April 1[edit]

Article submission Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Access Regional[edit]

I have been working on a new submission for a company, page located at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Access Regional . I saw that the first draft was rejected as it needed more references, which I have now done and saved. How do I now resubmit this so that it can be rechecked and hopefully be put online?

You can submit your draft for another review by adding {{subst:submit}} to the very top. However, most of your sources are primary sources such as the company's own website, and the lone independent source doesn't mention the company. Wikipedia content should be based on reliable sources that are independent of the subject, such as newspapers or reputable trade magazines. Without such sources we cannot accept the submission.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Marc Thorpe[edit]

Could someone please help me understand why my article is declined. I feel as if I'm following the rules.

This is a comment listed on my decline notice.

Comment: please remove citation to wikipedia articles or replace with internal links e.g. Maryland BO | Talk 17:05, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Please let me know what I need to do? What is Maryland

Many of your "references" are links to other Wikipedia articles; for example, the very first footnote is a link to our Maryland article. Wikipedia does not consider itself a reliable source; using it as a reference is thus inappropriate. Instead, you should turn the word "Maryland" in the article text itself into a link so that readers who want to know more about that topic can follow the link. See also Help:Link for technical help on using links, and see WP:RS for our guideline on what is and what isn't a reliable source that may be used as a reference.

Review of User:Laurie urane/sandbox[edit]

I also can get photo of statue — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurie urane (talk • contribs) 23:50, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft does not cite any reliable sources such as newspaper articles or published third-party biographies about Franklin. Those would be much more important than a photo of the statue - in fact, we cannot accept the draft without such sources. Furthermore, its tone is anything but encyclopedic, and it's devoid of information on what Franklin did or why he should be honoured with a statue. In fact, it's so devoid of context that I first assumed it talked about the Commonwealth of Kentucky. You seem more interested in writing about the statue you applied for than about Franklin.
