[edit]

So my article submission was declined because it did not fully explain the reasons for the notability of the person in question. I wrote what I believe is sufficient information in this regard, but only the introductory text of what I wrote is showing up on the talk page, even though the full text appears on the "Edit" tab. Why would only a small part of what I wrote be showing up and how can I fix this?

Thank you.

Hello this is getting very dispiriting - I simply don't understand what is wrong with this article. I have altered the content so that it reads more neutrally, tried to only include facts, and it is definitely NOT an advertisement for ENAEE. The entry ABET which is already in WP I have looked at many times and seems to be similar in information given. Please be more specific about what needs references-listing members is surely OK? (ABET entry is the same) The EFS are educational standards - do they need more outside references??? I really need help please this is the first time I have written for WP and I'd like to do more but to be honest I am feeling very down about this, I am not an academic as you can probably tell.

Hi ENAEE,
I have a few issues:
  1. I don't see it as advertising so much as I don't see that it is notable.
  2. I see you are also working on EUR-ACE Label, same problem there, is it notable?
  3. Before your signature I see "Brussels admin".  You may want to read WP:COI.
Before I approved this article, I would want to see a significant number of schools that have adopted the standards.  Organizations make standards all day long, and 99% of the standards are ignored, therefore, not notable.  I hope you understand my position on this?  Some others may have a different opinion.  :- ) DCS 14:50, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK I think I better understand this now you need PROOF of its adoption and not just statements that are neutral. I do think the EUR-ACE labels definitely are-(also working on EUR-ACE label) I think it's notable as over 981 labels have been awarded across engineering degree programmes in Europe since 2007, is this a good example? I will change my username again (hope it doesn't make me seem sinister) sorry for being dumb about this, didn't realise it!!! Thanks so much for the help I really appreciate it.

Great, if it is being widely implemented, then it would be notable.  I don't see a problem with your user name, just the Brussel's thing brought COI to mind.   :- ) DCS 18:05, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for Creation/PAGEANT-THE MOVIE Hi-I am reasonably new to creating articles but this is getting so difficult. This is a terrific film and absolutely deserving of a WIKI page. I got something from a BOT that said I had no inline references but..I do?

I don't understand what you guys want but hopefully I've amended it. Everything is verifiable and a very good subject-certainly no different than many other films that are on Wikipedia with fewer awards.

Thank you

No problem.  Very few articles go through the first time, even from experienced editors.  The inline citations are the little numbers in the article that point to the verifying information in the footnotes.  There is a Style Manual for films here:  MOS:FILM.  And, to do the inline citations, there is built in CITE tool in the editor and information here:  WP:CITE  You may want to take a look at some other film articles to see how it is done, like mine (he-he), it is nowhere near perfect, but not too bad: Somewhere I Have Never Traveled   :- ) DCS 18:16, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect, based on your question, that you found one of our over 6 million articles and thought we were affiliated in some way with that subject. Please note that you are at Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and this page is for asking questions related to using or contributing to Wikipedia itself. Thus, we have no special knowledge about the subject of your question. You can, however, search our vast catalogue of articles by typing a subject into the search field on the upper right side of your screen. If you cannot find what you are looking for, we have a reference desk, divided into various subject areas, where asking knowledge questions is welcome. Best of luck.
