Hello again. I had problems with the submission of my article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Christian Seidel. I tried to provide all the requested information. Almost a week has past and I am waiting for submission or further instructions. You can find my correspondence below. Please let me know if the article is ready for submission. Thank you.

Hello, I've already asked a question regarding the article: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Christian Seidel but lost the link to the conversation. I don't know better than to copy the conversation so far in here and hope you can help me...
To be honest, the draft's references are something of a mess. A press release is not a reliable source. I'd expect at least some of the sources should be available online, but you have provided no links, making verification unnecessarily difficult. I believe you translated some articles' titles from German into English, which makes identification vastly more difficult and thus isn't helpful - I couldn't find any trace of the dpa reports about Seidel, and I'd expect the 2011 one to still be available via Google News. Then there's the list of references that aren't footnotes - are those actually used? What for? Or are they just a "further reading" list? Both the reviewer and later the readers will appreciate it if you make finding the sources a little easier. Furthermore, I doubt all those sources are really all that relevant to Seidel. For example, you cite a half-dozen sources on the Diana biography that predate the Seidel-produced TV movie. They probably won't provide any relevant information on Seidel. That said, you should submit the draft for review; the old "submission declined" message box has instructions for re-submission. Despite all those problems, Seidel appears to satisfy the notability criteria, and while I wouldn't be comfortable accepting a draft whose sources I mostly couldn't even find, once that's fixed, the draft should be up for a review. Since we're rather backlogged at the moment, my suggestion would be to first submit it and then clean up the references - it will probably take a week or two until a reviewer takes a look.

Good evening,
I was just wondering if all of my references should be in text citations (like reference #1) or if I can have a general list of references since I did not take anything word from word from these sources. This is the article draft in question Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/CU-2010 and CU-2020
Please let me know,
thanks

Hello,
I submitted an article for review by editors to ensure it complied with Wikipedia guidelines for submission, and I specifically asked for review from the standpoint of COI and neutrality since I work for the company I wrote the article about. The article I submitted for review was declined, but the reason given was that an article on the subject already exists. The note I received directed me to edit the original article directly.
There was no response from the editor addressing my specific inquiry as to whether the article fit Wikipedia's guidelines. So, may I proceed with editing the orginal article itself? I just want to make sure that my article passed editorial muster before putting it out there only to have it removed immediately for COI or neutrality issues.
Thanks for the assistance!

Thank you very much, Huon. I had read that the "Articles for Creation" area was where anyone with a COI should submit for review before editing the article. I apologize for this mistake. I will take another look at the article and look for some different sources. Yes, Dr. El Sohly worked at the university where the THC was purchased, but the original article made it sound as though the purchase was from an individual, not the university. I will explore a way to reword it. As for the articles that do not mention Mallinckrodt, unfortunately, because of the fact that we are a subsidiary of Covidien at this time, some articles may refer to us as Covidien. But, I will do some more digging to link to additional sources that are not found in the newspaper's blog. Again, our goal here is to correct the facts in a way that is Wikipedia-compliant. I really do appreciate your insightful response and the time you took to review the article. Thank you again. -- Rkhaarma ( talk) 13:00, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
I am attempting to submit a short biography of legendary L.A. thrashers Killision, they broke the whole pay for play and anti punk/thrash anti scene that permeated Los Angeles in the early to late 80's causing L.A.bands such as Slayer, and Metallica to leave L.A. for San Francisco to gain exposure, I've already submitted the bio with references such as James Hetfield of (Metallica) Jeff Hanneman of (Slayer) Gary Holt from (Exodus),everything stated here can be verified at you tube and wikipedia Jarrod Thornton(Jugheads Revenge)Dave Senescu (1ad7 and Cynic)Chuck Poquette(Stalag 13 and Bourbon Saints)other bands from that period can be found on YOUTUBE (DEMOLITION,DEAD AND BLOATED,EROTIKILL,BAD RELIGION,STONE SOLDIER,MX MACHINE and IDK)please help verify and Thank You for your time it would be a shame for that scene to go unoticed when you stack their music and crowds against the mainstream glams that did'nt deserve "any exposure"again Thank You for your time. sincerely, James Diaz(Jimmy Diaz,Jimmy D.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.118.103.115 ( talk) 23:14, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
