[edit]

Hello, I would like to read your justification for not accepting the article I submitted, for none has been offered. Thanks. Mjethen (talk) 00:46, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's citation methodologies are a bit arcane, but the reason it was rejected is because you have no inline citations, i.e. your references don't specifically support statements in the article. See Help:Referencing for beginners. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 09:17, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A justification was indeed offered: note the specific concerns listed and guidelines linked to in the middle of the pink Decline box at top. MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:01, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Based on IP's typed signature, I presume this is re Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Barbara Abdeni Massaad, so have edited the heading of the question.

Please let me know why my page was refused. We worked very hard to build it.

Let me know what is wrong so we can fix it.

Thanks, Barbara Massaad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.62.170.49 (talk) 18:02, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We can't help you if you don't link to the article in question. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 19:14, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) Hello 92.62.170.49 (Barbara). Since you are logging int from an IP, and apparently used a different IP or account to create your draft, we cannot see what draft you are even referring to. Can you please either provide us a link to your draft, or (if you created the draft while logged-in to Wikipedia under an account) please log-in and sign your message with your account name so we know where to look for your draft? Thanks! MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:16, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Barbara, I assume you're referring to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Barbara Abdeni Massaad? Are you also Psytanium, who has been drafting that article? If so, please do ensure you log-in to Wikipedia when posting comments/questions, so that we can reliably communicate with you and also can see what pages you're referring to.

Help! This page was rejected (6 Jan 2014).

I was attempting to edit it, in order to re-submit, when everything but the section I was editing disappeared! Can it be recovered? Thanks (Peter Ells (talk) 20:29, 12 January 2014 (UTC))[reply]

This seems to have fixed itself, thanks. I'll be careful to make a backup. (Peter Ells (talk) 20:54, 12 January 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Thank you and regards Mary McGarry — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mary McGarry (talkcontribs) 20:49, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings Mary McGarry, your draft was not yet submitted for review, so I've placed a "review template" at the top which provides you a button to hit when you are ready to have a reviewer look at it. However, you need to add sourcing, and not just TCI's own website to the article. Please see my comments at top of your draft. MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:41, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also, please see WP:Conflict of interest, as you appear to be writing about your own organisation. MatthewVanitas (talk) 23:01, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there everyone, I'd like to see my article accepted. Therefore I need better sources, but it's hard for me to find them, is this the right section to find someone who would like to help me with getting this article to be accepted?

What I needd is: -sources -maybe cut some pieces of which there can not be found any resources so the article is going to be accepted — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.153.232.172 (talk) 21:41, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
