I have submitted the draft several times. I appreciate the help you and the other editors have given me, but every time the draft is rejected I make the changes you suggest, and every time there seem to be new things that need changing. Following your last rejection of my submission I have corrected citations where you noted ‘not in citation’. I have added citations where you noted ‘citation needed’. I have deleted entries where I could not provide a citation. The only citation I have not changed is citation 11. Please have another look at this as I believe it does support the statement. If you click ‘html’ and read the cited article, you will find the following sentence: ‘In expressing her disappointment that Canada does not seem have nurtured (yet!) a particularly local version of the British JK Rowling, Phillip Pullman or Brian Jacques, or the US’s Tamora Pierce, Robin McKinley or Ursula le Guin, or even the Australians Patricia Wrightson, Garth Nix or Anna Ciddor, she establishes an expectation ...’ In this sentence the fantasy writers listed from the UK, US and Australia are given as examples of top writers in each country. Doesn't this support the statement that Anna Ciddor has been described as one of the top fantasy writers in Australia? Thank you again for your help.Retengineer (talk) 12:56, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
 * LaMonda gave you some advice which you seemed to have follow. Resubmit it and someone will take another look. jcc (tea and biscuits) 19:00, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi all, I understand that my "Visions for Children" draft was denied due to the lack of proof of notability. In terms of finding more "in-depth" references, is it OK if I continue using German language sources/newspapers, or would that also be a reason for denying the article?
 * Nope, German language sources are fine as long as they prove its notability. jcc (tea and biscuits) 19:01, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

About Draft:Carlos Miranda
Hello, I would be grateful if an editor were to review my latest draft for draft: Carlos Miranda with its recent amendments. Several in-line citations were added, others were deleted according to feedback received from subsequent editors (LaMona, etc.) The last draft was submitted on 21st January and I haven't yet heard from anyone.

On the 9th of January there was this conversation between editors:

I reviewed Draft:Carlos Miranda and declined it as not having adequate in-line citations for a biography of a living person. User:95.210.108.58 then posted to my talk page: "Please be so kind to be more specific on your objections and I'll be too willing to comply when you illuminate me more on what is missing, what is not good enough, etc." I had mentioned that the first three paragraphs of the draft have no footnotes. Can some other experienced editor either explain to the author in more detail about the strict rules for footnotes in BLPs or explain to me why I am being too strict? Robert McClenon (talk) 19:40, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: Personally, I would have accepted that draft in its current state (or at least not declined it for failing WP:MINREF, I haven't looked closely at the sourcing). In my opinion, the purpose of that decline template is to see if there are any moderate or serious WP:BLP violations or unsourced quotes that could pose copyright problems. A general rule I use in AfC is, "If it can remain in mainspace without any significant, immediate changes and I would be willing to defend it in a deletion discussion, I will accept it. Winner 42 Talk to me! 04:28, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Should I go on waiting? Is there anything I could do to better the draft according to any comments?

Jesus Rey-Joly (talk) 11:56, 1 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Jesus Rey-Joly You could simply resubmit it for another review, it seems the lack of references problem has been addressed. If you don't actually resubmit it nothing will happen, you will simply wait and wait and wait.... [User:Dodger67|Roger (Dodger67)]] (talk) 13:28, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

19:11:03, 1 February 2016 review of submission by Rustberg
This is the first Wiki article I've created and I need help/advice regarding the images I've placed. One of them was rejected and I was sent a link to understand Wiki requirements for free license of images. I have to say honestly that the article just made me more confused. Some of my images are photos of my orchestra, others are artwork from poster. It seems that even photos I've taken myself are not allowed since copyright law applies. Should I just remove ALL of my images? If you could help me to understand this better, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your help.--Russell

What I have written is not for publication on Wikipedia, rather it is a message to the author of the referenced item pointing out some errors. I would be grateful if I could somehow contact thee author of the article/images to discuss the matter.

00:23:27, 2 February 2016 review of submission by Nena Valnz
Hello. I have cited many items for Brian D. Lerner. I even showed a Ninth Circuit landmark case he won in front of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals the rights of persons in countries to get asylum in the U.S. if the whistleblow on the corruption in that country.

Can you help me know what else I can do here?

Thank you.

04:28:04, 2 February 2016 review of draft by Sethpw
I created a draft page for Norman Baxter. When I hit the big square button to submit it, it takes me to a screen with an empty page. I don't want to hit save because it will delete what I did. How I am supposed to sumbit it? You might be able to see it in my drafts. for Sethpw. Thanks.

 * Hi! I've gone ahead and submitted the draft for review for you. (You'll know it's submitted when you see the yellow box with the words "Review waiting".) In the future, if you'd like to resubmit a draft, you can do that by clicking the "save button" when you are taken to the new screen. You can also submit by adding the text to the draft. A reviewer will be along in the coming days or weeks to give you some feedback on the draft. I just took a quick look and do suggest adding any more sources that discuss Baxter if you have any. Books, magazines, newspapers and the like (whether online or offline) are good places to look. Thanks!  /wiae   /tlk  04:35, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Request on 10:24:13, 2 February 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by JeremySiegfried
Hello there,

I do not understand what the problem with the sources is? I have noted all the sources I have found which are also reliable...?

And the following comment regarding life sience:

Comment: I think the emphasis here is wrong. Everything is about how much the company is worth, its acquisitions, etc., but what would make the company notable would be information about what it creates in terms of life science. WP is not a financial journal, but there is an interest in science. LaMona (talk) 16:30, 6 December 2015 (UTC)  It is actually said in field of activity.

Thank you very much for helping me.

RE: Buchshot Wilson: I have a substantial amount of data to support my entry but am unsure as how to enter it. Many are newspaper articles and photos from family members. 204.48.103.46 (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Jantaylor24 (talk) 17:47, 2 February 2016 (UTC) Why is the box on the right showing my username and sandbox above John Finch picture? shouldn't that be his name?

21:23:12, 2 February 2016 review of submission by DmitryPopovRU
I have a question on this draft. It has been approved once before. After it has since been improved etc. If it is approved again can this not be deleted right away? An editor deleted it after it hit the mainspace as it had to go through a deletion review. I would like the decision to be made if it goes through a deletion nomination instead of a undeletion review. I just got 'no consensus' for the deletion review and I really want to just get this article to the mainspace and for it to be worked on there. The sources date from 2 years now to now. It has had alot of work. That is all I ask. Please review if you can. Can an admin please unblock Alex Gilbert from creation? Thank You --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 21:23, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

22:46:04, 2 February 2016 review of submission by Mbarryed
Hi, I've submitted an article, but it has a 2 at the end of the title. Someone asked why it is there, but I don't know why – I didn't put it there and I don't know how to get rid of it. I also uploaded 2 pics, but 1 has randomly disappeared, after initially appearing on the page and looking great. As a novice, any advice is much appreciated, thanks!

 * Hello! The draft has been submitted for review and an experienced reviewer will assess it in the coming days or weeks. At first glance, the inline citations appear to be well done. Thanks, /wiae   /tlk  08:16, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
