15:28:26, 17 November 2015 review of submission by Juliaerickson
[edit]I am somewhat flummoxed about how to do all the references properly. The bot told me there was a problem but didn't highlight where the problem was, so I don't know what to fix. Someone else told me to look at the citation page, but I didn't know what I needed to take from that page.

- Hi Juliaerickson - I formatted the first two references to give you examples of proper formatting. You can use them as templates, as well as using the other types of citations listed on the WP:CIT. For example, for books, and print magazines and newspapers, always use page numbers, authors, etc. When a bot leaves an error message like that, note where the error message occurs in the article, then go to edit mode and look in that location. In this instance you had left off a </ref> tag (there was a </a> there instead). Hope this helps. Also, feel free to ask questions on my talk page. Onel5969 TT me 16:21, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

[edit]
I would like to know how an annual technology conference by one of the largest companies in the world is not notable. It was attended by over 20,000 people (cited in article) and the previous conference that this is replacing (TechEd) had it's own wikipedia page. If you do a search on "Microsoft Ignite" in google news you will see hundreds of articles.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pete716 (talk • contribs)
- @Pete716: at Wikipedia, "notable" means that the specific subject of the potential article has been covered in-depth by independent sources in reliable publications. The draft article fails to demonstrate that the subject meets that requirement. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:50, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
- And even if there is coverage, the community consensus may be that the subject is best covered in the main article about the sponsor rather than spinning out another article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:00, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

[edit]
Hello, I am requesting assistance to help get my article on Rexnord approved. I am told I need more sources, although I cite 17 independent sources in the bottom references. Please let me know what I can do to get this article up to Wikipedia's standards. I would like this to become a quality and unbiased article. Thank you.

- @Emily.white89: while you have a lot of footnotes, you don't seem to have included any that demonstrate significant coverage by reliably published sources not related to the subject. Press releases do not count. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:45, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to check the status of the requested listing. Cumberland Academy of Georgia does not currently appear and I prepared and submitted a request for listing. I haven't been able to find it in pending or declined or any of the categories so perhaps I did something incorrectly. Thanks for any help you can provide.

- On a quick glance it does not appear to meet the basic requirements for a stand alone article. It is unlikely to be accepted for main space. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:43, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
- On a more close view, it has been declined for not meeting other criteria as well. As the banner at the top of the page states, it is inappropriately advertorial in nature. Also, there was a message left on your user talk page User talk:96.91.141.29 explaining the same. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:55, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
