Hello, I don’t know if I did but I may have blanked the review you had made of [[Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Holiday_Inn_Manila_Philippines|this article proposed for creation]] (I cannot find it anymore, that’s why; I am new to the reviewing process and its script, needless say). If I did so, accept my apologies and please tell me how to undo the process in case I can and need to. Hoping I didn’t cause too much wrong and anyway sorry for the trouble.

Quantile Framework for Mathematics-Article rejection
Hi,
My recent article has been reject now for the second time. I have made several edits, but the conclusion every time by the reviewer is that it sounds "too much like an advertisement."
Could you please help me to get this page approved, I would really appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Thank you for your help.

- Hi, CBianco84! Welcome to Wikipedia!
- I looked at your article, and my thoughts are this:
- We don't care how the process works, instead focus on the history of the process.
- Waaaaay too much detail. Wikipedia is an overview, not a thesis.
- The article will most likely go over the heads of most casual readers. Maybe "dumb" the article down a little?
- These are the thoughts off the top of my head. Feel free to ask for clarification at any time. ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 03:33, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
Ward Morehouse III

Matthew -- Thank you for your feedback. But, it puts me in a quandry. The articles and books were written by Mr. Morehouse, he is a newspaperman, reporter, playwright, and author. These reporting sources come from the archives of those newspaper publications delineated within his biography and establish that he did, indeed write for them, as his byline on those articles establish, along with the masthead and ability to cruise through the publication's web site to establish authenticity. How else can a reporter make a claim, at Wikipedia, of working for such publications as THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, etc., unless providing actual (in this case online versions) of articles he authored and was paid for by that employer? I don't know what else to do to verify his career that such places. Should I communicate with someone higher up in the Wikipedia organization about this?

- Ummm... in this case, "third party" trumps "playwrite" in this sense. We need sources not written by the author no matter what. The reasoning is outlined in our biographies of living persons policy.
- By the way, Wikipedia has no "higher ups", everything is done by volunteers like me. You're quite welcome to solicit opinions from other experienced editors. If you'd like, I can direct you to some I trust.
- And, for the last time, I'd like to ask you not to add a new section every time you reply. Please add your comments right below this comment. I'm having trouble following the conversation. ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 03:33, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
Stivemeister (talk) 21:06, 13 July 2012 (UTC)July 13, 2012 First off, I apologize for adding new sections. This isn't exactly the most user friendly site I've been at, but I think I've figured it out now. Can I replace the sources written by the author with search results within THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, et. al. listing articles written by Mr. Morehouse? In that way, it is a 3rd party (i.e., THE MONITOR) showing a listing of work within their archives done by their reporter Morehouse? Will that qualify?

- Yes, you did figure out the sections! Good job!
- Yes, articles in the Monitor work just fine, just as long as they're not written by Mr. Morehouse. ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 21:10, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
