Hi, I just wanted to ask how can we and what to edit to keep this Article here. Everything is written here is correct and I know this is e company in this country. This must not have aby global interest but in this small country everyone know it.

 * First, the Terms of Use require you to make a formal paid editing disclosure. I will place information about this on your user talk page. You should also read conflict of interest.
 * You have a common misunderstanding about Wikipedia. This is not a place for people and businesses to tell the world about themselves. It is not a directory where mere existence warrants inclusion. This is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion, called notability. For businesses, that is written at WP:ORG. An article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets that definition of a notable company. Your company doesn't have to have a global presence to merit an article, but it must receive significant coverage that goes beyond merely documenting its activities. Your draft was rejected, and will not be considered further. I would suggest that you abandon attempting to edit about your company, and allow an independent editor to, on their own, take note of coverage of your company and organically decide to write about it. That's the best indicator of notability. Please also read about an article is not necessarily a good thing. 331dot (talk) 10:37, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to get some input as my edit was denied due to reading like an advertisement. I found and quoted outside references of news articles and information about service dogs, referenced other wiki pages, and didn't use information from the website. I am also an outside source from this organization. I wanted to know what additional sources I should be using as I followed the guidelines or how I can improve this. I saw other nonprofit organizations on here and thought this would be a nice addition as I know some people who's lives were changed by service dogs.

 * @Itsglt: you need to remove all peacocky expressions like "dedicated", "profound", etc., not to mention "unleashing the incredible power of service dogs"; these have no place in an encyclopaedia article.
 * You also need to improve your referencing, as two sources, each cited only once, isn't enough to properly support the article contents or to establish notability. Every material statement should be backed up by a reliable published source, clearly cited so that others can verify the information. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 05:55, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

The article I wrote called 'Radiosands' has been on review for a very, very long time. I hope there would be a way to speed up the reviewing process. Kind regards

 * @Artandarchives: there are c. 3,000 pending drafts in the system, and it can take several months for a draft to be reviewed. That said, now that you've flagged this up, I have reviewed your draft, and declined it for the reasons enumerated in the decline notice. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:27, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for such a fast response regarding your decision on my Draft:QuipuSwap! But could you get me the reason why my draft was rejected as well as the points that need to be changed if I still would like to publish it?

Mykola Bieliavskyi (talk) 14:05, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Your draft was declined, not rejected. These words have specific meanings- "declined" means resubmisson is possible, "rejected" means that it is not.  Your draft tells of the existence of QuipuSwap and what it does.  This is not what we are looking for. Any article about it must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. "Significant coverage" goes beyond the mere reporting of the activities of the company or documenting its existence, and goes into detail about the significance or influence of the company, as the source sees it, not as the company sees it.  Press releases, staff interviews, announcements of routine business activities, brief mentions, and the like do not establish notability. Please read Your First Article.  What are your three best sources that you can summarize?
 * It looks like you attempted to declare a conflict of interest on the draft itself, this should be done on the draft talk page, as well as separately on your user page. Please see WP:COI for more information on how to make those disclosures. If you are employed by QuipuSwap or have any paid relationship with them, the Terms of Use require you to make the stricter paid editing disclosure.
 * Note that there are special rules when editing about cryptocurrencies, due to it being a contentious topic area with a history of disruption. You have been notified on these on your user talk page, please review them. 331dot (talk) 14:25, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I got it, thank you! When everything is correct, I'll edit it and send it for approval. Mykola Bieliavskyi (talk) 14:32, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

16:32:08, 26 October 2022 review of draft by DOHrennie
I am using the software inbox. I have included a logo image. I would like to include more space between the image and the text below. I am not sure how to do this. CSS seemed a possibility, but there is no style attribute.

Only looking for about the equivalent of a line of text between the logo and the next text in the box.

 * @DOHrennie: my advice would be to just stick to the default styling and layout features, rather than manually trying to insert a bit of space here, change the image size there, etc. Wikipedia has many skins, and in any case different devices and screen configurations etc., display the content differently, and you presumably want the article to render well for everyone. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:43, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

19:25:08, 26 October 2022 review of submission by Rockoutto
I don't see why the article can't exist as it the band is legitimate. Music can be heard all over the web and the member is a member of ASCAP. Additional citations have been added also. Is it because the band is brand new? Thank you for your help. Rockoutto (talk) 19:25, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It would need to pass the criteria at WP:NBAND to be accepted. Theroadislong (talk) 19:29, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * No one doubts the legitimacy of the band, that is not the issue. 331dot (talk) 08:10, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Lots of good, solid bands, writers, actors, and journalists can go through their entire career as professionals without ever achieved what Wikipedia defines as notability. That doesn't invalidate their work, it just means there won't be an article here about them. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  17:11, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
