April 19[edit]

What happened to my submission? I responded to deficiencies by adding references both in text and at end of article . Now when I try to read or edit only the "Early Life " appears. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nadialebon (talkcontribs) 00:58, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that you forgot to close the ref tag. Fixed. Zach Vega (talk) 01:57, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Is there any way to move the Reference section to the bottom of the article? I set up new sections below it by mistake and when I cut & paste the text to the bottom of the article, it reverts back to the middle of the sections.

Thankyou. BSTShibuya (talk) 03:31, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The reference section appears to appear where you want it to. Are appearances deceiving? Dalisays (talk) 20:31, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that Articles for creation are severely backlogged. Does this mean that it is going to take weeks, maybe months, before I find out whether my aricle has been accepted or not? That would be utterly agonizing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.153.59.45 (talk) 09:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You might have to agonize a bit longer; the article has been rejected as of now. The sources were not independent from the subject and did not provide meaningful coverage. The obituaries provided via the subject's nursing home that are identified as sources are presumably generated by proxy of the subject by her survivors so they are not independent, and regardless they really don't provide any meaningful coverage. Update the article with some independent sources that do provide coverage and resubmit. Dalisays (talk) 20:35, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have made changes to my article and added more references. Please let me know what else I need to do to get it accepted. Sri pusuluri (talk) 14:27, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Discussing on user's talk page. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 14:45, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In order to submit a requested article, should it be left blank or should I add some information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 00AgentBond93 (talkcontribs) 20:24, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is Articles for creation, where editors submit articles with content for creation. If you have no information, try requested articles. If you do have information, by all means add it to the article. A412 (TalkC) 22:40, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
