Hi Excirial. First, I want to say thank you, for your time. And Happy New Year! I've made some changes on my article and I want to know if they meet the guidelines regarding Reliable Sources. Kind regards, Zoe. Zoepe ( talk) 21:18, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi, first of all happy new year! And of course, thank you for reviewing my first (ever!) created Wikipedia page.
You have mentioned that most of the sources do not mention Entertainment Media Research. This is not true, as I specifically selected articles that specifically mention EMR. People and publications often tend to quote research but not the people who did it! The references I used all mention Entertainment Media Research.
Here's the list with more detail:
1. The Guardian Newspaper: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/oct/13/netmusic-musicindustry "Entertainment Media Research" is mentioned in paragraph 2, line 3 as well as in paragraph 6, line 4. In fact the whole article in the paper is about EMR and EMR's research.
2. Music Week: http://www.musicweek.com/news/read/future-of-cd-safe-thanks-to-downloading/026964 "Entertainment Media Research" is mentioned in paragraph 2, line 1 and paragraph 4, line one. Again the entire article is about EMR and the work they do.
3. Another article on Music Week: http://www.musicweek.com/news/read/pirates-could-be-subscribers-claims-report/042700 "Entertainment Media Research" is mentioned in paragraph 1, line one and paragraph 10, line 1. Again the entire article is about EMR and the work they do.
4. Music Tank (A serious site run by the University of Westminster who have a superb music faculty): http://www.musictank.co.uk/resources/speaker-biographies/russell-hart "Entertainment Media Research" and the CEO has earned a dedicated profile/bio page for their notable contribution of research to the music industry.
5. WPP: http://www.wpp.com/wpp/press/press/default.htm?guid=%7Bb36afd70-a29f-4148-a1fd-0450c08d121e%7D "Entertainment Media Research" is mentioned in paragraph 6.
6. I have included one of EMR's latest surveys as this material is used by university students for dissertations and other serious works. This is a major EMR's survey report and "Entertainment Media Research" is mentioned on page 2, page 4 and page 125 (see credits). I would have thought people on Wikipedia (particularly students and industry people) targeting the EMR page would have found this survey truly very useful.
7. Radaris: http://radaris.co.uk/p/Peter/Ruppert/ I quoted Radaris as it has a very comprehensive profile of the company and one of the major personalities behind the company. (I read the Wikipedia terms, and I understand we can't quote the official company site, hence I went for Radaris)
8. Rassami: http://www.rassami.com/snapshots.html "Entertainment Media Research" has its own section and its written about quite comprehensively. Starts on paragraph 9 from the top.
9. sk-kultur.de: http://www.sk-kultur.de/dancescreen99/english/e_pre_4e.htm - I have quoted this source because (although not very pretty), this seems like a serious site - from what I understand (I used Google translate), they work with government funded projects and subsidies and help artists with funding, research and support. I understand this is like a government/culture site, so it should be a very good reference. I quoted Peter Ruppert from this source who is the founder of EMR.
10. I also quoted Peter Ruppert's profile on Linked In as that has a very good Summery of Entertainment Media Research as well as the founder. However, I can remove this if this is deemed inappropriate.
The only mistake that I have done (just realised!) is with the reference of the Common Sense Media article, where they used "entertainment media" phrase a lot in their article and I got that confused with "Entertainment Media Research" name - I am happy to correct this by removing it.
I would've thought that most of the sources I used (including newspapers, universities and government sites) would be deemed as reputable sources. I have quoted research because that's what the company does - they provide research intelligence, and this reseach is used by academics and industry people throughout a very large portion of the world.
Like I mentioned at the beginning, this is my first post, and perhaps the referencing format is not perfect, and whatever else, but I don't mind learning how to fix that. I happy to learn how to edit Wikipedia and I would be happy to receive any guidance from you.
However, please do reconsider this submission as I have referenced reputable sources and they all mention Entertainment Media Research. The company is well known in the industry for providing insightful, useful and reputable research and universities encourage students to quote this research in their dissertations.
I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you for taking the time to read this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marijhaa ( talk • contribs) 12:50, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting my "test" word on the above. You beat me to the revert button. I just did that because there was a confusing message about the page being semi-protected and I didn't know if I could edit it or not. So I did a tiny test (which I was going to revert if successful). Thanks. Frenchmalawi ( talk) 20:23, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for creating this script! A couple of questions. First, shouldn't anyone appearing in the "Running Total" list below the leaderboard automatically be included? Also, the script seems to have a bug. I haven't counted anyone else's, but I've reviewed 31 articles, not 21. The script changed the number on the leaderboard. All the best, 78.26 ( I'm no IP, talk to me!) 22:28, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes, Why am I not on the leader board? at the time that the script ran, I had 40 reviews. Thanks,

Hi Excirial,
I saw that you deleted my page for a copyright violation, however I did reference that the page was a copied biography off the artist's facebook site, and included the link to it in the references section. Can you advise me on how to modify the page to not be deleted? Is there a writer/editor on Wikipedia who can rearrange the format to better serve that of Wikipedia pages?
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbandz ( talk • contribs) 21:14, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Excirial, Happy New Year! Thank you for your feedback on my article for submission. I have taken on board your feedback and think in hindsight I placed too much emphasis on the company's own website, therefore i can see why you thought it read too much like a promotional piece. I have also looked at another trade event, the World Travel Market, and taken some pointers from their wiki page. I have removed quotes, and some other references, which although factual, could be also seen as promotional. I hope this second attempt is an improvement and welcome any further pointers if not. Best regards and thanks for your work. Artur — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexarturWalsh ( talk • contribs) 18:09, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Just wondering...When a user manually puts an article under review, can the AFC Helper Script overwrite that? This is what seems to have happened here; I put the article under review (manually, of course) looked over it. Finding that it was not written in English, I went to decline it, but found that you already had. Please don't get me wrong, I don't really care that I didn't get the point; just wondering. -- Ja ko b 20:42, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
Hope you are well. The article I submitted for The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs (an academic journal) was not approved due to a lack of secondary sources. It is located here: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Fletcher_Forum_of_World_Affairs&oldid=531394070.

Thank you for approving and creating the page "Interband cascade lasers." I was wondering if you could change the title to "Interband cascade laser" (i.e. singular), but still have "en.wikipedia.../interband_cascade_lasers" redirect to the page. Thanks.
Dear, Excirial.
I find your action to deny my submission absolutely preposterous. Please, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Hyoryeong . They have submitted the same way, and they were able to submit their article and I cannot? Who sets the justice in Wikipedia? I find this unfair. There is scarce amount of English information to quote from about Grand Prince Royal Jinan. If you guys want to raise the bar, then you guys need to start translating the works of Korean documents yourselves. Please, accept my article as many more of Korean Princes’ articles have been successfully submitted this way.

Dear Excirial,
I'm asking (in good faith) in regard to my declined submission of an article dedicated to documenting a web-created sitcom, (The Vic & Helen Show.)
(At this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Vic_%26_Helen_Show)
I would first like to clarify that I am NOT the owner of said sitcom; I have been given permission by the owner (Richard Thripp) to write an unbiased and informative documentation of the series, for encyclopedic means. Wikipedia, in my opinion, is the best option there is.
I would also like to make known that I just turned 15, and am not much of a tech wiz. (My vocabulary is advanced, since my mother is an English teacher, but I digress.) I was, of course, disappointed in the rejection, especially since I had devoted at least 4 hours to writing, proofreading, and checking references for the cause.
To get to the point, I would like to kindly ask you how I was not specific in listing references. Why was this so? It is important in this case to note that there are really not several Web sources to get these references from. Given that the show being documented is relatively small, (absolutely NOT to say it isn't worth documenting,) the number of Web sources are limited to the actual website, ( http://vicandhelen.com/) and the YouTube channel, ( http://youtube.com/procommenter/) BOTH of which contain all information about the series, as posted by no less than the actual creator. Basically, what I am saying is that I see no reason why the references I gave did not seem credible. I am desperately asking for clarification! What could I have done better?
I would very much appreciate if you reconsider, or at least get back to me. I spent a lot of time and effort, devoted to this cause, as it is very important, and certainly noteworthy.
Thank you, very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing back from you. - JTProductionsWiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by JTProductionsWiki ( talk • contribs) 18:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Our little museum -Glenn Martin Museum- has been around for 20 years, but never had a wiki page. I have been thinking about doing one for 2 years. So I tried. I am on the board & a volunteer and I am trying to get a wiki page for the museum. The museum shows up RED in many other wiki pages. I have cited our web page, as many other small museums do. I am not sure what else you want to see as ref to prove we are a real museum. I plan to add pictures of our planes, but I wanted to get the basics up first. Maybe my format is wrong, not sure what else you need or want. Thanks! GLM789TC ( talk) 22:08, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
Dear, Wikipedia.
I am a Founder and CEO of The Korean Monarchy and the Korean Royal Armed Forces Korea Reunification Party. I had some real nasty interaction with Wikipedia administrator Qwyrxian. This user is abusing administrator power to block every single Wikipedia account that I am making. Please, unblock my capability to talk to other administrators. Please, help me. Also, he is destroying my article of Grand Prince Royal Jinan. If this user is blocking me because I have multiple accounts, then this user’s account should be blocked too because this user has multiple accounts. Following is a direct quote from Qwyrxian “I have created a second account, User:Quirksian, to be used for professional presentations about editing Wikipedia. It will edit only rarely, and will not have administrator status.”

Hi, Excirial.
After two passes, I wanted to know specifically what I can do to meet guidelines as just about everything I put was cited from sources such as Shape Magazine, the New York Times, Daily News and Huffington Post.

Hello Pratyya,
I noticed that Bonkers the Clown was reviewing your recent AFC contributions, and saw that he was marking a great amount of them as failed. As a result i decided to check a few myself to see what was going on, and having looked into this for a bit i cannot help but agree with his judgement.
I don't mean to be rude, but a whole lot of the reviews (The vast majority) is either declined under the incorrect category, or even plain wrong. Both bonkers and myself left commentary at your review page. May i request that you reviews those alongside the Reviewing instructions before continuing to review submissions?

Hi, You recently deleted an entire page that i created for our local football team. The reason given, that it was in breach of copyright, yet you failed to disclose what or who's copyright. I did not find a way to correct the issue, so the problem remains. Please, rather than deleting articles, give answers/help of what we can do to list the club on Wikipedia. Myself, and the rest of the team are very disappointed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AireAthletic ( talk • contribs) 19:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
An odd one. A small part of it was a copyvio - of what looked like someone else's site. The rest ought to have been a copyvio of their own site, but it didn't look like it. So I deleted it as spam, which was unmistakeable... Peridon ( talk) 19:21, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Copied from this talkpage Hiyas there Bonkers,
I noticed this diff which seems to be asking for AFCbuddy to generate your diffs. I also noticed you added your name to the list but removed yourself fairly soon afterwards. I was just wondering - do you want AFCBuddy to generate the diffs? Technically taken they are already generated for everyone, i am just not uploading them unless a user gives me permission to do so. If you want them automated, just give me a nudge, ill be happy to add them for you as well :) Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 15:53, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Just curious... :-)
I have been waiting expectantly since June 2012 for User:Mcm222 to finish his draft article "Phase-contrast X-ray imaging" so that I can link to it from Interferometry, an article of which I am principal author. So I've watched his article go from User:Mcm222/draft of article to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Phase-contrast X-ray imaging, then saw a history merge, then saw it moved to MediaWiki:Articles for creation/Phase-contrast X-ray imaging and now I see it once again as Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Phase-contrast X-ray imaging?
Is this some sort of staging area where the article has to undergo review or something? When will the article become simply Phase-contrast X-ray imaging?
In the past, whenever I've created a new article from scratch, I just copied it straight out of my sandbox into the main article namespace. I'm sure there are reasons for the elaborate dance that I'm seeing, but I can't figure out what they are... :-) Stigmatella aurantiaca ( talk) 10:23, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
Hey, Hope you are doing well. This is to ask you if can you please explain me the reason why the article have been deleted.

Obviously I've made a mistake for submitting this same artical twice, the original one should be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/RaykGlobal
As for the references, I wrote this article with a mere purpose to introduce an organization with the tag "RaykGlobal", therefore I would want to keep this article short and simple and easy to read, which led to the references to be a few. Much like this article (perhaps) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKB_Cases In the meantime I was hoping this would enrich the wiki China Business project, I would like to take more time to enhance the references in the future, but for now I deleted all the "top page references" as editer Danger informed.

I was declined an entry on wikipedia and would request another review. The topic was Aylestonians RFC which is an amateur rugby union club in Leicester England. At the moment the club is the only inner city club with its own ground and is trying to continue its development as well as acknowledge its history. The club has been established since 1921 and has had players that have helped to change the game over the years. I have included extra references and made minor changes. Also I do notice that other rugby union clubs from Leicestershire have Wikipedia pages and would find it extremely unfair if we were not allowed the same. Examples are Leicester Lions and Aylestone Athletic. Aylestonians are also mention on Leicester Storms page and Aylestone Athletics. This is my first article and have taken a lot of time to research and word it so that it looks professional and contains all the relevant information, but do recognize my in experience.

The awards refered too are internationaly recognised and the sources independent.

Hi Excirial,
This was my first post and I was shocked that it was rejected since it was 100% accurate. I don't know if I included the references correctly but I know that many articles use IMDB.com as well as AVN.com and in the case of Gary his shows are constantly airing on HBO/Cinemax and all of the other credits are accurate. If IMDB is not considered an accurate reference with respect to professional producers/directors then what is?

Dear Excirial,
You stated that the term appears to be coined by a company for a specific product. My point exactly! Their product "ibutton" is a thermochron, and they are clever enough to trademark the term thermochron. However, I believe the term is general enough to apply to any device which measures temperature and stores the information over time. Hence, the article, in encyclopedic fashion, describes the device "type". I agree that Maxim, having trademarked the term, is clever in protecting their interests. However the term will be generally available to the population at large, and I even thought it was strange that there was no such definition in the encyclopedia.
Take for example the term "computer" which describes a device which "computes." At some point, some company may have tried to trademark or copyright that term, and in today's legalistic environment, they may just be allowed to do it. I think the term "thermochron" is general enough to be relevant in any discussion over the measurement of temperature, same as the term "parachute" would be to describe skydiving, as it's derived from other words. Should we wait until the trademark expires to explain to the populous what "thermochron" means?
Thanks for your patience and review.

I am preparing the page on behalf of the Institute and its executive director, Kelvin Long, and its important to me that I get this right As evidence of my previous (modest) contribution to Wikipedia please look at - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Computer_Science - which I originated and has had subsequent contributions from distinguished computer scientists including - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_T._Kirstein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Coulouris_(computer_scientist) Hope you can help, John — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jid ( talk • contribs) 18:45, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Excirial I'll produce a new and succinct draft with zero quotation of other sites. I'll then leave it to others to expand Jid ( talk) 08:26, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Dear Excirial, Following your advice, I've included the ISSN of the periodical publication where appears reliable information regarding Rank Uiller. Please, could you review that? After that, I appreciate any word from you. Thanks. Kind regards, Zoe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoepe ( talk • contribs) 20:20, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Excirial. First, I want to say thank you, for your time. And Happy New Year! I've made some changes on my article and I want to know if they meet the guidelines regarding Reliable Sources. Kind regards, Zoe. Zoepe ( talk) 21:18, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi, first of all happy new year! And of course, thank you for reviewing my first (ever!) created Wikipedia page.
You have mentioned that most of the sources do not mention Entertainment Media Research. This is not true, as I specifically selected articles that specifically mention EMR. People and publications often tend to quote research but not the people who did it! The references I used all mention Entertainment Media Research.
Here's the list with more detail:
1. The Guardian Newspaper: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/oct/13/netmusic-musicindustry "Entertainment Media Research" is mentioned in paragraph 2, line 3 as well as in paragraph 6, line 4. In fact the whole article in the paper is about EMR and EMR's research.
2. Music Week: http://www.musicweek.com/news/read/future-of-cd-safe-thanks-to-downloading/026964 "Entertainment Media Research" is mentioned in paragraph 2, line 1 and paragraph 4, line one. Again the entire article is about EMR and the work they do.
3. Another article on Music Week: http://www.musicweek.com/news/read/pirates-could-be-subscribers-claims-report/042700 "Entertainment Media Research" is mentioned in paragraph 1, line one and paragraph 10, line 1. Again the entire article is about EMR and the work they do.
4. Music Tank (A serious site run by the University of Westminster who have a superb music faculty): http://www.musictank.co.uk/resources/speaker-biographies/russell-hart "Entertainment Media Research" and the CEO has earned a dedicated profile/bio page for their notable contribution of research to the music industry.
5. WPP: http://www.wpp.com/wpp/press/press/default.htm?guid=%7Bb36afd70-a29f-4148-a1fd-0450c08d121e%7D "Entertainment Media Research" is mentioned in paragraph 6.
6. I have included one of EMR's latest surveys as this material is used by university students for dissertations and other serious works. This is a major EMR's survey report and "Entertainment Media Research" is mentioned on page 2, page 4 and page 125 (see credits). I would have thought people on Wikipedia (particularly students and industry people) targeting the EMR page would have found this survey truly very useful.
7. Radaris: http://radaris.co.uk/p/Peter/Ruppert/ I quoted Radaris as it has a very comprehensive profile of the company and one of the major personalities behind the company. (I read the Wikipedia terms, and I understand we can't quote the official company site, hence I went for Radaris)
8. Rassami: http://www.rassami.com/snapshots.html "Entertainment Media Research" has its own section and its written about quite comprehensively. Starts on paragraph 9 from the top.
9. sk-kultur.de: http://www.sk-kultur.de/dancescreen99/english/e_pre_4e.htm - I have quoted this source because (although not very pretty), this seems like a serious site - from what I understand (I used Google translate), they work with government funded projects and subsidies and help artists with funding, research and support. I understand this is like a government/culture site, so it should be a very good reference. I quoted Peter Ruppert from this source who is the founder of EMR.
10. I also quoted Peter Ruppert's profile on Linked In as that has a very good Summery of Entertainment Media Research as well as the founder. However, I can remove this if this is deemed inappropriate.
The only mistake that I have done (just realised!) is with the reference of the Common Sense Media article, where they used "entertainment media" phrase a lot in their article and I got that confused with "Entertainment Media Research" name - I am happy to correct this by removing it.
I would've thought that most of the sources I used (including newspapers, universities and government sites) would be deemed as reputable sources. I have quoted research because that's what the company does - they provide research intelligence, and this reseach is used by academics and industry people throughout a very large portion of the world.
Like I mentioned at the beginning, this is my first post, and perhaps the referencing format is not perfect, and whatever else, but I don't mind learning how to fix that. I happy to learn how to edit Wikipedia and I would be happy to receive any guidance from you.
However, please do reconsider this submission as I have referenced reputable sources and they all mention Entertainment Media Research. The company is well known in the industry for providing insightful, useful and reputable research and universities encourage students to quote this research in their dissertations.
I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you for taking the time to read this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marijhaa ( talk • contribs) 12:50, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting my "test" word on the above. You beat me to the revert button. I just did that because there was a confusing message about the page being semi-protected and I didn't know if I could edit it or not. So I did a tiny test (which I was going to revert if successful). Thanks. Frenchmalawi ( talk) 20:23, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for creating this script! A couple of questions. First, shouldn't anyone appearing in the "Running Total" list below the leaderboard automatically be included? Also, the script seems to have a bug. I haven't counted anyone else's, but I've reviewed 31 articles, not 21. The script changed the number on the leaderboard. All the best, 78.26 ( I'm no IP, talk to me!) 22:28, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes, Why am I not on the leader board? at the time that the script ran, I had 40 reviews. Thanks,

Hi Excirial,
I saw that you deleted my page for a copyright violation, however I did reference that the page was a copied biography off the artist's facebook site, and included the link to it in the references section. Can you advise me on how to modify the page to not be deleted? Is there a writer/editor on Wikipedia who can rearrange the format to better serve that of Wikipedia pages?
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbandz ( talk • contribs) 21:14, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Excirial, Happy New Year! Thank you for your feedback on my article for submission. I have taken on board your feedback and think in hindsight I placed too much emphasis on the company's own website, therefore i can see why you thought it read too much like a promotional piece. I have also looked at another trade event, the World Travel Market, and taken some pointers from their wiki page. I have removed quotes, and some other references, which although factual, could be also seen as promotional. I hope this second attempt is an improvement and welcome any further pointers if not.

Just wondering...When a user manually puts an article under review, can the AFC Helper Script overwrite that? This is what seems to have happened here; I put the article under review (manually, of course) looked over it. Finding that it was not written in English, I went to decline it, but found that you already had. Please don't get me wrong, I don't really care that I didn't get the point; just wondering. -- Ja ko b 20:42, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for approving and creating the page "Interband cascade lasers." I was wondering if you could change the title to "Interband cascade laser" (i.e. singular), but still have "en.wikipedia.../interband_cascade_lasers" redirect to the page. Thanks.
Dear, Excirial.
I find your action to deny my submission absolutely preposterous. Please, take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Hyoryeong . They have submitted the same way, and they were able to submit their article and I cannot? Who sets the justice in Wikipedia? I find this unfair. There is scarce amount of English information to quote from about Grand Prince Royal Jinan. If you guys want to raise the bar, then you guys need to start translating the works of Korean documents yourselves. Please, accept my article as many more of Korean Princes’ articles have been successfully submitted this way.

Dear Excirial,
I'm asking (in good faith) in regard to my declined submission of an article dedicated to documenting a web-created sitcom, (The Vic & Helen Show.)
(At this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Vic_%26_Helen_Show)
I would first like to clarify that I am NOT the owner of said sitcom; I have been given permission by the owner (Richard Thripp) to write an unbiased and informative documentation of the series, for encyclopedic means. Wikipedia, in my opinion, is the best option there is.
I would also like to make known that I just turned 15, and am not much of a tech wiz. (My vocabulary is advanced, since my mother is an English teacher, but I digress.) I was, of course, disappointed in the rejection, especially since I had devoted at least 4 hours to writing, proofreading, and checking references for the cause.
To get to the point, I would like to kindly ask you how I was not specific in listing references. Why was this so? It is important in this case to note that there are really not several Web sources to get these references from. Given that the show being documented is relatively small, (absolutely NOT to say it isn't worth documenting,) the number of Web sources are limited to the actual website, ( http://vicandhelen.com/) and the YouTube channel, ( http://youtube.com/procommenter/) BOTH of which contain all information about the series, as posted by no less than the actual creator. Basically, what I am saying is that I see no reason why the references I gave did not seem credible. I am desperately asking for clarification! What could I have done better?
I would very much appreciate if you reconsider, or at least get back to me. I spent a lot of time and effort, devoted to this cause, as it is very important, and certainly noteworthy.
Thank you, very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing back from you. - JTProductionsWiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by JTProductionsWiki ( talk • contribs) 18:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Our little museum -Glenn Martin Museum- has been around for 20 years, but never had a wiki page. I have been thinking about doing one for 2 years. So I tried. I am on the board & a volunteer and I am trying to get a wiki page for the museum. The museum shows up RED in many other wiki pages. I have cited our web page, as many other small museums do. I am not sure what else you want to see as ref to prove we are a real museum. I plan to add pictures of our planes, but I wanted to get the basics up first. Maybe my format is wrong, not sure what else you need or want. Thanks! GLM789TC ( talk) 22:08, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
Dear, Wikipedia.
I am a Founder and CEO of The Korean Monarchy and the Korean Royal Armed Forces Korea Reunification Party. I had some real nasty interaction with Wikipedia administrator Qwyrxian. This user is abusing administrator power to block every single Wikipedia account that I am making. Please, unblock my capability to talk to other administrators. Please, help me. Also, he is destroying my article of Grand Prince Royal Jinan. If this user is blocking me because I have multiple accounts, then this user’s account should be blocked too because this user has multiple accounts. Following is a direct quote from Qwyrxian “I have created a second account, User:Quirksian, to be used for professional presentations about editing Wikipedia. It will edit only rarely, and will not have administrator status.”

Hi, Excirial.
After two passes, I wanted to know specifically what I can do to meet guidelines as just about everything I put was cited from sources such as Shape Magazine, the New York Times, Daily News and Huffington Post.

Hello Pratyya,
I noticed that Bonkers the Clown was reviewing your recent AFC contributions, and saw that he was marking a great amount of them as failed. As a result i decided to check a few myself to see what was going on, and having looked into this for a bit i cannot help but agree with his judgement.
I don't mean to be rude, but a whole lot of the reviews (The vast majority) is either declined under the incorrect category, or even plain wrong. Both bonkers and myself left commentary at your review page. May i request that you reviews those alongside the Reviewing instructions before continuing to review submissions?

Hi, You recently deleted an entire page that i created for our local football team. The reason given, that it was in breach of copyright, yet you failed to disclose what or who's copyright. I did not find a way to correct the issue, so the problem remains. Please, rather than deleting articles, give answers/help of what we can do to list the club on Wikipedia. Myself, and the rest of the team are very disappointed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AireAthletic ( talk • contribs) 19:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
An odd one. A small part of it was a copyvio - of what looked like someone else's site. The rest ought to have been a copyvio of their own site, but it didn't look like it. So I deleted it as spam, which was unmistakeable... Peridon ( talk) 19:21, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I noticed this diff which seems to be asking for AFCbuddy to generate your diffs. I also noticed you added your name to the list but removed yourself fairly soon afterwards. I was just wondering - do you want AFCBuddy to generate the diffs? Technically taken they are already generated for everyone, i am just not uploading them unless a user gives me permission to do so.

Just curious... :-)
I have been waiting expectantly since June 2012 for User:Mcm222 to finish his draft article "Phase-contrast X-ray imaging" so that I can link to it from Interferometry, an article of which I am principal author. So I've watched his article go from User:Mcm222/draft of article to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Phase-contrast X-ray imaging, then saw a history merge, then saw it moved to MediaWiki:Articles for creation/Phase-contrast X-ray imaging and now I see it once again as Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Phase-contrast X-ray imaging?
Is this some sort of staging area where the article has to undergo review or something? When will the article become simply Phase-contrast X-ray imaging?
In the past, whenever I've created a new article from scratch, I just copied it straight out of my sandbox into the main article namespace. I'm sure there are reasons for the elaborate dance that I'm seeing, but I can't figure out what they are... :-) Stigmatella aurantiaca ( talk) 10:23, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
Hey, Hope you are doing well. This is to ask you if can you please explain me the reason why the article have been deleted.

Obviously I've made a mistake for submitting this same artical twice, the original one should be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/RaykGlobal
As for the references, I wrote this article with a mere purpose to introduce an organization with the tag "RaykGlobal", therefore I would want to keep this article short and simple and easy to read, which led to the references to be a few. Much like this article (perhaps) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKB_Cases In the meantime I was hoping this would enrich the wiki China Business project, I would like to take more time to enhance the references in the future, but for now I deleted all the "top page references" as editer Danger informed.

I was declined an entry on wikipedia and would request another review. The topic was Aylestonians RFC which is an amateur rugby union club in Leicester England. At the moment the club is the only inner city club with its own ground and is trying to continue its development as well as acknowledge its history. The club has been established since 1921 and has had players that have helped to change the game over the years. I have included extra references and made minor changes. Also I do notice that other rugby union clubs from Leicestershire have Wikipedia pages and would find it extremely unfair if we were not allowed the same. Examples are Leicester Lions and Aylestone Athletic. Aylestonians are also mention on Leicester Storms page and Aylestone Athletics. This is my first article and have taken a lot of time to research and word it so that it looks professional and contains all the relevant information, but do recognize my in experience.

The awards refered too are internationaly recognised and the sources independent. I see there are many articles with fewer and less independant sources that are published on Wiki, indeed there is an article about a similarly sized poetry press 'Penned in the margins' which is published here with fewer and less prestigious citations.

Hi Excirial,
This was my first post and I was shocked that it was rejected since it was 100% accurate. I don't know if I included the references correctly but I know that many articles use IMDB.com as well as AVN.com and in the case of Gary his shows are constantly airing on HBO/Cinemax and all of the other credits are accurate. If IMDB is not considered an accurate reference with respect to professional producers/directors then what is?

Dear Excirial,
You stated that the term appears to be coined by a company for a specific product. My point exactly! Their product "ibutton" is a thermochron, and they are clever enough to trademark the term thermochron. However, I believe the term is general enough to apply to any device which measures temperature and stores the information over time. Hence, the article, in encyclopedic fashion, describes the device "type". I agree that Maxim, having trademarked the term, is clever in protecting their interests. However the term will be generally available to the population at large, and I even thought it was strange that there was no such definition in the encyclopedia.
Take for example the term "computer" which describes a device which "computes." At some point, some company may have tried to trademark or copyright that term, and in today's legalistic environment, they may just be allowed to do it. I think the term "thermochron" is general enough to be relevant in any discussion over the measurement of temperature, same as the term "parachute" would be to describe skydiving, as it's derived from other words. Should we wait until the trademark expires to explain to the populous what "thermochron" means?
Thanks for your patience and review.

Dear Editor I seem to have inadvertently violated someone's copyright in developing a new page - http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_institute_for_insterstellar_studies&action=edit&redlink=1 As the editor who spotted this, can you enlighten me as the nature of the violation. I am preparing the page on behalf of the Institute and its executive director, Kelvin Long, and its important to me that I get this right As evidence of my previous (modest) contribution to Wikipedia please look at - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Computer_Science - which I originated and has had subsequent contributions from distinguished computer scientists including - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_T._Kirstein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Coulouris_(computer_scientist) Hope you can help, John — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jid ( talk • contribs) 18:45, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Excirial I'll produce a new and succinct draft with zero quotation of other sites. I'll then leave it to others to expand Jid ( talk) 08:26, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Dear Excirial, Following your advice, I've included the ISSN of the periodical publication where appears reliable information regarding Rank Uiller. Please, could you review that? After that, I appreciate any word from you. Thanks. Kind regards, Zoe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoepe ( talk • contribs) 20:20, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
