April 23[edit]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Goliath Games[edit]

I hit save page at the bottom of the Articles for Creation for Goliath Games, but it keeps saying it was not submitted for review. Then it says to hit save page again. I'm hoping it went through since I did what it said, but it's still saying it didn't. I'm not sure what else to do. Can you tell me if it submitted properly?

Thanks! 24.131.180.120 (talk) 03:15, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's not submitted for review, but it's not suitable to be an article anyway. This is firstly because it's written like an advertisement, and secondly because it cites no independent reliable sources (see Wikipedia:VRS) to establish and verify the notability of the company.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Solana Networks[edit]

I had developed a new entry for the following:

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Solana Networks

Feedback from review came back the 1st time to say that more verifiable citations were needed. Spent a ton of time to dig up various citations from the net and post. Then resubmitted. The 2nd review came back and said there were too many citations - some of them "junk".

I am not sure where to strike the balance. It would be helpful if the 2nd reviewer (or someone else) indicates which specific citations are problems so i can delete them.

Help?

The second reviewer specifically mentions press releases. You haven't removed them all yet; there is at least one still there, [1].

[2] is another example of a "junk" reference... all it confirms is that someone from the company gave a talk at a conference. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 08:20, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of User:Margin1522/sandbox[edit]

If possible I'd like cancel my request for review.

It seems I misunderstood the purpose of the review. I am a registered user and I've created articles before. My article is a translation from the German Wikipedia, and I think it's good enough, so if it's OK I would like to just go ahead and create it. Thanks.

I have accepted the article and added some appropriate templates. ~~There seems to be a citation error in the resulting text, you may wish to take a look.~~ A bot now claims to have fixed the error. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 08:13, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. The citation was fixed and works as intended now. I agree that it needs more secondary references. Will try to work on that. Margin1522 (talk) 09:55, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Your submission name here[edit]

Hi Owneddistruktion. If the topic has not been discussed or detailed in any other website, there are possible concerns about whether it meets Wikipedia's notability requirements. Has it been described in detail in published books, music magazines or newspapers? Arthur goes shopping (talk) 08:04, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
