Request on 06:33:57, 15 February 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Chinmaygupta28
Hi Team, I have submitted an article Draft: Flexing It which has neither been reviewed nor published as an article. Would like to know if there is some step pending at my end or reviewer's didn't have time to go through it?

I am keen to cover the active start-ups in India and this was first in the series as this start-up ha recently raised funds and getting increasing coverage in Indian & SEA media. Let me know when would it be published?

 * Hello, please focus on getting the article published first, then afterwards let's add images. If the images are definitely, verifiable pre-1923, they are out of copyright and can be uploaded directly to Wikimedia Commons. If their provenance is unclear, or they are post-1923, you can only upload them if you yourself, personally, are the copyright holder, as in you yourself personally took the photograph. If you are the photographer, you can also upload them to Wikimedia Commons provided you check the box agreeing that you are releasing the photos under Creative Commons. You may not use any post-1923 photos taken by another person, government website, newspaper, etc. unless the copyright holder fills out a specific WP:OTRS form for Wikipedia (no, not just a "they sent me an email and said it's okay", they have to fill out the form).


 * Hope this helps, but the key takeaway is: finish the article first, then worry about photos. No point solving the photo puzzle if the article doesn't publish. I've left you comments on your draft to guide you to getting it finished, and I see no reason that it won't eventually publish once you get it properly cleaned-up. Cool article, looking forward to seeing it done! MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:29, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello there,

I request assistance on the revision of the draft "Extended mathematical programming".

This is the first time I attempted to write a Wikipedia article and the draft was modeled on the Wikipedia article on SAMPL. I request some guidance on how to revise it, since I do not know where to start. Is it too long? Too much detail? Too many examples? Please advise.

Thank you. Talomar (talk) 22:17, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
