I wanted to create the red cell transfusion page because there is a lot of information on red cell use that needs adding to Wikipedia and I think it warrants a page of its own. How do I respond to the comments so that I can say this on the draft page?

I've created a wiki page in french but I don't know how to submit it in the french version of wikipedia. Is there a way to copy my page into the french version of wikipedia ? More generally, how do I create pages in multiple languages ? I haven't found a language selector in the sandbox.

Thank you for your help, Laurent Bolli

 * Hi Laurentbolli - each language Wikipedia is entirely separate and operates independently with it's own rules, processes and systems. The French Wikipedia is at https://fr.wikipedia.org and its Help page is at https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Guilde_des_Guides
 * You create each language page separately in the relevant language Wikipedia. For guidance about translating articles to English from other language Wikipedias and from another language to English please see WP:TRANSLATE. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:44, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

My draft has been declined twice. The first time it said because I didn't have enough reliable sources. SO, I went through and made sure everything was cited correctly (most things were cited multiple times) and with sources such as newspapers and from the network channels she has performed on TV with as she is a musician. The second time it was declined was because the draft was "overly promotional" and also got a rude statement saying this isn't a place for advertising. First of all, if you read through my draft there is absolutely no bias at all. I don't see where anyone would feel that it is advertising. I would like to see exactly what pieces of text are promotional please. Everything that is stated can be supported by many of the sources I have included. Second, I was told not to use videos of performance as evidence. How is the website of the largest tv network in Sweden (similar to ABC or CBS in the states) with a video on their page of her performance (not through youtube) not the MOST reliable source there is? I say she performs on the morning show, I attach the network website with a clip of that said performance. I'm a bit pissed of as the first time it was because I didn't have enough sources and then when I add all the relevant sources, I'm somehow being too promotional? I would like someone to read over my draft and tell me exactly what it is that needs to be fixed. Sbehr710 (talk) 15:31, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi - The problem was that when you added your references, they weren't from reliable, independent sources, as the last editor pointed out in their comment. In the article, it's written to promote the artist, rather than speaking from a neutral tone. If you assert something had critical acclaim, add citations which back up that claim, which are from notable sources. If someone is "recognized" for something, then there should be plenty of citations from notable, independent reliable sources which back that claim up. Lines like "Her songs are mostly guitar driven with powerful and positive lyrics", and "she hopes her music can inspire and empower young girls to feel good about themselves" are definitely promotional. Listing the PR firm/management company is definitely promotional. The issue becomes when you have a short article like this, and there is promotional content, it makes the entire article feel like a promotion. Take a look at WP:RS about what a reliable source is. And it wouldn't hurt to look at WP:CIT on how to format citations. Hope this helps.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:32, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi there!

I've gone through a few iterations of the article for 55places.com, and I haven't had any success getting it into the Wikipedia community. Each time i have received the "lack of notability" rejection. I'm just curious if you could perhaps give me some insight into the exact type of notable citations or content which may help get me over the hump! I've also considered submitting it as a website as opposed to a business since while there is a brick & mortar 55 Places office, the company is based online.

I do see other similar sites/businesses which have made the cut, so any kind of tips you can provide would be great!

Thanks! -Adam

Request on January 29, 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by bweber888
I submitted an article about my mother Berta M. (Drechsel) Weber that includes information supplied by my siblings and me for her obituary, which was then scooped up by legacy.com. Rather than rewrite the text we'd previously written, I did cut and paste and make some minor revisions. Is it really necessary for me to rewrite the whole thing?
