I realize that this user made several mistakes, but I am willing to work with him towards helping him understand the wiki better and perhaps making it so he can be of use to the wiki. I understand and was TRYING to work with him before the block, but now that the situation is where it is, if he is willing, perhaps we can work something out with him? I firmly believe in second chances. Lets see if we can give him one? Andrew Wiggin ( talk) 22:52, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
A friend using my computer was making some changes to Wikipedia pages mainly regarding McDonald-Seer Computer Poll. He said it had been suggested for deletion and then said he was harassed by a user. The McDonald-Seer Computer Poll is an algorithmic sports ranking system developed in 2009. The poll and algorithm are owned by McDonald Sports Enterprises LLC, an Idaho based company. It has named three national champions and two quarterback of the year awards. It is published on a weekly basis at www.oncampussports.com/mcdonald and is currently working with a handful of billion dollar companies for future endeavors. Links were being added to update this page, so it could be viewed from past winners of both National Championships and Quarterback trophies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JasonRichers ( talk • contribs)
Did you place a speedy tag on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/A Man's World By Rachel Crothers,? You correctly declined it for not being supported by sources, but that is not a reason for speedy deletion. Obviously, the point of articles being there is so they can get advice for what is needed. Or did the software for AfC possibly put it on automatically when you selected that reason? If so, we'll need to do something about it. DGG ( talk ) 21:03, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi Excirial, Not so much a question as a reply. I'm new to Wikipedia, I made my first article on St Paul's University, Kenya; you declined it and I noted your comments on notability of an organisation. (Disclosure: I once taught there, though the article is my initiative solely.) I made some changes - two references to the Universities regulator in Kenya and St Paul's University itself, and a change to the article head to include 'Kenya'. I hope it meets the standards! Otherwise, thanks for the guidance. Travellor ( talk) 13:31, 10 February 2013 (UTC)Travellor.
hello Excirial,
As per your reviewing comment my article has lacking reference authenticate links. So I had edited the my article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Navin_Khanna) review page.

While the article you rejected was intended as a brief introduction to a more informative piece currently in the pipeline I'm wondering whether to give up now!? I was a pupil of Mayfield College in the 1960s-70s and am an active member of its alumnae via Facebook but being a defunct institution prior to the existence of the internet and no known books published on the school there is little or no physical documentation, other than photographs, Prize Day & School Play programmes, an occasional promotional pamphlet and a whole lot of collective memories from several thousand ex-pupils. How does one proceed in such a case? I have plenty of correct information, just no verifiable sources other than me. Fearless LeChien ( talk) 20:40, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi Excirial, You denied a page about the Finnish businessman Ilkka Tiainen I sent for approval earlier today due to notability. My question is: how well known internationally does a person have to be in order for him/her to have an article on his/hers own name on Wikipedia in English? Tiainen is well known here in Finland, for example all the major Finnish newpapers write about him. Thanks and cheers, Cillam78 ( talk) 12:33, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi Ecirial! I wrote a page about Ab aeterno wooden watches and it was said me that I have to add more references. I want to ask you which kind of information I should add because I allready inserted the brand official site and an article about it. it is also a registered brand and i think is a famous one. thank you very much!!Bye — Preceding unsigned comment added by SerenaCarletti ( talk • contribs) 16:16, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the information!
I have two more questions, is it right to add the number of the brand registration as a reference or isn't it iindependent?
the last one, before you answered I tried to make changes in the references but now I can't see them. I don't have clear how to change the text. what can I do now for changing the contents?
when i log in, in the "read" it says the article has not been accepted, then i go to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ab aeterno wooden watches and then i find the original article . should i change here again adding the right references?
thank you again!! — Preceding

Wow, that was fast! Thanks for the feedback. I've never tried submitting an article before on Wikipedia.
The current Wikipedia article on Helen Keller International has always included a link to the wrong George Kessler and this has bothered me for a while. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller_International
(Now the link has changed to reference my "non-existent" article, since apparently my edits on that page WERE accepted. But this is probably better than referring to the wrong George Kessler.)
The article I submitted initially is a translation and minor adaptation of one that is actually on the German Wikipedia site, which you can find here:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Kessler
George Kessler’s obituary in the New York Times may be one of the best general references, since it mentions his champagne business, his philanthropy, the Lusitania, and the famous “Gondola party.”
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB081FF9355511738DDDAD0994D1405B808EF1D3
The following links refer to the famous Savoy Hotel "Gondola party.”
http://www.historichotelsworldwide.com/hotels-resorts/savoy-london/history.php http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/heartthrob-hotel-savoy-puts-its-treasures-up-for-sale-765279.html http://www.everyonesanoriginal.com/post_detail/?contentid=7091694029226039438&blogid=8898601089039392198 http://books.google.com/books?id=H5mtS07Qu48C&pg=PA152&lpg=PA152&dq=george+kessler+savoy&source=bl&ots=62dxL1c74O&sig=LbipN5910fVlL Htzq6HUW5dHm0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=EpwaUaWsLNGsqAGx44DIDA&ved=0CFsQ6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q=george%20kessler%20savoy&f=false
A link to a drawing of the Gondola Party is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GondolaPartyatSavoy.JPG
The Savoy Hotel also owns the original copy of a "painted" or colorized photograph taken during the party of the King Of England, Enrico Caruso, and George and Cora (Parsons) Kessler in their archive collection. My brother and I also own copies of this photo, but I’m not sure where my copy is.
The following reference includes some additional information about the Lusitania:
http://www.rmslusitania.info/people/saloon/george-kessler/
Diana Preston’s book, “Lusitania: An Epic Disaster,” also includes some info about George Kessler, but I don’t have the exact page numbers in front of me.
I’m not sure where to include these references in the article, so I’d love to have your suggestions.
By the way, while we share the same last name, George Kessler is, unfortunately, a rather distant relative; a first cousin, 3 times removed. (He died long before I was born, and I certainly didn’t inherit any of his great fortune!!)
Thanks again and I look forward to your additional comments and suggestions,
Warm regards,

I am writing because the article I submitted - admittedly on myself - was rejected for lack of references. I am taken aback by this because I kept the facts to which I referred to academically published books and articles - in the public domain, with multiple references to them. In fact, I have a Google Scholars page (as well as pages by major book sellers) devoted to me, and that says that my work has close to 200 references. I do not know how to create references that would be suitable for Wikipedia! All I know is that when I Google myself, there are endless pages devoted to me and my work, both the books and articles I have written and the books I have edited. These are widely known and easily verifiable. Again, I don't know how to reference works that are published (by reputable publishers). I do assume good faith, and I am friendly, but frustrated. I see scholars in Wikipedia who are my juniors, whom I trained, who are quoting my work, who are published in the books I edited, et cetera. And while they may not have sent in their own Wikipedia articles, they had their graduate assistants, or significant others, or friends do so, as, again, they are junior to me. So, again, I am frustrated. And the process seems EXTREMELY complex, lengthy, and daunting. It seems to me about time I am in Wikipedia - I don't mean to be arrogant; I am not! I really need help. I hope that you can help me. Thank you! Jennifer M. Lehmann, Ph.D. jmlehmann@msn.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.69.66.120 ( talk) 06:17, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I am the PR chair for subject charity event. I am trying to get it explained on Wikipedia. I have submitted a description, but it has been refused I gather due to lack of notability proof.
This has been covered extensively in the press in the past year. I can certainly send directions for finding those articles. But I don't know how/where to do that. A google search will produce references. Most extensive is Laker Magazine, Sept/Oct 2012, readable at www.smithmountainlaker.com
Also, I saw something about not accepting items from an "organization" user name....do I have to set up a new account personally? That seems counterproductive, as the organization will live on beyond my direct involvement in posting on Wikipedia on its behalf. I am confused about what to do next!

Hi Excirial, thank you for the review. Airplanes (Avioane in Romanian) is a game played with pen and paper by school children during breaks, at parties, at gatherings etc. The game has been passed to us through previous generations, so one could consider it part of the Romanian folklore since it has been around for decades. How could I document folklore? Do I need to be an academician writing a paper on folklore? (a serious question - I do want to contribute to Wikipedia) There are no official rules or scholarly articles, but people throughout Romania play a couple of variations of the game, as you can see in the below links, all of them posted by different people. My assumption is that someone must have played the battleship game and improved it by using airplanes.
Assumptions aside, the following links are the closest things to "sources" that I could find (They are pages written in Romanian, mostly bloggers that reminisce back to the days where they used to play in school): http://www.latrecut.ro/2009/01/avioanele/ http://seintampla.info/jocurile-copilariei-recente-1/ http://jocurilecopilariei.blogspot.com/2009/12/biscuite-x-si-o-avioane-spanzuratoare.html http://www.activitaticopii.ro/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20 http://forum.softpedia.com/topic/777448-avionase/ http://iluminisme.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/avioanele-pe-hartie.jpg http://www.placerea-de-a-calatori.ro/2012/12/bruxelles-alaturi-de-bloggerul-preferat.html http://vimeo.com/50741579 http://wildhoney33.blogspot.com/2011/07/jocurile-copilariei-avioane.html

The introductory paragraph is far too long and complicated; it was almost an article in itself! This needs to be integrated into the article: Franklin is best known for her work on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA which led to the discovery of DNA double helix. Her data, according to Francis Crick, were "the data we actually used"[1] to formulate Crick and Watson's 1953 hypothesis regarding the structure of DNA.[2] Franklin's images of X-ray diffraction confirming the helical structure of DNA were shown to Watson without her approval or knowledge. Though this image and her accurate interpretation of the data provided valuable insight into the DNA structure, Franklin's scientific contributions to the discovery of the double helix are often overlooked. Unpublished drafts of her papers (written just as she was arranging to leave King's College London) show that she had independently determined the overall B-form of the DNA helix and the location of the phosphate groups on the outside of the structure. Moreover, Franklin personally told Crick and Watson that the backbones had to be on the outside, which was crucial since before this both they and Linus Pauling had independently generated non-illuminating models with the chains inside and the bases pointing outwards.[3] However, her work was published third, in the series of three DNA Nature articles, led by the paper of Watson and Crick which only hinted at her contribution to their hypothesis.[4]

Good Afternoon Excirial. There seems to be a mistake i see constantly within this article. I attempt to correct it but I am constantly deleted for "Vandalism". The Sons of Liberty are indeed by definition a terrorist group and i provided a strong definition to prove that to be so. Although it seems some of Wikipedia's editors minds are completely corrupted by American history teachers, i try to provide a more critical view on this subject. I believe people can be much more educated if they can see an issue from different perspectives. I hope that you will help stop these wrongful deletions and make Wikipedia a more educational place that helps spark critical thinking.

Dear editor,
I have just received notification about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clemmie_Moodie that the entry is being considered for deletion.
I am a complete beginner and would be grateful for any advice you could give me about how I should improve the entry to prevent deletion.
The comment is that all citations are primary and that secondary and tertiary citations are required.
Now I have looked at entries for other journalists and many seem to have many fewer primary citations let alone secondary citations than my entry.
I wonder if you could explain a little more about secondary citations and also I am not sure how you give a citation about date of birth; would you mind making a suggestion about this?
I am sorry if these questions sound naive but I am an old goger and a little baffled.
Many thanks

![]() | Bingo, entirely correct! That was the simplest solution i came up with; After all, why would there be a single and then a double - in a line if it wasn't a review (Hint: HTML Comments and oddball article titles). Either way, the Pass / Fail text criteria is now added, so AFCBuddy should scrub that comment section during its next run.

The same happens if you would change your browsers encoding to ISO-8859-1 as opposed to UTF-8 which is standard these days - in that case it would have similar issues representing these characters. I am not entirely sure why it chooses to defaults to Chinese characters in that case (Maybe my own systems locale plays a role), but it should be easy to fix by telling AFCBuddy to use the correct localization for these. Also quite amusing: If Google translate is correct it changes your username to "Rustic satisfied rybec" - i suppose that doesn't sound half bad for a bug result.

Dear Sir,
I have written an article about Indian Institute of Fire Engineering, Nagpur few times but it has been declined by you. Kindly let me know what else is required so that this article can be approved. The institute is genuine with it's website and approved by two government bodies 1. Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education and 2. Director of technical education.
Thanks and kind regards,

Yo Excirial, 1. can you set me up with AFCBuddy stats for the AFC drive, adding all the stats by hand is just too much.
2. if there is any change of sharing the .NET code - it would be a boost for one of the other project which requires parsing user contribs. Also if you know some other project which does that it would be great. Thanks BO | Talk 14:11, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Chewing gum?
Hey Mate...
A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing. You accused me of doing something to a chewing gum article/page? By IP address? My user name is Misterweiss. I don't do any changes/edits without it. I use Verizon Wireless Broadband via a USB modem for internet access - I have a different IP address every time I connect, like dial-up used to be. The only thing I can figure is someone else on Verizon did those changes, and today I happen to be on that IP address. If you check my history, you'll probably see a million different IP addresses in the last 5 years.
I understand you're using bots and such to check for vandalism, but it's quite obvious that it doesn't always work. You can't assume that someone always has the same IP address and accuse people of things.
I have no bloody interest in chewing gum anyway!
Thanks

Well in my editing I changed the authors name cause I will show you that the real authors name is Mark Allen Shouldice and not Mark Dice
These two links shows exactly that the author Mark Dice is really Mark Shouldice aka Mark Allen Shouldice The author also in 'your' edited version tells that Mark Dice wrote these two books which clearly estates in these links that the authors name is Mark Allen Shouldice. Mark Dice is just his username and not biographical name.

A friend using my computer was making some changes to Wikipedia pages mainly regarding McDonald-Seer Computer Poll. He said it had been suggested for deletion and then said he was harassed by a user. The McDonald-Seer Computer Poll is an algorithmic sports ranking system developed in 2009. The poll and algorithm are owned by McDonald Sports Enterprises LLC, an Idaho based company. It has named three national champions and two quarterback of the year awards. It is published on a weekly basis at www.oncampussports.com/mcdonald and is currently working with a handful of billion dollar companies for future endeavors. Links were being added to update this page, so it could be viewed from past winners of both National Championships and Quarterback trophies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JasonRichers ( talk • contribs)
Did you place a speedy tag on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/A Man's World By Rachel Crothers,? You correctly declined it for not being supported by sources, but that is not a reason for speedy deletion. Obviously, the point of articles being there is so they can get advice for what is needed. Or did the software for AfC possibly put it on automatically when you selected that reason? If so, we'll need to do something about it. DGG ( talk ) 21:03, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

While the article you rejected was intended as a brief introduction to a more informative piece currently in the pipeline I'm wondering whether to give up now!? I was a pupil of Mayfield College in the 1960s-70s and am an active member of its alumnae via Facebook but being a defunct institution prior to the existence of the internet and no known books published on the school there is little or no physical documentation, other than photographs, Prize Day & School Play programmes, an occasional promotional pamphlet and a whole lot of collective memories from several thousand ex-pupils. How does one proceed in such a case? I have plenty of correct information, just no verifiable sources other than me. Fearless LeChien ( talk) 20:40, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Wow, that was fast! Thanks for the feedback. I've never tried submitting an article before on Wikipedia.
The current Wikipedia article on Helen Keller International has always included a link to the wrong George Kessler and this has bothered me for a while. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Keller_International
(Now the link has changed to reference my "non-existent" article, since apparently my edits on that page WERE accepted. But this is probably better than referring to the wrong George Kessler.)
The article I submitted initially is a translation and minor adaptation of one that is actually on the German Wikipedia site, which you can find here:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Kessler
George Kessler’s obituary in the New York Times may be one of the best general references, since it mentions his champagne business, his philanthropy, the Lusitania, and the famous “Gondola party.”
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB081FF9355511738DDDAD0994D1405B808EF1D3
The following links refer to the famous Savoy Hotel "Gondola party.”
http://www.historichotelsworldwide.com/hotels-resorts/savoy-london/history.php http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/heartthrob-hotel-savoy-puts-its-treasures-up-for-sale-765279.html http://www.everyonesanoriginal.com/post_detail/?contentid=7091694029226039438&blogid=8898601089039392198 http://books.google.com/books?id=H5mtS07Qu48C&pg=PA152&lpg=PA152&dq=george+kessler+savoy&source=bl&ots=62dxL1c74O&sig=LbipN5910fVlL Htzq6HUW5dHm0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=EpwaUaWsLNGsqAGx44DIDA&ved=0CFsQ6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q=george%20kessler%20savoy&f=false
A link to a drawing of the Gondola Party is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GondolaPartyatSavoy.JPG
The Savoy Hotel also owns the original copy of a "painted" or colorized photograph taken during the party of the King Of England, Enrico Caruso, and George and Cora (Parsons) Kessler in their archive collection. My brother and I also own copies of this photo, but I’m not sure where my copy is.
The following reference includes some additional information about the Lusitania:
http://www.rmslusitania.info/people/saloon/george-kessler/
Diana Preston’s book, “Lusitania: An Epic Disaster,” also includes some info about George Kessler, but I don’t have the exact page numbers in front of me.
I’m not sure where to include these references in the article, so I’d love to have your suggestions.
By the way, while we share the same last name, George Kessler is, unfortunately, a rather distant relative; a first cousin, 3 times removed. (He died long before I was born, and I certainly didn’t inherit any of his great fortune!!)
Thanks again and I look forward to your additional comments and suggestions,
Warm regards,

I am writing because the article I submitted - admittedly on myself - was rejected for lack of references. I am taken aback by this because I kept the facts to which I referred to academically published books and articles - in the public domain, with multiple references to them. In fact, I have a Google Scholars page (as well as pages by major book sellers) devoted to me, and that says that my work has close to 200 references. I do not know how to create references that would be suitable for Wikipedia! All I know is that when I Google myself, there are endless pages devoted to me and my work, both the books and articles I have written and the books I have edited. These are widely known and easily verifiable. Again, I don't know how to reference works that are published (by reputable publishers). I do assume good faith, and I am friendly, but frustrated. I see scholars in Wikipedia who are my juniors, whom I trained, who are quoting my work, who are published in the books I edited, et cetera. And while they may not have sent in their own Wikipedia articles, they had their graduate assistants, or significant others, or friends do so, as, again, they are junior to me. So, again, I am frustrated. And the process seems EXTREMELY complex, lengthy, and daunting. It seems to me about time I am in Wikipedia - I don't mean to be arrogant; I am not! I really need help. I hope that you can help me. Thank you! Jennifer M. Lehmann, Ph.D. jmlehmann@msn.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.69.66.120 ( talk) 06:17, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I am the PR chair for subject charity event. I am trying to get it explained on Wikipedia. I have submitted a description, but it has been refused I gather due to lack of notability proof.
This has been covered extensively in the press in the past year. I can certainly send directions for finding those articles. But I don't know how/where to do that. A google search will produce references. Most extensive is Laker Magazine, Sept/Oct 2012, readable at www.smithmountainlaker.com
Also, I saw something about not accepting items from an "organization" user name....do I have to set up a new account personally?

Hi Excirial, thank you for the review. Airplanes (Avioane in Romanian) is a game played with pen and paper by school children during breaks, at parties, at gatherings etc. The game has been passed to us through previous generations, so one could consider it part of the Romanian folklore since it has been around for decades. How could I document folklore? Do I need to be an academician writing a paper on folklore? (a serious question - I do want to contribute to Wikipedia) There are no official rules or scholarly articles, but people throughout Romania play a couple of variations of the game, as you can see in the below links, all of them posted by different people. My assumption is that someone must have played the battleship game and improved it by using airplanes.
Assumptions aside, the following links are the closest things to "sources" that I could find (They are pages written in Romanian, mostly bloggers that reminisce back to the days where they used to play in school): http://www.latrecut.ro/2009/01/avioanele/ http://seintampla.info/jocurile-copilariei-recente-1/ http://jocurilecopilariei.blogspot.com/2009/12/biscuite-x-si-o-avioane-spanzuratoare.html http://www.activitaticopii.ro/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20 http://forum.softpedia.com/topic/777448-avionase/ http://iluminisme.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/avioanele-pe-hartie.jpg http://www.placerea-de-a-calatori.ro/2012/12/bruxelles-alaturi-de-bloggerul-preferat.html http://vimeo.com/50741579 http://wildhoney33.blogspot.com/2011/07/jocurile-copilariei-avioane.html

The introductory paragraph is far too long and complicated; it was almost an article in itself! This needs to be integrated into the article: Franklin is best known for her work on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA which led to the discovery of DNA double helix. Her data, according to Francis Crick, were "the data we actually used"[1] to formulate Crick and Watson's 1953 hypothesis regarding the structure of DNA.[2] Franklin's images of X-ray diffraction confirming the helical structure of DNA were shown to Watson without her approval or knowledge. Though this image and her accurate interpretation of the data provided valuable insight into the DNA structure, Franklin's scientific contributions to the discovery of the double helix are often overlooked. Unpublished drafts of her papers (written just as she was arranging to leave King's College London) show that she had independently determined the overall B-form of the DNA helix and the location of the phosphate groups on the outside of the structure. Moreover, Franklin personally told Crick and Watson that the backbones had to be on the outside, which was crucial since before this both they and Linus Pauling had independently generated non-illuminating models with the chains inside and the bases pointing outwards.[3] However, her work was published third, in the series of three DNA Nature articles, led by the paper of Watson and Crick which only hinted at her contribution to their hypothesis.[4]

Good Afternoon Excirial. There seems to be a mistake i see constantly within this article. I attempt to correct it but I am constantly deleted for "Vandalism". The Sons of Liberty are indeed by definition a terrorist group and i provided a strong definition to prove that to be so. Although it seems some of Wikipedia's editors minds are completely corrupted by American history teachers, i try to provide a more critical view on this subject. I believe people can be much more educated if they can see an issue from different perspectives. I hope that you will help stop these wrongful deletions and make Wikipedia a more educational place that helps spark critical thinking.

WikiProject AFC is holding a one month long Backlog Elimination Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from March 1st, 2013 – March 31st, 2013.
Awards will be given out for all reviewers participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 2000 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the
drive's page and help out!

Just got a Bot notice about the March AFC Backlog Elimination Drive. I was going to sign up for the AFCBuddy, but noticed something weird about the linkage... the links all go to the January 2013 drive instead of March, so it looks like the Buddy is out of date. I see that another person has signed up today for the March drive and put January 2013 into their signup... Thanks, Shearonink ( talk) 15:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Just a head's up with what's going on here ... I was starting to get a bit concerned about a number of comments on the help desk where the submitter thought they hadn't submitted correctly, where in fact they had, but more than two weeks had gone by without a review due to the backlog. With a "severe" 2000+ article backlog, the "Please wait a week" message should be more like two weeks. So I added the extra level in order to give a more manageable level of expectation. I think all the corresponding templates are now working - if any aren't, shout! Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:45, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Dear editor,
I have just received notification about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clemmie_Moodie that the entry is being considered for deletion.
I am a complete beginner and would be grateful for any advice you could give me about how I should improve the entry to prevent deletion.
The comment is that all citations are primary and that secondary and tertiary citations are required.
Now I have looked at entries for other journalists and many seem to have many fewer primary citations let alone secondary citations than my entry.
I wonder if you could explain a little more about secondary citations and also I am not sure how you give a citation about date of birth; would you mind making a suggestion about this?
I am sorry if these questions sound naive but I am an old goger and a little baffled.
Many thanks

...what happened to all the "Reviews of reviews"? It looks like they've been wiped out. Shearonink ( talk) 19:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Also many thanks for the AFCBuddy updates, I also have a query about this - I sorta expected AFC buddy would do only additive changes to my list - there were quite a few I had manually reviewed as they were on userpages rather than on AFC and they seem to have been removed from my list but they should still count for the backlog drive? - a handful were already reviewed also. What is the best way for me to manually add reviewed pages that won't get deleted by the script? Sorry if this is a dumb question. -- nonsense ferret 20:09, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
New subsection, foodstuff should be kept in a clean space! Or rather: sectioned to ensure i don't forget to reply to nonsenseferret.
On Numiaq's page I see XxX--shinjiro--XxX listed as a checked review (but with neither a pass/fail nor second reviewer's name). The previous revision doesn't show any secondary review.— rybec 23:14, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
![]() | I know why it did that! See I have been following along! (waves hand wildly) It's because the Buddy was looking for the two dashes - - as a search string and that particular article title has those characters in it. Shearonink ( talk) 23:36, 18 March 2013 (UTC) |
![]() | Bingo, entirely correct! That was the simplest solution i came up with; After all, why would there be a single and then a double - in a line if it wasn't a review (Hint: HTML Comments and oddball article titles). Either way, the Pass / Fail text criteria is now added, so AFCBuddy should scrub that comment section during its next run. By the way, if you happen to notice that this page has the same issue: No need to bring a whale-trout. Thats the same issue :). Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 00:02, 19 March 2013 (UTC) |
I saw people using the "--" but I stopped doing it after seeing that the directions just say "If you pass a review, include the word "Pass" along with your user signature.(only three not four tildes here)." Where I reviewed ArisaMTC's review of No Shame, the bot put Chinese characters into my signature. — rybec 05:53, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
![]() | That's an encoding related issue i still need to look into - it has been present for a while though. The issue itself is that the encoding AFCBuddy uses doesn't understand "Special" characters (The MDash in your signature is an example, though it will also fail to detect other special characters). The same happens if you would change your browsers encoding to ISO-8859-1 as opposed to UTF-8 which is standard these days - in that case it would have similar issues representing these characters. I am not entirely sure why it chooses to defaults to Chinese characters in that case (Maybe my own systems locale plays a role), but it should be easy to fix by telling AFCBuddy to use the correct localization for these. Also quite amusing: If Google translate is correct it changes your username to "Rustic satisfied rybec" - i suppose that doesn't sound half bad for a bug result.

Dear Sir,
I have written an article about Indian Institute of Fire Engineering, Nagpur few times but it has been declined by you. Kindly let me know what else is required so that this article can be approved. The institute is genuine with it's website and approved by two government bodies 1. Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education and 2. Director of technical education.

Yo Excirial, 1. can you set me up with AFCBuddy stats for the AFC drive, adding all the stats by hand is just too much.
2. if there is any change of sharing the .NET code - it would be a boost for one of the other project which requires parsing user contribs. Also if you know some other project which does that it would be great. Thanks BO | Talk 14:11, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Chewing gum?
Hey Mate...
A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing. You accused me of doing something to a chewing gum article/page? By IP address? My user name is Misterweiss. I don't do any changes/edits without it. I use Verizon Wireless Broadband via a USB modem for internet access - I have a different IP address every time I connect, like dial-up used to be. The only thing I can figure is someone else on Verizon did those changes, and today I happen to be on that IP address. If you check my history, you'll probably see a million different IP addresses in the last 5 years.
I understand you're using bots and such to check for vandalism, but it's quite obvious that it doesn't always work. You can't assume that someone always has the same IP address and accuse people of things.
I have no bloody interest in chewing gum anyway!
Thanks

I think you made a mistake regarding the Pork Barrel entry in Wikipedia, simply because there is no discussion page whatsoever on Facebook with that name, and participating in the Wiki writeup is essentially the only place to put some content that IS constructive, because Wiki sits at the top of results from almost every search engine. Oh, well.

Well in my editing I changed the authors name cause I will show you that the real authors name is Mark Allen Shouldice and not Mark Dice
These two links shows exactly that the author Mark Dice is really Mark Shouldice aka Mark Allen Shouldice The author also in 'your' edited version tells that Mark Dice wrote these two books which clearly estates in these links that the authors name is Mark Allen Shouldice. Mark Dice is just his username and not biographical name.
