edit00:25:31, 8 November 2015 review of submission by Kestrel34
editI am writing this because I do not know why it was declined. Wikiiawesome said it was because there were no references. Is that correct? Kestrel34 (talk) 00:25, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Kestrel34: Hi Kestrel; thanks for stopping by. Yes, Wikipedia articles generally need references so that the content therein is verifiable. On the subject of Coldwater Spring, I now believe it to be the same spring as the one described in the Camp Coldwater article. (While that article does not specifically call it "Coldwater Spring", the descriptions are nigh identical.) So you're welcome to contribute to the existing Camp Coldwater article. Just make sure any content you add is verifiable so that others can follow your research trail. Thanks, and happy editing! /wia /tlk 01:08, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Greetings ...
I recently received a msg from a (JMHamo) saying that I had not revised my page in 6 months and that the page was about to be deleted. I had revised the page less than 2 months ago, so I am curious as to why this message has been sent to me. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

- @OneMind604: The post by JMHamo at User talk:OneMind604#Your draft article, User:OneMind604/sandbox is about User:OneMind604/sandbox. As an administrator I can see you created that page 25 March 2015 and haven't edited it since. Draft:Los Poetas is another page and has not been nominated for deletion.

editSorry for the misunderstanding. The confusion was probably generated by the sign in front of Camp Coldwater, which is entitled Coldwater Spring. Again, sorry for the misunderstanding. Regards, Kestrel34. Kestrel34 (talk) 13:12, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, i built this article based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMB_Group , so why it is declined?
It is absolutely similar.

- Hi, and welcome to the Help Desk. Thanks for stopping by! I was not the original reviewer but the content reads like an advertisement for the company, not like an encyclopedic entry. A lot of the content seems devoted to showing how great the company is. Another problem is the use of buzzwords. For example, the sections reading "This is supported by a standing capital syndicate of ultra-high net worth industrialists and sovereign investors who have combined resources to invest in off-market large cap transactions globally" and "Scepter sponsors the acquisition of large cap strategic assets" are nigh incomprehensible to me. It strikes me as a lot of PR-speak that is appropriate on a company's own website but not on Wikipedia, where content must abide by the neutral point-of-view policy. Remove the buzzwords and focus on explaining what makes Scepter notable, not on value judgments about the company and the subjective strength of its investment choices. Thanks, /wia /tlk 18:05, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
I am writing because an article I created about Dr. Darius Kohan was not accepted based on the references I used. I would love some clarification on this. These were all third party, neutral sources, with the exception of the "External Links," none of which were used as references. I'd love some suggestions. I worked very hard on this. Thank you so much.
All my best, Alix
