Can you please help me understand what needs to be done further and why the article continues to get rejected. The recommendation says to "add citations to reliable sources." I've done this by adding manual ref tags. I'm at a loss for what to do next. Thank you. |

- See an issue needing an answer on my talk page that you could help with? Feel free to answer!
I will absolutely not respond to your comment unless you follow the following simple rules in placing a comment on my talk page.
- 1)You have read my FAQ below and haven't asked a question answered by it.
- 2)You don't post appropriately a new section (see button/link above) at the BOTTOM of the page
- 3)You ask me to just generically fix your page without a specific question, I'm not interested in fixing everyone's page for them.
- 4)You need to hyperlink to the page you are discussing, this is probably most important. If it's remotely difficult for me to figure out what page you're talking about, I'm not going to waste my time.
Sorry if those four things seem harsh, but I review and patrol hundreds of pages a day and can't keep up with all the replies.
FAQ
You declined a page I submitted for AfC and have a question... If that question is directly answered by one of the hyperlinks posted after I reviewed it, I will not answer you. You'd be surprised how often it happens. The posted links are posted for a reason!
Why did you not leave a comment when you tagged my page?
I typically won't unless I think the issue may be unclear. New page patrol is overwhelmed (~50,000 pages to be reviewed with only ~1000 being currently reviewed every week) and if I spent the time to explain every tag, I wouldn't be able to review even a third of the pages I do now.
I completely disagree with a tag you placed on my page!!
If you disagree with a tag, please state why on the article's talk page and leave a note here for me to review it. If you think the tag was a blatant error on my part (it happens, sorry), then please revert the edit and leave me a message letting me know that was the case.
I don't see a conversation or message I posted on your talk page...
Check the archives, conversations are typically automatically archived after five days. If you wish to comment on an archived section, please move it back to the main page. I do not regularly monitor my archive pages.
Why do you keep tagging my page? Do you have something against me?
No. Occasionally after you address certain issues, more issues will arise on my re-review. For example, let's say I first tagged your page for having no references, after you add references I may go back and add a tag for no in-line citations (which would have been irrelevant before there were references). Also, if there are multiple, small issues with your page and I can see you're new, I might just tag a few things at a time instead of overwhelming a new user. Please do not take any of my tags personally. I do not target people. I go straight down the list on the new page patrol. I do however regularly watch pages I review, which is why you might see me come up often in edits on your page.
Will you help me fix issues you tagged on my page?
Typically not, unless I need a break from new page patrol. Why? I used to do this and it got to be very overwhelming. I feel the actual new page patrol needs my help more than helping to fix things on already existing pages (not to mention there's others much more qualified than me for most fixes suchs as categories, copyediting, etc). It doesn't hurt to ask though, but please do not be offended if I do not help or don't respond. The tea house is your friend, use it. Note: I will always clarify on tags, though. All in all,don't hope the house will build itself!
I would like to give you an award, thank you note, or barnstar...
Thanks! You're awesome. And I always love the support. But please put it on my user page, not my talk page. :)
Road Recovery
Hello. You said that my page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Road_Recovery read too much like an advertisement. What steps could I take to make it more neutral? Thanks! Roadrecovery (talk) 01:46, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- I'll be happy to answer specific questions you may have, but I'm not going to throw out generic fixes for questions that can already be answered by help links already posted. WP:BUILDER Sulfurboy (talk) 06:03, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Do the statistics on the side of the page cause the article to appear like an advertisement? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roadrecovery (talk • contribs) 16:07, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- I would say so, yes. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:23, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
NEWBIE
Sulfurboy -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:GTChannel
Thanks for review of Draft: GTChannel. Please excuse - newbie. It was suggested I show notability via significant coverage documentation and other. In writing the article I sourced as much as I could find out there online. Not sure where else to turn to. In digital entertainment I know it is known, but not sure how to show that. This is good fun. I have an idea for page #2 on completely different subject, I just want to get this update under my belt. Hopefully no one beats me to the punch. Rob INTERSTREAMER (talk) 20:58, 6 July 2015 (UTC)(INTERSTREAMER)
- If there isn't other sources for it, then the article doesn't yet meet the requirements for notability and doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Thanks. Sulfurboy (talk) 21:01, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Jason Adelman - Draft
Good morning Sulfurboy,
re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jason_Adelman
I submitted a revised edit based on your comments on June 25th about a week ago, hopefully this meets your criteria so we can get it active. Please make note, the owner of the picture of Smirnoff & Adelman that was deleted due to lack of ownership info, emailed wiki providing permission.
Thanks again for your hard work and let me know if I can be of any further assistance getting this active. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robot19332 (talk • contribs) 14:33, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
- Reviewed and declined again, read comments and post further issues you have on it on the talk page of the draft as I am watching it. Thanks. Sulfurboy (talk) 15:21, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Add new category for the article
Good morning, Sulfurboy Re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaron_Meiri
Thank you for revising this page. You help is of great value to me. I've seen that you put the article into a category, Israeli People. This is very good. I've done some search and I think we could add another category - Category:Artistic_directors. I'll do this myself but I have no idea how. Can you help me with that? (and even walk me through the steps so I won't bother you again). Let me know your thoughts. Thank you! Daniela — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miha dani (talk • contribs) 05:20, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- In the future I would recommend using WP:HOTCAT Sulfurboy (talk) 15:18, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your feedback! I've enabled the HOTCAT widget.
I need your help on figuring out the rest of the issues: "This article has an unclear citation style." -> Can you be more specific on that? What exactly can I do to make it clear? "This article may be in need of reorganization to comply with Wikipedia's layout guidelines." -> I will work on this later today, but some advice will be of great help. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miha dani (talk • contribs) 12:55, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
17:51:47, 6 July 2015 review of submission by Gpeja
I am not asking for a review just a quick note if the direction I am taking (by removing the mission and references to advertisement like references) is the way to go. The statements made in the article are the facts (year of founding, an interesting fact that is supported by a man (Michael Smith), targeted population, programs and the Canada wide support). Should I add criticism (for example the name is a bit strange for instead of and there are some complaints about influence)[1]?
- ^ Martin, C (2012-12-28). "Dr Maria Issa, President and Dr Julie Wong, Director, Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology". Bristol, UK: Research Media Ltd. Retrieved 2015-06-28.
JW: I think that in comparison to other countries Canada fares better in terms of the position of women in science and technology: the image of a female scientist is, for the most part, recognised. Our CAN $100 bank note shows a female scientist on it; however, the image of a female scientist in Canada is multifaceted. Canada is a country that is built on immigration and the ethnicity of visible minorities is something that has created controversy.

- Yes that helps, but I'd also focus on putting some of those lists in a prose form. Just having a large list of accomplishments or what the org does makes something look advert like.Sulfurboy (talk) 17:53, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
I combined everything in the one prose section (History). The programs section didn't make sense after I re-wrote history. Does it make sense now?Gpeja (talk) 06:33, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
SleepBot
Hi Sulfurboy!
I have a question regarding a draft you reviewed. I know that (due to backlogs) you want to spend less time discussing so that you can spend more time reviewing. Still, I do hope that you could visit Draft talk:SleepBot#Notability, take a look at my question, and reply there.
Your talk page is fairly busy, and it looks like my last post was auto-archived before you replied. To try to prevent this, I shall bump this thread in advance. The bots will leave it unarchived for 200 days unless you explicitly request archiving. To request archiving, simply remove all of the template code, and comments, between here and the end of this message.
Cheers, —Unforgettableid (talk) 19:37, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- I resubmitted and approved it. I did add a citation tag at one spot where confirmation is needed. Sulfurboy (talk) 19:42, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- You added a {{citation needed}} tag to the end of a paragraph. My source for the second sentence in the paragraph is http://janezhu.com/sleepbot/ but I think it may be better not to link to that source from within the article. The source is on Ms. Zhu's personal website. SleepBot has been downloaded more than a million times. I think Ms. Zhu would prefer not to receive emailed technical support requests from Wikipedia readers. So, that second sentence has a source; it is just not visible to readers. May I therefore please remove your {{citation needed}} tag from the third sentence?
- P.S. Thank you for approving the draft!
- Cheers, —Unforgettableid (talk) 19:52, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- No there needs to be a listed source on that everyone can see. Especially since its a claim about the future of the product. Sulfurboy (talk) 19:56, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- SleepBot has been downloaded more than two million times. Do you agree that publicly showing the source might lead to her getting unwanted emails asking for tech support? —Unforgettableid (talk) 20:15, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- I can't be a crystal ball and predict things like that. I imagine though that if they made a website with an e-mail on it, then they don't mind getting e-mails to it. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:18, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
That webpage is not part of the SleepBot website, which is a separate website. It's part of Jane Zhu's online portfolio website. She wants people to see the work she's done on SleepBot in order so that they'll offer her jobs. Not in order so that they can email her for free tech support. :)
On the SleepBot website, she doesn't reveal her personal email address at all.

Sulfurboy (talk) 19:40, 6 July 2015 (UTC)Your recent AfC contributions
Hi Sulfurboy, I just wanted to remark on your recent string of AfC reviews. While I am impressed that you have been steadily reviewing drafts for the past six hours, I should mention a few things that other reviewers have noticed, primarily copyvio. In a random sampling of your accepts (two), we came across two pages with copyright violations. Drafts must be checked for CV infractions before they can even be looked at for quality. Please make sure you check this as your first course of business, and flag anything that requires it. If you want to chat more, simply ping me or another AfC reviewer, or stop by IRC. Cheers, Primefac (talk) 21:11, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

- Also, please do join us on IRC at #wikipedia-en-help connect so that we can discuss quickly. Thanks L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 21:13, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) A tool used by almost all AfC-reviewers is toollabs:copyvios developed by The Earwig. There is a userscript located at User:The Earwig/copyvios.js which you can install, if you haven't. Thanks. (t) Josve05a (c) 21:14, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- Awesome, I'll use that tool from now on, thanks. Sulfurboy (talk) 21:15, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

User:Sinha ajay/sandbox review (6 Jun)
Just a courtesey note to explain why I removed your assessment of the article. The article was in Hindi, so should have been declined on language grounds, not as a test. A quick google translate reveals that there is text here, not random characters. Rankersbo (talk) 09:15, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Your flag on Code of Tanks page
Regarding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Tanks
Hi. You flagged this page as needing Verification but I'm unsure what's missing or what you feel needs changing. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cotdev (talk • contribs) 22:01, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hey, to show notability we need to see some sort of outside sources, such as news or media coverage. Primary sources aren't typically enough to establish notability. Sulfurboy (talk) 22:03, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
23:26:36, 6 July 2015 review of submission by Visitrick
Hi Graham,
Regarding an article you declined, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Loandepot, can you provide some feedback on how to make it better? Should it be more conversational and less matter of fact? Are there specific words or references that should be omitted? Thanks for your help.
-Rick
Visitrick (talk) 23:26, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, more like a prose style than just listing things off, make sure to establish how the company is notable outside of just being a company WP:ROUTINE. Look to a page like Citibank for an example of how a bank wiki page may be written. Obviously it won't be as extensive as that page, but it'll give you the general idea for layout and tone. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:36, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Why did you add maintenance tags to a page that's already tagged for CSD and has no chance of lasting a week? I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, just curious. →Σσς. (Sigma) 04:45, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- Done via AWB, I usually won't skip just because there's a CSD, takes two seconds and doesn't hurt anyone. Surprised you haven't seen this happen more often with AWB users...Sulfurboy (talk) 04:47, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trade-off Espaço-Tempo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Data storage (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Sulfurboy, I have made the necessary changes and removed the words that appeared as PEACOCK terms to me. Please advise if any more changes are required that may have been missed out by my inadvertently.

- "based on parody of political leaders characterized in an amusing yet subtle manner" is an example of a line that is still problematic. This line either needs to be sourced properly or removed.Sulfurboy (talk) 17:07, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
16:09:45, 7 July 2015 review of submission by Gramiller
Hi Sulfurboy, thanks for your review of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Children%27s_Health_System_of_Texas. I'm new at this, so I'm unsure about how many sources are needed to be credible. Currently, the page references 7 sources not generated by Children's Health. If that's not enough, then how many more sources does it need? Also, I'm not sure how to make the article more neutral since it's already just stating facts. Again, I'm new so please forgive my ignorance.
Gramiller (talk) 16:09, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- It's not a matter of a number of sources as it is creating a neutral article. Wikipedia is not just a place to put a business listing. There needs to be neutral encyclopedic content. Such as finding articles that discuss the impact of the hospital in the community, etc. Basically you don't want the article to just look like a press release. Sulfurboy (talk) 17:09, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
18:13:17, 7 July 2015 review of submission by GgEb
Thanks for taking the time to review this article. You stated that this draft did not meet minimum guidelines for citations, however you were not more specific than that. Will you please be more specific? The help page for minimum guidelines is incredibly long, and from your comment it seemed as though you could be referring to anything in a 20 page span of help topics.
I added additional citations to the end of each paragraph where appropriate, but even this extra step did not seem necessary.
GgEb (talk) 18:13, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- Looks fine now, feel free to resubmit it. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:14, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Bridgenex
Hello, Sulfurboy! I noticed that you speedy-declined the submission of User:Schiappetta/Bridgenex saying that the article already exists on Wikipedia. But it doesn't. I deleted that article on July 2. On July 6 I restored it to the user's userspace. There is no article Bridgenex on Wikipedia at this time. --MelanieN (talk) 18:42, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- I declined it because Draft:Bridgenex already exists. I meant to select the submission option, not the mainspace option. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll fix it. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:45, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- Both of them are by the same user: one is a draft he had started after the original was deleted, then the other is the original article I restored and userfied. You are right they can't both be submitted. The writer will have to focus on one and let the other go. --MelanieN (talk) 21:04, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Article rejection
Hello Sulfurboy,
I just had an article for Qrator rejected because it is claimed it reads too much like an advertisement. Could you please give me a more detailed feedback than what is stated on Wikipedia:Spam page? I have was advised by the editorial team on #IRC to write this article like twitter and it has been rejected. In fact, I think the Twitter article is written in a much more biased way than my article. Please help. I have spent 12 hours trying to write this and reference it right... Many thanks.
Jasoniliou (talk) 18:43, 7 July 2015 (UTC)User:Jasoniliou
- The entire article reads more like a press release than an encyclopedic article. You should implement more independent and outside commentary on the company and eliminate the superflous amounts of company info that reads more like an about page from their website.

Sorry you take a personal umbrage, but we are not to judge a topic by how poorly an article may be written or sourced, but per WP:NRVE upon the sources available even if not used. And WP:NF does not mandate big spreads in major media, only coverage that is independent and reliable, sources WHICH the nominated made mention dismissively while inexplicably deciding somehow that NF was failed.

thanks for taking the time and reviewing the draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Fair_Stone. The article still seems to be missing the formal tone. I reviewed the text for any claim or marketing blah blah. I removed 3-4 sentences but could not find anything else. Is there anything in particular you critize? The article is meant to describe the formal requirements of the standard as well as the procedure. The previous reviews were very helpful and I have adjusted (i.e. reduced) the text accordingly. Segments such as the motivation or the need for a standard have been omitted. The reception segment contains an endorsement ("particulary recomendable" label), this however is a justified third party evaluation.

From Draft to Final Article - Source Page Name Mistake
Hello Sulfurboy,
This draft was approved and moved to a wrong name Page.
Here is the old link: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Bouclair&direction=next&oldid=668657099
The article was published under the name: Urbashi Chatterjee while it was supposed to be Bouclair. This was the message I sent you on 27th June after the initial acceptance:
""Thank you and Can I change my article page heading/username Hi Sulfurboy,
Thank you for approving Bouclair Home contribution. I however, would like to change the heading/direct link of the page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbashi_Chatterjee) to Bouclair Home. It is currently Urbashi Chatterjee and looks pretty odd as my user page talking about the company. Can the article be better named?
I also want to delete my sandbox history so that article appears as a BOuclair page on Wikipedia and not as my Sandbox contribution or user page. Please help. Thanks
Urbashi Chatterjee (talk) 11:18, 29 June 2015 (UTC)Urbashi ChatterjeeUrbashi Chatterjee (talk) 11:18, 29 June 2015 (UTC)""
The article had to be re-moved to another page which is the final target page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouclair
However, the source page which redirects to this target page is appearing on Google results. I need you to guide me to change that. I have tried removing the redirect link from my user page and even deleted the old content from sandbox and user pages of Urbashi Chatterjee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Urbashi_Chatterjee https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Urbashi_Chatterjee/sandbox&redirect=no
For your reference: https://www.google.co.in/search?q=bouclair&oq=bouclair&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i60j69i61j69i59l2j69i61.6495j0j4&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8
Please do guide me in this because my name appearing on a company page or article makes no sense to me or to the company...especially when the page is on Google through Wikipedia. Please help me fix this.
Thanks, Urbashi Chatterjee (talk) 13:27, 8 July 2015 (UTC)Urbashi ChatterjeeUrbashi Chatterjee (talk) 13:27, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I am just confused with you saying "extensive coverage". Do you mean to say I should add some more information about the artist? Can you please explain more?
JKhade (talk) 14:33, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- The issue is that there isn't reliable, independent sources about the person. Only the symphony or links to wikipedia which do not count. Sulfurboy (talk) 15:33, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
16:25:55, 8 July 2015 review of submission by TCVCJ
I put in 3 new references - are the ones now contained in the body of the draft not applicable? And if not, are the 3 new ones enough? I also need to link this article to visittazewellcounty.org.TCVCJ (talk) 16:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
TCVCJ (talk) 16:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Check back with me after you fix the formatting of the references as I can't pull them up. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:27, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sulfurboy, thanks for the review! Can you please let me know which material does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations in Alan Chebot's article? That would be of great help. Thank you!
Melissa Marie 2015 (talk) 17:19, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- The first two paragraphs and last paragraph have no citations. Sulfurboy (talk) 17:25, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- That, and the whole thing is written like a press release. Start by properly verifying the Emmy, right where it needs to be. Drmies (talk) 17:31, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Alan Chebot is mentioned in the referenced wikipedia pages for:

Hi there. Can you give me a bit more feedback on my references? Were you not able to get access to the research papers? SL is not a front page brand, but it has a unique place in the software landscape and has an interesting backstory. Not a lot of its early history has gotten press coverage as it was used in highly sensitive or classified projects.
Can you comment on what in particular does not make this notable enough.
thanks, and thanks for your work on wikipedia,
here is the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:SL_Corporation_(software_company)

Request on 18:08:41, 8 July 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Nitareeny
Hello, I received an email that my submission for Sex in the Title by author Zack Love was not accepted. Was it because of the article it was in in USA Today? or the way I edited the submission? This is my first time doing this and it's a bit overwhelming. Hope you that you can lend a hand or have some advice. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Anita Viccica Toss

Hello Graham
As I understood your main objection to my "Eugen Schileru"articlea as being its lack of verifiable sources, I decided to list under "References" and/or "External Links" only the titles with links on the Web, so instantly verifiable.
I'd like to maintain the list under "Further Reading", as these are solid sources of info, most available through "Amazon" or other chains.
I'm greatly appreciative for any further suggestions, piece of advice you'll send my way. Yes, I'm a seasoned reader of Wikipedia, by megatons, but "Eugen Schileru" is or hopefully will be my debut contribution.

- If you are a seasoned reader of wiki, then you should see how offputting and confusing the formatting of the page is. This is what makes verifying the citations so difficult. If you need specific help formatting the page, please let me know and I'll link you to the appropriate help pages. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:21, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Advice
Hello, First thank you for assistance with my article.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_W._Papin Second, my questions. 1st, you posted a link rot warning on the page and I am redoing all of those citations. Second, How can I improve the "grade" of the article from start level to something higher? Thanks again for your helpJrptwins (talk) 00:58, 9 July 2015 (UTC) I am now using the book template and the reference looks like this
- Traub, James. Too Good to Be True. New York: Doubleday, 1990.[1]
It has the url within the reference but it is not a direct outside link. Am I doing it correctly now?Jrptwins (talk) 01:27, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
It's me again, I think I did all the books correctly using the template for books. I don't want to be presumptuous and remove the link rot warning myself. But if I have done it successfully can I or could you take it off? I still would like to know (when you have a chance how to go about making the article have a better grade than "start". Thank you for your time. I am sure you are swamped with work on Wikipedia. Jrptwins (talk) 04:33, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Please Advice
Hello, Thank you for your review (and rejection) of my article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Roomer. I am wondering if you read my references, if so, you will find out my written contents are neutral and loyally true from the references which are mostly top class of media. Could you give some helps: indicating which sentences you think are not neutral and not true. And this is not an Ad. Thank you. --Indepentten (talk) 01:48, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Graham. Thank you so much for making my article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Australian_Civil_Affairs_Unit) acceptable for Wikipedia.

Bhushan Mate
Hello Sulfurboy, Thank you for your review and rejection of my article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Bhushan_Mate. I am wondering if you read article and all my references, there is no advertise in the article. I have given enough referecnes supporting the article. Bhushan is a wellknown photographer in India, I wonder, why his article was not created in the past.... There are many strong referecnes in the Marathi language which you might have not understood. All my comments are neutral and loyally true from the references. Could you help me undertstand which sentences you think are not neutral and not true?
I am also getting a feeling that since Bhushan is from India and the article creator is also from India, are you having any bias against both of them? (this is not a allegation but thought) I can share humdreds of so called celebraties including porn actor and porn accresses having articles on Wikipedia. The official websites of those mentioned on their Wikipedia pages directs the people to the sites which are mostly provibited in most of the countries. Why can't we have the article of a honest person who is doing something for the society on Wikipedia? Coolgama (talk) 03:48, 9 July 2015 (UTC) The reason the article was rejected was because of lack of inline citations needed for a BLP. It had nothing to do with the sources. And the accusation that I am some how biased towards Indian people is absolutely absurd and unfounded. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:18, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
A kitten for you!
Thanks Sulfurboy for encouragement on trying to get my first article done. The feedback on notability (which clearly I should have read in more detail before I submitted...) should help me improve it. Cheers!

Which article? Considering your kindness I'd like to help if I can....I'm a sucker for kittens, haha. Sulfurboy (talk) 05:46, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Nasty P
Hi, I dont know if im doing this correctly as Im not 100% perfect at wiki, however my article was declinded first of all for the words used, i changed these and now my article declinded for something totally different .. surely if this was a problem first time round I would have been told ?? all the links provided are references to the person, I was told in the wiki chat that they were fine
can you please explain further
Azura81 (talk) 07:06, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
You have recently accepted this draft. Regrettably the referencing is not of the standard that is acceptable. I have started to flag the inappropriate referencing and have found it to be a lengthy PR piece full of WP:BOMBARD. I wonder if you would take a further look, please. The simplest solution is to return it to the Draft: namespace and to give the WP:COI contributing editor guidance. Fiddle Faddle 10:16, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
Your request regarding re-review Draft:Quantum thermodynamics
Hello Sulfurboy,
Regarding your request to explain why this article should be re-reviewed, please see comments by Tnd1111, AndreXuereb and Lmikmik on the page Draft:Quantum thermodynamics. We believe that these comments by professional researchers explain beyond any doubt why this article is not at all related to Quantum statistical mechanics, and therefore should not be merged with Quantum statistical mechanics. Furthermore, the current redirection is misleading and contradicts the terminology used by the physical community. Best wishes Lmikmik (talk) 10:31, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Can you please help me understand what needs to be done further and why the article continues to get rejected. The recommendation says to "add citations to reliable sources." I've done this by adding manual ref tags. I'm at a loss for what to do next. Thank you.
