{{SAFESUBST:Void|
Dear Help Desk,
I'm writing to ask for a review of the article about Teamgate CRM. It was declined 2 times; first time I removed Ranking as it was "too commercial" and added press covers, second time I edited chapter "Press" to remove unreliable references. Could you please review the article if I edited correctly? Comments of previous reviewers were regarding chapters "Press" and "References". Thank you!

- The article has been resubmitted, which is how you request a review. jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:33, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

To whom it may concern, I don't understand why my article is being rejected. Do I need more sources? More incite references? Or maybe my referencing is wrong? Please advise me with more details so I can correct and publish my article again. Thank you very much, PHTZN

- PHTZN - Your last reviewer stated: "I believe this subject is notable, but it currently needs better sourcing to meet the WP:BLP policy. Please add some more inline citations and resubmit. Bradv 4:41 am, Today (UTC+1)" - For Biographies of Living People, we need inline sources (To show exactly where the information stated about the person has come from. Ideally, every sentence would be referenced. This is what is holding the draft back. I understand this is only a little issue, but Wikipedia has to present factual information, especially against information that could be interpreted as libel. See WP:Referencing for beginners. Hope that helps. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:57, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello everyone, I am writing regarding an article that has been declined. I have been very careful in selecting the references, unfortunately, the most relevant references I have found about this artist are printed and in French, which means it is harder for someone reviewing the article to double check the accuracy of each information. I do understand that. But then how do you judge a source is reliable or not when it is printed? Another thing, it is explained that the article was turned down because of some "peacock terms", yet I can not find any superlative description that would make this artist more important than he is in the text... Please help me! Laura Drouet (talk) 09:14, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Laura Drouet Greetings to you. First of all, may I suggest you to read WP:Your First Article and notability guidelines for you would find lots of info on creating an article in Wikipedia. Secondly pls see info on source as requested. Thirdly, sources could be in any languages, reviewers could get the content translated especially it is sourced from the internet. Lastly, do note that any texts highlighted in blue means there is page about the subject. So do click on the word "peacock terms" on your draft article and it will lead you to the page/section of the page. By the way, peacock term means term that is puffery/flowerly that try to enhance the subject to appeal to readers' emotional. Articles in Wikipedia need to write in a neutral point of view or in other words, plain and factual]]. Have a good day and thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 12:30, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Laura Drouet: Hi, references can be in any language and don't have to be online. The issue here appears to be more with the tone of the submission rather than the reliability of the sources. I've got to agree with the original reviewer in that I find the tone a bit odd, and resembling more of a CV than an encyclopedia article. The best thing to do here might be to get someone else to read through the article and point out bits that sound like a CV. An alternative method might be to model the article of an existing good article (one with a green cross on the top right). An example of a good article to model off would be the article on Peter Matthews (artist), a contemporary artist, or maybe Hans Namuth. You can find a full list of good artist articles here if those two aren't similar enough. I hope this helps. jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:31, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Dear help desk
I am new at this and would like to get your help on my article (Cryonics Institute) I made changes and I hope i got it right this time, any help would be greatly appreciated.
- Hi, you need to firstly disclose any COI, and secondly the article has been replaced in the queue for review. The waiting time is around 2 months at present, please be patient. jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:37, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
