 * Hello, do you have a specific question about a draft? Thanks, /wiae   /tlk  03:29, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Request on 03:58:45, 21 February 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Skandaleas
Can you show me an example of how an article should satisfy the required (English) language to be accepted before its publication.

 * Hi Skandaleas, it is a very simple rule, perhaps the simplest one we have: Articles must be written in English. Any recognised standard variety of English is acceptable - British, American, Australian, Indian, South African, etc. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 06:28, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you're asking for examples of articles at the time they were accepted, you can find a list of recently accepted articles here. They're highlighted in green. The national variety and standard of English will vary. Worldbruce (talk) 06:44, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are wondering about general requirements that articles must meet, you may find what you are looking for at guidelines for notability. If you want to know what an article should look like, try the simple manual of style.

Hi. My article was declined due to issues of notability, and I'm not quite sure how I can better establish notability. All of the sources I cited are reliable, and the stance in the article is verifiable within those sources. I would appreciate suggestions. Thank you.

 * Draft:Home Is Where The Jobs Are cites sources that are good ones for the topic of telecommuting, but none mention the blog "Home Is Where The Jobs Are". There need to be multiple sources with a significant depth of coverage about the blog. A cursory search turned up no such sources. It may be unrealistic of you to expect an 18-month-old venture to have had the significant and demonstrable effects that would garner substantial attention from the world at large and thereby justify its inclusion in Wikipedia.

 * What was "unrealistic" was the expectation that I only needed provide sources for the overall topic of telecommuting, but none about the blog. Thanks for the clarification.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldallas55 (talk • contribs) 04:50, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

21:58:04, 21 February 2016 review of submission by VERVE CONNECTIONS
What I really want to do is to describe some community awards that have been set up in the UK so that people know about the background and purpose of them. Because people in the USA, UK and Caribbean are interested to know about them and also the winners and nominees over the years to be posted about them. But instead, i used my username as I am not really that good at reading and understanding what I am supposed to do to complete this task. Can you please help me to change the title of the article from Verve Connections to The Mixed Blessings Awards (MBA's)? VERVE CONNECTIONS (talk) 21:58, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
