Морков

This article „Морков“ is the Macedonian translation for the English article carrot. I don`t know, how to add this translation to the English version of the article. Could you help me?--Angelovska Aleksandra (talk) 00:17, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

• You don't "add it to the English version". Clearly you have not even looked at the Makedonski Wikipedia? The article mk:Морков already exists. Feel free to improve it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:53, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

I believe that the user is asking how to add the WP:Interlanguage link so that people can get from the English article to the Makedonski article, which you did (Angelovska, click that link to see how to do this in the future). The Carrot article is semi-protected, so adding it would have required an WP:Edit request, but normally it should be easy. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:02, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Морков

Thank you, but this is not my translation, I wanted to add my Macedonian translation, that corresponds to the English version of the article. Now I can`t find my translation for "Carrot". What should I do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angelovska Aleksandra (talk • contribs) 10:53, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

• Go to mk:Корисник:Angelovska Aleksandra/Морков where you will find your version. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:13, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank You!

Thanks so much for the suggestions, I think I did what you instructed.

Quick question -- Why am I not finding my new Wiki page when I search for it on google and/or Wikipedia.com? Do I need to do something to make it go live?

I don't want to close the page where I created it because last time I did, I could not ever find it again and had to make a whole new one.

Please help!

Previous Rfd – Homestead Book Company resurrected

I am here as you were part of a previously Rfd discussion HERE. Based on the comments on the Rfd, I believe that this article could have been saved if it was cited better and written more in Wikipedia styling and formatting (Wikified article HERE). I have made substantial improvements to the article and reposted it. As you part of the discussion for Rfd (either you nominated or took part in the Rfd discussion), I wanted to personally notify you. While this is not an official Rfc, I would appreciate any feedback that you may have. I have not notified the original creator of the article as it does not look like they have made any contributions on Wikipedia since the article was deleted. --Morning277 (talk) 18:40, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome message

Hi Thanks for the welcome, will do as requested re signature etc (didn't realize I was meant to do that).

Perhaps you can help ? I am having a problem getting the following link to work: TENS Protocol by Dr Deirdre Walsh (TENS Protocol by Dr Deirdre Walsh)

When I copy it from the original article/site and past it to word on my PC it works fine but when I past it in Wikipedia it comes up with " Firefox can't find the server at tens%20protocol%20by%20dr%20deirdre%20walsh.

I can copy and past it from Verity medicals site and it works, however I feel this would be putting in a bias as they sell TENS products.

I am tempted to remove it however feel it is important to the article as it is factual, has no bias and is the best freely available one written by professionals which explains the how and why of TENS.--Chrisandbev (talk) 07:26, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm Rich.Subtle. My real name is Richard Suttles.

I'm extremely new to all this and trying to figure things out. My instructor wanted us to build a Wikpedia page, and I noticed "Oculesics" redirected to "Eye Contact," and since our class is often on nonverbal communication I figured I'd take a stab at building an oculesics page, even though I'll clarify eye contact is a big part of the study and leave a link to that page.

I wasn't sure what you meant about verifying my signature or edit summaries. Tomorrow I'll try and take a closer look at the help page you gave me. I really appreciate this.

The article was deleted because it was an article about a club that did not credibly indicate the importance/significance of the subject. If you'd like the article back, you can ask Drmies to email it to you, or restore it in your userspace. And he did not say that Tag20 was not a sport, he said "tag20 rugby does not appear to be a notable sport". →Bmusician 11:55, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

hello

Hi SwisterTwister. Thank you for leaving a message on my Sandbox. To introduce myself, the page I'm working on is IUPAC Polymer Nomenclature. I'm (for my sins ;-) ) a member of the IUPAC Subcommittee on Polymer Terminology, and we've been working on a project for quite a few years now. I got a directive from on high up in the IUPAC board saying to try and get what we have produced so far on this project on to Wiki. I hope that it's useful! Thanks again, all the best, Roger.Rogerchiorns (talk) 07:45, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Question

Hi SwisterTwister, Thank you for my welcome to Wiki! I am a complete newbie, maybe you could help me with something? I sent the following message to another wiki user but I am unsure if they actually log in regularly.

"Hi Derek. I am new to wikipedia and signed up specifically to edit a page on Danny Bryant as it said "The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for music". I have made edits and think with the correct references etc it should be ok now. I noticed that you first flagged this a while ago. If the article is now ok, how does this notice get removed? Sorry if I am going about this the wrong way, I thought I would ask you as you were the one to flag it - newbie here! Many thanks."

You help would be greatly appreciated but as I said above, I am unsure if this is the correct way to go about enquiring!

Many thanks, --Mirrorballs (talk) 10:40, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Re: List of Byzantine emperors#Palaiologan Dynasty (claimants in exile)

I reverted the edit by 144.122.250.68 (talk · contribs) as the addition didn't make much sense.

Kodanad wikifying

Hello, You recently did a Wikifying on article titled Kodanad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodanad) and I find few of the sections removed. Could you please let me know whether this was intentional or not. Thanks Rms77 (talk) 22:28, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Kodanad is mainly a elephant training centre that offers various elephant related activities to its visitors. Hence there was a section, 'activities with elephants', which now seems to have got removed after your wikification. Could you please revert back, I think it is relevant to the article itself.

Help needed to clear the Feedback Dashboard queue

Hi SwisterTwister, a project has been constructed and Maryana (WMF) was wondering if you'd be able to help out with a research project her colleagues are running on the effects of MoodBar/Feedback Dashboard. They're trying to see if getting a response to MoodBar feedback helps newbies edit more – but to do that, they need to (temporarily) raise the level of responses to as close to 100% as possible. (Don't worry; it's only a week-long test.) If you could help me and her spread the word among the other FD top responders you know to help us clear the backlog by June 19th, that would be awesome! More details about this test are on this page on Meta. Let her know if you have any questions and feel free to get in touch with other FD leaders about this if you want :) Cheers,

Help!

Hi David

Thanks for your welcome. I am having a problem over the lead of the Sigmund Freud Wikipedia page and could use your advice about how to proceed since I am relatively new to Wikipedia. I have read a lot of Freud's work and a lot about Freud so I checked out the page. Freud's ideas have many adherents and many harsh critics, so I knew if I made edits I would have to respect the existence of the controversy. I have encountered a very aggressive editor over there who has written a lead to the Freud article that contained numerous references to the criticisms of psychoanalysis, but not a word from its adherents. It isn't an accurate reflection of the controversy, a controversy which is more justly reflected in the "Science" section in the body of the article (at least it was when I was last there!).

I made a bold edit, had them all reverted by said editor, and apologized for my excessive ambition in changing so much of the lead. At first, I thought I had actually offended the guy and I could assuage hurt feelings. I wanted to proceed toward compromise and consensus in good faith. I scaled back my goal from rewriting the lead or reverting it to an earlier version and decided to just try to make it a bit more balanced. In the Talk pages, I explained my thinking in terms I thought were polite, and I proposed a number of small changes that left the majority of his lead intact. He rejected them all with much hostility, and it was clear my attempt at courtesy and mutual respect for differing views was not going to be reciprocated. The Talk pages show all this quite clearly, despite his repeated attempts to mischaracterize what I said and did.

Mainly, I wanted to add in a comment from a reputable source into the lead to balance the criticisms with a view of Freud's importance to psychiatry. I added: "Renowned neuroscientist and Nobel laureate Eric Kandel wrote at the end of the twentieth century that 'psychoanalysis still represents the most coherent and intellectually satisfying view of the mind.' " Ref: Kandel ER., “Biology and the future of psychoanalysis: a new intellectual framework for psychiatry revisited.” American Journal of Psychiatry 1999; 156(4):505-24. In addition to winning a Nobel in neuroscience, Kandel is also the author of the main neuroscience textbook used in medical schools for the last several decades (I am an M.D., though I didn't mention that on the Talk pages). Kandel might be THE leading figure in neuroscience. His views, published in a well-known 1999 review in the American Journal of Psychiatry, merited citation I thought. I invited my opponent to add more criticism in there if he wanted to, but he preferred edit war--which he seems very much to enjoy!

I looked at this user's user page and he lists on it numerous articles he has created that rely exclusively on sources that roundly disparage Freud, his ideas, biographies of Freud, and anybody who dares to find value in his work. This includes Peter Gay's biography which was praised by the New York Times and Chicago Tribune as a masterpiece; Gay also won a National Book Award, though for a different book. Yet this editor does not mention any of that but just arranges his sources to lambast Freud at every opportunity. I believe this editor has made the Wikipedia entry on a very important figure very much biased, warped, and inaccurate. I think that is unfortunate because I am in agreement with Kandel that there are some very important ideas Freud had. Both Einstein and Carl Sagan felt that Freudian insight into the lies we tell ourselves is even of great political importance. Meanwhile, the "Freud Is Dead" / "Freud Is Not Dead" wars have been going on for a hundred years now, but this other editor does not acknowledge his partisanship and is determined to ban anything positive about Freud from the Freud page. The page used to be better, I seem to recall. I noticed that it's no longer rated a "good" page, and with good reason.

Is there a way to defend the page from this editor? He has ample opportunity to vent his spleen in veiled form and quote all the Freud-bashers he wants in the many other pages he's created, but people who know and value Freud's work ought to have a say in characterizing Freud as well, no? I notice that Creationists are not allowed to deface the Darwin page in this way.

Thanks sincerely for any help you have to offer.

Hypoplectrus (talk) 05:26, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

I respectfully suggest that editors interested in this dispute take a careful look through the revision history of Sigmund Freud instead of simply taking Hypoplectrus' claims at face value. It is not true that the lead only mentioned criticisms of Freud - it noted that some researchers believe there is evidence supporting some of his theories. Despite Hypoplectrus' claim that the lead suggested that Freud wasn't important to psychiatry, the fact is that the lead didn't even mention psychiatry, and as such suggested nothing about whether Freud was important to it or not. Hypoplectrus seems stuck on getting the Kandel quote in the lead. I've tried to explain that Kandel is simply one person to have expressed opinions about Freud's legacy, and that there's nothing that makes Kandel more important to Freud than many others, but he won't listen. I have nothing to say in response to Hypoplectrus' other comments, since they aren't relevant to this issue. Polisher of Cobwebs (talk) 06:47, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Can you review my page?

Hi! I've created a page 'India HIV/AIDS Alliance' and it was correctly spotted as not containing references or inline citations. Since then I've inserted references and citations and will continue to do so. However, i'm confused about the steps I should take now. Do I wait for people to respond to the new references and citations or do I contact someone specifically (someone like yourself :)? Apologies if this question is too basic to mention here but I thought you'd be a great resource for this.

Thanks for your time.

Hi! I just put an article up for tuned anvils but it says I don't have references, and I do. This may have been flagged from before and not removed I guess. Although I'm not sure.

Point is that I am a professional percussionist and am an expert in this field, and I interviewed Emil Richards about his collection personally, with his knowing about this use for wikipedia to keep track of the history of these instruments. I went back in and edited it with my new username and it was still showing up like that.

Is this how I reference a website page? That is inline, correct? This is to have it show text of "here's this fact" (and it's referenced with a little number next to it). BUT, what about at the end? Do I need to list references again? Or do I just have

References

(Please look at the code for the above). Anyway, your answers about how I reference a) statements in in-line text, and b) general references at the bottom of the article, or anything else I need to make it so it's a referenced article is appreciated.

David, thank you so much from me and the MoodBar research team for your work on clearing the Feedback Dashboard backlog! You and the other responders have doubled the number of responses to feedback in the past few days. I wanted to let you know that in 4 more days, the MoodBar will be temporarily disabled, so you won't see any new feedback coming in for a little while. This is just to get a sample of users to compare to the ones who could give feedback and get responses from you – it'll be back soon. So get all of your responding in now, because you might have to go through a bit of Feedback Dashboard withdrawal next week :) Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

Hello Swister Twister.

I just received a message asking me to refrain from making unconstructive edits. My edits weren't intended as vandalism. I've recently completed my dissertation on egalitarianism and liberalism through Plato, Aristotle, De Sade and Rochester. There are enormous errors on the liberalism page that I could correct but the most glaring is in the introduction that keeps reappearing asserting liberalism as egalitarianism. Obviously liberalism is the belief in liberty. I qualified this by asserting the difference between classical and social liberalism, the political philosophy of libertarianism and the social philosophy of libertinism. All four of these have a complex history in progressivism and conservatism that I could edit and source but before I do I'd like to know where this error is coming from.

Barelinks vs No footnotes

Hi. Quick note re: your {{Bare links}} tagging. The initial problem here, here and here is that there are no footnotes, not that the links are bare. Tagging with both may be appropriate for situations like this but given you can't really assign reference templates when they're listed as external links, it makes sense to just stick a {{No footnotes}} tag on. (E.g., I was intending to come here to fix barelinks, instead I'm just changing the tag as I don't have the time / expertise to fix the current problem (well, I did start fixing these but it's not much better....)). Cheers, Nikthestoned 12:39, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi SwisterTwister.

Thank you for responding. Yes. I've been through the tutorial. Nevertheless, there are a lot of detailed guidelines. The "do's and don'ts" are some what of a learning curve, and I'm somewhat confused on connecting references. I'm currently using the sandbox as recommended until I have the document ready. I have errors on my references at the bottom, but I think that is because I don't have them all yet cited in the document. It's a work in progress, and I still have a lot to do in order to complete it, but making good progress now I think. BTW....a question for you, if you don't mind....What do you know about referencing quotes from the subject? For example, in my document I have quotes from the person I am writing about...do I need to reference the interview as a "personal interview" and the date/time, etc? Or are quotes from the person of interest not allowed? Any recommendations or advice?

Plz help us what is the reason for speedy deletion. We need to create a simple article without any link. Help us. Is there any problem with our header name. We won't looking on a advertisement.

Thanks for the Barnstar

Hi Swister,
Thank you for the barnstar, very much appreciated. However, it does put me in a difficult position with regard to your RfA, I was intending to give a strong support but this puts me in a slightly difficult situation. I thought I would leave this message here to thank you for the barnstar, but as well to make the point that I intended to leave a support before you left it, however I will wait before I leave it. Just to be clear I am not suggesting that you were intentionally trying to sway a !vote. Thanks and good luck (though I'm sure you won't need it), you'll be a great admin, Callanecc (talk) 06:04, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Removal of PRODs

Hi there. I noticed you removed two BLP PRODs that I placed on Emerson Jose Reis Boccardo and Juan Pablo Lopez (footballer). Particularly in the case of the former, it seemed like the sole questionable source was insufficient for WP:BLP requirements. Sorry if I misjudged (I'm not so knowledgeable about football, more about WP guidelines), but just wanted to let you know of my reasons. —JmaJeremy^TALK_CONTRIBS 05:17, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

(Talk page stalker) This is a common misunderstanding. Especially when the rules kept changing last year. As it currently stands, there has to be no references in order to add a BLPProd. If there is one reference, reliable or not, then the BLPProd cannot be added. If a reliable source states the footballer has played a professional game, then per WP:NFOOTY, the footballer is notable and the article stays.

I hate J-league footballers. Hard to find sources. In both cases, the ref only says they joined the team. Refs never state either footballer played a game. So a Prod Could be warrantied. Juan Pablo Lopez... yea that isn't a common name to search for. I couldn't find any reliable ref on Emerson Jose Reis Boccardo. I would prod them both. Bgwhite (talk) 06:23, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Martin's Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc.

Hello, I feel as though another editor has placed an unjustified tag on the page I have been working on creating about Martin's Famous Pastry Shoppe. I was wondering if I could get your opinon as to whether the article appears to not be from a neutral point of view, especially the product information and the section about the origin of the company's name. I would really appreciate your help! Kggantz (talk) 13:20, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

(Talk page stalker) That tag indicates that an editor suspects that you or another major contributor may have a close connection to the business, which may result in a conflict of interest and/or bias. It isn't a comment on the actual quality or content of the article—just a warning to other editors that possibly contentious material should be verified independently with third-party sources. —JmaJeremy^TALK_CONTRIBS 16:24, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jmajeremy, Correct; however, I have spoken with the editor who placed the tag on the Martin's page and asked what he felt needed to be cleaned up in order to have the tag removed. He stated the products section and the line about the origin of Martin's name, neither of which, in my opinion, illustrate any bias. How else can I go about getting this tag removed? Thank you! Kggantz (talk) 18:41, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

To get the tag removed, you'll have to ensure that there is no bias from a conflict of interest present. You may want to ask some other editors to review the article. You can do this by posting a message at Talk:Martin's Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc. and/or by using WP:RFC.—JmaJeremy^TALK_CONTRIBS 21:21, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

How do I request an edit for a minor error in a semi-protected page?

Wikipedia's namesake article (Wikipedia) contains a typo in its Nature section under the subsection Editing. The second sentence says "...the reader of an article can edit the text as he sees fits..." "Fits" should be changed to "fit." The error in a section about Wikipedia's editing is unfortunate, but more importantly, how does a user edit or request editing on a semi-protected page? I could not find clear instructions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Catchthisdrift (talk • contribs) 03:07, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

(Talk page stalker) Done I made the change. Note that to edit "semi-protected" articles you only need to be an "autoconfirmed user," which means your account is at least 4 days old and has made at least 10 edits. —JmaJeremy^TALK_CONTRIBS 03:32, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

References problem

I want to make my article better. If you guide me, I'll do it myself. I have general question about wiki editing. I've created my first article and I'm not sure how to add references.

1. Eg. There are 3 sentences that I wrote by myself using one web source (not copy/paste). Should I add references to all of it? Like [1] after each sentence? Or add it as "general source" in references?

His debut album "Ganglion" was released in 2006 under Suspicious Records, the sub-label of Hive Records. He started cooperation with Artoffact Records and they re-released this album in 2011 by. His next two albums ("Monocyte", "Monocyte: The Lapis Coil") were also released under mentioned label, both in 2012.

1. I don't know if it even possible to add "general source" in references. Can I? I know that when I write an essay or any text I can add it as "Works cited", but wiki is different. We don't wont to write "This page says that..."
2. How to show web page in ref? I used wiki-help articles. But if I have page as "Discogs.com", there is no author of the articles. It is a database connected with music.

Koena (talk) 23:14, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

almost no references

I also have a problem that the person I write about is not "in the internet". I created the article because of that in the first place. It is very hard to find anything on him. I'm a fan nothing more. I can give mostly one source. Mostly it's his own pages on deviant art and so on. Will the article be deleted? :( Koena (talk) 00:15, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Your RFA

Hi David, I'm sorry to say that I have closed your RFA as unsuccessful. With the level of opposition surrounding issues such as your content contributions and answers to questions, I did not feel that there was a prevailing consensus to grant you administratorship. However, I hope you found the experience useful, and the feedback informative for a possible future RFA. Best, WilliamH (talk) 22:40, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Setara Institute

Hi! Today I did my first major wikipedia edit ever, adding the page for Setara Institute. So far, you are the only person who have made any changes after that. Since I don't know this place so well yet, I'm wondering if you could take the time to answer some questions.

1. Your edit states: "(Wikifying) (undo)". The former is in black, the second is a link. I guess the first one is a message from you, while the other is a tool for reverting edits in case they are bad? I looked up wikify, but the page didn't explain your message in context since I don't see any changes in markup.

2. You added the Refimprove tag. Does this mean "This stub is a nice beginning, but the page could really use more material" or "this page sucks, it should be fixed or deleted"? Also, are there any specific improvements you think would be good? I was a bit worried that citing two different newspapers would be a bit thin.

3. I used the page for Freedom House as a template, and thus began with a mission statement, copied from one of their reports. Why did you remove this mission statement? Does the summary of itself an organization does in one of it's reports not count? Something like, "if a page is to have a mission statement then it must come from a document that is squarely about the organization itself"?

Sorry if this is too much wall of text, thanks for you time. :)

Oh, and bonus question!

4. Does Wikipedia have a forum?

Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xzenu (talk • contribs) 01:59, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Edit: Oh yeah, signature. --Xzenu (talk) 02:03, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

1 & 2: Okay.

3: Could you elaborate a bit on "not encyclopedic"? Also, is including a mission statement on the Freedom House page questionable as well? If not, what is the difference? That it makes up a much smaller percentage of the total text? I can see how a single quote from what an organization say about itself is a problem when there's little other info, but not a problem when there's tons of secondary sources.

4: Thanks for the link to Village Pump. I might have been referring to help noticeboards as well, and maybe other resources. I'm not yet sure what kind of resources exist here. :-)

However, I'm more sure now than I was when I started writing this post! Wrote you a lengthy message, but deleted most of it: Having read your replies and your personal pages, I now have a better understanding of this site.

Copied the email tag from your profile, so that I can now be reached by private mail as well, not only the public talk page.

What I meant with forum is places like for example http://ayonae.ro , a community I founded and hanged out at a lot back when I played EverQuest. At ayonae.ro, there are several separate forums on different topics. On each forum, there are separate threads for separate issues. There is also built-in internal mail. That's the kind of system I'm used to. I'm sure wiki noticeboards works just as well, just take some time to get used to and get overview... :-)--Xzenu (talk) 09:14, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Declined speedy on Agrotechimpex

I have declined the multiple speedy tag on Agrotechimpex. The advertising tone has been addressed (by me). As for notability: a company that represents the privatized version of a former government ministry, that claims to be the single largest agricultural technology company in a given country has a credible claim of notability. I am troubled by the lack of sources available to verify this claim, but I suspect most of the press available about this company is written in Mongolian, which I can't even begin to search for.

(talk page stalker) Hi, Laura. I am an administrator. Please tell me the exact title of the article you tried to create? I looked at Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton but there has never been an article at that title, and it is not "salted" (protected against creation). It would help to know what were the problems that led to your title being protected, so that you could be advised how to overcome them. JohnCD (talk) 15:38, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

arvind swamy

Hi, Thank you for your message. I am new to wikipedia editing and therefore kindly overlook any protocol shortcomings. I am Arvind Swami and I take strong objection to the article misrepresenting my place of birth, my parents, the projects that I am currently doing etc. There is a conflict of interest as you said and that conflict is of that of fact and some cited sources that are themselves malicious press articles. To resolve this, I can send proof of my passport or any other document that clearly mentions my place of birth, name of parent etc. I would seek your advice on how and to whom i can send this information to, so that objectionable comtent can be removed immediately.

Your guidance will be much appreciated.

There are a lot of people who refer to wikipedia and it is causing me great embarrassment if such content is posted here. Please help.

hi, I was born on June 18, 1970. that info was correct. However, I was born in Chennai, not tiruchirapalli, as stated. My father's name is V.D.Swami I am not acting in a project by Thiru, as mentioned. My divorce details with a reference is given which is misleading and mischievous...it is a private matter and not a public matter as stated by the honourable courts and hence would like the reference to be removed. I dont know what BLP is as mentioned by you in your message. I need to rectify the above information and am willing to provide adequate proof as required. I cannot rewrite the referred articles in gossip columns that are being referred to as citation. Request your help please. regards, Arvind.--Arvindswami (talk) 22:01, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Maguy Bou Ghosn

Hello, I've noticed that recently you have been removing contents from the article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maguy_Bou_Ghosn because I have no sources. If you've noticed, the article is about a Lebanese actress. In Lebanon, our official language is Arabic, so all my sources are in Arabic. Everything I wrote in that article is true 100%, she's a very important actress here, in Lebanon. Also, some of my sources are from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_Duets_Arab_World . She also has a less developed wikipedia article in Arabic http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%BA%D9%8A_%D8%A8%D9%88_%D8%BA%D8%B5%D9%86 !!!

I tagged the article if additional sources were available, but primarly because the birth date was unsourced. It seems the links never confirmed the birth date as December 29, 1951. SwisterTwister talk 19:41, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

That is an excellent point. After doing some digging, I must have copied that fact from the Hebrew wiki (yeah, I know, I'm not supposed to do that, sorry). I couldn't find a source for the exact date, but I could find a source for the year, so I dropped the date and just left the year. While digging though I did find some more info so I managed to expanded the article a little. Clearly more has to be done - he seems to be embroiled in lawsuits right now, but most of the coverage is in Hebrew and most is piecemeal, so I can't make sense of the different articles about suits, countersuits, damages, appeals, courts overturning rulings, etc., but hopefully someone else can take that one. Anyway, hopefully this at least solves your concern with BLP sources. --Bachrach44 (talk) 22:00, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

problem contributing

My problem contributing to the John Zacherle page is I couldn't find a way to leave a message there- this is the first message I've left; perhaps because I'm using a smartphone? I wanted to note the article says Shock Theater debuted in 1957 (I hope I remember right, I didn't make notes), but I will never forget my father driving me & my best friend to the studio to see Zacherle in person & the swarm of fans storming the hill the studio stood on. The station execs never anticipated such a crowd. My point is, my friend & I had been watching Shock Theater for some time by then, and my father died in 1956 so the shoW must have debuted in 1955 at the latest.

Re: Myron Corp

Hi David,

I just wanted to write you a quick note in regards to your flagging of the new Myron Corp article I just posted.

I am keenly aware of the restrictions in place surrounding companies and promotional materials and have sought to make the entry as encyclopedic as possible. If you read it closely, it is very clean and purposefully outlines the history of the company, as well as other curated details such as humanitarian / charitable work.

Thanks for your contributions to the Wiki community. It seems like you've been around these parts for a long time and I hope you'll see that I have in fact followed the guidelines set forth by Wikipedia.

However, if I am mistaken - could you point out what areas feel too promotional and need refinement?

Thank you for your time, Evan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evster88 (talk • contribs) 22:52, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I tagged the article because sentences such as "Myron provides promotional business gifts to customers" may be considered as promotional. Have you visited Wikipedia:Writing better articles? SwisterTwister talk 23:00, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

How is that promotional? That's what they sell, "promotional gifts"... It's even listed in the infobox. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evster88 (talk • contribs) 23:05, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Adding "Myron Corp provides promotional gifts..." is equally promotional as putting "Myron Corp strives to please their customers" or "Myron Corp aims to provide the best quality service". A better rephrasing is "Myron Corp" is a promotional products company". SwisterTwister talk 23:16, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence page

Hello SwisterTwister!

I apologize if anything I may write or say isn't according to Wiki guidelines- I'm a first-time writer and am still learning how to do this. I'm a volunteer at the Gandhi Institute and was helping them create a wiki account and a wiki page so that people would be able to look them up via Wikipedia and of course, add or edit in whatever way they saw fit. I know this may seem as if it's self promotion, but the true intention is to get the word out about an organization that has been active since 1991 but doesn't have a wiki page. If you could please tell me what I can do to create the page without causing any issues, I would greatly appreciate it. I have good intentions and blatant publicity is not my intent. Thank you.

catherine kirkham-sandy

Dear Mr Swister Twister

You edited the above article and queried the notability of the subject: On Wiki the Society of Authors page states as follows

“Its youngest member is Edward Pinnegar, who published his first book in 2010, whilst aged 14.” Which is not now correct as Catherine was younger so I would have thought that the precedent justified the entry on Catherine; equally the Society of Authors page needs correcting

Also I put in citations for everything that I thought were facts: do I others please?

When I said "better references", I was saying that the article needs additional sources.

Hi David (Swister Twister)

Thank you for your feedback on the item I submitted, regarding Permo-drive. I note your comment that the item seems to need further material to place it in context.

This is my first contribution to Wikipedia, and the apparent lack of context is probably because I was trying to add to an existing and fairly comprehensive section on 'hybrid drive' technology. The contribution was not meant to be a stand alone piece. Can you advise if this explains the apparent randomness of my contribution. If so, can you assist me in getting it linked to the intended place in Wikipedia?

Hi SwisterTwister, thanks for your message about my page rename query. I've recently edited the "Osteodontokeratic Industry" (ODK) page with a full history of the concept (its a old hypothesis in Palaeoanthropology), however, he term "Industry" is a misnomer as the ODK was dis-proven, so it doesn't actually exist.

Dear Swister,

              Sorry;I'm not sure how WikipediA works: it seems to be too clever for me.

All I was trying to do was point out that the post mortem done by William Harvey (1578-1657) on the body of Thomas Parr showed that the cause of death was pleuropneumonia and not a clean bill of health as recorded in Wikipedia. It's not really important, so just forget it if it is too difficult to correct. Yours, Stewart moore.

ENLogic - Article "Anarchy"

The previous lead was a poorly written self-account of a particular anarchist's point of view. I replaced it with the actual definition of the words as defined by Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster Dictionary

I gave a very clear reason for the edit with sources. Wikipedia is not a place to "talk" and redefine words and concepts according to public vote and hearsay. Allowing such conduct undermines the credibility of Wikipedia's information as a whole.

Hello. I'm puzzled as to why you think I might need help, or why you seem to think my response was incorrect. I'm glad you sent him the link for the start articles page, I didn't think of that. But I know from experience that sending someone a link may not be as helpful as giving them some place to go and ask for help, so that's what I did. Between the two responses, hopefully the user will get off to a good start. :) Have a good day. Tlqk56 (talk) 20:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

We cross-reverted except I never got an edit conflict. I guess because I we were reverting to different versions (you undid the last while I reverted to the last by Maproom).--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 20:22, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

I was aware of the second contribution but I thought reverting the first contribution would more essential as the user removed a large amount of the lead. SwisterTwister talk 20:29, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk: Decline of Articles for creation/Internews Europe

Dear Swister Twister,

Thank you for your reply and comment on [Articles for creation/Internews Europe]. I have already had a look at Wikipedia:Writing better articles and I have tried to include as many reliable references as possible, see for instance TV5Monde(2011), European Commission (2009) or http://atelier.rfi.fr/profiles/blogs/des-medias-pour-le.

I also tried to change some of the language to make it sound more like a wikipedia article i.e. instead of 'strives' used now the word 'tries' in the first introductory paragraph.

I really don't know what to do more. Internews Europe is an organization with a long history of experience in international media development which particularly tries to support freedom of expression, investigative journalism and the voices of local communities excluded from the mainstream media, actually an agenda similar to wikipedia! I think their message, like yours, is we are allowed to know. I therefore thought it would be worth writing an entry about this organization in particular.

I will try to continuously improve the article, but it would be helpful if you provide me with some more tips!

COI Issue-mariasachs wiki page

Hi, I've read-through the tutorial page, thanks for the link. I haven't seen how best to deal with COI issues, and I believe I may need a more senior editor (since I'm still in the learning stages of wiki editing) for guidance. Question is below:

My question is about the wiki site- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Sachs. To be as transparent as possible, the site is of my mom; she first had a wiki page created (I believe it was automatically created) when she became a local councilor in south Florida (a state house representative) in 2006. When she became a state senator in 2010, I wanted to add more details and a photo to her wiki site. I don't posses much technological skill, so I asked for help on the talk page and an editor ( Jason Quinn, I think it was) helped post two photos. While I was typing to him, I identified myself as the daughter because I thought- given the emphasis on transparency in the Wiki community - it'd be important to note. Since that moment i identified myself, the wiki article has had the "This article is not written from a neutral point of view" banner.

I understand that on the COI page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest it states that " editors with COIs are strongly encouraged—but not actually required—to declare their interests, both on their user pages and on the talk page of the related article they are editing, particularly if those edits may be contested. Editors who disguise their COIs are often exposed, creating a perception that they, and perhaps their employer, are trying to distort Wikipedia. When someone voluntarily discloses a conflict of interest, other editors should always assume the editor is trying to do the right thing. Do not use a voluntarily disclosed conflict of interest as a weapon against the editor.

I thought that in identifying myself, it would be an ethical way to show my point of view. I would be happy to have that stated on the talk page, that the daughter has contributed to part of the article. However, the way it is now - as a banner on the top of the wiki page- makes it seem as if the entire article should be called into question. The current talk page for the wiki article has a posting from several editors who are discussing the COI but the only actionable item I can take is that one of them wants to bring in someone to edit it. I've been asking for help to bring on a senior editor to thus edit the page so we can rectify the problem but I haven't been able to do so (the various "help" requests on the talk page are by me). I hope that there is some way to resolve this issue. If it entails removing much of the current text on the page, then whatever is best to restore top credibility. I myself have not made any additional edits because I thought at this point it would be best to bring in a senior editor for further review. In 2010, I had originally contributed to the "Personal Life" section, parts of the 'Career' Section and I provided the references in 'Veterans and Nursing Homes".

89.100.250.193 (talk) 07:18, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Re: Feedback Dashboard

Hi SwisterTwister. Thank you for your further help, but I don't need it anymore. I decided not to assist with the Feedback Dashboard project as you may have seen what I replied to Gold Standard as the Feedback Dashboard is " tedious, redundant and a job for a bot". I'll maybe use your information to someday make a bot for the Feedback Dashboard. I can see you are primarily focusing on needy feedbacks and ignoring all other feedbacks, which my concern's for the Feedback Dashboard don't affect you. I will be continuing to clean Wikipedia by revising recent changes, reverting vandalism, and maintaining Wikipedia articles. So good luck with the Feedback Dashboard, because I strongly regret ever volunteering for it!

My first attempt to edit Wikipedia was in the article around "The Merchant of Venice"; I made an edit I thought was important, which was reverted, then edited again and posted about it on the article's talk page. It was reverted again (marked as vandalism that time) and another user said my edit was useful, but was a bit condescending in telling me off for not asking first.

The Children's Media Foundation

You have left a message to say that you have recommended my new entry "The Children;s Media Foundation" for deletion because it is not impartially written.

I admit, I am the Director of the Foundation. Which is why the information is totally accurate. I have tried to place no value judgements within the piece. Granted, there is no criticism or dissenting point of view. But as a relatively new organisation that is as yet unlikely to emerge. The organisation is an important one in the UK - and has wide support. I suspect your view may be the result of you not being a UK resident.

I find it difficult to understand why Wikipedia would not welcome initial articles written by those close to an organisation as the basic text can be assured of being accurate. Over time as the organisation makes more waves in the public space, others will surely edit the article to produce a wider set of viewpoints.

I should point out that my only previous encounter with editing in Wikipedia was my own biography, which i did not post, but which was inaccurate and frankly absurd. I edited it to make it no more than accurate. I am not interested in self promotion. It was then changed back to the original, and this occurred twice before my edit "stuck".

In posting the article on the Foundation I was trying to avoid a repeat of this situation. The Foundation's history is complex, and its aims and activities are diverse and relatively nuanced. It needs to be carefully handled and the people who understand it best at this moment are those engaged in setting it up.

IN the end if you wish to delete it - feel free. I cannot write the article significantly differently as I am closely connected as you suspect. I shall be interested to see what emerges to replace it over time.

About feedbacky things

Hey! I noticed you've been responding to quite a large number of new editor feedbacks (feedbacks?), which is great. However, one you just left on this user's talk page caught my eye. Maybe I'm over-thinking this, but isn't a reply that consists entirely of a link to a page that is even tagged as being "too technical for most readers to understand" a bit terse and unhelpful? In my experience, new editors tend to prefer replies that are more personal and explain things clearly, rather than merely tossing a link their way and moving on. I've gone ahead and invited the user to the Teahouse, in case they would like to ask some questions.  dalahäst ^{(let's talk!)} 07:21, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

(1) No, responses are archived but as mentioned at Wikipedia:New editor feedback, it is possible for admins to hide comments. (2) At times, it's best to ignore comments such as "Wikipedia is fucking gay" because they are probably too young to understand Wikipedia and are simply trolling. If they mature, they may return as a constructive user. (wouldn't be the first time that this has happened) (3) From experience, I've found that the counter will change after a few days. (4) If you are referring to viewing unanswered comments, click "show unanswered" at the left side. I hope I've answered your questions. SwisterTwister talk 22:05, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the concern. I did not expect a response to it, truth be told.
That said, no, nothing's troubling me down at Wikiland. Only a little frustrated at times. The talk pages are always rather adversarial in tone and context, and it got to me in the minutes prior to my clicking the unhappy icon.

Yes but unfortunately several of those references are either small mentions or are affiliated with the subject, therefore insufficient to establish notability.

Chinyere Asika

Why did you reject the article for Chinyere Asika? Again, I don't know where you would expect more sources to come from. The ones that I found online are credible enough and this person is a very notable Nigerian born in 1939. As it stands right now in 2012, things still aren't properly documented. If Wikipedia continues to maintain these types of "standards", it will challenging for notable people in Africa to be included here. Context really needs to be considered here. Coingroup (talk) 14:45, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

It isn't that Wikipedia needs to change their "standards", rather that articles need to be well-sourced. As I mentioned at your AfC submission, I believe the subject is notable and I appreciate your efforts but I noticed there are sections that are unreferenced. Are all the references listed supporting the sections that aren't sourced? SwisterTwister talk 18:04, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Chess960

You have reversed my edits to Chess960 starting position and Chess960 numbering scheme with the summary that it was "unexplained removal"s. Did you not see my summaries which said that Chess960 is already categorised under "Category:Chess variants"? These two articles are daughter articles relating to aspects of a chess variant so it is inappropriate to categorise them as chess variants. It would be better to create Category:Chess960, subcategorise it under Category:Chess variants and put all three related articles there. Could you please remove both of these daughter articles from the wrong category? 90.200.179.189 (talk) 00:32, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Although the articles are related, individual articles should always be categorised regardless of relations. Additionally, it would unnecessary to start a category called "Chess960" with the intent of only containing three articles. SwisterTwister talk 00:37, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Virtual Piggy

Hi. Sorry to butt in on one of your AfC reviews, but I noticed you declined this AfC submission, and the creator has posted on the help desk about it. I had a quick scan through the references and see numerous news articles which discuss the company in depth, which would seem to pass notability. It's probably not obvious unless you've done lots of AfC reviews, but a recent discussion on the reviewer's talk page says that, correctly IMHO, aesthetic problems aren't a valid reason to decline an article, as long as it's reliably sourced. Anyone can fix up an article, but they can't make a non-notable person notable!

Virtual Piggy

Hi there,

Thanks for the quick response to my post. Hoping to make the necessary revisions to get this approved.

It sounds like I should entirely remove the first three sections that explain how the product works? I know it may sound somewhat like an advertisement, but it is notable that the product is unique in this space - letting kids make purchases online. There is no comparable service currently available. I tried to make a good amount of changes after the first rejection to make it sound more factual in that regard.

Where sources are concerned, I understand that many of them come from blogs. But they are not from individual/independent blogs, rather the blog sections of what would otherwise be acceptable sources, like the Wall Street Journal. I'm hoping that distinction can be made, in that there are different levels of reliability between blogs.

catching copyvio

I just removed as copyvio a resubmission of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Raglan Housing, which you had previously declined as "written like an advertisement", which was certainly true. Apparently you had not noticed it was entirely or almost entirely copied from their web site.

Removing copyvios is one of the most essential things we need to do at AfC , almost as important as removing vandalism or libel--copyvio is considerably worse than promotionalism or lack of notability. Any apparently well-written article about an organization or person who is likely to have a web site needs to be checked against it--and it's even easier, when the web site is listed at the bottom of the article. I've learned to always check. And then I usually tell the user (as I did here) not to try to give permission, because it would be too promotional to keep in any case DGG ( talk ) 04:47, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Although that isn't a guideline, again, I believe it may be for the better rather than resubmitting the article and flooding the article with multiple declines.

Peter "Petey" Andrews

Hello. You recently reviewed an article submission of mine regarding an American guitarist and songwriter, Peter "Petey" Andrews. You informed me that it did not meet standards for notability. I did some homework and I believe that Mr. Andrews may meet those standards. He has served this year, and will continue to serve in upcoming gigs, as bandleader for a performer known as Tammy Faye Starlight. Two members of that band, drummer Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and The Attractions) and violinist Lisa Germano (John Mellencamp) are notable musicians. Each already has a Wikipedia page. The presence of Germano and Thomas in the band is attested by an LA Times article from earlier this year. Unfortunately, Andrews is not specifically identified as bandleader in the article. However, he has supplied me with the email addresses of both Thomas and Germano, who will confirm his role as bandleader. These addresses are: jujubeanthomas@aol.com (Thomas) and emotionalwench@gmail.com (Germano). My question is this: Can verification by Germano and Thomas be sufficient to help Andrews meet the Wikipedia requirements for notability?

With thanks,

Byron Laursen 24.23.187.173 (talk) 20:35, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

I declined the submission because the article only contained one reference supporting the award for the song "If I Can’t Take You With Me". For the article to be accepted, the article needs additional reliable and preferably third-party sources to be considered notable.

Adopt-a-user

Hi SwisterTwister. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved as an adopter with Wikipedia's Adopt-a-user program. A clean-up of this program is currently underway, and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is and isn't still interested in remaining an adopter.

If you would prefer not to be part of the adoption program anymore, you need do nothing; when the overhaul of the project is completed your name will be removed from the list of active adopters. However, if you have current adoptees, an active adoption school or an interest in adopting in the near future, then please let us know by signing here.

If you want to remain in the project and can currently take on more adoptees, there is a serious backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user; it would be enormously helpful if you could take on one or two of the users there. Please do keep an eye on the project for upcoming changes, we could use your opinions and your help! Yunshui 雲‍水 09:22, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello SwisterTwister!

Hello!

Thank you for reviewing my very first contribution to Wikipedia (an article on Marcio "Macarrao" Stambowsky)!

I am in a bit of a pickle, however, trying to satisfy Wiki's policy since Brazil has mostly an oral culture and there is very little written down about any of the great masters, such as Macarrao, which were part of the history of the sport.

On verifiability: I could not find any record of the wins I claimed in the article, and although I could include photographs of the particular medals or trophies, they wouldn't add anything to the article. In this case, could I submit the photos just for the sake of getting the article approved and then later delete them?

On notability: Most of the mentions of Macarrao (this is true for all great fighters of the previous generation) are in interviews (i.e. on YouTube), when they are being acknowledged by some other younger fighter. Could I include those links just, again, for the purpose of establishing notability and then remove them later?

Thanks for your help!

On why a non-existent article is being referred to even after the reason for removal is being stated

Hi SwisterTwister,

I'm unsure if you are the right person to informt this vandalism:

If you may notice from the history of the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_front_of_india.

Irrespective of giving clear responses for the reason for my edits, the user WBRSin has simply reverted to his/her liking - this I feel goes against the spirit of bringing accuracy to the Wiki Encyclopedia. From WBRSin talk page, disambiguation and edit ban has already been given to this user.

I simply don't prefer to make this page space as a on-off game of deletion and addition.

So kindly intervene or redirect appropriately.

Omar Slim White article

Thanks for the review, what would be the difference between Omar White and Don King the boxing promoter? Both are promoters and responsible for booking talent just in different areas.... Also when you say sources aren't sufficient can you be specific? The Ny times, CNN, Sandra rose and the alike would constitute as credible as they've all been mention in various forms of media... Also if youre refering to the magazine reference then how is that different when its on the same level as Essence, Jet or Vibe magazine (in the Urban community)... So you must be clear in what stands for notable sources and notable people... For example Don King became famous for booking well known boxing figures, Omar is well known for booking Actors, Actresses, Platinum R&B and Rap artist to well known Athletes. So break down the difference... Wikipedia seems biased as it has many articles with less credible references and even less credible people that aren't even well known as the above said person--Latrina1974 (talk) 03:55, 20 September 2012 (UTC)Latrina1974

Yes, there are several reliable sources such as The Huffington Post, New York Post and CNN, however, they are small mentions and focus with his engagement to Vivica A. Fox rather than other significant content about Omar White specifically, such as his career. Second, several of those "articles with less credible references and even less credible people" are either deleted or have been tagged for those issues. As I mentioned at the submission, the article needs more relevant sources to Omar White, not an article mentioning that he danced with Chris Brown at a club.

Mark Koltko-Rivera article: Use of American Psychological Association references

Hi! This is in reference to the submission I made regarding Mark Koltko-Rivera. In your comments, you mentioned that one problem with the submission is that most of the citations were either to that author's work or to material from the American Psychological Association (APA).

I'm trying to understand what the problem is with the APA references. Wikipedia's notability guidelines state that academics recognized as having Fellow status in a major learned society are sufficiently notable for an entry -- but the only way to demonstrate that (along with other distinctions awarded to the subject by APA) is by citing material from APA itself.

Please advise. Thank you!

Hi Swister, I wonder if you could give me a hand? Through a comedy of errors another editor and I both created the above article. The Contributor picked one version he liked so I agreed to move the other back to the articles for creation space and simply decline it. I was able to move it, but unfortunately I can't decline it because it is missing some of the codes it needs to decline it now. I did blank the article just so someone else didn't come along and accept it for a third time. Can you advise me how to get rid of it out of the Articles for Creation section? Thanks for your help.

Oh I see, there's one version under Jan Mączynski and an aborted version at Jan Mączyński. Really all that is needed is that the text from Jan Mączynski is moved to Jan Mączyński (proper name) and Mączynski (without the dash on the n) gets made into a redirect.

Good morning SwisterTwister. The version the user wanted to submit has been submitted. It's in the main space and, so far as I can tell, has been there since 18:40 last evening. This is the one the user created him/herself. Then I came along and unwittingly created it again shortly afterward. It's the second, redundant one that I moved back to the Articles for Creation space to decline but couldn't. It is now blank but still needs to be removed from the Articles for Creation space.

Mayan EDMS

Good morning SwisterTwister! I have concerns about the Mayan EDMS article which has been submitted at Articles for Creation, but I am not sure how it should be dealt with. In particular, the section headed "Controversy" references and footnotes an earlier deletion discussion which resulted in deleting an article entitled Mayan EDMS. I just thought I should alert someone much more experienced than me that this article had been submitted and appears to be more of a rant against editors at Wikipedia than anything else.

The article Piyush Trivedi does not meet any notability criteria and seems as an attempt by the subject himself or by his close relation. Creating and keeping such articles is / shouldn't be encouraged at Wikipedia.

However, Google Scholar shows that he has contributed to several work. I'm not an expert with scholars but that would appear to be enough to pass Wikipedia:Notability (academics). SwisterTwister talk 04:48, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Markmarkai (talk) 05:01, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Re: Access

Hi, I understand what you're saying, but I totally disagree. Firstly, that the page itself was deleted (I'm assuming because it wasn't notable) doesn't mean it must be mentioned somewhere else instead. In my opinion, it is simply not-notable for inclusion anywhere on Wikipedia. This is not a complete listing of everything ever made relating to The Simpsons. That's what we have Wikisimpsons for. That it was loosely to do with the 20th anniversary doesn't really matter in my view. It's an unofficial 'documentary' that got a couple of staff members and some guest stars or whatever and aired on a foreign broadcaster. It is no more notable than any other documentary or feature ever made about the show. Morgan Spurlock's documentary being the only exception, because that was actually an official thing. It's notable as a source (not that it revealed anything), but not notable on its own. Giving it any form of mention would be massive undue weight. At least, that's my view.

WP:Competence is required

I had not previously seen that essay. It was a good read. I will point out that the essay points out its own inherent incivility, and notes that if you need to apply the essay to a particular editor, it is best not to inform them of such (i.e. don't actually point out to someone that they are incompetent, but rather, recognize their potential incompetence and point them in the right direction to fix it). Overall, the tone of your message to Jainghaziabad (talk · contribs) was rather nice (nicer than I might have been, avoiding as you did the obvious COI the editor has with the subject at hand), but the link to the incompetency essay might be taken in the wrong light.

Hello SwisterTwister,

I'd appreciate your help- I'd like to edit a wiki page because today there comments were added that were partisan and political in nature- related to an ongoing political campaign (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Sachs) I'm not sure which rules would be best to cite to remove or censure the statements added under "ethics complaint and state investigations".

Articles for deletion - Autobiography - Notability

Hello SwisterTwister,

You encouraged me to ask you for advice concerning AfD...

I am editing in the field of Aerospace engineering, Aerospace industry, French engineering education system. I am writing a few biographies as well, using AfC reviewing process.

I have tried as well to structure the categories for :

Aerospace industry in English, French and German,

Aerospace engineers in English, French and German.

I feel that there is a double standard policy concerning notability citeria for biographies.

I wrote the biography of Jean-Paul Herteman, probably the most important person in French Aerospace industry. He is CEO of Safran, Chairman of the French Aerospace & Defence Insustries association GIFAS and Chairman as well of the European GIFAS.

It took me 5 weeks to be able to fulfill the notability criteria of this article. Alain Bugat who has headed during 6 years the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique was audited several times by the French Senate received a tag "Autobiography" suspecting that Alain Bugat had written himself his biography on Wikipedia !

Please have a look at Florence Devouard ; this very much looks like a Linkedin profile ! You have the christian names and the dates of birth of her 3 children ! Who knows the names and dates of birth of the 3 children, except for their mother ? And who cares ? She openly requested her Wikipedian friends to add the ridiculous piece of information that she had been elected "conseiller municipal" (village counsellor) in a village with 900 inhabitants in the middle of nowhere in the French countryside... Isn't it a blatant autobiography in disguise ?

I added the template "autobiography" but it was removed at once. I added "notability" ; it was removed as well and I was threatened for "disruptive behaviour... Certainly a good friend and guardian of hers...

I remember the justification for this page : "There is no reason why Florence Devouard shouldn't have her biography since Angela Beesley has got her own ! With such twisted reasonings, all Wiki admins deserve to have their biography as encyclopaedic material on Wikipedia !

I think that there should be a fundamental discussion about this obvious double standard policy regarding the notability criteria.

Best regards. Euroflux (talk) 13:55, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Although Florence herself has edited the article using her account, Anthere, the edits are infrequent and insignificant to be considered promotional or any other violations. If you have concerns with her notability, you should feel free to search for sources but there may not be many independent of her Wikimedia Foundation work. Regarding the autobiography issue, there are far worse articles that have been edited by the subject. Can you show me the evidence proving she has asked other users to add content from her behalf? SwisterTwister talk 20:48, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Is she notable outside Wikipedia ? What did she achieve in her life ? What does it mean to be the Founder of Wikimedia France ? "conseiller municipal" of a 900 inh. village in the middle of nowhere is such a ridiculous piece of information ! And she insisted that her friends put this on her page ! her "biography" looks like a bad Linkedin profile... Euroflux (talk) 20:59, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate your comment on the afd in question. I looked at a bunch of links before I made the nomination. As a bio, it can't stand up to policy. That said, others may disagree, seeing the story has been picked up and retold for local audiences all over the place. To my mind, the questions are always "does this belong in an encyclopedia? Does it meet our tests? Is this an exception for some reason?" I don't think so, but I saw this during NPP and couldn't imagine why we would include items just like a tabloid would.

I am referring to article Jayaraj.V.Thoppil — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.162.22.3 (talk) 07:50, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

I supported the deletion because there aren't any significant sources aside from one reliable source, The Hindu. Additional sources such as detailed reviews would improve the article. Please note that websites where you can purchase the books from are not significant or sufficient to establish notability. Several websites such as Amazon sell thousands and thousands of books but not all of them are notable. Additionally, another issue is the article's tone, words such as "beautiful and sacred place", "highly talented" and "kind human being" are not appropriate for an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia must always maintain a neutral point of view and tone. Finally, no, you never have to pay for anything here. SwisterTwister talk 20:15, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Answering your questions about Florence Devouard's (auto)biography

Dear SwisterTwister,

In a previous section about Articles for deletion, autobiography, notability you wrote this :

Although Florence herself has edited the article using her account, Anthere, the edits are infrequent and insignificant to be considered promotional or any other violations. If you have concerns with her notability, you should feel free to search for sources but there may not be many independent of her Wikimedia Foundation work. Regarding the autobiography issue, there are far worse articles that have been edited by the subject. Can you show me the evidence proving she has asked other users to add content from her behalf? SwisterTwister talk 20:48, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

I would like to answer your questions and make some comments.

Just have a look at the French Talk page. If you cannot read French, I am translating.

In the first section entitled "Autobiographie" Anthere clearly says that she is jobless and explains what to add on her page in order for her to find a job ! Anthere manages her biography which should have an encyclopaedic character exactly as if it were a Linkedin profile !

In the 3rd section of the French Talk page of her biography, Anthere announces that she has just been elected "conseiller municipal" (village counsellor) of a small village with 900 inhabitants, which is a ridiculous piece of information. Anthere clearly requests that a "good soul" should add this (ridiculous) piece of information on her behalf, because, as she says, she does not want to do it herself.

In the 6th section entitled "Update" Anthere wants to update her (auto)biography, but she does not want her biography to appear as an autobiography ! She proposes some "tricks" in order to hide the fact that she is bluntly writing her own biography (create a subpage, etc...).

A "little brother" answers that she has every right to write whatever she likes about her, that nobody would ever suspect her of dishonesty,... bla bla , and he thanks her for the great job she did....

I hope I answered your question about the proof of the autobiographical character.

Aren't we in a typical case of double standard policy ? Euroflux (talk) 13:05, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Article declined: Open-E_DSS_V7, please help

Hey SwisterTwister,

You declined my article Open-E DSS V7 and wrote that you would like to see reviews of the product, if any exist and I am a little bit confused. My question is, what kind of reviews would you like to see in the article? Independent people/magazines reviewing & testing the product or for example an amazon review? Also, what happens in a case where there aren't many reviews, since this is a relatively new product? I couldn't find this information anywhere on Wikipedia, so your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Michael Pollack

Hi! Please check back at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Pollack - I found new information that may be relevant WhisperToMe (talk) 21:06, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

• Even though that discussion had been closed as a delete, after a discussion with the closing administrator I decided to re-write the article with new sources, and I presented it to Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Michael_Pollack#Michael_Pollack_.28new_version.29 WhisperToMe (talk) 07:53, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Please take a look at User:WhisperToMe/Michael Pollack - I wrote a pretty lengthy article about him using the sources you found, and more. Do you think it establishes notability? WhisperToMe (talk) 03:00, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

If I get no feedback then I am going to move the article into the mainspace, assuming that it's proven its notability WhisperToMe (talk) 05:14, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello and sorry and for making you wait, I received your message the first time and planned to and was reviewing it today. Honestly, the article is very detailed, yes, but much of content is not related to his career such as the Mike Sunnucks comment is related to his son's death and is probably not necessary and also the details about his son at the "Personal life" section are probably also unnecessary. Although relevant and interesting, his antique collecting is probably also not necessary. Additionally, he has expanded his work to Texas but it seems he is more known for working in California and Arizona especially the latter, rather than say a nationally known developer (which I'm not asking for but I would like some more significant recognition). From what I see, he is more known for building apartments and strip mall shopping centers (which I have nothing against) but nothing of that seems to be notable. You can ask for opinions from other users but I feel as if he may not be notable for Wikipedia yet. SwisterTwister talk 05:58, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I have seen cases on Wikipedia where a person may be active in only, say, one area but there are enough sources to meet notability requirements, i.e. a city council member of a large city. The basic criterion at Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Basic_criteria states "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published[3] secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[4] and independent of the subject.[5]" - I feel there are plenty of sources about Pollack. - Sometimes fairly "regional" topics seem to have survived AFD, I.E. an article about the Hmong community in a medium-sized California city that I had written survived AFD Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/History_of_the_Hmong_in_Merced,_California - Anyhow, I could check to see if there is a USA Today or a New York Times article talking about Pollack, just to see if he's been discussed in a national publication. The main reason why I included antique stuff is because some of the Arizona papers wrote entire articles about it, and Pollack did publish a book about some of the stuff he collected; it's not his main thing, but he is active in that area. The stuff about the son is there on the principle that content about "non-notable" family members go into the article of the "notable" relative, i.e. Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Invalid_criteria WhisperToMe (talk) 06:23, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Since there is a noticeboard I started Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard#Notability_of_Michael_Pollack to get more feedback WhisperToMe (talk) 03:38, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Rejected: Gary Snyder

I see that you rejected my article on businessman Gary Snyder, specifically in regards to the Family History and Family Holdings sections.

The information in this article cannot be found anywhere else on the Web in one concise article. That is why it is so heavily cited...The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Associated Press and Forbes just as a sample.

The "Family history" section is key to the page, not simply for Gary Snyder's individual history, but because it places it in an unbiased, factual context for readers and researchers. Because of both his history and his family's, just as if you are writing an article on a member of the Rockefeller or the Hearst or the Murdoch families, you make sure to place in context where they fit in and how and leave it up to readers to decide whether there is too much information.

As to whether any of this is relevant to Gary Snyder, being that various news organizations (respected worldwide) feel it is, it would be incumbent on any author of an article on this individual/subject to include this context in their articles.

Once again, the information in these sections that you refer to as superfluous cannot be found anywhere else on the Web, which I believe is one of the core goals of Wikipedia. This was/is the goal of the article. Changes can be made, but more information as to why you feel this information should be deleted is needed first. Thank you for elucidating your opinion.

Space Alert Third Party tag

Hi!

I created the page for Space Alert. It's the first page I've ever created and I copied most of the layout/information style from the page for Stone Age. I'm curious as to why you added the third-party tag. Does board game geeks not qualify as a neutral third party? Should this tag also be added to the Stone Age page or has that page done something differently?

Articles for Creation/Vu Ky

Hello,

Thank you for reviewing my first article. I will gather more information for the notability reference of Mr. Vu Ky. Since his accomplishments were garnered prior to the fall of Saigon at the end of April 1975, any document relating to his awards or recognition were in Vietnamese and in paper format (not on-line). Will they be sufficient if I obtain the permission from his family to scan and upload them? Also, when I uploaded the image of the back cover of his book, it got displayed as upside down. Is there anyway I can replace it with the correct image?

Yankee Pasha

Hello,

The reason for my entry was that there already existed an entry for the film which was based on this novel. For the entry on the film, I added that the film is based on an existing novels so it's only logical that both versions (i.e. the novel and the film) exist as separate entries in Wikipedia. I will try to add the plot of the book at the first occasion posible however I believe this entry should be added to Wikipedia in its current version. The additions can be made later.

Consequently, I request you to re-consider my submission as it is for the time being.

You tagged this article for G12 deletion and then removed it when you noticed the source was GFDL licensed. You should be aware that we haven't been able to accept GFDL-only licensed material since November 2008, it now has to be CC-BY-SA compatible (you can read Wikipedia:Licensing update if you're interested in all of the gory details), so it actually would generally be subject to G12 and there's even a {{Db-gfdl}} for that purpose.

Now in this case there's an extra twist in that Wikibin is host to articles deleted from Wikipedia, so it wouldn't actually be a copyright infringement if we found and restored the appropriate article history for attribution. Of course usually such articles were deleted for good reasons and aren't improved before they're reposted, and so (like I just did for this article) are often deletable under G4 instead.

Anyways, cheers! VernoWhitney (talk) 03:33, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

reliable sources -touchstorm

Hi David,

While we foresee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Touchstorm being expanded on and substantiated along the way once approved and posted, we hope you can help expound upon your initial feedback to help get it there. For the information contained in the post (fairly short in proportion to the independent and reliable references provided) we received the response that the post on Touchstorm is non notable. Why are the following media outlets not considered reliable sources? AdAge, Chief Marketer, Beet.TV, Inc. Magazine (in which Touchstorm was named in the top 500 list for 2012), Benzinga, MediaPost, Website Magazine and iMedia Connection. All are independent, notable, verifiable outlets. Did the declined response given mean more than just the amount or notability of sources? Any additional detail is much appreciated.

I look forward to hearing more and understanding what exactly we can do to improve this post for a company that has been noted in top industry trade media (as well as top tier business outlet Inc. Magazine) and works with such well known brands.

No I will not because both "Mobile" and "Mobile Marketing & Commerce" are equally confusing. Titles should indicate the person's occupation such as "(politician)" or "(musician)".

I think it always helps to search for helpful sources before nominating as it may prevent mistakes (other users may find sources and question the nominator's interpretation of Wikipedia:BEFORE). Searching for sources before nominating and listing these results in your nomination shows that you took the care of trying to improve the article. One of the most detailed and successful nominations I have done is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Historical Black Press Foundation. Although searching may seem like a lot of work, it can have benefits. I recently saved some articles including Max Cooper (electronica musician), Emma Degerstedt, Waacking and Woolrich. As for Punkcast, I understand why you thought it read like an advertisement and I agree the article talks quite a bit about him rather than more about the company. I'll search later and try to improve the article if I find any good sources. SwisterTwister talk 22:08, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jacob Lusk

I saw that you recently closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jacob Lusk and I ask you to reconsider your close. This discussion is not the type of discussion that should be closed by a non-admin per Wikipedia:Non-admin closure since there was contentious debate by the editors with arguments on both sides based on notability guidelines that the article passed or did not pass WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. The fact that three editors, including two admins, relisted the debate probably based on a lack of consensus to close and that there were no additional comments after the last two relistings, shows that there was still no consensus. Your closing summary also seems to consist of a WP:SUPERVOTE, with negating one's sides guideline-based arguments and redirect is not the only appropriate option, when if this was your opinion in an AfD with no clear consensus, you should have simply stated your vote and waited for an admin to close the discussion. What I am then asking for you to do is reverse your redirect, reverse your closure, move your closure statement to a redirect comment, undo the archived debate and wait for an admin to close the discussion.

Rick L Evans

Hi. I can validate that Rick L Evans sang with the Crownsmen, and recorded with Manna Records. I am the Gary Kauffman, guitar player, that is referenced. I was in the studio with him when we recorded I'm Gonna Rise and You Gave the Song. I toured with him on the group's Continental bus for about 18 months. Thank you. crwnsmn.gt.plar@gmail.com ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.30.85.241 (talk) 01:21, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your validation but that will not save the article because it needs reliable third-party sources such as news coverage, reviews, etc. to be considered notable. Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 01:24, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I am the one that created the article and am working to find the "third Party" verification you are looking for. It does exist. Some of the obscurity is because of the way the Christian Market works, but it can be verified. Please allow me some time to gather the information needed as I am a bit new to this format and the requirements. I did add his discography which can certainly be verified by the record companies with which he recorded both in news cycles and in third party validation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lee Karnbach (talk • contribs) 13:23, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Is this a strong enough to help get started?

The zoominfo is not strong enough because it is a profile website like LinkedIn where the subject created all of the content and the "web references" clearly state the group's website therefore it is not actually a third-party source. The doveawards.com link is better as it talks a little more about him and it is third-party but it's still through The Imperials and, as I mentioned at the deletion page, that is all he is known for at this time.

Re: Copyrighted contributions - Adrian Pearsall article

Hello David,

I refer to the recently submitted article/information on American architect and furniture designer Adrian Pearsall. I am the author of this article, originally posted on mid-centuryonline.com on 7 Dec 2012 11:10:39. You can find my other contributions to this site's Magazine section at http://mid-centuryonline.com/blog.

All referenced sites/publications are mentioned in both my original posting (at the site above) and were also included in my submittal of the article to Wikipedia. The article itself is entirely in my own words. I submitted the piece on Pearsall to expand the knowledge base on this little-known designer.

Please let me know what more can be done to have this article displayed. Feel free to email me at karl@mid-centuryonline.com.

Also, the user (Altered Waters) who highlighted this as a 'copyrighted piece' now seems to be unavailable on this site.

Thank you. Kmid-century (talk) 09:48, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I've re-worked the proposed article that you reviewed back in August of 2012.

Are you referring to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Petey Andrews? If so, there's still only one reference and it doesn't mention all of the present information. The way you submitted that first reference on one paragraph is good, now do it for the other paragraphs.

A page I'm creating

Hi. So I'm creating a page for the webseries The Most Popular Girls in School, and after it being deleted a few times due to my unknowingly moving the page I decided to do it by the guidelines, and once again it was deleted. Now, after thinking about it I've decided to try once more, but this time just keeping it in my sandbox without a nomination for creation tag. I was wondering if you could look at it, and let me know if I'm doing anything wrong. I seem best to my knowledge to be going by the guidelines, but I don't want to rush it again and have it delete for some stupid reason. --Matt723star (talk) 19:15, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Clara Amfo

This page is a mess, but it appears the subject is notable. Bearian (talk) 19:25, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

I think otherwise, and made a rather long comment. I doubt it would pass AfD, even after extensive rewriting. DGG ( talk ) 00:28, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

@DGG: Very well, I mentioned it seemed she was more regionally notable anyway. It seems she at least got a more noticeable position having hosting her own show now. Now as for Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Icehockeyinharlem? SwisterTwister talk 03:56, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Both these are borderline. This has the added problem of having major news attention it might not otherwise have because of being in NYC. I've seen a few other similar articles on youth athletic organizations, and I don;t like turn them down, on the one hand, or to certify them as being OK on the other. At AfC I usually just pass on these, which at the present gives about a 50% chance of their getting sensible attention. But when we consult, even if I were rash enough to say we are taken together the most generally knowledgable people at WP, I don't like the position of one or two people being the arbiters of notability in borderline cases over such a wide field; both these are borderline, & if they were articles at AfD I'd let others discuss them. Perhaps the only fair way to do it is to revise them both as best we can, then accept them, and ourselves take them to AfD saying we want a community opinion. There ought to be a better way, but i for the moment can;t think of one. DGG ( talk ) 04:30, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Nucleus page Nomination

Hello SwisterTwister I dont understand on what basis u have added a deletion nomination to the page Nucleus Premium Properties Private ltd. Nucleus is a very famous builder in South India and has got lot of newslinks associated with them and prominent name in Construction Industry . May i know what are the flaws in the page .

Thanks . Hello SwisterTwister I am confused as to why my submission Mike Stanley Filmmaker was declined. You note that it should have news and magazine coverage. This article does have news and magazine coverage. There was reference made to a Fox 2 News interview and a Best Picture show interview. As for magazine coverage there is mention of three magazines in references, Cinemagic, Fangoria and B's Nest. B's Nest contains an interview with Mr. Stanley. These were all obtained from an archive page which also contains news articles on Mr. Stanley for a span of a period of nine years at: http://filmlabshowcase.wix.com/filmlab#!news-articles/c14xp I have also included more recent web posts on Mr. Stanley. His career spans 30 years. I believe there is more than enough to show he is notable. Thank you. Indiefanatic Indiefanatic (talk) 18:52, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello SwisterTwister, I'm new to Wikipedia and would like a chance to rewrite my article about JAFRA Cosmetics.

Please let me know if it's possible to restore the page. Thanks! - Eternalstyle (talk) 18:56, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

If you want to recreate the article, you'll need to show it's notable meaning it has received significant third-party coverage from newspapers and magazines that talk about the company in-depth. Also, details such as the mission statement, usage of "we", "our" and "us" may be appropriate on the company's own website but not here as that sounds promotional and suggests ownership. Rather than adding it yourself, consider using Wikipedia:Articles for creation where a user such as myself can review it beforehand. Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 04:48, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Also, the multiple mentions in RS newspapers count, I think. But thanks for getting back to me so quickly! Origamite^ⓣⓒ 05:44, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

WP:NPEOPLE: Multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability, which I did somewhat in the "Published" section. However, if you don't think that's right, it's my first article, which is why I put it up at AfC, even after 3,000 edits. Origamite^ⓣⓒ 05:47, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I highly agree but I don't see much of a solid article with that information. If she had participated in a highly reported incident or other news-worthy event or won any notable awards, that would be something different. Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 05:55, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I didn´t understand the last part of the message you left me after the revision of the page I´ve created callled The Berimbot. The part I didn´t understand is - this article would be better mentioned under the lab's article or something else relevant. What do you mean by that? This is my first article and everything here is new to me. Thanks a lot.

I guess I'm confused regarding my references. The references listed are reputable in the virtual reality world, just like Road & Track would be for cars. I agree that the article could be longer. As far as the significance of the Infinadeck, I assume you may not be familiar with locomotion in the virtual world. There are two products currently out there, e.g. the Virtuix Omni, but none are mechanical. That is what makes the Infinadeck notable. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regarding New Article "Yasmina" by Yasmina Fan

Hello Swister twister,thanks for reviewing my article. I reviewed Criteria for Musicians Notability on this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music) Parts which I think are enough for Notability. -point number 4 in Notability was "Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country". I have added references that mentioned Yasmina's participation in many national concerts in Egypt. -point number 6 was " is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles " I have added references that mentioned Yasmina has been a member of 2 known Ensembles in Egypt.-point number 8 is "Has won or been nominated for a major music award" Yasmina received a music award from Egyptian Minister of Culture,is this prize not major enough? -point number 9 was "Has won or placed in a major music competition." Yasmina has participated in Arabs got talent Competition , while this competition is not only for musicians , its probably the biggest "Got Talent" spin off as it includes participants from 22 countries , and Yasmina was the only singer or musician to reach the final , effectively beating all others including Nadia Azzi who already has a wikipedia page. -point number 10 was "Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show" I put link to her performances in 2 TV shows (She performed 3 songs in each show). Please give me feedback are all these points not enough for Notability ? Thanks.

Thanks for your time Link for edited article draft : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Yasmina —

Thanks for your comments.

As far as I can see Friday Brown does meets the music 'notability' requirements of Wikipedia by winning international singing competitions and her television work: I’ve also indicated the period over which she was active. I used the phrase 'Friday Brown is' because she's still alive, rather than active. I suppose saying 'popular music singer-songwriter' could be confusing, but that was the arena in which she worked, popular music. It wasn’t intended to indicate her degree of popularity.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello SwisterTwister,

I am trying to figure out why this would be marked for deletion. In all things new such as the speed for technology today we will see changes in traditional concepts and new ones evolving.

The internet-of-things will impact and change business models and one of the most important going forward will be protecting digital data assets. Traditional recordkeeping and library, archive methodologies for 'preservation' do not cater and will not be suitable for digital data asset management. Whilst the concept and term of digital perpetuation is only just evolving one could same the same for a lot of new terms. Why is it that you have such a problem with this word and its objective for differentiation and clarification.

Even if you delete this the term will not go away. It is already out there in publication on professional website libraries and will be available in the Queensland archives shortly. Therefore whilst it is not prominent now like all new evolutions so is there the introduction to new terms of reference it takes time and one would had thought that the wikipedia was a progressive environment and keen to be seen to staying in touch technology and the changing global environment.

Thank you for your time. Linda Shave — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.173.192.215 (talk) 07:38, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Regarding deletion of Al Wathba

Hello, How are you ? First of all thanku for reviewing my 1st wiki post.

You nominated my post to be deleted as there is some "lawsuit" filed against it. I reviewed the article and i couldn't able to find anything against al wathba. I have copied Conclusion of the post for the reference "This case is an example of the difficulties that can arise in the absence of clear drafting. while courts are always keen to give effect to the intentions of the parties to a freely negotiated contract, this is only possible where those intentions are made plain. Those clauses that are commonly considered ‘boilerplate’ (such as the ‘law and jurisdiction’ clause), are of essential importance when disputes arise and inserting plain, unambiguous wording must not be overlooked at the drafting stage."

The Egyptian ship owner want to seek the justice outside the UAE law & order and It is clearly stated in all insurance documents that all the law and order are subjected to UAE court only.

And this article is helping the user that everybody should read and agree all the terms and conditions before going for any insurance.

This type of small court case for such a big insurance company is not a big issues.

Please review the article and advise me corrections so that newbies like me will also become contributor to wiki.

Hello, I am one of Mr. Lantz's professors from Ghidotti Early College High School and I was wondering what your best advice would be on where to look for more notable sources. Mr. Lantz is graduating high school this year and I thought it was so rare for someone of his age, being only 17, to receive not just one college degree but two before finishing high school. Not to mention the fact he has 75 college credits completed already. I understand notability is of huge importance to Wikipedia, so if this continues to be a concern for him having his own article, would there be any chance he could merge into another page, like that of Dual enrollment. After all the volunteer work and service he has done for the school, we all wanted to give something back to him before he heads off to college, and he had always dreamed of having a Wikipedia article of his own. Thank you so much for your time and feedback. It is greatly appreciated.

Well, aside from starring in one documentary and receiving two diplomas before high school (I'm not sure if anyone has else accomplished this) there's not much notability and the article could seem promotional because of that. News coverage is always good and if it's in-depth that's even better. He could be mentioned at another article if it's outstanding such as if he is the only one to ever receive diplomas before high school. If there was an article for the documentary, he could be mentioned there but I'm not sure how significant his role in that was. If not, I'm afraid there's nothing to suggest mentioning him. Considering his young age, this also affects the low amount of good sources. Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 23:07, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

I am not certain why the amount of sources or their notability is an issue in the article I wrote. According to Wikipedia's guidelines on notability "Sources used to support a claim of notability include independent, reliable publications in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations[3] except for the following"

Two of my sources are from highly regarded newspapers and the third is a CNN interview which is a national coverage. If you could please explain what makes these 3 sources not notable enough I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hello SwisterTwister,

I have submitted, and was denied, a page for Freedom Network USA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Freedom_Network_USA. This message is in response to your comment on the submission: The article contains too many primary links and thus needs more third-party sources like good news coverage.

I do want to thank you for your time in reviewing my submission. As I am completely new to this process, I would love to get your feedback as far as how I can improve the submission to wikipedia standards. This organization is doing great, reputable work in the field of human trafficking, and it would be great to have wikipedia representation.

I felt I followed the guideline regarding 'notability' by providing sources that adhere to: "reliable sources independent of the organization have discussed it." These sites include:

[[ http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/President-Obama-Announces-Another-Key-State-Department-Post/%7Cwhitehouse.gov]], which is the official governmental website of The White House and President Barack Obama of the United States

The United States Department of Justice website at, source content mentioned at: http://www.justice.gov/usao/nye/pr/2013/2013sep20.html

The submission contains 23 third-party resources, while supplementing with 10 resources directly from Freedom Network regarding Leadership and internal processes. How many third-party references are typically required to consider the evidence as sufficient? It is an option to remove all internal resources and only provide third-party if necessary. Is there a golden ratio to strive for?

Organizations used as reference including CAST LA and CIW have been existence for many years and have received great notability in the United States and globally. Both CAST LA and CIW are member organizations of Freedom Network USA.

CAST LA was honored by The United Nations, as evidenced [[ http://www.castla.org/cast-at-the-united-nations%7Chere]] and in the submission. CIW was recognized with the 2014 Clinton Global Citizen Award, and the 2015 Presidential Medal.

I am providing this additional information because I want to inquire about how to provide more reputable resources to represent the success and notability of the Freedom Network USA. If you have suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any help and assistance!

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Luz

Dan Morrell entry

Dear SwisterTwister.

I am having difficulty understanding why you rejected my submitted biographical entry for Dan Morrell. There are numerous links to other websites and references to highly reputable third-party sources. Dan Morrell is clearly a notable figure, being a leading and active pioneer in several notable areas of current interest and the person who coined the term 'carbon neutral', one of the most significant terms of the age. He is also the subject of a forthcoming biography by the well-known writer/journalist Rosie Boycott. This very night CHANT Live, the band he started with the famous record producer Martin Glover are playing in front of an expected 30,000 crowd at Stonehenge. So I would be very grateful if you could point out the problems to help me get it right. I offered to get this organised for Dan, so I find myself in a tricky situation.

Explanation requested to your revert

Hi I see youve reverted sourced references to the article on Seeman can you please explain why?

Because I'm not sure why it needs so many references for that particular area and per the lengthy talk at the talk page. SwisterTwister talk 20:25, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your response, I collected many references precisely because I expected trouble: even with so many references given why is there still any ambiguity wrt the person's name? Why are edits reverting the persons first name being allowed and why arent THOSE edits being considered vandalism? Given youve also read through the talk page, do you buy the arguments supporting the case for removing the persons first name? Do you believe so many sources made the same "printing mistake" and expect a passport/birth certificate to substantiate the first name? Thanks once again for responding.

I'd take whatever looks most sensible. SwisterTwister talk 21:47, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

 Good.  I am interested in having a honest discussion with a neutral entity here and I am glad if I can take this up with you.  Can you please list what was your deciding factor in concluding that the person's first name is ambiguous?  If the different sources dont seem to convince you, what did you find about the argument against the given name in the talk page that convinced you?  You obviously cant find the printing mistake theory sensible.  
If your argument is to go by most common usage, I agree partially, the first name need not be mentioned everywhere, but has to be mentioned in wiki as adding it makes the article more comprehensive.  The sources listing the first name has to be done justice for.  Can I list this under "Birth/Other names"?

About your last paragraph, yes. SwisterTwister talk 23:04, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

I am thankful for your reasonable response. I will add this name in the Born section of the article. But, I believe this will not be over, there will be comebacks but I am sure you will be as vigilant with them as you were with me.

Rushing to AFD

I urge you , in all sincerity, to slow down and spend a little more time on WP:BEFORE. With something like Abdulla al-Hadj, rushing to AFD after searching for a transliterated name under the particular spelling that happened to appear on the page was, well... Just please slow down and try a few variant searches when dealing with long-standing, or even with new articles that have at least one source and are prima facie plausible. But especially wnen dealing with names that are transliterated from another alphabet. If I sound exasperated, it is because I can see that you do constant, thankless, yoeman's labor bringing a lot of bad, mostly new articles to AFD. But I also spend a lot of time checking assertions you make about lack of sources that turn out to have merely been careless searches. Maybe try just tagging for notability sometimes, especially when working in unfamiliar territory. E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:04, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

I hear you but I often like other users will nominate it because it's still a concern and others may have better access to sourcing past my abilities (foreign language, offline, etc.). I often consider opening an RfC but think AfD may be a better option sometimes if it seems too troubling. It's worth noting I'll try and improve the article as much as I can like you and also tag it as needed. Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 19:19, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Assessing copyright

Hello. :) In reviewing listings at WP:SCV, I see that you removed a CSB notice from Green Party of Malaysia with a note that "Nothing blatant here."

I'm afraid you may have overlooked the issue, as content I just removed from the article was copied verbatim from the source. For a particularly egregious example:

Article text

Source text

Fifty-odd years after independence from British colonial rule, Malaysian politics has now reached the stage whereby race-based political parties no longer have any relevance or valid currency. In the past fifty plus years, race-based politics has proven to be divisive and unhealthy for our nation. This is because the issue of race has become increasingly irrelevant in the emerging political landscape of Malaysia. Politicians who play the racial card will soon find themselves with no followers, or cronies, either, for that matter.

Fifty-odd years after independence from British colonial rule, Malaysian politics has now reached the stage whereby race-based political parties no longer have any relevance or valid currency.

This is because the issue of race has become increasingly irrelevant in the emerging political landscape of Malaysia. Politicians who play the racial card will soon find themselves with no followers, or cronies, either, for that matter.

While I can't be sure how this was overlooked, I wonder if you are relying on the bots that compare text? In this case, the bots could not function properly on the page and so could not help in identifying the issue. In such situations, we have to do a visual comparison. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:12, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

In this case, I simply looked at the report. Often, I'll also watch the article for any improvement or changes. SwisterTwister talk 17:04, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Related to this, I don't really understand this removal. Fortunately, this copyright problem was reparable (and I have now repaired it), whereas the other simply required removal of copied content. Can you explain what you meant? --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:09, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Well, I first looked at the Duplicator Report (which has been extremely slow loading) and looking at the lycaeum website, it seems to have a Wiki format but I'm not sure if it is a Wiki website (searches find zero results). SwisterTwister talk 17:11, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

That the site looks like a wiki doesn't help avoid it being a blatant copyright issue, I'm afraid; there are many wikis which are not compatibly licensed with ours. It's a good idea to look at the talk page when evaluating these things; in this case, it contains the clue to resolving the copyright issue. The contributor quite rightly noted that the website she was flagged as copying actually copied from another Wikipedia article - but that means so did she, and Wikipedia's content is not public domain. In this case, the problem is fixed according to the instructions at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. If you're not able to find the issue, you might want to ask for assistance or just leave the CSB notice alone so somebody else can look. The notice offers some protection to copyright holders and our reusers in the event that infringement does occur, as it at least alerts them to the problem. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:12, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Wiki love mislabeled?

After posting recently to Liz's talk page, I scanned up and was startled to see that I had sent her a wiki love message. At the moment it says "Sphilbrick has given you a fresh pie!" After a tiny bit of investigation, it appears that the editor name is replaced with whomever last edited the page. I haven't looked closely enough to see why this is so, but wanted to bring it to your attention. Do you see the same thing I see? I wondered if somehow it displays whoever is currently viewing the page although I don't know how to do that.--S Philbrick(Talk) 18:45, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Gogo Dodo Whether a bot or not, they may not be familiar with how the website works and may be getting there through random articles (random article button included). SwisterTwister talk 20:34, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

That's what I meant. I think they are hitting the random article button. The Rezidence.lk account was likely not a bot due to the way it made a new section. VoIP4CallCenters may be, but probably not.

DYKs

Hi.

DYK is to showcase new content. For Lester Dragstedt I cannot see how it would qualify for DYK, it is not new, it is not expanded 5 times in the last week, and it is not a Good article. Similarly Woolrich has not improved much in the last week. Similarly for Broadnose sevengill shark your improvements were in June, so it is a bit late to nominate in August (and I suspect not a 5× size boost). And for Sharpnose sevengill shark nothing has changed since February. So unfortunately they would all fail a DYK nomination. Sorry to let you hear the bad news. For many years I avoided DYK because I thought it was too complicated, and then I found it hard to get something ready in 5 days after I started it. My name is on the list as someone who can move stuff to the queue. But I also do some reviews and nominations. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:37, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Graeme Bartlett Hmm, very well, I thought those snippets that I listed were interesting enough for a DYK (especially judging from what I see pass as DYK sometimes). It's worth mentioning I would've nominated them myself sooner if it wasn't I find the DYK listing process too challenging. FYI, I never mentioned sharpnose sevengill shark for DYK (only broadnose). SwisterTwister talk 06:42, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

The hooks are fine, it is just the articles are not new enough. To qualify you could upgrade them to good article status! Or the next article you start could perhaps qualify. I can still help you nominate one if you want assistance. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:21, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Re your message: Per the outcome of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Julia Winter, the article should be a redirect. No additional claim towards notability has been added in the recent edits. There were no additional roles added or reliable citations establishing her notability beyond Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Jordan Fry at least has additional roles since Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and there has been no AfD regarding the article, so it could be argued either way (redirect or full article). You might consider listing the article for AfD to settle the matter.

Also you likely have a logged out sockpuppet of FrozenFan2. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:51, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Removing CSB tags

Hello, SwisterTwister. In reviewing the SCV listing for August 6th, I see that you removed the CSB tag from this article with a note saying "Fixing slight copy."

There are several issues with this action.

First, if the external site were copyright owner of that content, your fixes would not address the copyright problem.

External site text	Wikipedia article text	Your changes to text
The flag of Bulgaria (Bulgarian: знаме на България, [znɑmɛ nɑ bɤ̞ɫˈɡɑrijɐ]) is a tricolor consisting of three equal-sized horizontal bands of (from top to bottom) white, green, and red. The flag was first adopted after the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878), where Bulgaria gained independence. The national flag at times was charged with the state emblem, especially during the People's Republic of Bulgaria. The current flag was re-established with the 1991 Constitution of Bulgaria and was confirmed in a 1998 law.

The flag was first adopted after the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878), where Bulgaria gained independence.

At times, the national flag was charged with the state emblem, especially during the People's Republic of Bulgaria. The current flag was re-established with the 1991 Constitution of Bulgaria and was confirmed in a 1998 law.

Your edits are too minimal to eradicate the taking of creative content from that source and would at best constitute a derivative work. To eradicate copying concerns, content must be completely rewritten, not modified. Changes like moving words from "The national flag at times was charged " to read "At times, the national flag was charged" will not address the issue. (Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing explains why not in a little more detail.)

However, in this case the external site does not own the copyright. They are in fact copying from the article Flag of Bulgaria. Thus, the copyright infringement is internal from the authors of that article and all the other articles copied into that page. It can be fixed by adding attribution, as discussed earlier, but that attribution is mandatory.

I'm repairing the copyright problems with that article. If you're going to rewrite content that is copied, please be sure to do so from scratch as policy requires. If possible, please be conscious in your new page reviewing of the possibility of copying from mirrors and fix such copyvios caused by copying content without legally required attribution by providing that attribution. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:55, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Moonriddengirl Yes, I remember that one well but there wasn't much to change without affecting the article's sensibility so I did the best I could (fixing the most outstanding to me). SwisterTwister talk 19:00, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

If copyrighted content can't be removed without affecting the article's sensibility, we delete the article. Or the section. Or whatever it takes to get rid of the copyright violation. You can even blank the article or the section with {{copyvio}} and leave it for somebody else to handle. It is one of our core policies and one of our chief legal policies that content on Wikipedia must be legal. If it's not, it has to go. Please don't remove the CSB notice if you can't figure out how to fix the problem. Let somebody else handle it who does. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:20, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

When you do want to nominate multiple pages at one time, there's aspecial procedure, given at WP:AFD. I consider it unduly complicated, and it can't be done with Huggle. I've used it a very few times, but what I usually do is nominate the articles separately, but next to each other., by preparing them first, and then clicking submit for both within a few seconds. DGG ( talk ) 16:53, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

DGG I've considered it and often will but I find these articles randomly (especially searching for long-lived fabricated ones) so I never know what I'll find. Speaking of fabricated, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Robichaux is nearing snow delete and the subject appeared quite fabricated. Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 18:45, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Problem is, doing it by just adding the name in the Afd rationale does not set up the page notices & templates. DGG ( talk ) 04:11, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

AfD Aftermath American Band

I was surprised to see this page nominated for deletion a few days ago. Even more surprised that you wanted to delete it for now despite what you wrote about your own research. The band has a 30 year history that includes countless magazine articles by the largest metal magazines in the world. Multiple labels have released their material in fact Shadow Kingdom Records reissued their Eyes of Tomorrow record yesterday. Blabbdermouth.net featured their comeback last month. That site has 3 million unique visitors a month. The band was also feature in Gary Sharpe Young's book A-Z of Thrash Metal. Included on the Metal Forces' Compilation Scream Your Brains Out. And they sued Dr. Dre for trademark infringement. In terms of citations, the lawsuit is cited, the record labels are listed, the book is cited. How and what needs to be done to improve the citations?

Why does everyone keep erasing Drover's Secret Life?

Hi, I created the page Drover's Secret Life. Since it's inception, everyone has been bent on erasing it, even though it is notable. Why is it that there an individual article for every single Twilight character, when those books have such terrible reviews, but something that has won multiple awards keeps being reverted? I'm just wondering what the reasoning behind this is. White Arabian mare (talk) 01:06, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

I hear you (I'm very much not a fan of Twilight) but it's a matter of there's enough for an (notable) article. SwisterTwister talk 01:41, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I hate Twilight too. It's just that Hank the Cowdog has won several awards, and there's actually a request on the talk page (from 2008) for each book to have its own article. I had written a complete summary, character list, and added references, and then another user erased it all. Sigh.😔 White Arabian mare (talk) 16:24, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:Chet Bowers (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Regarding your review and rejection of Draft: Chet Bowers, Your comment was that the subject "seems" notable but that the article needs more third party references and you name newspapers and media in particular. The references I have included are published, third party (under Wikipedias own definition of third party) comments that refer to the subject or his work. These references come from people who have their own established careers as best selling authors, researchers, educators, lawyers, etc. Just guessing, but I'd say that more people have been notable in their fields and have had a notable impact within their genre, than have been interviewed by CNN or Newsweek. I will add more references but I was attempting to keep the article as succinct and simple as possible.C S Chaffee (talk) 16:45, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Dropping in, C S Chaffee, an extensive ideas section like you used is usually inappropriate here. Justifying an inclusion by saying that someone said "This book would never have come without the years of mentorship offered to all of us by Chet Bowers." is not appropriate either, because in a forward, authors normally cite everyone they can think of, as it's taken as an insult to be omitted. Such forwards in book are basically mutual back-scratching. An extensive quote from a review is not used either, if the reviewer is not an authority--most academic book reviews are done by junior people. You cannot say "Bowers' experience with both Western and aboriginal cultures, in addition to his contact with scholars representing a broad range of disciplines, " unless there's a reliable 3rd party source. The external links are excessive. Please read WP:EL--one link to his principal website is sufficient, not a link to amazon, and not al ink to misc places where a notice of one of his lectures is posted.

multiple nominations

I don't think handling 5 different bios in one afd is a practical idea, and I closed as non-consensus to allow an immediate renomination. For one thing, it makes it hard to discuss. For another, it makes it hard to close: you seem to have missed one or more of the intricate steps in the manual procedure; one article never got a notice at all, and after the close most of the others didn't update right, and I had to go around updating the talk pages and the articles pages one at a time. When I try it, I usually make some mistake also, so I've stopped trying to use it even when the topics are very closely related. If you do want to use it, stick to two, and verify that both pages get the right notices and that they clear properly after the afd. DGG ( talk ) 16:39, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

DGG I hear you but I was hoping to save the trouble of separate nominations and clicks and there were not per se connected but were about the size and in terms of sourcing (questionably notable). FWIW, I made Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ESR Technology with four instead. I'll start the renominations shortly because I feel those all need to be deleted.

Hi everybody,

The article on "Asiem El Difraoui" was published simultaneously in German and French, both of which have been carefully reviewed and accepted. The submitted version in English contains references to major books and award-winning films created and produced by Mr. El Difraoui. Could you therefor please explain why you consider that the submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability? I can only imagine that there's been a mistake.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Careful with WP:CANVAS

As you stated you have did so at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zuma: Tales of a Sexual Gladiator, it might be seen as inappropriate to "ping" users who in the past have opined for deleting many other adult film related articles. In notifying others it IS appropriate under WP:AFD#After nominating: Notify interested projects and editors to review an article's edit history and send a neutral note to any who had made sunbstantial contributions to that article. Cheers Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 22:27, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

MichaelQSchmidt As long as they are interested with that topic and can give feedback about it (whether delete or not), there is consensus. Unlike others, I like to notify anyone who can give a useful comment including past contributors or interested users (who only seem to opine for deletion because they are familiar with that topic). Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 23:14, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Were actual article contributors notified?? Or interested projects?? Or were editors "pinged" who advocated "keeps"??? Their personal "Interest" aside, if an editor does little to improve such topics and is widely known for !voting at AFDs for the removal of such content, bringing their attention to an AFD they would likely find all by themselves could be seen as a possible attempt at Votestacking even were that not the intention. As perception is everything here, I only urge caution. Best, Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 23:24, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Help - Self-Promotion and COI Attack by Competitor

Hello, LauraMaurer recommended that I reach out to you for help. Below is a modified message I had sent to FreeRangeFrog and Wikipedia complaint and have heard NOTHING. I also put this message on the talk pages for Peter Rhse and BU Rob13 as well.

Help is needed. This is Model Mugging regarding evidence of self-promotion and COI regarding attack on us by competitor.

There has been no reply to the talk on Model Mugging. This editing game Wikipedia has does not seem to have any standard rules, especially for libel-slanderous behavior. The last edits to the Model Mugging editing war are wrong.

In a prior edit, Peter Rehse wrote “Wikipedia is not here to advertise any entity but to provide information” – I ask whether rumors is providing information because it falls into Wiki’s tabloid journalism definition. The author of that article says she is writing about rumors.

Why are Wikipedia editors insisting on a source that the author admits to being rumors and from another lying Wikipedia editor?

I am hopeful, because upon reviewing the history of the Model Mugging page, Wikipedia editors saw what Impact was doing in 2005 as self-promotion and personal advertisement. Model Mugging was unaware what Impact was doing at that time.

It is my hope you are simply unaware of what Impact is up to again in 2015.

Do you see a problem with Impact self-advertisement? I put a picture summary report together with a small amount of historical background – please click to view summary report: http://modelmugging.org/history/impact-self-defense-wikipedia-attack.pdf

I have identified tag teaming efforts of Nefariousski in latest Impact Self-Defense attack against us. She is loaded with hypocritical contradictions such as COI, biographies of living persons (BLP), lack of editing balance, failure of editing in a NPOV, disregard to consensus for disputes, using an unreliable source to make libel-slanderous statements. And she is involved in a campaign to promote a competitor, Impact Self-Defense.

The Impact group has repeated misquoted a training incident that occurred 30 years ago that made it into a tabloid magazine written by Peri in Mother Jones. The American Press Association Principles of Journalism identifies "journalism‘s first obligation is to the truth, and also discipline of verification. . ." as listed on the APA website. The Peri article violates the APA’s principles. The source also falls into Wikipedia tabloid journalism definition and sensationalism.

Nefariousski and other writers insist on using the term ‘sexual assault’, which is not used in the article. Even after Nefariousski was corrected by FreeRangeFrog about her inappropriateness of using the term “sexual assault”, she insisted on using it. Additional editors have also changed the current line to be even more inaccurate. However, ‘rumor’ is used numerous times. Peri writes, “The staff of Women Defending Ourselves had finally begun to feel empowered, but it was a passive sort of empowerment, based on whispers and rumor campaigns instead of direct confrontation.” A 25 plus year old rumor campaign is exactly what Nefariousski, as Impact, is doing!

How is this single source claiming rumors thereby reliable? Mother Jones was not a major publication in 1990, especially when publishing admitted rumors and is loaded with misinformation?

Nefariousski-Impact tag team planned to link the Wikipedia ESD page to a derogatory Model Mugging Wikipedia page highlighting a tabloid source written with accusation heading, “controversy”. Impact also wrote a promotional page and pasted it into her Sandbox. They are also getting around Wikipedia rules against self-promotion using Wikipedia search engine ranking by keeping their page in the sandbox status - FIRST PAGE on search results for "Empowerment Self-Defense".

PLEASE CLICK the pdf link as evidence to view images in summary report of her COI campaign promoting Impact Self-Defense - again: http://modelmugging.org/history/impact-self-defense-wikipedia-attack.pdf

Is this "nefarious" behavior? Should she be blocked and all her edits scrutinized? Does Wikipedia see a problem with hypocritical editor(s)?

I had written a response in Model Mugging Talk PRIOR to discovering the ESD page.

We need the Model Mugging site corrected and will also need protection against other Impact organizational associates tag teaming inaccurate edits.

Thank you for your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiipedia-posting (talk • contribs) 03:55, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi SwisterTwister I have questions about draft:lynne Reeves Griffin. You stated that the sources were not reliable and I'm just confused as they are almost all articles in major newspapers. Also, you left a comment that the article could use more sources. Was there a section in particular that you would like to see more sources for? And what type of sources if not newspaper articles? Thanks! Goldencam (talk) 21:21, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello SwisterTwister! (If I'm not in the right place, please let me know and I'll never show up here again! Should I go to the Tea House instead? This is my first Wiki experience.)

Thank you for reviewing my recent contribution (referenced above). I'm not clear on two points: -- You note that it reads more like a report or essay than an encyclopedic article; what do you mean specifically? ==> Is there somewhere I can look up this distinction? ==> What types of changes would I need to make to render the article acceptable? -- You also encourage me to use secondary, reliable info, using no original research. ==> Nothing that appears in the article is my material, and I include references to approximately 78 distinct, verifiable sources (links are provided), so I'm not sure what to make of that note?

I thank you for any help or guidance that you are able to provide! Furbierules Furbierules (talk) 17:43, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello again SwsterTwister - Furbie rules again. ;-) Can you tell me if Part I (What is Memory Reconsolidation?) meets the encyclopedic standards? Is it Parts II and III that pose a problem because they contain statements of implication/application? Just trying to see where the problems lie specifically! Thanks again. Furbierules (talk) 17:53, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey Furbie The article looks good but it's parts like "What is....?" and "how it works" that are usually not used. There's also currently an article for memory consolidation and the start of this article doesn't seem to differ from that. Simply take your time and know there is no deadline and resubmit when improved. Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 19:15, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

11:39, 5 October Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Byakuren Kaikan

Hello and thank you for your welcome. I'm a new user and not that used to the world of Wikipedia. My first effort to contribute to the encyclopedia is the article on the Byakuren Kaikan, which now risks to be deleted for reasons I can't say I really agree with. Anyway, I added as much references and sources I can, although most of them are in Japanese. As for today I added more articles I could find on some magazines, please check the discussion page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Byakuren_Kaikan

Also, I would like to know if there is anything else I could do to prevent this page from being deleted as it costed me time and effort to create it and I'd like it to be a reference for anyone looking for information on this style on the web in English.

Thanks a lot for your attention.

OK I will try to improve the page incorporating more sources.

Bruce Judson page

Thank you for patrolling the page on Bruce Judson. I know that autobiography articles are strongly discouraged. However, this may be a case where I meet the notability guidelines. If you agree, can you remove the warnings on the page, and/or review it for a neutral tone?

Notability:

--I have written four books released by major US publishers such as Scribner and HarperCollins, and as indicated in verifiable press articles cited in the Wikipedia article I am a bestselling author.

--In it's first ever list, Advertising Age named me as one of the nation's leading Cybermarketers (verified in Wikipedia article) (i.e. the magazine recognized my influence on the Internet advertising business).

--I was the co-founder of the Yale Journal on Regulation, which has a Wikipedia page.(verified in Wikipedia article)

--I was the co-founder of Pathfinder which has a Wikipedia page.(verified in Wikipedia article)

--The biographer Walter Isaacson credits me with inventing the concept of the banner ad, in two verifiable interviews.(verified in Wikipedia article)

--As indicated in the Wikipedia article, I was the subject of featured (verifiable) profiles or interview articles, in print and online, in the Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur Magazine (twice), and Advertising Age.(verified in Wikipedia article)

--A bestselling book, "Burn Rate", includes several pages about me in discussing the origins of the Internet advertising business (verified in Wikipedia article with Business Week review of the book, also Google "Bruce Judson, Burn Rate, Michale Wolff and the pages in the book come up).

--There are many more press interviews and quotes from me (including the New York Times front page) which are not in the Wikipedia article but can be verified. (is more necessary?)

2 quick questions (hopefully)

Hi. First, always a pleasure working with you on AfD and AfC. Thanks for all the efforts you put in on both projects. My first question is that I notice you sometimes close AfD's that end up as delete. I've only closed a few, and they've always been keep. If it's a delete determination, I know how to close the discussion, but can I, since I can't delete the article? Second, in one of your comments at AfD I noticed you said you were going back over articles which have been tagged for notability for a while. Is there some type of search that I could use to help with that? I patrol new pages, but don't like deleting them and discouraging new editors (unless it's so obvious). Thanks. Onel5969 <sup>TT me</sup> 20:52, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Onel5969 Ah yes, I use Special:RandomInCategory particularly searching Orphaned articles, Articles with a promotional tone and Articles lacking sources. You can also range by date for example: Orphaned articles from February 2009. I've heavily been searching and searching through and at first searched more for fabricated articles (see Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia) but now include articles that are questionably to inclusion thus taken to AfD. I have literally filled my notes with articles I have found while binge searching so it would be nice to have some help. As you may notice at some I've nominated, I have found some articles that simply needed to be taken care when started or tagged (see Vantrix) and because of its orphan nature, no one simply ever found it again. Not to mention, because of these orphans, some articles for companies and bands are basically now useless because they may have closed by now and otherwise non-existent so that's especially targeted for AfD. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 20:58, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Liam Payne Draft

Hi. I see that you denied the Liam Payne draft claiming that it does not meet not the notability standards of Wikipedia and I'm just curious as to how that is. I have gone through the standards multiple times and he absolutely meets them. It is mind boggling to me that a member of the biggest band in the world for the last five years, who has completed projects on his own with world famous artists and producers, who is the only member of the band to work as an individual on a world famous media publication, who has more followers on social media than some countries have people, who has the notoriety for a joke tweet to impact a multibillion dollar corporation and I could continue with countless other reasons which were in my draft, which I'm assuming you have not actually properly read, is less notable than half the people that are given individual wikipedia pages. So I ask that you please explain to me how specifically does he not meet the standards because I'm having a really hard time understanding?

Additionally, I know you stated " Comment: Although he seems to have gotten some attention since starting a solo path, he may still be best known for the group and thus there may not be much for a separate article yet. SwisterTwister talk 06:20, 11 October 2015 (UTC)," but then by these standards how is it that any of the other members have solo pages as they too have more notoriety as members of the band, than as individuals.

Sources for Rejected Article

Hello,

You recently rejected a draft for a page on a man named Domenico Tranaso: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Domenico_Tranaso&redirect=no

Your reason was that more sources are needed. I found one more source on him, but it does not appear to be related to the event that he is most known for. I'm going to add it anyway. Additionally, there's another potential source (I'm 99% sure that it pertains to him and his attempted takeover of Altamura), however it has to be purchased online in order to be read: http://www.torrossa.it/resources/an/2941719. Would these two sources potentially be enough to warrant a Wikipedia page on him?

This 650-word article contains references from three major newspapers, two books by noted publishers, and three independent web sites, so the comment "needs more available sources overall" doesn't provide enough information to help improve the article. Please provide specific guidance as to the following:

1) What portions of the article are not adequately sourced? 2) Which of the sources are not reliable or otherwise not adequate? 3) What amount of sourcing would be considered adequate, so that sources can be found and added?

Thank you.

Ari Norman Article

Hi SwisterTwister - you have just declined my article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ari_Norman which is very frustrating because I have worked on the citations over a long period of time including visits to the library and although one reviewer questioned citations originally, they have both (Onel5069 and Sulfurboy) now accepted the citations were good enough and offered advice on the formal tone which has now been rectified. So this is a retrograde development. I have also been on the wikipedia help forum and had approval for the citations when asked for help. Please can you explain why you have declined these sources which I and others would consider reliable. One article I was not able to link to as it is not online but have referenced extensively based on library copy, I am happy to forward to you as an image. This is from a well known and credible newspaper. Many of the other sources are from regional and national newspapers, some from globally respected journals and another from a well known industry book on hallmarking. You have noted that this is a start but I have used over 20 different sources so please could you advise how many more you believe are needed.

Redirect deletion - Akamai

There is an article Akamai Techs., Inc. v. Limelight Networks that is equally or more notable than the mere company name, since it drastically changed infringement law. It would be better to have no redirect from the bare word Akamai than to have the company rather than the case. Also "akamai" is a word by itself in Hawaiian (means "smart" or "intelligent"). The disambiguation page also shows another meaning.

It would therefore be better to redirect to the disambiguation page. I propose that as n NPOV compromise. PraeceptorIP (talk) 16:47, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Bob Hardwick

Hello, SwisterTwister, I'm trying to help a new editor who came to the Teahouse looking for direction on improving Draft:Bob Hardwick so that it can pass AfC review. However, I myself am not clear on why the submission was declined. There are three references cited which are from reliable sources and constitute more than mere mentions of Hardwick and his band; and they have performed at a notable event, namely the Obama inauguration, which seems to satisfy another of the specific music-related notability criteria. (Apparently the band also played the Kentucky Derby, per cited sources, though that isn't mentioned in the article as yet; I'm not sure whether performing at that event would also contribute towards notability.) Could you explain why the cited sources do not establish Hardwick's notability, and/or specify what kind of sources or other proofs of notability would be sufficient?

Hello SwisterTwister, thanks for your comment. The article contains links to 12 sources (with one source linking to a PDF with more than 20 newspaper clippings). All are French (or Dutch) as there are the languages where key references are available in. They were all scanned from printed articles from the sixties and seventies. One of the reasons I posted the article is that there is almost no online information on Germaine Brus whereas I found a lot of printed information in that period. I will add some additional English-spoken urls (like Artnet), but these (in comparison) only contain very limited information on the artist.

Hi SwisterTwister,

Thank you so much for taking the time to review my article. I wanted some advice on how I could improve my sources to show that the subject is in fact notable for wikipedia. The page was Kid Pan Alley. It was declined once before and featured half dozen credible sources but I went back in and found another 8 even more credible sources including full features from NPR, Morning Addition, West Hawaii Today (newspaper), Lodinews (paper and TV feature) and news station WDBJ7. These aren't just mentions but rather full features. It even includes sources to each award they've been nominated for and won from those respective organizations. I also made all the correction that were asked of me after the first review. The article is carefully linked to other wikipedia pages (and hopefully visa versa once approved) and I've carefully read the examples of what is considered notable and what is not and I can seem to figure out how to get this article accepted.

How can an organization who receives so much coverage, been around so long, and impacted so many lives be something that isn't considered notable? I understand that wikipedia isn't an encyclopedia of everything that exists, but even some of their newer, smaller, partner organizations (ways I came to learn about them) have wikipedia pages with little to no sources (and I know, that's not a fair claim) but I just want to get to the bottom of what I can do to have this article published. Thank you kindly!

October 18 Crystal Yates page deletion

Hi there, thanks for your looking over the page I created. I'm curious as to why it was declined/rejected when I have many many notable sources cited, and other current articles such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennie_Lee_Riddle only has 2 sources, one is the Texas birth records and the other is a bio on her website, and it's still active? Can you give me some more insight? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willmuzik (talk • contribs) 06:06, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello Willmuzik, the article still needs any more available sources and, yes, even Jennie Lee Riddle will need some but that one article will be safe from deletion because it has chartings and awards. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 06:09, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Draft Batman: Detective No.27

Hi, I created the page Draft:Batman: Detective No. 27 as I found a {Batman: Detective No. 27 (page does not exist)} red colored link within the List of Elseworlds publications page. This being my first article I consulted the "Edit source" section of some other pages which were blue colored links within the List of Elseworlds publications page like Batman: Two Faces, Batman: Nine Lives etc. I referenced the DC Comics website article (first-party source) and the Grand Comics Database (third-party source) in the reference list. As I thought listing the others references ,ie, the Comic Book Database (third-party source) and the DC Comics Database (third-party source) entries would be redundant I moved them to the external links section along with the previously mentioned references.

Correct me if I am wrong to think that third-party sources are considered reliable sources. It would also help me immensely if I get any kind of replies as to what I am doing incorrectly since I did not get one from the user who denied my previous submission. Thanking you in anticipation.

Ananda.mondal.cal (talk) 09:14, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

The article looks good and acceptable and also likely satisfies Books notability but still could use any more available sources. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 16:55, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:Kid Pan Alley (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi SwisterTwister,

Thanks for your comment suggesting I provide more sources to show coverage. I added two more, one from Shore News Today and Voice Of America--both full feature articles about Kid Pan Alley.

I also wanted to mention that I've discussed the article in the help chat to see other ways I could improve it in general as well as it's notability where a few people have suggested I let you know that the subject is notable because it's received (as sourced) "national coverage on NPR, national coverage on Voice of America and won a Parent's Choice Award and a received a Grammy nomination"

Please let me know if this fixes the issues regarding notability. Thank you.Ryanbenyo (talk) 20:47, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:J. Kenji Lopez-Alt (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Could you please explain in more detail why the sources fail to achieve notability? I asked a few people in the online chat help and they said that its possible that you were using this standard reason language but it was actually something else / more subtle? I actually spoke live to the initial rejector shortly after the first time, I collected more sources and he seemed to agree that the ones I added would be sufficient. And just now i checked again and was told that the NYT and New Yorker articles were substantial and good sources. Should i remove ones that only mention in passing? Do you think that the wired one talks only about the book? Do you not feel like the information in the article links to the sources?

I think that the two in depth articles (NYT and new yorker) along with the twice nominated for james beard awards (highest award in the field) should be enough to establish notability. Is the rejection actually due to notability concerns or more due to cleanup and organization?

Thanks

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeralean Talley

I wonder if you would reconsider your speedy close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeralean Talley. If you look at Wikipedia:WikiProject World's Oldest People/Article alerts, you'll see the first supercentarian listings were all deleted very clearly but the more recent discussions have a ton of keeps up front with an actual discussion afterwards (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Augusta Holtz, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marie Bernátková and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Augustine Tessier amongst others for example of the World's Oldest person not being sufficient in and of itself which is what the keeps all just said). There's a number of WP:SPAs on that topic, all of whom vote keep because they claim being the world's oldest person (or things like World's Oldest Nun or World's Oldest Jewish person or whatever) is sufficient even though it's not clearly that way. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:43, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello,

My name is Kim Renfro, and I'm a digital culture reporter for Tech Insider. I wasn't sure the best way to reach out, so here I am. Would you be interested in speaking to me about how you uncovered/removed the Jack Robichaux (fictional 19th-century serial rapist in New Orleans) page?

Jeff Nicholson page

Thanks for the review. I think this article is nearly there. Can you give me some less general and more specific constructive editing on which statements lack the strong references, and if we could cut them it would be a sound article? If this isn’t in your bandwidth, can you advise how to get this editing support from other wiki editors or sponsors? It seems like the system is a pass/fail. I’ve done considerable editing after the last fail. How can I get more constructive editing to achieve a good article rather than a fail? Thank you very much for your time.

VanceJordan (talk) 22:21, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

VanceJordan, Well to start is the fact most of the references are simply supported by the external links and the article could use heavier sources such as news and magazine rather than interviews and such. The article looks good overall but still needs this better sourcing work. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 22:24, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

A note on my talk page would have been nice instead of just reverting my close. Or even bringing it to DRV. Whatever. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:25, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

OK, I don't get what you're doing here, but I just realized that you were the person who nominated this, and not only did you revert my close, you also reverted another admin's as well. You've been blocked from editing for 3 hours to give you a chance to cool down and consider your actions. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:15, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

RoySmith, I strongly suggest you rethink this because I was not malicious at all and simply wanted a better consensus therefore there's no urgent need for this. As you may notice, I've been ever so constructive at AfD so this is completely unnecessary for an experienced user. I also hope you're not taking this sensitively because as it is I've been tired of the drama here and have been considering retirement. At best, you should've also considered mentioning NPASR (speedy renomination due to the few comments). Not to mention, I removed Sandstein's close because he had not even noticed it was relisted.

There's also no need for me to cool down because I removed the first relist and removed the second with specific comment to Sandstein. In that case, I would've also appreciated letting me know you considered closing it so I could mention relisting again. I also think it's inappropriate in that case for you to be the one to block me and I don't get why I couldn't have relisted that. Actually, I was almost going to send you a WikiCookie note about this, Roy. FWIW, I simply want to mention I have had nothing but hate comments today and while I trying to at least enjoy my birthday meal today while also dealing with drama here, I get this ridiculous block. Thank you that, no wonder Wikipedia are leaving by the moment when they get worse and worse drama here. I would also appreciated you talking about this further before making aa bold block. DGG What are your comments about this? SwisterTwister talk 21:31, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Onel5969 Can you email me? I'd like to chat with you offwiki. SwisterTwister talk 21:50, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to ping my colleagues @RHaworth, Hut 8.5, Wikimandia, Jac16888, JohnCD, Ohnoitsjamie, Mayerialscientist, and NawlinWiki: for comment and I would like an admin review because I feel RoySmith has acted in spite with this block without even notifying me of something as serious as a bold block. SwisterTwister talk 21:59, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

This block seems excessive to me. Would you agree to stop any reverts to the related AfD if unblocked?--Jezebel's Ponyo<sup>bons mots</sup> 22:01, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

That's exactly what I thought. Thanks for commenting BTW, Ponyo (I thought of pinging you but wasn't sure if you were around) and the answer to your question is yes and it would be nice if that AfD got a consensus. There is no need to block a veteran user for assuming good faith, hoping to relist for a consensus. It's also worth noting I have no malicious AfD history so there is no need to assume any. SwisterTwister talk 22:13, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm sure if at any point you had been warned that you would be blocked you would have stopped reverting, but we'll never know. What you have done is agree to discuss your concerns with the close as opposed to reverting and that makes the "cool down" block moot. I've unblocked the account. Let me know if there are any residual autoblock issues.--Jezebel's Ponyo<sup>bons mots</sup> 22:19, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

• (edit conflict)Well you certainly should not have reverted an admin closing an AfD that you started, let alone reverting two of them after the first one told you not to. That is disruptive editing. I would suggest that SwisterTwister commit to not doing this again, at which point the block will no longer be necessary. Hut 8.5 22:15, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

As such, I think this AfD should be reopened and relisted again as I had initiated as there is no urgent need to keep that closed and cause more work nominating again. SwisterTwister talk 22:18, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

• sigh* Thank you so much Ponyo, that has certainly alleviated my sufficiently stressful day as it is, not to mention making my birthday meal more enjoyable. And definitely yes to talking about this before making an inappropately bold block. SwisterTwister talk 22:21, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, SwisterTwister. You seem to be all worked up about how other people's actions were inappropriate, but I think you need to take a step back and look at your own. There's lots of things you can do if you disagree with how an AfD is closed. Contacting the closer on their talk page is pretty much the first thing that should pop into your mind. Opening a DRV might be another (although, you're likely to get pointed questions there about why you didn't try option #1 first). Taking things into your own hands and reverting the close isn't even on the list, but I gave you a freebie on that one. Where things really got out of hand is when another admin came along, re-closed the AfD, and you then reverted that close as well. You've been around long enough to know that's just not how things are done. You mention above that you've have had nothing but hate comments today. You might want to reflect on what's going on to cause people to send such comments in your direction. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:32, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps I lost a version by failing to save or something... anyway... I have cited a number of reputable sources . I'm just learning the ways of wikipedia. Can you please help me understand which facts need more citations or better citations? I had left out any site that dealt with the subject commercially but then I was told I could use those sites for sources on simple, non-controversioal facts so I put some in... I could probably link to archive.com pages also. Is that allowed? I am motivated to contribute because I happen to posses a wealth of info on an obscure but important subject. Expert help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, please could you advise on changes to make. The subject is not a minor actor and non of the roles are background. All of the television appearances have been broadcast on the main terrestrial channels in the UK, Germany and US.

Relisting AfD

I just saw the history of WP:Articles for deletion/Casey McKee. I'd like to point out that the nominator of an article at AfD is not supposed to relist the same discussion. Relisting is one of several possible actions to be taken by a closer-to-be after assessing consensus as it stands at the time, and the nominator or any other participant can not do that, see WP:RELIST. Also, participants must not undo AfD closures, and non-admins are not supposed to revert admin closures anyway (RoySmith is an admin). Kraxler (talk) 09:52, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

I noticed that you twice reverted an administrator's closure, including mine, of that AfD which you yourself started. That is disruptive editing - it is an administrator's job to close AfDs, not an involved editor's job. If you disagree with a closure, you may contest it at WP:DRV. If I see you doing something like that again, I will block you for considerably longer than three hours.  Sandstein  11:50, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Sorry to pile on but as someone who follows IAR on a daily basis even I wouldn't revert 2 admins (I wouldn't even revert 1!), I've more than once disagreed with AFD outcomes but at the end of the day you accept it and move on .... There's no point reverting everyone as it'll lead to blocks and to be totally honest you were extremely lucky to get away with a 3 hour block!, Anyway put it all behind you and move on! :) –Davey2010<sup>Talk</sup> 11:58, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback! I have a question for you: a lot of the references we have for Maralou's information are in articles published back in the 1940s-1960s, which of course aren't readily available online but we do have the hard copy clippings. Is that not adequate enough for Wikipedia? If these articles were scanned and uploaded, would that work?

If this isn't an option, would it help if I edited and shortened the article down so that just the information that can be referenced is written? There are several online articles from the Los Angeles Times dating back to the 1980s where she is mentioned and quoted, and that is a verifiable source.

You noted the article is an orphan, however it is linked from 2005 FIFA Club World Championship squads (though perhaps wasn't when you searched previously because of a spelling difference - however that was fixed before the AFD started). Also I've added references to the article that I think demonstrate the subject's notability under WP:NFOOTBALL. Nfitz (talk) 01:07, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Eugenio B. Bito-onon Jr.

Hi, thanks for reviewing this article. I reviewed the notability guidelines for politicians, and I believe that the person in question does qualify. Although he doesn't hold a high-level position (#1), I believe that he does easily pass #2. I believe that he also passes "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article" (#3). I doubt there's another mayor from the Philippines that's been interviewed internationally as often as Bito-onon, so I disagree with your assessment that the person lacks notability. I was thinking of placing this draft up for discussion at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard, but it appears that another user was criticized for taking notability claims to that board, so where should I post this if I want to have others discuss the notability of this article?

Help with AfD nomination?

Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction

I noticed that you recently accepted this draft article and moved it into article space. If I recall correctly, this topic has been a source of heated debate and intense POV pushing in the recent past and it was the subject of an AFD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction. It appears to me that the re-creation of this article through AFC is an attempt to get around the AFD result. In fact, it may even qualify for speedy deletion per WP:CSD#G4 because it is a copy of the article that was discussed at AFD. Deli nk (talk) 19:47, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Pinging users to AfD discussions

I notice that you sometimes ping users to AfD discussions. Why did you ping Davey2010 to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kate Elizabeth Hallam? The user has not contributed to the article. You may want to read up on WP:CANVASSING in the event you're not aware of this guideline page, as such pings could be interpreted as such depending on the context of the situation, particularly if it's likely that the user will agree with your commentary at the discussion. North America<sup>1000</sup> 12:42, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

• (talk page stalker) - Northamerica1000 Well the ping failed anyway so had no idea until just now, I was pinged before by ST but assumed I edited the article .. So perhaps I never did!?, Anyway ST NA1k's correct - You shouldn't be pinging everyone unless they've participated in the previous AFD (That's the limit as far as I know). Cheers, –Davey2010<sup>Talk</sup> 12:52, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
• Another(talk page stalker) - I, along with few other editors who work in India-related articles, received a ping regarding an old Bollywood film AfD (non of us had edited the article prior to this and we differ in our ways and views of editing here). I don't find that to be wrong, but actually helpful. At AfDs, any insight from editors who work around that specific area is pretty helpful. That's what Dave was trying to do in my understanding. Not to get editors to agree to his commentary but for the article to be reviewed by a few extra pair of eyes. Best, Yash! 13:39, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Yash! Yes, that is accurate and the more clearer comments at AfD, the merrier. Davey2010 I wasn't sure if to ping you but I know you're interested with that subject if you know what I mean. SwisterTwister talk 17:10, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Oh ... well thanks :), Unfortunately it can be perceived as canvassing but meh I'm not all that fussed - I guess if you were canvassing you'd be pinging half of the site , Thanks, –Davey2010<sup>Talk</sup> 17:46, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Provide rationale

• Hi SwisterTwister: You should consider providing reasons in AfD nominations when you ping those that you consider to be "interested users". For example, at the AfD discussion, for Megatrax Production Music, User:Walter Görlitz stated "...I don't know why I was summoned". This comes across as a potential canvassing matter, because it could be interpreted that you may ping users that may agree with your opinion.

Kenneth Mahood proposed article and the Golden Rule.

I'm aware of Wikipedia's guidelines for notability and the need for secondary sources which show it.

Regarding your request

"Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia," and your advice to consult WP:Golden Rule, I did so.

Before resubmitting the article, I added several secondary sources which do what you ask:

Reference 1 is a summary of Kenneth Mahood's career published by the British Cartoon Archive, an activity supported by the British Arts and Humanities Research Council. While insufficient on its own to establish the notability of Kenneth Mahood, this article is a secondary source not written or supported by the "topic." It meets the criteria set forth in your and PrimeFac's requests and WP:Golden Rule.

In fact, not a single one of my sources has any direct, primary source relationship to the article's subject.

Each reference is third-party, and when they are advertisements, these are either auction pages in which the author's notability is assumed (for very few people bid on obscure or unimportant artists without the sort of build-up that is absent in these web references - these are auctions "banking" on Mahood being not only notable but having been well-known during his heyday), or reproductions of Mahood's work for the very notable New Yorker magazine which won acclaim. One such reference listed Mahood's work being selected as one of the hundred best cartoons published in an 80-year period by the New Yorker.

Each reference links to a live, verifiable external Web page unconnected to Kenneth Mahood personally with one exception, the notice in his employer from 1971-2008, the Daily Mail announcing his retirement from the newspaper and detailing his years of service as one of the Daily Mail`s premier cartoonists during that period.

Reference 2 is a review of Mahood's book Name Droppings by critic Win Wiacek in which Mahood's notability was discussed in paragraph one:

"Another prolific but criminally all-but forgotten staple of British cartooning is Kenneth Mahood, whose darkly dry and merrily mordant panel gags were a mainstay of humour mags, cartoon-book racks and newspapers from 1949 to the end of the 1980s."

Reference 3 is still another secondary source stating that Mahood worked in collage and his work was exhibited in New York and Dublin.

Reference 4 is Blouin Art Info International's Web page on Kenneth Mahood by a third party describing how his art has sold from 2001 - 2009. I submit that significant sales volume of an artist on the world market is evidence of his notability - people have recognized Mahood, respect his artistic ability, and purchased his art.

Reference 5 is a collection of cartoons published by Kenneth Mahood by the renowned British humor magazine Punch (magazine) over many years, evidence that Mahood enjoyed popularity during that time as evidenced by his continued appearance in a very popular humor magazine with an international readership.

Reference 6 is another third-party online collection of Kenneth Mahood's work for Punch (magazine) listing two covers of Punch done by Mahood with the sidebar note:

"Punch Cartoons

Original Punch magazine front covers from the 1950s and 1960s by some of the finest cartoonists and illustrators of their day."

indicating this was a description of Mahood during the time he contributed to Punch.

I should have preceded Reference 7 - the secondary source citation describing what the "Punch Table" is as a way of establishing why Mahood's election to it further establishes his notability with a citation of Reference 1, which tells us he was elected to the Punch Table - a signal honor bestowed by Britain's premier humor magazine at the time Mahood worked there, and strong evidence of his notability. I have corrected this error now.

Reference 8 is a tribute by the Daily Mail to Kenneth Mahood on his retirement from that publication, detailing his contributions to the magazine and his prowess as a cartoonist and artist. I think it's supporting evidence of Mahood's notability, specifically:

"Ken Mahood, our brilliant, award-winning pocket cartoonist, is leaving the Mail after more than 27 years of entertaining readers with his wit, satire and sharp comment on the news of the day"

and

"In 1966, Mahood became the first-ever political cartoonist on The Times" -

two indications that Kenneth Mahood was extremely notable as cartoonists go.

Reference 9 is a blog entry by artist Shelley Davies showing more Punch covers done by Kenneth Mahood, and also collages of his on exhibit at the time at Whyte's Gallery, more evidence of his notability during his career at Punch and his more recent notability as an artist exhibiting at Whyte's Gallery.

References 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 establish more of the body of Mahood's work - covers for the New Yorker magazine this time - and the current commercial demand for copies of previously published work of Kenneth Mahood.

Reference 15 is a notice of the Wiley publishing house's release of a collection of the 100 best cartoons published by the New Yorker - a magazine of international renown and large circulation - in which Kenneth Mahood's work is featured. This establishes Kenneth Mahood's recognition and notability as a notable cartoonist in a very competitive field.

References 16 and 17 establish Kenneth Mahood's status as a published author. Reference 17 was cited earlier as a critic's recognition as a very popular cartoonist from 1949 to the late 1980s.

I'm having difficulty understanding why these secondary articles and other supporting references not directly associated with the subject of the article (he never wrote any of them, he doesn't stand to benefit from any of the advertisements of his work I listed - instead, these are amazon.com and other online resellers advertising the work of a notable, acclaimed cartoonist, artist and published author, but without any authorization or other direct connection to Kenneth Mahood himself) aren't enough documentation of Kenneth Mahood's notability.

Looking around wikipedia, it seems to me that the criteria in WP:Golden Rule were met completely. Thousands of our articles on other topics are nowhere near this well-sourced. I invite your discussion on this topic. loupgarous (talk) 22:37, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

For your information, I've also added citations for the section "Books by Kenneth Mahood" - information on each book listed is sourced. loupgarous (talk) 23:15, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Please see WP:AUTHOR as well. I think my sources meet those specific criteria. loupgarous (talk) 23:42, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

This is my first article submission, but it is not my creation. It is a simple translation of the Jan Rejsa page that already exists on the Czech-language Wikipedia site, so the article has of course already been accepted there.

I am curious as to why the change to English would then require more sources? Also, since many of the sources are libraries and catalogs, it wouldn't seem more were needed (existence is verified). Perhaps if you could tell me what you would like to see better sourced I could work on that?

Thank you,

Draft:Bob Hardwick (and the cup of tea for me)

Hello, SwisterTwister, and thank you for the tea; I was honored to be included in the selection of editors you recently recognized with WikiLove. I am reposting the question I asked you two weeks ago, because it was archived without being addressed. —GrammarFascist <sub>contribs</sub><sup>talk</sup> 13:26, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm trying to help a new editor who came to the Teahouse looking for direction on improving Draft:Bob Hardwick so that it can pass AfC review. However, I myself am not clear on why the submission was declined. There are three references cited which are from reliable sources and constitute more than mere mentions of Hardwick and his band; and they have performed at a notable event, namely the Obama inauguration, which seems to satisfy another of the specific music-related notability criteria. (Apparently the band also played the Kentucky Derby, per cited sources, though that isn't mentioned in the article as yet; I'm not sure whether performing at that event would also contribute towards notability.) Could you explain why the cited sources do not establish Hardwick's notability, and/or specify what kind of sources or other proofs of notability would be sufficient? Thanks in advance, GrammarFascist <sub>contribs</sub><sup>talk</sup> 19:14, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey GF, the article looks good frankly but I also wonder if the amount of sourcing could be enhanced to at least include any more available ones. SwisterTwister talk 17:24, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi ST, thanks for clarifying. There didn't seem to be much in recent Google News results but plenty turned up in scanned older newspapers. I added two minor sources and one meaty one (Palm Beach Daily News) and some content I pulled from those sources, and re-submitted the article. I'm willing to add more sources if you would like; finding them isn't the issue so much as finding the time to do the edits adding them into the article. Thanks again! —GrammarFascist <sub>contribs</sub><sup>talk</sup> 18:52, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Dear Twister, Thanks you for your review and feedback. Would it be possible to accept the article on Ramon Guthrie as I have recently edited it (I struck out the time line and left just the introduction and bibliography and added a few additional references) until such time as I can compose a suitable biography? I have written both Sally M. Gall and Michael Brazillier at Persea Books about using the biographic note that Sally wrote for Maximum Security Ward and Other Poems. I have yet to hear from Michael; Sally seems amenable to this plan, but she will not be back in the country and able to deal with the issue in detail until after November 20. Would it be possible to use her work then? If you need to see what that would be, I have a copy of it in WORD that I could past in here. Although I am contemplating writing a biography of Guthrie, using, or leaning heavily on Sally's work would be what I would like to do at this time. In the meantime could we go with the minimal article as it now stands?

Articles for creation: International Project Management Association

@SwisterTwister. Dear David, I am attempting to create a page on the IPMA. I understand the requirements (read the entire wikipedia help section on notable, incl. golden rules etc). In my 4 attempts of getting the article approved, I have every time added external references from either books (not from IPMA but from external studies), newspapers or professional journals, 3rd parties newspaper (2nd rejection directed to do so) as well as notable organisations who are using the IPMA for improving their operations. Some of the Wiki link I created contains reference of IPMA as well (and I am trying to fill the gap to the missing article). I am writing to you so you can help me better understand what I am missing. Maybe you could help me understand first me why the references I mentioned above are not considered to support the guideline for "notability". I would also very much appreciate to understand the review process which would help me understand how the article is been reviewed so that I can complete it adequately. Many thanks in advance.

I do not understand why this article is being rejected. It is sourced by a wide variety of media and scholarly outlets. One can find sources of its authors all over the web. In fact, many are well-documented on Wikipedia (including its founders, which are specifically mentioned in the Italian American article).

Rarely does a publisher have many articles on themselves specifically, articles tend to focus on individual publisher's catalog – unless they have been around for 50+ years or are media outlets for giant corporations.

Well, I'm not requesting a re-review just yet, I'm just asking for clarification. By 'more available coverage' do you mean I need to find more varied sources or I just need to include more details about the event and how it took place? Or both? Thanks for your assistance!

Hi,

Thank you for reviewing the article I submitted for publication. The feedback you provided is confusing and needs clarification. When it was first submitted and rejected, the reason given was that there weren't enough qualifying and acceptable references. Fair enough. I provided more qualifying and acceptable references. And now it is being rejected because it needs "any more available coverage"...? This does not make any sense and this reason was not provided as a rejection initially. Your feedback is also confusing, which makes an already difficult task even harder. Here is the feedback you provided me:

"This still needs any more available coverage and by the way once the references are listed, there's no need to list all of them under the references section. Cheers,"

Thank you for the tip on not needing to list the references again; I thought it was only listed once but it looks like they may have been duplicated. But thanks for the word of advice anyways.

Please provide me with better, clearer and more comprehensible reasons as to why you are rejecting this article, as the reasons you provided do not seem in line with Wikipedia policy nor do they make any sense.

All the best,

Thanks for reviewing the draft in which I submitted and providing comments within. I went ahead and added another 4 notable sources, including Venturebeat, one of the largest tech publications in the gaming space, from the recent week. The company and game recently won a competition in which showcased several other notable gaming companies and should suffice to vouch for the notability of the game Shop Heroes and the company behind it, Cloudcade. Please note that there are also 9 total citations, from a slew of credible websites and sources in which consists of a mix of business, tech and gaming publications. The company and game itself was also recently featured by both Apple and Google Play in their "Top New Games" spot which is not an easy feat in itself. I hope that this additional source and a bit of elaboration on the company itself will prove it to not be promotional but rather to list a notable company/product on Wiki.

Currently there are only 11 sources that I can find relevant to this post for now, although a lot more of them are available for Shop Heroes which I will create a separate page for. As more sources become available, I will continue to add to the Wiki. Can you please go ahead and approve the draft for publishing now?

Hello! Thanks for reviewing the article I want to create. Until now, the article was declined so I would like to make it happen. :) I've added 3 more References to the draft (starting from 1 to 3 - at the top of the References list). I would like to say that the song I'm writing about is sung by a singer who is not a mainstream artist; as we know it is very hard for an artist who's age is over 40 to get mainstream airplay. Although the news regarding the release of the single named "Clipe" was published on various online newspapers, including MTV and also mainstream radio website Radio Zu, the song did not managed to get mainstream airplay. But it was heavily played on the main national channel of The Romanian Radio Broadcasting Company and also on various regional radio stations across the country. Actually the fact that the song was not being played by the mainstream radio stations, it means that the single was not eligible to chart. Anyway, the song is the most popular single released by the singer, since her 2008 Eurovision Song Contest Entry. If you consider these facts strong enough to allow the article on Wikipedia, I would thank you! Bye-Bye!(Ovidiu.iordache (talk) 21:42, 2 November 2015 (UTC))

A couple of your recent acceptances via the script arrived as articles with the afc banners intact. In the past this has happened to folk who closed the tab/window too fast and moved on to other work. That might be the reason here, or we might have a script issue.

The author himself also seemed satisfied with it when I showed him the draft for what it's worth. Basically, seeing as how the reason given for the rejection was a scarcity of information, I figured I should let you know that this is basically all the information available at the moment. I hope that makes things a bit clearer.

Rejected: Els Vandevorst article

Hi,

You rejected my article on Els Vandevorst. She really is an award winning producer, who's films have even been shortlisted for the Oscars. The IMDB page alone is a pretty solid reference, if you ask me. And I'm pretty sure that makes Vandevorst notable enough to have her own wiki-page. All of the news articles about her are so industry-specific that they feel like a worse source of information then the IMDB page. So what else can I do to make this page more credible?

Thanks in advance. Gertsik (talk) 09:07, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello and thank you! What other kind of coverage is necessary? There are multiple reviews of the works she's done but most of those reviews are on blogs by authors etc. Would that suffice or does there need to be more sources cited for the awards? I have read several other Wikipedia pages--Dena Hankins for instance, in which only one source was quoted and the sources quoted on her work were only reviews as Hankins has yet to be nominated for any award and only the reviews on her first book were quoted and that seems to have been sufficient as she has a page up in Wikipedia.

Hi. I'm writing in reference to the article about Katherine Timpf that you just reviewed. You asked me "Are there any more available sources about her and her work overall?" I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for here. There are many other sources about her, but previous Wikipedia reviewers told me not to go overboard on my citations. There are many, many Fox News videos on the Internet that Katherine appears in. She has written many, many articles and columns. How many more sources do I need? I've seen a number of approved Wikipedia articles that have fewer sources than I'm citing (e.g., Katie Pavlich). Katherine is an on-air television personality who has a large following. She is an on-ar cast member on a weekly television show, and she appears often several times a day on other Fox News programming. She is definitely "notable".

Hello Sister Twister,

I'm wondering if you could please provide some more specific advise about the sort of sources you require to verify the information for a notable person article? Are sources that are not available online considered as valuable? Can we site articles that are not accessible online or in restricted scholarly publications or won't this be useful? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jaynie_Anderson

Thank you, AIAH INFO Aiah info (talk) 04:25, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, offline sources are acceptable and simply add any other available ones. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 04:27, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello David,

I have gone through the article and added additional in line citations to support all of the content with at least one reference for each fact. Some of these references include the New York Times, Bloomberg and many other notable sources. I would appreciate it if you could look at the entry again so that could potentially be pushed live.

Thank you

Different notability standards confusion

Hi SwisterTwister

Thanks for your work in reviewing my post. I am just confused as I dont understand why my page is being rejected. I have 25 citations including highly respectable sources, such as the UK Cabinet Office, the Financial Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, the BVCA, Cathy Clark, Jed Emerson, Ben Thornley's The 'Impact Investor: Lessons in Leadership and Strategy for Collaborative Capitalism' - a widely celebrated book, and more. This is not enough?

- Doughty Hanson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doughty_Hanson_%26_Co) has five citations.

- Izurium Capital (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izurium_Capital) have six citations, including their own listing on CrunchBase, and one literal press release.

- Diversity Global (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity_Global) has only one, and it is their own website!

There are a 51 private equity firms for just the UK listed on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Private_equity_firms_of_the_United_Kingdom) (every single one of which was written by themselves I assure you, even if they haven't listed it as so, as I have, in an attempt to adhere to your regulations on transparency, for which I am now most definitely being penalised :( ), many of which are smaller, and more financially focused then Bridges Ventures is. We are an impact investor working with charities and social enterprises. This is far more notable than most of these other listings. We are also an educational service provider, another aspect i need to include in this post.

Additionally, these Wikipedia pages also reference Bridges Ventures:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Cohen

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_McGrath

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Englander

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Board_of_Overseers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Office_Group

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeapFrog_Investments

So I just dont understand the reasoning behind the rejection of my post on the grounds of a lack of citations?

Hi SwisterTwister - I'm reaching out because my Wikipedia entry about Discovery Education's President and CEO was recently rejected by your account due to the fact that notability was not established.

However, I'm a bit confused because in previous drafts, I received the following message from another reviewer who told me that in fact notability HAD been established. Could you please advise? Thank you in advance.

"Notability has been established but I'm finding it difficult to edit the article to the point where it would be appropriate for Wikipedia. The resume-speak needs to go."

I'm not sure if there is any way that you can review previous comments on my draft page, but if so, can you please check to confirm that a previous reviewer told me notability had been established. Thank you!

Hello, you recently turned down my submission and asked "Is there any more available third-party sourcing such as news?" However, I have cited so many news articles (credible newspaper articles, multiple University Articles, and direct websites from the exact sources that are being spoken about.) Many composers' Wikipedia pages contain absolutely NO references, so I'm wondering how the 40 sources I supplied is considered insufficient? Please reconsider, as this was a very time-consuming article to put together and contains many CREDIBLE sources (as WELL as sources that are just for "extra" link, such as IMDb.)

Rockwills

Hi, Im trying to improve the article on Rockwills. so far I have included new reference which is proof that Rockwills is a registered company under the Malaysian government. Also include that Johari is a notable person with his profile up in Bloomberg Malaysia. Would appreciate if you could let me know why is the article still not considered article? Also, just to clarify, isnt this a stub article to allow future information to added by other users? why decide to delete it off immediately before providing the article a chance to expand. Article like this, and this which have less information are allowed to stay. What information will be useful to permit the article to be considered notable for wikipedia standards? Please advice.

WP:NEXIST

Hi SwisterTwister: I've noticed that you may be assessing topic notability upon the state of sources in articles, and whether or not articles are able to be "improved". Just a note that as per WP:NEXIST, topic notability on Wikipedia is not based upon the state of sourcing in articles. Rather, notability is based upon overall available sources. As such, even a topic with an article with no sources can be notable, as per whether or not the topic itself it has received WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS.

Hi! I saw that you declined my article submission for Ronnie Woo who has his own TV show and I'm a little confused on what else exactly needs to be included in order for this article to be created. I'm a little confused also because there are articles for individuals who have far less references and notoriety. If you could let me know what else and how many more references (and what kind) need to be included before the article can be created that would be incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

Publicly traded corporations and analyst reports

Hi SwisterTwister. When you consider nominating publicly trade corporations for deletion, please also search for analyst reports. According to Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations: "sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports."

I found some analyst reports for iSentia, which you nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ISentia.

If you are unable to find any analyst reports for a publicly traded company and nominate it for deletion, feel free to ping me or notify me on my talk page, and I'll take a look. Thank you, Cunard (talk) 07:20, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

About giving references from news or magazines:

I am not sure what to link (news and magazines will one day in the future not be linkable, or is there a permalink system?). I tried to look it up, and it seems that all these prizes were announced in the news somehow; for instance, here are the latest:

This article appeared in the "normal" wide-audience newspaper Stuttgarter Zeitung and this one in the more topical MyScience news portal.

Is that what you are looking for? I am not sure how to link this (I have no wikipedia experience); could you help please?

  • Draft:Edwin Hill Clark (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Good morning, Will you please clarify the reason that you rejected this article? The first time I submitted it, that reviewer assured me that the references were good and the subject was notable but that I had formated the references incorrectly. He told me to reformat the references according to the Wikipedia standards and templates and then resubmit it, and it should be good to go. I've done this and so am puzzled by your quick rejection and comment about lack of references. When I asked for clarification of the first review, the reviewer stated:

 Comment: Hi Elisaclark, Reliable sources are usually trustworthy sources such as famous newspapers, notability articles, corporate press release, Take look at WP:REF, There are various sections explaining how to use the cite on articles, Since cites are really important to the editors it's used to verify the contents whether they're true or not. Therefore, the article you have submitted was nearly verifiable, But the references you have given are used in improper manner take look at WP:REFB on that article you can see how the Reference should be used and what are not, In your article there are lot of bare links which actually ugly, So you should use it in a proper format that will help other readers to read the title, dates, author and web source before clicking on the reference. You should never use Wikipedia as reference; example you did: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza_del_Lago on your reference list, that's strictly not allowed, thus, you should use it as internal URL. ♔ MONARCH <sup>Ask me</sup> 15:32, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

I have reformatted the citations and they all fall under the guidelines of Wikipedia re: citing sources (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#What_information_to_include). Per your comment, I have linked to Wikipedia pages as well within the article, but when I used those links as references the first time I submitted, that reviewer told me that that was not a proper reference.

Thank you for your time and guidance.

  • Draft:Bmai (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi SwisterTwister,

Thanks for your feedback. I agree that it may appear that I have used more citations from Bmai's official website than ideal, but I believe most of it is appropriate. Out of the 23 sources I have used, there are 8 that originate from the official website. Within these 8 sources, four of them are for product details and descriptions (# 13, 14, 15, and 17), and I have used them because I think the official website provides the most comprehensive technical information about the products. Sources 3 and 4 are related to product lines and corporate value, which I believe to be best demonstrated by the information on the official website. I have replaced sources 9 and 11 with secondary sources that demonstrate similar information, so there are 6 out of 23 sources that are from the official website now, all of which I deem to be most representative and authoritative of the information.

Most available sources that I have gathered are product reviews, which are not heavily emphasized in the this article, and the company seems to rely heavily on word-of-mouth promotion at this stage, which limits available sources further. Due to such limitations as outlined above, I'm sorry that I cannot provide more relevant secondary sources at this point, and hope you understand that I've tried my best to gather secondary sources and to ensure their reliability and value. I have resubmitted the draft and hope it's better now. Thank you for your help with this. Leahnaz (talk) 16:35, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello SwisterTwister. My name is Howicus, and I spend time in the Wikipedia IRC help channel.
