Hi peoples,

Thanks for this service. I have been trying for a while to upload a wiki on IAN COHEN - I have had issues as I used his full name in my first edit and he was not linked in that way, now I have made it IAN COHEN (MEDIA)...so I hope that works, as there is already a politician who has his name..(but is it possible to do the disambiguation thing?? I can't work out how) Also some people unfairly want it deleted because I could not link, and now hopefully I have linked correctly. I really need some help in an editor having a look at the site and then helping me post it correctly. Any assistance appreciated BDChill(Bdchill (talk) 07:49, 13 October 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Saving the article at this stage will be an battle. I have left a comment on the deletion discussion that it might be moved to the Draft: namespace. At present there are huge problems with it. You have inline links, the references are poor, and the bloke is Australian, thus a minority in the English speaking world. What you need is the chance to make the article work, and your inexperience here has hamstrung you, rather.

Your references need to be about Cohen, not a list of things he has done. WP:42 will clue you in. Use Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL to try to find more about him. Adjust the search until you do.

I want to know why my article on DNipCare has been rejected Dnipcare (talk) 08:35, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You should probably go and look at the comment on it, then. If you need more information please return here, to this section and ask further questions. Fiddle Faddle 08:46, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draft:Home and Hospital Education (HHE) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The message about Home and hospital education - HHE said: "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Learning at Home and in the Hospital - LeHo instead." - But LeHo page does not exist yet, it has been dropped back many times so far, every time with a new reason that has not been there before. I submitted it again some minutes ago after some corrections. If this HHE article can be created, I could then further improve the LeHo page (I would have the necessary other wiki page with a relevant link to the LeHo one, etc...) Or shall I first delete the complete LeHo page in order to let the HHE accepted, and then try to put the LeHo one back? I need at least one of them accepted finally. Is this duplication thing the only reason why HHE was not accepted? thanks Edendiss (talk) 09:30, 13 October 2014 (UTC)edendiss Edendiss (talk) 09:30, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Edendiss: Sure it does. Right here. It's going to be deleted as it is a word-for-word copy of the LeHo website. Wikipedia is not here to help you advertise. You need to find independent and reliable sources like newspaper articles to make a claim of notability. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:18, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris troutman: The source site has a creative commons licence. Its; still a lousy article, though. Fiddle Faddle 16:19, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It, Leho, is now at AfD. All opinions are welcome. Fiddle Faddle 16:27, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Timtrent, i can see your reply now. (Just asked at your talk page.) I just don't understand what you mean by "lousy". We have talked about it being definitions. What else I could do with it, I just don't understand. Let me know what you want to see for saying OK and I will try to recreate the phrases. Thanks Edendiss (talk) 19:55, 13 October 2014 (UTC)edendiss[reply]

@Edendiss: I have left a detailed message about this entire topic on your talk page. Let us use that venue, or discussions will get sprayed everywhere. Fiddle Faddle 21:17, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm requesting some assistance with my draft that has been declined.

My question is...my page is based on a web product which has yet to be featured in many newspapers, journals, though there are some. If I'd like to mention web content as a citation...what kind of website, web content would be deemed a "notable" or "verifiable" secondary source (aside from a newspaper or journal online) -- what kind of blog posts or which websites, if any?

Is Crunchbase considered notable for example?

KAndrea16 (talk) 13:00, 13 October 2014 (UTC)KAndrea[reply]

Look at WP:IRS. To answer the direct question, no, Crunchbase is not reliable. Simple thing is if the product is not out and there aren't references in mags and newspapers, then it's not notable. Rankersbo (talk) 13:09, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I posted my article titled 'Foodzoned' yesterday on wikipedia, however it was rejected due to some reasons. Could you please guide me as to what the problem was , as me and my team would wish to have a wikipedia page as that would really help us reach out to a huge audience which we desire in the initial days of our startup.

Would really appreciate your response.

Thanks and regards, Team Foodzoned.
