Help me I submitted a very stripped-down article and haven't heard anything back. Where can I find the progress of editing and review?

How does X work?
Help me I would like to edit this entry (my first) to make it acceptable and get the formatting fixed. Help!!! Kim BrownAlphaMareKy (talk) 23:08, 29 March 2013 (UTC)


 * It was unambiguously advertisementy. Were you trying to advertise for something, or otherwise make it look good? Were you trying to get it found out? gwickwire  talk editing 23:14, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Help me No, I wasn't trying to advertise. I'm a journalist by profession and understand the line between editorial and advertising. Can you offer specifics on what needs to come out in order to make this more Wiki?

 * Give me a half-hour or so, I'll reply in a bit :) gwickwire  talk editing 23:29, 29 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The article is now (temporarily) at User:gwickwire/Hallway Feeds. I'm going to be blunt, it looks like advertising to me as well. A lot of the material in the "article" isn't something you'd normally find in an encyclopedia article, and the formatting of the article is pretty poor, and that's being nice about it. I'd suggest you start all over, keeping in mind WP:NPOV WP:NOT and WP:RS among all other policies. I'll leave the article up in my userspace until you can confirm you've gotten your copy of it, and then I'll remove it and let you keep your copy, is that okay? gwickwire  talk editing 23:35, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Help me Okay. Stinks, but it was a first try for an original article. And I couldn't figure out the formatting even though I work in CMS systems all the time. How can I get into your user space to get a copy, and I'll start over again? Thanks for the feedback! AlphaMareKy (talk) 23:50, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, saw the link and got a copy. Will try again.

Question: I tried to put this up in the space where you can request editing help, but couldn't get that to work earlier today. Suggestions?

 * Use WP:AFC, it allows you to edit it before it is approved, but it won't get deleted :) gwickwire  talk editing 23:55, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hallway Feeds


A tag has been placed on Hallway Feeds, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. smileguy91talk 22:58, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
