November 13

[edit]

Finally have time to ask about the article I created back at the beginning of October. What do I need to edit on the article for it to be accepted? I read that it was declined because of copyrighted information. What information is copyrighted that is not my own work? Please elaborate, so I can fix the article.Kathy Grant (talk) 06:33, 13 November 2013 (UTC) Thanks for your help. Kathy Grant (talk) 06:18, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I assume an earlier version of the document was deleted per our policy on speedy deleting copyright infringements. Put simply, the copyright in Wikipedia is a little unorthodox - anything you write can be reused by anybody, and even bound up and sold as a commercial book. The net result is that unless another site explicitly acknowledges the copyright is the same as our own, we cannot accept it.
The reason your article has not been reviewed is because it hasn't been submitted! When you are ready for a review, add the text {{subst:submit}} (including curly braces) to the very top of your submission. When you save that edit, a yellow submission box will appear.

Ritchie333 and Kathy Grant, I've done a basic clean up on the draft and moved it into article space. Notability is clearly established. It's a very worthwhile topic with sufficient sources for start class. It needs more work on the writing style and the referencing and formatting of citations need a lot of work, but I feel it has a better chance of achieving this if other editors collaborate on this in article space. I've notified WikiProject Military history WikiProject Nursing, and WikiProject Women's History asking for any interested members to lend a hand. I can find no evidence of this article ever being marked for copyright infringement and no logs for previous deletion. It was declined the first time as having insufficient references to establish notability. I am somewhat concerned about the colour illustrations, however. If they are from the recently published book by Kathryn Grant or have appeared on her website, there may well be copyright problems in having them here because they have been previously published in a copyright work. If that is the case, the permission documentation on Commons is insufficient, and they might be proposed for deletion. Voceditenore (talk) 14:20, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

There is a spelling mistake in the title of this page, it should be 'Cedars Park, Broxbourne' rather than 'Broxborne'. I can't quite figure out how to make that change. Can you help, please? Broxbourne (talk) 10:18, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Done The article has been moved. For future reference, you need to be a autoconfirmed user ie: have an account older than 4 days and with more than 10 edits to move pages. You meet both of these criteria, so you can rename pages using the "Move" button at the top of the article. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:32, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

is there a way to put an article up without going through this submission process and how will i know someone is answering this query? where do I look for an answer? is it possible someone could email me at (Redacted)? thanks 75.99.90.238 (talk) 15:45, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

75.99.90.238, any registered user can create an article directly. Are you the draft's creator, User:Mikesiris? If you are, you need to log into your account to create Alan M. Meckler. However, please also see my reply above regarding needed improvements to the article. Voceditenore (talk) 16:06, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I need help resolving some minor issues. I have two reference sections and both have reference #23 with the following code: Cite error: The named reference ref1006723952 was invoked but never defined (see the help page).

My question is how do I fix? Also I have a few reference without numbers, please help guide me.

Lastly, I have a bit of extra unwanted coding under a chart how do I delete? Thanks so much for your help

In the table of chart positions there is a reference for US chart entries, this is something like <ref name=ref1006723952 />. At least one of those references needs to be like this:<ref name=ref1006723952>http://www.example.com</ref>.
I'll check the unwanted code. Rankersbo (talk) 20:33, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of User:Hfthurn/Kii Arens IMPORTANT!!!

[edit]

To Whom it may concern,

We have a music video in which Kii Arens directed for Queens of the Stone Age launching tomorrow and were hoping to have this content available. We understand the review process takes time, but hope to you can see that Kii Arens is very much a person a note. Let me know if there is anything you can do.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hfthurn (talkcontribs) 19:50, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article Accepted, but not because something is launching tomorrow. Wikipedia is not a venue to promote your cause, or anything for that matter. Bellerophon talk to me 21:34, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
