05:30:03, 18 September 2014 review of submission by RodeishaV[edit]


I want to ask about my article that has been submitted for review via sandbox. I wanted to link this article under Specializations in the Wikipedia page for management consulting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_consulting)

My questions are 1. How do I link this into the existing Management Consulting page under the subhead Specializations? 2. So far most of my reference material is from the websight http://www.insightconsultancysolutions.com, is this ok or do I need more external sources for the material to be verifiable? 3. I have not directly linked the material, particularly the quotes from executives to the publications in references, however they are printed in the flyer quoted in the references http://www.insightconsultancysolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Insight-Strategic-training-offering-082614.pdf. Is this ok?

That is the main questions for now, thank you! Samantha Keen

no Declined as a blatant advert, and nominated for speedy deletion as spam. You need to think very hard about what you write as an 'article' please. Once you have written a decent, non spammy draft it will be time to think about the rest of your questions. Fiddle Faddle 09:24, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am new to create an article. I am the manager of Ferenc Cserhalmi opera singer, member of the Hungarian State Opera. I tried to upload text and photo and make links. 94.27.131.177 (talk) 06:09, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what you failed with, and cannot see any draft article under this IP address. Please read and understand WP:COI, and also WP:MUSIC. Fiddle Faddle 11:39, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

14:44:30, 18 September 2014 review of submission by Resident502[edit]

My article has been reviewed and denied twice. However, I made significant improvements to the article based on the moderators' feedback and resubmitted it. I resubmitted it about a month ago (Aug. 28), and have yet to hear anything back. Did I do something wrong? Or does it take a while for them to be re-reviewed? Resident502 (talk) 14:44, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You've not done anything wrong... you are correct that it takes a while for drafts to be re-reviewed. In fact, it can take just as long as for the original review... so up to a month or more, which admittedly is far from ideal. This particular Draft is correctly submitted and awaiting review.

Rather than declining the review I have left a lengthy comment on it to guide your hand. The work may be done now, without awaiting a formal review, and I chose to leave a comment instead of declining it. The referencing needs further attention, but the task is now simpler, I hope, with the guidance I have left for you. Fiddle Faddle 08:41, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Studiofilmcafe (talk) 17:45, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why was my article rejected? Can I know please? This was the first time i was ever editing it.

@Studiofilmcafe: It says so on the draft. I'd also like to point out your draft is entirely unreferenced and makes no claim to notability. Wikipedia is not a website to host your material and we definitely not here to advertise. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:56, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have violated someone else's copyright. See https://www.linkedin.com/company/bp-optimity-pvt-ltd The draft will be deleted. Do not copy material from other web sites. Fiddle Faddle 08:14, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

22:23:11, 18 September 2014 review of submission by RodeishaV[edit]

Hi, I recently submitted my first article, and I had not quite finished the links. It did unfortunately look like advertising, I think because I had not finished the links. But I may also have used the wrong angle on the story, it may have been more appropriate to simply write the article about the company Insight Consulting, and include courses underneath that.

Link to the deleted article

Questions:

I would like to try again, with more external links, can I do this without losing my account etc? Is it better to do it from the perspective of the company name Insight Consultancy Solutions Inc.? As in the style of this competitor [[2]]

I am writing as someone who has attended the courses and also watched this firm for a long time, and I think they should be up there because they are bringing something new and fresh to the field of management consultancy. FYI I now have about 6 external links of articles by the founder, although they are not necessarily on the courses.

My main concern is that I do not want to be deleted as a user because I am doing the wrong thing. I really appreciate wikipedia and what it does. It is a great service. I have a background in journalism, and really find it useful, so do not want to jeopardize your quality at all. Thanks RodeishaV RodeishaV (talk) 22:23, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You need to determine whether the org passes WP:CORP, and to write about the org. You do this by seeking references that pass WP:42 and considering whether it has notability. If it has, go ahead and write a neutral draft, with full referencing, and do not submit it until you believe it is as ready as you can make it without feedback. It is the act of submitting it that exposes it to scrutiny (broadly, at least).
You would be advised, instead of plunging in, to consider many other unrelated articles first. Look for articles that meet WP:GA. What makes them good articles? How close can you get with a putative draft. Analyse them, read their talk pages. Bring those discussions to bear on what you hope to do. Fiddle Faddle 08:11, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
