help request

I've just finished editing my article on the pianist "Adam Swanson" and attempted to submit it for review and publication. There was no SUBMIT button showing, so I added "

Review waiting, please be patient.

This may take 4 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 2,714 pending submissions waiting for review.

If the submission is accepted, then this page will be moved into the article space.
If the submission is declined, then the reason will be posted here.
In the meantime, you can continue to improve this submission by editing normally.

Where to get help

If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.

How to improve a draft

Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia – a basic overview on how to edit Wikipedia.
Help:Wikitext – how to use the markup
Help:Referencing for beginners – how to include references
Wikipedia:Article development – how to develop your article
Wikipedia:Writing better articles – how to improve your article
Wikipedia:Verifiability – make sure your article includes reliable third-party sources

You can also browse Wikipedia:Featured articles and Wikipedia:Good articles to find examples of Wikipedia's best writing on topics similar to your proposed article.

Improving your odds of a speedy review

To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.

" to the top of the draft. I hope I did this correctly and the article will now be cued up for review. Thanks! ~~

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I hope someone can change the title of this article on a living artist from "Adam G. Swanson" to "Adam Swanson" or tell me how to. I can't seem to figure that out. Thanks!

(Oh, do note that I've already submitted it for approval.Hope that doesn't complicate the name change!) — Preceding unsigned comment added by LaurieNorton1 (talk • contribs) 03:20, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not to worry. When the reviewer accepts the draft, they will assign an appropriate name for the article following Wikipedia's standard naming conventions. There's no need for you to do anything about the name at present. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply, jmcgnh. I noticed the message referred to my question as "unsigned." I guess that's because I didn't type four tildes somewhere, but it seems very strange that it would be identified as unsigned when it specifically states who I am(LaurieNorton1). (I hope you get this message. I don't see how to email/message you except to write here. In any case, there's no need for you to reply to this...)

Yes, the {{xsign}} template includes that little dig at your omission as part of an effort to remind people to sign their postings on talk pages, including on their own talk page.

As for notifying me, I watch pages I recently made posts to, so not to worry. But if you want to get the attention of a specific editor, there's a {{reply|username}} template that works for that, along with its friend {{ping|username}}. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:54, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Adam Swanson (September 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Kvng was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Evidence of notability is marginal. There's a WP:PROMOTIONAL tone with WP:PEACOCK. This may get deleted if accepted without improvement. Removing unessential content is the quickest fix (see WP:STUBIFY).

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Adam Swanson and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Adam Swanson, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, LaurieNorton1! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Concern regarding Draft:Adam Swanson

Hello, LaurieNorton1. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Adam Swanson, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Bot0612 (talk) 05:34, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Adam Swanson

Hello, LaurieNorton1. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Adam Swanson".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:00, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
