April 30

[edit]

Hi Team,

I would like to know the reason why my article declined from your end, thus I will try to edit it in a better way. This article is regarding my father Shahir Krishnakant Jadhav and he is the famous personality in Maharashtra for his Shahiri singing.

Please do the needful and do let me know what should I suppose to do to publish my article.

Thanks in advance. Regards, Yajuvendra. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.137.226.13 (talk) 03:09, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I submitted an article about Sir Trevor Corry yesterday and have been informed it was declined. I would be interested to know why. West Marshall — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.207.179 (talk) 10:46, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I assume you are West Marshall but not logged in? The comments at the top of your submission state that reliable sources were not cited. Granted, the actual sources may be reliable, but not enough information is given to identify them (the newspaper articles lack titles, for example). Also, as the other reviewer stated, it seems that this was copied and pasted from another source, which is not allowed. If that is not the case, please continue improving the references and formatting. (You can learn how by taking a quick editing tutorial.)

Have I properly submitted my article for creation?

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Serial Concatenated Convolutional Codes

If not, what should I do to submit it?

If it has been submitted, is there any way to know where it stand in the queue, or how I can assist the review process?

Thank you.

seriously m fed-up with policy.. yes its biography but it should be on Wikipedia, those who deleted my article, he has not sense what he did — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurt.penberg01 (talkcontribs) 16:52, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Draft:Brian H. Cameron -- reason for rejection is that it is a plot summary, when the article is a BLP. Confused.

[edit]

I find myself confused by the reason given for rejecting the article that I wrote about a Dr. Brian Cameron, the Executive Director of the Center for Enterprise Architecture at Pennsylvania State University. The reason given is that the article is a plot summary. That doesn't make sense. Dr. Cameron is real person. Did the reviewer intend to reject for a different reason and provided a typo? Was a mistake made and the article was rejected out of confusion with another article? Help!?! Nickmalik (talk) 17:04, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:The Herald, could you comment please? (And anyone else feel free...) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:18, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have rejected because the article in fully under linked in the opening paragraph and have few cites there. I can't approve it till more wiki linking is done in the first opening paragraph as well as in Ongoing contributions. Thank you.. The herald 17:02, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Those are problems that I can solve. I will make the changes right away. If I resubmit the article, will I be stuck waiting another six to eight weeks or can I ask you to review it more rapidly? Nickmalik (talk) 17:29, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a way to expedite the review process? I have already been waiting for over a month and I have made the recommended changes and just want to ensure I am on the right track before I write any other submissions.

Thank you!

  •  Done I have completed a plethora of modifications, including reflinks, adding an infobox, removing and moving around various bits of text (some text was redundant). Give it a look over and post any comments here. ®amos likes messages! 18:35, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Idea: if you can get an actual birthdate, what would be nice for the infobox (remember to find a source!). Also, what will help this article big time is if you can find an existing work of his on Wikipedia (or the Commons), or upload one (remember to follow copyright rules & laws). ®amos likes messages! 18:39, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
