Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The parmelia race
I have written this article to replace the existing article "Parmelia Yacht Race" which contains a number of errors, and I also consider the information given is incomplete. The main error is the statement, "The event was the longest ever staged yacht race at the time."

Four "around the world" races were held in the earlier 1970s.

There were 28 starters in the race whereas the existing article says there were 38. Also, some of the media references shown in the existing acrticle also contain some errors; I consider some of them were due to taking some data out of context.

From 1976 to 1979 I was associated with the planning and management of The Parmelia Race and, just recently, I have been helping Royal Perth Yacht Club review their archives pertaining to the race. The "History" section on their web-page contained the "longest ever staged yacht race" statement and they now recognise it was an error, and have removed it. The club's Archivist has read my submission and he has approved it.

Please advise the best way for me to proceed to correct this situation.

 * There are two significant problems: 1 - You cannot write a new article to replace an already existing article, you must edit Parmelia Yacht Race. 2 - You can only use material published in independent, reliable sources.
 * You might want to suggest to the archivist that they get an article containing all the corrections published in a reputable magazine or newspaper - the club's own newsletter/magazine/website won't be acceptable as it is not independent. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:34, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I have corrected the link to the draft in the heading. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:39, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Oral health and dental management
Oral health and dental management is comes under the category of Dentistry and health care journal like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_for_Healthcare_Quality http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_Human_Rights_Journal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Journal_of_Health_SciencesDorisaviram (talk) 12:19, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * There is no problem with its "category" - the problem is there are not enough references to prove that it is Notable. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:53, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Halima Namakula

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/David Lerner Designs
Hi, I created a new article for creation, called David Lerner Designs, and it says that it is a draft and it is not submitted for review. How can I submit it for review? I think it should be good to go except for I am having trouble formatting the sources so that they are cited correctly as the right number (as in, the number after the sentences are good but the sources at the bottom don't match up). Here is my link for the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/David_Lerner_Designs thank you VivianKGomez (talk) 19:07, 30 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Click on the final line of the box at the top of the draft, "Submit your draft when you are ready for it to be reviewed!" --ukexpat (talk) 19:15, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

I did that, and it brings me back to the same page saying that it has not been submitted. Maybe it is getting this submission confused with an older one? (I tried submitting a page "David Lerner (Designer)" that was rejected, and I am now trying to submit a new one "David Lerner Designs" that is about the fashion line instead of about the designer himself.

Review of Henry Fry (merchant)
I need help with my brief article on "Henry Fry 1826-1896". I'm a total novice and this is probably the only article I will ever do. Does Wikipedia have writers who can edit articles & insert images & links? (LizAvison (talk) 19:21, 30 July 2013 (UTC))Liz Avison


 * I have moved the article to Henry Fry (merchant) - we use descriptions rather than dates to disambiguate. As to your questiosn, we don't have a separate group of "writers", we are all editors! What exactly do you need help with?--ukexpat (talk) 19:33, 30 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I have done some minor copy editing and formatting, added this article to the Henry Fry disambiguation page and removed the "orphan" tag.--ukexpat (talk) 19:47, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Champlain College
On November 10, 2012, my proposed article on the now-defunct Champlain College of Plattsburgh, New York, was rejected as not being definitive:

"This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources."

Dear Szentiványi,

The Wikipedia page "User talk:Szentiványi" has been changed on 10 November 2012 by Mephistophelian, with the edit summary: Your submission at Articles for creation (AFCH)

See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Szentiv%C3%A1nyi&diff=next&oldid=242757455 to view this change. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Szentiv%C3%A1nyi&diff=0&oldid=242757455 for all changes since your last visit. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Szentiv%C3%A1nyi for the current revision

To contact the editor, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mephistophelian

That's rubbish! I cite my own website because that's where the background info. IS! I cite the only published work. There are only two people left alive who attended that Champlain and are knowledgeable about it and promulgate their knowledge; one is Stratis Simon, whose site went down twice and will not be resurrected but will shortly be recreated on MY site, and the other is ME! Mephistophelian's rigid adherence to your complex rules precludes my adding to the vast fund of information that characterizes Wikipedia. You make it FAR too difficult to post entries (or even corrections). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.216.71.157 (talk) 19:42, 30 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I found three sources in just a few seconds: http://www.sbmonthly.com/?p=1259 - http://www.plattsburgh.com/index.php/viewvideo/4345/our-little-corner/champlain-college-history.html - http://www.plattsburgh.edu/library/specialcollections/files/champlaincollege.pdf
 * If the information that only you poses is really as valuable as you claim why don't you write a book, or donate it to a library or a local heritage organization so they can publish it?
 * Please read WP:AGF, your agressive attitude won't work here. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 20:34, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Article Question Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bonobos (Apparel)
Hello, I'm currently creating a page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bonobos (Apparel) and one of my paragraphs isn't showing up when I finish making edits. When I'm editing the content is there but when I save there it doesn't show up on the page. Do you know what might be the reason for this? Thanks! Rainor12 (talk) 20:18, 30 July 2013 (UTC)


 * That is usually caused by a missing closing ref tag - check all your references to make sure they are closed properly.--ukexpat (talk) 20:23, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

I checked and in that paragraph the citation is properly closed, could there be another issue? Here's the paragraph:

In 2010, the company received its first institutionally-driven financing round, raising $18.5 million from Accel Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners. As part of the round, Accel Partners’ Sameer Ghandi and Lightspeed Venture Partners’ Jeremy Liew, joined Bonobos’ board

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Enclos
I would like to receive an itemized list of the reasons my submission has been continually denied. I have attributed each piece of information with reputable media sources: Architectural Record, The Architect's Newspaper, and assorted national trade magazines. Each of these directly reference Enclos and the company's notability.

Thanks.

 * Please note that this editor has been warned on their user talk page about WP:COI and WP:PROMO, since all their edits concern the Enclos firm. This should be taken into account in determining whether the editor's submited article adheres to our WP:NPOV standard. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:00, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Review of Articles for creation/Next Generation Ballet
I have NO clue if my page I am trying to create is submitted for review (Next Generation Ballet) can someone please help? I have typed my draft, saved it, and keep trying to submit but it keeps telling me my article is NOT set to be reviewed. Lindsay.kohn (talk) 22:38, 30 July 2013 (UTC)


 * You had ended some of your references with ; everything afterwards was interpreted as part of one big, never-ending footnote. I fixed that; the draft is now submitted for review. By the way, if your sources are web sources, you should provide links. Huon (talk) 03:51, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
