kriya Yoga. We have found a remarkable confluence between Raja Yoga philosophy and modern anatomy. Many times, what is described in Sanskrit for philosophy, the Greek and Latin use the exact same words to describe the anatomy. We place a very high value on the philology of these classical languages to help paint a clearer picture as to the Science. Anuttara Raja Yoga is predicated on the Matrix of the Four Fundamental Forces of Nature and how these forces interact psychologically and physiologically through the Mind and its extension through the neuromyofascial network of the body. The physical practice itself has become very popular locally, with an ever expanding following of dedicated practitioners who find welcome physical and emotional release through their practice. We emphasize how the physical and psychological realms of consciousness interact as sensory input and emotional output and we design various flows stemming from that basic premise. While we ascribe to no particular religion, as per Mahavatar Babaji's teachings, we make constant reference to the sacred texts of all major traditions and we emphasize how similar their teachings are to the essence of Yoga as the Holy Science.

Is this something that can be submitted onto wikipedia. Thank you Melissa
