Hi Excirial,
I trying to add this article but you wrote that the article doesn't have "Reliable sources". I added all the resource I found about him, what else I need to add for this article get approved? He currently showing in places that doesn't have a website or something I can link for. there is anything specific in this article that need reliable sources?

Hey, it's User: 174.54.231.32 The edits 'I' made were actually edits that my brother added. The one to the French Armed Forces was meant to be a joke by him, not me. Also, the page that was submitted for creation he submitted as a Wikipedia page on himself. He was also the one editing Taxation in the United States. I would be more likely to edit any pages on LEGO. I'm sorry for the trouble. I'll also be sending this message to ClueBot. 174.54.231.32 ( talk) 02:55, 10 May 2012 (UTC)174.54.231.32
Hello,
Trying to create an article for this popular software product. Gave references, still you have deleted it. Without having this article, I can not put Unreal Media Server in "streaming systems", "comparison of streaming media systems" articles; you keep deleting it.
Look at other entries in these articles: they are just like ours, articles about software products. Why can they have an article and we can't? Same amount of notability there. You either delete all of them or be consistent with your criteria. No justice right now, that's all I wanna say.
Hello-thanks for reviewing my article on Ghost Mountain Bikes-would appreciate some advise as I have been through many edits now. I am simply translating an existing post on the German Wikipedia site which the last editor suggested I do verbatim. So the one you edited is of an exisitng post. I have added a few more references then the exisitng post has on the German site but I am still being asked to provide more third party references. The standard for notablity/references seems high in relation to the existing post on bike manufacturers. There are approximately 40 bike companies represented on the English Wikipedia but very few from Europe so I am trying to round out the representation of bike companies. Suggestions on how to get this listed. trooperlake Trooperlake ( talk) 23:57, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vwegba4real) he wrote "I was born premature on June 14, 1991 in Warri, Nigeria" which coincides with the information in the draft of the article for creation he proposed
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vwegba4real/Oghenevwegba_Ogedegbe which contains
"He was born premature on June 14, 1991 in Warri, Nigeria. His father Simeon named him "Oghenevwegba" meaning "God has power", because he saw it as a miracle that his son survived not having been put in an
incubator."
He has recently created: template:Oghenevwegba Ogedegbe. I feel an experienced administrator should review the whole situation and since you declined the AfC I thought I should raise the matter with you. Thanks! Jpacobb ( talk) 16:26, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Hiyas there 80.13.85.217,
Before anything: I know that every single AFC template technically states this, so i know this might be somewhat redundant. However, is there a specific reason as to why you have not opted to create an account? An account would allow you to create article's directly, without having to go trough the AFC process to get them approved. Your AFC work so far is phenomenal; Personally i patrol AFC in order to quick fail article's that clearly have problems, and as a result i only very rarely approve any article (The ones where i can see nothing wrong whatsoever). Yet of the handful of article's i approved more then half were written by you. Personally i would have complete confidence in non-AFC based article creation in your case, so it might be something to consider. If not that is also entirely fine; I'm more then happy to approve a good article when i see it. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 18:19, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
I recently submitted an article regarding Torch Partners to Wikipedia. I have pared back the wording to ensure it is not an advertisement and have made sure there are external links to the news items to support the content. The article keeps on being rejected. I have looked at the submissions for other companies in the same space and, if anything, our submission is less "salesy" than theirs are. Can you please explain why our submission continues to be rejected?

Hello there,
You recently disallowed a submission for "Clement Greenberg" suggesting that there was not enough supporting evidence. I wonder if it were possible to edit down the content of that page so that that you are happy with it. Other than provide you with links to IMDb (a notable Film Database of which my client is a member), Production Base (a further notable Film Crew database of which my client is a member) and of course a link to his showreel on youtube, I am not sure what we can offer you by way of reference.
My client is also a member of the British Film Institute and the Guild of British Directors, the membership number of which I am happy to provide you with.
Apologies for taking up your time, and thank you for reading this. We do feel that our client is worthy of an article on Wikipedia, even if the article is breif so you are satisfied with the quantum of evidence required for such a submission, until a time it can be expanded upon.
Best,

Hello, I am sorry if I already posted this - I am brand new here. I'm writing an article on the Chartered Financial Consultant, a widely recognized designation in the financial services industry. I noticed several Wikipedia pages make reference to it ("Financial Adviser," "Financial Planner," "The American College"), but there is no Wikipedia article on the topic. My submission was rejected b/c it "sounds like an advertisement." I resubmitted it just now and have included a wider range of references. I hope this corrects the issue, as this is not an advertisement and I'm having difficulty seeing where/how this is being perceived as such. If it is still not acceptable, could you please be more specific as to how it sounds like an advertisement? Thanks.

Ex, I just had an article rejected. Working on this for my boss, Articles for creation/BobHarper. One of the film's he produced has its own Wiki page, he is listed in the box on the right as a producer, yet when you click on his name, you are redirected to several people who are NOT him. I was hoping to create an article about him so that when a user clicked on his name from the "Rookie of the Year (film)" wiki page, they'd actually get accurate information about him, it's producer. Not an unreasonable request I believe. I'd also like to link him to several other films and projects he's involved with which also already have their own wiki pages. I'm not sure why we were rejected, but would love to correct this if possible. Other documentation I can provide about his early career was written the old-fashioned way in print from Variety and the Hollywood Reporter (reputable sources), but such articles are not online, thus no easy URL's to direct people to. Any help would be appreciated on how to get this article approved.

Why was this speedy deleted? It is a category so it doesn't need any content, just an explanation of what it is. Could you please restore it? An article does exist for the term, this would be a category. Redhanker ( talk) 22:46, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
Consensus has developed that in most cases articles should not be tagged for deletion under this criterion moments after creation as the creator may be actively working on the content; This clearly does not apply to category: articles:
A3. No content.
Any article (other than disambiguation pages, redirects, or soft redirects) consisting only of external links, category tags and "see also" sections, a rephrasing of the title, attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, chat-like comments, template tags, and/or images. This also applies to articles consisting entirely of the framework of the Article wizard with no additional content beyond the above. However, a very short article may be a valid stub if it has context, in which case it is not eligible for deletion under this criterion. Similarly, this criterion does not cover a page having only an infobox, unless its contents also meet the above criteria. Caution is needed when using this tag on newly created articles.
{{
db-a3}}
, {{
db-nocontent}}
, {{
db-contact}}
, {{
db-empty}}
Consensus has developed that in most cases articles should not be tagged for deletion under this criterion moments after creation as the creator may be actively working on the content; though there is no set time requirement, a ten-minute delay before tagging under this criterion is suggested as good practice. Please do not mark the page as patrolled prior to that suitable delay passing, so that the wait does not result in the article escaping review at a later time.

Howdy from Texas. I wrote a draft of an article, mistakenly submitted two similar pages for the same article. Saw you note about the duplication and recommending deleting a duplicate. Thank you for catching my hiccup.
"This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Daisy Chain (historical novel), which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one."
Now, it appears that the original article is not now in the Wiki system either. When I click on the link in your note, I get a Wiki pg message that Wiki does not have an article with this title.

Sorry to bother you with something that is potentially so trivial, but as a newbie to "editing" wikipedia I do not know where else to turn. You have recently undone an edit of mine on the following page: Carddas. I had changed the content of the article to reflect the name that I deemed as proper, changing all instances of "carddas" to "carddass" (no this was not a vandal edit, despite how it may look). I have outline the reason for the inclusion of the latter of the two names in the talk page for this article. Please take a look at it and do my edit justice, or correct me if I am indeed wrong.

Dear Excirial,
Many thanks for taking the time to review/decline my article on 'Swallowfield PLC'.As a first time user of Wikipedia I now understand the reasons for why it was declined. I have made as many adjustments as I can to make it appear as neutral as possible. It should be re-submitted in the next week. I know that my sources were told that they 'should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject'. These are the only sources I can use at present to back up what I have written, so how can I improve/better them, as I cannot see how to further improve their reliability. I also added a section on the awards the company has won. Can I still include these, or is that deemed as advertising too?
Thank you in advance.

Hola Excirial,
I'm Antonia, I know you're a busy guy. Like really really busy. I'm sorry If I have a lots of questions, bear with me here. So here's my story, I've tried to submit a article about a Mountaineering Org based in Philippines in which gives a lot of help in doing community services and environmental protection activities. But unfortunately, just like you said, it can't be approved yet (yes yet, hehehe! I'm gonna do my best to know what seems to be the problem so that I can improve it and wiki will accept it someday) And I'm really really hopeful.(= Can I asked btw what should I need to do? It maybe silly but I think this org deserves to be recognized not only in Philippines but worldwide as well. This org is not just a hiking club but played such importance in environmental protection awareness as well, always ready to provide a hand in every help we can offer for our country. It's been 8 years and it's still growing. Aside from the fact also that one of its members Mon Dysangco was part of Mt Aconcagua (Argentina) Team expedition last year. It will always be a joy and pride for our country, knowing that Philippines is only a 3rd world country yet they still manage to give our country something to be proud of.
I've seen mountaineering clubs here in wiki. It inspired me to this one. I know, I know that SMC just started in year 2004 unlike any other hiking organizations, they've been here like forever. But can't you give a young blood org like SMC a chance to be published? =D I've tried to insert links as well wherein SMC was recognized in any activities, internationally or locally.
Here's the link to the page >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Smart_Mountaineering_Club
Btw, i like your username. It's pretty catchy, but I must admit hard to pronounce for me =D
Thank you for reading my silly rant. Hope to hear from you soon. Oh and thank you for reviewing my article as well and letting me know that it needs a lot of improvement. I'm challenge to do everything for it to be published. Whatever it takes.

I choose to study the website that I would like to write about ( see the article) and after study I think the website should be known by other people because its business model is unique and worth to learn. However, I am noticed that this article is more like an ads. Actually I am still writing, based on the example of apple inc., and try to be neutral. But the comment to the article is so brief. Since it's my first time to write articles on wiki, may I ask what kind of words will be noticed as in-neutral or as ads? Thank you in advance for your response.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vwegba4real/Oghenevwegba_Ogedegbe which contains
"He was born premature on June 14, 1991 in Warri, Nigeria. His father Simeon named him "Oghenevwegba" meaning "God has power", because he saw it as a miracle that his son survived not having been put in an
incubator."
He has recently created: template:Oghenevwegba Ogedegbe. I feel an experienced administrator should review the whole situation and since you declined the AfC I thought I should raise the matter with you. Thanks! Jpacobb ( talk) 16:26, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

I see you archived some Talk for Victor Lewis-Smith (which I believe should in fact be headed Victor Lewis Smith, without the hyphen). I am not sure it's good that this material is hidden from view - see my comments at [1] Are you able to help sort the article out?

Hiyas there 80.13.85.217,
Before anything: I know that every single AFC template technically states this, so i know this might be somewhat redundant. However, is there a specific reason as to why you have not opted to create an account? An account would allow you to create article's directly, without having to go trough the AFC process to get them approved. Your AFC work so far is phenomenal; Personally i patrol AFC in order to quick fail article's that clearly have problems, and as a result i only very rarely approve any article (The ones where i can see nothing wrong whatsoever). Yet of the handful of article's i approved more then half were written by you. Personally i would have complete confidence in non-AFC based article creation in your case, so it might be something to consider. If not that is also entirely fine; I'm more then happy to approve a good article when i see it. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 18:19, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

I attempted to make a new page for an author: Richard C. Kirkland. I did include references/in text citations. I am unsure why it said there were no references. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Richard_C._Kirkland_(Author)&action=submit

HI I have tried to submit a page documenting my existence as a respected and established actor in South Africa. Can you furnish em with reasons as to why my article was rejected and how I should go about rectifying the article in order for it to be recognized as valid.

Hello,
I recently submitted an article regarding Torch Partners to Wikipedia. I have pared back the wording to ensure it is not an advertisement and have made sure there are external links to the news items to support the content. The article keeps on being rejected. I have looked at the submissions for other companies in the same space and, if anything, our submission is less "salesy" than theirs are. Can you please explain why our submission continues to be rejected?

Hello there,
You recently disallowed a submission for "Clement Greenberg" suggesting that there was not enough supporting evidence. I wonder if it were possible to edit down the content of that page so that that you are happy with it. Other than provide you with links to IMDb (a notable Film Database of which my client is a member), Production Base (a further notable Film Crew database of which my client is a member) and of course a link to his showreel on youtube, I am not sure what we can offer you by way of reference.
My client is also a member of the British Film Institute and the Guild of British Directors, the membership number of which I am happy to provide you with.
Apologies for taking up your time, and thank you for reading this. We do feel that our client is worthy of an article on Wikipedia, even if the article is breif so you are satisfied with the quantum of evidence required for such a submission, until a time it can be expanded upon.
Best,

Hello, I am sorry if I already posted this - I am brand new here. I'm writing an article on the Chartered Financial Consultant, a widely recognized designation in the financial services industry. I noticed several Wikipedia pages make reference to it ("Financial Adviser," "Financial Planner," "The American College"), but there is no Wikipedia article on the topic. My submission was rejected b/c it "sounds like an advertisement." I resubmitted it just now and have included a wider range of references. I hope this corrects the issue, as this is not an advertisement and I'm having difficulty seeing where/how this is being perceived as such. If it is still not acceptable, could you please be more specific as to how it sounds like an advertisement? Thanks.

Ex, I just had an article rejected. Working on this for my boss, Articles for creation/BobHarper. One of the film's he produced has its own Wiki page, he is listed in the box on the right as a producer, yet when you click on his name, you are redirected to several people who are NOT him. I was hoping to create an article about him so that when a user clicked on his name from the "Rookie of the Year (film)" wiki page, they'd actually get accurate information about him, it's producer. Not an unreasonable request I believe. I'd also like to link him to several other films and projects he's involved with which also already have their own wiki pages. I'm not sure why we were rejected, but would love to correct this if possible. Other documentation I can provide about his early career was written the old-fashioned way in print from Variety and the Hollywood Reporter (reputable sources), but such articles are not online, thus no easy URL's to direct people to. Any help would be appreciated on how to get this article approved.

Hello Excirial!
You've reviewed and rejected my article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Holbi_Group) submission and I was wondering if you could explain why? There is a mentioning of reliable resources, which after careful reading, I still don't quite understand, why it is an issue.
Looking forward to your response!

Hi there,
I've had an article I'm trying to write declined twice now -- for Jonathan Lomas (the academic not the golfer) -- for 'lack of reliable sources'. I was wondering if you could give me some more details/guidance regarding what particular sources to change so that I can meet Wikipedia's standards, as this general comment is not that useful given the twelve or so references I do have.

Why was this speedy deleted? It is a category so it doesn't need any content, just an explanation of what it is. Could you please restore it? An article does exist for the term, this would be a category. Redhanker ( talk) 22:46, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
Consensus has developed that in most cases articles should not be tagged for deletion under this criterion moments after creation as the creator may be actively working on the content; This clearly does not apply to category: articles:
A3. No content.
Any article (other than disambiguation pages, redirects, or soft redirects) consisting only of external links, category tags and "see also" sections, a rephrasing of the title, attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, chat-like comments, template tags, and/or images. This also applies to articles consisting entirely of the framework of the Article wizard with no additional content beyond the above. However, a very short article may be a valid stub if it has context, in which case it is not eligible for deletion under this criterion. Similarly, this criterion does not cover a page having only an infobox, unless its contents also meet the above criteria. Caution is needed when using this tag on newly created articles.
{{
db-a3}}
, {{
db-nocontent}}
, {{
db-contact}}
, {{
db-empty}}
Consensus has developed that in most cases articles should not be tagged for deletion under this criterion moments after creation as the creator may be actively working on the content; though there is no set time requirement, a ten-minute delay before tagging under this criterion is suggested as good practice. Please do not mark the page as patrolled prior to that suitable delay passing, so that the wait does not result in the article escaping review at a later time.

Howdy from Texas. I wrote a draft of an article, mistakenly submitted two similar pages for the same article. Saw you note about the duplication and recommending deleting a duplicate. Thank you for catching my hiccup.
"This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Daisy Chain (historical novel), which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one."
Now, it appears that the original article is not now in the Wiki system either. When I click on the link in your note, I get a Wiki pg message that Wiki does not have an article with this title. Just want to make sure one copy of the article is in the review process. Casey Miller, Dallas, TX 03:23, 26 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by CAMiller62 ( talk • contribs)
Sorry to bother you with something that is potentially so trivial, but as a newbie to "editing" wikipedia I do not know where else to turn. You have recently undone an edit of mine on the following page: Carddas. I had changed the content of the article to reflect the name that I deemed as proper, changing all instances of "carddas" to "carddass" (no this was not a vandal edit, despite how it may look). I have outline the reason for the inclusion of the latter of the two names in the talk page for this article. Please take a look at it and do my edit justice, or correct me if I am indeed wrong.

Hello Excirial, I noticed you blanked an AfC submission you declined for being written like an advertisement. Please remember that ONLY articles declined for BLP or CV should be blanked. I know this is a new option in the AfC Helper Script, but unless it's CV or BLP, don't blank the submission. AndrewN talk 07:19, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Before going to a deletion review, I want to ask what your reasoning is for deleting the page. Notability has been demonstrated through numerous respected outside sources that are verifiable and included in the article. Please reinstate the page or specifically advise what you considered non-notable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishbowl_worldwide_media — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.224.100.100 ( talk) 20:49, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Dear Excirial,
Many thanks for taking the time to review/decline my article on 'Swallowfield PLC'.As a first time user of Wikipedia I now understand the reasons for why it was declined. I have made as many adjustments as I can to make it appear as neutral as possible. It should be re-submitted in the next week. I know that my sources were told that they 'should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject'. These are the only sources I can use at present to back up what I have written, so how can I improve/better them, as I cannot see how to further improve their reliability. I also added a section on the awards the company has won. Can I still include these, or is that deemed as advertising too?
Thank you in advance.

Hola Excirial,
I'm Antonia, I know you're a busy guy. Like really really busy. I'm sorry If I have a lots of questions, bear with me here. So here's my story, I've tried to submit a article about a Mountaineering Org based in Philippines in which gives a lot of help in doing community services and environmental protection activities. But unfortunately, just like you said, it can't be approved yet (yes yet, hehehe! I'm gonna do my best to know what seems to be the problem so that I can improve it and wiki will accept it someday) And I'm really really hopeful.(= Can I asked btw what should I need to do? It maybe silly but I think this org deserves to be recognized not only in Philippines but worldwide as well. This org is not just a hiking club but played such importance in environmental protection awareness as well, always ready to provide a hand in every help we can offer for our country. It's been 8 years and it's still growing. Aside from the fact also that one of its members Mon Dysangco was part of Mt Aconcagua (Argentina) Team expedition last year. It will always be a joy and pride for our country, knowing that Philippines is only a 3rd world country yet they still manage to give our country something to be proud of.
I've seen mountaineering clubs here in wiki. It inspired me to this one. I know, I know that SMC just started in year 2004 unlike any other hiking organizations, they've been here like forever. But can't you give a young blood org like SMC a chance to be published? =D I've tried to insert links as well wherein SMC was recognized in any activities, internationally or locally.
Here's the link to the page >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Smart_Mountaineering_Club
Btw, i like your username. It's pretty catchy, but I must admit hard to pronounce for me =D
Thank you for reading my silly rant. Hope to hear from you soon. Oh and thank you for reviewing my article as well and letting me know that it needs a lot of improvement. I'm challenge to do everything for it to be published. Whatever it takes.

Hi! Thank you so much for your review on my article. I am a student now in France and as one of my assignment in school I need to study the business model of French company. I choose to study the website that I would like to write about ( see the article) and after study I think the website should be known by other people because its business model is unique and worth to learn. However, I am noticed that this article is more like an ads. Actually I am still writing, based on the example of apple inc., and try to be neutral. But the comment to the article is so brief. Since it's my first time to write articles on wiki, may I ask what kind of words will be noticed as in-neutral or as ads? Thank you in advance for your response.
