My article was declined. Please let me know the reason. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hunterrobb (talkcontribs) 09:26, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for declining is given in the pink box at the top of the page. There may also be further comments below the pink template. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:46, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been waiting for three weeks for a review and am worried may have been forgotten. Can you help? Yellow box saying review waiting is at the bottom of the article. Thanks and sorry if you guys are just super busy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ha0250 (talkcontribs) 11:43, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is still waiting for review. I think the template says "more than three weeks"... it won't automatically get done after exactly three weeks. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 14:01, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

hello, where do i provide the permission that I have gotten from the writer of the article?

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vijishvanya (talkcontribs) 15:10, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You can do that at donating copyright materials.
  However, please note: Doing so means the writer is giving permission for anyone to use it with few restrictions, and not just on Wikipedia. If the writer is not willing to do this, you're better off summarizing the article's content in your own words.
In either case, though, Wikipedia articles need references to multiple independent, reliable sources of information. This shows both notability (other people have discussed the subject) and verifiability (information can be checked). (See the introduction to referencing or referencing for beginners to learn how to cite sources.) --Anon126 (talk - contribs) 20:17, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to my page. I submitted it for review 16 days ago and haven't heard anything. Did I submit it correctly? Any help is appreciated :)

Yes, the article is submitted correctly. I just want to let you know that you should not remove the {{AFC submission|...}} and {{AFC comment|...}} code. These are important for others to see the progress of the article and give you a way to resubmit conveniently.
You can improve the article by looking at the guideline on external links and link spam (a rather strong term, I'll admit).
  Finally, it seems that your username is the name of an organization. User accounts should not be shared, and usernames implying shared use are not allowed. If there are multiple people editing, please take the time to create separate accounts. If you are the only individual editing, please consider changing your username. --Anon126 (talk - contribs) 20:02, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
