Dear Helper,

Thank you for helping me to create an article of "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masato_Sagawa". I have two questions: 1. the wiki page shows: "This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: The sources ought to be formatted properly, though they are functional as is. They are also lacking a DOI or other identifier.. Please help improve this article if you can. (July 2015)"

I would very much like to cleanup it to meet the quality standard, and I would need to learn how.

2. I uploaded a photo of Sagawa, but it looks very small. Please help me to understand how to put the photo properly.

Thank you so very much,

Christina

Hi Christina.h.chen I've fixed the referencing to consistently use the "Cite" templates. The "cite journal" template makes the DOI link work correctly. I also added a few wikilinks and fixed a few minor errors. The one issue I could not fix is the lack of references in the awards list, only one of them is referenced. Don't worry about the photo, it's good as it is. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:16, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I submitted an article for review on Oct. 2. It is in line for consideration, however, the number of articles under review has been steady at between 480 and 580 since I posted it. Is there a reason for the delay in consideration? Anything that I can do to help?


SterlingStevenAWilliams (talk) 12:58, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SterlingStevenAWilliams: The most appropriate approach is to realise that the number is steady because more drafts are being added and drafts are being reviewed. It is sensible to await a review. The reviewers are all volunteers and review the drafts they feel they have the skill to review. There is no queue per se, though priority if often given to the oldest candidates.

I have taken a hard look at the draft and made some suggestions there. A full review in this topic area is outside my competence and I have asked an editor experienced in this field to consider it. Fiddle Faddle 15:49, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there!!!! I am a new one of creating articles in Wikipedia. I'm working on this draft for a very long time spend my time to review the errors/reasons for declining my draft on it since I received more notes & suggestions that the reviewer was given to me & they put it on my draft a while ago. That is why my draft was declined many times. But it was resolved and I'm already fixed on it through the advice of the notes that the reviewer was given through the messages on my talk page. So, I'm writing this request to review again my draft entitled "Kenneth Earl Medrano" so that this draft will be transfer to the article page & it will be accessibly found on the search engine as soon as possible since this draft is highly much needed & in demand by the people especially the followers/fans of him. He is a very well-known person in the world of Philippine entertainment. They want to know about facts about him. I hope that this time my draft will be accepted and approve by the reviewer/s as well. If do so, if ever there's any problem again to my draft, I am very welcome again to re edit and check some errors on it on which the reviewer will check on it. Give me some notices on it. Thanks

@Mystywave18: Asking the same or similar questions over and over again on this help page is unlikely to endear your cause to the reviewers here. We are human. We do not take well to being badgered. The greater the number of requests to review you draft the greater the likelihood in human terms of folk thinking you are here to promote the gentleman. Be patient and await the generosity of a volunteer reviewer donating a portion of their life to reviewing your draft in their own good time.
Meanwhile, ensure your referencing complies with our needs. For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS, and is significant coverage. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact cited, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make this draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the person is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today. Fiddle Faddle 14:05, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Mystywave18:   Declined. As noted on the draft, he does not meet the notability criteria as a model, actor, or singer. I also agree with Fiddle Faddle: WP:BLP1E applies. His notability is related to one event. It may just be too early in his career. JSFarman (talk) 17:35, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I really need to get this page deleted. It was in my sandbox and now it appears here, and there is no way I can get rid of it. Can an administrator delete it for me? http://wpedia.goo.ne.jp/enwiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Lisa_Kessous

Thankyou. Magoohoo

@Magoohoo: Wikipedia admins don't control external sites. By contributing to Wikipedia you understand everything you put on it is public. It's very unlikely anyone will be able to help you get it removed. --  Kethrus |talk to me  15:03, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Can someone please (administrator) DELETE THIS ARTICLE http://wpedia.goo.ne.jp/enwiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Lisa_Kessous- THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF THE SANDBOX AND POSTED HERE? http://wpedia.goo.ne.jp/enwiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Lisa_Kessous tHANKYOU.

@Magoohoo: Please don't spam the helpdesk, I've already replied to you. If you need help from an admin (who will likely give you a similar answer) use the admin help template. Contacting the sites administrator will help you, but it's unlikely they'll do anything about it. This is for help off wiki. --  Kethrus |talk to me  15:10, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I was wondering how I could improve my article to make it more objective. I was told that the references may not be reliable, but I tried to collect as many different references as possible from reputable news sources. Do you have any suggestions?

Kevinhella (talk) 18:49, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kevinhella: The rationale for the decline was not the references, it was that the submission may read like an advertisement. This means you may want to reword the article so it seems less promotional or bias, and adheres to a neutral point of view. Taking a look at WP:PROMO, WP:WEASEL, and WP:NPOV may help you. --  Kethrus |talk to me  19:45, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
