Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James Anderton (RAF officer), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pilot ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Pol, I am new to wikipedia and everything seems a bit confusing to me. I have searched for your answer to the below question and I can't seem to find it, please excuse the repetition. This is my original inquiry:
Hello, the article I had created (Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Eduardo Sarmiento) was deleted due to copyright infringement which I do not see the reason for. All content was verified for copyright and the sources listed. I intend to go with the article and did not save a copy of it, it is not deleted, is there a way I can access it as a draft as to no have to rebuild it from scratch? Would you be so kind as to point out the copyright infringement which led to deletion? Thank you. Ketty Mora (talk) 03:39, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Dear Pol430, I am grateful for your review of the article " George Heron Milne " and I apologize for being slow to improve it. Today, I write for guidance. Any type of reply, however brief, may help. I shall also continue to study the FAQ-type hints here in wikipedia.
I don't know which approach is best to take it above "stub" level. I offer some background -- followed by my questions.
In regard to George Heron Milne: I can add many details of his life which are news feature-type information... and a good photo or two. I can probably add a few worthwhile _outgoing links to other wikipedia articles.
What will be difficult is finding a way to link _in from anywhere.
George Heron Milne was one of thousands of persons who served the federal government in this period and surely there are a few thousand with stronger newsworthiness in their jobs. So based upon his career alone, he might not be very newsworthy to today's readers. I felt it might be intriguing that he and his brother often visited the White House as children and interacted with Theodore Roosevelt's children. However, I have no further information about this beyond that citation from the Congressional Record.
George Heron Milne's father Alexander had provided decorating services to the White House in at least four White House administrations from Garfield to Taft, according to his obituary in the Washington Evening Star.
George Heron Milne's brother, Henry Utley Milne, provided a large batch of interesting papers and photos to a museum in Washington D.C. We have a newspaper article about his collection. His sister graduated from law school in the 20s, and another brother was an FBI agent in the early FBI.
Any type of reply, however brief, may help. My questions are only provided for convenience. They're asked in the form of multiple choice.
This is my first article for wikipedia. As I said, I don't know which approach is best, to take it above "stub" level:
1) To create a body of articles related to George Heron Milne (such as one about his father and whatever proceeds from that) ...until I get one that can bring incoming links from existing articles,
2) To increase the biography of George Heron Milne with feature/newsworthy anecdotes (and a good photo or two) -or-
3) To take a longer view, doing research in hopes of finding stronger historical facts about the surrounding topics and try to build an article that would justify incoming links to it from the other works already on wikipedia?

Dear Pol430
I write in relation to your message regarding the article for John David Chapman. I feel the article has clearly met all of the community's standards requirements; John David Chapman is clearly someone of public interest; Chapman appeared on prime time Sky television for 114 weeks, and was a key witness in the UK Goverments Leveson inquiry; The Leveson Inquiry was a judicial public inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the British press following the News International phone hacking scandal, chaired by Lord Justice Leveson; the Inquiry was at the forefront of UK news in 2011 and 2012.
It is clear that John David Chapman is a public figure, and as such, is worthy of a Wikipedia article.
Please can you be more specific about why you do not feel John David Chapman is not worthy of a Wikipedia article; it would seem that all of the community's standards requirements have been met; please can you refer me to what part of the community's standards requirements have not been fulfilled?

Hi,
I'm trying to get my post Sakyadhita International Association for Buddhist Women cleared so that the notices at the top of the page are removed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakyadhita_International_Association_of_Buddhist_Women
I see that a number of other pages do not included inline citations ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_Women%27s_Association) and even have fewer references than we do. However, I have included 2 citations in an edited version. Do I need to cite each conference in order to prove that it actually took place?
I deleted publications that were written by one of the founders of the organization (This article may contain improper references to self-published sources. Please help improve it by removing references to unreliable sources, where they are used inappropriately. (December 2012) ) AND I have included 2 more References at the bottom.
Finally, there is an entry in Wikipedia/Deutsch for Sakyadhita. It contains fewer references and no in-line sources. Are your standards so different world-wide.
I hope this will satisfy you (or whatever editor) has the say-so. I find Wikipedia standards to be rather capricious, but am willing to work with you and will encourage others in the Sakyadhita organization to do so.

Hi Pol. I submitted an article to AfC a couple weeks ago at: Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/QualPro2
I was a little confused because it keeps saying there are 1,800 submissions before mine, even as weeks go by. Did I not submit it correctly?

Hi, First of all, thank you very much for providing a 3rd opinion on the photo for Paris :) You picked up on a number of points, including one I had not considered myself, being that if the file is copyrighted, rather than claiming and counter-claiming on en.wiki, it would be better to discuss it over at commons. However, could I ask you to reconsider the balance of opinion, as none of the 3 editors who opined for the "current" (well, the single image) one have edited for quite a long time, especially Minato ku, who has not edited since 2011 and not edited again since the comment. You don't have to, and if you think this counts as badgering, please say so, I don't want to get into that but just thought you may not have considered this. But thanks anyway for taking the time to read the dispute and the rest :) -- Gilderien Chat| List of good deeds 11:51, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Pol430, I noticed that you redirected my page Blu-ray player software, which can not be shown. I am sorry that I have reverted and undid this edit. I had left a message, somehow, I did not see it later, did not know why. This item is quite an independent one, not just the software standard, so I do not think that it should be merged with software standard. I hope that when people google this, they can easily find this item and get what they want to know, not the too much information and long, complicated article in Blu-ray Disc.
Hope you can understand and help me enrich this item.

Re User talk:TheWikipreditor#May 2013: I don't recall if I told TheWikipreditor this but I frequently find myself asking AFC contributors to add quotations to hard-copy or behind-paywall references to make it easy to verify that the citation backs up their submission's text. Sometimes I forget to tell them to keep it brief. I'm letting you know this in case TheWikipreditor claims he is getting conflicting advice. I'll make a point to insist on "the bare minimum to prove the citation is valid" when it comes to using quotes in references. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs)/( e-mail) 22:54, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind offer to review submissions of mine. I have several articles started in my userspace which are ready for submission, and I just added Category:Submissions by Doncram ready for review to them. That may show as a redlink but there should be 4 items in it. Thanks in advance for any consideration! If you have comments or questions, we can use the Talk page that is, or could be, associated with each separate article. E.g. discuss any issues with User:Doncram/Golden Hotel (O'Neill, Nebraska) at User talk:Doncram/Golden Hotel (O'Neill, Nebraska). P.S.

Hi Pol430
I'm trying to make my page meet the criteria to be submitted but still seem to be falling short, so your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I'm working on the page 'The Whisky Club' from The Times and The Sunday Times. Initially it was rejected because it read like an advertisement so I made various changes, making the text objective and getting rid of any positive adjectives. I also added a variety of independent sources from people who had written about The Whisky Club. However, the submission has still been declined. I'm not too sure what more there is to be done. Do I need more references?

Hi Pol430. A while back you reviewed this article, which I submitted to AfC with a COI. A week ago an Advert tag was added by DGG. When I pinged him, he offered the following feedback, which I incorporated:
I've pinged him a couple times to see if anything else was needed to remove the advert tag, but haven't gotten a response. His Talk page fills up fast and he's probably just busy. I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking a look and letting me know if we can take down the advert tag or if other edits are needed. CorporateM ( Talk) 15:30, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

I write in relation to your message regarding the article for John David Chapman. I feel the article has clearly met all of the community's standards requirements; John David Chapman is clearly someone of public interest; Chapman appeared on prime time Sky television for 114 weeks, and was a key witness in the UK Goverments Leveson inquiry; The Leveson Inquiry was a judicial public inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the British press following the News International phone hacking scandal, chaired by Lord Justice Leveson; the Inquiry was at the forefront of UK news in 2011 and 2012.
It is clear that John David Chapman is a public figure, and as such, is worthy of a Wikipedia article.
Please can you be more specific about why you do not feel John David Chapman is not worthy of a Wikipedia article; it would seem that all of the community's standards requirements have been met; please can you refer me to what part of the community's standards requirements have not been fulfilled?

Hi,
I'm trying to get my post Sakyadhita International Association for Buddhist Women cleared so that the notices at the top of the page are removed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakyadhita_International_Association_of_Buddhist_Women
I see that a number of other pages do not included inline citations ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_Women%27s_Association) and even have fewer references than we do. However, I have included 2 citations in an edited version. Do I need to cite each conference in order to prove that it actually took place?
I deleted publications that were written by one of the founders of the organization (This article may contain improper references to self-published sources. Please help improve it by removing references to unreliable sources, where they are used inappropriately. (December 2012) ) AND I have included 2 more References at the bottom.
Finally, there is an entry in Wikipedia/Deutsch for Sakyadhita. It contains fewer references and no in-line sources. Are your standards so different world-wide.
I hope this will satisfy you (or whatever editor) has the say-so. I find Wikipedia standards to be rather capricious, but am willing to work with you and will encourage others in the Sakyadhita organization to do so.
thanks, Laurie — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lauriebak ( talk • contribs) 18:54, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited RAF Rudloe Manor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Central Ammunition Depot ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Pol. I submitted an article to AfC a couple weeks ago at: Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/QualPro2
I was a little confused because it keeps saying there are 1,800 submissions before mine, even as weeks go by. Did I not submit it correctly? It doesn't seem to be moving up the line, but maybe I misunderstood something. I know the AfC queue is really backed up. CorporateM ( Talk) 19:53, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, First of all, thank you very much for providing a 3rd opinion on the photo for Paris :) You picked up on a number of points, including one I had not considered myself, being that if the file is copyrighted, rather than claiming and counter-claiming on en.wiki, it would be better to discuss it over at commons. However, could I ask you to reconsider the balance of opinion, as none of the 3 editors who opined for the "current" (well, the single image) one have edited for quite a long time, especially Minato ku, who has not edited since 2011 and not edited again since the comment. You don't have to, and if you think this counts as badgering, please say so, I don't want to get into that but just thought you may not have considered this. But thanks anyway for taking the time to read the dispute and the rest :) -- Gilderien Chat| List of good deeds 11:51, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm not online at home anymore that's why you don't hear from me regularly. I just tried to add my name to a list and I couldn't do it. It makes me wonder if I've learned anything at all.

Hi Pol430, I noticed that you redirected my page Blu-ray player software, which can not be shown. I am sorry that I have reverted and undid this edit. I had left a message, somehow, I did not see it later, did not know why. This item is quite an independent one, not just the software standard, so I do not think that it should be merged with software standard. I hope that when people google this, they can easily find this item and get what they want to know, not the too much information and long, complicated article in Blu-ray Disc.
Hope you can understand and help me enrich this item.

Re User talk:TheWikipreditor#May 2013: I don't recall if I told TheWikipreditor this but I frequently find myself asking AFC contributors to add quotations to hard-copy or behind-paywall references to make it easy to verify that the citation backs up their submission's text. Sometimes I forget to tell them to keep it brief. I'm letting you know this in case TheWikipreditor claims he is getting conflicting advice. I'll make a point to insist on "the bare minimum to prove the citation is valid" when it comes to using quotes in references. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs)/( e-mail) 22:54, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Pol430. I've seen you around doing great work at AFC and making insightful comments at ANI, and it made me wonder why you weren't an admin already. So I thought I'd ask you. Would you be interested in going for RfA? I would be happy to write you a nomination statement, and I think you would be very likely to pass.

Thank you for your kind offer to review submissions of mine. I have several articles started in my userspace which are ready for submission, and I just added Category:Submissions by Doncram ready for review to them. That may show as a redlink but there should be 4 items in it. Thanks in advance for any consideration! If you have comments or questions, we can use the Talk page that is, or could be, associated with each separate article. E.g. discuss any issues with User:Doncram/Golden Hotel (O'Neill, Nebraska) at User talk:Doncram/Golden Hotel (O'Neill, Nebraska). P.S. I was setting up a kind of system at my Talk page, specifically at User talk:Doncram#NE help and in the following section, but I think you're right that the category would be easy to manage.

Hi Pol430
I'm trying to make my page meet the criteria to be submitted but still seem to be falling short, so your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I'm working on the page 'The Whisky Club' from The Times and The Sunday Times. Initially it was rejected because it read like an advertisement so I made various changes, making the text objective and getting rid of any positive adjectives. I also added a variety of independent sources from people who had written about The Whisky Club. However, the submission has still been declined. I'm not too sure what more there is to be done. Do I need more references?
Many thanks

Hi Pol430. A while back you reviewed this article, which I submitted to AfC with a COI. A week ago an Advert tag was added by DGG. When I pinged him, he offered the following feedback, which I incorporated:
I've pinged him a couple times to see if anything else was needed to remove the advert tag, but haven't gotten a response. His Talk page fills up fast and he's probably just busy. I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking a look and letting me know if we can take down the advert tag or if other edits are needed. CorporateM ( Talk) 15:30, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
