Thank you for prompt response!
From the [ reply] from another editor: "I think it's got a decent chance of being accepted, as I think 8 of those sources look to be reliable sources (Wikipedia doesn't accept LinkedIn as a reliable source)- if you could find a few more similar sources about the topic, that would increase the chances of it being accepted on Wikipedia."
Some points:
Question: if after reading this, with the exception of linked in, you still disagree that the sources are unreliable, is this considered a dispute that I would bring to the link referenced on the "reliable sources" page?

Hi FoCuSandLeArN! Thank you for reviewing my article: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Draft:DecaWave&redirect=no. As per your comment, I attempted to find more sources other than the company's website. Could you let me know if I need more sources or if I need to find different sources?

Hi there. Thanks for reviewing Boustead & Co.
Boustead Berhard is no longer part of Boustead & Co. Boustead Holdings Berhard split off from Boustead & Co after World War II when Malaysia declared independence from the British (in 1957) and Singapore declared independence from Malaysia (in 1965). This saw Boustead & Co split into three entities, Boustead Plc in London, Boustead Holdings Berhad in Malaysia and Boustead Singapore Limited.
Boustead Plc was reorganised in 2012 from a public company to a private company (from Boustead plc back to Boustead & Co, which is its original name).
I've made the following edits to Boustead Berhard:
"After World War II, Malaysia declared independence from the British (1957) and Singapore declared independence from Malaysia (1965). This saw Boustead & Co split into three entities, Boustead Plc in London (which was later reorganized as Boustead & Co), Boustead Holdings Berhad in Malaysia and Boustead Singapore Limited."
I added the source to the new Boustead & Co article, as well:
Drake, Peter Joseph (2004). "Currency, Credit and Commerce". pp. 65-69
Pls let me know if you have any questions or further comments.
Thank you for your assistance on this matter.

Hello.

This article was initially declined for inadequate notability: /info/en/?search=Draft:Loandepot After it was resubmitted, you made a comment that the article has enough coverage to attest notability. Then, someone else declined it because in their opinion it reads like a press release. I have two questions: 1. Does one reviewer's opinion determine if an article is approved or not? 2. Should this article be written in a conversational tone rather than just factual?
Thank you for your feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Visitrick ( talk • contribs) 21:27, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Dear FoCusSandLeArN
I wondered, when i checked the reason about declining of Sujit Meher draft page as not notable. Sujit Meher is a famous young designer of India and placed among to 10 designers list of India [1]and also his official page verified by facebook itself, because of this popularity and fan base. And i checked the current edits on the article with more reliable sources and references. Please i request you to kindly go through this matter and try to publish the page.

Hello,
I noticed my article for /info/en/?search=Draft:TEAM* was declined "Due to its name it's hard to find refs about them, but from the ones you've provided I can clearly say they're non-notable." I was wondering if I could get some help on getting this article cleared.

If I could get some help so the article can be published that would be great. Thank you.( Cmireland ( talk) 14:31, 13 July 2015 (UTC))

Just to notify you I have deleted Frederick T. Davies a draft you moved into the main space for copyright violations. A large portion was taken directly from the Texas A&M University System's website. Even if the person creating the article says they are the person in question (not sure they did but their user name implies it), we would need still need permission to use it word for word.

My submitted article on Janet E. Mertz was rejected because of the inclusion of some material with copyright. I would be glad to edit this article to bring it into compliance, but I neglected to retain the latest version of the article assuming that Wikipedia would retain the text in my Sandbox. It would save me a great deal of time if I could get access to the deleted material so that I could change the quoted passages.

Hello, You recently trimmed and accepted my article - Joram Piatigorsky. Thank you. I am the representative for Joram Piatigorsky, the article was not created by he himself. But I created it under his user name. Is that a problem? Should I have created it under my own username? Could you explain why you trimmed what you did?

Hello. You pointed out a possible copyright violation of an ADB pdf on the draft:Indigenous Peoples Rights in the Philippines. I went on the live chat and was pointed towards the plagiarized checker websites and saw that most of the violations were actually direct quotes both by the writers of the pdf and us from the only law in the Philippines that discusses Indigenous Peoples Rights. I've also consulted with my professor who had told us that paraphrasing the law is risky business because we might be placing interpretations of the law. I really feel strongly about being accused of plagiarism I think the mistake can easily be rectified and was not in fact a plagiarism and instead a misunderstanding of how to discuss law provisions and definitions. If you could lift the speedy deletion so my groupmates can delete our direct quotes from the law and write the article without much issue, it would be much appreciated.

Are you able to give me access to the deleted article so I can make it compliant?

Hi, You recently rejected a page I created on the Five Points. I understand that I copy and pasted material but I think you misunderstood the nature of the actual content that was pasted. The Five Points (text that was pasted) is not copywrited material but a policy, somewhat like the Bill of Rights.
I did not copy any part of the copywrited section of: http://west-wight-sangha.blogspot.com/2010/03/more-on-nun-ordinations-at-amaravati.htm
I only copy and pasted the actual Five Point policy, which was a secret policy issued by Amaravati Monastery, and not by the authors of the aforementioned website. The website listed above is the only place where the Five Points is written down, outside of Amravati Monastery, which has not made the policy public. So the material is quoted on the above website, and not under copywrite agreement. Other non-copywrited policies, such as the Bill of Rights, ARE quoted verbatim on Wikipedia.
I think you misapplied the copywrite policy. Please look at the Five Points page again, and either reverse your decision or point me to the correct policy that, correctly applied, disqualifies this non-copywrited content.

Hi,
since you reviewed this page ( José Luis Encarnação) in May 2015 I have made significant changes and improvements to writing and verification. However, I am not sure about the process to have the page reviewed again to improve it's quality standing beyond the current start-class.
Can you help with that?
Thank you.
You cite that not a single notable source has been used, although Malta Today is one example of a reliable news source. Wikipedia guidelines state that the majority of sources must be secondary in nature, which is what I have submitted. Although many are not from established editorial websites with a strong reputation for fact checking or accuracy, the information provided by them is factual in nature and does not provide trivial coverage or brief statements.
Furthermore, Wikipedia states that "material available from sources that are self-published, or primary sources, or biased because of a conflict of interest can play a role in writing an article, but it must be possible to source the majority of information to independent, third-party sources." The sources I have provided within the article are not affiliated with OneTwoTrade and can be considered independent, third party references.

Dear FoCuSandLeArN,
Thank you for your feedback. I added many, many independent verifiable sources to the article: over 14. This includes Who's Who in America, Contemporary Authors, prestigious newspapers, magazines and radio shows. Could you please take a look at these sources and footnotes? I have viewed other biographies on Wiki and think mine is much better sourced than a lot I found. Do you have a model article to look at? Other people on Wiki like Macrakis do not have such extensive independent sourcing.
Please let me know.
Thanks!

Hello, I added more citations to the Dewing Woodward draft page. Ralph Rees and Mary Sieminski are the only leading researchers on Woodward which is why they're cited so often. Should I include a note about that in the article itself? Thank you!
Trying to figure out what else I need for this article to be "notable."
The article about notability ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability_(music)) has "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself" and "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)."
The subject of the article has both of these covered, but the article is still declined?

Hi FocusAndLearn, you are correct, I was not being WP:NICE to sulfurboy in my comment at Draft:Michael Elliott. Thanks for nudging me.
That said, 1) it is not my article, the WP:OWNer is User:Gabrisa(sp)(see edit-history of draft) who I am trying to assist, after seeing them flailing on en-wikipedia-help IRC.
Furthermore, 2) I'm *really* having difficulty seeing that this is any kind of borderline case. Before I cut it down to size, there was a lot of WP:ABOUTSELF content, true, but there is now a negligible amount, that I can see. Before I added the additional sources, there were not really enough to demonstrate WP;N and satisfy WP:42, also true ... but with the sources listed now, I would have thought that WP:GNG was obviously met.
Sulfurboy disagreed, and said that any refs specifically about promotions were invariably "routine coverage"... whether in major national newsweekly media, or not. That's just flat wrong, hence my grumpy comment, that it was flat wrong. (I've also seen some other declines by sulfurboy from that same day which I disagreed with; it's not just this one action which made me grumpy) (but there is no excuse for being grumpy in any case).
You *also* seem to think the sources are fake, aka press-release-regurgitation. So maybe I'm just in the wrong here. But can you be specific? Here are the 'main' ones, of which only the independent.co.uk cite was acceptable to the eyes of User:Sulfurboy, ping in case they wish to comment further.
Which don't you like, and why? If you do a bit of googling in your search engine of choice, for "michael elliott" (time OR newsweek OR "the economist" OR bono) , methinks there are more sources out there. Thanks for your time and your patience; I'll try harder to keep my horses docile. WP:NORUSH applies, as always. 75.108.94.227 ( talk) 20:38, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello. I didn't accept an AfC submission, it looks like the article's creator created Draft:Paul Ewing a few minutes after creating the same article in mainspace, for some reason, and it's still pending. I just saw the article on NewPagesFeed, skimmed it to make sure it wasn't an obvious speedy, and cleaned it up a bit. -- McGeddon ( talk) 07:29, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
hi FoCuSandLeArN, thanks for your review and comment on the page /info/en/?search=Draft:Inner_Source. I'm aware that the term is not widely known but it is used in the software industry and research literature. Also, I added a set of more than 30 links to various websites that discuss Inner Source. The word "software" can be added easily of course. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjstol ( talk • contribs) 12:46, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

This article was initially declined for inadequate notability: /info/en/?search=Draft:Loandepot After it was resubmitted, you made a comment that the article has enough coverage to attest notability. Then, someone else declined it because in their opinion it reads like a press release. I have two questions: 1. Does one reviewer's opinion determine if an article is approved or not? 2. Should this article be written in a conversational tone rather than just factual?
Thank you for your feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Visitrick ( talk • contribs) 21:27, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Dear FoCusSandLeArN
I wondered, when i checked the reason about declining of Sujit Meher draft page as not notable. Sujit Meher is a famous young designer of India and placed among to 10 designers list of India [1]and also his official page verified by facebook itself, because of this popularity and fan base. And i checked the current edits on the article with more reliable sources and references. Please i request you to kindly go through this matter and try to publish the page.

Hello,
I noticed my article for /info/en/?search=Draft:TEAM* was declined "Due to its name it's hard to find refs about them, but from the ones you've provided I can clearly say they're non-notable." I was wondering if I could get some help on getting this article cleared. I am unsure as to why the band is non-notable when the references all lead to the information that is mentioned in the article. If I could get some help so the article can be published that would be great. Thank you.( Cmireland ( talk) 14:31, 13 July 2015 (UTC))

Just to notify you I have deleted Frederick T. Davies a draft you moved into the main space for copyright violations. A large portion was taken directly from the Texas A&M University System's website. Even if the person creating the article says they are the person in question (not sure they did but their user name implies it), we would need still need permission to use it word for word.

My submitted article on Janet E. Mertz was rejected because of the inclusion of some material with copyright. I would be glad to edit this article to bring it into compliance, but I neglected to retain the latest version of the article assuming that Wikipedia would retain the text in my Sandbox. It would save me a great deal of time if I could get access to the deleted material so that I could change the quoted passages.

Hello, You recently trimmed and accepted my article - Joram Piatigorsky. Thank you. I am the representative for Joram Piatigorsky, the article was not created by he himself. But I created it under his user name. Is that a problem? Should I have created it under my own username? Could you explain why you trimmed what you did? And what would be the best way to add some more of that information back in? If you don't recommend doing so, that's fine, but I would at least like to add a photo and a text box - how do I figure out how to do that?

Hello. You pointed out a possible copyright violation of an ADB pdf on the draft:Indigenous Peoples Rights in the Philippines. I went on the live chat and was pointed towards the plagiarized checker websites and saw that most of the violations were actually direct quotes both by the writers of the pdf and us from the only law in the Philippines that discusses Indigenous Peoples Rights. I've also consulted with my professor who had told us that paraphrasing the law is risky business because we might be placing interpretations of the law. I really feel strongly about being accused of plagiarism I think the mistake can easily be rectified and was not in fact a plagiarism and instead a misunderstanding of how to discuss law provisions and definitions. If you could lift the speedy deletion so my groupmates can delete our direct quotes from the law and write the article without much issue, it would be much appreciated. Thank you, I hope to hear from you how I can improve the article Ceeveers ( talk) 06:47, 17 July 2015 (UTC)Ceevers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceeveers ( talk • contribs) 06:43, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
I am in the same position as Kanejon who posted on 14 July 2015. My AfC on Gordon Graham was rejected today because of the inclusion of some material with copyright and then deleted before I knew it had been rejected. I would be very happy to edit the article to make it compliant, but didn't keep any version of the article assuming that Wikipedia would retain the text in my Sandbox. Are you able to give me access to the deleted article so I can make it compliant?

Hi, You recently rejected a page I created on the Five Points. I understand that I copy and pasted material but I think you misunderstood the nature of the actual content that was pasted. The Five Points (text that was pasted) is not copywrited material but a policy, somewhat like the Bill of Rights.
I did not copy any part of the copywrited section of: http://west-wight-sangha.blogspot.com/2010/03/more-on-nun-ordinations-at-amaravati.htm
I only copy and pasted the actual Five Point policy, which was a secret policy issued by Amaravati Monastery, and not by the authors of the aforementioned website. The website listed above is the only place where the Five Points is written down, outside of Amravati Monastery, which has not made the policy public. So the material is quoted on the above website, and not under copywrite agreement. Other non-copywrited policies, such as the Bill of Rights, ARE quoted verbatim on Wikipedia.
I think you misapplied the copywrite policy. Please look at the Five Points page again, and either reverse your decision or point me to the correct policy that, correctly applied, disqualifies this non-copywrited content.

Hi,
since you reviewed this page ( José Luis Encarnação) in May 2015 I have made significant changes and improvements to writing and verification. However, I am not sure about the process to have the page reviewed again to improve it's quality standing beyond the current start-class.
Can you help with that?
Thank you.
You cite that not a single notable source has been used, although Malta Today is one example of a reliable news source. Wikipedia guidelines state that the majority of sources must be secondary in nature, which is what I have submitted. Although many are not from established editorial websites with a strong reputation for fact checking or accuracy, the information provided by them is factual in nature and does not provide trivial coverage or brief statements.
Furthermore, Wikipedia states that "material available from sources that are self-published, or primary sources, or biased because of a conflict of interest can play a role in writing an article, but it must be possible to source the majority of information to independent, third-party sources." The sources I have provided within the article are not affiliated with OneTwoTrade and can be considered independent, third party references.
Please let me know your comments, I look forward to hearing back Mikefly ( talk) 09:52, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi FoCuSandLeArN,
Thank you for your careful eye. I have reviewed the guidelines on notability.
To clarify, you are opposed to the references to company issued press releases, correct? Is there anything else, reference-wise, that is objectionable?

Dear FoCuSandLeArN,
Thank you for your feedback. I added many, many independent verifiable sources to the article: over 14. This includes Who's Who in America, Contemporary Authors, prestigious newspapers, magazines and radio shows. Could you please take a look at these sources and footnotes? I have viewed other biographies on Wiki and think mine is much better sourced than a lot I found. Do you have a model article to look at? Other people on Wiki like Macrakis do not have such extensive independent sourcing.
Please let me know.
Thanks!

Hi, would changing the article from "Louise Meanwell aka Louise Neathway" to "“Brian Cashman Yankee General Manager V. Louise Meanwell Lawsuit” overcome the problem with Neathway not being notable on her own.

Hello, I added more citations to the Dewing Woodward draft page. Ralph Rees and Mary Sieminski are the only leading researchers on Woodward which is why they're cited so often. Should I include a note about that in the article itself? Thank you!
Trying to figure out what else I need for this article to be "notable."
The article about notability ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability_(music)) has "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself" and "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)."
The subject of the article has both of these covered, but the article is still declined?

Hi FoCuSandLeArN ( talk). I may have made a mistake by submitting the John Mollison draft for re-review. I wanted to know if the new references were usable and if the subject was notable. What I submitted was not to be the article. Because it was a draft in my user space I didn't think the blatant copy/paste job mattered, another error on my part. This is my first Biography of a living person but not the first article I've created, please take a look if you like.

Hi FocusAndLearn, you are correct, I was not being WP:NICE to sulfurboy in my comment at Draft:Michael Elliott. Thanks for nudging me.
That said, 1) it is not my article, the WP:OWNer is User:Gabrisa(sp)(see edit-history of draft) who I am trying to assist, after seeing them flailing on en-wikipedia-help IRC.
Furthermore, 2) I'm *really* having difficulty seeing that this is any kind of borderline case. Before I cut it down to size, there was a lot of WP:ABOUTSELF content, true, but there is now a negligible amount, that I can see. Before I added the additional sources, there were not really enough to demonstrate WP;N and satisfy WP:42, also true ... but with the sources listed now, I would have thought that WP:GNG was obviously met.
Sulfurboy disagreed, and said that any refs specifically about promotions were invariably "routine coverage"... whether in major national newsweekly media, or not. That's just flat wrong, hence my grumpy comment, that it was flat wrong. (I've also seen some other declines by sulfurboy from that same day which I disagreed with; it's not just this one action which made me grumpy) (but there is no excuse for being grumpy in any case).
You *also* seem to think the sources are fake, aka press-release-regurgitation. So maybe I'm just in the wrong here. But can you be specific? Here are the 'main' ones, of which only the independent.co.uk cite was acceptable to the eyes of User:Sulfurboy, ping in case they wish to comment further.
Which don't you like, and why? If you do a bit of googling in your search engine of choice, for "michael elliott" (time OR newsweek OR "the economist" OR bono) , methinks there are more sources out there. Thanks for your time and your patience; I'll try harder to keep my horses docile. WP:NORUSH applies, as always. 75.108.94.227 ( talk) 20:38, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
