09:10:17, 19 May 2016 review of submission by Jrafner[edit]

{{Lafc|username=Jrafner|ts=09:10:17, 19 May 2016|page=

Hi, The Niels Bohr International Academy is an institution very similar to the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics which references only it's homepage and bochure. Could you explain to me why it is acceptable for this institution and not the the NBIA? Or how I can correct my references to fit the acceptable model? Thank you so much! - JRafner

I think my page was rejected (it says that on my Talk page - not notable enough) but the page still says that it is waiting for review. What do I do now? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ognissanti_Venice Thanks. VeniceEmpire (talk) 14:13, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've just had a look. It appears the reviewer declined the article but didn't leave a note on your article and only left a note on your talk page. In order to make things easier, I'll review the article for you now. st170etalk 22:30, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is the second time my draft gets rejected and I dont understand. First was because of copyrights over the material. I work for the company and the person I'm doing the profile on, but no I was no responded to my question on what I was supposed to do to prove the copyrights over the material. Now, it is rejected because it sounds like an advertisement.

That makes no sense, I'm basically writing on what she does and who she is... How am I suppose to change that?

I need help, then.

Hi! I'll help you with this. Firstly: you have shown here that you have a conflict of interest. Please see your talk page about this as I'm going to post a conflict of interest notice on it. It is frowned upon on Wikipedia to edit topics that you are related to as this may lead to a violation of WP:NPOV. This has clearly happened here. Please understand that all Wikipedia articles must be neutral. Your article is not; it reads as an advertisement. Phrases like 'the only firm [...] dedicated to...' should be removed. You provide a lot of claims in this article which are unsupported. You must have a reference for each claim you make about the subject. Failure to do so will result in other editors not being able to verify your claim and it will be removed. What I would advise you to do is to remove any promotional material on your article. Re-read your article from a neutral perspective and ask yourself if it sounds neutral. I will highlight any phrases in your draft which are non-promotional and you can either remove them or make them neutral.

If you have any more questions, please direct them to my talk page, where I will be happy to help! st170etalk 22:16, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You haven't yet made the conflict of interest disclosure and the paid editing disclosure. If you expect any assistance at all when you are apparently a paid editor (and Wikipedia does not welcome paid editors), at an absolute minimum you MUST make the proper disclosures.

Hi! Not surprised, but my first attempt at an article was decline :( Reasoning was "references do not adequately show the subject's notability". I left citations from Buisnessweek, Austin Business Journal, San Antonio News, and The Orange County Register. Please help me understand why some or all of those are not meeting the threshold? Thank you!
