Hi there, can you help me improve the draft article about Antal Szabo? Thanks Cjhmacacct ( talk) 23:51, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted to let you know that you notified the wrong person by accident: the creators were Jpzafra and Samer.hc. I thought you'd relied on a bot bug until I checked this edit, so I'm no longer confused by what you did. Let me explain: I found the page while deleting G13-tagged old AFC pages. I thought that this one might have potential, so instead of deleting it I submitted it, having no idea that my username would appear anywhere except in the page history. Lest I be unclear, let me say right out that I don't have any stake in this page; I'm not objecting/challenging/asking for a change of mind/complaining/etc about this. I'm basically here to ask that you make sure to notify the actual creators. Nyttend ( talk) 05:03, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey man! I think my page is ready! I doubled my sources and took out the bolding and external links. Check it out! > /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Taylor_Deihl

Dear Annon why my draft rejected — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.68.97.36 ( talk) 05:11, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Anon126,
Thank you for you feedback and time in reviewing the submission. I'm new to Wiki and I'm trying to understand why my submitted page was not accepted. I've reviewed many similar pages and followed their formats and wiki protocol as it relates to sources, etc. I'm not understanding why this page was noted and not approved.
Is it due to the source that I noted form Spotlight? If so, it's a printed publication, not an online publication.
See examples:
/info/en/?search=Sutter_Home_Winery /info/en/?search=Markham_Vineyards /info/en/?search=Harlan_Estate /info/en/?search=Beringer_Vineyards
Any insight and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time- Bamdesign ( talk) 06:27, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
I am wondering why the article has been rejected? If the article is about an organization, how would it not sound like a promotion of some sort, especially when this article is new to Wikipedia? Would the article be neutralized after more reviewers begin editing it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsshung ( talk • contribs) 10:03, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Dear Anon126,
I got a notification that the article that I created for Paolo has been rejects since it "includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations". Although I refered to the relevant page regarding the use of footnotes I am not sure that I have understood what exactly is the problem. I am wondering if you could give me a specific example. I understand that you have a hectic schedule and hence if I don't hear from you I will ask for live help.
Thank you for your help and your feedback and I am looking forward to your response.

Hi Anon126, thank you for your recent response to my inquiry re: Ted Chu PhD. I believe I already resubmitted the article for approval, and now am just waiting to hear back?? I am sorry, as i am so new to this... is there anything left for me to do at this point?
many thanks!

Thank you for your suggestions. I will work on that today and resubmit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allycooks ( talk • contribs) 14:20, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
this was not vandalism. It was someone posting in the wrong place, who needed help.
Please be kind to new users. 88.104.19.233 ( talk) 02:42, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
The main point is, don't label it as 'vandalism' in the edit summary. I also suggest that, in such cases where the person is clearly confused about where they are, the standard message that you created is unlikely to be helpful - "it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox" doesn't really apply.
Most people deal with such cases by leaving it on HD and putting {{Astray}} which is appropriate - either that, or a more human response.
If you try to think from the perspective of a clearly-confused new user, they might not even notice the talk page message, and probably won't understand it if they do - but there's a fair chance they will check for a reply on the helpdesk itself.
But the main thing is, not to call things vandalism unless you're sure it really is - people tend to do that too often, mostly due to over-use of automated tools. And Wikipedia desperately needs to make new (often very confused) users feel welcome. 88.104.19.233 ( talk) 04:10, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
