If these new references are not sufficient - what does it take to contribute acceptable references?

Wikipedia:VRS is the simplest explanation of what is required. Incidentally, that Draft is not currently submitted for review. You may wish to resubmit it for another review by clicking the blue and white Resubmit button. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 08:36, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1) The Wikipedia Chinese version of Brian FOK is available since a year ago. Please see [1]. 2) The information in this English version is very similar to the Chinese version which are always quoted by media or people discussing in different forums. 3) This English version is necessary for people who cannot read the Chinese version of Wikipedia. 4) Brian FOK is a young football star in Hong Kong, he was born in Nigeria. Therefore, there are a lot of people in Hong Kong and Nigeria who want to see his information in English version. Please see the following article in Nigeria media: [2] 5) Brian FOK is the only player playing football outside Hong Kong (on loan from CSL team - Shanghai Shenhua to CF Cracks in Spain)in the Hong Kong Olympic U23 youth football team. Although Hong Kong football is very low in the FIFA ranking, football is still the most popular sports in Hong Kong. People in Hong Kong always hope there will be famous football players to bring HK football as well as HK national team to a higher standard. 6) Brian Fok, a 21 years old young player, is one of their hope. 7) If the draft is written in poor English or not organised, please kindly assist to improve, so that more people can understand this article.

References

  1. ^ Brian Fok Wikipedia (Chinese Version)
  2. ^ [1]
@212.100.68.214: The Nigerian source is helpful. The Apple Daily and Takungpao sources are reliable, but some of the others may not be. For example, the draft implies that Fok was playing for Hong Kong Rangers FC when he made his debut against Tai Po FC, but according to transfermarkt he came on for Yokohama FC Hong Kong (also known as YFCMD). Try to locate more reliable sources. If you can find them, English language sources (or Spanish ones) would be a better fit than Chinese for the English language Wikipedia. Such sources probably exist, since he has played in Hong Kong and Spain. Worldbruce (talk) 04:03, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like if possible to change the page from THE Red Dirt Skinners to just Red Dirt Skinners so that it shows up in searches. Is that possible? Reddirtmusic (talk) 14:09, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Reddirtmusic:   Done: Your article is now at Red Dirt Skinners. Please also see the note I left on your talk page about your user name. --Ahecht (TALK

Hi Wikipedians,

I am creating my first-ever Wikipedia article and I have two questions. The first is about formatting. The preview of my article looks good so far, but I want to add an infobox to appear in the top right hand side, with a picture and a few headings: abbreviation, formation, headquarters, president, parent organization, etc. I have found the Wikipedia page on adding infoboxes and found a template -- infobox organization -- that seems right for this purpose. However, I can't seem to get the picture to link. The Help:Infobox picture page makes it seem incredibly straightforward -- just type the file name in after "image =", basically -- but it just shows up as a red link at the top of my infobox. I'm probably missing something extremely obvious, but can you help?

The infobox part of my page currently looks something like this:

WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk/Archives/2015 March 26
AbbreviationKAP
Formation1984
Typenon-profit
HeadquartersWinnipeg, Manitoba
Parent organization
Canadian Federation of Agriculture
Websitewww.kap.mb.ca

My second question is about conflict of interest. I am creating the page as part of my job duties for my employer, Keystone Agricultural Producers, which seems to me to be a COI based on what I've read on the Wikipedia site about creating articles. However, I have also read that articles written by someone who is not objective may still be allowed to stay up if the writer is careful to use objective, neutral language and if the article is submitted to the Wikipedia community for review first with the conflict of interest declared. My question is, how do I do this? When I go to submit my article for review, is there a place where I can provide additional context for who I am, why I'm submitting it, and why it might be a conflict of interest?

I don't have a real personal vested interest in the organization I created the article about -- I'm just working here for a few weeks on a temporary placement -- but I am creating the article as part of my paid work for the organization, so that seems worth declaring.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer,

Jacquie

You need to tell your employer that they are asking you to do something that is deprecated on Wikipedia. Of course, that will then get yo fired for admitting here that you are connected! Wiser not to.
On the talk page of the draft, reply {{Connected contributor}} with all parameters filled out. Ideally, though, this works only if you have an account!
Using the WP:AFC process is your wisest move. We help you to rip out any COI style fluff and clutter, and we are the arbiters of when the draft is ready. Use us wisely and do your best to do as we ask. However, walk away from the article once it is accepted.
Abide by the following guidance: "We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42" but do not go overboard. A maximum of three, ideally one, reference per substantive fact you assert is considered wise. Not reference? Lose the fact!
Images on Wikipedia must first be uploaded to Wikipedia or to Commons, and licenced correctly for onward use. They must be suitably licenced by their source for use here. Once uploaded they will show up.
Thank you for working with us, not against us. Fiddle Faddle 23:50, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

176.12.107.139 (talk) 15:04, 26 March 2015 (UTC) This refers to a copyright issue with my article Alfred Edwin Jones. I have rewritten the sections which were at issue. How do I submit the corrected article for acceptance. At the moment the offending sections were removed.? Do I go back into my Sandbox? But the sections have also been removed from it? How to proceed? 176.12.107.139 (talk)[reply]

If you have re-written the material completely in your own words, you should re-add the re-written material directly in the article at Alfred Edwin Jones. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 08:52, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
