Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Royalist_Party_of_America
Alright, so 01. Why declined? And 02. Please tell me how I can get my political party listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.239.104.163 (talk) 02:47, 16 January 2014 (UTC)


 * The reviewer felt that it was written such as to promote the party. Political parties need significant coverage in independent sources to be included. Rankersbo (talk) 08:28, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ZEEKtheFREAK
Hi there, I haven't been on for a while,but I would love to keep my ZEEKtheFREAK page going,but I must admit,I am having difficulty getting started...is there Editing Wipipedia for dummies,I can maybe use. I have a question over references,I have newspaper clippings and wonder if that was useable.

Thank you for your time and I hope I can finally get this started thank you Yours Steven (zeek58) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeek58 (talk • contribs) 12:10, 16 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello, there's a good intro at WP:Your first article. If this article is about yourself though, I strongly suggest you read WP:Autobio to see why that's a bad idea. Note your draft was deleted due to sitting too long without being edited, but if you look on your Talk page it explains how to get it un-deleted if you want to develop it further. Newspaper articles that you have on paper are admissible (ones available online are easier for others to check, but not mandatory), but if you use the clippings make sure you mention what newspaper and what date they're from (and if possible what page).
