15:09:26, 28 October 2018 review of submission by Vdrapalova
Hello,

Unfortunately yesterday I received a note that my submission was declined due to a potential COI (that the artcile reads more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia). As I have spent months researching the subject I am writing about (studying hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles, TV and online interviews, books, etc.) and really tried my best to make a high quality wiki entry, I am actually quite crushed as I have no idea what might have indicated advertising or COI. I am someone who loves mountaineering and climbing and felt that there is no mention of him on English WIKI page while he is probably the most accomplished Czech climber of all times who also belongs to top climbers of the world (this year he received the highest global award).

As I don't know the subject personally and thus have no clue how can I be in COI, I would really appreciate someone's help to add, change whatever is needed to make it OK for submission. There is already a Czech WIKI page on him but I wanted to make it richer on information and sources for the EN one.

Thanks in advance for your support and help.

Best,

vdrapalova

 * Your writing was too positive. Normally people who write about how great something is are doing it to promote something they are close to, or to promote themselves. The decline for "it doesn't read neutrally" has all that included as standard. All that said, you could do with adding more references. You don't need a link to make a reference, offline newspaper and such are fine. As Theroadislong has tidied the article a little I have taken the opportunity to accept the draft and promote it to article space. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 16:08, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello! I named my first article "Anthony Porter", forgetting there was already a page with that title. I'm wondering how I can rename the article so that I'm not attempting to duplicate a page, perhaps something like Anthony Porter(Activist) or something similar.

Thank you!
