01:23:41, 9 November 2015 review of submission by Phillip.dunn626
Looking to get some more guidance on how to improve the notability of this drafted article. I've only included what I thought would be reputable sources (Forbes, ABC News, CNBC, etc.) and all the sources address the subject. I tried to follow up directly with the user who flagged the post but they haven't reached back out. This is my first article so all the feedback I can get is appreciated. Thanks.

 * That's fine. This is precisely what this review process is all about. I have left yo a full comment on the draft which will be of some help to you, I hope. Please do return to this section and ask further questions if you need to. Our role is to guide as much as we can. Fiddle   Faddle  11:13, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

I have googled and I cannot find any information on what a "copvio template" is. I believe the reason this draft was rejected was simply not enough sources. If there is an official minimum limit, I would be appreciate knowing what that limit is. Thanks you all!


 * I'm sorry. We should not use jargon. The prior reviewer was concerned about which set of standard words (template) to use for what was perceived as a copyright violation (0.9 probability). I have pushed it back to you for some detailed work, though it is currently borderline acceptable. I simply want you to bolt it into place. Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. Fiddle   Faddle  11:09, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Request on 14:38:53, 9 November 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Rebeccapeltz
I received a message that my article was not ready because I did not list enough references. "This is a start but there certainly have to be more than three sources talking about him overall."

I do have more references, but the ones I provided seemed to cover what I said and one of them includes a mountain of papers that would keep any historian busy for years. Is it that I need more references posted at the bottom, or do I need more content with references? I was hoping to get this posted and then let others fill in more. I'm happy to provide more references, and more content if needed. Please clarify.

 * Your approach is reasonable, but we need a little more. I have left you a fuller comment on the draft. Fiddle   Faddle  15:09, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

I am a writer and communications consultant and new to contributing to Wikipedia. I have reviewed the policy for disclosure when you have an affiliation with an organization or will be compensated for an article. Can you help me with exactly where to make the disclosure and a sample statement that will confirm I expect to receive compensation for a piece not yet published?

 * There are two places.
 * Your user page, where a statement of your devising is very likely to be acceptable
 * On the talk page of any draft or article you produce, in the following format (though the wording for the 'other links' parameter may alter):
 * I hope that answer meets your needs. I am sure others will offer an opinion if their view differs from mine. Fiddle   Faddle  22:03, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Question about timing
I'd like to know whether I could still improve the submission before the review. 20:09:22, 9 November 2015 review of submission by MHS78257


 * Yes, you can continually update materials. Wikipedia is always a work in progress. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  20:20, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. I want to submit my page - but it keeps saying it is just a draft, despite me hitting the 'save page' button. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Tammy_Parlour Can you confirm whether my page has been submitted or not. And if not, can you tell me how to submit it i.e. what I am doing incorrectly. Hope you can help - thanks

 * Hi, Bamboo01. Did you click on the green rectangle at the bottom of the grey box? It says: "Submit your draft when you are ready for it to be reviewed." Let us know if you are unable to click on that, because it should work. LaMona (talk) 23:12, 9 November 2015 (UTC)


 * ✅ Since you expressed a clear intention I have submitted this for you. Please continue to improve it while awaiting a review Fiddle   Faddle  23:26, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
