Good day. Please help with review my article. Most of the sources are in Russian. Concerning notability: his books received significant critical attention in the oldest specialized newspaper -
Literaturnaya Gazeta (
1) and other journals:
Izvestia (
2),
Zinziver (
3) +
4,
5 and etc.

- Hi Manadr1kz. The sourcing being in Russian isn't an issue. The only issue is that often English speaking reviewers tend to have difficulty reviewing the reliability of these sources, which is why it can take a bit longer to review. Hopefully someone will get to it soon. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 18:50, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
Tle003 ( talk) 09:52, 7 May 2019 (UTC) I have created a wikipedia article that has been given start-class status on Schoenus compar. I want to move this article to be accessible to the public, but I am unable to do that. I think that it is because it might be classified under hidden content.
I recently also published an article on a similar species (Schoenus quartziticus, that was immediately accessible to the public once it was given stub-class status, so I know that this process can be very quick.

- @ Tle003: - hi there, the article is just awaiting patrolling which happens to all new articles. It's relatively quick in most cases but can take a couple of weeks. Some patrollers work their way down the queue (oldest first), others watch the new articles come in (which is why your other article was patrolled so rapidly). It is publically accessible, it just won't be indexed by google just yet. It has a grade from the AfC reviewer, I believe.
- Once it's been patrolled it's just a matter of google's spiders sweeping for new articles, which we can't alter, but is relatively frequently. Nosebagbear ( talk) 10:29, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
In February, I submitted two drafts (
Draft:Almaz Capital &
Draft:Alexander Galitsky) for restoration. These are translations of articles that have long existed in the Ru-wiki (
Almaz Capital Partners &
Александр Галицкий) and the wiki-importance of which is not in doubt. Since I acted as a paid editor, these articles had to go through the draft stage. Unfortunately, the procedure does not work properly. The article about Alexander Galitsky cannot be reviewed for 2.5 months, and the article about the Fund was rejected at the end of March without a proper explanation. At the beginning of April, I answered in detail on the
page of the article why this decision was hasty and erroneous, but I did not receive any reaction within a month. Now I ask you to give the submission another ten minutes and consider it based on the merits.

- @
Gruznov: I advise patience. Larger drafts submitted to AfC often take longer than the already-long 2 month wait period, and the articles you imported from ru.wiki certainly fall into this category. Post-2018 en.wiki also has a much more stringent criteria for notable companies than any other Wiki, and this adds time to the AfC process. In addition, note that the vast majority of AfC participants are volunteers, and cannot be expected to keep pace with a paid editor's timetable. As for the rejection of your draft at
Draft:Almaz Capital, that is for you to hash out with
K.e.coffman. Best.

Gruznov: Different wikis have different notability standards. The current en.wiki notability guideline for corporations is
WP:NCORP, recently tightened. I did not find that the page meets it, and especially
WP:CORPDEPTH. That is why I rejected the draft. --

- @ K.e.coffman:, It's good that the en.wiki raised the bar for articles about organizations. However, in my previous answer to your short refusal, I explained in detail why the topic has met all the requirements set by the WP:NCORP and WP:CORPDEPTH. The history and activities of the fund are described in detail in the serious media (here is at least one example — “ How the Alexander Galitsky Foundation became the leader of the venture capital market”). -- Gruznov ( talk) 21:47, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

How do I separate the content sections of my Wikipedia page like all Wikipedia pages have? Or is that an automatic formatting feature that separates the content by section once the article is reviewed and published?

- @ Worddust: - it depends on if you're editing in "wikitext" or our visual editor (which is a what you see/what you get editor). The former is easy to spot as there will be lots of {{words}} at the top.
- In wikitext we use ==Section Header Topic== for headers and ===Sub-section headers=== for sub-headers
- In Visual Editor, there will be a button at the top that says either "paragraph" or "Header" - click on it to change. Headers are underlined.
- You will actually save time overall creating a draft if you practise first. The Wikipedia Adventure, which takes about 70 minutes (don't have to do in 1 go) is probably the quickest way to get the basics down. Nosebagbear ( talk) 17:34, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I am needing help with uploading some photos to my draft page. We have the rights to the photo, but when I try to upload into commons it is not approved.
How can I fix this?
- Hi ADSTucson. The presence or absence of photos will have no effect on whether a draft is accepted or not, so you may wish to focus elsewhere for now. In any case, this page is for questions about the Articles for creation process. For a question about uploading an image to commons, see their help desk. -- Worldbruce ( talk) 22:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi the draft title should be daft: Kinsley Laurence instead of Mauritian people pt1

LucasBDaniel ( talk) 20:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
- @ LucasBDaniel: a draft using the name you requested is at Draft:Kinsley Laurence. They seem to be duplicates, so I will ask that Draft:Mauritian_people_pt1 be deleted. SamHolt6 ( talk) 21:02, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
