Your British actress news
Let's make this very clear.
 * 1) As per the freshness policy; the whole writing-reviewing process should finish within 3 calendar days. The video link in the source says that it was uploaded on January 15. And I remember, that time, review queue was empty. You can't say that it was not long enough...It has been ten days.End of discussion
 * 2) As per your summary it is not an advertisement as the actress is already famous. Like seriously? We were saying that the article advertises that book.
 * 3) Moreover, famous-British-actress doesn't have a name? Famous enough?
 * 4) And doesn't famous people do advertisements?
 * 5) There is copyright infringement. The video is from facebook and the image is from Amazon.com.
 * 6) Style guide is not followed and article does not have minimal length 14.139.242.195 (talk) 08:43, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Copyright infringement
Even if there is no explicit copyright message on a page, you cannot cut and paste from it. Thus, your submission - which contains verbatim text from a 3rd party site - is a copyright infringement; even if such is unintentional, or unwitting.

In any case, the story is not recent enough to qualify as news. It is also written as an editorial piece (or, advertorial, if you are familiar with the term). Neither are accepted for publication on Wikinews. If you are responsible for, or have a close association, with any of the sites or publications mentioned then you may not have committed copyright infringement. However, that would mean you have a serious conflict of interest which you should have clearly stated on the article's discussion page. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:42, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Isn't the story recent enough? It happened not too long ago. And is an advertorial because I am speaking about an actress? I don't see why it would be considered advertising if an actress does not really need advertising if she's already famous. It just doesn't make any sense to me. Please review the article and make corrections if possible - Elena Mars
 * Criteria for stale/freshness are covered in the guidelines on newsworthiness
 * The format/layout for an article suitable for submission for review are covered in this essay. It summarises a significant amount of detail found in the Style guide.
 * Copyright violation is viewed extremely seriously on-project, as is the possibility of an undeclared conflict of interest.
 * If you continue to simply revert changes which follow policy, and make no effort to have your submission conform to project policy (detailed in the links provided by the above Welcome message), such may be construed as disruption and result in a block. Please try to avoid such conflict, and make an effort to familiarise yourself with the project's rules. --Brian McNeil / talk 13:55, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
