00:47:51, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Avijit.gangopadhyay

I submitted a new article on "Feature Models in Oceanography" with References. The Article needs SIX (6) Figures. How do I inset Figures in the Sandbox?

And, the references seemed have lost their formatting while "copying and pasting" in the Sandbox. Please let me know if I am supposed to enter a blank line between each references.

Thank you for your assistance. Also, please suggest if any improvements to the article (format, fonts, placement of figures etc.) can be done to make it reader-friendly. Avijit.gangopadhyay (talk) 00:47, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Avijit.gangopadhyay: Be advised I moved your submission to Draft:Oceanographic feature models so you may remove the redirect from your sandbox if you wish. I also made your long list of references bulleted, to reduce confusion. See WP:CITE to learn how to cite sources in Wikipedia. To add figures, use the file upload wizard. Once your image is added, you can insert the image into the draft. I've invited you to try the Wikipedia Adventure to learn the coding you'll need to better write articles.
I'm concerned about your draft because it looks like you're recreating the work of Avijit Gangopadhyay. Be advised that Wikipedia cannot host copyrighted work, even if you wrote the original. Read our guide on donating material if you own the copyright to the works you're using if you have copied from them substantially. Your draft is also very technical, so you want to write for the average Wikipedia reader. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:14, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

05:26:51, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Nvoltz


can I add a picture once its aproved and if so what are the staeps to adding a picture. I can't seem to be able to load a jpg file onto the sandbox.

thanks,


paul


Nvoltz (talk) 05:26, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Paul, image files need to be uploaded to Wikipedia or Wikimedia first - see the "Upload file" link to the left of your screen. You can also get advice at Wikipedia:Uploading images and Wikipedia:Picture tutorial. However, please wait for your article to be approved before adding images, to avoid any issues with copyright.

09:45:10, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Dickersonmoney


Dickersonmoney (talk) 09:45, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I'm trying to submit an entry for money.co.uk, it's the fifth largest comparison website in the UK. It sits behind, Moneysupermarket.co.uk, GoCompare, uSwtich and Compare the Market - all of which have Wiki pages which we'd like to link to. There is very little information in the public domain about money.co.uk as they have never carried out PR or advertising activity so I feel wiki is a great place if people want information about the business. It is a genuine website with 2.5 million visitors a month.

Could you please advise me of what I need to do to get this uploaded?

Many thanks Tracy

Hi Tracy, your explanation speaks for itself. If Money.co.uk has not publicised itself, it will be difficult to prove it is widely known, which is a basic requirement before getting a Wikipedia profile. If you are connected to the company, maybe you could suggest they begin to market themselves, rather than use Wikpedia as a shortcut. Sionk (talk) 10:01, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

10:48:46, 7 August 2014 review of draft by Odubhain


I submitted this article weeks ago and feel unsure as to whether it is in the queue for review or not. The two notifications in the draft seem to contradict one another. What is its status?

Odubhain (talk) 10:48, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is safely queued for review. Fiddle Faddle 21:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Odubhain: And it has been subsequently no Declined. First, half of the article is a long listing of every podcast and brief activity the subject has ever done, which violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Due to a general lack of independent and reliable sources, there's no evidence subject passes general notability or nobility criteria specific to authors. This is just another sad promotional attempt. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:27, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

14:03:27, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Françoise Very


Good morning. I just submitted an article (Sara Holt). Now, where can I start working on a new one ? Can I cleanup my personal sandbox without loosing the submitted atricle ? Thank you.

Françoise Very (talk) 14:03, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Françoise Very - The simplest way to work on more than one draft at a time is to simply create another sandbox page. Create a link on your main userpage that looks like this - [[User:Françoise Very/Name of the new article]] - then you click on that (red) link and start the new draft. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:26, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly tell me why my page can't be made into an article... It's a legitimate bengali feature film censored by CBFC India. Kindly give me the reasons... Thanks. Taareybholanogelonakichhutey (talk) 18:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

18:36:15, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Mehitabel99


I recently submitted an article for review titled "Pratch & Company, Inc." I may have submitted the same article twice. Will this create confusion, or will the second submission take the place of the first? Thank you for your assistance.


Mehitabel99 (talk) 18:36, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

20:24:27, 7 August 2014 review of draft by Lkt1970


I submitted a draft for review, and when I went back to double check, the page read that it wasn't submitted yet. I pressed Save Edits to submit, but I am still having trouble. I submitted my draft nearly 2 weeks ago, I believe, and was hoping to have some response by now, but still nothing. So again, when I went back to double check, it said my draft wasn't submitted for review, so I followed the steps, and it said it saved, but I'm weary now.

Any help? Lkt1970 (talk) 20:24, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Lkt1970: no Declined because it doesn't meet either our notability criteria for movies our our general notability rule. The movie hasn't been reviewed by either Roger Ebert, Rotten Tomatoes, or the other usual suspects which leads me to believe it's not notable. You have only one good reference, The Globe and Mail, but that's really it. (I don't know how reliable Canadian Jewish News is.) I found this one brief mention in a journal. Also, it reads promotionally and doesn't even cover necessary issues like plot, film release details, etc. Finally, rather than create a new article, develop the content at Maria Altmann#Legacy, Republic of Austria v. Altmann#Documentaries, or Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I#Film where it already exists. As you build a better section on the film, fork that content into a new article. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:01, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

22:15:44, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Odubhain


I'd like some more information as to why all the citations in the article I submitted were summarily dismissed as "references" and said to be from the same sources. Actually about 85% of the citations were from publishers, newspaper articles, television show episodes, other people's interviews of the subject, and merchants (like Amazon and iStore, etc.), I know that Wikipedia is on a "notable" kick right now so I removed those references until I have a better feel for what sets off people's "hot buttons" there and would like a fair and impartial new review or some more detailed reasons as to why perfectly good references and citations are being rejected. If I put more citations in the article than I already have, then it will be mostly citations and no meat. I'm certain that is not what anyone would want to read. Odubhain (talk) 22:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

23:40:56, 7 August 2014 review of submission by Odubhain

I'm clear as to why the notable section was rejected even though I disagree with the general approach. I've removed that section entirely and do not believe that there is much wrong with the rest of the submission as it is modeled after several similar pages that are already published on Wikipedia. It is better than some and not as good as others and the citations are as valid as any others. Odubhain (talk) 23:40, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

04:39:51, 8 August 2014 review of submission by Alrich44


I have submitted my first article and was notified that it was approved, that is one reviewer put an okay, green check box on it. However, it is still in draft, so it hasn't moved. So, I'm wondering if it takes more than one approval.

I searched Help. Read the new article pages, and took a couple more runs at searching for the answer. "How many approvals does it take for a new article?" What is the approval process?

...still wondering. I usually hit the live chat Help, but thought I would try this one. Thanks!

Alrich44 (talk) 04:39, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was not accepted previously, and I cannot see in your talk page history, at least easily, where it was notified as accepted. No matter. I have given it a very detailed review today. I am pushing it back to you for what appears to be a good deal of further work, but which I hope you will see as a polish. I am very encouraged by the overall quality of this draft as my final remarks in the review indicate. This is not so much a rejection as a hope for excellence. A couple of my points are gating factors for acceptance in my view, but they are small work to overcome. Fiddle Faddle 06:57, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Timtrent. I guess I used the wrong term. It was reviewed, and the message came on my notifications page. "Draft:Crucible Industries LLC was reviewed by DragonflySixtyseven". Thanks for all the help. Alrich44 (talk) 22:02, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

13:13:51, 8 August 2014 review of submission by Washoe42


I just submitted an draft article for review, but I expected to see some kind of form asking for my intended title. I never actually put a title on it in the sandbox, and I've only edited articles before, not created them. How do I give the article a title? Also, there is a box at the bottom, now that I've submitted, that says "Warning: This page should probably be moved, but a page already exists at Draft:Sandbox." It has an option for me to move it to "Draft Space." Should I do this? I don't really understand the difference between "Draft:Sandbox" and "Draft Space." Thank you in advance for your help! Washoe42 (talk) 13:13, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The suffix "/sandbox" (which is case sensitive) is simply one of an infinite number of suffixes that may follow your user name. It would thus be possible to create any number of sandbox pages. User:Washoe42/Flame of Hope (diabetes) would have been a good name choice, because the title Flame of Hope is already taken and is being used as a disambiguation page. As it is, I Accepted your draft as Flame of Hope (diabetes). I am sure it will stand further improvement, but your role, now, is to act as its father and let it graze its knees, not as its mother and wrap it in warm towels in case it grazes its knees. On to the next draft! Call it what you will. And, even if you just overwrite everything in your sandbox we will find a good name for it when we accept it. Fiddle Faddle 15:13, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Just an additional note that if you want to edit your sandbox (to create a second, different new article there about something else), you would use this link to go there without being redirected to your newly accepted article Flame of Hope (diabetes). Arthur goes shopping (talk) 17:44, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much, this is all very helpful! One last question - when editing new things in my sandbox, am I safe to delete the "#redirect" in my sandbox, or should I leave it where it is? If I leave it, I can just edit above it, right? Hope these questions make sense... Thanks again :) Washoe42 (talk) 18:14, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Washoe42 - Yes, remove the old redirect when you start something new. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:35, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

09:28:08, 10 August 2014 review of submission by Zinfandelorganic


I would like to know if (and how) I can upload an image or images to my article whilst it is under review? Thanks

Zinfandelorganic (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New editors are in a kind of limbo when they must await the expiry of certain gating factors prior to being able to upload and include images. Once those expire you may upload images that are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, or, more usefully, in Commons
The article is in a state at present where it has been no Declined and a comment has been left on it detailing the reason. There is substantial work to do without getting distracted with picture addition. This is the time to go for substance, not decoration. Fiddle Faddle 11:44, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

16:28:01, 10 August 2014 review of submission by Vfleish


This is my first time creating a wikipedia article, and I am having some trouble formatting the citations correctly. Things like "ignored" are coming up and I'm not sure why. I just need a bit of guidance please!

Vfleish (talk) 16:28, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have handled almost all of the errors for you. You had omitted the parameter name url= before the http string. One problem remains with a missing title= parameter name, but this is to facebook so is unlikely to be a suitable reference. You also have a direct reference to "amazon.com/gp/product/1611686032/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1611686032&linkCode=as2&tag= " which is blacklisted. If it is a book use {{Cite book}} and note that the isbn= parameter comes into its own here. We do not ever link directluy to sales sites. Fiddle Faddle 16:37, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission was not deleted, it was merely declined (not published yet), and it is at Draft:Satair. Even better news is that the reviewer has left advice on that page about the organisation likely being notable by Wikipedia's standards, and advice for you on how to improve the draft to make its notability clear.

13:13:02, 11 August 2014 review of submission by Sianhunter


Hello I am in the process of submitting an entry named Playdale Playgrounds. I was wondering if it was more suitable to be classed as a 'stub' entry rather than a full sized entry. If this is the case please could you tell me the best way to convert it to be a sub?

Thank you

Sian Sianhunter (talk) 13:13, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Sianhunter: - The reviewer will make a decision as to what grade quality the article is. I recognise the Playdale name from taking my kids to the swings, so it should have an article. I've assessed it as Start class, meaning there is enough information to inform a reader, but further work is required, such as adding inline citations to sourced content, and fleshing out the company history.

I am trying to write an article on a new subject and every time I try to save it, it gets flagged as potentially having unconstructive edits. What the hell? I wrote it, it hasn't been published yet, so why on earth is it not being saved as a draft? This may be one of the worst processes I have ever encountered for submitting material because there is no way of learning why something is being flagged and the help provided is wholly inadequate.

Would you like to ask us something about Draft:DANZ BASE? Arthur goes shopping (talk) 06:59, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]



I don't know why it was blank but anyway I was wondering if it's possible to get an arcade game onto Wikipedia anymore. The only arcade games that I see that are on Wikipedia were either put on Wikipedia a long time ago when standards were less stringent or if they have console versions. Console versions means reviews on various gaming sites and metacritic. Otherwise according to the gaming notability page, it's almost impossible for an arcade game to be notable enough to be put on Wikipedia simply because media for Arcade games is scarce or non-existant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bloosteak (talk • contribs) 08:01, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am confused as to why my article on County Executive Ed Day was rejected despite the fact that I work as his communications director. Therefore, all the information on him is accurate. Being that he is an important government official, I do not see why he is not allowed to have his own page. How can we fix this issue?

TheRock2014 (talk) 13:33, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@TheRock2014: The reviewer left comments on the draft. "Ed Day himself" isn't an independent reliable source. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a website to hang press releases. Since you admit having a conflict of interest, you should not be editing this draft. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:55, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Chris troutman: that is not correct, actually editors with a conflict of interest are positively encouraged to use the Draft space and Articles for Creation, so that material they submit can be checked over by an experienced and non-conflicted editor before entering article space. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:35, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would really like to add a photo but did not know how, so I decided I would wait until it was approved and then I would upload the file. Is it to late to add a photo. This is for a school project and would like it to be as complete as possible. Thank you for your time, Heidi Ewuextra (talk) 22:24, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I submitted my draft for review and a yellow box appeared stating it may take a month to review. This sentence now appears at the top: This sandbox is in the Draft namespace. Either move this page into your userspace, or remove the This sandbox is in the Wikipedia namespace. Either move this page into your userspace, or remove the {{User sandbox}} template. template.

Am I supposed to do something at this point?

How do I start a new article in my sandbox since the draft of Mark Pryor is still there?

Start it at User:DDlb5/sandbox2 instead. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:22, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
