April 21

edit

Hi,

I have submitted the page for creation. The link for the page is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Smart_Cube

The submission has been declined twice and i have made the necessary edits and re-submitted. For some reason, the latest submission has been going down the review queue, as when i submitted the article, i was shown that the review may take more than 3 weeks as there are 1550 submissions waiting for review. However, now it is showing that the review may take several weeks, to over a month as there are 2108 submissions waiting for review.

Can you please clarify whether my article is going down the review chain, and if it is, then what is the reason behind it? Or is there some error at Wikipedia's end and my article will be reviewed within the initial period specified?

Thank you. Prabal Prabal547 (talk) 11:45, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  Checking... @Prabal547: Rest assured, your submission is not descending in the queue because there is no queue. Submissions are reviewed in essentially a random order. We are always receiving more new submissions than we have editors to review them, but I'm taking a look at your submission and should make a decision shortly.

@Dancer88onpointe: As the templates and comments left by the reviewer indicate, the sources you provided don't evince notability per WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. You'll need to provide multiple reliable sources to show us the subject is notable. Chris Troutman (talk) 09:06, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me with retouching this article that was rejected some time ago. I've added another source that I hope gives the article sufficient credibility, though I'm not sure if it will be accepted if I resubmit it.

Here's the link in case the link in the title doesn't work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Refund.me

All help is appreciated.

Thanks!
