Robertpludra - Hmm, the reviewers really weren't very clear here. On a really basic level; wikipedia articles are based on subjects which are notable. Non-notable subjects, or near-notable subjects aren't suitible for inclsion. Some articles are obviously notable (Say Mathematics), whist others are really borderline. Notability is based on what relaible sources (Say the media) say about the subject, to pass the general notability guidelines. In the case of bands, there is also WP:NMUSIC; which boils down to having "multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself". You can read the full guidelines above.

Without reviewing the article in full, I couldn't tell you if the band is notable, but I'd want to see some notable references talking about the subject. I hope this helps. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:07, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I want to correct an article about Hainesport Township NJ. In the geography section it doesn't include all the neighborhoods that are in that town and actually have a fictitious one listed as well. It seems like it was rejected because I need to use a different template . Not sure which one being that I am not a computer person this is difficult. And I verified it by the Hainesport School Superintend's office and I am a life resident. It was rejected because the editor indicated I wasn't enough on my own to proof this information but nothing was indicated about the Hainesport Schools Superintend's Office . That can be easily verified . I received an Email from their office with this information before trying to correct these errors. Can someone can help me resolve these changes I would appreciate it.

Hi Purc311 - I think there's been a misunderstanding. As you are now an WP:AUTOCONFIRMED member, you can freely edit: the article. Where you have posted this is as a draft; and the helpdesk is for brand new articles. Hope that helps Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:56, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- P.S. I looked at the article. It seems like you edited a direct quotation. Even if the information is incorrect, wikipedia deals with quotes directly. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:58, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Quetta87300 (talk) 16:23, 4 May 2018 (UTC) Kindly suggest how my article is different (advertisement) than the following few examples in order to bring more changes please: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/University_of_Balochistan https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Command_and_Staff_College https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Al-Hamd_Islamic_University[reply]

Your guidance and support will be much appreciated.

Hi Quetta87300, Wikiwand is not Wikipedia, we have no interest in what they do. In any event comparing to other articles is pointless because they may also have problems. Rather just follow the guidance. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 21:19, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to add a table of symbols with explanations. The symbols are not unicode symbols, they are in the private unicode plane of musicXML. Is it ok to create a jpeg of the table?

MatthewDougherty (talk) 19:41, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MatthewDougherty PNG format is preferred because it scales without blurring, far better than jpeg, which is lossy. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 21:14, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Roger. I had to put the graphic into wikimedia first, doing it under wikipedia it was rejected not being a photo.

It seem tables are not allowed as images, must be pictures with a few exceptions. Any ideas how to proceed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MatthewDougherty (talk • contribs) 22:39, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MatthewDougherty. Take a look at how article SignWriting handles similar presentation issues. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:45, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is obvious the reviewer failed to take the time to read the article and simply cosigned the previous review of a version with 0 references. DGG claims that the company is still in the planning stages. However, this is simply false. It launched beta in March 2017, was open to the public as of November 2017, and currently has 2.5 million registered users.[1] I have provided several more sources establishing WP:GNG: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. If we need more: [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]... ShadesHeroGurly (talk) 22:41, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Of you have improved the article, just submit it again. Someone else will review it. I point out the NYTitem is just a paragraph in a more general orticle, amd that some of the other articles trike me as advertorials. DGG ( talk ) 07:16, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have made significant improvements to the page since its creation of the draft by another user. I am asking for a re-review of the page. There are more than enough sources showing clear notability.ShadesHeroGurly (talk) 20:57, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
