June 4[edit]
OTRS received permission related to Chicago White Metal Casting Inc. I was informed that the page was: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chicago White Metal Casting Inc, but I don't see any such page. Does anyone remember working on this? If it was deleted for copyright reasons, it can be restored, and I'll add the permission.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 13:40, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- It's probably Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chicago White Metal Casting Inc., which was declined for reasons unrelated to copyright. Huon (talk) 13:53, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 14:16, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
First, thank you Houn and others for helping get my article into acceptable form. Now that my article has been accepted I some some more questions:
• My article does not appear when I google H. J. High Construction. Is this perhaps an SEO problem with H. J. High?
• I believe I pasted {{Infobox company}} into my article listing the company name/industry/year founded and so forth. However, I don't see this information in my article. Do I need to re-enter this information?
• I believe I included an external link to H. J. High's website, but I don't see that in my article. Do I need to re-enter this information?
Again, thanks for your help in guiding me through the process of getting this article posted.

- Firstly, I have no idea why Google does not show the article; usually it displays Wikipedia articles very prominently. Maybe it simply needs more time.
- I have no idea what happened to the infobox and the external link; maybe they were among the edits that didn't get saved? The entirety of your edits to the article after May 25 is this; it does not show those you asked about.
- Finally, this is the wrong venue for general editing questions once the article has been accepted. Please use the general help desk or ask me at my talk page. Huon (talk) 18:40, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
Regarding the submission for Articles for creation/Tracey Corderoy
Thank you for your comments.
A previous reviewer thought that...
"The book prize from Hillingdon might be helpful in support of a claim to notability but it is not enough on its own. What is needed here is evidence from independent reviews in national magazines, etc"
This has now been supplemented by the recent review #5 "Set to become a new childrens classic", Lancashire Evening Post, you mentioned by the reviewer.
When this is combined with the recent news that Corderoy has been shortlisted again for the Hillingdon Picture book prize (a non commercial independent prize) and now the #8 2012 Independent Booksellers Week Award prize, I would have thought the requirement requested has been met?
Do you accept reviews from independent book review bloggers?
Regards

- Independent book review bloggers ususally do not have the "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" that we require of reliable sources. They probably do not come with any editorial oversight. Many other sources in the draft, except the Lancashire Evening Post, are primary sources and cannot be used to establish notability. This includes the Independent Booksellers Week and Hillingdon reporting on their own awards. My advice would be to find secondary coverage of those awards. Huon (talk) 18:40, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
