02:10:07, 27 July 2017 review of submission by Webrlamy[edit]
The copyright issues encountered in the past stem from the usage of Dr. Arceneaux's official biography. He provides it to anyone interested and it lives out there from his past sharing. I am not sure how to address this. He provided the same biography/his words to me for usage in this article. It is not copyrighted material. I have reviewed much of the documentation but am still unsure as to the correct steps to take. Any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you!

- Hi Webrlamy. The deeper problem than copyright is that Arceneaux should not be a major source of information for a biographical article about Arceneaux. Autobiographies, including ghostwritten ones, are unwelcome here. Wikipedia is mainly interested in what arms-length sources say about a subject, not what the subject says about themselves. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:28, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
Thank you. I had requested the official biography directly from him. I have been doing the research and referencing. It is my first time to attempt such an endeavor and my lack of skill-set is a bit of a problem. I am currently writing a hopefully better article and will try again.

Hi, I am trying to create a Wikipedia page for Puneet Kaura -- the Managing Director & CEO of my company Samtel Avionics. My submission has been declined twice. I have tried to keep the language as neutral as possible and tried to give references of third-party industry articles as I learned. However, the problem is that this article is about Puneet Kaura in his capacity as MD and CEO of this company and his company's achievements are his achievements. I may not have references of how he has contributed to the growth of his company except in news articles which are based upon his interviews or profiling, but they are not acceptable as they are company-sponsored articles. Please help me in creating a submission which adheres to Wikipedia guidelines.

- @Manisha madan: Hello, Manisha. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Our apologies for the delay in response. Based on what you've said here, it seems unlikely that an article on Mr. Kaura will be accepted for publication. But if Kaura's accomplishments are the same as your company's, why not simply write about the company? I'm not sure whether a stand-alone article on Samtel Avionics would be appropriate, but a section about the company might fit well into the already-existing article on the Samtel Group. If you do choose to take this route, be sure to declare your employment relationship on the Talk page of the Samtel Group article (to see how this is done, look at the Talk page for the article on Satish Kumar Kaura, where I've already made your declaration for you). You might also want to declare your relationship with the Samtel companies on your own user page, which you can create simply by clicking here. I hope this response has been helpful.

Hi, my submission has been rejected a couple of times and I am having serious problems on understanding what I need to change. I already published his biography exactly as it's written but in italian on the italian wikipedia and had no problems... please help. thanking you in advance, MarinaMarina51 (talk) 09:32, 27 July 2017 (UTC) Marina51 (talk) 09:32, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Marina51. Each language version of Wikipedia operates according to its own policies and guidelines, set by the community of editors who contribute there. So an article may satisfy the rules for the Italian Wikipedia but not the English one, or vice versa. The good news is that if an article satisfies one set of rules, it can often be improved to satisfy another set of rules with a small amount of work.
- TheSandDoctor declined the draft because they felt there were statements that require inline citations and don't have them. I'm not sure exactly which statements they meant, but there is much analysis of Schiattarella's work presented in Wikipedia's voice, such as:
Since the beginning of his activity back in 1970, he stands out for his independence from the cultural context of research and architecture of those years, facing an experimental path of his own inspired by the Modern Movement.
This research methodology is still today one of the key elements characterizing the entire production of his firm: a project comes from redefining contents and reorganizing them in a program design on which architectural choices are based upon.
On the edge of interactions between contents and shapes, he carries out an almost hand-crafted testing which, with an easy dismantling of parts of the building components and their re-assembling, he establishes new architectural wholes.
- This should be attributed. Is it Schiattarella's opinion? Your opinion? The opinion of an academic, published in a reliable source? The draft lists four general references. Often misunderstandings between authors and reviewers can be ironed out by using more than the minimum inline citations. If content like this paraphrases the four general references, use inline citations to tell the reader which pages of which ones. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:07, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

- @Faizan Ijaz: Hello, Faizan. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Our apologies for the great delay in response. I think it is possible that you have chosen a topic worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia, but you haven't done a good job of demonstrating that. Your draft contains only three sources -- one of them to Wikipedia and another to the organization's own web site (for which, incidentally, you didn't provide an actual link). But the third is from the website of Dawn, a respected Pakistani newspaper. Unfortunately, the article that you linked is more about the new ameer than it is about the organization itself. But perhaps the organization has received in-depth coverage in other articles from that paper. If so, then it is those other sources that you should be looking for and, if you find them, using as the basis for your article. I hope this response has been helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:17, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
23:49:22, 27 July 2017 review of submission by El Capitano81[edit]
His book does not come out till october/november so i don't think there are reviews yet, i found some advance reviews on good reads, there is also some blurbs on the amazon page for his book. https://www.amazon.com/Only-Dead-Inside-Surviving-Apocalypse-ebook/dp/B01MUGWVIG Are the other references to news sites and publications not enough. what else can i add. also what does i mean about inherited notability, too suggestive of a business profile?
- @El Capitano81: I disagree with the initial review and have moved the article into mainspace where it can be further improved. jcc (tea and biscuits) 14:45, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
