editPlease help to create this article for me. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.191.58.92 (talk) 01:29, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- This article has not yet been submitted for review. When it is, there will be some delay, because there is currently a large backlog of articles waiting for review.
- However, before submitting, it would help if additional reference sources could be found and included in the article, and the articel properly summarize what those sources say. Note that these should be reliable sources such as published books, magazines, or newspapers that have a god reputation for fact checking, and are independent of the subject. There should be substantial coverage in such sources to establish notability, and to allow a reader to verify the content. See Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners for more details.

- A God reputation? Evidently you haven't been reading the same fishwrap as the rest of us. :) 66.102.83.61 (talk) 19:51, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
I have resubmitted an article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Fukhera Khalid, where I have amended a bit of the information in the article and also the references. Whilst previewing the amended article everything seemed fine, however, after I saved it and sent it to be reviewed the references are being displayed exactly the same as the older article, and it does not show any of the changes I have made, and I am not sure how to correct this, as i've tried submitting it again and the same thing happened.

- I've fixed the duplicate content in your article, so you should now be able to resubmit. However, as pointed out in the original review, you may have more success writing a Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Elbrook Cash and Carry article instead with the given references. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:26, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I have uploaded the amended article again, but the same problem has occurred, it is showing the old references and not the amended ones. Would the first article have to be deleted, so that it uploads successfully with the right references? (Mc37OM (talk) 10:51, 3 September 2012 (UTC))
- It looks like you're editing the article offline and appending the changes en masse to the bottom of the article, rather than changing what's already there in-place. Are you using something like WikiEditor to make changes? --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:59, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes I am using the WikiEditor to make the changes, I clicked on the link available to resubmit the article, and placed the whole article there, instead of editing what was already in place and saving, but I shall try that, thanks (Mc37OM (talk) 11:29, 3 September 2012 (UTC))
Article re-submitted - now what?
editHello,
I recently re-submitted this article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Okyanos Heart Institute based on reviewer comments, but there is no additional review of the article and it has not been published. Did I re-submit it incorrectly?
Thank you, Jamie Jamiemaloney (talk) 15:44, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- The submission wasn't marked with a review template. I've now done this manually - for future reference, you can do it yourself by adding {{subst:submit}} at the top of the article. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:50, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
The draft "Solomon Isaakovich Pekar" was resubmitted after it has been declined by Snowysusan. How can I learn about the present status of it? Will I be notified by an email? Thanks. Erashba (talk) 17:12, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- You'll definitely be notified on your talk page, and you can also add the page to your watchlist to easily see when the reviewer (or someone else) edits it. I believe you will also be notified by email, but since I've never experienced that myself, I give no guarantee. Huon (talk) 18:19, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- There is a setting in the Wikipedia general preferences which sends an email each time a user's talk page is edited, only available for those with a confirmed email address set in preferences, I think. I don't think there is otherwise an automated email notification for AFC reviews, but I am not sure. If there is, I strongly suspect it would require that the "email this user" function be turned on in preferences, which in turn requires a confirmed email address, if I am not mistaken.

I have pressed "edit", added the sources to the text, and continued by "click here". But it seems that the sources disappeared. What to do? Helgenæs (talk) 18:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- According to the page history, your last edits were on August 8. Apparently you haven't saved the page after adding the sources to the text. There's a "Save page" button below the edit box and the box for the edit summary. See also Help:Editing. Huon (talk) 18:19, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
I've written the article "Arnold Anthony Schmidt," which has been declined as non-notable. The person received nominations for an Oscar and an Emmy for his work -- what more must he do to be notable?

- The general notability guideline says a topic must have received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." IMDb is not conbsidered reliable because it has very little editorial oversight or fact-checking. His own university website and the book he authored are not independent. My suggestion would be to look for newspaper coverage. Huon (talk) 20:37, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
