edit- Thilinaticbt (talk · contribs)
Hi! My submission has been accepted and now I'm looking for improving my wiki page. My first Question is, How to upload the images to my page? My 2nd Question is, How to make my page appear on Google Results?
Please help me out on the above question clearly.
Thilinaticbt (talk) 04:44, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Done

Please do help edit our article we have submitted.

- Your draft is completely inappropriate for Wikipedia; it is very clearly a resume and/or advertisement for your services, absolutely unpublishable in its current state, and would have to be completely rewritten to even be considered. If you are writing about yourself, see WP:Autobiography for an explanation as to why it is a very bad idea to write about oneself. MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:15, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed. Tagged for speedy deletion. Bellerophon talk to me 17:52, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

edit- Invoice2go (talk · contribs)
Hi there,
I was wondering if it's possible to know the place in line of my article draft (Invoice2go) and if so, an estimation of when it might be reviewed. I'm worried that because I submitted it so long ago and haven't heard back that I did something wrong in the submission and it hasn't actually been put in the queue. Did I properly submit?
Thank you!
Invoice2go (talk) 19:47, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Invoice2go: Articles don't have a specific place in line. They are reviewed in a somewhat random order, but most are reviewed within 4-6 weeks. It looks like your draft was submitted a month ago, so it will probably be reviewed in the next few weeks.
- On an unrelated note, please see the message I left on your talk page regarding your username. --Ahecht (TALK

DONATE THIS CONTENT - we own the content. I Don't know how to donate it
Nikocharliesforeigncar (talk) 19:56, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hello Nikocharliesforeigncar, while donating the material (see WP:OTRS for how to do so) would clear up the copyright issue, it would not result in this draft getting published. The problem is this is a very detailed article for a very small (though recognized as important and flawed) Porsche component. While it may be worth a sentence or so in the main article for this specific Porsche model, it really doesn't merit an article of its own. Wikipedia is not a "How To" site, we don't cover consumer alerts, suggested fixes, things like that. Your article might be great material for any of the several big How To sites, but it is not an encyclopedia topic. Additionally, to be frank, it also comes across as an advertisement for companies that produce the solution to this flawed bearing. So your effort is appreciated, but this topic is too small, the writing too "how to", and the angle to advertising-related to be an encyclopedia article, but this content might be very useful as some other websites you may want to try.

Hi, I requested that a page be created for Van Wagner Airship Group LLC, owner and operator of the majority of advertising blimps in the world. There is a page currently for American Blimp Corporation that is a bit dated. Van Wagner Airship Group purchased American Blimp Corporation and therefore should be the namesake of that page. I have provided numerous credible references about the acquisition. Please let me know why this page was not approved. Thanks, Grace

- @Ggvanwagner: Hi. You have a basic misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is. This is an encyclopedia. Because Van Wagner isn't itself notable your draft was declined. That one of your business units is notable makes no difference. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:15, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
Two drafts about the same topic - what to do?
editDear reviewers: I was fixing up an old draft, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Alexandre Plokhov, but when I was ready to submit it I realized that there is already another submission, Draft:Alexandre Plokhov, in the queue. I think the older one is more neutral, but the new one has more extensive information. What should be the protocol here? I could just submit immediately accept the older draft, but it seems kind of mean. I could just wait for the new one to be declined, and then submit the old one. I'm not sure merging the two would be an improvement. Any opinions? —Anne Delong (talk) 21:39, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Having to choose between the two, I'd choose the more neutral version over the more detailed version. We have an NPOV policy, but we don't have a "gotta say it all" policy. Accept the former and decline the latter would be my advice. Bellerophon talk to me 23:27, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Well, I've done that, and suggested that the editor add to the new mainspace article. I fell a little guilty about it, though. Thanks. —Anne Delong (talk) 05:01, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
21:39:39, 15 December 2014 review of submission by Spanoplos
editTwo questions
1. I inadvertently submitted the same page for review twice -- will you disregard one of them or is there a way I can/should delete?
2. I created it in my sandbox but how do I get the title "Database load balancing" to appear as an article/page on Wikipedia. It prompted me to move it to a new area when I was finished creating it but none of it was intuitive.
Thanks and apologies I am such a Wiki Neophyte.
Spanoplos (talk) 21:39, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Spanoplos: Submitting your article for review twice doesn't actually create two copies, it just puts two "Review Waiting" boxes on the page. This is very common, and is fixed during the normal article review and cleanup process. Your submission has already been moved to Draft:Database load balancing (computing) and the extra "Review Waiting" box removed. --Ahecht (TALK

- Hello, Spanoplos. I moved the article into the Draft space, but then was called away from my computer before I could reply here. (Thanks, Ahecht, for doing it for me!). Don't apologize for being a neophyte - that's how we all started. I hope that you will enjoy your editing experience. This help desk is for asking questions about Articles for Creation, no matter how basic, and there is also another more general help forum called the Teahouse aimed at beginning editors.—Anne Delong (talk) 23:12, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
