Hello, thank you for your review - I am requesting a re-review since the references section was corrected by an experienced Author (I have no experience and did it wrong.) I also want to add more references and images but there is no edit button anymore so I will wait for your approval I guess. Thanks again Luke

Thanks for the review. I'll try to re-write the article more to Wikipedia standards. Most of it is paraphrased from articles about the company.

huh?

You seem to have introduced a typo at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Backlog elimination drives, which I reverted. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:03, 10 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Because that the word seemed to be wrong. 333-blue 00:31, 11 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

In your review of this draft, you gave the reason "Try to lowercase the section headings in the article." This is not an suitable reason for not accepting an article. The purpose of AfC is to improve articles to the extent that they would be likely to pass WP:AFFD, not to reject them until the style is perfect. It is extremely important that WP retain new editors, and it is therefore essential not to rejectthem dor spurious reasons. Fortunately the editor in this case persisted, and I accepted the article.

Gateway Gender Alliance

You accepted this, tho in my opinion it is very highly promotional, and had not a single reference except to its own archives. There is no chance that this would be accepted at AfD, and in fact it is so impossibly promotional that I have listed it for speedydeletion. It's probably also a copyvio--I need to check that)

You rejected this as not showing notability . That's true, but the more important reason is that it is a pure advertisement. I've ;listed it for speedy deletion as such.

Draft:The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet ‎

edit

You rejected this as a film not showing notability As the article plainly says, it's a novel.

User:Arijtisur/sandbox/Ridge Valley School Gurgaon

You declined this for lnot having a formal tone. I don't see just what you had in mind there, but there's a real reason: It's a primary school, and it's our practice not to make articles of primary schools. It should have been declined for lack of notability , with an explanation of why it was not notable.

In general, when you;re declining for lack of evidence to show notability, it is ver yadvisable to explain a little further. The editor needs to be advised more specifically what the problem is. I know it's important to clear the backlog of AfCs submissions, but it's important to do it carefully and in a helpful manner. Even if the article is never going to be accepted, we want the editor to understand, and think well of Wikipedia.

If you need any advice, please check with me--I've been doing this since the AfC process was invented, and dealing with new submissions as an administrator for 8 years now. DGG ( talk ) 05:07, 19 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi I think I now have a pretty good page but Im unsure of how to place links to other pages. Can you please take a look at the page again? Thanks.

Using [[]] to connect pages, and [] to connect other external links. 333-blue 23:22, 20 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Regarding the draft article titled "Columbia (magazine)," there is a journal by the name of "Columbia Magazine" published by Columbia University's alumni association, which has a Wiki page titled "Columbia (magazine)." That page is redirected to the Columbia University page, where the magazine is not mentioned at all. I suggest changing the title of my article to "Columbia (history magazine)," if that is permissible, to differentiate the two. Egnaro13127 (talk) 18:29, 21 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
