06:05:05, 22 August 2018 review of submission by Vnarsimhan[edit]


I would like to know the reason why this article https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Bhanumathi_Narasimhan is taking such a long time for getting reviewed? Moreover, I would request certain examples if any, to get this article live.

Thammudu (talk) 06:05, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vnarsimhan, The draft is in the pool of submissions to be reviewed and will be evaluated in due course and the backlog is eight weeks. All reviewers are volunteers and article review is not based on first come first serve basis as reviewers would general review draft as their own choosing and / or of the topics their are familiar with. So pls be patient. One important thing is not to violate copyright as the draft article had copied and pasted the content from other source. Usually in such case, the draft article would be delete speedily but it was saved by admin where the copyrighted material was removed from the page. Thank you.

Hi CASSIOPEIA, thanks for the information. Is there anything that I can do to improve this article? Thammudu (talk) 09:33, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 07:58:13, 22 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Kitplane01[edit]


I wrote an article. It was rejected. I fixed all the reasons given, and now think it's quite good. But I've been waiting a very long time for my proposed article to be reviewed again.

I posted on the reviewers talk page to no effect.

How can I get the article accepted?

Kitplane01 (talk) 07:58, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Kitplane01.
Good to hear you've been fixing a draft. Once you've done that you need to re-submit it (like you did the first time) or we won't know to review it.
There's a reasonably large backlog at the moment, but in the meantime you can either make additional edits to it and/or start work on another draft. People also make additional comments on drafts awaiting review, so you can react to any that might appear in the meantime.
Yours, Nosebagbear (talk) 09:02, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nosebadbear That's fine. But how do I resubmit an existing draft? Thanks for the help!
@Kitplane01: At the top of the draft is a large pink box. In it is a big blue "Resubmit" button. Click it to submit the draft for another review. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:59, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 11:38:20, 22 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Smokingduck[edit]


I came across this article on wikipdeia listing UK parkruns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Parkruns_in_the_United_Kingdom

I thought it would be helpful to create a sister page listing UK junior parkruns in the UK (the only difference between a parkrun and a junior parkrun is that the junior events are for 4-14 year olds only).

Articles for creation: List of Junior Parkruns in the UK

It was rejected. I don't understand why only one should be approved. I'd think either both articles are suitable, or neither article is suitable.

Could somebody explain. Thank you.

Smokingduck (talk) 11:38, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Smokingduck. The difference may have to do with List of Parkruns in the United Kingdom citing 100+ sources, and Draft:List of Junior Parkruns in the UK citing 2, but the "rejected" review outcome is a fairly new innovation here at Articles for creation, so reviewer DGG may wish to comment more fully. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:19, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Smokingduck. My error. The new template should not have been used in this manner. Thanks for notifying me so I could fix it. I reverted the review and re-reviewed it. It really needs some more content than the list of places, just like List of Parkruns in the United Kingdom. DGG ( talk ) 03:12, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
DGG and Worldbruce. Thanks for the feedback. I understand the need for more content - I've added some content to the "Greater London" page, a few more references, and resubmitted the page. I am not able to add detail for the vast majority of the entries because I only know a couple of events near me in south London. My expectation is that when the page is live, so others can see it, people from different parts of the country will fill in the sections for their area. I wasn't sure how to include this expectation in the listing. Smokingduck ( talk ) 10:00, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 13:28:03, 22 August 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Necamswiki[edit]


The article is written by Mr. Goldhar, is citation needed?

Necamswiki (talk) 13:28, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Necamswiki Hi, Are you Mr. Goldhar who write the article "Mitchell S. Goldhar" on your sandbox HERE? CASSIOPEIA(talk) 15:41, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

14:49:28, 22 August 2018 review of submission by Hartilli[edit]


I would like a re-review due to the fact that one user believed that my draft was ready for submission, while another did not. Therefore, I would like a third person's assessment and possible advice as how to resolve the issues. Thank you in advance. Hartilli (talk) 14:49, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Hartilli:,
I've re-reviewed the draft and I would concur with Chrissymad that the draft did not have suitable sourcing. Most of the sources were not "intellectually independent" - either from the organisation itself or one with a significant interest in promoting its aims. Of the others, they failed to provide significant coverage of Maccabi USA, usually talking about individual athletes or specific teams. There needs to be multiple sources providing actual coverage of what Maccabi does, how it does it etc - in detail, in a suitable source.
I would suggest hunting down news coverage of the organisation, ones with several paragraphs (not including quotes) on the organisation. It's a significantly old organisation so there may well be book coverage or even some archived newspapers which can often be searched online. Nosebagbear (talk) 19:00, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

15:07:55, 22 August 2018 review of submission by Shadwell Basin[edit]



I need help please to make the first item in my Contents box:

"1. Early Life and Work"

and to move the Contents box back to be above the "1. Early Life and Work" section of my article.

Thank you GBAWDEN, NOSEBAG AND CASSIOPEIA for your advice to date. In trying to insert an Infobox, I have managed to displace my Contents box, which is why I'm asking for help to put it back in place!

Shall be grateful for further help. Shadwell Basin (talk) 15:07, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Shadwell Basin: - I've taken a look at it and the contents box seems to be where you want it. Infoboxes can be immensely fiddly to add. My suggestion, if you still want to add one, is to find a similar article on the same topic and see whether its infobox would work (with the content replaced, obviously!).

18:33:20, 22 August 2018 review of submission by Shadwell Basin[edit]


I've fixed the problem I asked about earlier today, thank you!! But could I have some guidance on how to insert an infobox and image into my article, please?? Thank you. Shadwell Basin (talk) 18:33, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Shadwell Basin: - I've covered infoboxes above, though I'd add that you can see where to place it by looking at a few articles. It's a little more complicated in a draft since there is a bunch of wikitext at the top from comments etc, that has to be on top, but won't always be there
With regards to a picture, see Help:Pictures. Please note that you'll need to add the infobox first, since the way of adding a picture is a little different if putting it into an infobox. It's all explained on the helppage. If you aren't using a photo already on wikimedia, PLEASE be really careful about uploading etc: wiki is brutal on potential copyright violations and it can be very complicated to tread the path.

19:37:11, 22 August 2018 review of submission by Ktpdicamillo[edit]


We attempted to correct some information on the Wikipedia page for Di Camillo Bakery and address the remakes from the Wikipedia editors. In order to correct and address the issues raised by Wikipedia we made have errored by posting it directly instead of using the sandbox. In our sandbox are the corrections and additional citations addressing the issues that were raised by the editors. Please let us know if we are following proper procedure.

Regards, Michael Di Camillo Ktpdicamillo (talk) 19:37, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ktpdicamillo: The correct method for editors with a conflict of interest to suggest edits to an article is to go to the talk page (in this case, Talk:DiCamillo Bakery) and to make your suggestions there along with the {{request edit}} template. Iffy★Chat -- 09:45, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

23:33:00, 22 August 2018 review of submission by Sgianargent[edit]


I am requesting re-review of the submitted article, as I believe the article is relevant to wikipedia. Mr. McNulty is a current holder of a British feudal title and fellowship in the RSA. WP has articles on each of these subjects, so another article on a holder of each seems appropriate for publication.


Sgianargent (talk) 23:33, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sgianargent. The draft cites no verifiable source for McNulty being a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts or for him being Lord of the Manor of Whiteoxen, Devon. Even if it did, it does not follow that because articles exist on those subjects, an article should exist on a holder of each. The relevant guideline is Wikipedia:Notability (people). You are welcome to advance an argument based on that guideline, or to seek publication in an alternative outlet, such as FamilySearch, that may have different inclusion criteria. --Worldbruce (talk) 23:46, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
