Your submission at Articles for creation: Elope inc (June 3)[edit]

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft reads promotionally. No particular examples are given of promotional language, because the article needs a complete rework for language. Also, there is serious overlinking to ordinary English words such as business and employees.

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:Elope inc and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Question[edit]

Are you associated with elope, Inc.? If so, please read the conflict of interest policy and make the required disclosure, and, if necessary, the paid editing disclosure. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:22, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies for not answering this one sooner. As I mentioned below, I'm not affiliated with the corporation. Omnitaus (talk) 22:15, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AFC[edit]

Please do not remove AFC declines and comments from an article in AFC. Maybe you didn't notice that there are small instructions saying not to remove that material. It is removed by a script when the article is accepted. Maybe you didn't know. Now you do. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:01, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did not notice that, thank you for the explanation and patience. It won't happen again! Omnitaus (talk) 20:17, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are you associated with Elope Inc.? If so, please make the required disclosures. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:01, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Elope (business) (June 17)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The tone and content of the article do not strike me as encyclopedic. Similarly, the content of the sources given do not firmly establish notability.

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:Elope (business) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Date format[edit]

You asked on IRC about the preferred date format for references. Generally I'd go with either "January 15, 1900" or "15 January 1900", depending on what's the predominant format currently used or on the geographic relevance (British articles get "day month year", American ones get "month day, year"). The ISO format of "1900-01-15" is also acceptable. What I would advise against due to possible ambiguity is shortening the year to two digits; would 12-11-10 be November 10, 2012, November 12, 2010 or something else, maybe December 11, 2010? Huon (talk) 20:19, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, I will stick to the "January 15, 1900" format! Omnitaus (talk) 20:29, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
