Chzz, I'm wondering if you have answers to a couple of things? Are you familiar with the automatic bot that archives editors' talk pages? If so, can you help me with that? I'd really like to get it to archive every 6 mons. or so! Next, there's an amazingly great photographer who wants to plug into Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, and who opened an account under his name, Kirk Stauffer- it's just User:KirkStauffer. When I say this guy is good, have a look at photos he took at the top of the articles for Emily Robison (of Dixie Chicks fame), or Katie Melua, or many others! He has questions, and while I can help somewhat, I promised to find him someone knowledgeable and patient while he learns our ways-- if you can't help, maybe you know another editor familiar with both en.Wikipedia and Commons that can help? And, last but not least, do you know how I can sign up for a GDFL (or GFDL-- whatever the thing is called) in Commons to use to upload photos outside of my usual Flickr transfers done manually?-- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 02:44, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Dear Chzz, Please take another look at my slightly revised Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jimmy Earl. In Reference [4], I have replaced the link to Allmusic with one to the US Copyright Office entry for "I'm Home Africa", which lists him as one of the authors. I have also removed the link that appeared just below the header "As a guest artist". This was intended as a help for anyone who wanted to browse Allmusic for more information. I did leave the Allmusic links in References [7] and [8]. These are intended only to document that the CDs exist, not to prove anything. I hope this is OK. If not, please let me know, and I will take them out.
I really can't see why Allmusic is not considered reliable. It is recommended in the article on Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Resources; there is a Template:Allmusic, which mentions Allmusic as a source; finally, links to Allmusic appear in dozens of Wikipedia articles on music.

Please relook at the entire change by Ruth Jarman Shiraishi. "She" has added names of his children, the part you looked at and Hobbies and family life Jarman was an adventurer and avid traveller. Taking yearly vacations to Hawaii, Jarman began a legacy of activity in Hawaii by his son John Henry Jarman II. Jarman was an avid fisherman and loved the outdoors. He often went fly fishing with his son Steve Jarman and always had a few dogs around to keep him company. He was the dignified, intelligent and chivalrous. And more. Please also look at my recent change at List of United States Representatives from Oklahoma. Not a n00b, and know how to edit, thanks. 75.204.32.67 ( talk) 08:09, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Ruth Jarman Shiraishi ( talk · contribs) has made one edit - [1] - to John Jarman. As there are no references for it, it isn't a very useful edit. Is that what you were asking me about? Do you have a question, or something you'd like me to do?
Maybe you should get yourself a user account - that can make things somewhat easier to follow. See Wikipedia:Why create an account?. Best, Chzz ► 05:28, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Chzz. I'm having trouble finding this article that I created and would appreciate your help not only finding it but getting it accepted. Can you please help me? Cheers Bern Bernie M Smith ( talk) 11:35, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
...for some reason - probably my dodgy internet connection - I can't open refs 1 and 8 at this time.
Hi again Chzz - I've since found the article and read your comments. Roberts is already listed on Wiki in a number of places - surely it makes sense to connect the dots. If you agree, I just need some help doing this, as is this my first entry and I'm feeling very discouraged. He is listed on a number of pages including... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIN_News http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTV_(TV_station) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_and_away_characters http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamma_Mia! Cheers Bern Bernie M Smith ( talk) 11:50, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the response... I appreciate your detail. There are at least five items in various newspapers which would probably meet the notability for criteria but the editors have chosen not to post online. They are profile pieces like the Shepparton Adviser which you had trouble accessing. Can you please try this link and see if it works for you? http://sheppartonadviser.ezyzine.com/Public/Template2/ThreadView.aspx?tid=16670 I don't know how to get around the print vs e-posted issue... any ideas?

Thanks Chzz - I've also done a little further surfing and have found some further online resoruces but am unsure how to use them and construct this page. Here are the one of interest which confirm/relate the details on Roberts. Can you please advise me on what to do next? If you don't have time then maybe there is someone else you could refer me to?

Dear sir. Why do you call my change of the Kleina article vandalism? It names two bakeries in the country which sell the pastry and the resource is a travel book. Kleinur can be bought in almost every bakery and convenience store, so this makes the article seem like an advertisement for two single bakeries.
I think that's a reason good enough for the change and I ask you not to revert it again. Almar D ( talk) 08:52, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
I have a question for the editor Chzz. You declined my article for creation on Innotrac on January 22. I am still farily new to Wikipedia (this is my first article), and am trying to understand the process/rules.

Yo, I understand the verifiability issue, but that is too totally messed up in wikipedia - as a matter of fact, from past experience and noting these things, I can confidently say that wikipedia is a corrupt place where admins themselves regularly push POV and stuff like that. I like wikipedia, but it has now reached such a level that it is hard to have respect for it anymore. Another example is the Bulgar issue - there exists SO much strong evidence clearly showing that most probably they were not Turkic, but Iranic, even DNA evidence, I mean come on, but admins still ignore all the sources and evidence, without bothering to research on the topic themselves (like the Bulgars) and are just following blindly other admins, thinking that becuase he is an admin he must be right and thus supports him, without first thinking himself and researching the topic himself. I hope you are aware as an admin (I assume you are an admin) of the corruption happening in wikipedia - it is now close to being out of control. And for the record, more pages are better, you say it is not better if the info is wrong etc etc, but look at the album page - how can it be wrong - it lists the tracks - I meant more pages that have little chance of containing wrong info (like the album page). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.132.116.116 ( talk) 11:55, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Chazz,
I see that there's problem with article Pavao Skalic, resources, reliability etc... I've have read contributors ( 88... and something) comments and i must agree he's right. Instead of insisting on citations, resources, and other stuff for some constatations, I think this article should be cleared of any constatations ( even ones with regular citations) and leave only pure facts. If you ask me why, there's one simple answer - editing history on this page show us that obviously there's to much conflict about his nationality... and will be in future, so that could be avoided by removing any interpretation and leaving text with simple facts which cannot be disputed. What's your thoughts on this issue?
Words of user 88... :
Compromise ? How about to leave only facts such as, he was born in, ... lived in countries,... etc... and leave disputed infos. about his nationality behind... ? And leave anyone who read it to decide for himself... isn't that more than reasonable?
Although he is acting like vandal, he has a point with this conclusion, what do you think?

Done*Born: Ilchester, Somerset, England / Died: Pawtuxet, Rhode Island - could we remove 'England'? Hopefully, you'll understand why it isn't "even-handed"
Done* first Baptist Church in America - the 'F' should be caps, I think
Done*sixteen years should be "16 years" - only numbers 1-9 should be written out; WP:ORDINAL.
Done*two hundred years and six generations. Nearly three hundred years after - ditto; 200, six, 300
Done*Caption: Church of St. Andrew in Northover, England where William... - and, general comment re. captions - they're probably too long; captions need to be short, just saying what the picture is. Any detail needs to be in the body text
Done*Born in Ilchester, Somerset, England - I accept that 'England' might be acceptable here, but please don't link it; it is too common a term. See WP:OVERLINK
Done*In about 1610 he married Christian Peak who was baptized 15 February 1584,[b][3] the daughter of Thomas Peak of Muchelney, Somerset, a village about six miles (10 km) west of Ilchester. - because of the mid-sentence ref, I can't tell if the remainder has a reference. Maybe add a further ref at the end or, if it is covered in [3], move that to the end. The note [b] is appropriate immediately after the date; my concern is, where the rest of the facts can be verified - ie 'six miles'
Done*Caption, The name of the ship that the Arnold family took from England to New England in 1635 is not known, but they sailed from southwestern England as did the Mayflower (depicted here) 15 years earlier. Painting by William Halsall (1882). - again, too long; the details should be in text, not caption. It should probably be something like, "The Mayflower, which sailed 15 years earlier."
Done*Para starting William Arnold's parents lived... - please add refs at the end of each sentence, instead of at the end of the para, so we can see where each part comes from. Otherwise, it gets confusing if someone later adds more info. Imagine;
Done*" Settling Providence and Pawtuxet", image: Images have to be right-aligned, at the beginning of sections. You can left-align a further image within the section (so, the map, later could be left if you wanted), but the section text should always begin on the left.
Done*four miles (6 km) - "six".
Done*Arnold's relationship with the native people was very good, largely because... - needs a ref for this specific sentence
Done*Here William Arnold remained until the final few weeks... and Though in many deeds he continued to be called "of Providence,"... - need refs'
Done*"Difficulty with the Gortonites" - again, image needs to be right-aligned
Done*Children; married (1) Zachariah Rhodes (c.1603-1665) and married (2) Samuel Reape. - the (1) and (2) are a bit confusing; it's a kind of abbreviation. Try to explain it, instead; "Was married to FOO from n to n (why did it end? did he die?) and then re-married..." or whatever.
Done*Notes, re. dates - can you add a reference to the note a)? Please note that there are technical problems adding a ref to a note, but it can be done; see this.
|
(I've also made a few minor edits, which you can see in the 'history)
General: It is a nice article; you've done fantastic work on it.
The above comments are the sort of thing I'd write in a GA review (but, in themselves, are not a comprehensive review) - so, after addressing these issues, I recommend getting it listed to GAR.

Regarding original research, my cons. aren't part of any OR, article etc., only my opinion based on exp. And consider soething else: it's absurdly that this article has more about his nationality than his work!

Hassan Ragab is mentioned a few times in Wikipedia -- as the founder of the Egyptian Green Party in 1990 and also as the scientist who rediscovered how Papyrus was made. This mention in in the main "Papyrus" page. However, Dr. Ragab is also perhaps most famous as being not only a noble and important scientist in Egypt, but also an Egyptian General during WWII, and one of the educated military leaders who accepted the leadership of President Nassar in 1952. Because of this, he was the first ambasador to China in 1956, as well as the ambassador to many other countries in the 1950s. He retired from government service early to focus on this interest in papyrus, and also to establish a business. I have heard Hassan Ragab referred to the Ben Franklin of Egypt... and I think that is about right. Your help in getting his photo and article published would be helpful to Wikipedia users. THANKS in advance for your help.

Chzz, I'd used Twinkle a few days ago to PROD the Greater Santa Barbara Ice Skating Association article. I just revisited the article to see if the PROD had been reverted and when doing that realized the only person I'd notified before was an inactive apparent WP:SPA that had created the article. I see that you reviewed this article on 6 October 2009 and at the time decided to allow it to remain. Thus it makes sense for you to take a look to see if the PROD makes sense or if this should be taken to WP:AFD. -- Marc Kupper| talk 07:23, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Good Morning, As you have commented after your review, I have improved the references in the article Sebastiane Award. Anyway, after beeing in contact with other reviewers of this article, Kevin Rutherford and Dusti, I thought the article only needed format changes. I have included a lot of internet references to think it is relevant. Sebastiane Award is a translation of the Spanish Wiki article (Premio Sebastiane)and bask article (Sebastiane Saria). In both of them, they considered "relevant".
Sebastiane Award is a award included in the awards given by San Sebastian Film Festival as a minor award. Sebastiane is similar to other film awards given in the Berlin Film Festival (Teddy Award) and Venice Film Festival (Queer Lion). Both of them have their article in Wikedia.
Please, let me know if I have to do other changes. I would like to include a photo, but I though to do it later. If you consider that this could help to publish the article, I will do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zinesebastiane ( talk • contribs) 09:00, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Krámpack[3], from the film director Cesc Gay, was the first film awarded with Sebastiane Prize.
The film reflected with originality, humour and tenderness the awakening affection of a gay teenager
The jury of this edition was made up by the writter Luis G. Martin, film critic Begoña del Teso, Angel Retamar from ZERO magazine, Gehitu members, Patricia García and David Montero.

Hi CHZZ You helped me a while ago and launched an article for me last year. I've tried via Ukexpat but he seems really busy and hasn't replied since 7th Jan! I've got an article in my User Space named William France Jnr (Cabinetmaker & Upholsterer) which I've worked on for a while and would like to move it into the live system.

I have to admit I'm finding this process quite impossible. I can look at any number of articles on 'live' Wikipedia and don't see annotations for every individual fact. The vast majority of the information comes from the Published article on the France family by Geoffrey Castle. I can quote that every time there's a statement in the text but I thought that would be a bit cumbersome. Also are you talking about both articles or one in particular?

OK I'll give it a go over the next few days. I'm not trying to buck the system and really do understand why you have to do it. I don't want a Wikipedia full of inaccuracies myself.

I will go over it with a fine-tooth comb and correct all the mistakes I've made and absolutely remove any conflict of interest aspects of the piece. I do a lot of marketing and PR and often have a tendency to "play up" things too much. The subject of the article is also a long-time friend, and I was the editor of her most recent book.

Chzz:
Today I went to the new sub-page you created for me: User:Cmckibben/Andrea Michaels. I made a bunch of changes and saved it several times. I spent about 5 hours on it. I saved it, logged off and went out for awhile. Just now I came back and logged on, went to the sub-page (I thought) and none of the changes were there.
I think the issue is that I don't know how to move around WP well, and I don't know what I did wrong. Can you help me? I got rid of so many external links, coming up with valid references. I still have more work to do on it. But one way to tell is that I got rid of all the client listings and listings of events she has done. And obviously the external links in the beginning are gone.
Can you help me find what I did this morning? I know I saved it. Thank you, Carol Cmckibben ( talk) 22:50, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I saw the note saying "Please try to address the concerns explained in the 'feedback' request" In the feedback request, you said:
Please be very careful about drawing conclusions - for example, saying The problem is that some marital goods are difficult to trade. - that isn't appropriate encyclopaedic language (saying "the problem is...") and, it appears to be original research, which is not permitted; see also WP:OR. There are also unreferenced claims, such as Evidence supporting the Zelder paradox can be found in higher divorce rates for couples with children - again, that looks like original research, unless someone else has published that claim.
My reply was:
Thanks for your comments. Instead of "the problem is...", how about "In order to be applicable, however, the Coase Theorem requires frictionless trading between parties. In marriage, some goods are difficult to trade. (footnote to Zelder 1993)" On the second comment, this claim has been published. I meant the Zelder 1993 reference to apply to the whole paragraph. I'll change it to make that clearer.Barkrich (talk)
I made these changes, which you can see on User:Barkrich/Zelder_Paradox. Do they address your concerns? I'm sorry for the fragmented discussion - I'm still learning my way around here. Barkrich ( talk)
Thanks! Barkrich ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:58, 4 February 2011 (UTC).
Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Zelder Paradox
I think, overall, maybe you are writing too much of your own opinions about the Zelder Paradox, and not simply stating facts that other, reliable sources have published about it. That is the key point; we do not do any original research.
Some other comments, for potential improvement to the aritcle;
(Some of the above, of course, being asthetic - an article does not have to be in any way 'perfect' to be accepted via AFC; it just needs to be neutral and verifiable).
I hope that helps. If you work on it further, then I suggest you 'resubmit' to AFC; there are instructions on how, at the top of the page. Best of luck, Chzz ► 06:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
I see that you have rejected my submission for the new entry "Rose Hill School, Alderley". What I submitted is what used to be the entry for "Rose Hill School" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rose_Hill_School&oldid=321370155) with some further detail provided by myself. The "Rose Hill School" entry was taken over by the Rose Hill School in Tunbridge Wells after the Rose Hill School in Alderley closed in July 2009. In view of the closure of the Rose Hill School in Alderley, it seems fair enough to me that the Rose Hill School in Tunbridge Wells should take over the "Rose Hill School" entry, but then that means the loss of an entry for the Rose Hill School in Alderley, hence why I have submitted one for it. As a former member of the Rose Hill School in Alderley, pretty much all of the detail I have added is from personal knowledge/experience, which I would have thought was self-evident as the originator. Do I really need to somehow reference myself? The alternative to creating a new/separate entry for the Rose Hill School in Alderley is of course to reclaim the "Rose Hill School" entry, thereby trashing the information for the Rose Hill School in Tunbridge Wells. This would no doubt lead to some sort of edit war which would benefit nobody, least of all Wikipedia. Would you therefore please reconsider accepting my submission?
Thank you very much.

Pretty good, JohnCD. I can see where you are coming from. I think you should stick more to the specific 'noticeboard' analogy, because there are so many essays and attempts at covering more-or-less the same thing, and it's easy to drop into the kinda "same old rhetoric", ie repeating the same basic points said in so many essays - such as the WP:AMNESIA you link to.
Speaking more cynically, I have to say: very very few of the target-audience can actually be bothered to read any of these great essays, sadly.
I've written similar things myself; maybe it might give ideas - see User:Keegan/Butterfly#Company articles (which also needs developing), and User:Chzz/help/coinn (the latter being one of the pages I keep to copy/paste and adapt, for specific cases)

Thanks for your pretty extensive cleanup work tonight on Rose Hill School (Alderley). I had approved it out of AfC after I did some cleanup and ran reflinks on it as it was much improved, but obviously the article still needed some fairly significant improvement. Perhaps I was a bit hasty... I'm also not sure why my reflinks run didn't collapse all the duplicate links, but I'll keep an eye out for this in the future. In any case, thanks for cleaning this one up. Zachlipton ( talk) 10:10, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Chzz I tried out something new for me - creating an article Edward France (Cabinetmaker) and moving it into mainspace. It said 'Move (redirect?) succeeded' but when I type in Edward France into the Wiki search box nothing comes up as if it's not there. However the links to and from William France, Sr (cabinetmaker) work perfectly and it comes up as an entry in a google search. So, what have I done wrong?

Happy Friday, Chzz. Just dropping by with a nod of thanks for taking the time to help iron things out. It is refreshing to see that in the midst of a perplexing scenario, as long as one stays calm, cool and collected, thoughtful folks like you are willing to come in and make sense of it all with the same healthy approach.
I hope that you are able to enjoy your weekend. Cheers, Jeff Bedford ( talk) 16:58, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Its again with great disappointment for me towards the Wikipedia.
I have created a new biography article of Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmir and has been reviewed more than dozen times by two or three administrators of wikipedia and every time they came up with new things to do and I have done what ever possible as they instructed. Now, I have been asked some silly questions to add and have been declined after week's discussion:
I wrote He was born on 1958 and been asked "Citation needed", What I have to do???? PROVIDE WITH HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE???????? and in another sentence I wrote Mr Kashmiri has his early education from Government High School, Trarkhal in 1973 and again asked "citation needed".
I wrote From 1980 to 1997, Mr Kashmiri had organised several[quantify] seminars, rallies and meetings in various[which?] cities of Kashmir. I HAVE NO QUANTITY OF THESE SEMINARS ETC FROM 1980, THESE ARE COUNTLESS AND HE MR. KASHMIRI TRAVELLED ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY AND ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO JUST MENTION SOME OR ALL CITIES!!!!!!!
IS THIS A JOKE WITH ME or their are influenced Administrators who are anti-Kashmiri, I am confused. WHEN SOME ONE WITH FAKE ID PUBLISHED ABUSIVE AND INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL, IT WAS PUBLISHED INSTANTLY AND WHEN ON MY REQUEST THIS WAS DELETED AND ASKED TO CREATE A NEW ONE, I HAVE TO GO THROUGH INTERROGATION LIKE A CRIMINAL, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY MAKE ME FEEL BAD. I am holding position of Media Secretary in this part (United Kashmir People's National Party-UKPNP) and also provided links to our website.
I HAVE PROVIDED WITH MAXIMUM REFERENCES/SOURCES AS I CAN, FROM AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, HUMAN RIGHT WATCH, MR. KASHMIRI'S PARTY WEBSITE AND MANY MORE. ARE SOURCE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL AND THEIR REPORTS NOT TRUST-ABLE OR RELIABLE? OR WIKIPEDIA DON'T WANT TO ADD THIS ARTICLE TO THEIR SYSTEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
Looking forward for your prompt reply in this regard.

Hi Chzz:
I hate to bother you, but I need to ask your help once more:
I reviewed the live article that you so generously assisted me with on 2/10/11 at 10:30 a.m. Pacific. I found four things that I think need to be edited, and I don't dare go into it right now as I'm not sure if you're totally finished with it. They are: 1) could you change "2005" to "2006" in the photo caption? 2) Footnote numbers 37 and 44 should read "Jon Michaels" and not "John Michaels; 3) Footnote #48 Should be "What's on the Pillow?" not "What' on the Pillow?" Do you mind making these changes since I don't want to mess up anything you've done! Thanks! Cmckibben (talk) 18:46, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Also, I now see that I need to categorize this article. I came up with some appropriate categories as follows but don't know how to insert them. They are: 1943 births|living people|American entertainment industry businesspeople|American people of Croatian decent|American Event Producers|American Women in Business|UCLA Alumni|People from Los Angeles, California
Is it possible for you to tell me how to insert them?
Thanks, so sorry to keep bothering you! Let me know! Cmckibben ( talk) 21:45, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
Chzz: Thank you. I resent the email to 'photosubmission@wikimedia.org' and copied you on it. I put File: Andrea Accepting AwardCropped3.jpg in the subject line. I hope someone will let me know if it is not received this time. I sent it previously on February 9, 2011.
Regarding the photo, I believe that it was taken on January 5, 2006 because she won the award she is holding in the picture for an event she produced in 2005, and the 2005 is a typo. But we can just leave it if it's a problem.

Hi Chzz, thanks again for your great comments at the 12 Gauge FAC. I was excited at the process, but the whole thing just sort of seemed to get "passed over" by the majority of reviewers. So I may run the article through a peer review and bring it back to FAC in the future. I hope you'll be able to take a look at it if-and-when I do!

"But in practice not everything need actually be attributed." WIKI guidelines.
I think you have overreacted in your editing of my article. The facts are all contained in the literature cited, and there is nothing contentious unless indicated in the text.
As edited by you the article becomes useless.
Hope you will take the time to look at the article and grasp my point.
Davidhartill ( talk) 09:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Perhaps I could give you an example: In the article about "Golden Retrivers" the history of these dogs is quite properly foot-noted as there could be some doubt or other opinions about their origins.
But under the section Grooming, it is not felt necessary to mention that they are hairy beasts that take a lot of grooming. This a matter of observed and non-contentious fact (I used to own one!), and it would be pedantic to try and foot-note it.
Similarly, it would be pedantic to foot-note that the Tang Dynasty issued such and such a coin, which is a historical fact, well know to Chinese historians, and Chinese coin fans.
On the early issues, where the facts are not quite so clear, there are foot-notes to indicate this.

Cheers! I haven't yet worked out how to make one reference thingy cited in several places, so I have at the moment three duplicate reference sources (same book, same page).

Ta! Is that enough citations to be OK now? ( ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 18:10, 18 February 2011 (UTC))
Dartmoors ponies are native to Britain, but today are also seen in other parts of the world. where? They are often used as a foundation breeding stock for the Riding Pony. who? The breed makes an ideal peacock prose children’s mount, but it is also quite capable of carrying an adult. who? With their natural jump and good movement, neutrality is disputed they are used for hunting, showing, and jumping, citation needed and are also excellent neutrality is disputed driving ponies.
I could probably drag up some references to other parts of the world, if I wasn't so knackered, lol! I may come back to that one. I think if someone were prepared to trawl through the BSPS (British Show Pony Society) records of show-type Riding Pony pedigrees, it would be possible to show Dartmoor ancestry in many of them - but I don't have access to the pedigrees of everything registered since the year dot with the BSPS, lol! Not sure how to get over the peacocky bit, as it's 'common knowledge' amongst pony people. Dartmoor have carried adults for centuries, they were the Dartmoor farmers' standard working pony, expected to do everything asked of them. Similar to the New Forest ponies, which are regularly ridden by adults. (I expect there might be some show results recprds somewhere showing that pony x ridden in championship y was ridden by an adult, but is it worth it?) Again, with access to competition records one could show that Dartmoors jump as well as do 'showing', and the locals around the moor certainly do hunt on them (would one have to go to the local hunt's records to prove it? Not sure if that would even be possible, as it would be original research anyway - unless Horse and Hound has featured someone hunting on a Dartmoor!) British Driving Society records of competitions might show Dartmoor ponies getting placed or winning in competitions - but mostly these things aren't published, or at least are darned hard to track down.
Thanks again for all your help; I really do appreciate it. ( ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 20:47, 18 February 2011 (UTC))

Dear Chzz, Please take another look at my slightly revised Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jimmy Earl. In Reference [4], I have replaced the link to Allmusic with one to the US Copyright Office entry for "I'm Home Africa", which lists him as one of the authors. I have also removed the link that appeared just below the header "As a guest artist". This was intended as a help for anyone who wanted to browse Allmusic for more information. I did leave the Allmusic links in References [7] and [8]. These are intended only to document that the CDs exist, not to prove anything. I hope this is OK. If not, please let me know, and I will take them out.
I really can't see why Allmusic is not considered reliable. It is recommended in the article on Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Resources; there is a Template:Allmusic, which mentions Allmusic as a source; finally, links to Allmusic appear in dozens of Wikipedia articles on music.

Hi Chzz
Thanks for the tips you sent through, I've had another go at this with the system you added. Can you please review it again? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Bruce_Roberts_(News_Reader)
Also I have a photo and a screen-grab of the guy. How do I upload those? Thanks Bern Bernie M Smith ( talk) 01:32, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Dear sir. Why do you call my change of the Kleina article vandalism? It names two bakeries in the country which sell the pastry and the resource is a travel book. Kleinur can be bought in almost every bakery and convenience store, so this makes the article seem like an advertisement for two single bakeries.
I think that's a reason good enough for the change and I ask you not to revert it again. Almar D ( talk) 08:52, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
I have a question for the editor Chzz. You declined my article for creation on Innotrac on January 22. I am still farily new to Wikipedia (this is my first article), and am trying to understand the process/rules. I am working on your suggestions, but wanted to understand the best way to meet the requirements. I've looked at several other similar articles posted and they read a lot like mine, so I'm not sure where I'm missing it. Please let me know. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yolanda Kokayi ( talk • contribs) 18:30, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Chzz, thank you for your feedback? Using your example about the "Bellsouth" example, would a company's annual report suffice as a reference? It is a legal document and filed with the SEC. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yolanda Kokayi ( talk • contribs) 19:20, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Yo, I understand the verifiability issue, but that is too totally messed up in wikipedia - as a matter of fact, from past experience and noting these things, I can confidently say that wikipedia is a corrupt place where admins themselves regularly push POV and stuff like that. I like wikipedia, but it has now reached such a level that it is hard to have respect for it anymore. Another example is the Bulgar issue - there exists SO much strong evidence clearly showing that most probably they were not Turkic, but Iranic, even DNA evidence, I mean come on, but admins still ignore all the sources and evidence, without bothering to research on the topic themselves (like the Bulgars) and are just following blindly other admins, thinking that becuase he is an admin he must be right and thus supports him, without first thinking himself and researching the topic himself. I hope you are aware as an admin (I assume you are an admin) of the corruption happening in wikipedia - it is now close to being out of control. And for the record, more pages are better, you say it is not better if the info is wrong etc etc, but look at the album page - how can it be wrong - it lists the tracks - I meant more pages that have little chance of containing wrong info (like the album page). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.132.116.116 ( talk) 11:55, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Chazz,
I see that there's problem with article Pavao Skalic, resources, reliability etc... I've have read contributors ( 88... and something) comments and i must agree he's right. Instead of insisting on citations, resources, and other stuff for some constatations, I think this article should be cleared of any constatations ( even ones with regular citations) and leave only pure facts. If you ask me why, there's one simple answer - editing history on this page show us that obviously there's to much conflict about his nationality... and will be in future, so that could be avoided by removing any interpretation and leaving text with simple facts which cannot be disputed. What's your thoughts on this issue?
Words of user 88... :
Compromise ? How about to leave only facts such as, he was born in, ... lived in countries,... etc... and leave disputed infos. about his nationality behind... ? And leave anyone who read it to decide for himself... isn't that more than reasonable?
Although he is acting like vandal, he has a point with this conclusion, what do you think?

Done*Born: Ilchester, Somerset, England / Died: Pawtuxet, Rhode Island - could we remove 'England'? Hopefully, you'll understand why it isn't "even-handed"
Done* first Baptist Church in America - the 'F' should be caps, I think
Done*sixteen years should be "16 years" - only numbers 1-9 should be written out; WP:ORDINAL.
Done*two hundred years and six generations. Nearly three hundred years after - ditto; 200, six, 300
Done*Caption: Church of St. Andrew in Northover, England where William... - and, general comment re. captions - they're probably too long; captions need to be short, just saying what the picture is. Any detail needs to be in the body text
Done*Born in Ilchester, Somerset, England - I accept that 'England' might be acceptable here, but please don't link it; it is too common a term. See WP:OVERLINK
Done*In about 1610 he married Christian Peak who was baptized 15 February 1584,[b][3] the daughter of Thomas Peak of Muchelney, Somerset, a village about six miles (10 km) west of Ilchester. - because of the mid-sentence ref, I can't tell if the remainder has a reference. Maybe add a further ref at the end or, if it is covered in [3], move that to the end. The note [b] is appropriate immediately after the date; my concern is, where the rest of the facts can be verified - ie 'six miles'
Done*Caption, The name of the ship that the Arnold family took from England to New England in 1635 is not known, but they sailed from southwestern England as did the Mayflower (depicted here) 15 years earlier. Painting by William Halsall (1882). - again, too long; the details should be in text, not caption. It should probably be something like, "The Mayflower, which sailed 15 years earlier."
Done*Para starting William Arnold's parents lived... - please add refs at the end of each sentence, instead of at the end of the para, so we can see where each part comes from. Otherwise, it gets confusing if someone later adds more info. Imagine;
Done*" Settling Providence and Pawtuxet", image: Images have to be right-aligned, at the beginning of sections. You can left-align a further image within the section (so, the map, later could be left if you wanted), but the section text should always begin on the left.
Done*four miles (6 km) - "six".
Done*Arnold's relationship with the native people was very good, largely because... - needs a ref for this specific sentence
Done*Here William Arnold remained until the final few weeks... and Though in many deeds he continued to be called "of Providence,"... - need refs'
Done*"Difficulty with the Gortonites" - again, image needs to be right-aligned
Done*Children; married (1) Zachariah Rhodes (c.1603-1665) and married (2) Samuel Reape. - the (1) and (2) are a bit confusing; it's a kind of abbreviation. Try to explain it, instead; "Was married to FOO from n to n (why did it end? did he die?) and then re-married..." or whatever.
Done*Notes, re. dates - can you add a reference to the note a)? Please note that there are technical problems adding a ref to a note, but it can be done; see this.
|
(I've also made a few minor edits, which you can see in the 'history)
General: It is a nice article; you've done fantastic work on it.
The above comments are the sort of thing I'd write in a GA review (but, in themselves, are not a comprehensive review) - so, after addressing these issues, I recommend getting it listed to GAR.

Regarding original research, my cons. aren't part of any OR, article etc., only my opinion based on exp. And consider soething else: it's absurdly that this article has more about his nationality than his work!

Hassan Ragab is mentioned a few times in Wikipedia -- as the founder of the Egyptian Green Party in 1990 and also as the scientist who rediscovered how Papyrus was made. This mention in in the main "Papyrus" page. However, Dr. Ragab is also perhaps most famous as being not only a noble and important scientist in Egypt, but also an Egyptian General during WWII, and one of the educated military leaders who accepted the leadership of President Nassar in 1952. Because of this, he was the first ambasador to China in 1956, as well as the ambassador to many other countries in the 1950s. He retired from government service early to focus on this interest in papyrus, and also to establish a business. I have heard Hassan Ragab referred to the Ben Franklin of Egypt... and I think that is about right. Your help in getting his photo and article published would be helpful to Wikipedia users. THANKS in advance for your help.

Chzz, I'd used Twinkle a few days ago to PROD the Greater Santa Barbara Ice Skating Association article. I just revisited the article to see if the PROD had been reverted and when doing that realized the only person I'd notified before was an inactive apparent WP:SPA that had created the article. I see that you reviewed this article on 6 October 2009 and at the time decided to allow it to remain. Thus it makes sense for you to take a look to see if the PROD makes sense or if this should be taken to WP:AFD. -- Marc Kupper| talk 07:23, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Good Morning, As you have commented after your review, I have improved the references in the article Sebastiane Award. Anyway, after beeing in contact with other reviewers of this article, Kevin Rutherford and Dusti, I thought the article only needed format changes. I have included a lot of internet references to think it is relevant. Sebastiane Award is a translation of the Spanish Wiki article (Premio Sebastiane)and bask article (Sebastiane Saria). In both of them, they considered "relevant".
Sebastiane Award is a award included in the awards given by San Sebastian Film Festival as a minor award. Sebastiane is similar to other film awards given in the Berlin Film Festival (Teddy Award) and Venice Film Festival (Queer Lion). Both of them have their article in Wikedia.
Please, let me know if I have to do other changes. I would like to include a photo, but I though to do it later. If you consider that this could help to publish the article, I will do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zinesebastiane ( talk • contribs) 09:00, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

I have to admit I'm finding this process quite impossible. I can look at any number of articles on 'live' Wikipedia and don't see annotations for every individual fact. The vast majority of the information comes from the Published article on the France family by Geoffrey Castle. I can quote that every time there's a statement in the text but I thought that would be a bit cumbersome. Also are you talking about both articles or one in particular?

I will go over it with a fine-tooth comb and correct all the mistakes I've made and absolutely remove any conflict of interest aspects of the piece. I do a lot of marketing and PR and often have a tendency to "play up" things too much. The subject of the article is also a long-time friend, and I was the editor of her most recent book.

Today I went to the new sub-page you created for me: User:Cmckibben/Andrea Michaels. I made a bunch of changes and saved it several times. I spent about 5 hours on it. I saved it, logged off and went out for awhile. Just now I came back and logged on, went to the sub-page (I thought) and none of the changes were there.
I think the issue is that I don't know how to move around WP well, and I don't know what I did wrong. Can you help me? I got rid of so many external links, coming up with valid references. I still have more work to do on it. But one way to tell is that I got rid of all the client listings and listings of events she has done. And obviously the external links in the beginning are gone.

Hi, I saw the note saying "Please try to address the concerns explained in the 'feedback' request" In the feedback request, you said:
Please be very careful about drawing conclusions - for example, saying The problem is that some marital goods are difficult to trade. - that isn't appropriate encyclopaedic language (saying "the problem is...") and, it appears to be original research, which is not permitted; see also WP:OR. There are also unreferenced claims, such as Evidence supporting the Zelder paradox can be found in higher divorce rates for couples with children - again, that looks like original research, unless someone else has published that claim.
My reply was:
Thanks for your comments. Instead of "the problem is...", how about "In order to be applicable, however, the Coase Theorem requires frictionless trading between parties. In marriage, some goods are difficult to trade. (footnote to Zelder 1993)" On the second comment, this claim has been published. I meant the Zelder 1993 reference to apply to the whole paragraph. I'll change it to make that clearer.Barkrich (talk)
I made these changes, which you can see on User:Barkrich/Zelder_Paradox. Do they address your concerns? I'm sorry for the fragmented discussion - I'm still learning my way around here. Barkrich ( talk)
Thanks! Barkrich ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:58, 4 February 2011 (UTC).
Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Zelder Paradox
I think, overall, maybe you are writing too much of your own opinions about the Zelder Paradox, and not simply stating facts that other, reliable sources have published about it. That is the key point; we do not do any original research.
Some other comments, for potential improvement to the aritcle;
(Some of the above, of course, being asthetic - an article does not have to be in any way 'perfect' to be accepted via AFC; it just needs to be neutral and verifiable).
I hope that helps. If you work on it further, then I suggest you 'resubmit' to AFC; there are instructions on how, at the top of the page. Best of luck, Chzz ► 06:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
I see that you have rejected my submission for the new entry "Rose Hill School, Alderley". What I submitted is what used to be the entry for "Rose Hill School" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rose_Hill_School&oldid=321370155) with some further detail provided by myself. The "Rose Hill School" entry was taken over by the Rose Hill School in Tunbridge Wells after the Rose Hill School in Alderley closed in July 2009. In view of the closure of the Rose Hill School in Alderley, it seems fair enough to me that the Rose Hill School in Tunbridge Wells should take over the "Rose Hill School" entry, but then that means the loss of an entry for the Rose Hill School in Alderley, hence why I have submitted one for it. As a former member of the Rose Hill School in Alderley, pretty much all of the detail I have added is from personal knowledge/experience, which I would have thought was self-evident as the originator. Do I really need to somehow reference myself? The alternative to creating a new/separate entry for the Rose Hill School in Alderley is of course to reclaim the "Rose Hill School" entry, thereby trashing the information for the Rose Hill School in Tunbridge Wells. This would no doubt lead to some sort of edit war which would benefit nobody, least of all Wikipedia. Would you therefore please reconsider accepting my submission?
Thank you very much.

Pretty good, JohnCD. I can see where you are coming from. I think you should stick more to the specific 'noticeboard' analogy, because there are so many essays and attempts at covering more-or-less the same thing, and it's easy to drop into the kinda "same old rhetoric", ie repeating the same basic points said in so many essays - such as the WP:AMNESIA you link to.
Speaking more cynically, I have to say: very very few of the target-audience can actually be bothered to read any of these great essays, sadly.
I've written similar things myself; maybe it might give ideas - see User:Keegan/Butterfly#Company articles (which also needs developing), and User:Chzz/help/coinn (the latter being one of the pages I keep to copy/paste and adapt, for specific cases)

Thanks for your pretty extensive cleanup work tonight on Rose Hill School (Alderley). I had approved it out of AfC after I did some cleanup and ran reflinks on it as it was much improved, but obviously the article still needed some fairly significant improvement.

Its again with great disappointment for me towards the Wikipedia.
I have created a new biography article of Sardar Shaukat Ali Kashmir and has been reviewed more than dozen times by two or three administrators of wikipedia and every time they came up with new things to do and I have done what ever possible as they instructed. Now, I have been asked some silly questions to add and have been declined after week's discussion:
I wrote He was born on 1958 and been asked "Citation needed", What I have to do???? PROVIDE WITH HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE???????? and in another sentence I wrote Mr Kashmiri has his early education from Government High School, Trarkhal in 1973 and again asked "citation needed".
I wrote From 1980 to 1997, Mr Kashmiri had organised several[quantify] seminars, rallies and meetings in various[which?] cities of Kashmir. I HAVE NO QUANTITY OF THESE SEMINARS ETC FROM 1980, THESE ARE COUNTLESS AND HE MR. KASHMIRI TRAVELLED ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY AND ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO JUST MENTION SOME OR ALL CITIES!!!!!!!
IS THIS A JOKE WITH ME or their are influenced Administrators who are anti-Kashmiri, I am confused. WHEN SOME ONE WITH FAKE ID PUBLISHED ABUSIVE AND INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL, IT WAS PUBLISHED INSTANTLY AND WHEN ON MY REQUEST THIS WAS DELETED AND ASKED TO CREATE A NEW ONE, I HAVE TO GO THROUGH INTERROGATION LIKE A CRIMINAL, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY MAKE ME FEEL BAD. I am holding position of Media Secretary in this part (United Kashmir People's National Party-UKPNP) and also provided links to our website.
I HAVE PROVIDED WITH MAXIMUM REFERENCES/SOURCES AS I CAN, FROM AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, HUMAN RIGHT WATCH, MR. KASHMIRI'S PARTY WEBSITE AND MANY MORE. ARE SOURCE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL AND THEIR REPORTS NOT TRUST-ABLE OR RELIABLE? OR WIKIPEDIA DON'T WANT TO ADD THIS ARTICLE TO THEIR SYSTEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Hi Chzz:
I hate to bother you, but I need to ask your help once more:
I reviewed the live article that you so generously assisted me with on 2/10/11 at 10:30 a.m. Pacific. I found four things that I think need to be edited, and I don't dare go into it right now as I'm not sure if you're totally finished with it. They are: 1) could you change "2005" to "2006" in the photo caption? 2) Footnote numbers 37 and 44 should read "Jon Michaels" and not "John Michaels; 3) Footnote #48 Should be "What's on the Pillow?" not "What' on the Pillow?"

Chzz: Thank you. I resent the email to 'photosubmission@wikimedia.org' and copied you on it. I put File: Andrea Accepting AwardCropped3.jpg in the subject line. I hope someone will let me know if it is not received this time. I sent it previously on February 9, 2011.
Regarding the photo, I believe that it was taken on January 5, 2006 because she won the award she is holding in the picture for an event she produced in 2005, and the 2005 is a typo. But we can just leave it if it's a problem.
Thanks again for all your help! Cmckibben ( talk) 20:19, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
How does somone make a new category of Wiki-person-type (like WikiPuppy etc.)?

Mostly though, remember it's just a bit of fun. People are unlikely to help with it much, bceause it doesn't help build the Encyclopaedia. A bit of fun is fine though - as long as it is harmless. See Wikipedia:Humor#Humor outside of articles. Chzz ► 16:15, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
Fun is good. Fun is necessary, or we all go stale. I shall go seek some suitable wikilinks (the prey/bite one is off-target, though - to a Wolfcub, it's the articles which are prey (typos, grammar, stubby things and so on). Thanks for your help, as usual - you're a star :o) ( ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 19:05, 15 February 2011 (UTC))
Ummmmmmmmm .... does that work? I added a load of wikilinks, and kinda pounced ......... I don't know how to make a shortcut, and tie up the other loose ends, either .....

Hi Chzz, thanks again for your great comments at the 12 Gauge FAC. I was excited at the process, but the whole thing just sort of seemed to get "passed over" by the majority of reviewers. So I may run the article through a peer review and bring it back to FAC in the future. I hope you'll be able to take a look at it if-and-when I do! Otherwise, what comments I got I think already improved the article greatly. – Kerαunoςcopia◁ galaxies 20:29, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

"But in practice not everything need actually be attributed." WIKI guidelines.
I think you have overreacted in your editing of my article. The facts are all contained in the literature cited, and there is nothing contentious unless indicated in the text.
As edited by you the article becomes useless.
Hope you will take the time to look at the article and grasp my point.

Perhaps I could give you an example: In the article about "Golden Retrivers" the history of these dogs is quite properly foot-noted as there could be some doubt or other opinions about their origins.
But under the section Grooming, it is not felt necessary to mention that they are hairy beasts that take a lot of grooming. This a matter of observed and non-contentious fact (I used to own one!), and it would be pedantic to try and foot-note it.
Similarly, it would be pedantic to foot-note that the Tang Dynasty issued such and such a coin, which is a historical fact, well know to Chinese historians, and Chinese coin fans.
On the early issues, where the facts are not quite so clear, there are foot-notes to indicate this.

Thank you for your detailed advice regarding my article on The Jones Sewing Machine Company. I very much appreciate the time you spent on this and I shall address all the points as soon as I can.

Hello Chzz, I was referred to you from Tkotc...
On an interesting developing company that is challenging the status quo. There are a lot of articles about them, but are 'blog-like'. I think there is a balanced way of writing this article, referencing 'good' blog-like sources. And of course fcc ex-parte filings, the legal case documents, etc. But 'the main corporate information' is mostly from blog-like sources... Could you provide any advice?

Hi Chzz, Thank you for your edits in the Festival of Light Australia page - I've been trying to ask Users to look over requested edits for some time but with no luck. I've made a few more changes so please feel free to look over those as well. Kind regards, NWAnonymous ( talk) 00:27, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
In the article on London it is stated:
"London ( /ˈlʌndən/) is the capital of England and the United Kingdom,"
But there is no citation for this. I am sure you will want to correct such a serious breach of Wiki policies and start a discussion group on the subject

Thaks for the info on citing references - I actually managed to achieve it! (See Dartmoor Pony) ( ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 15:51, 18 February 2011 (UTC))
Cheers! I haven't yet worked out how to make one reference thingy cited in several places, so I have at the moment three duplicate reference sources (same book, same page). Can you please (a) fix, and (b) tell me how to fix in future so I don;t do it again? ( ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 16:29, 18 February 2011 (UTC))
Ta! Is that enough citations to be OK now? ( ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 18:10, 18 February 2011 (UTC))
Dartmoors ponies are native to Britain, but today are also seen in other parts of the world. where? They are often used as a foundation breeding stock for the Riding Pony. who? The breed makes an ideal peacock prose children’s mount, but it is also quite capable of carrying an adult. who? With their natural jump and good movement, neutrality is disputed they are used for hunting, showing, and jumping, citation needed and are also excellent neutrality is disputed driving ponies.
I could probably drag up some references to other parts of the world, if I wasn't so knackered, lol! I may come back to that one. I think if someone were prepared to trawl through the BSPS (British Show Pony Society) records of show-type Riding Pony pedigrees, it would be possible to show Dartmoor ancestry in many of them - but I don't have access to the pedigrees of everything registered since the year dot with the BSPS, lol! Not sure how to get over the peacocky bit, as it's 'common knowledge' amongst pony people. Dartmoor have carried adults for centuries, they were the Dartmoor farmers' standard working pony, expected to do everything asked of them. Similar to the New Forest ponies, which are regularly ridden by adults. (I expect there might be some show results recprds somewhere showing that pony x ridden in championship y was ridden by an adult, but is it worth it?) Again, with access to competition records one could show that Dartmoors jump as well as do 'showing', and the locals around the moor certainly do hunt on them (would one have to go to the local hunt's records to prove it? Not sure if that would even be possible, as it would be original research anyway - unless Horse and Hound has featured someone hunting on a Dartmoor!) British Driving Society records of competitions might show Dartmoor ponies getting placed or winning in competitions - but mostly these things aren't published, or at least are darned hard to track down.
Thanks again for all your help; I really do appreciate it. ( ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 20:47, 18 February 2011 (UTC))

Done a couple more fixes and citations. The 'Little news article' was the Dartmoor Pony which got Champion Mountain and Moorland Pony at the Horse of the Year Show, lol! (Just a small bit of news ...) Can't find anything on Dartmoors hunting - but media don't like to link themselves with hunting (even though it's drag-hunting nowadays), so not really surprising!( ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 09:53, 20 February 2011 (UTC))

Dear, sweet (kind, handsome .. etc.) Chzz, lol! Having spent all day since stupid o'clock dragging together sufficient adequate citations to back up a couple of bijou factettes I've known for ages re Exmoor ponies and transportation, I now have only a minor challenge left in that I can't get the refs to display nicely. The more I look at the stuff in the edit window, the more my brain says "No, sha'n't!" about trying to fix the citations. (I have got to the point where about all I'm seeing is a screen full of 'word salad'!) Could you please tidy it and make it look nice for me? Many thanks!
