Hi, I would like to know which are the exact statements that may need citation. Presume I have included all relevant ones. Appreciate advise.

 * Hello, Shanthini. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.  In brief answer to your question,  of the statements need citations.  This does not necessarily mean that every sentence needs an individual citation -- if all of the material in a given paragraph is coming from the same source, then putting a citation to that source at the end of the paragraph will be acceptable.  But this is just a special case that doesn't change the basic rule --  in your article needs to have come from a reliable source and you need to tell the reader where you got that information.  I hope this response has been helpful.  If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 06:49, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Is there a way to group the references by letters, like a, b, and c instead of repeating the same reference multiple times? I know it is possible, but I am still confused how. I've tried referencing the same source as just a link, but it adds it to my reference list as a different and new material. Thank you! (like references 1, 3, and 5 are all the same link, instead of reference A of the same source, reference B of the same source, and so on.)

 * Hello, Latios. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.  Yes, there's a way to consolidate what we call "multiple-use references".  You can read about it at Help:Footnotes.  If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 06:34, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Someone should accept this article! It has over 1200 references. It is about a notable topic. It contains views pro and con (neutrality). It has everything you'd want in an encyclopedia article. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but best of all, you'll learn something. Accept today!Ignore All Rules (talk) 05:08, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Please help to know weakness of page submitted to publish. Kindly direct how to make page as per your expectation
 * There are many weaknesses. It is excessively promotional. It is full of unreferenced claims. It appears to be an autobiography. It provides no evidence that its subject is notable. Maproom (talk) 15:35, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

I don't know why the article About professor Gruwez, one of the pioneers of medical surgery in Belgium is not accepted. I have checked other pages about surgeons on Wikipedia, i have tried to write in the same style but the article is refused. Can you help me?

 * The reason is explained in the rejection notice. That is the grey box inside the pink box at the top of the draft. Maproom (talk) 15:29, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
