01:30:36, 13 October 2017 review of submission by Matthew8187
It said the article did not have citations, but I did place citations. What really confuses me is I used a reference of another local church and that page on wikipedia has no references yet is published. Please help. (See link below to reference church)

 * Hi user:matthew8187 - The problem with the citations in this article are more to do with three of the four references being direct primary sources. Wikipedia is made up of pages sourced by secondary sources. I'm sure with a little bit more notoriety it will pass AfC. The other page you linked did not go through AfC. Hope this helps With Thanks - Lee Vilenski(talk) 13:39, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

2604:2000:F604:8000:69CC:E08:3C28:AAF5 (talk) 13:11, 13 October 2017 (UTC) i recently submitted a profile for a new client for wikipedia - Jeffrey Citron - it was declined due to sourcing i think. Can you help me with that so it is posted.

I added some more sources to this after it was rejected. Are there still any problems? Thanks. Arboryama (talk) 15:28, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello, Arboryama. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.  Our apologies for the great delay in response.  I think, with the sources added since the last decline, this draft is acceptable for publication.  I reach this decision mainly on the basis of the subject's having co-written an Angouleme award-winning work.  Unfortunately, you cite this fact only to a catalog biography that was almost certainly written either by the subject himself or by someone associated with him.  I've added a "better source needed" tag to the statement, but am prepared to accept the draft for publication even with this tag in place.  So, all that is needed now is for you to re-submit the draft for review.  When you do, drop a note on my Talk page and I'll see that the draft gets published.

Benonaji (talk) 16:27, 13 October 2017 (UTC) This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time. The comment the reviewer left was: needs independent sources

23:07:04, 13 October 2017 review of submission by Carolinadreamin
I'm looking for guidance on making sure my edits for the article Solar Power in Pennsylvania are good. In particular: - Is the tone on-point, or is it laudatory or critical? - How should I write the introductory paragraph? - How large should the images be here?

Thank you for your help

 * Hi,, It turns out the article you are trying to create already exists in Wikipedia. You can now improve it here: Solar power in Pennsylvania. Thank you. Ammarpad (talk) 09:27, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
