Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Eleven Past One
Why can't this article be submitted?? This band is notible and legit just got signed to Warner records in May and has a national hit on Billboard


 * When it was last reviewed and turned down for not complying with notability it didn't contain the information you've mentioned here, so if you think it's ready please resubmit it. I have done some cleaning up by removing the multiple duplications of the text. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:11, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Full topic authoring
Hi there

thanks for the quick review. I expected it to happen some weeks later.

As I understood the declination of the article correctly, the issue is, that the title is a neologism because it is not referenced enough within the article?

Although I accept your comment, it confuses me a little and I need to understand "neologisms" a little better: When I compare my article with e.g. Topic-based authoring, where is the difference? I cannot find sources for Topic-based authoring within the article either. Is that article also wrong or do I misunderstand something?

 * The problem is that you appear to be the only person in the whole world that calls it "full topic authoring" - your draft (and this section here on the Help page) are the only Google hits for the phrase. You need to show with references that other people also use this name for it. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:18, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

help with article preparation for publication
I have recently submitted the article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Rural Business School for publication several times. I seem to be missing the point of the rejection notifications and i would appreciate some more help with making my article suitable for publication.

Regards

 * Basically the article needs to use sources that are not directly connected with the subject - Notability means that people other than those who are directly involved with it, have taken note and written about it. In practice this means newspaper and magazine articles.Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:23, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/International Confederation of Music Publishers
Dear Wikipedia,

I recently submitted an article from my Sandbox for review.

However, it was rejected and deleted as it contained 'copyrighted information'.

I'm not sure I understand. I wrote this based on information I created myself and didn't copy any information from other sources.14:26, 24 June 2013 (UTC)212.35.97.73 (talk)

Can you provide me with some details about where I went wrong?

Many thanks, Tom O'Connell ICMP (International Confederation of Music Publishers)

 * Wikipedia's copyright is a bit unusual. Basically, anything you write on Wikipedia can be reused by anybody, and even sold. To give a rather extreme but perfectly permissible example, somebody could take the contents of my talk page, turn them into a book and sell it on Amazon for $99.99 - they'd be insane and nobody would buy it but they would not be violating copyright. Because this is a little unusual, we need you to explicitly say you are okay with your own words being reused on Wikipedia under this licence. The easiest way to overcome this is simply to re-write the article again in their own words. Also, try and use other sources, such as news or trade magazines, that talk about the ICMP as a third-party. This Music Week source might be suitable, though it talks more about Ralph Peer than the ICMP itself. Ritchie333  (talk)  (cont)   14:39, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ShowMyPC
Hello,

I am requesting input to complete the submission for ShowMyPC, which was rejected last week.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ShowMyPC

The free services using open source technologies provided by ShowMyPC help millions of individuals and small business users every month. Companies providing similar services do have wiki pages. eg. Bomgar, Crossloop, Teamviewer. To be a fair and open platform, it is imperative that wikipedia allows entries for other services as well.

Please advise on what to change to make this entry acceptable/publishable.

Thanks, Stew2013 (talk) 17:59, 24 June 2013 (UTC)


 * You cannot use other articles as justification for your article; each submission must stand on its own merits. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
 * Wikipedia content should be based on significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, such as articles in newspapers or reputable tech magazines. Your draft's sources look like a blog and a mix between a press release and a forum to me; neither shows any evidence of editorial oversight, and the press release might just as well be written by the company itself.

 * For all I can tell you haven't made any edits to Wiktionary; the draft linked above is at the English Wikipedia, which is a separate project. Contributions to one project cannot be moved to the other; if you intended to write a Wiktionary article you will have copy and paste the content. Huon (talk) 04:59, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lucius Aurelius Marcianus
Why can I not use the citation templates whilst drafting this article?Pjbjas (talk) 22:32, 24 June 2013 (UTC)


 * There's no reason not to use citation templates in article drafts; see WP:Referencing for beginners on how to easily add footnotes to an article. In some past versions you had a tag; maybe that was your problem? Huon (talk) 04:59, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
