07:12:38, 19 October 2015 review of submission by Fnorp
I don't get it. How is this architect not notable enough? Almost every person who ever got paid for kicking a ball has an article, but an architect who designed dozens of buildings on both sides of the Atlantic can not have one? The only explanation I get is a couple of links to some of the far too many (usually very much hidden and quite incomprehensible) guidelines. Finding references isn't easy, and adding them is a hell of a job. Where's all the fun gone? Why not simply accept this subject as a stub if it doesn't meet all the requirements. Surely there were enough sources mentioned? There has been an article about this architect on the Dutch Wikipedia for four years already. I thought it was encouraged to translate such articles?

 * Hi Fnorp. I agree with you re the notability. I note that another of his buildings in Louisville (The Cumberland/York Towers) is on the National Register of Historic Places. See . I'm signing off for the day. But tomorrow I'm going to move this into article space, and I'll expand further on your talk page. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 18:36, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

 * You seem to be here to publicise yourself. That will always fail. Please be very careful to read and understand WP:COI. Fiddle   Faddle  17:38, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

09:13:46, 19 October 2015 review of draft by Ratz haut
Ratz haut (talk) 09:13, 19 October 2015 (UTC) Hi, I'm trying to upload an image onto our page. It seems that I have put it into Wikipedia commons - can I take it from there to include on our page? If so, how do I do that? If not, what can I do to use this image on our page? Thanks (& apologies if these are really dumb questions!) I'd be grateful for really simple-to-follow guidelines!
 * Hi - not stupid at all. The first question is regarding its copyright. Is it copyrighted material?  If so, you can't add it on Commons. If not, you are encouraged to do so. If it is copyrighted, there are still cases where you can use it under a fair use doctrine. WP:IUP is a nice link which goes over our image use policy, and WP:FAIRUSE goes over the fair use doctrine, and when you can and can't use non-free images.


 * If you want to upload, it's actually pretty simple. On the left side toolbar, there is a "tools" section. Click on the "Upload file". It brings you to the upload wizard. If you're going to upload on Wikipedia, simply click on the big "Click here to start the Upload Wizard", and then follow the instructions (they are pretty self-explanatory). If you want to add on Commons, below that big Upload Wizard is a box, and in the box in the upper left hand corner is "Commons", the first selection under that is "Commons Wizard", click that and it will take you to Commons. Commons is actually even easier to upload on. If you have any further questions, a better venue to ask is at Media copyright questions. Hope this helps.

 * Hello User:Onel5969. "Is it copyrighted material? If so, you can't add it on Commons" - this is not quite right. If the image is copyrighted and Ratz haut owns the copyright, then Ratz haut can indeed upload it to Commons if he is willing to freely license it. Freely licensed is not the same thing as "not copyrighted".


 * I wonder if the problem is the use of a PDF file instead of an image format such as GIF or PNG. JPEG would also work although is less suitable for this type of image. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 11:06, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Request on 13:10:09, 19 October 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by LaSch
Hi, I need help with my article. A reviewer declined it and said, it would sound like an advertisment. I do not think so, but if others maybe think the same, then I would like to know, which sentences or passages are promotional, so I can change them. It would be great, if some of you could help me, so that my article gets accepted. Many thanks, LaSch.

 * Sorry to be blunt, but almost all of it sounds promotional to me. To be accepted, the Draft would need to focus on concrete facts, backed by sources, rather than the sort of things one would read in a corporate brochure.


 * increase organizations’ innovation capacity and competitiveness through a systematic approach to Innovation Management
 * an online tool to benchmark important aspects of Innovation Management with innovation support services such as training and certification in Innovation Management, consulting and technical assistance as well as research on innovation topics
 * offering and expanding the established services on an ongoing basis
 * maintains an advisory board with members from various sectors
 * to develop and render better services in support of Innovation Management
 * developed and implemented the various IMP³rove services on an international scale


 * The lengthy details about a non-notable award are also unnecessary. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 14:13, 19 October 2015 (UTC)


 * It also currently does not satisfy VRS (most of the sources provided are associated with the organization) so it would be rejected on those grounds even if the promotional language were removed. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 14:15, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
