Request on 01:38:21, 22 December 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Petra Kuraliova
Hello,

I would like assistance because I have been declined because the company is notable. However, I feel the opposite. What am I doing wrong? Can you please help?

 * Hi Petra Kuraliova - The problem is that the references you have provided do not provide substantive information about the company and/or are not from an independent reliable source. Many of the references are simply directory entries - all they prove that the company exists, that it has an address and has a licence to do business. As that is actually true of every single company that has ever existed, it simply does not demonstrate that the company is notable in the specific sense of the term here on Wikipedia. The few sources that do actually provide substantive detail seem to be press releases, written by, or on behalf of, the company or its associates - thus they are not independent. What you need to do is find legitimate mainstream news stories (written by professional journalists, not the company's employees or agents) that discuss some or other aspect of the company in significant and substantial detail. This could be either positive or negative news - some financial service companies make the news for their failures as much as successes. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:46, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Please explain why my submission was rejected. Wmonwaldon.rd (talk) 01:55, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Your submission was declined because it appears to be a poll similar to one that might appear on a web forum. Wikipedia is not a web forum, so you will have to host that content somewhere else. Please see the links I've left as a comment on the draft as well. Thanks! /wia 🎄 /tlk  01:58, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

My Draft for Frank Fairfax was ACCEPTED with a "C" Rating on December 16th, and I have since been making revisions and making links from related Wikipedia articles, including Dizzy Gillespie, William Oscar Smith, Charlie Shavers, Shadow Wilson, Calvin Jackson, Clyde Bernhardt, and the Philadelphia Clef Club. Therefore, it should no longer be regarded as an Orphan.

Since this is my first Wikipedia article, please let me know what else needs to be done in order to move this to its final destination? I would like to have this completed and available to the public before the end of the year.

Thank you.

 * I have removed the "orphan" tag, as no longer applicable. The article is already at its "final destination", which is Frank Fairfax. Maproom (talk) 09:38, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello,There is a page in wikipedia correponding to each and every year regarding the list of telugu movies released in that year.I created a page containing the list of telugu movies scheduled for release in 2016 and added the movies for which the release dates are out.But the article was declined saying movies may not be released on the scheduled date.As the year is about to end I think it is the right time to create that page.Pleae look into the matter.Thanks Vicky (talk) 12:47, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * No, the right time to create the page is after the films have been released. See WP:CRYSTAL. The draft should be kept as a draft until then. Maproom (talk) 15:59, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello, many thanks for accepting my submitted article "Éric A. Cohen" on Wikipedia. Also, thanks for constructive feedback throughout the process, highly appreciated !

I have a few questions about my initial submission, since certain passages seem to have been withdrawn by Wikipedia reviewers following my submission. I am looking to find out why this was the case and how could these passages be reintegrated to my article, if possible please.

1) In the "Awards" section, 1st sentence, there initially was a passage which went : "…in recognition of his research and for his contributions to the development and standing of the IRCM" right after "In 2012, Cohen received the Marcel-Piché prize awarded to an IRCM researcher...". I'm not sure why "…in recognition of his research and for his contributions to the development and standing of the IRCM" was withdrawn, since it simply describes the focus of the prize as such. For instance, the following sentence of the same section goes: "In 2014, he received the Pierre-Bois prize bestowed to an IRCM researcher for his philanthropic and institutional activities as well as his scientific outreach.". The part "...for his philanthropic and institutional activities as well as his scientific outreach." was maintained by reviewers which describes the prize, so why not keep the same in the previous sentence ?

2) Initially, the "Awards" section ended with this passage: "In 2015, Dr. Cohen and Dr. Mariana G. Bego, research associate in his laboratory, were named "Personalities of the Week" by the Montréal newspaper La Presse, which highlights the achievements of Quebec or Canadian personalities from different fields." I'm also wondering why this passage was withdrawn by the reviewers, since it is a notable award bestowed to this person and is also well documented through this reliable reference: http://plus.lapresse.ca/screens/da9ced03-0a00-4d75-8b04-165f72a5d442%7C_0.html. Could the fact that the reference is in the French language be the cause ?

3) In the "Biotechnology" section, the last sentence was initially "He was also the co-founder and chairman of Ecopia BioSciences, a Canadian genomics company developing novel drugs from microbial sources.". The reviewers took out "...developing novel drugs from microbial sources.", leaving the sentence as "He was also the co-founder and chairman of Ecopia BioSciences, a Canadian genomics company s." I don't understand why this is, since the passage which was taken out simply gives a short description of what exactly the company was developing. (Note that I then transformed the sentence into "He was also the co-founder and chairman of the Canadian genomics company Ecopia BioSciences.")

4) Initially there was a section named "Most Significant Publications" in the submitted article. This section was completely withdrawn. I don't understand why, since I observed this type of section for other Wikipedia articles about living persons, such as this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_S._Fauci (see the "Selected publications" section in the latter article)

5) Lastly, I see that the "orphan" tag is still indicated at the top of my article. I read about this on Wikipedia and on how to de-orphanize an article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Orphan). My article is among a list: See "Éric A. Cohen" here): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:HIV/AIDS_researchers. Hence, if this counts as a link towards my article, shouldn't my article be de-orphanized ? Or may I proceed myself with removing the orphan template, would this be o.k. ?

Many thanks for your valuable help and insight! Sabbags

 * All good questions, and better posed at WP:THQ since the draft was accepted. Any editor in good standing may remove any banner that has become irrelevant;t. They are applied and removed manually.
 * Try, now, to be the article's father, not its mother. Fiddle   Faddle  17:47, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
