to bring the format up to Knowledge standards, and you need to meet Notability by providing footnotes to reliable, vetted sources (online newspapers, major music industry websites, reviews, books, etc.). Until then the article can't go live; if it does, it'll meet Speedy Deletion criteria for "band with no Notability evidenced" and disappear. Feel free to post back here for discussion or further questions; you don't need to start a new RfF unless many days have gone by.
811:(also worth reading), you have to have at bare minimum two sources from mainstream books, news articles, etc. which are unaffiliated with the subject but discuss it. If you can find, say, an LA Times article discussing the planned event, that would work. Not press releases, not fansites, not forums, blogs, Facebook, etc. Please read the two main policies linked, and that'll give you a feel for what has to change for your article to publish. 438:? Further, all your footnotes thus far are government sources; try and find a few uninvolved/neutral descriptions of the program, its pros and cons, etc. in academic or news publications online (check GoogleBooks as well). Finally, your intro needs to make the where/when more explicit, as it isn't until the end of the sentence that a reader sees this is for the UK (and don't abbreviate "UK" in articles ;) ). Fix those and you should be set. 253:. It's a not a judgement of how good/interesting a film is, it's whether established sources have written about it. Fortunately, you appear to meet the latter, with a Guardian review and an article at what appears to be a reputable online film magazine. Fix the categories, and then I'd say you're clear to publish. Note that you can also upload 131: 606: 310:. Monkey News, 14 April 2011" with a clickable blue link, but the original link will still be visible in editing so it won't get lost. Looks a lot cleaner, no? Also you need to add Categories, but while the page is in draft form make sure to disarm your categories by adding a colon after the intial brackets: ]. Read 613:
Not ready for publication yet. The format is quite far from Knowledge format; take a glance at a few other well-established articles, note how WP articles have a "lede" (intro), are divided into sections, etc. It's a good practice to look at another article and hit "Edit" just to see how they coded

for guidelines. Your footnoting is also off: first off, you don't footnote other Knowledge articles, you just put double-brackets around them to create an internal link. Secondly, MySpace, YouTube, etc. aren't footnotable since they're user-generated content which doesn't go through any vetting;

The article is nowhere near to being rendered in neutral, objetive prose. For example: "Tradesmen contribute so meaningfully to our lives in so many ways. From building our homes, schools, and churches; to keeping our cars running; to keeping our lights on and keeping us warm; to fixing our leaky

I just reviewed it from the format side; just needed a category and some minor format tweaks. I say you're good to go and move it out of drafting into the article space; or let me know to do it for you if you don't know how. I see you tried unsuccessfully to add images; maybe check out
