Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Rafe Hernandez
the subject of my article, Rafe Hernandez, is briefly described in "Minor Characters" of Days of our Lives, but he is now a lead character, with an established family in the fictious town of Salem. I just need for it to be noted that this is not a duplicate article. Thank you! I'm new to this!! Still have to learn how to include pictures, etc.

 * Hey I found the "minor Characters" article, but I also noticed this article: Rafael Hernandez (Days of Our Lives), which has the same topic. Why not try improving on the established article instead?  Kinkreet ~&#9829;moshi moshi&#9829;~ 16:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you--I swear I searched but did not see that article. Ugh! I will try my hand at editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pobrien1975 (talk • contribs) 21:24, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

 * The reviewer believes (both of them actually) that the article sounds more like an advertisement for the company rather than an enclyclopedic article. All articles must be written from a neutral point of view and I have to agree that it is a bit. Articles need to be based on verifiable fact using reliable, third party sources (see WP:42). external links should not be within the prose of the article but in an external links section at the end (and they should only be relevent, not spam/advertising link).
 * Take a look at WP:FIRST which has good starting steps on writing your first article. - Happysailor  (Talk) 15:41, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for the explanation. I cleaned up whatever may appear / read as an advertisement so I would appreciate your review again. As for the external links, I originally just had references without relation to the prose in the article but received feedback to change this (or at least that's how I understood it). So I'm not sure how to format the references at the moment. Thanks in advance. Orit — Preceding unsigned comment added by Didiivancovsky (talk • contribs) 12:13, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Strathclyde Park Rowing Club

Your reviewer stated, "..also the article seems to have some NOV problems." What is a "NOV problem"? Tmhew12t (talk) 15:32, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It looks like that was a typing error (which I have corrected) NPOV stands for Neutral Point of View. - See WP:NPOV. All artlces should be unbiased in the language & phrases they use. - Happysailor  (Talk) 15:35, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Arpad Haraszthy
My submission of the article entitled Arpad Haraszthy has been declined because the editor, ChrisGualtieri, says he "cannot verify the sources and their content as I do not have access to said works. Otherwise I see no reason for it to be denied." I don't know how I can remedy this problem, as some of the sources are online and others are reliable, independent, published sources, with full information given as to the publishers, place of publication, and dates. How can I provide him with "access to said works"? Please help me, as I believe the article meets all of the criteria for Wikipedia. I do not know how to proceed. Thank you, AmericanuslexAmericanuslex (talk) 18:48, 18 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Chris is right to an extent. In these cases, if things look legitimate, we will approve the article and leave it up to the scrutiny of the Wikipedians familiar with the subject to tear it apart later if necessary.  Nice looking work.     :- ) DCS  18:59, 18 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah there was nothing wrong with it; just in my review I couldn't verify all the material myself. Certain instances like the Bohemian Club did have him listed as a founding member, and such things are important to be correct, other claims I could not directly prove. So rather then decline; I commented it as such for another editor to take a look at it. It was a very nicely done and detailed article. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 13:57, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Upinder Randhawa
I feel that whilst keeping within the guidelines of ensuring all points are backed up with valid references, the article has the points necessary for it to be posted.

Please elaborate on what you mean with regards to sufficient context, as I have based this format on other articles that I have seen on Wikipedia.

 * Well done for trying to add inline citations, but you need to add to close each citation. At least the article is legible now. I think the reviewer may have concerns about the notability of Randhawa and maybe believes there is not enough in-depth sources about him to support a meaningful article. Only one source (that I can see) does anything more than briefly mention him. The Financial Times article requires registration to view online so I cannot vouch what it contains.
