00:17:43, 28 September 2014 review of submission by Jones.ben1977
I submitted an article about stand up comedian Steve Simeone and was declined by MatthewVanitas for "You must show that Simeone is extensively written about by media or academia". Can someone please explain what I need to include in the article that will satisfy this requirement? i.e more information? more external links?

Many Thanks

 * Because IMDB is not considered a reliable source, your draft currently only has one single independent reliable source, the SanDiego.com one. In accordance with VRS, it needs a lot more than that. Inline citations are more useful than external links, especially for articles about living people. You can see how to add inline citations at Referencing for beginners.


 * You could look at a recognised Wikipedia Good Article about a comedian, for example Seth MacFarlane, to see how references for a biography can be presented. However, your draft does not need to be that long to be accepted! Arthur goes shopping (talk) 06:48, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Go to the rejected daft and read the answer which was there for you already. Note that autoboographies are discouraged. See WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY and consider: If this is all you have to say about yourself, it is inevitable that an article will be rejected. Fiddle   Faddle  08:52, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Questions:

1. Can I link music/video files to all her catalog as its available free of cost.

2. I need help in the reference and cited area. I get this "This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. Please improve this article by introducing more precise citations." I have cited allot whats the difference to a inline reference and a cited link? I located the source. Created a permanent archive of the link and created a citation to each. Like so:

Greetings,

Please tell me, should you accept my Wikipedia submission, who owns the copyright? I would like to share my Wikipedia submission with the Rocky Mountain Map Society and they may wish to upload it to their website. But I will not do so if this would create a conflict on your end.

Many thanks.
