Hi Accents, I am Daibangftu. I am updating the information for the topic LienVietPostBank as they are updating their annual reports. I have changed a lot of information as I would like to reorganize the structure of the article. I also replaced the old information with the newly updated information so there are a number of changes.
Could you kindly keep changes with the article because I did a lot work with the article. Reverting the old information could make my contributive work wasteful.
Thank you so much!
Hey, I'm just adding some details from the sources to make the article more accurate. EllenPao ( talk) 10:54, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Accent - I am allgeneral. What is it that is not constructive about a hindu Matang community for you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allgeneral ( talk • contribs) 11:24, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Accent! Mmmm, well, I think you are right. I have to agree with you on that one, and it's not a mistake at all. I am glad to find out that you're open-minded. :) Best regards from "The Land of the Pharaohs". :)
Hello Elee! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me, I truly appreciate your assistance. Nice new name, by the way! :) BEST REGARDS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BiKaz ( talk • contribs) 00:10, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi Accents, I do not see what is not "constructive" about a statement that is to this day debated. The UK never made an official claim on Sealand which is why the whole subject is under debate. The statement of Sealand not being grandfathered in has no citation and seem more of a bias statement as both sides have their valid arguements. From the "Creating your own country" documentary, Danny Wallace calls the British embassy to inquire whether Sealand was itself a nation or not to which they were unable to give an answer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.255.35.185 ( talk) 14:49, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much for reviewing the Stormy Atmosphere draft! I know it takes lots of time and work to review drafts and decide whether they should become articles or not. I really appreciate it. I'm so glad that this draft was approved because Silverray123 had been working on it forever, and then I put a huge effort into it, too! All the best, Dontreader ( talk) 19:02, 15 June 2015 (UTC) |
Dear Accents
I am extremely disappointed with the quality of your review for the article /info/en/?search=Draft:Kavuri_Venkaiah. I will appreciate if you would provide specific sections/paragraphs/lines about each of your comments.
This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article.
Since you are the only reviewer I would like you to be specific.
Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format.
Please point where it needs to be writing in encyclopedic format.
Please make sure to avoid peacock terms, that are designed to promote or show-off the subject. As far as I know there are no peacock terms and I don't agree with you at any cost. The Article was rewritten from a book which is already cited. If you want a copy I can send that to you.

Thank you for reviewing my article on the Honorary Fellows of St John's College, Cambridge, which was now complete in its list of those still alive. I still donut understand why this has been refused when essentially identical articles on the ten of the other colleges have been accepted -viz.: /info/en/?search=Category:Lists_of_Honorary_Fellows_of_colleges_of_the_University_of_Cambridge Maybe you weren't aware of the articles when you reviewed, but it is seems obvious that if this article is declined the other ten should be deleted at the same time. My intention is to help Wikipedia by starting similar lists on the other (21) colleges when time allows, but such capricious inconsistency calls into question whether it's worth bothering with Wikipedia. It l is not so much disappointing, as mystifying, demotivating and serving to undermine one's confidence in the management of the whole Wikipedia process.

Review of draft page-See through graphics
Hi Accents Thanks for your review of the page. I am not the most natural writer and I struggle to tell the difference between encyclopedic and essay writing. Please can you give me a couple of examples of where I have strayed. These should give me a pointer to be able to review and change the rest. Thanks

Thanks for reviewing the draft about Draft:Sven_Voelpel. Could you please give the reason for declining and say what needs to be improved. User:Jaaron95 commented notabilty criteria of WP:NACADEMICS are not met and coverage by secondary reliable sources is low. Both issues have been substantially changed and improved.Your helpful advice is most welcome.

Good morning Elee,
Is there any chance you could be more specific on your comment that the "Article needs to be formatted properly"? This has not been picked up on previous reviews which leads me to think that I have missed something very silly. Apologies if this is the case.
Many Thanks,
Samirsoormally ( talk) 10:46, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
I contacted the help desk regarding your comment but this was the response:
Hi Samirsoormally, I'm afraid I don't see a serious formatting problem either. Perhaps Elee would explain the problem. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:56, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Can you please be specific about which particular statements contain "traces of informal phrasing, bordering advertisement level"? I have reread the entire text and cannot identify the traces to which you refer. Thanks.

Hi, I'm working to improve an AfC draft article you reviewed, Draft:William “Billy” Murphy, Jr.
As I've continued editing the article, I realized that I'm not sure if your concerns were about the independence of the sources or the notability of the subject (though I realize that the two are interrelated). So far, I've tried to add additional citations to independent reliable sources about Murphy: the original version had used a number of independent sources, but also e.g. used his bio at his law firm as a source for biographical details. At this point all but 2 of the 21 sources and counting are independent of Murphy, and almost all of the facts are confirmed with at least one independent source.
However, I realized that you might have had other concerns about notability, aside from the independence of the sources. If so, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know what those concerns were. Hopefully the addition of further independent sources covering a broad period of time helps with whatever that may be, but if you had more concrete concerns, I'd love to address them directly.
Thanks!

I responded to the previous comment (by another editor) by changing the introductory paragraph (but was told to leave the comment). Admittedly this is an unusual parish with a complex history, so how do you suggest I clarify? Should I explain in a longer introduction the complexity that follows, or should I cut the article into small sections each with a limited topic, or say less about some of the people/topics mentioned? I have tried all of these in my editing just now, but the matter is so familiar to me that I can't see it with "fresh eyes". Your specific suggestions would be appreciated.
