Hi there,
Just trying to see what I am doing wrong in the College of Pilots wiki article.
Any recommendations would be great ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.23.188.125 ( talk) 23:54, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Why my page declined after many days ,but others accepted without real sources in few days instead i includ all sources ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belmadani Elmadani ( talk • contribs) 08:42, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Please be logical , is not an article of me written by myself ,the artist is very busy doesn't time to write it and i'm looking for his page here ,more anyone can't write on wikipedia by himself because there are references written by editors,Ok ,i'll correct references like you advice , then i'll see .Thank you ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belmadani Elmadani ( talk • contribs) 16:49, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi again
Thank you for your help so far. As suggested, we will work on the edits over the next few days and resubmit. This article is to be the forerunner of a small book I am writing. Best wishes Lyn Watts
Hi Article was declined as was not referenced. I added references and think I hit resubmit button but now I cannot access the article at all - it seems to have vanished! Where did it go and did I, in fact, resubmit? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lyn Watts ( talk • contribs) 09:47, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Dear MatthewVanitas,
I looked at the criteria for school notability, and I believe that East Sheen Primary School does warrant its own page on Wikipedia.
As it says on the criteria for schools: For elementary/primary and middle schools, reliable secondary sources are usually too limited for notability. An exception is made for schools having a specific, notable distinction or status (e.g., the Blue Ribbon Schools Program in the U.S. and Beacon School, Training school, or 'Grade 1' outstanding Office for Standards in Education overall assessment in the UK).
East Sheen Primary is indeed rated Grade 1 (outstanding) OFSTED. I have edited the page to make this clear, and have added links to media coverage of the school.

Thanks for your help with adding internal Wiki Links, they all seem to be working fine now, but how do I get them to open in a new page?-- Lincolnspencer ( talk) 22:38, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Hey User:MatthewVanitas ,thanks for all the support you have been giving me in developing the article Gopichand Lagadapati and also helping me in learning how to write a good article.You are just like a good teacher who we can't stop thinking for making us learn from our mistakes.Regarding your suggestion to delete revisions in article i copy pasted ## db-self ## as you have mentioned. I have copy pasted the code in most of the articles which i thought i don't need them. I realized later wiki article is using the draft where i pasted the code to be a current version.So i selected last 4 versions of the edits & saved them .I liked your edit and really wanted to be shown in the main article section and unfortunately the name got replaced as i saved your draft and i don't want it to happen ..I want the credit to be in your name for giving the best edit and suggestion..How do i undo to get your name in history revision..Really i want my readers to know how you have contributed.Please consider my request and make a change as i want every reader to know your contribution.Happened by mistake and am really sorry.Thanks for your contribution..Your are my master and i salute you...Love and peace Rock.C.Mathew — Preceding unsigned comment added by Astrangers heart ( talk • contribs) 02:48, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi there,
I was looking for some guidance on where I could improve my article, and perhaps why it was not being allowed. I am quite new to the whole process and could use some help. The article was The College of Professional Pilots of Canada( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_College_of_Professional_Pilots_of_Canada)
Thanks,

Hello MatthewVanitas ,
I fixed errors and there is footnotes "references" why it's declined by another editor ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belmadani Elmadani ( talk • contribs) 18:39, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
MatthewVanitas ( talk) 03:32, 14 October 2013 (UTC)Matthew, I'm unsure why our page was denied. We added references as you requested. Our magazine's board members are still listed, though. Is there anything in particular that we are doing incorrectly? There are several Alabama Heritage authors on Wikipedia and it would be nice to have their references linked back to our page so folks know what our magazine is. Thanks for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reyno031 ( talk • contribs) 14:00, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
i just wanna say thanks for the great job, thanks in a million, secondly i will like you to take a good look to the article.... finally i think is time to submit .. i am done with it... thanks ... Akochanwata ( talk) 14:40, 14 October 2013 (UTC) |
Why did you do this move to aggregative games instead of moving it to the singular aggregative game? Using an inappropriate title makes it necessary for others not only to move the article again later but then to fix the links to the article. Michael Hardy ( talk) 16:28, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

SIR, I understand all the requirements given to me in order for my post to be given maximum attention. i have not rested in my effort to research books,and other information sources but i am unable to get my source fact from any publication. if there was a secret information about kirikiri town which i write on, i would have gotten it from the Nigerian government. the government knows about kirikiri town because of the Nigerian prison and the Nigerian ports authority situated,aside from that sir, they have no information concerning kirikiri town. my only reference are the newspapers because they have one or two stories concerning kirikiri town. That could buttress my claim that kirikir town exists and from all indications, i am the first major person to do this kind of write up concerning kirikiri town. thank you sir. please look into this serious issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fedricx ( talk • contribs) 07:43, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Matthew,
I recently submitted an article on “Primier Pizza” (now titled Premier Pizza 2) for review to be published on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, my submission was declined by yourself due to there already existing a page with a similar or same title. I was referred to the following link, in order that I could request additions and edits to the page, or otherwise contact its author.
Upon following the link I found that the previously existing article had been deleted by User:Sphilbrick due to the page being "abandoned" (I have since submitted my content to the abandoned page). Before doing this however, due to my wiki naivety and because the original page had been deleted, I simply fixed the coding issues and resubmitted my article "Premier Pizza (2)" for review, per available instructions. So I now have the same article pending review under the abandoned page "Premier Pizza" as well as the duplicate (my original submission) now titled "Premier Pizza 2".
As a new user this is a rather confusing situation to be in and I was wondering if there are any other (preferably expedited) resubmission or appeal processes I should be considering, or if there are any other potential issues which may impede the publication of this article (i.e. should I delete one of the submissions, fix anymore coding etc...).
Any help or advice you would be willing to offer would be greatly appreciated.
Best, Tyler Scott
P.S. I will also be sending a copy of this contact to User:Sphilbrick in hopes he may have some insight as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyler.tw. ( talk • contribs) 18:35, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi Matthew,
I understand you will be on vacation until December, I just wanted to consolidate some things for you to hopefully make the publication process easier on both of us. In addition to the editing I've done on the page here is the correspondence I have had with User:Sphilbrick in your absence (I realize you have been mentioned in it, so that this must be in your inbox. However, I find redundancy to be a good safety net.)
Greetings!
I recently ran into some interesting issues when attempting to post my first wikipedia article and was hoping you had some insights to share or advice to give. My article was declined due to it being a duplicate of a declined page you subsequently deleted for abandonment. I have since resubmitted my article under my original page as well as the page you deleted (I resubmitted the former before understanding the abandoned status of the latter) I believe this move may have confused the resubmission process or otherwise been a wikipedia faux pas.
I would greatly appreciate any help you would be willing to give. for more information and links to the pages in question please see the following correspondence I submitted to User:MatthewVanitas
Thanks! Tyler Scott

Here's what the sequence looks like to me:
The new version has more refs. I haven't looked closely at either, but suspect it is not yet ready for prime time. I think the best thing to do is:
I urge Tyler.tw. to ask for advice at Wikipedia:Teahouse, as it is unlikely to survive without some work.

I had submitted an article on Anne Noggle a couple of years ago that was rejected because I had quoted from an unpublished source. I notice that WP now has an entry on Anne that is incomplete. Please direct me to where I can find out about editing the existing article. Thanks for the email that prompted me to think about the entry on Anne again.

hey Matthew, You recently reviewed my article "Olympic Taekwondo" and declined. You wrote that there was already an article with the same title, but when I clicked on the Link to the article that was supposed to be the existing one it lead me to my article on an other page for creation that already got deleted. So there is no other article with the same title or subject. Do I just resubmit? I'm afraid it will get deleted again. Nelelemke ( talk) 05:30, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Matthew Vanitas -- Thanks for reviewing my submitted page on Ramon Ricker. I'd like to make some edits so that the page will meet Wikipedia's standards. I understand the page's problems have to do with footnoting. Can you give me one or two examples from the draft text that need to be footnoted? Then I could go through and either remove those sections or add the appropriate footnotes.
