A new ratings system could be based on the B-class criteria, as they seem sensible. Also looking at the Good article criteria, the rules of thumb to follow appear to be:
If each of these were scored as 0, 1/2 or 1, then a 5-star article would be the equivalent of a decent B-class article now, and should probably be considered for a Good article. Thoughts? Fences& Windows 01:26, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree that 'no harm' isn't a good reason for protecting things, but I wasn't suggesting it was, only that it was a reason for not needing to remove protection once it had been put there for some other reason. However, in this case I don't see that removing it is likely to do any harm either, and, as I have already said, I have done so. Thanks for explaining your reason.

Dear Chzz,
I'm Username Jahanzeb1978. Just want to inform you few things about the article wajd (band) that you deleted.
1. I don't think that the article is worth deleting as the artist (wajd) is siginificant.Had it not be significant, why would the record label www.firerecords.com.pk would place them on the front page promoting the bands new album? (Please check)
2. The Band is among the 80 artists which have been released by fire records, the only surviving record label of pakistan, to date
http://www.firerecords.com.pk/fir_family.asp
3. If you are referring to search , you may find difficult because band's name and album names are in urdu language.
4. WAJD is the pioneer band to introduce Grunge music in Pakistan. I was gathering some sources on that. But till now just write "Pakistan Grunge Band" and you will see WAJD all over. Rest i will share with in few hours
5. we have many inerviews on TV and newspaper. Since there was a shifting that took place , lot of things are missing. we are trying to figure out things again from web, and would publish soon.
6. Some more links on band's notability and contribution to society.

I hope you will wait for further info or accept to move.

Good Morning Chzz, thank you very much for reviewing my IQMS article. As you requested I did delete the reference to the iqms blog. However, I did keep in the few other blog references because they are industry experts and I believe are considered an acceptable and verifiable reference.

I have resubmitted the declined article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jahanzeb1978/Wajd_(The_Band).
Now the sources are more authentic and they are not usual blogs. Some of the references are blogs but they are from Pakistan's biggest news channels (Geo TV) which will only feature notable artist. Second you can see from the reference of Fire Records, which is wajd's record label, that wajd name is included in the most notable artist of the record industry. See the list ,every other artist has got a wikipage, so why cant wajd have? Reference :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Records_(Pakistan)
Are you going to be the reviewer of my page this time as well? or is it random?
If you are reviewer just do me a favor, click the google search in a rviewer tool , you will get tens and hundreds of site mentionig wajd popularity and material for their users.
Thanks and Best Regards,

There are 5 links given each pointing to reliable and credible sources like Business Wire, Economic Times and Business Standard (one of the largest national dailies in the country). I have given the reference for "Candid Marketing" on context. I have read the policies under WP:VRS, WP:PRIMARY.

I agree, it is not a likely redirect. I think there is verifiable information (stuff put out by the television network) which could be reliable sources, such as episode titles and synopses (in fact on further investigation, one of the synopses was a copyvio from just such a source). But a list of episodes page for a show with only one episode is a bit unnecessary. It's a bit unclear the criteria for speedy deletion in this case, but I think putting it through AfD is not necessary. - TeaDrinker ( talk) 19:09, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

The graph says it all, really; massive increase since we cleared the backlog and introduced a bit better system. As I've said before, it is a 'victim of its own success', I think. Currently, it is pretty backlogged.
Quite a few get missed, as you can see if you flick through the archives - but I don't know what we can do about that, really, other than hope more people give feedback.
The long-term solution would be to keep these editors; so many come to just create one article, and are never heard of again; if just a few of those stayed, and started giving feedback, then we'd have a more workable system.
I suggest discussion in this WT:FEED section. Cheers!

Hello--
I was told that I had 24 hours to make revisions to my proposed article. Also, A7 does not appear to be a relevant cause for dismissal in this case, as being the author of five New York Times bestselling series is--by almost any standards--an indication of importance.

The rule of thumb is that non-free content should never be used purely to show what a living person looks like. Your argument that "we cannot find a free picture, so we'll use a non-free one" is invalid is correct, but only up to the point whereby it seems that it is impossible that free content could be found or created, otherwise we would not be able to use any non-free content at all. In theory, it is the responsibility of those who wish to use non-free content to make an effort to have images released if possible; it is certainly the case that they need to make an effort to find some. We should not have the mentality of waiting until someone dies and then uploading a non-free image at the first opportunity; we should still make an effort to get a free image, but, when it seems a free image is not possible, non-free content would be acceptable (provided, of course, all the other criteria were met). For a case where this happened but we subsequently acquired a free image, see Charles Mackerras. Hope this answers your question. J Milburn ( talk) 00:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank-you for your input on my AFC. I have read the links and help guides suggested and have made some of the adjustments you suggested, including adding more verifiable references. I am puzzled about how many references to add - it seemed that you were suggesting I cite each and every fact separately (i.e year of birth). This is not something I see in other similar articles (see Wendell Lovett. I have however placed a reference at the end of each paragraph, in addition to specific quotes and links, and all facts are derived from the listed articles. I would appreciate some guidance here. If any other sources are not considered acceptable, even as one of several, please advise. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Architectsea ( talk • contribs) 05:21, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I understand that all facts need verification and all in the article can be verified by sources/external links cited, but I am puzzled. What level of individual referencing is required for publication? (individually referenced with a footnote ref as opposed to referenced with a footnote ref at the end of that paragraph. If individually, that could mean several references per sentence, or a least one per. I have yet to see any article written with this level of referencing (see wiki articles for I. M. Pei, Frank Gehry, Arthur Erickson, Frank Lloyd Wright, John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter... I am not trying to be difficult and perhaps I am missing your intention.

I don't know if this is the right place to write this, sorry if it is not.
Both submissions were declined with the following comment: This suggestion doesn't sufficiently explain the importance or significance of the subject. See the speedy deletion criteria A7 and/or guidelines on music-related topics. Please provide more information on why this musical artist or musical recording is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Thank you.
So I read the guidelines on music-related topics and there, in the "Albums, singles and songs" section I can read: In general, if the musician or ensemble is notable, then their officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia. Both albums were officially released and Ornette Coleman is a notable musician as anyone can see in Ornette Coleman. So, following these criteria, I think that the significance of the album is demonstrated. If I didn't realized something let me know it please, so I can make the right changes in the articles.

First let me say thank you for your patience with me and my article on IQMS that you recently declined. I have removed any adjectives that might tend to make the article look like and advertisement. My biggest question is that there appears to be a lack of verifiable sources, and most of the sources are "produced by the creator of the item being discussed." I have made sure that none of the sources have been produced/created by IQMS. So I am in a quandry as to why this keeps coming up. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Again, I remind you to consider the business FAQ, which explains why it is so difficult to write a neutral article if you have a conflict of interest. The policy strongly recommends against it. If you do decide to try and write one, I personally suggest you try working on other, existing articles first; please have a look at User:Keegan/Butterfly. Best, Chzz ► 19:46, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar, I really appreciate it. On the subject of FEED, I'm still thinking about your observation—as many as come in each day, if 20 people did one a day, it would be enough (I didn't look it up, but I think I'm close). I know you do several a day, but I think one a day is a hard pace to keep up. If we had 40 people on a FEED patrol, that would mean one every other day. I'm trying to find a clever way to make this a small challenge. Th main part of the goal is to sign up for n feedback comments per week or month or whatever time frame is right, then find a way to keep track of them. I was thinking in terms of a week, but let me try something out with a month. Set a low hurdle of five per month, a medium hurdle of 10 per month and a higher hurdle of 15 per month. Maybe a low hurdle participant qualifies at the bronze level, the medium at the silver and the top at the gold (for someone like you we can go platinum, for one a day)
One of the keys (and this is where you come in) is finding an automatic way to keep track. Suppose someone signs up to be a bronze level contributor to FEED. Every time they respond to someone, the edit is captured and their count is increment. Keep track of their average over the last 90 days, and if they average .17 per day, they are considered as qualifying for the bronze level. Similarly, someone could sign up for the gold level, and it keeps track whether you maintain a .50 per day average.
Maybe you don't sign up for a level it just keeps track of what level you achieve. This is roughly akin to the Service Badge concept, except instead of being a one-time award for aggregate edits, it is a continuous concept that you can maintain or lose.
Do you have any thought on the technical aspects of it? Is there a way to capture edits in the FEED area by editor?
I bet you will think these hurdles are low, but I'd really like to have a couple hundred people who are checking in once of twice a week and commenting on a couple, in addition to the ones who are more diligent. -- SPhilbrick T 12:51, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I haven't yet given up on the idea, but given your lack of interest in 'badges of merit' I'll get input from other on the merit of the idea, but trust that you'll still be happy to provide input on the technical aspects.
I had thought of some of your concerns (but not all). Regarding the concern about asking questions, I don't see this as a problem for two reasons: first, If the count is over a 30 day period or so, I'm guessing the lowest hurdle would be five posts in a month, and it is unlikely that a person asking for feedback will post five items. Still, it could happen, so my second response is better. I imagine that people would sign up (possibly after a request form us based upon observing participants, so it is unlikely that someone who asked questions would be signing up.
I haven't seen enough activity by bots to worry about, but again, if only those signed up are measured, no problem. Alt accounts do make it a little tougher, but so far, I only see Chevymontecarlo with an alt account, and it looks like xhe will meet the top hurdle easily. Maybe we could start semi-automatic anyway - do an SQL query on occasion and update a list.
On a different, but related comment, you once mentioned having a way to send a email to a number of people. I'm thinking of writing something up, and sending a note to all the editors who contributed in September, to get a sense. It isn't perfect, as the top contributors by definition are not motivated by badges of merit, and those who might be are under-represented, but it might help me gauge the level of interest. Can you tell me how I could take the list in your query and send a note to all accounts, suggesting that they check out my not yet created user subpage?
I'm hastening to extend my intense thanks for your tender attention, my tenacity has tended to be somewhat attenuated of late, despite my intentions, and owing to extenuating circumstances: I'd attend more often, but the tenor of WP tends to make me a little too tense, hence my penitent abstention.

I ,m writing to thank you so much for your help editing my first article and I,m now much better than the day I posted my first article. I,m now ready to write about notable Iranians who made some work internationally. Science, finance, sports or ...any other fields I know about.. Anyway, I have added some new sources, links and external links..would you please make me a favor and look at at..your opinion is so important to me.. would u please wikify it a little more as you are the wiki-God to me. I read some notices that says the article might be removed or I,m misreading it? as I,m not that good in English. the only thing I can tell you is that S.A Ghafari is someone notable in his field in Iran and internationally and I couldn,t find more reliable sources as I,ve done already. I really appreciate your help Chezz and looking forward to have your comments on this. One more thing, is there any girl groups in wiki as I,m a girl and would suite much better with them if there is any. Thanks again and looking forward to have your valuable advices.

A new ratings system could be based on the B-class criteria, as they seem sensible. Also looking at the Good article criteria, the rules of thumb to follow appear to be:
If each of these were scored as 0, 1/2 or 1, then a 5-star article would be the equivalent of a decent B-class article now, and should probably be considered for a Good article. Thoughts? Fences& Windows 01:26, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree that 'no harm' isn't a good reason for protecting things, but I wasn't suggesting it was, only that it was a reason for not needing to remove protection once it had been put there for some other reason.

Dear Chzz,
I'm Username Jahanzeb1978. Just want to inform you few things about the article wajd (band) that you deleted.
1. I don't think that the article is worth deleting as the artist (wajd) is siginificant.Had it not be significant, why would the record label www.firerecords.com.pk would place them on the front page promoting the bands new album? (Please check)
2. The Band is among the 80 artists which have been released by fire records, the only surviving record label of pakistan, to date
http://www.firerecords.com.pk/fir_family.asp
3. If you are referring to search , you may find difficult because band's name and album names are in urdu language.
4. WAJD is the pioneer band to introduce Grunge music in Pakistan. I was gathering some sources on that. But till now just write "Pakistan Grunge Band" and you will see WAJD all over. Rest i will share with in few hours
5. we have many inerviews on TV and newspaper. Since there was a shifting that took place , lot of things are missing. we are trying to figure out things again from web, and would publish soon.
6. Some more links on band's notability and contribution to society.

I have resubmitted the declined article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jahanzeb1978/Wajd_(The_Band).
Now the sources are more authentic and they are not usual blogs. Some of the references are blogs but they are from Pakistan's biggest news channels (Geo TV) which will only feature notable artist. Second you can see from the reference of Fire Records, which is wajd's record label, that wajd name is included in the most notable artist of the record industry. See the list ,every other artist has got a wikipage, so why cant wajd have? Reference :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Records_(Pakistan)
Are you going to be the reviewer of my page this time as well? or is it random?
If you are reviewer just do me a favor, click the google search in a rviewer tool , you will get tens and hundreds of site mentionig wajd popularity and material for their users.

I agree, it is not a likely redirect. I think there is verifiable information (stuff put out by the television network) which could be reliable sources, such as episode titles and synopses (in fact on further investigation, one of the synopses was a copyvio from just such a source).

The graph says it all, really; massive increase since we cleared the backlog and introduced a bit better system. As I've said before, it is a 'victim of its own success', I think. Currently, it is pretty backlogged.
Quite a few get missed, as you can see if you flick through the archives - but I don't know what we can do about that, really, other than hope more people give feedback.
The long-term solution would be to keep these editors; so many come to just create one article, and are never heard of again; if just a few of those stayed, and started giving feedback, then we'd have a more workable system.
I suggest discussion in this WT:FEED section. Cheers!

Hello--
I was told that I had 24 hours to make revisions to my proposed article. Also, A7 does not appear to be a relevant cause for dismissal in this case, as being the author of five New York Times bestselling series is--by almost any standards--an indication of importance.
While I appreciate your attempt to provide "constructive" criticism, these were concerns previously addressed by Alpha Quadrant on which I was working, until you rudely and prematurely declined my submission.

The rule of thumb is that non-free content should never be used purely to show what a living person looks like. Your argument that "we cannot find a free picture, so we'll use a non-free one" is invalid is correct, but only up to the point whereby it seems that it is impossible that free content could be found or created, otherwise we would not be able to use any non-free content at all. In theory, it is the responsibility of those who wish to use non-free content to make an effort to have images released if possible; it is certainly the case that they need to make an effort to find some. We should not have the mentality of waiting until someone dies and then uploading a non-free image at the first opportunity; we should still make an effort to get a free image, but, when it seems a free image is not possible, non-free content would be acceptable (provided, of course, all the other criteria were met). For a case where this happened but we subsequently acquired a free image, see Charles Mackerras. Hope this answers your question. J Milburn ( talk) 00:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank-you for your input on my AFC. I have read the links and help guides suggested and have made some of the adjustments you suggested, including adding more verifiable references. I am puzzled about how many references to add - it seemed that you were suggesting I cite each and every fact separately (i.e year of birth). This is not something I see in other similar articles (see Wendell Lovett. I have however placed a reference at the end of each paragraph, in addition to specific quotes and links, and all facts are derived from the listed articles. I would appreciate some guidance here. If any other sources are not considered acceptable, even as one of several, please advise. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Architectsea ( talk • contribs) 05:21, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I understand that all facts need verification and all in the article can be verified by sources/external links cited, but I am puzzled. What level of individual referencing is required for publication? (individually referenced with a footnote ref as opposed to referenced with a footnote ref at the end of that paragraph. If individually, that could mean several references per sentence, or a least one per. I have yet to see any article written with this level of referencing (see wiki articles for I. M. Pei, Frank Gehry, Arthur Erickson, Frank Lloyd Wright, John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Barack Obama, Jimmy Carter... I am not trying to be difficult and perhaps I am missing your intention.

I don't know if this is the right place to write this, sorry if it is not.
Both submissions were declined with the following comment: This suggestion doesn't sufficiently explain the importance or significance of the subject. See the speedy deletion criteria A7 and/or guidelines on music-related topics. Please provide more information on why this musical artist or musical recording is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Thank you.
So I read the guidelines on music-related topics and there, in the "Albums, singles and songs" section I can read: In general, if the musician or ensemble is notable, then their officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia. Both albums were officially released and Ornette Coleman is a notable musician as anyone can see in Ornette Coleman. So, following these criteria, I think that the significance of the album is demonstrated. If I didn't realized something let me know it please, so I can make the right changes in the articles.

First let me say thank you for your patience with me and my article on IQMS that you recently declined. I have removed any adjectives that might tend to make the article look like and advertisement. My biggest question is that there appears to be a lack of verifiable sources, and most of the sources are "produced by the creator of the item being discussed." I have made sure that none of the sources have been produced/created by IQMS. So I am in a quandry as to why this keeps coming up. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Several of the referenced sources are blogs, which are rarely considered reliable sources. If you wish to check whether or not a specific reference is an acceptable reliable source, please ask on WP:RSN.
Again, I remind you to consider the business FAQ, which explains why it is so difficult to write a neutral article if you have a conflict of interest. The policy strongly recommends against it. If you do decide to try and write one, I personally suggest you try working on other, existing articles first; please have a look at User:Keegan/Butterfly. Best, Chzz ► 19:46, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar, I really appreciate it. On the subject of FEED, I'm still thinking about your observation—as many as come in each day, if 20 people did one a day, it would be enough (I didn't look it up, but I think I'm close). I know you do several a day, but I think one a day is a hard pace to keep up. If we had 40 people on a FEED patrol, that would mean one every other day. I'm trying to find a clever way to make this a small challenge. Th main part of the goal is to sign up for n feedback comments per week or month or whatever time frame is right, then find a way to keep track of them. I was thinking in terms of a week, but let me try something out with a month. Set a low hurdle of five per month, a medium hurdle of 10 per month and a higher hurdle of 15 per month. Maybe a low hurdle participant qualifies at the bronze level, the medium at the silver and the top at the gold (for someone like you we can go platinum, for one a day)
One of the keys (and this is where you come in) is finding an automatic way to keep track. Suppose someone signs up to be a bronze level contributor to FEED. Every time they respond to someone, the edit is captured and their count is increment. Keep track of their average over the last 90 days, and if they average .17 per day, they are considered as qualifying for the bronze level. Similarly, someone could sign up for the gold level, and it keeps track whether you maintain a .50 per day average.
Maybe you don't sign up for a level it just keeps track of what level you achieve. This is roughly akin to the Service Badge concept, except instead of being a one-time award for aggregate edits, it is a continuous concept that you can maintain or lose.
Do you have any thought on the technical aspects of it? Is there a way to capture edits in the FEED area by editor?
I bet you will think these hurdles are low, but I'd really like to have a couple hundred people who are checking in once of twice a week and commenting on a couple, in addition to the ones who are more diligent. -- SPhilbrick T 12:51, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I haven't yet given up on the idea, but given your lack of interest in 'badges of merit' I'll get input from other on the merit of the idea, but trust that you'll still be happy to provide input on the technical aspects.
I had thought of some of your concerns (but not all). Regarding the concern about asking questions, I don't see this as a problem for two reasons: first, If the count is over a 30 day period or so, I'm guessing the lowest hurdle would be five posts in a month, and it is unlikely that a person asking for feedback will post five items. Still, it could happen, so my second response is better. I imagine that people would sign up (possibly after a request form us based upon observing participants, so it is unlikely that someone who asked questions would be signing up.
I haven't seen enough activity by bots to worry about, but again, if only those signed up are measured, no problem. Alt accounts do make it a little tougher, but so far, I only see Chevymontecarlo with an alt account, and it looks like xhe will meet the top hurdle easily. Maybe we could start semi-automatic anyway - do an SQL query on occasion and update a list.
On a different, but related comment, you once mentioned having a way to send a email to a number of people. I'm thinking of writing something up, and sending a note to all the editors who contributed in September, to get a sense. It isn't perfect, as the top contributors by definition are not motivated by badges of merit, and those who might be are under-represented, but it might help me gauge the level of interest. Can you tell me how I could take the list in your query and send a note to all accounts, suggesting that they check out my not yet created user subpage?
I'm hastening to extend my intense thanks for your tender attention, my tenacity has tended to be somewhat attenuated of late, despite my intentions, and owing to extenuating circumstances: I'd attend more often, but the tenor of WP tends to make me a little too tense, hence my penitent abstention.
