User talk:Ailemadrah/sandbox

My first article is almost ready, I think, but I need someone (or several someones!) to check it for me. One thing that puzzles me is that my links to other Wikipedia articles don't appear the way they do in published Wikipedia articles. Have I formatted them incorrectly or will they appear correctly once I send the article out for consideration by Wikipedia? Also, I'd love to know in advance what will happen when I hit the "click here" link at the top of the page ("If you are writing an article, and are ready to request its creation, click here.") What are the next steps I'll be following? And what kind of vetting process do articles go through before being accepted (or denied) for publication? Many thanks for any light anyone can throw on all this for a newbie!--Ailemadrah (talk) 00:27, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello, simply replace the User sandbox at the top of the page with {{subst:submit}} and someone will be by to review it for you within 2-3 weeks (there is a large backlog at the moment, unfortunately). Good luck! Technical 13 (talk) 02:13, 29 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I have done some copyediting; in particular I repaired the wikilinks. See Help:Links for more details on those. However, many of your sources seem problematic; the majority are either just IMDb or IBDb which have reliability issues or documents "in the possession of Amelia Rosamond Hard" which probably don't count as published sources - how are our readers supposed to verify what they say? Furthermore, birth certificates and the like are not considered the significant coverage necessary to establish someone's notability. That leaves us with comparatively few reliable, published third-party sources. that cover Battista in some detail.
 * A minor issue: References are supposed to be placed after the punctuation. I think I changed that for all of them, but you may want to double-check. Huon (talk) 02:48, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
