Hi Chetsford, I’m wondering what I can do to get Dino Bardot’s page approved. I noticed that you rejected the article on the grounds that it is not a notable biography. He’s the only member of Franz Ferdinand who doesn’t have a page. I’m wondering what makes the other members notable, but not him. Thanks, Bxnzedrine ( talk) 01:52, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi Chetsford, I put citations for the fact that Dino was a member of 1990s, and sources for the fact that at least 2 of 1990s albums were made under Rough Trade Records. Thanks, Bxnzedrine ( talk) 07:19, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Chetsford,
thanks for your review and feedback on my article about Draft:Solarwatt. My first intention was to translate the article, using the sources on the German page. But I fully understand the need for English language, secondary sources. I edited the draft and added these sources. Could you be so kind to have a look on the draft before I resubmit it for review.
Also I encountered that some very reliable sourced can not be used because they are listed on the Wikipedia spam blacklist. In particular I'm talking about pv-magazine.com and photovoltaik.eu. Both are the online versions of well established German PV print magazines which have been around for 15+ years and are the number one source of information in Germany. These are real magazines with editorial teams and high journalistic standards. It dont think its helping Wikipedia to block such sources. I had to fall back to German language references, because the English language articles on the two named websites were not accepted. Is there anything I can do about that too?
Thirdly: How can I rate the relevance of other European solar companies for the English Wikipedia? I would like to add more articles, as these companies are active in Ireland, the UK, Australia, the US and Canada, but I'm getting mixed impressions on whether such information is wanted here or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PirateGeorge ( talk • contribs) 19:44, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

On 17 August 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Washington, My Home, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that John F. Kennedy suggested the State of Washington replace its motto " Alki" with "For You and Me, a Destiny", a lyric from " Washington, My Home"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Washington, My Home. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Washington, My Home), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi - thanks for reviewing the article. Wikipedia is still quite confusing with a lot of jargon, so I just want to clarify what you're declining the article for.
Is it that the references (also very confusing) are not numerous enough, or not to external sources? There are hundreds of interviews and articles available to reference, and links to movies and music available on netflix, amazon, itunes etc. So what constitutes a good reference?
Thanks,
D

Hi Chetsford, Thanks for your review and feedback on my article about Draft:Joseph Zinker. I made the modifications and I'm now waiting for your opinion. I hope it's ok. If it's not, I'll try my best to make other modifications :) Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by DelphineM. ( talk • contribs) 12:53, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
G'day Chetsford, I see from the Milhist ACR that there has been quite a bit of to-ing and fro-ing about citations including page numbers. I know we don't mandate any particular system and that as long as your citations can be verified, whatever system you use is fine. But you might want to consider using harv sfn citations in future, as IMHO they are easier to do, the markup is simple and people can see straight away from the Footnotes whether you've cited a page or pages. They also eliminate the need to define a footnote, and also eliminate duplicates. When I started editing I used <ref></ref>, but soon changed when I realised how simple sfn was. Anyway, just a suggestion. Take from it what you will. Regards, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 08:31, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
