April 18[edit]

01:33:12, 18 April 2016 review of submission by Skirtdancer[edit]


I would like to change the name for searching the person ID'd as Sarah Gross to Sally Gross (choreographer), which is the name she used throughout her professional career. Currently most of the biographical information appears on the Sarah Gross page. Please advise hgow can this be changed, so people can easily search for information on her.

Hi Skirtdancer. In January another user proposed merging Sarah Gross into Sally Gross (choreographer). No one has objected, so you may go ahead with a merge. The full procedure is described in Wikipedia:Merging. Read it carefully, and keep it in front of you as you work. Sections 2.1 and 2.2 have been completed. If you don't feel comfortable doing the rest, then just record your opinion of the merge proposal on the talk page as described in section 2.3, and leave the remainder for someone else to do. If you do take on the challenge of merging, take your time. It's important not to miss any steps and to get the right templates on the right pages with the right edit summaries. This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process, but if you need more help you can it at the Wikipedia:Help desk. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:48, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

11:08:33, 18 April 2016 review of submission by 128.103.186.218[edit]

My article was denied, but The reviewer did not give me a concrete reason. Could you please explain why my article was denied so that I can fix any problems?

The draft has promise, but as the reviewer said, additional "independent references would be desirable." The current references are the text of the story (a primary source), a newspaper opinion piece, and a thesis that is difficult to evaluate because it is in Korean and behind a paywall. It is unclear whether the thesis is primarily background about the period and its literature, or whether it addresses "The Story of Ilt'ahong" directly and in depth. Try to find a couple more souces. WikiProject Korea has a resources page that may help. Resources that aren't readily available online may be accessible through a major university library near you. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:58, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

12:46:25, 18 April 2016 review of submission by Lawrencebimi[edit]

I have submitted this article twice and was still rejected after my second submission after removing inadequate references and replacing them with new references. Is it possible to be told which segments of the page need to be revised? There is not a lot of literature on the history of the Detroit Health Department and most of the information comes from documents that were produced by the Detroit Health Department and the City of Detroit at different periods, however, these sources are unreliable as they were not formally published. I was just wondering if this was the right platform for an article such as this? I was also wondering if there is a different approach that can be taken to writing an article such as this to fit into Wikipedia standards?

Thanks! Lawrencebimi (talk) 12:46, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Replied at length on the draft. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:27, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 22:31:01, 18 April 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Rpurdy2132[edit]


I have submitted an article for review and I was wondering what specific issues exist so I can make the proper edits? I believe that the subject is notable and I have provided numerous sources.

Thanks for your time! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Aquilent
