Request on 05:46:24, 19 June 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Schapma3

Hello - I was hoping to find out what the process is for resubmitting an article for draft for consideration. I had submitted one, but it was rejected. I fixed a bunch of the issues, but can't figure out how to resubmit.

@Schapma3: I've resubmitted it for you. In future, don't delete the Articles for Creation history (the comment "<!-- Do not remove this line! -->" is a clue). The resubmit button is within that history. Worldbruce (talk) 06:57, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

I would like to know if I can get an article approved for publication but withheld until a later date. Thanks. Ponolan (talk) 11:22, 19 June 2015 (UTC) Ponolan (talk) 11:22, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

It's up to you to submit the draft when you think it is ready, but the time it takes to be reviewed and whether it will be accepted or not cannot be predicted. Per WP:DEADLINE Wikipedia does not care about any external schedules. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:44, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

I am aware of both of those facts. You didn't answer my question: is it possible to have an article approved but not published -- until I am ready to publish it? I assume not but thanks in advance for your answer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ponolan (talk • contribs) 23:18, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Anything in Draft space or User space will be visible to anyone who finds it, although sometimes search engines may not index them. There is no mechanism for articles to appear on a certain date and be invisible before then. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 06:52, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, the current logo for UrbanPro at Wikipedia is not visible properly, so I want to upload the proper company logo which is visible. How can I do that? Please let me know, I am pretty new to Wiki.

Thanks Soniathappa

My request to create a page for world-renowned, award-winning body painter Craig Tracy has been denied. What makes him notable beyond that, is that Craig is currently a main judge and producer on the GSN program Skin Wars. His Skin Wars co-judge, Robin Slonina, has a Wikipedia page - why is Craig not notable enough? What can I add in order for the page to meet the standards of notability?

Thanks!

Hi Bantammenace Go back to the draft and read the decline reason and the advice appended to it, in the pink box at the top of the page. There you will find links to guidance on what is required. Short answer - you need more and better sources. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:58, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

I need help. I don't think I quite understand what I should be doing to get my article created or what type of references are needed. I'm creating an article on Education at Work, a non-profit contact center in Cincinnati. Would anyone be able to provide some guidance?

Mahmike7 (talk) 16:06, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

@Mahmike7: The extent to which the draft relies on press releases is troubling. With those sources it's no wonder the draft has struck reviewers as promotional rather than encyclopedic in tone. Also, sources used to demonstrate notability must be reliable sources independent of the subject. WCPO and WXIX are probably solid sources, unless further digging reveals their stories to be regurgitated press releases. The coverage is all local, however, and fails to show national, or at least regional, notability. Based on the cited sources, the subject does not appear to be a suitable topic for an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not for advertising, marketing, or public relations.

What did i do wrong. Why is my article rejected. Can u give me pointers so i can fix them and resubmit them again.

@Usmanehsan11:If you are asking why User:Usmanehsan11/sandbox, about Ali Aftab Saeed of Beygairat Brigade, was rejected, the relevant guideline is: "members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases."
