Template:Gabrielle Aplin has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Gongshow Talk 02:49, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
The article Home (Gabrielle Aplin EP) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. | Uncle Milty | talk | 22:07, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
Before you realize what I'm doing, and then talk to me on my talk page, since I see you're doing the job of rejecting a lot of these submissions, I thought I'd talk to you directly about what I'm doing. Essentially, I'm trying to get these marked "rejected" so they can be eligible for ((db-g13)) in the future. However, I realize that this is causing an additional workload in the WP:AFC queue, so I was wondering if there is a quicker way to get this marked. And if not, if you see any more submissions by me, no need to send me that notification template: unfortunately, I'm not a good judge (yet) if these are good articles to be used on Wikipedia or not, but am trying to learn as I'm doing this ... since I'm seeing there's a lot of these.

Hi, this edit caused some confusion to the person trying to submit the article. Please could you explain what the purpose of it was? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 19:32, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Wikipedia doesn't do infinite loops. As I mentioned briefly above, according to WP:BRD: The creator submits it. A editor removes the tag (bold). The creator resubmits the article by adding the yellow tag (revert). A discussion takes place (as it has) determining that it was the grey tag that needed to go and so (as had happened since before I replied to your first message) the grey tag is removed leaving the yellow one behind leaving a submission free of contradiction. Why would I "delete the submit tag again" once the grey one is gone? Charon123able (talk) 18:23, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Hiya Charon123able,
We recently updated an AfC on Nick Grey, the famous British inventor and man behind Gtech - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Nick_Grey.
An initial AfC, written in October, was declined - due to a lack of citations. We've since resubmitted the AfC, with lots of citations from national UK media.
I had flagged the article as a resubmission and had asked the original declining editor to relook at the page. The last declining editor has deleted his profile, however - but I saw you had been on the page on Friday.
That said, all I could see in the AfC history was this: (cur | prev) 02:18, 12 April 2013 Charon123able (talk | contribs) . . (11,259 bytes) (-57) . . (Submission declined on 20 October 2012 by Gwickwire, remove pending tag) (undo)
...which has confused me somewhat...
It says "remove pending tag": not sure what this pertains to.
Obviously if things need adding/clarifying, the sooner I can do this, the better!
Any help very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Ali

This is your final warning. Please stop removing submit templates from any AfC submission that is not yours. When people follow instructions to (re)submit (and especially if it was previously declined), it adds it to the bottom of the page, and it gets cleaned up later by either a bot or reviewer. If you continue to remove submission templates, I will ask for you to be blocked from editing. gwickwiretalkediting 18:17, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
There is a "gadget" called the "Yet Another AFC Helper Script" that makes most AFC chores somewhat automatic. You can read more about it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions and the links that this page refers you to.
By the way, if there are two or more seemingly-conflicting AFC submission templates, the next time someone does something with the script, the conflicts will be "cleaned up." The script even has the option to "just clean" a submission. Cleaning a submission involves bringing AFC submission templates that are at the bottom "up" to above the submitted article, removing older "draft" templates if there is a newer "submission" template, and possibly other things that I'm not aware of.
With the possible exception of tweaking the text in a "declined" "afc submission" template which you wrote or text in an "afc comment" which you wrote, please avoid manually editing "afc submission" and "afc comment" templates until you have a firmer grasp of how they work and how they interact with the scripts. Please DO continue reviewing articles and, if you have the interest, take the time to study how these templates and scripts inter-operate. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 20:42, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
