 * - Looks like the draft you were creating was deleted for unambiguous advertising. You can't use promotional language, or use wikipedia to promote a company, product or otherwise. See WP:NPOV.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:17, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

09:44:45, 9 April 2018 review of submission by 139.47.30.125
Hi there. I've applied the requested modification to my article after it was initially declined. My article is now awaiting re-review since early February, so I was wondering if you can give me an estimate on when it will be re-reviewed and/or if there is any action I could take to speed up the process. Thanks a lot!

 * It was accepted earlier today. I have fixed a few minor issues and added a maintenance tag to request improved referencing. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:51, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. I've added citations of reliable sources for verification, as per request in maintenance tag. May I ask what is the procedure to remove such tag? Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panznet (talk • contribs) 08:33, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

12:04:27, 9 April 2018 review of submission by Davidbavin
I have had the above article declined on grounds of it reading too much like an advert rather than an encyclopaedia entry. I understand and accept this point, but I wanted to ask if there were anymore tips on how I could ensure that the article is more likely to pass. Are there any sectors in particular that need working on or removing entirely?

Many thanks, Davidbavin (talk) 12:04, 9 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi - I removed what I considered the advertising (The article still needs some cleanup for tone, and such), and added an infobox, before going ahead and accepting the article.  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 12:31, 9 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks very much for accepting. Any suggestions for tone clean up please just let me know. thanks

Draft:Derek Williams (musician)

The Discogs copyright issue arose because I supplied Dr Williams with a draft of my opening introduction for him to verify its accuracy, which he then paraphrased and submitted to Discogs, without realising this would infringe copyright. I am the sole author of the material. Dr Williams has now arranged for this to be removed, so the only copy should now be that on Wikipedia.
