Hello, Pol: I see a move of my List of people from Palm Springs, California to the AfC page. Reason being a move to the "preferred" page. To let you know, I simply used the article creation wizard to set up the proposed article. When done, I hit the "submit" link. The review pending template was then created. All of this is fine with me, including your move. But I am wondering -- is the article creation wizard putting proposed articles in the wrong location? If so, can it be fixed so that the submissions go directly to the "preferred" page? Fixing this might save you and other reviewers some work. Thanks. -- S. Rich ( talk) 21:20, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Good Day Pol430: How do I redirect "Chester J. Cavallito" to "Chester James Cavallito" so the latter is no longer an orphan page? So far, in attempts to link the former citations to the latter page, the former remain in red. Also. how do I bypass the "post a request" to directly create an article myself? The Wikipedia instructions are not clear on this. Thanks Dolly442 ( talk) 02:42, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Good Evening Pol430.
I hope the cold and rain in the U.K. didn't make the day too dreary.
I'm writing to you in response to your review of an article I submitted about a U.S. musician/rapper "Willard Hill". I fully appreciate your feedback and have addressed the concerns to the best of my ability and understanding. This message is my way of saying thank you, and to also ask for any tips you would care to impart to help me write more effectively in the future.
I do appreciate your time and attention, and look forward to your correspondence.
Thank You and goodnight!

Hey guys!
Thanks to all of you who have commented on the New Page Triage talkpage. If you haven't had a chance yet, check it out; we're discussing some pretty interesting ideas, both from the Foundation and the community, and moving towards implementing quite a few of them :).
In addition, on Tuesday 13th March, we're holding an office hours session in #wikimedia-office on IRC at 19:00 UTC (11am Pacific time). If you can make it, please do; we'll have a lot of stuff to show you and talk about, including (hopefully) a timetable of when we're planning to do what. If you can't come, for whatever reason, let me know on my talkpage and I'm happy to send you the logs so you can get an idea of what happened :).

Hi, you recently declined a new article submission for Devil's Garden (Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument) for the reason that it already exists, when it does not. Please read the disambiguation page and notice that the pointers in the related Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument article (in photo captions) point to the incorrect park - Arches N.P. - which also has a place called Devil's Garden. It is the reason I wrote the new article, and planned to fix the photo caption links once the new article was in place. Please re-check the article. Thanks, Brian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brian W. Schaller ( talk • contribs) 22:38, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Sarvi Kalhor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Britain ( 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.

Hey all!
Thanks to everyone who attended our first office hours session; the logs can be found here, if you missed it, and we should be holding a second one on Thursday, 22 March 2012 at 18:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. I hope to see you all there :).
In the meantime, I have greatly expanded the details available at Wikipedia:New Page Triage: there's a lot more info about precisely what we're planning. If you have ideas, and they aren't listed there, bring them up and I'll pass them on to the developers for consideration in the second sprint. And if you know anyone who might be interested in contributing, send them there too!

I am sorry to inform you that I have closed your RFA as unsuccessful. This was primarily based on the good faith comments relating to the level content contribution and judgment in situations such as vandalism reversion and CSD tagging. It was not based on comments related to edit rate. I would like to note that many of the opposes were positive about your overall contribution to the project and expressed faith that with more time and experience, you will be a more suitable candidate that they would support. Best of luck. MBisanz talk 19:01, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Earlier you rejected my article (V. Lorenz AG) because it "included copywritten" material. I will point out that the said material was from a book that I wrote and hold the copyright. This asside, I rewrote the offending section and made several other minor changes and resubmitted the article. Now you have rejected it a second time, saying that I made NO CHANGES in the resubmittal. If you cannt discern the changes, you should not be a "filtering" editor. Raymond C. Watson, Jr. ( talk) 00:18, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Hey guys.
I appreciate this isn't quite what you signed up for, but I figured as people who are already pretty good at evaluating whether material is useful or not useful through Special:NewPages, you might be interested :). Over the last few months we've been developing the new Article Feedback Tool, which features a free text box. it is imperative that we work out in advance what proportion of feedback is useful or not so we can adjust the design accordingly and not overwhelm you with nonsense.
This is being done through the Feedback Evaluation System (FES), a tool that lets editors run through a stream of comments, selecting their value and viability, so we know what type of design should be promoted or avoided. We're about to start a new round of evaluations, beginning with an office hours session tomorrow at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to help preemptively kill poor feedback, come along to #wikimedia-office and we'll show you how to use the tool. If you can't make it, send me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org or drop a note on my talkpage, and I'm happy to give you a quick walkthrough in a one-on-one session :).

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BikerOrNot.com until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Dennis Bratland ( talk) 04:20, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Pol430, Thanks for taking the time to respond to my query yesterday. I did read the FAQ and hopefully have addressed any outstanding issues. My submission did contain a Kirkus review of Margolies's work (link and citation) that was a 'rave.' I'm wondering if that was possibly overlooked If helpful, I could cite and include discussion of his work in newspapers and magazines (Wash Post, New Yorker, etc). But I am not sure if doing that in scope of a very brief article would be compelling to readers, and think it might come off as very stilted. Thanks again for your time. I know you are volunteering and editing Wikipedia is not glamorous or easy to do. Best regards, cob brooklyn Thecobbrooklyn ( talk) 20:09, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Pol430, Thanks again for the very useful advice and all your help. I have added additional information, citing an additional respected source on Margolies' importance, and have also included citations for what, I hope, are considered good quality sources that discuss Margolies' work-- The New Yorker, The Nation, Wash Post, etc). Hope you have a good weekend in the UK--I just saw off my Aunt and Uncle, they live in Banbury, Oxfordshire, who'd been visitng us here in NYC. Best regards, cob brooklyn Thecobbrooklyn ( talk) 23:01, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Pol430 Thank you for the edit. I wanted to know why the following are not credible sources
the Los angeles Business Journal, the national jeweler, the Pittsburgh post gazette.
Heal the bay and Stand up 2 Cancer are both well known and well established non profit organizations in the states. Any help will be useful. Also, How would I remove it from the articles for deletion. Any help is appreciated thank you

Hello - I saw you declined my request to have the page for "Pasadena POPS" redirect to the page for Pasadena Symphony and POPS, stating that it was unlikely and asking for some source. In 2007, two individual orchestras (The Pasadena Symphony and the Pasadena POPS) merged into one organization and combined names. There are still large segments of the Southern California community that refer to them as their original names, and the organization even produces multiple brochures for their Pasadena POPS season and Pasadena Symphony season under those respective names. Here are some links for you:
http://www.scpr.org/programs/airtalk/2011/08/04/20147/hamlisch-pops - an article from the local NPR affiliate discussing the appointment of Marvin Hamlisch to conduct the Pasadena POPS http://www.elliottforrest.com/pasadena-pops.html - A stage enginner who designed some of the productions for the Pasadena POPS http://petersmusicnews.com/2011/07/laughter-charm-and-good-music-mark-hamlischs-pops-debut-with-pasadena-pops/ - a news review of a recent Pasadena POPS concert http://issuu.com/pasadenasymphony/docs/pops.2012.seasonbrochure_final?mode=embed - The Pasadena POPS 2012 brochure, where they refer to themselves almost exclusively as Pasadena POPS
I hope this helps inform you of the ambiguous and common names for the organization, and we hope you reconsider allowing the redirect to occur.

Hey! Big update on what the developers have been working on, and what is coming up:
coding
All other elements are either undergoing research, or about to have development started. I appreciate this sounds like we've not got through much work, and truthfully we're a bit disappointed with it as well; we thought we'd be going at a faster pace :(. Unfortunately there seems to be some 24-72 hour bug sweeping the San Francisco office at the moment, and at one time or another we've had several devs out of it. It's kind of messed with workflow.
Stuff to look at
We've got a pair of new mockups to comment on that deal with the filtering mechanism; this is a slightly updated mockup of the list view, and this is what the filtering tab is going to look like. All thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome on the NPT talkpage :). I'd also like to thank the people who came to our last two office hours sessions; the logs will be shortly available here.
I've also just heard that the first functional prototype for enwiki will be deployed mid-April! Really, really stoked to see this happening :). We're finding out if we can stick something up a bit sooner on prototype.wiki or something.
I appreciate there may be questions or suggestions where I've said "I'll find out and get back to you" and then, uh. not ;p. I sincerely apologise for that: things have been a bit hectic at this end over the last few weeks. But if you've got anything I've missed, drop me a line and I'll deal with it! Further questions or issues to the usual address. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 17:07, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing, editing and creating the article I submitted and asked for help with. I will continue to find more and more information and improve the article and contribute to other articles on Wikipedia.
Thanks again.

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{ GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May. Your drive coordinators – Dianna ( Talk), Stfg ( Talk), and Dank ( talk)To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Hi...thank you for your review. I'm flummoxed. I have submitted this over and over. I either get the references are fine and the style is wrong; or the style is right and the references are wrong. I've used very good sources--New York Times, Village voice, and many others. I hate to sound thick, but I have gone to live help; I've used the wiki MANY different style pages none of which are consistent, btw! and each time I get a different response but all sort of along the lines of you're almost there. HELP?
Pageant is a relevant film. I have supplied reliable relevant sources, materials. I've checked it against several documentaries that came out recently GOD IS THE BIGGER ELVIS, WHICH WAY HOME, a couple of Michael MOORE's and in fact, I have more sources than some and done the same way.

I must say, you weren't remotely deserving of the ridiculously terrible start your RfA got off to. Happy to see the pendulum's swinging the other way now, though. Anyway, just here to say good luck in your RfA. Regards, Swarm X 00:42, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, you recently declined a new article submission for Devil's Garden (Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument) for the reason that it already exists, when it does not. Please read the disambiguation page and notice that the pointers in the related Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument article (in photo captions) point to the incorrect park - Arches N.P. - which also has a place called Devil's Garden. It is the reason I wrote the new article, and planned to fix the photo caption links once the new article was in place. Please re-check the article. Thanks, Brian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brian W. Schaller ( talk • contribs) 22:38, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
That's OK, Pol. It was an easy mistake to make. Thanks for taking time to review new articles. Cheers! Brian W. Schaller ( talk) 02:54, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Sarvi Kalhor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Britain ( 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.

Hey all!
Thanks to everyone who attended our first office hours session; the logs can be found here, if you missed it, and we should be holding a second one on Thursday, 22 March 2012 at 18:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. I hope to see you all there :).
In the meantime, I have greatly expanded the details available at Wikipedia:New Page Triage: there's a lot more info about precisely what we're planning. If you have ideas, and they aren't listed there, bring them up and I'll pass them on to the developers for consideration in the second sprint. And if you know anyone who might be interested in contributing, send them there too!
Regards, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 00:22, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
It doesn't seem to me that you are going to pass this one but, with 60% support already, wait it out a couple of months and try again. Better luck next time.— cyberpower ( Chat)( WP Edits: 521,722,641) 12:24, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Absolutely understandable :) Pol430 talk to me 14:45, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
I am sorry to inform you that I have closed your RFA as unsuccessful. This was primarily based on the good faith comments relating to the level content contribution and judgment in situations such as vandalism reversion and CSD tagging. It was not based on comments related to edit rate. I would like to note that many of the opposes were positive about your overall contribution to the project and expressed faith that with more time and experience, you will be a more suitable candidate that they would support. Best of luck. MBisanz talk 19:01, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi thanks for taking the time to review "IDEAS" for a new article. You declined it under the grounds of notability. I've ready the General Notability rules since then and they all seem to apply to the event.
Can you please give me some guidance?
Thank you for your help.

Earlier you rejected my article (V. Lorenz AG) because it "included copywritten" material. I will point out that the said material was from a book that I wrote and hold the copyright. This asside, I rewrote the offending section and made several other minor changes and resubmitted the article. Now you have rejected it a second time, saying that I made NO CHANGES in the resubmittal. If you cannt discern the changes, you should not be a "filtering" editor. Raymond C. Watson, Jr. ( talk) 00:18, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Hey guys.
I appreciate this isn't quite what you signed up for, but I figured as people who are already pretty good at evaluating whether material is useful or not useful through Special:NewPages, you might be interested :). Over the last few months we've been developing the new Article Feedback Tool, which features a free text box. it is imperative that we work out in advance what proportion of feedback is useful or not so we can adjust the design accordingly and not overwhelm you with nonsense.
This is being done through the Feedback Evaluation System (FES), a tool that lets editors run through a stream of comments, selecting their value and viability, so we know what type of design should be promoted or avoided. We're about to start a new round of evaluations, beginning with an office hours session tomorrow at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to help preemptively kill poor feedback, come along to #wikimedia-office and we'll show you how to use the tool. If you can't make it, send me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org or drop a note on my talkpage, and I'm happy to give you a quick walkthrough in a one-on-one session :).
All the best, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 21:34, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Pol430, Thanks for taking the time to respond to my query yesterday. I did read the FAQ and hopefully have addressed any outstanding issues. My submission did contain a Kirkus review of Margolies's work (link and citation) that was a 'rave.' I'm wondering if that was possibly overlooked If helpful, I could cite and include discussion of his work in newspapers and magazines (Wash Post, New Yorker, etc). But I am not sure if doing that in scope of a very brief article would be compelling to readers, and think it might come off as very stilted. Thanks again for your time. I know you are volunteering and editing Wikipedia is not glamorous or easy to do. Best regards, cob brooklyn Thecobbrooklyn ( talk) 20:09, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Pol430, Thanks again for the very useful advice and all your help. I have added additional information, citing an additional respected source on Margolies' importance, and have also included citations for what, I hope, are considered good quality sources that discuss Margolies' work-- The New Yorker, The Nation, Wash Post, etc). Hope you have a good weekend in the UK--I just saw off my Aunt and Uncle, they live in Banbury, Oxfordshire, who'd been visitng us here in NYC. Best regards, cob brooklyn Thecobbrooklyn ( talk) 23:01, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Pol430 Thank you for the edit. I wanted to know why the following are not credible sources
the Los angeles Business Journal, the national jeweler, the Pittsburgh post gazette.
Heal the bay and Stand up 2 Cancer are both well known and well established non profit organizations in the states. Any help will be useful. Also, How would I remove it from the articles for deletion. Any help is appreciated thank you

Hello - I saw you declined my request to have the page for "Pasadena POPS" redirect to the page for Pasadena Symphony and POPS, stating that it was unlikely and asking for some source. In 2007, two individual orchestras (The Pasadena Symphony and the Pasadena POPS) merged into one organization and combined names. There are still large segments of the Southern California community that refer to them as their original names, and the organization even produces multiple brochures for their Pasadena POPS season and Pasadena Symphony season under those respective names. Here are some links for you:
http://www.scpr.org/programs/airtalk/2011/08/04/20147/hamlisch-pops - an article from the local NPR affiliate discussing the appointment of Marvin Hamlisch to conduct the Pasadena POPS http://www.elliottforrest.com/pasadena-pops.html - A stage enginner who designed some of the productions for the Pasadena POPS http://petersmusicnews.com/2011/07/laughter-charm-and-good-music-mark-hamlischs-pops-debut-with-pasadena-pops/ - a news review of a recent Pasadena POPS concert http://issuu.com/pasadenasymphony/docs/pops.2012.seasonbrochure_final?mode=embed - The Pasadena POPS 2012 brochure, where they refer to themselves almost exclusively as Pasadena POPS
I hope this helps inform you of the ambiguous and common names for the organization, and we hope you reconsider allowing the redirect to occur.

Hey! Big update on what the developers have been working on, and what is coming up:
coding
All other elements are either undergoing research, or about to have development started. I appreciate this sounds like we've not got through much work, and truthfully we're a bit disappointed with it as well; we thought we'd be going at a faster pace :(. Unfortunately there seems to be some 24-72 hour bug sweeping the San Francisco office at the moment, and at one time or another we've had several devs out of it. It's kind of messed with workflow.
Stuff to look at
We've got a pair of new mockups to comment on that deal with the filtering mechanism; this is a slightly updated mockup of the list view, and this is what the filtering tab is going to look like. All thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome on the NPT talkpage :). I'd also like to thank the people who came to our last two office hours sessions; the logs will be shortly available here.
I've also just heard that the first functional prototype for enwiki will be deployed mid-April! Really, really stoked to see this happening :). We're finding out if we can stick something up a bit sooner on prototype.wiki or something.
I appreciate there may be questions or suggestions where I've said "I'll find out and get back to you" and then, uh. not ;p. I sincerely apologise for that: things have been a bit hectic at this end over the last few weeks. But if you've got anything I've missed, drop me a line and I'll deal with it! Further questions or issues to the usual address. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 17:07, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing, editing and creating the article I submitted and asked for help with. I will continue to find more and more information and improve the article and contribute to other articles on Wikipedia.
Thanks again.

Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{ GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May. Your drive coordinators – Dianna ( Talk), Stfg ( Talk), and Dank ( talk)To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Hi...thank you for your review. I'm flummoxed. I have submitted this over and over. I either get the references are fine and the style is wrong; or the style is right and the references are wrong. I've used very good sources--New York Times, Village voice, and many others. I hate to sound thick, but I have gone to live help; I've used the wiki MANY different style pages none of which are consistent, btw! and each time I get a different response but all sort of along the lines of you're almost there. HELP?
Pageant is a relevant film. I have supplied reliable relevant sources, materials. I've checked it against several documentaries that came out recently GOD IS THE BIGGER ELVIS, WHICH WAY HOME, a couple of Michael MOORE's and in fact, I have more sources than some and done the same way. Please help me because I followed the format in the wiki pages to make the footnotes and I don't understand where the problem is? Thank you
