08:49:04, 23 January 2015 review of submission by Barmee
Hi - I've edited this draft for the author Tim Harvey. I know it will take a while to be considered but can you just confirm that my edited version is now ion the queue to be reviewed? Barmee (talk) 08:49, 23 January 2015 (UTC)


 * No, it isn't in the queue to be reviewed, because in you removed the submission tags.  I've put them back for you, and you'll see a "Resubmit" button. Use that, and the draft will be back in the queue. --David Biddulph (talk) 14:47, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Don't worry. All the spare tags will be tidied up when your draft is reviewed.  I've put nowiki tags around the relevant part of your question above, as otherwise the system thinks that this page here is a draft AFC submission. - David Biddulph (talk) 14:40, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Request on 15:16:47, 23 January 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by 74.92.76.189
Hello, I received an email informing me that my article for the American Treasure Tour was declined for inclusion in Wikipedia. Please let me know if there is anything I need to do to improve the article - does the issue relate to the quality of the writing or research?

 * Please review the comments posted to the top of Draft:American Treasure Tour: "the tone of the article needs to be addressed - it should be just the facts - light on adjectives unless you're quoting directly from reliable source." --Ahecht ([[User_talk:Ahecht|'''TALK

 * Hello Ira1942, the tool http://reftag.appspot.com only works for GoogleBooks. For non-GoogleBooks links, the tool is WP:Reflinks. I wish it were easier, but the best tools are kinda spread out right now. I ran Reflinks, and it fixed all but one of your links.


 * Moving on, your draft does need some other work. Among other issues:
 * You're formatting your footnotes right, but you're just piling them all at the end of the article instead of actually footnoting any particular group of facts to that source. See WP:Referencing for beginners for advice.
 * I explained last week on your Talk page how to do this, please give that a look
 * Please divide the draft up into sections, not just one big block of text. See WP:Sections
 * Lastly, have you read WP:Autobiography yet, as recommended to you? MatthewVanitas (talk) 23:32, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
