 * Couple of points here:


 * 1) Move your references inline- there should not just be a dump of links at the bottom. A guide that might help you is Wp:Referencing for beginners but essentially place next to each claim in the article e.g. "He also acquired a Master’s degree in Management of Technology from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute."
 * 2) You also need to make the article read less like a CV- if you look at some good biography articles you'll note that one thing they all do is talk about their subject in a neutral manner- currently, your submission (and headings) read like something out of a CV. One tutorial that might help is WP:NPOV.
 * 3) As the reviewer pointed out (I haven't had time to check myself), you need to prove the subject's notability. All subjects on Wikipedia have to be fundamentally notable to get an article on Wikipedia. On the decline box on top of the article there's some helpful advice with a number of links showing how your subject can prove that they're notable. I shan't repeat the contents here fully but essentially what it boils down to is having a number of media reports or news coverage that talk about your subject in depth e.g. interviews.
 * I hope that helps. jcc (tea and biscuits) 16:33, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I need assistance from wikipedia team to make improvement about a wikipedia page which i have created
 * I presume what the reviewer meant was that some claims were not cited e.g. "Under the guidance of Ketan, Mahesh practiced tattooing for 6 years. After that he joined LS Raheja School of Arts, Bandra where he chose portraits as his area of specialization". I am not entirely sure though, so I have pinged TheSandDoctor who may be able to help further as they reviewed your article. jcc (tea and biscuits) 17:00, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping . JCC is correct. I have added some citation needed templates to the draft in areas that I feel could use citing. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. I will be monitoring this particular discussion periodically but a 'ping' (using  in your message) would be helpful to make sure that I see any responses sooner. Please also remember to sign your messages with ~ . --TheSandDoctor (talk) 17:05, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi there, I know that there are many articles in the waiting line. I would kindly ask if someone could have a look on my article as it has some urgency. I do not know if there is a special procedure in case of urgency to ask for a faster revision process and would be grateful to know more about it. Thanks so much WorldH (talk) 13:30, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

 * What urgency could there possibly be for an article about a village? Wikipedia has no deadlines. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:11, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks to Legacypac for the fast review response. Submission was not accepted because "it appears to be taken from http://www.scaht.org/organisation. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain..." but http://www.scaht.org/organisation is in the public domain, isn't it? (also, I co-wrote it). What do I have to do - maybe change the wording slightly? REFinch (talk) 16:50, 4 July 2017 (UTC) REFinch (talk) 16:50, 4 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid the www.scaht.org website content is not public domain. This is what the site says about their copyright:
 * "Copyright © 2014 SCAHT. All Rights Reserved. Downloading or copying of texts, illustrations, photos or any other data does not entail any transfer of rights of the content. Copyright and any other rights relating to texts, illustrations, photos or any other data available on the SCAHT website are the exclusive property of the SCAHT or of any other expressly mentioned owners. Any reproduction requires the prior written consent of the copyright holder."
 * You will need to reword it entirely, "slightly" will not do. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:06, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Dodger67, this is more complicated than I thoughtREFinch (talk) 17:28, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
