[edit]

Can someone help me check if this draft on: Michael Lord M Smith does meet all the writing criteria of wikipedia. That are the chases of this article getting swift approval. If you think there's any amendment that needs to be down, kindly feel free to edit it and implement it. If it's alright kindly let me know as well. No need of ignoring it, just give your kind response. Thanks. (Microbilo (talk) 02:03, 15 May 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Hi,

Could you please provide information on why the article was not accepted for publishing?

Thanks & Regards, Ankush — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.8.2.69 (talk) 09:09, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Which article? Please provide a link to the page. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:32, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

what was missing in my article — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nkqusquared47 (talkcontribs) 13:11, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Nkqusquared47. The primary thing it's missing is an indication of what your proposed article is actually about. You mention a school, burning buildings, upset students, etc. but you don't even say what country they are in. And what is "Sinenjongo times"? Is it a real newspaper? Why did you give your draft that title? Note that Wikipedia already has an article on Sinenjongo High School, if that's the one you are referring to.

Review of Ailene Fields

[edit]

Hello, I am relatively new to Wikipedia article development and need some help on my friend Ailene Fields's article, which was created by someone else. I have added some cites and links. Is there anything you can recommend to eliminate the warning box the precedes the article? Thank you, Del DeLeon (~~Del DeLeon~~) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deleondnyc (talkcontribs) 14:02, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, [[Deleondnyc]]. This is not a draft, it's an existing article. This help desk is only for editors enquiring about their submissions to the Articles for Creation process. For general help questions like yours, I suggest you go the Wikipedia Teahouse, "a friendly place to help new editors become accustomed to Wikipedia culture, ask questions, and develop community relationships".

Thank you for your recent help. My endeavors are currently in my Sandbox: Wikipedia talk: Articles for Creation/Spectrum of a Chirp Pulse. I wish to add them to the existing article "Chirp". (Following your advice, I believe that I've sorted out my multiple references and removed all my "op. cits."). Do I highlight the text in my Sandbox (or on a copy I have in Wordpad) and press 'copy' to get it onto my clipboard, then in the article select the 'edit' button on an existing paragraph and do a paste? If so, which paragraph should I select? The last four edits are labeled 'Key chirp', 'See also', 'References' and 'External links'. This is a new experience for me and I don't want to break anything!

Note. The article in question is Chirp. Voceditenore (talk) 15:27, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Reviewers,

I need help with, I believe, disambiguation. I am submitting the Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Bernardo Ruiz. There is already an entry for Bernardo Ruiz, but it is a different person. Can I append the heading with something like "Bernardo Ruiz, Filmmaker" ? Thanks for your patience and guidance! Cyber Shepherd (talk) 17:27, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Usually it is fine to just create and submit the page, and the reviewer will work out themselves what disambiguation would be best. The only exception is if both Bernardo Ruiz people are filmmakers from a similar era, in which case the reviewer might mistakenly think you are trying to create an article that already exists. But if no such confusion is likely, the reviewer will deal with it appropriately when the article is created. Your draft will make clear what the person you are writing about is best known for.
