Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/SalesBabu Business Solutions
why my article got rejected ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chhavipande1 (talk • contribs) 03:59, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Because it cites no independent, reliable sources and reads like an advertisement promoting the company's products, not like an encyclopedia article about the company. Huon (talk) 06:09, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Review of Alienology
Hello,

I would like to ask you the reason of rejecting my article.

Thank you in adavance — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.197.120.72 (talk) 10:17, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * The reason is given in the review template on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Alienology with an aditional comment below it. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:58, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tower Utility
How can I insert picture, logo etc to an article?


 * That depends on the picture and on the article. A logo is likely copyrighted by the company with all rights reserved. We can still use it under "Fair Use"; however, Wikipedia's non-free content criteria say such non-free images must be used only in articles; a draft is not enough. Thus you'll have to wait with uploading the image until the draft has been accepted. Then you can upload the logo to Wikipedia via the File Upload Wizard. Once it's uploaded, the picture tutorial explains how to add the image to the article.
 * If the image were released under a free license that allows everybody to re-use and modify the image for any purpose, including commercial purposes, you could instead upload it to the Wikimedia Commons via their Upload Wizard; Commons images can be used on Wikipedia in exactly the same way as images uploaded locally.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Global Apartheid
✅ Hi, I am new to making contributions to Wikipaedia. I submitted an article a year ago Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Global Apartheid Unfortunately I did not get the prompt review from Stella and assumed it had been turned down, until I got a message from HasteurBot today: User_talk:Titus_Alexander I'm afraid I don't understand what I need to do to make the article acceptable. There are 21,508 for insert references in the Help section.

I have read Help:Introduction_to_referencing/2 and attempted to follow the instrustructions: I hope I've done the tright thing and would apprecriate feedback if not. Thank you Titus Alexander Titus Alexander (talk) 12:22, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Hellow Titus Alexander. You've fixed the footnotes per my comments (you were quite close, just misunderstood how to place them), so all good there. The main thing right now is some sectioning, making it a little more layperson readable, and more tightly sticking to describing vice advocating the concept of Global Apartheid. I'm leaving you some notes at the top of your draft in a minute.MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:19, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Emco Wheaton
Hi I have copied the format of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basell_Polyolefins page so that my submission for Emco Wheaton is the same. Is this format acceptable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emco Wheaton Margate (talk • contribs) 13:27, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * No, it is not. Your submission provided no references to independent reliable sources at all! Click on the links in the rejection message on the page for more information.


 * You should also read WP:Conflict of interest. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 09:04, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Stax
✅ I just submitted an article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/User:Jks825/sandbox for review (it's a complete reworking of one that had been deleted for "notability," based on the comments I received during Deletion Review). I didn't see a place to put in the article title (Stax Inc.). I put it in the subject line after the standard "Request for Review" subject, but the heading on the article still says User:Jks825/sandbox. I didn't see any way of changing it. If there's something I need to do on my end to change it, please let me know. Thanks.Jks825 (talk) 14:00, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Fixed for you, article now at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Stax. MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:26, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Matthew, thanks for your help. Much appreciated. Jks825 (talk) 21:22, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Kasasa
Hey all,

My most recent article submission Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Kasasa was declined on the grounds of it reading more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia entry. Any suggestions on how to get the article up to snuff (what to cut, what to add) would be super appreciated.

Thanks,

 * You could try looking at some of the Good Articles listed under "Businesses and organizations" at Good articles/Social sciences and society, to see the sort of standard you should be aiming for a financial business topic. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 09:08, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Margaret Ledward Laird
How do I check to see where my article submitted is in the review process? I attempted to submit it under one user name 1606eudorast, then lost my notes on my password; changed passwords and user names and resubmitted it under 1051westsouth. 1051westsouth (talk) 19:19, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello 1051westsouth, the link you gave doesn't go anywhere, and your "My Changes" log doesn't show any edits on Wikipedia other than this one, nor at the username 1606eudorast either. Further, if you lost your password, can you use the Password Reset button to get a new one? That would probably be easier than creating a new username. In whatever case, I can't find your draft, so are you sure you've submitted it? MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:28, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Stax Inc.
At the top of my article for Creation (Stax Inc.), I got the following message:

This sandbox is in the Wikipedia talk namespace. Either move this page into your userspace, or remove the User sandbox template.

I'm not clear what I'm supposed to do (this is my first time trying to create an article). Thanks. Jks825 (talk) 21:21, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I've fixed it - by removing the template. I also removed the Address list section because advertising is not allowed on Wikipedia. I'm not going to do a full review now because I'm off to bed. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 22:07, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Many thanks for the help, Roger.Jks825 (talk) 15:49, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
