Himalayan Cataract Project == Done I could use your help in making this labor of love Himalayan Cataract Project a more compliant Wikipedia article. I need help with links, style, edits, and general flow. We hope that this article will not be removed for minor technicalities. Your input is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Salwa and Anya Kayguarnay (talk) 21:53, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to take so long to get to this. I think the thing to focus on with this article would be to get additional reliable sources to establish notability. As it stands the article has only the project's web site as a source, and that won't do. What you need are sources like books and articles in magazines or newspapers. Foreign sources are ok if you can provide translations on request. This might help. See also WP:CITE for guidance. Drop me a note on my talk page when you have incorporated more sources and I'll take another look. --Nuujinn (talk) 01:08, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

An interview you conducted constitutes original research, and their own website is not independent, therefore not a reliable source. You need to use sources such as news articles, magazines, books, etc. to show the center's notability. —fetch ·comms 19:26, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

I'll put what I think in a minute, but the tag is removed after someone's reviewed the article - they can remove it themselves. Let me just read the article... Chevymontecarlo. 18:51, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, with articles on businesses you have to be careful with the tone. Articles aren't supposed to sound like adverts. That said, the tone in your article seems to be OK. There's a nice amount of references and links, although I am concerned about the notability of the article's subject (Basically, is the article's subject been featured in something independent and major). I will remove the tag for you, as I have reviewed it. Chevymontecarlo. 18:56, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Yes, in my opinion I think you should use the normal reference style, the one with the brackets, instead - just for more comfortable reading really. Apart from that I think you have a good article structurally, it's nicely organised. Chevymontecarlo. 04:51, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Girls of Riyadh

I edited your article about the book "Girls of Riyadh" because it was not appropriate to the story of this book. <redacted> You immediately deleted my changes which have cost me some work trying to improve your site. All Information I have entered I got from Rajaa Alsanea' s book itself which I have read and which, at least in the German version, also displays the story behind the book, how it became a book at all and how her blog was discussed before it became a book and for how much it was sold under the counter. It is interesting that you classified that all as "vandalism". Just two minutes ago I visited her website www.rajaa.net where I read (I know that she received many insults anyhow) that she got even death threats because of her blog and her book. I would like to ask you to add that as well as everything else which I have edited to your article "Girls of Riyadh".

and : if you don' t want to display correct information and don' t want anybody to help you, just stop asking for "entries". I have to say I am angry.

took me : only several hours only to be told I do "vandalism". How about correcting that and leaving me a note or an excuse why your system works as bad as that ?

Read the book yourself, visit her website yourself, talk to her if nobody can do it better than you yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.187.106.182 (talk) 00:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Can I just say no one person creates any article, hundreds or even thousands of users are involved in improving the article. Just because another user reverted your edits doesn't mean that they have a grudge against you. You can post why you think your edits are important on that particular article's talk page. Thank you.

Michelle Prak, 10 May 2010, Michelle JP (talk) 04:24, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

You will need some references because as soon as it is moved into the public area of Wikipedia it is likely to just be speedily deleted. You can visit WP:CITE or this page for more information about putting references into an article.

Many articles use the 'footnote' method. If you are unsure you can ask on the WP:HD. I hope you understand. Chevymontecarlo. 05:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I think the society is notable, but the article needs a lot of work. You need to add references from reliable sources so that the information can be verified. The article right now is closer to a website for the society rather than an article about it. I also think the article is almost to close of a paraphrase of history section of their website. If you need clarification let me know. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 23:07, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Greetings! As this is my first Wikipedia article, I'd appreciate some feedback. The article has had 2 minor edits by others, but after more than a month still retains its "new unreviewed article" status. I'd be very interested in opinions about what other information would be interesting to readers. Thanks for your time!

GoldenDaze (talk) 15:56, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Nice article! I moved it to Robert Turnbull Macpherson (there is no need for disambiguation), cleaned up the formatting a little and added some project templates to the talk page. I think it's definitely worth a nomination for a "Did you know?" spot on the main page - I'll see if I can come up with a good hook to use. – ukexpat (talk) 16:32, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Ukexpat for the comments and updates.

72.207.237.93 (talk) 04:09, 11 May 2010 (UTC) 5/10/10

You have a good article in the making there. It's got plenty of links and references, which is always nice and keeps it out of deletion territory. One issue I have with your article is the style. On Wikipedia you have to try and be neutral, the text cannot be opinionated or biased towards or away from the article's subject, otherwise it is not encyclopedic. Your article does not have a point of view, but some of it maybe could do with some rewriting. Hope my thoughts help you and good luck with improving your article.

Seeker Wireless

User:Elliot Sumner/Seeker Wireless

Hi - would appreciate any advice you guys might have as to the validity of this article with regards to notability, citations etc.

The subject is a company but it's intended to be as objective as possible.

Any tips much appreciated.

Thanks

Elliot Sumner (talk) 07:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

My biggest concern is the lack of references from reliable sources indicating that the company is notable. While you have included three references - the first is (IMO) reliable, but does not mention Seeker. The second mentions Seeker, but may not qualify as a Reliable Source. The third is a Press Release, which can be used, but does not count in terms of reliable sources. Which means you have either zero or one source - more are needed.--SPhilbrick T 14:19, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much Sphilbrick - I've updated the refs (added 2 new ones, and swapped the last for a Straits Times article) - do you think this is enough? Elliot Sumner (talk) 03:53, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, much better - I removed the unreviewed template. Thanks for your contribution.--SPhilbrick T 21:45, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

User:Bengomori/George_Gomori_(poet,_writer,_scholar)

{{done}} Hi there

Added a page for my father who is a celebrated Hungarian poet and writer - there's already a George Gomori listed on here so have pt the differentiation in brackets.

only the second thing I've added so not sure if I've done everything right to get it submitted and reviewed—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bengomori (talk • contribs)

Few points: You are related to the subject and therefore have a conflict of interest, so you edits will be heavily scrutinised for a neutral point of view. Having said that, your father is almost certainly notable per the guidelines at WP:BIO and WP:PROF, but that notability must be supported by citing non-trivial coverage in multiple reliable sources (note that other Wikipedia articles cannot be used as references). So you will have to find some sources that can be cited. Your father is clearly a very prolific writer, but long lists of publications are not necessarily encyclopedic(and could at worst be considered promotional), so you should probably reduce that list to his major publications, those that have won awards for example. I have made a start Wikifying the article with links to other articles, and I am sure more could be done. When the article is moved the title should probably be George Gomori (writer). I hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 20:50, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

[b]Most of the books in the bibliography are out of print - hardly promotional!

Sources to be cited - there is one in the external links at the bottom. Do you mean I have to cite some in the body of the text itself? [/b] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bengomori (talk • contribs)

I think this is an excellent article. The info box is great, there are plenty of links, there are references (but not that many for the first parts of the article) and it definitely needs no extra work to be Wikified. The only issue I found is with the references - there aren't that many for the opening or 'education' section, and in the 'humanitarian activities' section the references seem to be only for the last few sentences, so maybe a few more references should be added to the sections that I have just mentioned. Hope this helps. Chevy monte carlo 18:58, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

You may want to review Wikipedia's guidelines on linking, you have duplicate links in the article, as well as links to reviews and external cites while simultaneously having a large amount of writing that is unsourced. You might want to change some of the reviews/external links into sources and use them to support the article. Also, the article reads a bit like an advertisement rather than an encyclopedia article and might need some rewriting. ialsoagree (talk) 12:35, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I did an initial read of the article. At first glance it looks good, but after looking at just the sources provided the notability is questionable. I have not looked to see if there are additional sources available.

References:

The NY Times article mentions him in passing, this is not significant coverage.
His association's website, this is not a reliable source for information.
I have never heard of Perfect Sound Forever online music magazine, so I can not comment on the reliability of the source.
I do not have access to the book written by Goldman.
I do not have access to the book.
Passing mention that he produced the the album.
Once again passing mention of him in an article.
There does not appear to be any mention of him or his association in the article at all.
A review of one of his albums.

There needs to be significant coverage of him in reliable sources to establish notability, right now the coverage is not shown in the article. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 18:55, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

I think it looks pretty good. The layout of the beginning is a bit awkward (although it will look different for different people.)

Just created a page describing a software company. I'd like some constructive feedback!

The article is User:Msaarima/Monolith_Software. I will add a Logo once my user profile has become a man.

Thanks! Msaarima (talk) 21:37, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

You have some items labeled as references, they are not formed as they should be. As a guide to including references properly, please see Citing sources and footnotes.
Presumably, the links you provided support the claims in the "Song Writer" section? If not, you need to add references.
Your "Musical Director/Television" Starts with a poorly formed sentence- not sure what you intended to say. The claim in that sentence should be supported by references.--SPhilbrick T 19:03, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Earthdance This is my first wikipedia article on Earthdance, the global festival for peace. I look forward to your feedback! Brettdarrens (talk) 06:04, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I started reading the opening paragraph and the first thing that came to my mind was the Point Of View of the article. 'The world's largest' seems a bit biased in style - Wikipedia articles are supposed to be neutral in tone. Your article has a good structure with a useful amount of links and references, but I think the neutrality of the article is something that maybe you should think about making improvements to.

Adelaide_Benevolent_Society

Hello

The page I've contributed is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaide_Benevolent_Society

I've been asked to provide References, but I'm finding it really hard to learn how to do this. Everything I look up leads to more and more info. And what's a reputable reference? And how the heck does the code for the Reference page work?

The article has been proposed for deletion. I'm unsure why Adelaide Benevolent Society isn't a charity of note, if it's South Australia's first charity, still in existence, still building homes for people in need. It's a not for profit and is only sharing factual information on Wikipedia which may help it reach more people in need.

Potential reference I was going to cite: http://www.samemory.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=530&c=1727

United States Court System

I have been searching for "Block Diagrams" of the various Court Systems in the United States.

I have a few ideas for improvements:

Add some more links - Links help with readability. Although there are a few links in the article already, you could link to a few more articles.
Write an opening paragraph - An opening paragraph which provides a brief overview of the article's subject is always useful. I think you should move some of the sentences from the 'Overview' section into a paragraph at the start.
Add a few more references - You have made a good start adding references to the article, but there could be more. Try looking around the Internet for more information and you could also add useful sites to an 'External links' section. Remember that there are also many valuable references and sources that are not on the Internet. You can use those for your article too.

I hope I've given you some decent feedback. Good luck with your article! Chevymontecarlo. 11:03, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Alternatively, as the section called "overview" is really a lede, you could remove the section heading and make it the lede. See WP:LEAD for more info.--SPhilbrick T 21:29, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Additionally, one of the important requirements of an article in Wikipedia is that it demonstrate the Notability of the topic.

The article itself looks fine, although it would be nice to reference the induction, but I'd like to know what you mean regarding the picture, where you say you created it yourself. Isn't is a copy from here? If so, that's a copyright violation.--SPhilbrick T 23:01, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

However, now having looked at the text, it looks like a copy from the same source. Unless you can convince me that the City of Lancaster copied the wording from you, this is a copyright violation.--SPhilbrick T 23:06, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

The wording is virtually identical, so I have identified it as a copyright issue, which Wikipedia takes very seriously. Sometimes there are acceptable reasons for identical wording, in some cases, we've found that some other site has copied the Wikipedia wording, sometimes the wording has come form another place but you've obtained permission, or both sites may have copied from a public domain site. The first doesn't appear to be likely, if it is one of the other two examples, permission must be provided. Or perhaps there's another explanation.--SPhilbrick T 23:20, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi -- I'm not sure if this is the right place to post -- i'm just trying to avoid COI.

I noticed a couple years ago that somebody had created a wikipedia page about me, and updated a couple of things. I noticed again today that it hadn't been updated with a few key facts (e.g. I'm not a PHD candidate any longer, I graduated.)

So I made some small changes, but I'm happy to roll those changes back if you feel that there is a COI problem.

Thanks.

The ideal situation is to post suggestions on the talk page, with links to sources for verification, then let some uninvolved editor check out the source and make the change.

However, from WP:AUTO:

In clear-cut cases, it is permissible to edit pages connected to yourself. So, you can revert vandalism; but of course it has to be simple, obvious vandalism and not a content dispute. Similarly, you should feel free to correct mistaken or out-of-date facts about yourself, such as marital status, current employer, place of birth, and so on. :(Note it on the talk page.) Be prepared that if the fact has different interpretations, others will edit it.--SPhilbrick T 19:25, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Nicely organize, but I do have a couple concerns. Some of the language comes across as a bit promotional, more like a sales brochure than an encyclopedia. Not blatant, but phrases such as:

ATE capabilities at costs normally associated with bench top test equipment
easily upgraded in the field
increases the flexibility
unique

aren’t quite in keeping with the goal of neutrality.

In addition, it is important to establish the notability via references to reliable sources. You do have a couple references, but you should find discussion of this company in other media, ideally general media, such a newspapers.SPhilbrick T 12:41, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

So as not to catch you by surprise and for full transparency's sake, yes I am a Swanson employee and am aware of the potential COI issue. Please take a look at my draft User:Hansonbe and let me know what you think. Thank you in advance for any criticism you provide. Hansonbe (talk) 13:41, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, while I can tell you are trying for neutrality, it reads like it was written by an employee.

There’s a reason this approach is discouraged.

The anecdote about a golf game hampered by arthritis – not referenced, presumably known about by word of mouth. If this had been part of a newspaper story about the founding of the company, perhaps OK, but as an unsourced personal anecdote, not appropriate.

I’m guessing the FDA incident is an attempt as balance, and that’s a good sign, but while the incident is sourced, the claimed remedy “To ensure compliance with the regulations of the FDA, SHP adjusted the ingredients in their red yeast rice supplements to fall within the acceptable range” is unsourced.

You have a number of references, but I see zero examples of discussion of this company in general media sources, or even trade publications beyond minor entries.

I wish I could be more positive, but I don’t feel it is suitable in the current state.SPhilbrick T 14:04, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

After a certain time in the industry, they seem to become tone-deaf to the difference between copywriting and legitimate prose (or perhaps it is just those types who are drawn to the trade). They also seem to lose (if they ever had) any sensitivity to the concept that not everybody approves of this kind of shameless shilling. Claire posted on my talk page that she is "a plugger, not a publicist"; an incomprehensibly subtle distinction that reminds me of the social hierarchies in prisons between the various types of felons and misdemeanants (different kinds of murderers and rapists get different levels of status). --Orange Mike | Talk 14:07, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Looks like a fascinating article, and will be a nice addition to Wikipedia, but I see a few details that should be addressed.

The opening "The Nelson touch is" isn't a complete sentence.
Per Manual of Style, your first image should be right-aligned
The main text should be left-aligned, not indented.
Don't use an asterisk ("sections*") to denote a footnote, use a footnote.
Your references (e.g. Nelson the Admiral - Colin White) need to be complete citations so readers can track down the reference, if desired.
Make sure every factual claim can be traced to the references - I see hints of possible Original Research.
Remove the placeholder external link, it is provided to show you how to do it. --SPhilbrick T 11:07, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

I have reformatted the article (image on the right etc).

I have added page numbers to the references.

I don't think there is any original research in the article and I think I have referenced everything but if you can tell me exactly which part is worrying you, I will take another look.

I really struggled with the footnotes. I hope I have done it correctly.

With regards to the 'placeholder external link', I am afraid that I don't know what that is. Please excuse my ignorance.

I would be happy to receive any more feedback and advice. Regards--Ykraps (talk) 08:07, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

The placeholder external link is just a temporary example to show you how to add external links to an article.

This is my first wiki, so be kind. There is more to be said about the credit union, but I felt that a good introductory presence is fair and proper for this business. Thanks so much.

JAMES62-1 (talk) 19:30, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for being up-front; that's great, and we'll try and help.

The use of primary sources is OK, for simple factual statements, however all articles need to demonstrate "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the source". The awards helps, but more would be better. I'd like to see some information coming from newspaper articles about the company.

Your links to other Wikipedia articles are done incorrectly. For example, you put;

...defined in its credit union [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter charter].

...which displays as: ...defined in its credit union charter.

Instead, you should put...

...defined in its credit union [[Charter]].

which displays as: ...defined in its credit union Charter.

You can also link from one thing to another, called a 'piped link'. For example, I am a [[dentistry|dentist]]. displays as: I am a dentist.

Present neutral, factual information. For example, you wrote a diverse group of public and private companies - this is opinion, not fact; who says that they are diverse? And so on.

Please avoid the corporate jargon; it is a viable solution that has been sold to other verticals - I have no idea what this means.

Most importantly: Stick to cold, hard facts supported by independent, reliable sources. And ask for more help as you need. You can get rapid help with this or this. Chzz ► 20:30, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

weekly comic book review

Looking for feedback. I want to make sure the blog's notability is apparent. Weekly Comic Book Review User:Bestbeast/Weekly_Comic_Book_Review Bestbeast (talk) 00:35, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

The notability is not apparent from the information in the article. Only one of the references in the article are from a reliable source and that source does not mention Weekly Comic Book Review. The other sources in the article are either to Weekly Comic Book Review itself or to Wikipedia neither of which is a reliable source. To establish notability you will need to include references that are independent of Weekly Comic Book Review and provide significant coverage. I hope this helps you improve the article, if you need anything else let me know. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 00:58, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Preferred Hotel Group

I would appreciate any feedback on the following article: Preferred Hotel Group

This is a work in progress and more updates and information will follow.

Kpmtk19 (talk) 16:23, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry but it comes across as a promotional puff piece. Organizations are notable when they are the subject of multiple articles in reliable sources. While you have included four references, three appear to be internal industry material, very possibly not qualifying as a reliable source. The Conde Nast ref is probably OK, but it barely references the article subject if at all. It reads more like a PR summary than an encyclopedia article.--SPhilbrick T 21:12, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

I have tagged it (and the user page draft) for speedy deletion as spam. – ukexpat (talk) 17:28, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

This article is written in the same tone as Marriott International and Intercontinental Hotels Group and is far from spam. Instead of making suggestions or allowing time to add additional references (which there are MANY) speedy deletion is not the answer. I have seen many articles that have been sited for lack of references or notability since 2008 - why has this article been deleted so hastily and without opportunity to improve? Kpmtk19 (talk) 13:20, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

It was speedily deleted because that's what we do with blatant spam. If it was just a question of tweaking the tone, the reviewing admin would not have deleted it. I suggest that you ask the admin (User:Athaenara) to undelete the article to a user subpage so that you can work on it further before it is moved to the mainspace. – ukexpat (talk) 13:59, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I did that last week (see log) but it has not been edited since then. I'll delete the userspace version after two weeks have passed unless there's a strong argument here for keeping it around. – Athaenara ✉ 10:17, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

The Nelson Touch

I would be grateful if you could review User:Ykraps/The Nelson Touch. The 'Nelson Touch' is already mentioned in the main article about Lord Nelson but I felt it needed some elaboration as it doesn't give the whole story. There is also some debate about the phrase on the discussion page and there is no definitive answer within Wikipedia. I have already considered editing the article but thought it would make it far too messy, also I feel the phrase is sufficiently well known to warrant its own section; whether that is within another article under a sub-heading or on its own, I'm not certain. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this. Many thanks for your time --Ykraps (talk) 08:54, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

The article needs work. The article needs inline citations to associate the different references listed to specific points within the article. It also needs to be wikified with links to relevant articles added. The last thing I have right now is that there are some peacockish words one of the phrases is: "Nelson's genius for leadership . . ." I will try to come back and look again. Hope this helps. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 22:52, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I have added the citations, wiki links and replaced the word 'genius' with the word 'talent' which I hope you will find more acceptable. I would appreciate a second look :) Regards --Ykraps (talk) 07:14, 14 May 2010 (UTC) BUMP Chzz ► 02:27, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

I think you have done a very good job with the article. The article would probably benefit from having a lead paragraph (basically the opening paragraph you have) and then breaking the rest of the article into sections. I have removed the userspace draft tag since the article is in the mainspace and has been reviewed. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 11:05, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

User:AgRince/Social Science Research on Greatness

Hello

I posted a request for feedback over a week ago (14:36, 16 March 2010 (UTC)). Since most of the requests posted after mine have been responded to, i can only assume that mine somehow got inadvertantly buried in the pile... so i am reposted my request here.. but leaving out the short bit of old comments which may have been mistaken for a response..

i would really appreciate some feedback...

User:AgRince/Social Science Research on Greatness is my first wiki article.

i've rewritten it in my user space as per suggestion of one of your editors (ukexpat) who moved much longer initial version of it out of Afd back to my userspace, suggesting that i "...take a look at the tone, construction and flow of articles on similar topics to see how they are written and structure this article similarly..."

I looked at several articles on related topics, and then settled on one which most closely paralleled what i am trying to achieve re giving useful information in my article.

the model article i used is the wiki article on Multiple Intelligences

my article is now virtually the same length as the M Int article, and this despite the M Int article covering ~25 years of soc sci research while mine re Greatness covers over 100 years. I collapsed my summaries of major books into a few short paragraphs each. (eg Cox's book is over 800 pages, Eysenck's is 350 and virtually inaccessible to the lay reader).

I also referenced everything. (except the one specific lulu ref – Dorris (2009) – which I need to get an ok to use as lulu in general is black listed…)

Can you tell me if the current version is ok to resubmit for consideration as wiki article? if not, any suggestions very much appreciated AgRince (talk) 16:09, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I've just found your open request - even this one has been buried again - we're planning on making a few improvements so that doesn't happen in the future, though. As to the article, I think maybe an opening section should be either written or moved to the top, before the first section and very briefly summarising the article. You have done a great job with the references, it must've taken you ages, and it's brilliant. Well done with the article. If you want to move it into the mainspace, I'm afraid you'll have to ask someone else as I am not familiar with the process of it. You might want to ask on the Wikipedia Help Desk, or just make a small comment on a new section on this forum. Hope this helps and I am sorry that your request has been buried again :) Chevy monte carlo 18:42, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, and congratulations on the work you've put into this. I'll begin by saying that I really enjoyed reading what you'd written - it's certainly very interesting - and that I am impressed by your attention to detail. I regret that what I have to say next will please you less, though: it's my opinion that the article would probably have a difficult time if it were resubmitted in the mainspace, that someone would probably nominate it for deletion again. It might survive such a nomination, but I doubt it. From my perspective it's just far too broad a topic, and the selection of publications to draw upon for it is (imo) necessarily an arbitrary choice from among thousands of works. I imagine you'll not agree, but it seems to me that you're trying here to arrive at something like "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", and I recall that book's author stating that he'd synthesized the results and ideas of hundreds of books about how to be great. I do realize that you're trying to present "Social Science 'Research'" here, but I just don't see it working; I'm sorry. I think you might have to be content with the fairly large number of edits drawing on the same books that you made to the Greatness article. Do just as you please re resubmitting the article to mainspace, however, this is just one user's opinon. Good luck, Ohiostandard (talk) 04:33, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Abraham Lincoln Institute

I am working on my first article, an entry on an organization I am a part of named the User:Gleidner/Abraham Lincoln Institute. It is in my userspace and I believe it is close to ready (although I would like to make the institute's website a little more prominent than it is now--as a reference) but would appreciate feedback. I received some kind help from Wifione a few hours ago. Many thanks.

Gleidner (talk) 08:45, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I have not looked at your potential new article, but your comment of "an organization I am a part of" immediately brings to mind Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. You may already be aware of this guidance, but if not, it is well worth a look.

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 09:07, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

In addition to the above, please take a look at the notability guidelines for organizations set out at WP:ORG. To demonstrate the notability of the subject, you will have to cite significant coverage in reliable sources - the organization's website is not considered reliable for establishing notability. – ukexpat (talk) 17:55, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Since nothing has happened to your draft after the posts above, I suppose you have been effectively discouraged from editing it. For my part, I find the draft useful and would regret if your effort was in vain. It appears NPOV and uncontroversial; the problem is that notability isn't demonstrated. Maybe a solution could be that you correct these faults and then somebody uninvolved creates the article based on your draft (and other material, if they see fit)? --Jonund (talk) 17:33, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

In response to Jonund and others, I have revised the article, adding 9 or 10 web references that I believe will verify notability and references, as suggested. I would be glad for someone else to write the article based on my draft. What is the best link to submit this draft to? Thank you. Gleidner (talk) 13:46, 20 April 2010 (UTC) Gleidner

Well, it may work if you submit your article to Requested articles and briefly explain what you want happening. It may take a while to get a response, but I would continue to keep checking back on the forum to see if you have any responses. Chevy monte carlo 05:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Lela and Raymond Howard

I just wrote the article Lela and Raymond Howard. This the first article I have ever written on Wikipedia so I would appreciate it if someone could look at it. I read all of the articles on how to create a page and am sure the subject is noteable. I posted it on the drawing board and received an ok to make the page.

What concerns me is that I have only one reference that can be directly verified. Several of my sources are newpapers articles that are not posted online. A couple articles were mailed to me from the refence department of a library in Texas. Also, all of the Austin American Statesman articles can be viewed online, but only if you have an online account with the newspaper.

I don't know what the protocol is in this case. The whole reason I wanted to create this Wikipedia article is that there is so little information on the subjects online. I had to do quite a bit of digging to find out the information I did. Please let me know if this is adequate or what I need to do to correct it if it's not.

Also I created 2 redirects. One on the Raymond Howard page and this one: Lela Howard. I am not sure I did the Lela Howard one correctly as it does not immediately redirect me back to the main article. I don't know if I did something wrong or if this is because the main article is under review.

I fixed the Lela Howard redirect. It was not working because of the line above "#REDIRECT...". Station1 (talk) 00:42, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Do I show sufficient notability? I have been reading the notability guidlines extensively the past couple weeks to see if this article meets that criteria. Can someone tell me if this meets the criteria for WP:BIO1E? I think it's right on the edge.

These people disappeared which made national headlines. If that were the end of it then they would not be notable. However, several times since then (I found three different newspaper articles), the issue has arisen of senior citizens and driving cars; should there be restrictions, additional testing, etc., and Lela and Raymond Howard's name comes up in those articles. Does that constitute ongoing coverage? Obviously they are never going to be in the news again for doing anything different.

Someone please help! Saintlouieb (talk) 17:29, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Two new categories I would like reviewed

I would like Category:Adrenal gland disorder and Category:Thyroid neoplasm, 2 new categories I created recently, reviewed by a wikipedian with experience on categorization. Immunize (talk) 19:32, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Unless there's a good reason not to, I'd rename Category:Thyroid neoplasm to Category:Thyroid cancer. AFAIK the terms are equivalent, and most readers will know what "cancer" means but won't have a clue about "neoplasm". – iride scent 19:42, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

The issue is that Thyroid adenoma, which is included in the category, is a benign thyroid tumor and thus would not fit into the category:thyroid cancer. Otherwise I would fully support renaming the category. Immunize (talk) 19:59, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough – although it may (emphasis on "may") – be better to remove Thyroid adenoma from the category, and rename it. That way, the category can fit neatly as a subcategory of Category:Types of cancer, where I suspect are most likely to look for it. – iride scent 20:05, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

How do you rename a category? I do not see a move tab at the top of the category page. Immunize (talk) 15:59, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your request seems to have been buried by all the new ones so that's why you haven't been getting any replies. I have found a few issues with the article -

Lack of links in the middle part of the "Multi-image business" section - there is a big chunk of the article here with no links. Please try and add some more relevant ones if you can :)
References - as with many articles, please try and work on adding references to your article a bit more. There are whole paragraphs in the article that are unreferenced and are likely to be discovered when the article is moved into the mainspace.

Hello. I have found a few problems/issues with your article:

Links - you need to add a few more links to other articles to help the reader. I recommend starting with place names and "general" terms such as "documentary" and "film".
Sections - please try and divide the article up into sections. This makes it easier for someone to read and to jump to the information that they want. You can add sections by doing something like ==Awards== or ==Personal life== to create the sections with that title.
References - try and find a few more references if you can, and then add them into the article. There is also a problem with the URLs of references 2 and 3 - I think you have missed out the http:// prefix and as a result they're not showing up as a link.

It's a decent stub as far as it goes, although you need to fix the link to University of Edinburgh (and unlink the second one), but it needs multiple independent sources to establish the company's notability.

Caucasian Lapwing

This is just a simple entry referring to a fictional "character" in a novel. I am making this entry because some "rare bird alert" sites have had postings--whimsical, presumably--citing the appearance of the Caucasian Lapwing at popular birdwatching sites. There have been subsequent attempts by birders to identify this species, which of course they have never heard of. Wikipedia seems like the perfect resource to slake their curiosity.

I tried to upload an image of the cover of the book, which features a painted portrait of the bird, but alas I do not qualify under the 'autoconfirm' policy. Can you help with that? I am happy for forward the jpg image...

Hello, I am currently working on an article Persecution of Ottoman Muslims and Turks 1821-1922 I would appreciate some advice on the article structure and use of references. The article covers the historical exodus of the Ottoman Muslim Millet until the final days of the Empire. These are historically cohesive and interlinked events with significant notability, I would also appreciate your editing opinion if it would be correct to just redirect the article topic to Persecution of Muslims as this seems constantly happening to the article. --Hittit (talk) 07:26, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

This is probably not the best forum for feedback on an article such as this one. Obviously, anyone reading is welcome to chime in if they have something to say, but editors writing their first article are directed here, as well as editors working on expanding a stub. For that reason, many of the editors that patrol this forum are used to addressing more basic issues. The article you link has been around for seven years, with over 1000 edits.

Normally, an article with this much history is best reviewed by the experts hanging around the relevant Wikiproject; in this case WikiProject Religion, and/or specialized noticeboards or talk pages of, say Wikipedia:Citing sources for intricate issues regarding references. Issues such as titling are also best handled within the project or with an RfC. --SPhilbrick T 22:45, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

It's pretty good - (its notable and a good article), but you should add some references that not only show where you got info, but more why the topic is notable. Though I believe it is, this can keep it from being deleted or criticized about that. Maybe add the N.Y. Times mentioning (about fourth on Google search of it).

When I created a subpage in my user space I discovered that someone had previously submitted a page (about 3 years ago) on the same person and it was deleted for lack of notability. The notability has significantly improved now (And with the book also coming out in the US with a major publisher the notability will continue to rise) but I thought I had better get advice before I tried to go live with the page in case my judgement is wrong. I have put some references at the end. There are quite a few more of a similar nature (book reviews and interviews) and there are offline sources I can explore too. I thought I should check before spending too much time on this. Advice appreciated.

You've done a good job with this article, but there's still work to be done. There needs to be a few more references added - try adding references to other websites if you can. I also suggest that you should perhaps move the list of Public Collections into a table - there's a template that you can use at Template:Table. Hope this helps.

The Special Law of Curvilinear Disparity: Feedback Request

Curvilinear Disparity

It is a political theory that posits that party activists tend to be more radical than either party leaders or normal voters - if somebody gets a chance, a review would be very much appreciated. Sorry for reposting down here but I think it got a bit lost in the traffic over the last few days. Cheers. Eoinjones (talk) 10:33, 16 April 2010 (UTC) BUMP Chzz ► 01:29, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Nice article, well presented & I enjoyed reading it.

Hope you don't mind, but as I'm new to these reviews, I've just made minor improvements and therefore I've also removed the 'unreviewed' tag.

All the article needs now, IMHO, is links into it from related political articles,

so that the 'orphan' tag can be removed. I'll aim to do this over the next few days.

Trafford09 (talk) 14:50, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Excellent article. The references are a bit thin on the ground in places, though, so I think you should perhaps work on that. Chevy monte carlo 09:17, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

These links into it from related political articles may take me a while to add to, as this involves me changing other articles, which means me checking those articles' recent edits, and welcoming new users or chastising bad edits. But I don't think the links are too bad.

I'd archive this one (?), Chzz, and leave me or others to add in further links as & when we're able. Trafford09 (talk) 13:57, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Staffan Göthe

Hi! I would be grateful for feedback on the article I created on Swedish playwright and actor Staffan Göthe. Perhaps it's worth mentioning that my private motivation for creating it was largely wanting to try creating a new article on en-wp, and thus I came to write about a subject where I don't really have previous knowledge after browsing Sweden-related articles for redlinks. (The one I actually found, I think, was to his play En uppstoppad hund/A Stuffed Dog, but it seemed to me at least in this case that the author was more obviously notable than the work.) Göthes article on Swedish Wikipedia provided a good ground to start from, and largely this is still based on that, adding inline references, information about Göthe as a screen actor, information on what works have been translated into English and rough translations of Swedish-only titles, and one or two things more. I have some ideas myself on what to work on when I find the time/get around to it, but I feel that at this point I can benefit a lot from someone else taking a look at what I've done so far and commenting. And of course, it's nice to see only that someone has actually read it... While working on the Göthe article I also created the stub Gothenburg Theatre Academy, corresponding to sv:Teaterhögskolan i Göteborg. If you (whoever replies to this, that is) feel ambitious, of course I appreciate if you look at that also. (There I think sources are a very obvious problem. The article title might be another - how established is this English name?) Ever wonder (talk) 13:25, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello! And thank you for your article. I'm reading through your article and making these comments as I go:

You have included a lot of references which is brilliant! Each <ref></ref> tag is meant to only include one reference/website/book. So your first "reference" you can split it into two references which would look like this: Swedish playwright^[1][2]. Then when you have said "DramaDirectory (as above)" you can use the same reference so it would appear as another ^[2]. I hope I explained that well! When it comes to writing references, I find it easiest to use this tool: http://toolserver.org/~magnus/makeref.php which then uses a template to format the references consistently.

I can see that you have linked dates, for example: 1972. I used to do this all the time! But it turns out that you don't really need to, as it doesn't add much to the article. But kudos for trying to link lots of articles!

I noticed that you linked A Stuffed Dog which just redirects to the same page, you should probably remove this link as it might confuse people! However this redirect is a good idea, you might want to redirect The Road of Love and the other play titles, so that people can read about Staffan Göthe even if they can't read about The Road of Love or the other plays. Then later, if someone else writes about The Road of Love, they can link the two articles togeater.

I would try and change as many red links to related pages for example: [[European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation|Sweden Fantastic Film Festival]] or removing them (like the Grand Prize of European Fantasy Short Film in Silver link, this link is a very specific title for a non-existent article!).

Keep up the good work, I hope I have made sense and some useful comments. Thank you again for your request for feedback! Best Regards Captain n00dle \^Talk 13:01, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

To add to Chevy's comment, you have to show that an article is notable enough for inclusion.

Hello. It appears to be that your article was deleted and then moved into the mainspace here - CA Sports. I will provide a short review and a few comments on how suitable the article is for Wikipedia. Looking through it, I saw that there are a few tone problems. In places (It was established in 1958 and has since gained a reputation for producing quality cricket equipment.) it sounds like an advertisement, and the official site has been used for a reference. I think you should try and work on improving the tone of the article to try and make it more neutral and suitable for Wikipedia. I think you should also try adding Wikilinks to the article, which are links to other articles. Chevy monte carlo 06:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Hsu Dau-lin

Hello, I am drafting an article on the Chinese scholar of law, history, and semantics, Hsu Dau-lin (Xu Daolin). The link to my page draft is below. This is my first attempt at Wikipedia. I would appreciate some feedback to tell me (1) if I have formatting correct, (2) whether external links should be more directly related (3) whether external links should all be English webpages. (There is little online information about this scholar in English, although he moved to the US and taught in American universities for the last decade of his career.)

For the title, I have used the spelling of his name that was used by western colleagues and that he used when corresponding in German and English. I put the pinyin in parentheses. Is this acceptable? Or is pinyin the preferred Romanization on wikipedia, even to refer to those who died before its use was common?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CHrabbit/Draft_Hsu_Dau-lin

Of course I would appreciate other suggestions as well.

Thank you so much! CHrabbit (talk) 15:43, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

The formatting of the article is fine. It's great that you've added sections and included an infobox, but I think that you should perhaps add a few more web references to accompany the letters and books. The external links are fine and if there is little information in English that is fine, the reader can just use a basic web translation service like Google Translate to translate the page into the language of their choice. I think if you can perhaps you should work on adding more external links to the article, it doesn't matter if they are in a language other than English. Some external links might be better of in the references list. I hope this helps. Chevy monte carlo 17:25, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

I think there are some tone problems with the article. At the moment it sounds like an advertisement. Please try and make it more neutral in tone, either by rewriting it or removing the sentences with tone problems, such as "has been acclaimed", "prolific artist" and "visionary artist". I have also made a few corrections to your links and references. According to the rules at WP:CITE, Facebook cannot be used as a reference. When adding links to other Wikipedia articles, you don't need to include the full URL of the other article, you can add [[ ]] tags around the name of the article to add a link, like this link -> Loughborough. Hope this helps. Chevy monte carlo 05:01, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

It's a nice article, but there's still work to be done to it. There seems to be a problem somewhere with the references - it seems that you've put the references both in the article and in the References section, which is something you don't need to do. If there's already references in the article with <ref></ref> tags around them, they will appear automatically in the references section if you add the {{reflist}} tag. I will try and fix it for you. Another thing I found is that you might want to consider putting the list of works into a table - there's already a template you can use for this at Template:Table.

Thank you, Best regards, Adrian Vintu

Adrianvintu (talk) 10:02, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Some issues I came across with the article:

Opening section - I think you should perhaps work on writing an opening section for the article. You may understand the article's subject, but the reader probably won't. It can be really brief - something like "this article provides a comparison of the different types of DEX software" would be fine and it would accurately summarise the article's purpose and subject.
Sources and references - References need to be included in the article to prove that what is being stated is true. Please try and find references from other sites that are reliable and add them to the article, preferably between two <ref></ref> tags. If you have any more questions about this please ask.

I hope these two points are useful to you and good luck with the article. Chevy monte carlo 08:39, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

That is a good article. The references are particularly well done in my opinion, but I would suggest perhaps adding a infobox to the article to help summarise the key information about the company. I recommend perhaps trying and using Template:Infobox company - scroll down to find the tags that you need to insert into the article to make it appear. Then, instead of writing about the key information in the article, you can have it all summarised in the infobox. Hope this helps. Chevy monte carlo 08:57, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

The article is good - the infobox is great, there's plenty of links, there are a good amount of references, and the pictures help a lot.

Little Thetford 2

Little Thetford has recently been through peer review. There have been some changes since, mainly to the lead and Economy sections, but some minor changes to other sections too, including the addition of one image. There is an active To-do-list which documents further work that may be added at a later stage. In the meantime, would someone have a look to see if it is suitable for GAN? Thank you in advance --Senra (talk) 16:15, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Generally speaking, the requests that come to this page are from newer editors, so the focus is on basic issues of notability and how to do basic referencing. Obviously, if someone feels comfortable with the GA criteria, they can jump in, but it is my experience that GA assessment tends to be done by editors active in various Wikiprojects, as the specific application of the general criteria often are tailored to each project. Not to mention that people who have experience with such reviews (I don't ) are in a better position to help. If you don't know which Wikiproject applies, let me know and I'll poke around.--SPhilbrick T 17:47, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

According to Talk:Little Thetford the article falls within the scope of WikiProject UK geography. I had a look there two weeks ago and entered my name in the participants list. I went there again after your post. I was unable to see anywhere I could post a pre-GAN request for feedback. I am reluctant to pester the hard-working peer-reviewer (Rod ^talk) now that the peer review is archived. As a matter of interest, what is a newer editor? Whilst I concede that I have added 52 kilo-bytes since I started this exercise 17 days ago, I would still consider myself newer than a new one in a new thing! (Mis-quoting from Blackadder is a sin, I know. Sorry) --Senra (talk) 23:00, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, the Wikiproject members or the peer reviewer would probably be the best people to ask. Also, I believe that technically, a new user is one who is not autoconfirmed. I think most people attribute it to how experienced you generally are with Wikipedia. Though I've done quite a bit so far in my opinion (1,900 edits and a rollbacker most recently), I've only been here around a month, so I'd consider myself to be relatively "new". |:-)~ QwerpQwertus ·_Contact Me_·Get Adopted! 00:38, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I think you're new if you consider yourself new and are still learning the ropes/guidelines; When I first started major work on an article I was weeks (months?) into editing and didn't know a thing about notability!

As for your article, if its been through a peer review without any significant issues its generally good to go for WP:GAN, the GA reviewer will typically guide you through any minor remaining problems. I can see several sentences (particularly at the end of paragraphs) without citations, though, which is reason for a fail. There's a lot of hidden notes, are any of them meant to be eventually cited and added? If so, do so- if not, remove them and move discussion to the talk page where editors can more easily collaborate.

So, prose and content looks good, but citations are needed for every sentence. If several sentences are backed up by a single reference, the citation can come at the end of the clump---but if one of those sentences is at the end of a paragraph, there needs to be a cite there. If you have questions, don't hesitate to leave me a note on my talk page. liquidluck✽talk 06:30, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Acknowledged. Thank you both for your response. Yes. I consider myself new. I will work on the citations. --Senra (talk) 08:38, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
