Wikipedia talk: Articles for Creation/Business Edu 2.0

Hi,

Very recently I had created a new page on Wiki named as Business Edu 2.0.

I need to go back to the page which showed me info that it is under review that it will take while since there are other articles in the backlog to be reviewed as well.

Today I tried loggin back onto the same review page but I cannot find it. Could you please help me how I should be able to find the page so I could find the status of my submission? or is there any other way to find out about the status of article submission?

I look forward to your kind response.

Thank you very much...

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Business Edu 2.0 has been reviewed and declined, the decline reason can be seen in the grey box in the review template, there are also links to guidance on how to fix it. In future please make sure you are logged in then your contributions will be easy to find. (Note that there is no space between "...creation/" and "Business..." in the current title of your draft.)

Review of User:Articles for creation/Forty Studies That Changed Psychology

I was following instructions on one of the "how to" pages and moved this article I want reviewed from where an Editor had moved it. Is it in the right place or does it need to be placed someplace else?Mckteacher (talk) 12:48, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I have moved it to the correct location at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Forty Studies That Changed Psychology, it is correctly submitted for review. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:27, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Pay For Engagement (Healthcare)

hello, I just want to make sure that I've correctly submitted my article for review and publication: Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Pay_For_Engagement_(Healthcare)

It's been well over a week since I submitted it, and the article still has the "not submitted" box at the top, as well as the "waiting for review" box at the bottom. I know that the review process is backlogged, and as a first-time contributor, I just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing anything.

Cheers, Kyle Kyle Homstead (talk) 13:30, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

The "not submitted" box is incorrect and can be ignored. You have submitted the article correctly. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 13:35, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Cleaned and  Fixed. Pol430 talk to me 17:43, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Failing to resubmit article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Club Guy and Roni

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have been working on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Club Guy and Roni. After my first submission, the article was declined as it did not have enough references. Now I have edited the article, but I cannot find it anywhere on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pending_AfC_submissions. It has not been approved either. What am I doing wrong? How do I resubmit my page, or has it just been declined completely?

I look forward to your response!

In this edit you removed the tag from the top of the article. Another editor has put it back so that you can resubmit your revised draft. - David Biddulph (talk) 14:11, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

(ec)You removed the Review template, which includes the link to resubmit. Please do not remove these templates, besides containing useful links to various guidelines they also serve as a record of the review process. Later reviewers can see what earlier reviewers decided and whether you have understood and acted on the advice given. We can help you effectively only if we know the history of the draft. I have fixed a problem with the references for you.Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:16, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Gus Copulos

The template pull down menu does not pop up when I click my selection. How do I check if I have Java and how do I enable it? Is that the problem?A.W.Ellison (talk) 14:47, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I presume you are referring to the "Cite" menu in the editing window. Unfortunately some of the automated editing tools are experiencing problems, just try again later. I'm also waiting for it to come back online. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:31, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/David Chislett

Hi there

I'm trying to submit an article for review but keep hashing it up...

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but the article has now repeated itself three times. I would really like to just start from scratch - I have the completed article in my sandbox...

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hueyvoodoo (talk) 15:25, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I've fixed it, it is correctly submitted. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:36, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Jono McCleery article

Hi there,

I have recently submitted an article on Wikipedia for one of our artists, Jono McCleery, on the user account Cleeming.

My original submission was declined and I was asked to add reliable and independent sources for the referencing.

I did this, however my submission has not been approved, and I have received the comment stating 'there is a duplicate submission for Jono McCleery (2).

Are you able to give me any advice as to how we can proceed with clearing our submission?

Thanks.

Cleeming (talk) 16:04, 11 June 2013 (UTC)CLeeming

There was a duplicate submission, but it was identical to the original, which can be found at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jono McCleery. I have redirected the duplicate submission so now there is only one. You can resubmit it for review by clicking the link on the pink decline template. Pol430 talk to me 17:54, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Editing article to remove sources

Hello everyone! My article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lumension Security, was recently rejected because it is not adequately supported by reliable sources.

The comment left was, " While this looks to be notable enough for inclusion, 23 out of 38 references are to Lumension's own website, so please see WP:RS before resubmission. The article must be referenced with robust external sources, not internal news or internally generated press releases. This might result in a somewhat leaner article, but it will come much closer to neutrality guidelines, see WP:NPOV".

So my question is, when I am referencing and citing sources, do I need to have a source for everything I state? For example, I have a timeline section in my article that gives highlights of the company's history, and I was using press releases since I thought that was essentially backing up my statement. But what if I can't find any external source referencing someone being promoted to CEO or some other type of news? I don't mind scaling down the article so it's a bit leaner, I'm just a little unclear of where to start or what I can take out. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Kendraelise0 (talk) 16:51, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Basic facts can be supported by primary sources (like the company's own website) but independent sources are required for anything more controversial, like claims about the company's achievements or impotence, or discussion about how others perceive the company. Ultimately, the submission needs multiple independent reliable sources that discuss the company in detail in order to demonstrate why the company is notable. You don't need a citation for absolutely every piece of information. See WP:VRS. Pol430 talk to me 18:00, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Ozone Therapy in Alternative Medicine

Dear Staff, The Nobel prize winner in medicine Otto Warburg's work entitled "The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer" should be summarized and included in the Alternative Medicine section of your site. He discovered that, to summarize, Cancer in humans is always caused by a LACK of oxygen. When human cells being cultured in a petri dish had oxygen gradually removed, in every case their metabolism changed to that of a plant cell in which plant- like growth was displayed. In addition another research paper entitled "Ozone Selectively Inhibits the Growth of Human Cancer Cells" that appeared in Science Magazine written by Frederick Sweet (see about 1980 -1981), the reverse was demonstrated;....i.e. when human cancer cells along with normal human cells were cultured in a petri dish and a pure gas mixture of O2/O3 gas was introduced at concentrations considered to be safe for normal human cells, Cancer cells were selectively "inhibited", or destroyed. Modern medical ozone therapy is well known in most other parts of the world as may be verified by numerous postings on the internet. Most drug companies have an ongoing economic conflict of interest with the use of medical ozone therapy due to its cost effectiveness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MHGrace (talk • contribs) 18:32, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

This page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. If you would like to start writing a new article, please use the Article wizard. If you have an idea for a new article, but would like to request that someone else write it, please see: Wikipedia:Requested articles. I hope this helps. Pol430 talk to me 20:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

This is the wrong page for such a request. You should instead propose such an addition at the relevant article's talk page, here probably Talk:Ozone therapy. But see also WP:MEDRS on the kinds of sources you'd need. Also, we do have a dedicated article on the Warburg hypothesis already, and I don't think subsequent research has confirmed the hypothesis, certainly not in the generality you state.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Katharine Coles

Hi,

I've created a Wikipedia page for the poet Katharine Coles using various sources including the Poetry Foundation website, among others that are all cited.

Unfortunately, even though I have reworded and reordered the material and also added substantial additional material, Madman Bot suggests that I have copied directly from the Poetry Foundation website.

I think the problem is that there are basic facts that simply cannot be reworded, such as the names of awards and fellowships, titles of books and programs, etc.

If a problem remains, can you please suggest how I might fix it?

Many thanks.

There are still a sufficient number of matching phrases for it to be problematic. Click on the 'duplication detector report' link in the templates added by madman Bot. This will show you the matching phrases. You can then rewrite them. Pol430 talk to me 20:25, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Fairmined Standard

Hi, I just wrote two pages on the Alliance for Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Responsible Mining (ARM) and Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Fairmined Standard. There is a pink box that is capturing the first few sentences randomly on my page and messing up the whole formatting. I can't seem to get rid of it. Can you tell me how I can change it?

Terynmariewolfe (talk) 20:01, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

The only new pages you have created are Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Fairmined Standard, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Fairmined Standard, User:Terynmariewolfe, and User:Terynmariewolfe/sandbox.

For technical reasons I am moving User:Terynmariewolfe to User:Terynmariewolfe/sandbox2.

User:Terynmariewolfe/sandbox is titled The Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM).

User:Terynmariewolfe/sandbox2, formerly User:Terynmariewolfe, is also titled The Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM).

I noticed that in some of your pages you have one-line grey boxes with text that runs off the right side of the window. This happens if you start the line with a space. Indentation is normally not used in articles, but if you need to use it, the most common way is to put one or more colons at the beginning of the line. Each colon indents that line one more "level." Colon-style indents are rarely used in article pages but are very common in discussion pages like this one.

I still don't know what you mean by "pink box that is capturing the first few sentences randomly on my page and messing up the whole formatting."

davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 20:36, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I've just shoved them all in AFC namespace and redirected the sandboxes. I've also cleaned up the formatting. Both submissions lack reliable referencing and a demonstration of notability. Also quite promotional in tone. Pol430 talk to me 20:43, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I also restored the AFC submission template to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Fairmined Standard. It was submitted as a "draft." Whichever version Terynmariewolfe works on, the other should be summarily "submitted" and "declined as a duplicate submission." davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 20:59, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I missed that one. Pol430 talk to me 21:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Geographer Drank His Globe Away (film)

On the Russian language page for this film the film poster is included in the Infobox. I have translated the Russian page into English and created an English language page. How do I put the film poster into the Infobox? If I copy the address all I get is the name of the poster (text). The address of the poster is: Файл:"Географ глобус пропил" постер.jpg Further, how do I connect the English language page I have created to the Russian language page about the same film? The address is: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Географ_глобус_пропил_(фильм) That is the two pages need to be connected so that you can switch from one language to the other. I don't know how to do that. Geoffreysharp (talk) 22:08, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

The file is copyrighted and will have to be uploaded to the English Wikipedia so we can use it under fair use, but the non-free content criteria require such images to be used in articles, not in drafts - so you'll have to wait with uploading it until the draft has been accepted. Connecting the pages should be done via Wikidata, but again that's something that will have to wait until the English article is accepted. In the left sidebar you'll then find an "Add links" link ("Добавить ссылки" in Russian) where you can add a link to another version of the article in a different language - but again, article, not draft.

Removal from requested article list after article created

Once an article is approved and created, should I remove its listing from the requested articles list (I created both the request and the article, if it matters)? On one hand I'm thinking it's a stupid question, could only help, not hurt. But on the other... well, I can imagine some unlikely ways that requested articles might be monitored or measured that I might interfere in.

It's only been about 4 days since creation, I don't want be impatient if there is a routine process. Seems like an admin would give it a routine clean, or a bot even easier. Should I wait or just do it myself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zwik100 (talk • contribs) 23:26, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I don't think the requested articles are monitored; I have removed the resolved request. Huon (talk) 00:44, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
