Submit again for review[edit]

I would like to re-submit for review my article but I do not see how to do it. Could you please help me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cedric71 (talk • contribs) 07:13, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can manually resubmit an article by adding : {{afc submission|ts={{subst:CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}|u={{subst:Currentuser}}}} anywhere in the article. As it stands, I still can't pass the article, as the references (two primary sources, a blog and a download site) don't seem to be reliable sources, which are required to establish notability. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 09:50, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An easier way is adding {{subst:submit}} to the article. Mdann52 (talk) 15:42, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/CrisisX Wikipedia Frontpage[edit]

Why was my submission declined? This is for a Runescape server that I play.

There is a wiki page for another server already made: http://www.nrwiki.com/index.php?title=Main_Page And it was accepted.

Also, why do I have to wait for articles to be approved? Why can't I just automatically submit them?

You need to be an autoconfirmed user (ie: have an account older than 4 days and with more than 10 edits) to create new pages. However, if you put this article in the main space, it will almost certainly get speedy deleted per Criteria A3 - No content. Just because you can put this in another wiki is irrelevant - this article is not suitable for an encyclopaedia. Indeed, only the fact it is in Wikipedia's talk space saves me from being able to tag it for speedy deletion right now. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:53, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of User:Pastorcwabbott/sandbox[edit]

how do i move my article from the sandbox to where ever it needs to go to be published?Pastorcwabbott (talk) 12:31, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You need to be a autoconfirmed user with more than 10 edits and an account older than 4 days to move pages from the sandbox. I've done the move for you and it's now at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Out of Albania --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 13:31, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/my draft[edit]

Hi Sir or Madam,

Before publishing an article, can I just create a private link of this draft and share with my friend without login with my user account.

Kun Rmicri (talk) 12:55, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but you should never share accounts with other people as it can lead to you getting blocked due to having had it compromised. There's no reason your friend can't create an account as well and edit the draft in your sandbox as long as you're okay with them doing that. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 13:34, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your friends don't even need accounts of their own to edit your draft; anybody can edit existing Wikipedia pages without having an account. You cannot create a draft on Wikipedia that only you and your friends can edit, but if the draft is in your userspace, for example at User:Rmicri/sandbox, it's very unlikely that anybody will edit it uninvited.

Can any one please help me in resolving this. I am not computer savvy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Priyankkgupta (talk • contribs) 17:50, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read Referencing for beginners? If not, have a read now and it may help explain why your article's getting rejected. On the other hand, if you have read it, can you let me know which bit you're confused about? --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 22:05, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article review Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tyler Moore (Powerlifting)‎[edit]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tyler Moore (Powerlifting)‎

Hello! I created this article for world athlete Tyler Moore and don't understand why it was rejected. He competes at the top level of Powerlifting and is a member of the US World Team. Powerlifting itself is not the most popular sport but, he is competing at the same level as olypians (The World Games is the highest level of competition for Powerlifting). Please help.

User:Coloradopowerlifting (User talk:Coloradopowerlifting)

I think this was probably because a lot of statistics rely on goheavy.net, which doesn't particularly look like a reliable source, while other references, such as coloradospringssports.org only give a vague passing mention to Moore. You need to be able to find sources such as sports newspapers or magazines that discuss him specifically - just having mentions in lists of powerlifting competitors isn't really sufficient, I'm afraid. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 22:03, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of User:Vezzerina/sandbox[edit]

Hi, I noticed that above the image in my infobox there is the following text: [[file:|frameless|alt=|]]

How do I remove it, please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vezzerina (talk • contribs) 22:31, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

With an infobox, you only need to put the image filename without the rest of the wikicode around it. I've fixed this up for you and moved your article to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Fish Meat: Choose Your Farm Wisely, which is the preferred location for it. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 22:39, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Wedding (The Middle)[edit]

How do I get rid of the word "User: [insert name here]" from an article title — Preceding unsigned comment added by Austinlauran (talk • contribs) 23:30, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When a draft is reviewed and accepted, the reviewer will move it into the main article namespace. You can also move it yourself when your account is autoconfirmed (when it's more than four days old and has made ten edits, I believe); see WP:Moving pages. However, for new editors it's recommended to have their new articles reviewed via WP:Articles for creation; in their current shape, neither Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Wedding (The Middle) nor User:Austinlauran/The Wedding (The Middle) cite any sources, and if they were put in articlespace in the current form, they might even be speedily deleted for a lack of content and context.
