Your draft isn't a complete sentence, and it isn't clear whether it is meant to be a draft article or a test edit. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:56, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Your submission is blank. Did you submit it for review by accident before entering anything? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:15, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

17:57:13, 17 September 2016 review of submission by DJViking

[edit source]

This article submission was previously declined because lack of sources. For most of these games there is no offical source that outright say specific that it is developed with OpenGL support.

That does not mean it does not belong in the list. Games that is released on Linux are OpenGL. It is as simple as that.

Some of the games I have taken from another Wiki page that lists OpenGL programs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_OpenGL_programs I cannot see that they EITHER has ANY source.

One source could be what engine is used. Game engine that are OpenGL are id Tech, CryEngine, Unreal Engine, Unity, Unigine Engine. Cannot the source be another Wiki page? I have found pages on Game engine mentioning both Linux and OpenGL.

Also: How did all the other lists manange to get submitted without sources. List of games for DirectX.

See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Also, Wikipedia cannot be used as a source. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:18, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

My article has been rejected due to an acclaimed lack of notability, yet I believe a simple objective viewing of the given information would prove the contrary. Credico's size, 400 subcontractors in 19 countries, and controversy, 1000 opt-in class action, surpass that of the Cobra Group, a very similar direct marketing group which achieved approval. If I can any way express its notability in a greater way, please inform me, but in terms of notability, I firmly believe it is far from sufficient at this point.

There appears to be a typographical error in this comment. "I firmly believe it is far from sufficient at this point" would mean that the article is far from sufficient. If so, why did you resubmit it? Resubmitting a draft as is without waiting for comments can be seen as gaming the system, trying to find an easier reviewer. Also, read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If you think that the other direct marketing group should not have an article, you are free to nominate it for deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:52, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Request on 20:28:26, 17 September 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Rroneice

[edit source]

I am requesting help because I research other Wikipedia pages of artists that worked on some of the same projects this artist worked on. His name is listed as part of the album, but his name is not highlighted in blue. The last time the page was rejected was because of sources and many of the sources were direct links to other Wikipedia pages. I am going to paste a copy of the submission along with references to get help on.

None of your references are in the form of footnotes. Do not use Wikipedia as a reference; use it as a link or a See Also. See WP:Markup on how to mark up sections and improve the formatting of your draft. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:51, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
