Would you like to ask us something about Draft:DANZ BASE? Arthur goes shopping (talk) 06:59, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]



I don't know why it was blank but anyway I was wondering if it's possible to get an arcade game onto Wikipedia anymore. The only arcade games that I see that are on Wikipedia were either put on Wikipedia a long time ago when standards were less stringent or if they have console versions. Console versions means reviews on various gaming sites and metacritic. Otherwise according to the gaming notability page, it's almost impossible for an arcade game to be notable enough to be put on Wikipedia simply because media for Arcade games is scarce or non-existant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bloosteak (talk • contribs) 08:01, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that would be consistent with Wikipedia's general notability guideline, summarised at Wikipedia:VRS. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 09:43, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote a page on Ducere over a month ago on July 3. I was wondering how long will it take to be active on Wikipedia.

Thank you,

Submission   Declined. Please see the draft page for the reasons why. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 06:58, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to know why my article on Ducere was declined. I received a message and I wanted to know what can I do to make it better.

Thank you,

If you read the message you received or you read the message above you will see that it points you back to the draft. When you ask questions it is, generally, best to read the answers carefully. Go there, read what has been said, and return here if you do not understand it. Fiddle Faddle 07:35, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I submitted this for review over a week ago. In that time, someone else has created a page of the same person yesterday which has already been approved. I am wondering why this was not approved while the other one was? Many thanks! Mpokeeffe (talk) 12:48, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mpokeeffee. Most likely the other page was approved first simply because a reviewer happened to see that one first. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 07:11, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

13:33:56, 12 August 2014 request for review by TheRock2014

I am confused as to why my article on County Executive Ed Day was rejected despite the fact that I work as his communications director. Therefore, all the information on him is accurate. Being that he is an important government official, I do not see why he is not allowed to have his own page. How can we fix this issue?

Thanks, TheRock2014 (talk) 13:33, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

TheRock2014 (talk) 13:33, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@TheRock2014: The reviewer left comments on the draft. "Ed Day himself" isn't an independent reliable source. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a website to hang press releases. Since you admit having a conflict of interest, you should not be editing this draft. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:55, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Chris troutman: that is not correct, actually editors with a conflict of interest are positively encouraged to use the Draft space and Articles for Creation, so that material they submit can be checked over by an experienced and non-conflicted editor before entering article space. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:35, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it that other county executives (such as Rob Astorino and Ed Mangano) have their Wikipedia pages approved, but not Ed Day?

18:21:56, 12 August 2014 request for review by TheRock2014 Draft:Rockland County Executive Ed Day Why is it that other county executives (such as Rob Astorino and Ed Mangano) have their Wikipedia pages approved, but not Ed Day?

TheRock2014 (talk) 18:20, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello TheRock2014. It appears that the article Rob Astorino was created in 2008, when new editors could create articles directly in the main article space without going through any review process. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 07:08, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just submitted an article for review but did not realize that it would take so much time to get approved. I would really like to add a photo but did not know how, so I decided I would wait until it was approved and then I would upload the file. Is it to late to add a photo. This is for a school project and would like it to be as complete as possible. Thank you for your time, Heidi Ewuextra (talk) 22:24, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ewuextra: School project? Tell me more. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:38, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Ewuextra: It is never too late to add a photo. Who took the photo? Arthur goes shopping (talk) 07:05, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
