Hello! I need to request an existing wikipedia editor to edit my article. How can i get help from other editors who can willingly rework on the article. My existing article can serve as a reference draft. Thanks MelitaFernandes (talk) 07:05, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Hello, and welcome to the Help Desk! I declined your draft because it did not show why the company was suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. (This is known as "notability".) In order to be considered for acceptance, such articles require a variety of high-quality references from reliable sources, and the coverage therein should be significant and in-depth. At the time of submission, one reference was to the company's own website, meaning it is not an independent source of information and thus does not help show notability. Keep in mind that the references you cite should be about Zoe Records, not by Zoe Records.
 * I see you have added some new references to the draft. Can you provide some more information about them so that future reviewers and readers can track them down? The type of bibliographic information needed includes date of publication, author, magazine, page number, publishing house and the like. Then we can find those sources and assess them.

 * Do you have a conflict of interest? You should expect conflict-of-interest drafts to be reviewed critically.  Robert McClenon (talk) 17:36, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Hello, and welcome to the Help Desk. Do you have a specific question about your draft? It was declined because it does not contain any content. Further, note that writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged, due in large part to the conflict-of-interest issues it raises. Thanks, /wiae  ★  /tlk  17:33, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Any help would be much appreciated to make this draft about Carlos Miranda acceptable. The first two paragraphs do not have inline citations. Is this why the draft has been rejected? Is there anything else that requires amendments in any way? I would be happy to comply with any requirements that I can understand more specifically. Thanks for your help. Jesus Rey-Joly


 * Hi, User:Jesus Rey-Joly. I just had a look at the draft. I clicked through on some of the references and there are some problems. If you haven't already done so, go read wp:rs which is the page about "reliable sources." You've used some sources that don't meet the criteria there. For example, the svrproducciones source is a sales site, and that is not a reliable source. I know that you were intending to link to proof that the album exists, but in this case it's best not. The "list of students by teacher" and the Zoominfo entry also should be removed. If you would like, I could go through and edit out the sources that shouldnt' be there, then we could see where the gaps are. I think we can make this work.

 * Hello, and welcome to the Help Desk. Your draft was declined because it is in French. This is the English-language Wikipedia. You may want to consider joining the French-language Wikipedia. Thanks, /wiae  ★  /tlk  23:05, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Could you please point out specific sentences where you feel the article reads like an advertisement as now that is the message I am getting for non publication? I will happily rewrite with some specific feedback. Is there anything specific I should delete altogether? Thank you! Cgelineli (talk) 21:24, 11 January 2016 (UTC)cgelineli

I don't know how to put the footnotes into the biography of Adriana Sanford. Is it possible to have someone assist me with this part?
