Dancing with the Stars season 17 - New Voting Format section[edit]

Hi, I noticed that you copied and pasted a section of the Voting FAQ's from the official website in to the article. I have removed the section and condensed it into a few sentences and reworded it. It is now in the main lead text (before couples section). Thanks. --MSalmon (talk) 21:05, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I was getting frustrated that people kept taking it completely off. Originally I had added the voting numbers as well but when someone took that off I figured that was not necessary or whatever so I just put in the new format. I originally came to this page looking for info on the new format because I didn't understand why there was no results show and how they were going to eliminate people. I usually come to wiki first because it usually provides all the answers. When I came to the page all I got was this was the first season to not have a results show but nothing about the new format. Again thank you for helping to keep it on instead of taking it off completely! Much appreciated! --Tyadasm2006 (talk) 02:08, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Voting numbers should be posted --MSalmon (talk) 09:12, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

just FYI.. by voting numbers I mean the phone numbers you can call to vote for people. If I can post them I am not sure where to post it since when I posted them originally people kept taking them off. They should be on the voting faqs page of which I got the new format info. I can post all of the numbers if you'd like just tell me where and how. Should it be its own section or should it be added to a section? --Tyadasm2006 (talk) 06:01, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They shouldn't be posted anywhere at all, and they are right to remove them because they shouldn't be there in the first place--MSalmon (talk) 09:16, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: 40 (Stray Cats album) (May 28)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft does not appear to indicate which of the musical notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page which criterion is met, and resubmit.

This page appears to have been written to praise its subject rather than to describe the subject neutrally. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view. If this draft is resubmitted without being reworked, it may be nominated for deletion.

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.
