January 4[edit]

Hi - would love some feedback on this article and help with getting it actually posted - thanks! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Christiane_Robbins — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeoLewis (talkcontribs) 00:05, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel you have dealt with the concerns raised by the last reviewer, you could resubmit the page for another review by adding {{subst:submit}} at the top of the page.
Personally I think that using phrasing like "generative of models that have contributed to a pioneering, collective conceptualization of hybrid 20c/21c media and cultural practices" may not help in making the submission intelligible to reviewers or to anyone else. It would be easier to depend on verifiable factual statements, such as, for example, if a documentary she produced won an Academy Award in a particular year.
You may find Wikipedia:CREATIVE and Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners useful. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 11:13, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My submission was declined and I resubmitted it about 3 weeks ago after making some improvement. Thank you in advance for taking the time to review it. Since I am a new editor and still learning my ropes, I would really appreciate it if you give me some detailed advice on how to improve the article. - Synsepalum2013 (talk) 01:45, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your patient. Please be patient as the AfC review queue is significantly backed up at this time. Your submission will be reviewed. Hasteur (talk) 23:53, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I want to delete a submission I made over six months ago, but I can only see how to edit it.

There are no 3rd party sources so it can be removed.

What should I do?

Thanks

Leave it be. After six months without an edit, AfC drafts are speedy-deleted as abandoned. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 07:02, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What is this 'VERBLING' thing people are talking about please? I want to know about it. Can someone re-instate or create the Wikpedia page about a 'Verbling' please?

When I searched Wikipedia for 'Verbling' it says "Page Deleted". What information has been deleted???

Also there is a page that says 'Ask for a page about Verbling to be created' which comes here. 82.19.9.81 (talk) 11:31, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,

I attempted to publish an article on behalf of the Abu Dhabi Technology Development Committee (TDIC), listing them in Wikipedia as a notable entity in the UAE. However, the submission was rejected "because it included copyrighted information." I understand and fully support that stance, however, how do I bypass that if I am the copyright holder or acting on behalf of the copyright holder?

Any support would be highly appreciated.

Hi there! The recent re-submission of my article was not accepted, but no reason was given as to why. In the original submission, the reviewer stipulated that a third-party article was required for authentication. This was achieved in the interval between submissions and the reference included in this recent, second, submission. It would be great to have a clarification.

Cheers!

Reliable sources'. We need more than just a single reliable source to back up the claim and to demonstrate the notablity of the phrase. Hasteur (talk) 23:48, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You get four coins to toss to try to get numbers that add up to ten. You can get a 0,1,2,3,4,or 5. how many different combinations of 10 are there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.82.65.246 (talk) 22:49, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
