I have received a comment on my draft article page (just under the &amp;#039;review waiting&amp;#039; Yellow Box). Can I reply from the draft article page via the &amp;#039;talk&amp;#039; button. It is not clear how you send a reply back to the person who made the comment. I have replied via the Teahouse, but this separates the answer from the original comment.

:Hi [[User:David hewick|David hewick]]. Just as you have in your signature above, and I have in mine which you will see at the end of this post, the person who commented has a link to &amp;quot;talk&amp;quot; in his signature, which leads to his [[Help:Using talk pages|talk page]]. This is the most direct way to contact a specific user--when you do so, the person get a message that there is a post at their talk page, which you may have seen for yourself, when someone posted to yours. You could also post to the [[Draft talk:Margaret Dovaston|draft&amp;#039;s talk page]], but if you want the reviewer who posted to the draft to see it, then you should [[WP:NOTIFICATIONS|ping]] him there, by including a link to his username in your post, and make sure you sign your post (pinging will not work if you don&amp;#039;t successfully sign your post &amp;#039;&amp;#039;in the same edit&amp;#039;&amp;#039;; you will see how pings work because I&amp;#039;ve pinged you to this post). I understand you&amp;#039;re essentially asking abut responding back directly in the draft, but the reason I&amp;#039;ve gone through these methods is that we don&amp;#039;t generally do that—have a back and forth between reviewer and reviewee directly in the draft, though I doubt anyone would object greatly if you did.

&lt;br /&gt;
Dear wikipedia help desk. I am currently working on an article on my father the artist Gerhard Meling. I have a lot of references but am uncertain how this works. I am not at all proficient within this user interface. &lt;br /&gt;
Is there anyway the article can be edited by someone professional from your staff for a small fee? I would in this case be able to send/email references, together with some pictures we would like to insert at various places. &lt;br /&gt;
In the mean time i will be educating myself on how this is done, still i would appreciate all the help and info i can get on how to get references and how to verify source materiel. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:Hello {{u|Benmeling|Ben}}. I&amp;#039;m afraid you might have misunderstood how Wikipedia works. It is written and maintained entirely by volunteer editors. There are no staff and [[WP:PAID|paid editing]] is heavily frowned upon by the community. On a related note, our [[WP:COI|conflict of interest policy]] strongly discourages editors from writing about people or topics they have a personal connection to, because this compromises our [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]]. I think the best thing for you to do in this circumstance is to [[WP:RA|request an article]] about your father. You can provide any references you have with the request for a volunteer to use when creating the article. &amp;amp;ndash;&amp;amp;#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt; 20:03, 12 January 2017 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::The draft, written by the original poster, exists as [[Draft:Gerhard Meling]], so that [[WP:RA|Requested Articles]] isn&amp;#039;t necessary.  If a neutral editor decides to improve the draft, they can improve the draft.  The original draft was declined.

I am requesting guidance on how to revise the submission to meet the Wikipedia standards. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
thank you.&lt;br /&gt;
:Hello, Tdmjulie.  Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia.  Frankly, I don&amp;#039;t see how any revision of your submission is going to change the fact that this particular jewelry store probably does not meet Wikipedia&amp;#039;s notion of &amp;quot;notability&amp;quot;.  If you disagree, you will need to demonstrate that the store has been the subject of multiple instances of in-depth coverage from sources that are both reliable and independent of the subject.  And, they may not be limited to purely local sources or to sources that are of interest only to a limited audience.  There is more detail on these requirements at [[WP:COMPANY]].  I hope this response has been helpful.  [[User:NewYorkActuary|NewYorkActuary]] ([[User talk:NewYorkActuary|talk]]) 03:24, 13 January 2017 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear all,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After posting a new draft  for the website &amp;quot;the people&amp;#039;s cube&amp;quot;, the first reviewer of the draft SwisterTwister (although I of course appreciate his or her time in reviewing), did not really respond on questions about the validity and notability of these new sources. And now the new draft was tagged for &amp;quot;speedy deletion&amp;quot; by a rather avid opponent of the first version of the page dedicated to this topic (Exemplo347).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder if an unbiased reviewer could be requested to check on the notability and neutrality of the listed sources in my draft. If not, can someone help me in understanding what exactly is wrong with these sources? Once more, I appreciate the Wiki work of Exemplo an SwisterTwister, but maybe they missed something in their first review or that their decision is not based on political bias (and I hope, as a long time Wiki reader and very recent contributor this is not the case) .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kind regards and many thanks in advance,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Powderday|Powderday]] ([[User talk:Powderday|talk]]) 21:20, 12 January 2017 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

:What you&amp;#039;ve failed to mention here is that this draft is a recreation of an article deleted as the result of an Articles for Deletion discussion - [[WP:G4]] applies. Regards [[User:Exemplo347|Exemplo347]] ([[User talk:Exemplo347|talk]]) 21:26, 12 January 2017 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: Thanks for your efforts in reviewing. Apart from the fact that the WP:G4 does not apply to this draft, I think you will see the history and &amp;quot;media&amp;quot; sections have been thoroughly cleaned out to delete all double information and to smoothen the grammar. A significant number of new sources (notable, neutral, third party) have been provided as compared to the original draft. On the whole, I think this new topic page is more encyclopedic and relevant than the previous.

:Hi [[User:MinecraftKitty|MinecraftKitty]]. The reason it was declined is [[User talk:MinecraftKitty#Your submission at Articles for creation: All About Eleanor Roosevelt (January 12)|stated at your talk page]]. We already have an article on Eleanor Roosevelt, and a rather good one, at the title (aptly enough) [[Eleanor Roosevelt]]. We don&amp;#039;t create articles at title forms like: &amp;quot;All about SUBJECT&amp;quot; and when we do want alternate names for the same topic to work as search terms, we don&amp;#039;t duplicate the existing topic at the alternate title, but rather create [[WP:REDIRECT|redirects]] – but we would not do so for the title you used.
