Help me!
Please help me with...advice on how long from submitting my Sandbox entry (my first ever Wikipedia entry) to getting it published. I appreciate that it's an open question as it will depend on the quality of my contribution, but just wanted a sense of whether days for someone to review, or weeks, or more? Thanks and apologies for disturbing. I've found everything very straightforward so far and have an entry that's nearly ready to submit. Sue

 * There currently are about 350 drafts awaiting review, so it may take a week or two - maybe even longer. On the other hand, drafts are not necessarily reviewed in chroological order, so it may be much faster than that. I'm sorry I cannot give you a more precise estimate, but the reviewers are volunteers too. That said, parts of the draft seem to be copy-pasted from elsewhere. That's a copyright violation. You should fix that s soon as possible or the draft may be deleted. Please summarize in your own words what reliable third-party sources report about the subject. Huon (talk) 22:22, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Help me!
Huon kindly explained how the submission process works. I submitted my first ever draft two weeks ago, and just wondered how long it will be before it gets looked at. I did take Huon's advice and revise my draft to ensure everything was in my own words to avoid copyright violation. Thanks for any further advice on timescale, and hope I'm not being a nuisance.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, SueJenkins. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Robert Beck (painter), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:19, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Help me!
Thank you for the advice and education, Huon. I am removing the references to the Honored Artist Award, as well as to the Philadelphia Sketch Club one, until/unless I can find a less parochial source of information on the subject. I would then like to remove the template that indicates there's a problem with the page, but I am afraid I am struggling there, and would be grateful for your guidance again. Best wishes, Sue SueJ (talk) 12:33, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Please help me with... Thank you for pointing out a possible conflict of interest. I do know Robert Beck as I live in the same town as his gallery. I wanted to add an item under the 'Awards' section: Phillips' Mill 88th Juried Art Exhibition, Honored Artist 2017. The Phillips' Mill Community website has a reference to this, which I added as citation: [24].

I was also planning to add a reference to the Award that featured in the Bucks County Herald October 5th 2017 edition (link to article at: http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk/html5/reader/production/default.aspx?pubid=8cfa36d5-b00d-43c3-8fac-398cf2b87549&edid=afba6d09-282d-45f3-a89a-0b90ddab2521&pnum=6)

There is an additional item about Beck that it would seem useful to include. Robert Beck painted a portrait of Dr Robert Schoenberg on the occasion of the renaming of the LGBT Center to the Schoenberg Carriage House at the University of Pennsylvania, where the portrait will hang. Citation at: http://sketchclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Portfolio-November-2017.pdf [the reference is on P.17 of this document]. Robert Beck presented his portrait of Dr. Robert Schoenberg at the University of Pennsylvania on October 14 2017.

I apologise for not following the Wikipedia rules and will in future use only the Talk page to make a suggestion. I am also looking for an article in the Bucks County Herald which supports this Award information, and will add it to the Talk page when I find it, if that is acceptable.

Apologies again.

Sue

 * Wikipedia content should be based on what reliable sources that are independent of the subject have reported about it. The Phillips' Mill Community website is not an independent source about the Phillips' Mill's activities. Similarly, the Philadelphia Sketch Club's newsletter is not an independent source about the members of the Sketch Club. That leaves us with the Bucks County Herald, which is a reliable secondary source. It's also very local news. Even worse, it also doesn't actually say Beck won an award at that art show, which in fact he didn't. In general, I don't think adding such local honours improves an article. Yes, the local newspaper may report on who won the cheesecake competition at Auntie Jen's Bake Sale, but that doesn't mean Auntie Jen's Cheesecake Award is a significant honour that our readers need to know about to have an appropriate understanding of the subject. Huon (talk) 01:04, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

COI Template
Following Huon's guidance I have removed the parochial items from the Robert Beck entry, along with their supporting citations. I have also read, several times, the information about removing the template from the page, but still cannot see how to do this. Please may I ask for your help one more time? Thanks so much. Sue
