Hi,Matthew
Thanks for taking the time to review my article. I'm in way over my head here and find Wiki editing quite impenetrable! I'm not even sure if I'm making proper use of the Talk feature!!
I've re-submitted my article adding and external reference, so hopefully that will do the trick. Thanks again for your advice

I wrote a topic, about my Employer, "Redforge Innovatives". The first time, it got rejected because it looked more like an advertisement to the moderator. The second time I edited , it was again rejected with the same reason.
May I know how to write an article for a Company/Corporation without sounding like you are selling the company rather highlighting the important points. Thanks.
Hello 117.201.180.36. First off, please read WP:Conflict of interest: it is very hard to write a properly neutral article about your own employer. So far as not sounding like advertising, try reading the article with the perspective of someone who hates Redforge, and remove any point that cannot be inarguably proven. For example, "With a vision to provide the best service to the customers, the company is making its own way in the market" is absolutely over-the-top clearly advertising, since it has not one single objective fact in the whole sentence. Honestly, looking at the article, more than half of it is just empty promotional/puffery phrases, so most of it should be removed. I suggest reading Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) to see what should go in a company article, or whether Redforge qualifies for an article in the first place.

I hope you're doing wonderfully. I am writing hoping to put together a strategy/learn what I can do better to get articles published.
To give some background, I worked for an American, non-proft (503c) art foundation in Florence, Italy. The foundation is called Advancing Women Artists, and they are doing work to locate and restore artwork by women and to help publicize more information to give women artists more of a standing in history. I have written articles for a few of their books and for the foundation itself. The foundation has also created a documentary that's won an Emmy award and has contributed to research.
Based on your experience, what is the best way for me to have articles for the foundation books and other articles for the foundation? Is there a format I should be better following, or something I can do better with this?
I appreciate your help and time. Thank you!
Best,

Hello Rachelmychajluk. My general advice would be to pic the aspect of the organisation that has gotten the most coverage in news press or academia. I would suggest carefully reading the guideline WP:Notability, because fundamentally that's the standard that any article drafts will be held to, so a good familiarity with that is the single best way to wrap your head around it.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Skeet (Newfoundland), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page St. John's (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Matthew, I have looked at your suggestions and added all I can at present.
I am assuming that I need to add more 'categories'?? How can I do this?
I tried to find here in Wikipedia, but with no luck, maybe you can suggest?
Thanks so much... I can add photos to this article, but I have not found a 'birth year' for the individual.
Question is, how can i improve the article to go from 'stub' to the next level?

Hello MatthewVanitas:
WikiProject AFC is holding a month long Backlog Elimination Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from March 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014.
Awards will be given out for all reviewers participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 1800 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the drive's page and help out!
A new version of our AfC helper script has been released! It includes many bug fixes, new improvements and features, code enhancements, and more. If you want to see a full list of changes, visit the changelog. Please report bugs and feature requests there, too! Thanks.

Thanks for uploading File:A strumbly dulcitar.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

Dear Mathew,
I recently wrote a piece on a person called Hugh Pilkington. I have reworked it along the lines suggested by the editor. However, I have heard nothing back and now I cannot seem to log in with the user name and password I created (even using the re-set password function). I am at a loss what I cqan do now. You once helped me with another article on Rosine Guiterman. I wonder if you can suggest what I can do at this stage.
Sorry to bother you
Best wishes,

Hello MatthewVanitas. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "sandbox".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|User:Oscaceres/sandbox}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing.

Hello MatthewVanitas,
I received a message to move the sandbox items or replace the template. I'm new to this, so I'm not sure what to do. I've created an article and I'm doing edits to it right now but only in the article space. I would like to remove the text now in the sandbox space, but not sure if this is the right thing to do?

Dear Mathew,
I have a photo of Hugh Pilkington which is available at [1] and I have permission from the Windle Trust to use it. I am really unclear how to insert it.
Also, in terms of de-orphaning the article, I believe the relevant link would be to the Wikipedia Pilkington entry: Pilkington.
I am unclear at this stage how to proceed further...
Thanks for any help you can give me and sorry for the bother

Hello Ron, the deorphaning part isn't too hard. You just need to find any existing mentions of Hugh which are not yet wikilinked and just add the [[brackets]] around them. Also you could find articles where a mention of Hugh could be added (but not shoehorned in where it's out of context), like any larger article about education in Ethiopia, etc.
So far as the picture, there are a few options, given that photos of Hugh are all post-1923 and by default assumed to be under copyright:
Under WP:Fair use you can upload one photo of Hugh to the article regardless of copyright status, but that picture can not be used anywhere else on Wikipedia and remains under copyright. Basically Fair Use is what allows a New York Times review of a book to show the book's cover in the article without breaking copyright, it's an extremely limited default permission for "showing an example of the subject". To use Fair Use, just click the "upload file/image" button in the "Tools" section of the bar running down the left side of your Wikipedia screen, and select "Fair Use - Deceased Person" from the options available.
If you have a photo, and the presumed/apparent owners are willing to release it under WP:Creative Commons, you can upload it to WP:WikiMedia Commons, but you must file a WP:OTRS ticket for it. That is, it's a standardized consent form that you email to the copyright owners, and they approve and send (not to you) but to Wikimedia Foundation itself to prove they consent. Note that WP:Creative Commons is not just "sure, you can use it just on his Wikipedia article" (that's just Fair Use), but CC is largely like releasing an image to the Public Domain to be used by anyone. If the Foundation is only willing to let the image be used legally on Wikipedia itself, use Fair Use; if they're willing to relax their copyright and let the world use the image for all purposes, upload it to Wikimedia Commons and send them an WP:OTRS ticket to fill out and submit.
Sorry that photos are a little complicated, Wikipedia is just very serious about following copyright laws. Hope this helps! If you have further trouble, check with the expert volunteer advisors at WP:Teahouse.

Dear Matthew,
Thanks for that!
There are no other mentions of Hugh Pilkington to link him to, and categories like "Ethiopian education" are really not helpful/relevant. Does this mean it remains an "orphan"? Is that a problem? The existing links, eg to Pilkington Glass and the London Missionary Service, are relevant and are in the article already.
I have uploaded the photo... thanks for your clear instructions.
One thing puzzles me. If I put "Hugh Pilkington" into Google, the article does not come up.If I put "Hugh Austin Windle Pilkington" into Google, then the article does come up. Does Google require his full name to recognize him? is there any way of having Google recognise just "Hugh Pilkington"?
Anyway, thanks so much for all your help
Best wishes, Ron Witton

Hello Matthew,
Thank you for reviewing my submission Bruce Paine (guitarist) and pointing out the reason why it was rejected. No hard feelings of course - I understand that submissions have to be correct and suitable.
I would like to point out that I have read the page regarding notability in music several times but failed to find anything there that helps, except perhaps under the heading "Criteria for musicians and ensembles" item 11 'Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.' My various guitar recordings are in rotation on "Radio New Zealand Concert" which is a major national radio station in the country I live. There has been something on air each year since the 1990s. Is this something that you consider of any relevance?
The reason I've submitted the page about myself (not something I'm entirely comfortable about doing!) is that I noticed Wikipedia has just one classical guitarist listed under the category [Zealand classical guitarists] and felt that others who are or have been part of the New Zealand classical guitar scene are equally worthy of mention. Few if any have achieved international fame but that doesn't make them any less relevant to the history of guitar in New Zealand.
Even so I'm not sure that I will persevere with my submission. I will have to wait until some notable fame comes my way or someone more capable and suitably qualified takes up the cause.
Incidentally I couldn't help notice on your user profile that bagpipes are mentioned as a 'primary focus'. A while ago I wrote and recorded a piece for bagpipes, piano and guitar. That was an amazing experience I'll not forget!
Kind regards
Bruce Paine - New Zealand classical guitarist of some notes ;-)
Hello Bruce, as you note, though not an ironclad prohibition, WP:Autobiography is strongly discouraged due to the near-impossibility of writing neutrally about oneself.
Setting that aside, the current primary issue with your draft is that it makes many "claims to fame" which are not verified by a clear footnote to an outside authority. As one example, you state Patrick Shephard, music reviewer for the Christchurch Press, said of Paine's February 2002 solo performance at The Giants House ("Linton"), Akaroa that "Paine creates a nice sense of space in his playing, is unhurried but intense. Definitely a name to watch.", but you don't have a clear footnote specifying the title/writer/date/publication (and if available a url link, though not obligatory). I know the sentence implies a footnote, but biographies of living people require explicit footnotes in order to protect the subject from defamation. Any significant claim about the subject (other than non-controversial info like birthplace, schooling, family) must be cited to reliable neutral authority. If the fact cannot be clearly attributed to a WP:Reliable source, it can't be included.
A minor formatting sidenote: please don't create external links to outside sites like Radio New Zealand, please instead use wikilinks, typing [[Radio New Zealand]], which creates a link like to: Radio New Zealand.
I'm not a music-bio expert, so I can't speak directly to whether Paine (you) assuredly meets WP:Notability, but the above is my general input. If you'd like to get a wider body of specific advice, please visit the mentor forum at WP:Teahouse. Good luck!

Hello Matthew, Thank you very much for your further advice which is most helpful. I will try again and see what happens when my 'claims to fame' have proper footnotes and seek further advice via the mentor forum.
Bruce
Thank you for taking the time to review the draft article for Sparks@LSE.
I've reviewed the reasons for declining the article, and in particular paid attention to:
What you can do: Add citations (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners) to secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject.
I've therefore added half a dozen references from 3rd party, independent sources.
I also reviewed the guidelines around notability, the 'golden rule' and the use of sources. I therefore avoided listing sources from social media.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Many thanks,
Wikib100

Hello Wikib100, for the sake of getting more eyes-on, I'll defer to another reviewer to conduct the next view, but adding cites to 3rd party sources is definitely a step forward. Apologies for the length of time it may take to get the next review (we have rather a backlog), but with time things get ironed out.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Hi Matthew, I see you declined my submission. I was not trying to create a new page, I was trying to add my contribution to an existing E-learning or iTunes page. I wasn't quite sure how to do it. Thank you though for your suggestions!

Thanks very much for your comments and advice. Maybe you can answer a couple of more questions. I have a hard time finding the pages for drafts and have gotten to them in circuitous ways that I can never recreate. Can you tell me how I get to a draft page? I've been drafting articles on my own pc more often than in the sandbox.
Also, how can I find entries I've submitted and make edits, such as the ones you suggested?
I find it all a little difficult to navigate.
Thanks very much for your help.

No worries, it can get a little confusing.
Generally speaking, you can create any subfolders of your main userpage you want, like you could type or click User:KXF/Blue lemonade draft and just start working on things there. There are a couple ways to publish directly there or (as we recommend until you really get the hang of things) you can submit it for review at Articles for Creation. All your options are spelled out here, so you may want to copy this useful link to your userpage for future reference: Wikipedia:So you made a userspace draft.
If you can't remember where you left something you were recently working on, there's a button called "My Changes" at the very top of your Wikipedia screen, clicking that shows you your entire history of edits, line by line, so you can recall things you were working on earlier.
Hope this helps! For more detailed answers, visit WP:Teahouse to speak to volunteer mentors.

Hi Matt
Many thanks for your advice on my article submission. I've had a go at making the revisions you suggested and resubmitted - looking forward to receiving your further input.

Sam, looks pretty strong overall, though as always I prefer another reviewer get eyes-on following mine. A suggestion while you're waiting: the footnotes are much better-chosen, but the format is a little sparse. If you get a moment, can you try to ensure that footnotes are fleshed out to include all the details? Note there's a "Cite" button at the top of your editing screen which has ready-made templates easily filled out, like so: <ref>{{cite news|last1=Smith|first1=John|title=Thinking about Theatre|url=www.google.com|accessdate=4 June 2014|agency=The Globe Int'l|issue=xvi|date=1 April 2001}}</ref> This also helps avoid WP:Linkrot, which is what occurs when a URL shifts. The more details in the footnote itself, the better the odds a seeker can find where the article got to. All good?

Cool, looking better. You have a few cites though that are confusing because they don't give the reader any idea of the title of the cited article: Picard, Anna (7th April 2014). The Times.; Evans, Rian (June 2014). Opera.; Smith, Mike (4th April 2014). Western Mail. Please try to clarify those footnotes, and we should be pretty close to done.
After the article publishes, note under WP:Fair use you can add one image of an official poster of the opera (or cover of the published script, or whatever) to the article. Not using Wikimedia Commons, but using the "Upload file" menu item on the far left column of your Wikipedia screen, and ensuring you select "Copyrighted work, official poster, etc." We can have on small, low res item (like the file shouldn't be much larger than how it will actually appear on the page, not high-res) for the purpose of illustrating just the article about the opera itself. Any other/further use would be a copyright violation, but one small, specific image of the official "public face" (poster, etc) of the work in question is allowed, after the draft publishes. Check in with WP:Teahouse if you get confused at that stage; photo licensing on WP takes getting used to, but easy after that.
