Hi please can you help me how to add photos to my edited article. Thank you Naepin (talk) 10:12, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Naepin. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Adding images to articles can be a complex process; you can learn more about it by reading WP:Uploading images. But before doing so, I think your efforts would be better directed towards improving the text of your draft. Right now, it consists largely of unsourced biographical detail, followed by an overly-long listing of details that would be appropriate for the subject's resumé, but not for an encyclopedia article. In its current state, it is unlikely that your draft will be accepted for publication. I encourage you to seek out reliable sources that are independent of the subject and that discuss him in depth. It is this type of material, and not a listing of presentations and articles, that will lead to an acceptable article. I hope this response has been helpful.

- No draft specified!

Hi I sent the following message and got the following response but the actual article I was discussing was requested and declined in the past 2 months. I thought I was putting it somewhere where someone 'neutral' could write the article, so I am confused as to why it was deemed not neutral. Am I better off writing it myself and trying to submit it that way?

Hi, I wrote a request for an article to be written about a school, it was declined. I thought by requesting others to write the article I would obtain a neutral response and am confused as to why it was classes as advertising. I included a lot of information/published sources about the school that were not by the school. Other schools have wikipedia pages, I would like to know how to arrange one for this school also.

Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. Your submission was declined two years ago because of concerns about advertising, but it was deleted about 18 months ago because you did no further work on it. Because it has been deleted, we are unable to see exactly what might have raised the concerns about advertising. However, "abandoned" drafts are fairly easy to get restored. You can do so by making a request at WP:REFUND/G13. I hope this response has been helpful. NewYorkActuary (talk) 13:42, 16 March 2017 (UTC

Hello again, Caitlin. Might you specify which article was "requested and declined" two months ago? NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:36, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
