re: Draft:Eazel(VR Art Exhibition Platform)

Hi, I wrote an article which is about our company. But as it is the first time writing article on wikipedia, I totally have no idea why the article declined. :( Can you give some advice about the article? :) Eazelvr (talk) 02:31, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I want to know why this page is been advised to be deleted. So what are the resources where I can get guideline about creating an article on Wikipedia? Rulpats1 (talk) 12:45, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rulpats1 - It looks like the article was deleted due to WP:G11, for blatant advertising. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:47, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Rulpats1, I suggest you take a look at WP:Advertising and WP:Conflict of interest to understand what kind of issues can cause an article to be deleted for advertising, as your draft was. MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:44, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I created a page waiting for review, the comment left behind was "career section is written more like a resume than an encyclopedia article." I have revised the section, could someone help and look at the page please? Thanks so much!

JosephineYu (talk) 14:59, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JosephineYu, it will be looked at when it is reviewed, which you can expect to happen in about 4-8 weeks. JTP (talk • contribs) 15:50, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have a question on how to reference or cite websites that list the subject of my article? For example, the subject of the article is "Love A Child, Inc." and they have a TV program on channels like the Christian Television Network. I found a listing for their show on a website that was not user-generated. Is that okay to cite? Same thing goes for the radio station. It looks like Wikipedia does state in their guidelines that it's only okay to list websites like this when you are mentioning a title or referenced item like a listing, but I'm not sure.

Next, my editor initially stated when I'd posted the DRAFT for review that it read more like an advertisement and after I corrected it, he stated that he questioned my sources. The challenge was that he didn't actually read my sources. For example, the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative partnership details expressively mentioned the subject of my article many times in their publication, but he questioned whether they were mentioned at all (he said he didn't have time to read them). I did list pages where the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative partnership was mentioned for my article subject in the source. I also found "The Harvard Gazette" and "The Association of American Medical Colleges - American Medicine" publication also featured this relationship. These examples point towards notability of my article subject, as do my other news and magazine sources.

Is there a way to request a fresh editor's review of the details? If not, that's ok. This editor appears to want to really follow protocol, which I'm good with. I just know that "The Harvard Gazette" and other news sources listed are considered reliable, notable sources, and am hopeful for the opportunity to get my first article published.

Thanks for any help

Lyza6107 - It’s not a problem, just resubmit and another editor will be along to review it. All the best. KJP1 (talk) 20:01, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

KJP1 - Hi, How do I "resubmit"? Do you have a link you could recommend with instructions somewhere? I assumed it is still in some type of review state the way it was. Thanks for all of your help. Lyza6107 (talk) 20:29, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Lyza6107, I think you've already found it, but the Resubmit button appears at the bottom of the pink Decline box. Your article is currently in line for review, as shown by the yellow Submission box at the bottom of your page. MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:46, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My article Draft:Revolutionary Left seems to have been forgotten. I entered it last October it was reviewed in December and declined for copyright violation with one of the paragraphs. I deleted the paragraph and admin cleaned up the history and I resent it. And from there nothing. Now I have noticed that a similar article on Wiki about a group called Revolutionary Socialism (Spain) that merged with revolutionary left is being edited so that it appears to be about the Revolutionary Left. I added the logo for Revolutionary Socialism and now that has been deleted and I have been notified that it will be permanently deleted from Wiki media as it is no longer being used. Is there any way of speeding up the process as the delay is leading to inaccurate changes elewhere? Vahvistus (talk) 18:54, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to make an important note of the UK Picture Editors' Guild as it is a significant and notable body in the field of UK news photography. It has existed for over 40 years and is also represented by an annual awards ceremony.

I believe a Wikipedia page is necessary by virtue of the significance of the membership and nominees of the awards as all the aforementioned individuals play an incredibly important role in making sure the UK public get a rounder and truer sense of the the worlds daily news.

Please note that this Wiki article is about the awards for the UK Picture Editors Guild - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_Editors%27_Awards

I would link to link the two and add more content to the Guilds article as an when I've written it.

I just need help starting this up.


Many thanks
