Hi, Thank you for your help. I have another question now, I hope you can answer it. On the first of March has my article "Elsa Cladera de Bravo" been refused again, but they don't say what I have to improve. They suggest contact with editors. How can I improve my article?

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 03:06, 5 March 2014 (UTC)There is an important error in a template. I was going to correct it but since the error is in a template I can't.
All information in Wikipedia articles should be verified by citations to reliable sources. Our preferred method of citation is using the " cite.php" form of inline citations, using the <ref></ref> elements. Using this method, each time a particular source is mined for information (don't copy word-for-word!), a footnote is placed in the text ("inline"), that takes one to the detail of the source when clicked, set forth in a references section after the text of the article. In brief, anywhere you want a footnote to appear in a piece of text, you place an opening <ref> tag followed by the text of the citation which you want to appear at the bottom of the article, and close with a </ref> tag. Note the closing slash ("/"). For multiple use of a single reference, the opening ref tag is given a name, like so: <ref name="name"> followed by the citation text and a closing </ref> tag. Each time you want to use that footnote again, you simply use the first element with a slash, like so: <ref name="name" />. In order for these references to appear, you must tell the software where to display them, using either the code <references/> or, most commonly, the template, {{ Reflist}} which can be modified to display the references in columns using {{Reflist|colwidth=30em}}. Per our style guidelines, the references should be displayed in a separate section denominated "References" located after the body of the article. | |
Inline citation code; what you type in 'edit mode' | What it produces when you save |
Two separate citations.<ref>Citation text.</ref><ref>Citation text2.</ref>
{{Reflist}} |
Two separate citations. [1] [2]

Templates that can be used between <ref>...</ref> tags to format references {{ Citation}} • {{ Cite web}} • {{ Cite book}} • {{ Cite news}} • {{ Cite journal}} • Others • Examples |

Respected sir, Inspite of referencing the article is deleted. I would like to know the reason. If you prefer, let me know how it can be improved to standards of Wikipedia. Thanks Royalrajasthan2013 ( talk) 11:59, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
Response: As you state, that the article is overly promotional, as I can read the G11 criteria(which was mentioned), it refers to the case that where the subject is notable,(verifiable from web search) then improvement is preferred over deletion. This way, the step taken of deletion is not right as per my views. The subject is quite notable and it can be proven on web search about the subject. Royalrajasthan2013 ( talk) 06:47, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Response: Thanks for the immediate response. I have contacted the administrator via a message on their talk page. Thanks for your time to answer my query. Best wishes!
Thank you for taking the time to help me and share your expertise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IXPeak ( talk • contribs) 05:08, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Anon126,
Can I ask your help please how the article of RepRisk could be rewritten that it does not appear as advertisement? I have read the related policies and I thought I met the notable, independent view requirements. The aim was not to post an advertisement but to make this valuable information available.
I would really appreciate some help pointing me to where the article appears to be an advertisement?
Many thanks and best regards, Vredey — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vredey ( talk • contribs) 08:31, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

The Government Pension Fund of Norway one of the world's largest investors with over 600bn euro in assets and is considered a leading player in responsible investment worldwide is using RepRisk’s ESG data for ethical screening, among others.
Thank you for your guidance., I have added References to the Michael E. Nelson article. Do I have anything more to do before it can be uploaded from the Sandbox. Very much appreciate your help to-date. Alex AlexMcCallum ( talk) 00:54, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
