User talk:Joe Gazz84/RVV Noticeboard

I'm writing about Stock Market Data Systems. I'm not complaining. It's just that I'm new to this and don't understand:

What is the copyright violation? I wrote this myself, and didn't copy/paste anything ???

With regard to references, the ones I know about are the numbered footnotes. I couldn't figure out how to do them. Maybe if you could give me an example: this here ² , <reference> 2. http://www gizmo.com <reference> And/or maybe there's another reference problem? Not all the See Also references work, though all are articles in Wikipedia. ???

Formatting questions. One is, I suppose, the one I mentioned above--the inline reference. What other are there?

Sorry to be troublesome. I'm just finding it difficult to do this properly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MontyPh (talk • contribs) 20:56, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

WP:AFC/R

I submitted a request earlier today for a redirect for SDHLV (and HCHLV). You declined the request giving the reason, "Pages should be named with full name, not with abbreviations. Abbreviations are Okay in the article however NOT in page names." However, when I went into the "New Redirect Request" wizard, one of the foremost "Reasons to use a redirect include: Common abbreviations", for example, "DSM-IV redirects to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders". Please reconcile for me, if you can, those two statements so I understand what I was supposed to do here... 216.240.6.214 (talk) 05:25, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

I was just comming to comment about this. Joe, abbreviations are perfectly valid for use in redirects if they are a valid abbreviation.

IP 216* - I still denied that request because I couldn't see them as valid abbreviations in the document you posted. - Happysailor 16:30, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Google Search for "SDHLV"

TheFreeDictionary.com reference for SDHLV "SDHLV - Shuttle-Derived Heavy-Lift Vehicle"

Google search for "SD HLV" (space inserted) Note that the first returned result is the page I'm trying to get referenced under these acronyms...

Obviously I could add more links from either of those searches, but I would HOPE that the number of hits (and resultant, clear indication that the acronym is widely used in the related field) would more than confirm the validity of the request. Seriously, when I submitted it, I thought this request would have been a "no-brainer" for approval. Especially since there isn't an existing page for "SDHLV" in the Wiki at present (so there'd be no concern regarding disambiguation/conflict/confusion etc). I even opted NOT to request a redirect for "HLV", which is an acronym that IS referenced in the article and the supporting material (and elsewhere) as that acronym already references another subject and I sought to avoid the hassle of explaining/justifying a disambig page... 64.201.173.205 (talk) 16:53, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Population_Impact_Measures. You have my article on hold, and have commented that my references are incorrect. I would point out that I have three types of links: First are the references which appear OK to me; second are two links to other Wikipedia pages - which also seem OK to me, and third are links to some calculation tools which are better in the text than as references. Many thanks. (DickHeller (talk) 04:16, 17 October 2010 (UTC))

Concerning your AfC review

Dear Mr Gazz,

First, it surprises me that you have the legitimacy to ban edits for a month, however, that is beside the main issue and maybe it is reasonable to believe that you have earned that kind of authority through your sincere dedication here at Wikipedia.

For every AfC review I have attempted to address each issue they question. I am curious to whether you have bothered to look at the latest addition of sources at all? Allow me to cite:

Reuters: "...noted percussionist Jimmy Bralower..."

NY Daily News: "...noted producer Jimmy Bralower..."

New Straits Times: "Jimmy Bralower... [has] never been so highly in demand..."

CBS News: "...veteran percussionist Jimmy Bralower..."

JournalLive: "Jimmy Bralower, who has worked with... Madonna and Britney Spears"

When a global news agency (i.e. Reuters) states that a person is a noted percussionist, how could you objectively reject that view?

I am puzzled.

Kind regards,
