editReview of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Directorate of Cooperation of Security and Defence (DCSD)
editHi everyone, I'm new in the wiki community and i just finish to write an article about French DCSD (translated from french wiki page). You can access to it here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Directorate_of_Cooperation_of_Security_and_Defence_%28DCSD%29
However, as it isn't the same way of creating as french page, i'm a bit lost and I don't know how to get this page reviewed and on line.
Your advices are welcome, thanks in advance,

- @MelDCSD: You have two different submissions, one in Wikipedia space and one at Wikipedia talk. The one at Wikipedia talk has some coding issues. Which one are we going with? Can we delete the other to avoid confusion? Chris Troutman (talk) 15:28, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for your proposition, I didn't realize there was two distinct pages. I've deleted the one in wikipedia Talk, I think the other is better and could be the final work. What do you tkink about the next move I have to do ?--MelDCSD (talk) 16:01, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedia -
I submitted an article on the writer, Thaddeus Rutkowski about a month ago (April 8, it was my 3rd draft). Is there a way to find out the status of my request? Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Randi HoffmanRandihoffman (talk) 13:01, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, Randi. When you go to the submission page, there should be a notice that says "Review waiting"; that means it is still submitted and not declined.
- You can continue to improve it at this time. I've improved the formatting of it a bit, but I'd recommend that you go through the editing tutorial to learn a bit more. (I did my best with the "Works" section; I'm not sure if you want to reorganize it.) Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 01:45, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Review of Draft:Jeff Schneider
editWikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jeff Schneider I just received a rejection for 'articles for creation'. see Comment: Great swathes of unverifiable and potentially changeable content. Hasteur (talk) 02:45, 6 May 2014 (UTC) and I am confused about what to do next? potentially changeable ? The artist's references seem to be in order and many of his sources are difficult to find, yes a tribute to the era before there was an "online". Also, "dead links" or pay for access to some of the artists recent reviews would help "verify" his credentials. I will click on "Referencing for beginners and Citing sources" but any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You. (Jeff Schneider (talk) 13:23, 6 May 2014 (UTC))
Dear help desk representative, In this new article I have translated to English the following Hebrew Wikipedia page: https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%99%D7%A6%D7%97%D7%A7_%D7%99%D7%A2%D7%A7%D7%91_%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%9F The article concerns the biography of a notable Israeli journalist and author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dovi.yellin (talk • contribs) 16:49, 6 May 2014 (UTC) I would like to reference the same images that were already uploaded to the Hebrew version of the page. Would this be possible? Many thanks, Dovi Yellin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dovi.yellin (talk • contribs) 16:45, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- @Dovi.yellin: The images you want to use have been uploaded to Hebrew Wikipedia, not the Commons, so they can't be displayed here by linking to them. You could upload them here or the commons in order to use them. As for your submission, you have a general lack of sources and I'm not sure the subject is notable. Also, if you are related to the subject you are warned to be careful in order not to compromise neutrality. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:54, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
I'm wondering why my article was rejected. I wrote about a group of people called, The Mru, who live in the border with India, Bangladesh and Burma. I know that there's already an article on that group, with the name, Mro People, on wikipedia but the information in that article is minimal and the word, "Mru" is more commonly used these days. Moreover, since this is a a group of people that is very isolated, there aren't much sources on that. I used three credible sources to write my article and I don't find any reasons for it to be declined.

- What do you think about the idea of adding your content to the existing article, and then getting the existing article renamed to The Mru, if that's better? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:36, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
I created a new article three weeks ago. Still no update on whether or not it has been approved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Jarekus_Singleton
His new release just came out today and we'd like for there to be a page for people to actually investigate him. Please let me know if there's anything that can be done to expedite this.
Thanks

- This is an encyclopedia not a music magazine, so we unpaid volunteers don't schedule our work around what commercial products are being released this week or month.
- Based on a little reading, I have accepted this submission with some serious problems noted on the page, so it's up to you to fix those problems before anyone decides to do anything about them.
- In particular, a couple of the URLs you give as references simply lead to the home page of the publication concerned, which in turn do not mention Singleton at all. This is wrong because it's misleading. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:34, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
