What's wrong exactly?

Dear Sir,

Why not show me how to fix the Alex Martinez article? I've never been technical and I'm lucky to have gotten this far.

All the links are real, there's even one to the Library of Congress.

This guy deserves a bio blurb on Wiki.

Can you help?

Thanks

Bill

Hello Graffitinucular, an easy example that I have made can be found here. For more "direct" help with your article, I would suggest going to the live help chat: #wikipedia-en-help (click the connect'-button). -(t) Josve05a (c) 15:41, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

hello. Ok, my prose needs improvement and I have to get the code right. For what it's worth, I do appreciate that it's not so easy to create an article here. I may have started off as riff-raff but now I know better... A question about Citations. What if there's no online link to articles published in newspapers and magazines? The best example is Graphotism Magazine, the Graffiti Bible since 1991, it went under almost 2 years ago. Would it suffice to simply cite the article's date info? There is a scan of the book review they did on the artist I'm trying to list and it lives here; http://publishing.yudu.com/Freedom/Abu1b/ArtistPortfolioAlexa/resources/40.htm is this sort of link acceptable on Wiki?

Then there are magazine articles such as Penthouse (Greek Version), which has no online link but is also scanned at this page; http://publishing.yudu.com/Freedom/Abu1b/ArtistPortfolioAlexa/resources/36.htm Any wisdom passed my way is greatly appreciated.

Graffitinucular (talk) 17:43, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello Graffitinucular it does not need to be online. You can cite published books, published journals...almost everything that is published, making sure that another user can dubble-check the source. It does not have to be aesy to dubble check it, but it should be possible. For information please look at the how-to video on the right. (t) Josve05a (c) 18:37, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks {{u| Josve05a I watched the video but will have to re watch it before I feel comfy enough to release a new article version. The Greek press is what I'm most confused about now. Alex is a big fish in a small pond down there but they don't archive much. Hopefully, I'll be able to piece it all together this weekend. By the by, have an excellent weekend yourself ;-)

Graffitinucular (talk) 19:05, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Graffitinucular, Have a great weekend you too. (t) Josve05a (c) 19:11, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Josve. Did some work this weekend and found two more instances of Alex's images getting nicked. This time by Getty Images Inc. The whole object of the exercise with the wiki article is to stop these jerks pretending he doesn't exist. One picture I loaded on Commons shows ad hoardings from a property company selling apartments and right in the middle is an image from Alex's mural. If you get some time, please do have a look in. I'm sure there are mistakes aplenty but this needs to be done if only for the sake of fair play.

Cheers Graffitinucular (talk) 09:48, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi again, the article is ready except perhaps the links. I believe I got them right but... Also, I removed the images. After all, I'm only a fan of the guy's work. Does this place my article at the end of the queue? There are over 1200 waiting.

Thanks Graffitinucular (talk) 08:14, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

There is no "queue". Some users reviews submissions at random, some will review them oldest first and ssome the the newest first. I for on e just pick some at random. (t) Josve05a (c) 10:02, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Aeroflot Flight 811

On 26 January 2014, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Aeroflot Flight 811, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that Larisa Savitskaya, the sole survivor of the Aeroflot Flight 811 accident, was warned by the KGB not to reveal the accident to the public? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aeroflot Flight 811. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Biography Amir Malik

For the article https://en.wikipedia.org/User:Afsheen_Saadat/sandbox, I have removed the links that were stacked for published articles. How should I present those links; as external links, footnotes or reference? Or should I not place them at all? Afsheen Saadat (talk) 05:41, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

You should include them as footnotes. To understand how to do that, please watch this video and read WP:REFEX. (t) Josve05a (c) 09:14, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Again, I have updated the links and placed them as Footnotes i.e.https://en.wikipedia.org/User:Afsheen_Saadat/sandbox . Could you please let me know if they are fine? Also let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done before I resubmit the article. Thanks.Afsheen Saadat (talk) 12:52, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

For me, the footnotes looks good, but I am not "so" involved with the article creation as much as some other users here on WIkipedia. If you need help with what can be improved, please ask at the Teahouse or in the live-help-chat #wikipedia-en-help (just press connect). (t) Josve05a (c) 13:30, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll resubmit the article now. I'll keep improving the article on an on going basis. Afsheen Saadat (talk) 04:54, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Your submission at AfC Andrew O'Brien (politician) was accepted

Hi, will removing the examples from the constanza page help with submission? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nacron (talk • contribs) 02:58, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

You might want to cite a few more sources to make sure that the article shows notability. You might also want to read Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions to make sure the article passes all criterions. (t) Josve05a (c) 08:17, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

The International Quarter

Hi Jose, I uploaded The International Quarter page on behalf of Lend Lease which you reviewed and advised it was not suitable for uploading. I am keen to find out how I can better the page. Are you able to advise on what was wrong, or upload the page on my behalf?

Kind regards, Alicia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alicia Ford (talk • contribs) 17:45, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

When I reviewd the article, the article in question was empty. If you need help with what can be improved, please ask at the Teahouse or in the live-help-chat #wikipedia-en-help (just press connect). (t) Josve05a (c) 17:51, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

(t) Josve05a (c) 00:30, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

What do I do if there has been a copyright issue on my article but the information was written originally by the company I represent? It looks as though the article on Ambassador Stuart Holliday took information from two websites when in fact those two sites got their information from the Meridan Internation Center's page on the Ambassador (http://www.meridian.org/meridian/our-leadership/item/69-stuart-holliday) which was written by us and therefore owned by us. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roberly2 (talk • contribs) 14:47, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Will your company place a notice on the original website releasing that content into the public domain. Bear in mind, that is basically the effect of posting something on Misplaced Pages. bd2412 T 16:02, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Outdated

Hiya, could you explain why you think The Simpsons: Tapped Out is out of date? Rcsprinter (discuss) @ 00:46, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

There have been 3-5 updates to the applications that is not listed under #Themed updates. The fact that EA have med $100 million net revenue since the game's release is outdated sice the source is from October and there have been multiple updates, drives and sales in-gae, wich has driven up the net revenue quite a bit etc. -(t) Josve05a (c) 01:51, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

I'll take a look at updating it then. I guess you're a player. Rcsprinter (message) @ 10:58, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
