Hello, You might remember me from last year when i first got into wikipedia. After a certain family incident i'm now back to contribute to wikipedia. Now i made a list of articles i either want to add additional information or pictures/documents to to make the article more informative and of course objective. One thing i noticed is that in most of those articles talk pages you seem to be active on, and in most of them it seems like there are problems between you and another contributor. The most recent one i just came across while checking personalities i can add a lot of information or pictures to is: /info/en/?search=Talk:G%C3%BCnther_Freiherr_von_Maltzahn Now i want to make wikipedia a more neutral place that on one hand contains all of the facts but at the same time also stays away from bias. You and me both can accept that we have a natural bias. As you are of jewish heritage and maybe even have victims of WW2 war crimes among your family while i'm of german heritage and have family that were heavily involved in the 3rd Reich (which is why i have a lot to contribute while leaving out the personal items because of their bias.) I'd like to have a personal talk with you via e-mail or something similar before i add/edit articles you have been involved in. That way you and me both save time and both can work on creating more neutral but always factual wikipedia articles. Is there an e-mail adress or another way to contact you in private? I'd appreciate it if you'd share it so i can inform you about all of the wikipedia articles you've been involved in that i want to add information to.

Hey, saw this, and while it is incorrect to say the SS was a 4th Wehrmacht branch (though to be fair, SS units were under Wehrmacht operational control - often) - as the "regime logic" (similar to some modern Republican Guards or Revolutionay Guards) was that these were a counterforce to the regular army... However, was not the Waffen SS effectively the 4th armed service of Nazi Germany? Icewhiz ( talk) 05:02, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi There,
Thanks for your review.
I got your message about the rejection of my page "monday (software)". You wrote "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia" I invested a lot of time to make this page as neutral as possible, including 37 (neutral) references, so I was wondering what else I should do in order to allow the page to be published. Yes, this article is about a commercial company and product, but so are lots of others articles, including companies similar to monday. I actually tried to keep a similar structure and type of content like those pages for example /info/en/?search=Asana_(software), /info/en/?search=Airtable
I'd really like to have your assistance on how to make it even more neutral to allow it go live.

The article Wilhelm Krüger has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
It appears that this is a fake article, because that person never existed : he was confused with Friedrich-Wilhelm Krüger at the time of his creation. It has just been deleted from French Wikipedia where it had been copied from English Wikipedia. Please see that discussion page : [6]. Best regards. Gkml
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hope you are well. Since I had a free couple of hours, I worked on the Bandenbekämpfung page you created. In the process, I deleted a couple things that were not substantiated or not a proper reflection of the original (added by other editors I am sure). Not that I did a lot, but it's enough that a good copy-edit, content review, is in order as I was working very quickly. As you know, my substantial library can be used to great effect in strengthening this page--if I had but more time. Maybe over the holidays or if I get a free moment here or there.

Dear K.e.coffman,
I am very confused by this article being declined citing that it "appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia". There is currently an article about the Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art in Swedish (Göteborg Internationella konstbiennal), but there is not one in English, hence this article being created. Here is the Swedish article: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6teborgs_Internationella_Konstbiennal
In my opinion, this article couldn't be more objective, as it simply stated the title of each edition, the theme, the curator, the artists and the venues. This is the format used by the Liverpool Biennial. Is it just that the sources are mostly from GIBCA's website?
Can you please explain exactly why this article has been declined, given that an article for this same topic already exists in Swedish. And please can you let me know which specific things need to be edited in order for it to be published?
Thank you, Michelle

You moved the article about Medicare cost reports to Draft:Medicare cost report. I was not sure what the protocol is for responding. I tried responding on my talk page, and am responding here, as well.
Below is a quote from WP:ADVOCACY "Don't use Wikipedia articles to advocate your cause. Advocacy is the use of Wikipedia to promote personal beliefs or agendas at the expense of Wikipedia's goals and core content policies, including verifiability and neutral point of view."
Medicare cost reports are neither anyone's personal beliefs nor agendas. There is an entire division at CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) whose sole job is to oversee the cost reports. Though I do not have one, relationship to any of the providers would be irrelevant, since filing Medicare cost reports is a requirement for Medicare participation, not a way to enrich providers. The aim of the article is to assist those providers in finding the information they need regarding Medicare Cost Reports and how and when to file them, so that they will remain compliant with Medicare regulations. I do have a relationship with https://blog.ppsassistant.com/, and quote it due to the dearth, lack of reliability, or lack of clarity of much of the other material about cost reports found on the web. Since this is a very specific topic, there are few experts in this area, and an even greater lack of information for providers who need it. Taking the article out of circulation will leave many who need the information in the dark. -- TemiU ( talk) 18:53, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
I quote it due to the dearth, lack of reliability, or lack of clarity of much of the other material about cost reports found on the web, this means that the topic is likely to be non-notable and is not suitable for inclusion here. -- K.e.coffman ( talk) 04:34, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi,
I have had the Draft: Mark Mosimann page reviewed and denied, but I don't really understand why. There are plenty of external references, from independent bodies and the content is neither of advertising nature nor one-sided? Please can you advise?

Hi
re /info/en/?search=Draft:International_Federation_of_Environmental_Health
I got the standard message re Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:International Federation of Environmental Health, ( /info/en/?search=User_talk:Pauldavey#Speedy_deletion_nomination_of_Draft%3AInternational_Federation_of_Environmental_Health_
I understand your G11 section concerns but would challmeg them howeverbut the message (sent less than 12 hours ago at 4am local time) says
It's been deleted before I read the message - so objecting or improving it seems particularly hard!
For the record I'm not at all associated with the organisation, nor do I even work in that field. I was researching some other matters (on World Environmental Health Day - listed at /info/en/?search=List_of_environmental_dates ) and wanted to know what/who had created it - IFEH is listed but unexplained. So I found that this organisation had no entry at all but appears to be the main international EHO organisation.
As I recall I listed not only the organistion's own website, and brief summary of its stated puspose (is that inappropriate?) but also supporting citations and references to other international organisations inclduing academic and government websites and conferences. Format and layout may have needed some improvement - but I thought that was the type of content needed. (I'd looked at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations - and I think it's a notable organisation.)
I see you are an experienced Wikipedia editor so while I tried to follow the templates if you have an example of a better similar article or specific comments I'd be grateful to see them, or have your help.
If things are deleted so rapidly without a copy available or a chance to amend them - even if only in draft form - it hardly makes me keen to bother doing more for wikipedia.
I've done enough writing to be happy at challenges over content, policy or other constructive cricitism, but being told that "you may contest the nomination" when it is already seems to be too late is really quite disheartening.
Can you help?
Pauldavey ( talk) 13:29, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply and examples.
As I created the stub page sometime ago and was critised by another enditor for incomplete info IIRC I expanded it listing separate third party references and so me context. I tried to follow the template format suggested, but I have no problem with making it shorter.
However I some kind of entry adds value to Wikipedia as whole by defining what is clearly a bona fide international organisation
I don't think in overall length it was that different your your Bundeswehr reference, but perhaps a little longer than the Military History Working Group - once I expanded it. But as I don't have the text or references that were there I am no longer able to actually compare them.
Please can you post the previous content here and I will work on it offline or shall we settle for this topic not being of any interest.
Pauldavey ( talk) 15:17, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
Thanks - looking better now. I wasn't able to edit last month but some folks helped tidy it up. Still concise, factual, with links to two external references and only relying on the org itself for a brief statement of its aims and link to its offfical website.

Hello! I noticed you declined my submission for my article on the group Ateez. I made sure to add numerous sources unconnected to the group itself and reworded a lot of the content to improve the article and resubmitted, but I am confused as to why it would be too soon to create an article about the group when they've been active since June this year. If you could give me some advice on how to make the article more suitable for wikipedia, I and many others would be very grateful. Thank you! Finnybug ( talk) 16:50, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, You tagged my draft for speedy deletion and I understand your concerns, but I was wondering if there is any way that you could remove that tag and instead mark it as needing editing? I understand your concerns but most of the article I modeled after other academic pages and I believe the problem came when I tried to show that the person met notability standards, which I believe he does (I am happy to explain which specific criteria are met if you want to discuss his notability), and that led to some phrasing that may have sounded promotional. I think that the issues can be fixed and I will work to create a more neutral-sounding draft with any input that you have if you do remove the tag. I would really appreciate your help!

Hello,
I just got a message today that my draft:Marek_Holecek has been rejected because of the potential COI. I am actually quite sad dn crushed as I have been working on the article for over two months tapping into tens of published articles, watching various TV and online interviews and reading multiple books to create a notable entry on the best Czech climber who was awarded with the most important global mountaineering prize this year. I can't by any means imagine having a COI issue as I don't know him personally, I am only genuinely interested in the subject of mountaineering and climbing (loving mountains and climbing myself) and felt the most accomplished person in the Czech Republic deserved a mention on Wiki in English. His Czech WIki page already exists.
As I believe my draft would bring value as a source of information, I would really appreciate you indicating to me what should be changed or modified so it meets the publishing criteria. I am truly lost as clueless as I can't think of anything that would not be mentioned in public media, newspapers or anything being promotional or not neutral...I tried my best to tap into as many sources I could to make the article as good as I could.
Thank you so much in advance for your advise.

Hi,
I have a couple of queries re. the declined article on Marcus Claudius Gilcia.
The only comment left was that briefly serving as Dictator would not satisfy notability. Seeing as under WP:POL, any national politician would qualify as notable, it would seem strange that an extraordinary and plenipotentiary magistrate would not, regardless how long his term was. Are ancient politicians held to a different standard?
Secondly, I believe this would more than satisfy WP:GNG, meaning that WP:POL is merely a happy extra. Given the difference between modern and ancient sources, it is rare to have any information handed down in detail on individuals; there are quite simply far many famous people today than there were in the past. That said, in this case, though we have lost the primary source (Livy), the fact that a three line summary of that book of Livy (Periochae 19) mentions Gilcia would point towards a large role played in the narrative by him. Given the low number of names handed down, and the fact that this specific case was deemed important enough to be mentioned in a summary, could you please clarify how GNG affects Roman politicians. As this is an area of particular interest to me, this would be very useful.
Thanks LarciusFlavus ( talk) 12:12, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello K.e.coffman,
I'd like to ask, why my article about Solar-PuTTY has been declined as being "advertisement" more than "neutral point of view". To be honest, I can't agree with this statement, as far as the article was written based on research upon the similar published articles (see articles about PuTTY, mintty, and WinSCP). The article has got a lot of hyperlinks into the Wikipedia itself, as well as 4 external references that leads to independent articles around the internet. I'd like to ask you to considering the fact that my article is more or less the same as articles already published and have a look at the review process once more. In the case, you still think that this article does not fit to Wikipedia standards, please, I'll be glad for any specific feedback (the current one is too general to use it for improvement).
Thanks, Ursus

Hello K.e.coffman.
I received your notice of speedy deletion of my draft page, Kastle Systems, which you feel violates Wikipedia Policy for promotional content. This is blatantly unfair and i suggest you take a look at these pages that Wikipedia happily allowed to be posted by some of our biggest competitors (ADT, Vivint, Honeywell, HID Global). Please explain to me what the difference between their post and what I created that you deemed ready for speedy delete. This seems like anti-competitive behavior on your part. Please explain.

The article Wilhelm Krüger has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
It appears that this is a fake article, because that person never existed : he was confused with Friedrich-Wilhelm Krüger at the time of his creation. It has just been deleted from French Wikipedia where it had been copied from English Wikipedia. Please see that discussion page : [6]. Best regards. Gkml
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hope you are well. Since I had a free couple of hours, I worked on the Bandenbekämpfung page you created. In the process, I deleted a couple things that were not substantiated or not a proper reflection of the original (added by other editors I am sure). Not that I did a lot, but it's enough that a good copy-edit, content review, is in order as I was working very quickly. As you know, my substantial library can be used to great effect in strengthening this page--if I had but more time. Maybe over the holidays or if I get a free moment here or there.

Dear K.e.coffman,
I am very confused by this article being declined citing that it "appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia". There is currently an article about the Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art in Swedish (Göteborg Internationella konstbiennal), but there is not one in English, hence this article being created. Here is the Swedish article: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6teborgs_Internationella_Konstbiennal
In my opinion, this article couldn't be more objective, as it simply stated the title of each edition, the theme, the curator, the artists and the venues. This is the format used by the Liverpool Biennial. Is it just that the sources are mostly from GIBCA's website?
Can you please explain exactly why this article has been declined, given that an article for this same topic already exists in Swedish. And please can you let me know which specific things need to be edited in order for it to be published?
Thank you, Michelle

My article on Joseph Ngozi Nkoro was declined on the grounds that it sounded like an advert..
Kindly assist me to fish out those sections or line that sounded like an advert.. I wish this article to be as neutral as neutral can be..
Meanwhile I am already working to reduce any line that tends towards the advert..

You moved the article about Medicare cost reports to Draft:Medicare cost report. I was not sure what the protocol is for responding. I tried responding on my talk page, and am responding here, as well.
Below is a quote from WP:ADVOCACY "Don't use Wikipedia articles to advocate your cause. Advocacy is the use of Wikipedia to promote personal beliefs or agendas at the expense of Wikipedia's goals and core content policies, including verifiability and neutral point of view."
Medicare cost reports are neither anyone's personal beliefs nor agendas. There is an entire division at CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) whose sole job is to oversee the cost reports. Though I do not have one, relationship to any of the providers would be irrelevant, since filing Medicare cost reports is a requirement for Medicare participation, not a way to enrich providers. The aim of the article is to assist those providers in finding the information they need regarding Medicare Cost Reports and how and when to file them, so that they will remain compliant with Medicare regulations. I do have a relationship with https://blog.ppsassistant.com/, and quote it due to the dearth, lack of reliability, or lack of clarity of much of the other material about cost reports found on the web. Since this is a very specific topic, there are few experts in this area, and an even greater lack of information for providers who need it. Taking the article out of circulation will leave many who need the information in the dark. -- TemiU ( talk) 18:53, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
I quote it due to the dearth, lack of reliability, or lack of clarity of much of the other material about cost reports found on the web, this means that the topic is likely to be non-notable and is not suitable for inclusion here. -- K.e.coffman ( talk) 04:34, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi,
I have had the Draft: Mark Mosimann page reviewed and denied, but I don't really understand why. There are plenty of external references, from independent bodies and the content is neither of advertising nature nor one-sided? Please can you advise?

Hi
re /info/en/?search=Draft:International_Federation_of_Environmental_Health
I got the standard message re Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:International Federation of Environmental Health, ( /info/en/?search=User_talk:Pauldavey#Speedy_deletion_nomination_of_Draft%3AInternational_Federation_of_Environmental_Health_
I understand your G11 section concerns but would challmeg them howeverbut the message (sent less than 12 hours ago at 4am local time) says
It's been deleted before I read the message - so objecting or improving it seems particularly hard!
For the record I'm not at all associated with the organisation, nor do I even work in that field. I was researching some other matters (on World Environmental Health Day - listed at /info/en/?search=List_of_environmental_dates ) and wanted to know what/who had created it - IFEH is listed but unexplained. So I found that this organisation had no entry at all but appears to be the main international EHO organisation.
As I recall I listed not only the organistion's own website, and brief summary of its stated puspose (is that inappropriate?) but also supporting citations and references to other international organisations inclduing academic and government websites and conferences. Format and layout may have needed some improvement - but I thought that was the type of content needed. (I'd looked at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations - and I think it's a notable organisation.)
I see you are an experienced Wikipedia editor so while I tried to follow the templates if you have an example of a better similar article or specific comments I'd be grateful to see them, or have your help.
If things are deleted so rapidly without a copy available or a chance to amend them - even if only in draft form - it hardly makes me keen to bother doing more for wikipedia.
I've done enough writing to be happy at challenges over content, policy or other constructive cricitism, but being told that "you may contest the nomination" when it is already seems to be too late is really quite disheartening.
Can you help?
Pauldavey ( talk) 13:29, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply and examples.
As I created the stub page sometime ago and was critised by another enditor for incomplete info IIRC I expanded it listing separate third party references and so me context. I tried to follow the template format suggested, but I have no problem with making it shorter.
However I some kind of entry adds value to Wikipedia as whole by defining what is clearly a bona fide international organisation
I don't think in overall length it was that different your your Bundeswehr reference, but perhaps a little longer than the Military History Working Group - once I expanded it. But as I don't have the text or references that were there I am no longer able to actually compare them.
Please can you post the previous content here and I will work on it offline or shall we settle for this topic not being of any interest.
Pauldavey ( talk) 15:17, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
Thanks - looking better now. I wasn't able to edit last month but some folks helped tidy it up. Still concise, factual, with links to two external references and only relying on the org itself for a brief statement of its aims and link to its offfical website.

Hello! I noticed you declined my submission for my article on the group Ateez. I made sure to add numerous sources unconnected to the group itself and reworded a lot of the content to improve the article and resubmitted, but I am confused as to why it would be too soon to create an article about the group when they've been active since June this year. If you could give me some advice on how to make the article more suitable for wikipedia, I and many others would be very grateful. Thank you! Finnybug ( talk) 16:50, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, You tagged my draft for speedy deletion and I understand your concerns, but I was wondering if there is any way that you could remove that tag and instead mark it as needing editing? I understand your concerns but most of the article I modeled after other academic pages and I believe the problem came when I tried to show that the person met notability standards, which I believe he does (I am happy to explain which specific criteria are met if you want to discuss his notability), and that led to some phrasing that may have sounded promotional. I think that the issues can be fixed and I will work to create a more neutral-sounding draft with any input that you have if you do remove the tag. I would really appreciate your help!

Hello,
I just got a message today that my draft:Marek_Holecek has been rejected because of the potential COI. I am actually quite sad dn crushed as I have been working on the article for over two months tapping into tens of published articles, watching various TV and online interviews and reading multiple books to create a notable entry on the best Czech climber who was awarded with the most important global mountaineering prize this year. I can't by any means imagine having a COI issue as I don't know him personally, I am only genuinely interested in the subject of mountaineering and climbing (loving mountains and climbing myself) and felt the most accomplished person in the Czech Republic deserved a mention on Wiki in English. His Czech WIki page already exists.
As I believe my draft would bring value as a source of information, I would really appreciate you indicating to me what should be changed or modified so it meets the publishing criteria. I am truly lost as clueless as I can't think of anything that would not be mentioned in public media, newspapers or anything being promotional or not neutral...I tried my best to tap into as many sources I could to make the article as good as I could.
Thank you so much in advance for your advise.

Hi,
I have a couple of queries re. the declined article on Marcus Claudius Gilcia.
The only comment left was that briefly serving as Dictator would not satisfy notability. Seeing as under WP:POL, any national politician would qualify as notable, it would seem strange that an extraordinary and plenipotentiary magistrate would not, regardless how long his term was. Are ancient politicians held to a different standard?
Secondly, I believe this would more than satisfy WP:GNG, meaning that WP:POL is merely a happy extra. Given the difference between modern and ancient sources, it is rare to have any information handed down in detail on individuals; there are quite simply far many famous people today than there were in the past. That said, in this case, though we have lost the primary source (Livy), the fact that a three line summary of that book of Livy (Periochae 19) mentions Gilcia would point towards a large role played in the narrative by him. Given the low number of names handed down, and the fact that this specific case was deemed important enough to be mentioned in a summary, could you please clarify how GNG affects Roman politicians. As this is an area of particular interest to me, this would be very useful.

Hello K.e.coffman,
I'd like to ask, why my article about Solar-PuTTY has been declined as being "advertisement" more than "neutral point of view". To be honest, I can't agree with this statement, as far as the article was written based on research upon the similar published articles (see articles about PuTTY, mintty, and WinSCP). The article has got a lot of hyperlinks into the Wikipedia itself, as well as 4 external references that leads to independent articles around the internet. I'd like to ask you to considering the fact that my article is more or less the same as articles already published and have a look at the review process once more. In the case, you still think that this article does not fit to Wikipedia standards, please, I'll be glad for any specific feedback (the current one is too general to use it for improvement).
Thanks, Ursus

Hello K.e.coffman.
I received your notice of speedy deletion of my draft page, Kastle Systems, which you feel violates Wikipedia Policy for promotional content. This is blatantly unfair and i suggest you take a look at these pages that Wikipedia happily allowed to be posted by some of our biggest competitors (ADT, Vivint, Honeywell, HID Global). Please explain to me what the difference between their post and what I created that you deemed ready for speedy delete. This seems like anti-competitive behavior on your part. Please explain.
