Hello Dori,
As you may have probably realised by my article, I'm new. I was wondering if you'd like to perfectionise it? I don't know who else I should ask for this. If so, thank you! x — Preceding unsigned comment added by SeeminglySubdued ( talk • contribs) 08:25, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Not surprisingly, your PROD of Manit Dani was removed without explanation by an IP (as well as the maintenance tags again). I have restored the tags, and nominated the article for AfD, as I agree with the reasons for your proposed deletion. Singularity42 ( talk) 10:26, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Dear DoriSmith, I have tried to resolve the 3 tagged criticism at the top of this article by: adding citations to reliable sources (thereby resolving the 1st and 2nd issues); and re-writing some of the embedded lists in prose and expanding on the article’s main points (thereby resolving the 3rd issue). I explained this in the article's talk section and invited discussion. I am not sure of the protocols here, but I wondered if you would perhaps 'referee' these intended improvements and adjudicate as to whether the criticisms have been resolved (if so, can you please remove the tags?). If this is not the way this is handled, would you please advise me what is the proper next step. Very best wishes. Paul Hansen Paulwizard ( talk) 12:54, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

I recommend that you either find verifiable and reliable independent third party sources with significant coverage, or request that the article be deleted. Of course, that's assuming that you aren't affiliated with the band; if you are, you shouldn't be touching the article at all (per WP:COI). Dori ☾ Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 21:34, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Dori! I came upon your response to a helpme request at User talk:RobertNesbit#Help request, where you gave WP:Peer review as a viable option for the user to seek initial review of his stub. Peer review is for high-quality articles that have already undergone extensive work, often as a way of preparing an article to become a featured article candidate. I didn't want to simply post there that the advice you gave was incorrect and that if he followed it, and posted to WP:PR, it would be rejected out of hand (as it would be), but at the same time I feel some duty to not leave that advice for a beginning user in place. So I came here hoping that by informing you of the issue you'd go make a change to your post. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 05:25, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I wanted to let you know that I challenged your WP:CSD A7 on Sarvesh Tripathi 'Kavya'. In my opinion, being nominated for notable awards such as Saraswati Samman and Vyas Samman is a claim of importance sufficient to survive criteria A7. Without more, it doesn't establish notability, but the question of notability should be establish via either WP:PROD or WP:AFD. I have no objection if you would like to pursue either of those options on the article. Monty 845 23:25, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I am the page maintenance person for the Wikipedia entry Malcolm Mejin. There is a proposal to remove the page, even though it is substantiated with references and links and some verifiable sources, with NST (a reputable online newspaper) as a back-up.

Just because you're creating an article for a class doesn't mean that the article doesn't have to abide by Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and this one didn't.
Based on your edit history, it's clear that you know how to edit in your sandbox—do that, and then move it into mainspace when it's ready to be seen by the public. Dori ☾ Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 23:18, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
Why did you remove the external link to Dr. James Lowson's description in the 1892 Edinburgh Medical Journal of his personal experience drowning? Why you consider that a conflict of interest? I don't treat people and there is no advertising on the site.
As a medical doctor who experienced first hand the effects of drowning, I think his perspective is valuable and of aid to both the people who experience drowning first hand and those who treat them.
Also as a fairly new contributor to Wikipedia perhaps you can guide me.

The article List of serving utensils has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on List of serving utensils requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mdann52 ( talk) 10:10, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Hey DoriSmith --
The article in question is sourced to at least 1 ISBN Published work as well as the bio written by the subject himself and published on his corporate website. He's a fascinating man about whom an Biography is being compiled by an acquaintance of mine.
Obviously it still needs some formatting work, and will continue to expand as my friend gets more source material, but according to Wikipedia's policies 1 source seems to be sufficient. Hence the articles creation.
Is there something you took particular issue with? I'd appreciate the feedback, obviously this is my first Wikipedia article, but I did try to follow the guidelines.

A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
• If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.
• Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.
Dori, the page that you pointed out as being a completely blank Article for Submission is actually the Talk Page for my as-yet unaccepted Delivery (weapons) article.
Wikipedia doesn't seem to have any obvious, directly-supported way to create a Talk Page for an article that has not yet been accepted. While I did manage to figure out how to create one, as a result of a bug, that Talk Page itself got submitted for review as a proposed new article.
Now granted I just spattered Wikipedia's brains all over the wall, but really, Articles for Creation really ought to be able to have Talk Pages before they are accepted.
I still don't know all the ropes here at Wikipedia. One might reasonably argue that I'm requesting a feature, but I regard the lack of Article for creation Talk Pages as a User Interface Bug. What's the procedure fr reporting it?
Thanks for your help. - MichaelCrawford 50.131.200.103 ( talk) 04:48, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Some elevate pinball to a religion, with a structured church. Been there, done that.
Some realize, sooner or later, that pinball is just a game, and is played by some seriously shady characters.

Just because you're creating an article for a class doesn't mean that the article doesn't have to abide by Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and this one didn't.
Based on your edit history, it's clear that you know how to edit in your sandbox—do that, and then move it into mainspace when it's ready to be seen by the public. Dori ☾ Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 23:18, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
Why did you remove the external link to Dr. James Lowson's description in the 1892 Edinburgh Medical Journal of his personal experience drowning? Why you consider that a conflict of interest? I don't treat people and there is no advertising on the site.
As a medical doctor who experienced first hand the effects of drowning, I think his perspective is valuable and of aid to both the people who experience drowning first hand and those who treat them.
Also as a fairly new contributor to Wikipedia perhaps you can guide me.

The article List of serving utensils has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on List of serving utensils requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mdann52 ( talk) 10:10, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

hello, In article Farshid you changed the gender from male to both,I don't think when there is only one female that is named so(and I don't know How on Earth?!!) should be changed to both. Farshid7 ( talk) 21:34, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Hey DoriSmith --
The article in question is sourced to at least 1 ISBN Published work as well as the bio written by the subject himself and published on his corporate website. He's a fascinating man about whom an Biography is being compiled by an acquaintance of mine.
Obviously it still needs some formatting work, and will continue to expand as my friend gets more source material, but according to Wikipedia's policies 1 source seems to be sufficient. Hence the articles creation.
Is there something you took particular issue with? I'd appreciate the feedback, obviously this is my first Wikipedia article, but I did try to follow the guidelines.

A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
• If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.
• Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.
Dori, the page that you pointed out as being a completely blank Article for Submission is actually the Talk Page for my as-yet unaccepted Delivery (weapons) article.
Wikipedia doesn't seem to have any obvious, directly-supported way to create a Talk Page for an article that has not yet been accepted. While I did manage to figure out how to create one, as a result of a bug, that Talk Page itself got submitted for review as a proposed new article.
Now granted I just spattered Wikipedia's brains all over the wall, but really, Articles for Creation really ought to be able to have Talk Pages before they are accepted.
I still don't know all the ropes here at Wikipedia. One might reasonably argue that I'm requesting a feature, but I regard the lack of Article for creation Talk Pages as a User Interface Bug. What's the procedure fr reporting it?
Thanks for your help. - MichaelCrawford 50.131.200.103 ( talk) 04:48, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello DoriSmith. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Talk:Cbehave, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not valid G8 as it is not an orphan page. Thank you. Alexf (talk) 11:48, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Most of you are well educated, with deep philosophies. Pete Townshend works for me.
Some elevate pinball to a religion, with a structured church. Been there, done that.
Some realize, sooner or later, that pinball is just a game, and is played by some seriously shady characters.
The numbers changed, I got bored. They will again, as will I.
Later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.36.25.10 ( talk) 12:03, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
