Thyroid cancer

Would like an expert editor to review and possibly improve this new article I created. Immunize (talk) 17:59, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Immunize, you might be better off asking at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine where there are likely to be editors familiar with the subject. Regards, --Beloved Freak 13:51, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Did you look at the article, or do you feel that only a medical expert should review the article? Immunize (talk) (talk) 17:52, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I looked at the article. With respect to the manual of style, it looks fine (other than the format of the citation, which is a bare url at the moment). It has a reference. I'm not sure what other feedback you're looking for, since it's only three lines long. I suggested the Wikiproject because if you're looking for collaboration, you're more likely to find someone there with a specific interest in the subject. And, I don't know enough about this to be sure, but since the first sentence of Thyroid neoplasm says "Thyroid neoplasm or thyroid cancer usually refers to...", is this other article necessary? I see it was previously a redirect to Thyroid neoplasm. Is there any reason in particular you thought it warranted a separate article?--Beloved Freak 18:06, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

A thyroid neoplasm can be benign or malignant, thyroid cancer is malignant by definition. Furthermore, the treatment for benign thyroid neoplasm (such as thyroid adenoma) differs completely from that of a malignant thyroid neoplasm. Immunize (talk) (talk) 18:15, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Ok, as I say I don't know too much about it. However, the article at Thyroid neoplasm looks like it covers this too. As well as the Wikiproject, it might be worth starting a discussion at Talk:Thyroid neoplasm, perhaps also saying what you think ought to be expanded, and what expert help you need. --Beloved Freak 18:26, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sergiosbox/Stockholm_Lisboa_Project

Hello,

I just created my first article about a Swedeish/Portuguese music group. Because I'm not used to Wiki I would apreciate some input before I think about submiting it as a mainspace article.

Thank you for any help! Sérgio Crisóstomo —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sergiosbox (talk • contribs) 07:45, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Sergio, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. This is not a bad start, however it is important that you provide reliable third party references to substantiate the content of the article. If you're unsure, please take a look at this and WP:RS for more details. All the best, -Reconsider ! 11:47, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the input! I added 3 references that are "factual" and give a proof of what I wrote. They don't add new information, just add detail/proof to it. I supose that was your suggestion. Am I far from "safely" suggesting it to the mainspace?

Meanwhile how do I answer to your comment? like I did, just add ":" on the page and "write"?

Thank you again!, Sergiosbox (talk) 19:50, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

The Latimer Group

User:SlatersGarage/The Latimer Group

Looking for feedback on an article I'm working on about The Latimer Group, a communications coaching firm in Wallingford Connecticut. Subheads include info on its founder, as well as company history...

This is my first Wikipedia article, so I'm hoping I got it pretty close... Feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks SlatersGarage (talk) 13:24, 12 April 2010 (UTC)SlatersGarage 04-12-10

At the moment it reads like a promotional piece for the company and its founder, which is a violation of WP:Spam. Also, it does not demonstrate how or why the company is notable per the guidelines at WP:CORP, although it is possible that Brenner may be notable enough per WP:BIO for his sailing activities. In either case you will need to WP:CITE non-trivial coverage in multiple sources independent of the subject to show notability. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 14:03, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

TV Specialists, Inc page

I found a page about a local Appliance/Electronic store in Utah called R.C. Willey and decided to create a page about a local Electronic/Custom Installation store called TV Specialists, Inc. I would like to get it reviewed and posted and I believe this is the next step? TV_Specialists,_Inc

Thank you!

Sorry about the link - couldn't get it to work right.

Since1953 (talk) 16:21, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

At the moment the draft is very spammy and would almost certainly be speedily deleted if moved to mainspace in this form. Also, there is nothing in the article text or sources to demonstrate how or why this particular company is notable per the guidelines at WP:CORP. There are other outlets such as WikiCompany. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 16:30, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Feedback on the Mwananchi Communications Ltd page

I have just created a page stil under the userspace draft on here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bbiswalo/Mwananchi_Communications_Ltd) and would like your feedback before I move it to be a peoper Wikipedia article.

The company Mwananchi Communicatrions Ltd is one of the leading media houses in Tanzania but it has been hard to find info about it on the net while its a huge company that many Tanzanians and others people have interest in it for the role it plays as an independent media in Tanzania . So I decided to find info as much as I could and found some resources on-line to share with fellows like me who would be interested in this company and its products.

Mwananchi Communications Ltd feedback

Please help me review this article by giving me feedback so that we make it a great resource for all. Thanks!

The article is at http: Mwananchi Communications Ltd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbiswalo (talk • contribs)

At the moment the article is very promotional in tone and most of the references are not material enough to demonstrate the notability of the subject - for example regurgitation of press releases and passing mentions are not sufficient. The coverage has to be non-trivial. Please take a look at WP:RS for additional guidance on sources. – ukexpat (talk) 20:16, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Digital Creative Agency

The Digital Creative Agency page is a brief description of the services of a digital creative agency. With today's growing technology, digital creative agencies are in competition with or compliment traditional advertising agencies. This page states the differences between the two and provides some examples of digital creative agencies.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review this article.

-Sami —Preceding unsigned comment added by Playgroundsami (talk • contribs)

At first blush this doesn't look like a notable enough subject for an encyclopedia article and looks rather like an attempt to advertise some of these agencies on Wikipedia. In any event, you will have to cite non-trivial coverage in multiple independent sources to demonstrate notability. – ukexpat (talk) 20:03, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

The tone of the article is very non-neutral and very "peacocky" and I have tagged it accordingly. Expressions like "Gonzalez was a trailblazer..." are not encyclopedic or neutral. So the tone needs some work. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 19:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Sandford Pre School

User:Remawa/Sandford Pre School

14/04/2010 Remawa (talk) 11:15, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

The Wikikpedia consensus is that schools below secondary level are not de facto notable, so to get over this hurdle you will need to demonstrate notability with cited references to non-trivial coverage in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. I think it will be a fruitless exercise. – ukexpat (talk) 17:12, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Organizational Immaturity

Organizational Immaturity User:Mklubeck/Organizational Immaturity

This article attempts to explain the concept of Organizational Immaturity which organizations may suffer from.

Mklubeck 18:39, 13 April 2010 (UTC)MKlubeck, April 13, 2010

I am not convinced that the subject meets the general notability guideline for inclusion in Wikipedia. Most of the references are to a book of which you appear to be a co-author, so you have a conflict of interest with the subject. The concept appears (from the publication year of your book - 2010) to be new, and most "new" things will not have received the non-trivial coverage in reliable sources required to demonstrate notability. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 20:26, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I think it does help. I did co-author the book, but I would have tried to put this into Wikipedia years ago (before writing the book) if I was more aware. You are right it is a new concept and understand if it requires more time. Don't know what to do about the "conflict of interest" since we (the authors) are probably the most knowledgable at this time - until (hopefully) our readership grows. Thanks again!

Bay View Garden and Yard Society

I've just completed an article on a non-profit community organization at User:VitusKonter/Bay View Garden and Yard Society. I've included as many references as I could find, so I hope this helps to meet the notablility guidelines. Thank you for your time and consideration. VitusKonter (talk) 06:44, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I have taken a quick look and made some formatting changes, in particular I changed the thumbnail size to the default so that the images do not overpower and distort the text flow. I think it's ready to move to the mainspace. Let me know if you need help with that. – ukexpat (talk) 19:31, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing the images. That is one area of wiki that I seem to be having problems. It does look better now, and I'll probably wait to move it to mainspace next week, to see if there's any more feedback. VitusKonter (talk) 05:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Community Mobilization

Hi friends,
Recently, I have added this page to Wikipedia and tired to make the content of this article lucid. In order to make this article beautiful, I request you for your feedback and suggestions.
Your help will be deeply appreciated.--Alok Mishra (talk) 09:11, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I am not convinced that this is an encyclopedic subject in the narrow way that you have defined it - communities mobilise for many more reasons than "to achieve sustainable development". Isn't this just a subset of community building, maybe your content could be more usefully merged into that article? – ukexpat (talk) 18:23, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. Though there is close interface between community building and community mobilization but there is a sharp contrast also exist between these two terms. I wrote this article as a separate from community building because of several reasons. 1) Community mobilization is emerging as a powerful tool for community development and it contrast from development development in many methodological and conceptual aspects at micro level. (I agree there is close interface exist). 2) I Felt there should be an article on Community mobilization which should cover detailed and comprehensive description with online resource materials. In the light of above reasons and keeping a good faith in Wiki spirit, I tried to add the page. Your further help will be deeply appreciated. --Alok Mishra (talk) 04:40, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Recently, I have added this page to Wikipedia and tired to make this article lucid and informative. In order to make this article beautiful, I request you for your feedback and suggestions. Please let me know how it looks and developmental need.
Your help will be deeply appreciated.--Alok Mishra (talk) 09:35, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I think it's a pretty good start. The tone needs work, try to avoid passive voice. "It has been noticed..." is an example, a better way to express it would be to say who noticed and what they did when they noticed. Some of the sentences are unnecessary or don't say aynthing, for example, "A society consists of many sub-groups and this is evidence of further stratification" is meaningless, as sub-groups are not evidence of further stratification. I would suggest recasting the language in simple and direct phrases to make your meaning clear, and avoid the use of terms. --Nuujinn (talk) 23:10, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

MEET - Middle East Education through Technology

Greetings!

My non-profit organization just set up our own page, located at MEET - Middle East Education through Technology

In a nutshell, the mission of MEET is to be a bridge facilitating healthy interaction and dialogue between Israeli and Palestinian high-school students, through a shared goal of education and cross-cultural learning.

However we realize this topic may be a bit sensitive (even though our organization is neutral), therefore would like to seek feedback from the Wiki community on your thoughts about our page (too political? sensitive?) and any advice on improving it.

Thanks so much!!

Lbeana, 4/15 Lbeana (talk) 23:28, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

I took the liberty of making some quick edits to bring it more in line with normal article structure. What you need, however, are more citations from reliable sources. See if you can't incorporate some of the external links as inline citations, that will help. The tone is a bit too promotional, also, see if you can make it more neutral. --Nuujinn (talk) 00:25, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Once the article is cleaned up (see WP:MOS, WP:CITE, and WP:EL), I believe you've made a good preliminary case for his notability. You should, however, disclose your own conflict of interest on the talk page of the article. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:25, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Mike I wrote this article in context with the prevailing situation in Jammu & Kashmir and wanted to apprise the interested parties with a version a common man in J & K wants the international community to be aware of.

Self defense pressure points

User:SuKristie/Self defense pressure points

This is my first article. It is about using pressure points of your attackers body to defend yourself and discusses which of your body parts to use on these pressure points. Are the lists a problem, or anything else?

--SuKristie (talk) 19:23, 15 April 2010 (UTC)SuKristie 4/15/10

Well, we already have an article Pressure point, which seems to cover the subject already but in greater detail. Your article at the moment is not encyclopaedic and neutral in tone - it reads like a personal essay or an instruction manual (referring to your own experience and opinions in an encyclopaedia article is unacceptable, for example). It might be a better idea to see if you can use your source material to help improve an existing article on the subject. Ka renjc 19:04, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Corinne Malvern

Corinne Malvern -- I'd appreciate someone reviewing this for me. Dfoy (talk) 14:56, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I've removed the unreviewed tag, and taken the liberty of doing a little formatting. In particular I've unWikilinked the titles of Corinne Malvern's Little Golden Books as you had them, because the links went to articles about other versions of the story by other authors (and in one case, to a film to which I'm sure Ms Malvern had no connection!), and I've done some formatting of the external links at the end. This is a good short article, with good references and links. I think your inference about the date of birth is fair, given the photographic evidence, and have put an approx birth date in the lead section. Nice work. Ka renjc 17:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

It looks pretty good to me. The refs seem fine. You may want to wikilink a few of the topics that people reading the article may want to know more about, such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging or the names of universities. You do that by enclosing them in double square brackets. Also, headers should look like == Aberdeen == instead of '''Aberdeen''', and you can just delete the External Links section since it's not used. Otherwise a great start!

User:Ɯ/Alpha algorithm

Hi,

this is going to be my first article: User:Ɯ/Alpha algorithm it's about an algorithm which is mentioned on the Process mining, though not linked nor explained there.

It's far from being finished, but I'd like to make it available to everyone at this stage to avoid duplication. [Ɯ:] (talk) 14:43, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

You put some spaces at the beginning of some lists, presumably for indenting. That caused the blue dotted line box to be placed around the material. Unless you wanted the blue box, which I don't think looks nice, I made some minor edits.
I changed the first list from bullet points to numbers, because of the reference to three items. If you prefer bullet points, you can change it back.
You wanted on list of bullet indented in some places - I have done so, while eliminating the blue dotted line box.
You wikilinked "workflow net" twice. Wikilinking a term, creating a red link is acceptable, but the convention is to do it only the first time, not each time. (In a long article, there may be reason to do it more than once.) I removed the second wikilink.
I wikilinked "petri net"
If you want the bulleted items indented more, change "*" to ":*"
Nice start, obviously needs a little more work before moving to article space.--SPhilbrick T 18:01, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for reviewing! I'm happy with the changes. The bullet points were intentional, though, so I changed the "#"'s back to "*". [Ɯ:] (talk) 16:37, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Break out a two-three sentence WP:lead.
Work on incorporating the external references into the article as inline citations, see WP:cite.
Section titles should be not be all caps.
You should probably add a Template:Infobox_person.
The prose needs some work, it needs to be more neutral.
You might go through MOS:BIO for some additional guidelines.

United States Cyber Command

Request review for improvement and a fair rating based on current assessment standards. Sephiroth storm (talk) 04:21, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Ratings are generally done by Wikiprojects, rather than help desks. The one that looks most promising is Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/United States military history task force. You might post a message on one or more of the coordinators listed on that page - I'd guess they can either arrange for the review, or tell you what to do.

A few comments on the article itself:

I don't know what a "subordinate unified command" is. I can hazard a guess, but I presume it has a precise meaning. I see it is used elsewhere in WP, but I didn't find an explanation. I assume most military people know what it means, but remember the audience may not - is there a way to explain it (perhaps in a footnote?
I note you used the emblem of the US Strategic Command, which I assume is a much larger group than the subject of this article. Is there not an emblem for the United States Cyber Command? In view of my previous point, it may be that this is standard, but I just want to make sure it is appropriate.
Most of your refs are raw html. If you are looking to get rated, having better formed refs is often part of the criteria. I changed the second reference to show an example, I find it easy to add properly formed references using a citation tool; you can add one by going to your preferences, selecting "Gadgets" and clicking the box next to "reftools". It will add a "cite" button to your toolbar - which is easy to use. --SPhilbrick T 18:46, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, I will take a look at the other note tomorrow, however I can answer the first two, US Cyber Command is currently slated to be a unit under the "control" of US Strategic Command, which is why it is a sub unified command. There currently is no (known) emblem for the unit as it will not be operational until a unit Commander is officially in charge, I will attempt to explain in the article. Once the unit activates, then a unit Distinctive unit insignia and Shoulder sleeve insignia will be created, and hopefully published for public viewing. Thanks for the help.

Many thanks! At what stage does an article get reviewed/rated? --PressedBack (talk) 20:58, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

When you first created the article using the article Wizard, it added a template noting that the article was unreviewed. That process is complete, although I caution you that it is an informal review - meaning that if some other editor decided the article should be proposed for deletion, the fact that it was reviewed will carry no weight. However, I don't think that's an issue.

If by rating, you mean the quality and importance ratings - those are generally done by members of a Wikiproject. I think the one most relevant to this article is WikiProject Electronic music. You may be interested in joining it yourself - but if you are looking for a rating, you should contact someone on that page, simply by clicking the word "talk" next to their name, and asking at their talk page. (If this isn't clear, just say so, and I'll give more details.)--SPhilbrick T 01:30, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Also, I seem to have screwed up when creating the title for the article. I have not yet figured out how to change it. Maybe it will be easy to change after it is approved.

Is this how we are supposed to communicate? Someone send the "the missing manual". That was very helpful. Also the unfindable link WP:lead .. very helpful and I would have NEVER found it on my own. I have edited the page a lot based on this input. I am not going to claim it is 'ready' yet. However, I have made significant improvement. Hopefully enough that I am ready for more suggestions. I still don't understand this wikipaedia thing much. But if you have the ability to help edit the article, then go ahead.

I have much more material that can be cited. However, much of it is only recently being declassified. Since most people will not have access to it, is it proper to cite it? AlanDewey (talk) 19:15, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't see why not, so long as these are official documents that others could get access to, for guidance on that see WP:RS. You do want to be careful not to do original research, however. I'm pretty new here, too, dunno if I'll ever figure it all out. --Nuujinn (talk) 00:23, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Links to scans of articles are not suitable, both because scans can be tampered with and because scans of articles are often (as in this case) blatant violations of the copyrights of the initial article's creators. If the articles actually existed, they should be verifiable in the original publications. Likewise, the websites of publishers and others with a conflict of interest are not generally reliable sources of impartial information. --Orange Mike | Talk 23:31, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

More references have been added. The history is largely from a local historian, making it difficult to cite from the internet. There's a few different news sources now, along with reputable websites for the festival & golf course. Think it looks better now? Thanks Froggieskc (talk) 13:48, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

The references are better (not good, but better). The tone still needs a lot of work--I'd suggest just dropping the first two paragraphs. You need a lead, and rework the prose to be more neutral. Use of the local historian is tricky, as it seems to me that you're engaging in original research. Have you tried searching Google new archives? --Nuujinn (talk) 00:16, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

This looks like an important organisation worthy of an encyclopedia article. I have a few comments:

The name is very long. Perhaps Intelligent Manufacturing Systems will do. The fact that it is capitalised will indicate that it is the name of something, not just a topic.
Can you find mentions of the organisation in independent sources? This would help to show that other people think that IMS is worthy of mention and give some balance. At the moment you only have the IMS website.
Use <ref> tags more to build up the reference section at the bottom of the page. It would also be helpful to format the citations and add additional information using {{cite url}}, {{cite journal}} or {{cite book}}
Is the Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing related to IMS? If it is you should probably mention it. If not, it may provide some useful independent sources.

Use an organization template, to give it body.
When making references, use template:cite to format them, and use <ref> and <ref/> tags to include them in a {{references}} section.

My biggest concern is the paucity of references from reliable sources indicating that the company is notable. The Boston Globe does mention the company, but it is a relatively minor mention - one paragraph out of a longer article. I wasn't able to read the other two references, but, based upon the context, it appears they talk generically about food tours rather than this company. One paragraph of coverage is far short of the standard.--SPhilbrick T 15:26, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Truman's Beer

Hello,

This is the first time I have created a Wikipedia page and would like to check that it meets all the necessary conventions.

I have been researching Truman's for the last few months as part of a personal interest in east London history. Despite the fact that they were once the world's largest brewery there are not man books on them. The London Metropolitan archives, where almost all the source material was found, has many photos and original letters and recipes. I intend to add photos later, but am waiting for the opportunity to photograph some of the images held by the archive.

I have also been looking into how to move this article onto the main site, but do not meet the criteria of having made 10 edits. I have tried to read the section about what to do in this situation, but am frankly a bit confused. If anybody could help with this it would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

User:Mghemus/Truman's Beer

Mghemus (talk) 15:30, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

The draft version is here Truman's_Beer
A good start, but could use a bit more work before moving into main space. I'll be happy to do it for you, but let's make sure it is insufficient shape to fend off the deletionists.
I made a couple minor editorial changes.
If you are poking around the London Library, you might check to see if they have "A history of beer and brewing" By Ian Spencer Hornsey Among other things, it notes that the Truman family was involved in brewing in 1381, and probably has other material worth referencing. Here is an online link to the Hornsey book
Plus you'll want to check out this if you haven't already.
Many reader won't know what "PLC" means. (I made a change - see if it is OK)
I don't like how the quote is incorporated in the Growth Years section, but I need to figure out why, and come up with a suggestion.--SPhilbrick T 16:02, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

BTW, you mention that Truman's became a plc. Isn't "Truman's" the name of the beer, rather than the company name? Isn't the company name the Black Eagle or Truman, Hanbury, Buxton & Co. Ltd?--SPhilbrick T 16:10, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

You might also look for "The curiosities of ale & beer: an entertaining history" By John Bickerdyke (page 356)--SPhilbrick T 16:21, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello

Thank you very much for your feedback, obviously it's extremely helpful.

- If you would be happy to do a bit more work at the start before the main space that would be great - I think you have a better idea of what needs doing to get that section right. - Thanks for the editorial changes - I have been trying to find the Hornsey book, unfortunately it is about $75 to buy and none of the libraries I have visited currently has it. What I have read on the google extracts seems very good. The reason I omitted the mention of a Truman family being involved in brewing in 1381 is because there is no definite proof that they are from the same family. There is then no mention of any Truman's in brewing until the 17th century. However, I could add this in if you think it is valid information. - I looked for survey 27 but the London Metropolitan Archive has unfortunately 'misplaced it' - I spent quite a long time with them trying to track it down, but it is the one survey in their collection that is not there. Apparently there might be a copy in another library, but I have yet to make down there. - Thanks for making the PLC change - Let me know about the quote in the Growth section, if you think it is inappropriate then I can take it out. - The original name of the company was Truman but it was known as and referred to itself as 'Truman's Beer', which is why I selected this name. As time progress it became Truman & Hanbury Co. Ltd. and then Truman, Hanbury and Buxton Co. Ltd. but it was still referred to by the public as Truman's Beer. Prior to being shut down, Grand Metropolitan shortened the name to just Truman's (which was the name that remained in use when shut down in 1989). Perhaps the entry should be called 'Truman, Hanbury & Buxton Co. Ltd. with the term 'Truman's Beer' also linking to the page? - The name of the main London brewery was 'Black Eagle Brewery', named after the street on which it was built (Black Eagle Street) - I will include a reference to John Bickerdyke with regards to the creation of Porter. Not a source I had seen before.

Lastly, I have rephotographed many of the hundreds of photos that they have of the old brewery, pubs and vehicles. I also have the necessary permission to re-publish them. Do you think it would help the entry to add photos? They are all black and white and from the turn of the 20th Century.

The article does not yet demonstrate the book's "notability". If a subject meets notability guidelines, it is kept; if it does not, it is considered non-notable and should be deleted. The notability guideline
To make the article encyclopedic, try to find information about how the author wrote it, popular , and critical reception.

Freedom Deep Freedom Deep a feature film by Aaron Stevenson (Me) John Ranko (talk) 02:58, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for asking for reviews before submitting this article. I've gone over it and compiled a list of comments:

As you have a major conflict of interest with this subject, Wikipedia advises that you refrain from editing this article. If you choose to continue, please exercise great caution and abide by Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy.
In addition to the conflict of interest issue, the film does not yet meet Wikipedia's "notability" criteria. If a subject is deemed non-notable, it is subject to deletion. If a film is notable by Wikipedia's standards, it should meet the guidelines outlined here.

The article says the film has "attained a strong cult following", that "much has been documented about its troubled low budget production history", and that there is a "great deal of debate and discussion about Freedom Deep". If these claims can be backed up by reliable sources such as newspaper/magazine articles, the film will meet the guidelines. Press releases are not considered.

If the film does not meet the above linked outlines, it may be notable if it meets the general notability guideline. The GNG basically states that if the film has been covered by multiple reliable sources, it may be notable. Filmint and Encore may add to the film's potential notability, but do not satisfy the requirement by themselves.
I have gone through the article and formatted it without changing any words. I've also tagged several ^{[citation needed]}s, where references should be provided.

I hope these comments help. Again, Wikipedia strongly encourages you not to edit the article due to your conflict of interest. If you are increasing awareness for the film as you stated in the Encore interview, someone will likely create the article for you sooner or later. If you have questions about these comments, please contact me by leaving me a message. I will respond on your talk page. Thanks, liquidluck✽talk 22:38, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Night of the Grizzlies

After User:Imgahn2u created a page Night of the Grizzlies a few days back, I put together the above. Not sure now that it is done, as it seems to be less about the book and more like a description of the events in the book.

I do agree with Imgahn2u in that I feel it is probably an important book, even if only from the point of view of recording a part of the history of the national park service, and Glacier in particular.

My frustration lies in not being able to find anything which provides support in the way of notability for the book itself - no reviews, no indication of sales (other than hearsay "best seller among backpacking community").

Maybe it shouldn't be about the book, and I should rewrite it as an article about that night? Or should I just slap it in the book article and let it develop as it will from there?

Thoughts, input, guidance, structural changes and recommendations? All welcome :-). Best wishes. --Haruth (talk) 14:18, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

I think you have a good article there. From [[3]], I think it's safe to call the incident "Night of the Grizzlies" since there is some news coverage of the event using that name.

Google news is a good place to start, please take a look at [this], and for citation format see WP:CITE. The prose is pretty good, but could use some cleanup.

Right now there are sources that discuss one venue that the company has worked on. Looking at searches there appears to be more and that needs to be incorporated into the article. I had changed it to a Scottish company based on the two sources that are currently in the article, but then I noticed that the Scottish company is also linked from within the article.

The Wi-Fire by hField

This article is about a product called the Wi-Fire. It is made by a company called hField Technologies Inc. This article details its specifications and other usability statistics and information.

The page also gives an overview of the Wi-Fire's uses (where it can be used, as well as many other examples of use) and gives a description of how to install the product.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Krg210 (talk • contribs)

Page looks good and cites several sources from the media.

One of my concerns is how to publish it, since Grave Disorder already exists. Is there any assistance for making a disambiguation page?

Thanks! :)

Techeric46052 (talk) 14:14, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

I do not believe the article is ready for the mainspace at this time. There is a strong possibility that if the article is put into the mainspace as it currently exists it will be tagged for speedy deletion under the unambiguous advertising criteria. Even if rewritten to remove the advertising laguage it still probably wouldn't survive. There is indication in the article that it meets any of the criteria in the proposed notability guideline for fiction. The notability guideline is the best place to find some ways to establish notability. If you need any clarification let me know. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 16:09, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

If you can address the concerns mentioned by User:GB fan, there won't be a need for a disambiguation page, it can be addressed with a hatnote. A disambiguation page generally is needed when there are three or more items.--SPhilbrick T 20:40, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Barbara Kellerman (Acdaemic)

Dear Wikipedia editors:

Would it possible to have the following page for Professor Barbara Kellerman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Kellerman_(Academic) show up under the "Kellermann" surname category (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kellerman)?

Professor Kellerman is a Professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and this page is about her career and work.

Currently only Barbara Kellerman the actress is shown. I would like to have Barbara Kellerman (Academic) also show up. Moreover, is it possible to have Barbara Kellerman (Academic) automatically appear when typing in the search field?

Please tell me if there is anything I can do to help in this process.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Best, Mike

I have added Barbara Kellerman (Academic) to the Kellerman page. I have also added a hatnote to the Barbara Kellerman article to direct people to the Barbara Kellerman (Academic) if that is who they are looking for. The Barbara Kellerman (Academic) article need to have refernces added to it. As a biography of a living person it will be under increased scrutiny to ensure all the information is corrent in it. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 20:42, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

User:Bobh00000/35H00060_Battery_Series Bobh00000 (talk) 01:56, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

I find it hard to believe we would want a separate article on each and every model of battery in existence - I doubt there are sufficient discussions of individual models in reliable sources to justify individual articles. (You have one reference, but I don't believe an online catalog qualifies as an acceptable reference.)

However, I can imagine that it might make sense to include information on specific models either within an article about the specific kind of battery, or as an organized list article. See List of battery types to help identify where it might better belong.

I also suspect other editors have thoughts on how best to accomplish your goal, I urge you to poke your head in at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Energy and see what they think.--SPhilbrick T 20:36, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

I have recently researched and written a new entry about American furniture designer Dakota Jackson. I just moved it to go live and I would like some feedback about the article. Thanks!

It's very promotional in tone, reads like an advertisement. The prose should present the subject from a neutral point of view. I've tagged it as such. It's well referenced, tho, and I think you have established notibility. The references could use some work in terms of formatting, see WP:CITE for guidance, and feel free to drop any questions on my talk page. Hope that helps, --Nuujinn (talk) 20:26, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. I will give it another go to make it more neutral. In regards to neutrality, I will adjust the prose, but I was wondering if maybe there is too much detail, that may be unnecessary a (i.e. early life when I go into his performance background, and career when I discuss his 'design philosophy/aesthetic'). Should I just be more clear cut/get to the point? Co you think that will help? I will also review my formatting for my references. This is my first article, so I am trying to find my footing, I suppose. Thanks again for your feedback. Strohlnco (talk) 17:26, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, one thing to think about would be whether the article is about the person or the person's company--right now the article is a little about both, and that seems to be the case for many articles about designers and architects. I'd suggest pruning the text. I took the liberty of trimming the lead, and the early life section. I suggest avoiding phrases such as "He first emerged", "one-of-a-kind", as puffery, what you should strive for is a neutral tone. Also, you have references, but sometimes it's not clear how much is referenced. For example, in the career section each paragraph makes a number of claims, but has only one reference. It's easy to reference more often if you use a named reference, see WP:REFNAME. Hope that helps, --Nuujinn (talk) 11:14, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Generally, editors ask here about new articles, or major overhauls, such as expansions from stubs to full article. This article has been around for years, and while you have made some nice additions to it recently, I'd suggest that feedback would be best provided by the Wikiproject - for example, perhaps you feel that the article now deserves to be moved up on the quality scale. This article is within WikiProject Medicine. You might also check with members of the Neurology task force.

I agree with Nuujinn, good start. A couple specific comments:

The sentence that starts "Thematic learning is based on the idea..." is quite important, should be referenced. If it comes from the reference at the end of the paragraph, I'd move the footnote to this sentence. (Practice varies, and not everyone agrees, but I like to see the footnote immediately after important claims. If the footnote supports only the second sentence, you should add a reference for this central point.)
It's a bit heavy on the bold. In your list of main steps, consider bolding only the action word
Lack of parallelism - the main word in your list of main steps is a verb for the first two (good) and a noun in the second two. Can you find a verb for all four?
You talk about "Macro or Micro theme", apparently important because it is in bold, but you don't define or use either concept (or maybe you did use it, but I missed it because it wasn't defined).
"Rote" should not be capitalized (I fixed it)
"Learning with Understanding" is bold and capitalized. Is it a term of art? If so, it needs a definition and a reference. Or if you simply meant "learning with understanding", drop the caps and the bold.--SPhilbrick T 19:33, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

A few comments:

I will remove the tag
This phrase "As with many if not most speculative business promoters, Reynolds’ fortunes rose and fell numerous times during his career." says almost nothing. Consider removing it. If it is important, it should be referenced.
This statement "Reynolds later bragged he’d triggered the biggest shopping riot in history" could use a reference.
In your aviator section, you make reference to K-2. However, K-2 is nowhere near the Amne Machin range in Tibet, it isn't even in Tibet. Oddly, there was a claim that K-2 was higher than Everest, but I don't think it came from Reynolds. The reference you include mentions Amne Machin, but not K-2.

Links to other parts of wikipedia should be done with wikilinks not external links. I fixed the first few so you can see how to do it. It's easier to do wikilinks than external links.
Generally speaking, if a term is used multiple times, it is wikilinked only the first time (there are exceptions, e.g. infoboxes and long articles)
You have a number of references, which is good, but you have quite a number of factual claims begging for a reference.
There are standard styles for citing books and references - you might look at WP:CITE and footnotes for help.
None of your references contain links to online material. This is acceptable, but it is easier for readers to access material if it can be found online - is it really the case that none of the material you reference can be found online? If some is online, and you don't know how to reference it, let me know.
Overall, looks like a good start. It should become a fine article soon.--SPhilbrick T 12:34, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

One more thing - I personally find it very helpful to use the optional citation gadget. To install, go to "My preferences", select the rightmost tab "Gadgets", the check the box next to refTools (in the Editing gadgets section). Once installed, it will add a new button "Cite" to your editing toolbar. Click on it to add a citation. Makes it much easier.--SPhilbrick T 12:37, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

You've provided some references, but not the way they need to be presented in Wikipedia. See WP:CITE and footnotes for specific information on how to do references, and see Article Layout, which will help with the placement of references, and explain why I removed your first section head.

Couple of Manual of Style and other points: section headings should not contain Wikilinks; external links in the the body of the article should be kept to an absolute mininum - so there is no need to link to the company's website in the lead paragraph, the External links section is the place for that link. The second paragraph is written a bullet-list, albeit with leading dashes instead of bullets - this should be turned into prose rather than a list.

The draft is quite improved, but a few things to note:

"PSA’s growth is rooted in: a customer focused approach to service and support" sounds more like a PR release than an encyclopedia article.
"CMPRO is currently being assessed by the Institute of Configuration Management..." is not technically a violation of WP:FUTURE, but it isn't what one expects in an encyclopedia - consider removing it and adding when it is accomplished.
I made some minor copy edit changes
You had one remaining embedded cite, I converted it
The three items in the Boeing section all have factual claims begging for a reference.
If you address these, I'd say you are good to go - be aware that we are all volunteers and my say-so does not insulate you against a possible Notability concern from another editor - I see it as a close call.--SPhilbrick T 18:44, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Kronid Lyubarsky

Kronid Lyubarsky: Leader of the Moscow Helsinki Group from 1993 to 1996 and one of the editors of the samizdat publication Chronicle of Current Events.

I am not sure how much of the article should be sourced; I could add more info on his trial using the Amnesty International translations of the "Chronicle" itself; but this seems redunant, as he was its editor.

Most of the information is taken from the book on him published in Russia; sourcing individual paragraphs seems superfluous.

Also, I am not sure if the chronological structure of the article is OK and how much, if anything, should be mentioned in the first sentence of the article.

Nkrita (talk) 16:00, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

I think it looks pretty good. You might check out WP:CITE for guidance in citing sources, but I think you have the general idea down well. If you use a named reference, it's easy to tag multiple parts of an article to the same reference. I think the structure looks pretty good, but you might see if you can find a public domain picture and add a biographical infobox.

Anti Cancer Diet

I don't think you are going to like my feedback, but here it is. You mentioned that you presented it in school—when you work on an essay in school, you are applauded for original research and synthesis, but neither are appropriate for a Wikipedia article. The ideal article presents material in an organized way, but the material must all be supportable by reliable sources, and you must take care to avoid presenting results that are not supported by reliable sources.

Your article is more of an essay on a topic, but it isn't entirely clear how to identify the subject matter. The title implies a discussion of the general concept of anti-cancer diets, but then it goes on to discuss a specific diet. You next discuss four specific foods but not in the context of a specific diet.

As an aside, I happen to be having dinner with a health care professional, who agreed that green tea, olive oil and tumeric are all anti-cancer, but she claims soy is not anti-cancer, perhaps even contributing to cancer. Obviously, the word of my dinner companion doesn't satisfy verifiability, but it does cast doubt on the list.

The Servan-Schreiber book may or may not be notable in itself, but this isn't a review of the book, so it doesn't really matter. You've obviously done some work pulling this together, and I'm struggling to find a way to recommend how to organize the material so it would be an acceptable article, but I'm not finding a good solution. You might visit the respective articles on the four foods, and see if some of the material you gathered can enrich those articles, but that won't help you if your goal is turning this into an article in this form. --SPhilbrick T 23:49, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, this is my first article and I'm keen to get some feedback, thanks. User:Ellyrobi/Australian Institute of Family Studies Thanks Ellyrobi (talk) 07:52, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Good start, well-written and organized. The major concern I have is with Notability, which I suspect can be addressed. The organization has been in existence for some time and has published a number of studies, but there's no evidence in the article that these studies have been used in any way. I'm sure they have, but you should include some references to reliable sources showing discussion of the reports, ideally showing that conclusions have influenced policy.--SPhilbrick T 16:04, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much, great ideas. I'll address these issues, which shouldn't be too hard. Should I then gain feedback here again? Or can I go on to publish the article? Ellyrobi (talk) 03:37, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
