03:35:25, 27 November 2017 review of submission by 49.255.129.70[edit]

Hello!

I'm seeking to understand where this draft page is within the moderation queue? Are you kindly able to let me know realistically where it is? The page was originally submitted for review and rejected on October 23rd and subsequent edits were made shortly after.

Thanks, James 49.255.129.70 (talk) 03:35, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jdinop. 536 drafts have been awaiting review longer than Draft:Henley. Based on the backlog I would expect it to be reviewed by three or four weeks from now. From a quick glance, I would say it's unlikely to be accepted, so you may wish to improve it while you wait. Studying Wikipedia's guidelines and best writing may be helpful. WP:BFAQ#COMPANY also contains good advice. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:29, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May I know why my article on Afghanistan national swimming federation is declined. It had vital and major sources like International Swimming Federation and Asian swimming federation along with other important sources used.

Best.

There are references in Draft:Afghanistan National Swimming Federation, but they aren't cited in a recommended way. Please read Help:Referencing for beginners. Maproom (talk) 10:22, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

17:33:31, 27 November 2017 review of submission by Robert L Mitchell2[edit]


I am using three references for which I have printed copies of the published articles, but these articles are not available online. One article is from a Spanish language journal (properly referenced) and two more articles are from a newspaper that has changed hands several times since the articles were published and I cannot find an online reference or archive of the articles. What is the best way to cite these three articles?

Hi Robert L Mitchell2. For a newspaper, fill in the placeholders in the following {{cite news}} template:
  • {{cite news |last=AuthorSurname |first=AuthorFirstNames |date=November 27, 1967 |title=Title of article |work=[[The News (Mexico City)|The News]] |location=Mexico City}}
For a "journal" fill in the placeholders in one of the following two templates, {{cite journal}} if it's an academic journal (usually peer reviewed and published by a university or learned society), or {{cite magazine}} if it's some other kind of periodical such as a popular magazine, trade journal, newsletter, etc.:
  • {{cite journal |last=AuthorSurname |first=AuthorFirstNames |date=October 1993 |title=Título del artículo |trans-title=Title of article |language=es |journal=Nombre de la revista académica |volume=1 |issue=2 |pages=22–33}}
  • {{cite magazine |last=AuthorSurname |first=AuthorFirstNames |date=October 1993 |title=Título del artículo |trans-title=Title of article |language=es |magazine=Nombre de la revista |volume=1 |issue=2 |pages=22–33}}
Don't worry about the fact that they're offline. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:48, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

HI

2A02:8084:2164:C80:DC8F:94BC:825F:B649 (talk) 18:40, 27 November 2017 (UTC) HI I would like to remove some information from my wikipedia page I need to remove the following information as it is irrelevant to my work as an author of poetry[reply]

1 "in 2007, she was part of a program using art therapy for people with disabilities in Mountmellick called Áthas"

2 and also, this information is in the future tense and has been completed. It is no longer necessary to cite it "During her residency in Kerry, she will be conducting workshops, working with youth and writing a new series of poems.[8]"

Please delete both these sentences, thank you Annemarie

Hi Annemarie. This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. Your request involves an existing article, so is outside our scope.
Annemarie Ní Churreáin isn't your Wikipedia page, it's Wikipedia's biography of you. You do not have the right to control its content. You may not remove reliably sourced material simply on the grounds that you feel it is irrelevant.
See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons for more information about what you can do. You may start a new section at the bottom of Talk:Annemarie Ní Churreáin asking that action be taken regarding out of date information. It is unlikely to be removed, but something may be done, such as qualifying it with an "as of" date.
If you have further questions, please consider asking at the Wikipedia:Help desk, where editors will try to answer any question regarding how to use Wikipedia. Just follow the link, select the relevant section, and ask away. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:27, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
