Hi Matthew, thanks for approving Temple of Peace (Toowong Cemetery).
I love editing and creating articles on Wikipedia but when it comes to all the technical side of doing some things I am useless. Maybe one day I will be able to sit down with someone who is in the know and pick up a few hints!Rocketrod1960 00:54, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi Matthew, regarding, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Barrack_Point,_New_South_Wales
Barrack Point and Barrack Heights are two different suburbs (Barrack Point is even mentioned in the Barrack Heights article) Barrack Point is smaller than Barrack Heights and contains a caravan park. Also Barrack Point is on the coast line, Barrack Heights is not. For prove, here is Google Maps: https://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=barrack+point&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x6b131470f5c97f2b:0x5017d681632e0f0,Barrack+Point+NSW&gl=au&ei=vF-GUI-1FbCSiAelkYDwDQ&ved=0CHIQtgM
Hopefully that clears everything up :)
Cheers, Nikachu88

Hi Matthew
Thank you for taking the time to evaluate my submission for an article on Joanna Louise Baker.
I admire wikipedia greatly for it's dedication to standards of evidence and truth, I am on your side, I think these things actually matter. My mistake may by that I had intended this page to be a simple biographical page which would link into pages for each of her three main books which would have more external links and therefore evidence. This article is written about my sister. All evidential material has been lost since her death in difficult circumstances (I have done extensive researching to try and dig up more information), so I doubt whether I have the slightest chance to meet the requirements to adequately evidence the subject's notability you point out. One of my hopes is that by getting a basic factual page up online more of this evidence will become visible over time. This woman co-wrote a series of books that is still in print after a decade and is being used around the world in specifically difficult developing country contexts to empower teachers with limited access to resources. Should I just take everything out except her writing credits? I need your help.
Many Thanks Steve Kerr — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hendon Runner ( talk • contribs) 17:19, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
I was just wondering if I could get some advice about the iDMAa article I submitted on my sandbox. I modeled the article on several other articles written about similar arts organizations with similar citing styles, including Siggraph. I have just categorized the article as a art / arts organization stub, because I want to put it up in order for other people to add references and information to it? Is this the best course of action? What else can I do to the article to make it verifiable?

Hi, thanks for your note about my helping on Granville Fuller House article development. I think you're doing a great thing in helping deliver a good experience to a tentative, new wikipedia editor. But, as i have noted at the published article's talk page, there remain problems. My attention to all this was from your posting at wt:NRHP, where another editor noted the copyvio problem. I tried to suggest the problem mildly at the AFC. I am afraid the new editor is gonna get a bad experience when the article is identified publicly as a copyvio, which would be justified if any editor wants to identify it. I dunno, i think you are responsible now, to edit the article to remove the copyvio/plagiarism, since you promoted it. Sorry not to be more positive. I do think you are doing great to participate in RFC and you have me a bit interested in helping in that arena, too. -- do ncr am 22:15, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

While independent sourcing is good, I can see no real issue if both teams say that it is their longest standing rivalry,or something similar. I think we need to be careful about allowing our policies which are there to protect us from charlatans and self-publicists, among others, to prevent us creating good well sourced content.

Thanks for the addition about the documentary. Sometimes I find the notability guidelines frustrating that teams with a reasonable history like this one are borderline because they have never risen above tier 7 of the FA but some hip-hop singer who had one week in the top 100 and number 99 is an 'automatic' notable.

Hi Matthew looking some advice on improving page about band Lulubelle III, they are being played again next week on BBC 6Music and the playlist pages uses Wikipedia for biographical info.

Matthew, thanks for all your help, and I wish you a pleasant break.
Recently you removed a reference note from the Neohumanism article on grounds of WP:OR, suggesting that it was my original research. The note read: "From this emphasis on utility value, the normative philosophy of utilitarianism, perhaps an extension of consequentialism, emerged. It may also be noted that not all utilitarian or consequentialist philosophers have argued solely in terms of the pleasure and pain of humans. Jeremy Bentham and more recently Peter Singer are notable exceptions to that rule." What I don't understand here is that everything in that note is consistent with and substantiated by the Wikipedia links that I have given. I am not convinced that original research should be a crime, but - regardless of that - what is "original" here? Furthermore, in this footnote I am presenting an impartial point as I am not a supporter of utilitarianism or the parties mentioned. So I am confused. Why remove the reference note?

Hi MatthewVanitas,
I see you recently redirected National Islamic Front of Afghanistan to Mahaz-e Milli. This issue has been discussed already at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mahazamili, and the consensus was to use the english name. Unfortunately, until now no-one had taken the logical step of merging the two articles accordingly. Would it be possible for you to merge the content into National Islamic Front of Afghanistan instead? -- Raoulduke47 ( talk) 15:18, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi Matthew,
Thanks for all of your suggestions and editing help. It's great to see my article has finally made it onto Wikipedia. However, I wondered if it was possible to change the title, so that it does say Lieutenant George Willoughby, rather than just having George Willoughby (soldier). The reason why is because people interested in him cannot find him unless they put that specific search in and if they only put 'George Dobson' a Quaker comes up. Could this be changed do you think? I seem unable to edit that part.....
Many thanks Katzeaugen Katzeaugen ( talk) 12:17, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
#REDIRECT [[George Willoughby (soldier)]]
. That will create a "redirect" so anyone searching that term will arrive at your page. You could do the same, if you like, with as many reasonable variants of his name as you see fit (
Lieutenant Willoughby, etc). Hope this helps!

Matthew--a great name, also my 11-year-old son's name!
Thank you for your review of my page on Fraternal Benefit Societies. I see that you have rejected its submission due to other similar pages--which I suspected might happen, because at first glance, Fraternal Benefit Societies often appear to be mutual organizations, etc., which they really are not.
In fact, searches for Fraternal Benefit Society link directly to Mutual Organizations page; however this is not what a benefit socieity is, further confusing the issue to the average reader--which is exactly what I tried to dispel by writing this page.
The closest page that already exists on Wikipedia related to Fraternal Benefit Societies is "Friendly Societies," but the tone of this page is historical, as if these types of organizations are archaic and no longer exist, when Ninalill ( talk) 17:58, 8 November 2012 (UTC)they are vital, non-profit businesses and organizations that sell financial products geared toward middle income people. They are largely "fraternal life insurers" but also sell annuities and other products in some cases. But unlike commercial life insurers, they invest profits back into the communities they serve through community service projects, scholarships, etc. They are not credit unions, social clubs like the Moose or Elks, or Greek fraternity houses on college campuses--all misconceptions that fraternal organizations are trying very hard to correct.
How do we resolve this? Trying to edit any of these pages "Friendly Societies," "Mutual organizations" and "Benefit Society" would largely result in me effectively overwriting the their content, which I'm sure Wiki doesn't want me to do. But to try to just tweak what they have would not accomplish getting the news out about Fratneral Benefit Societies as they exist today.
What do you suggest? Thank you so much again for your kind attention to this matter.
Best Regards,
Nina Lill

Hey Matthew
Thank you for your response which I fully understand. My only desire to rush was to show it to my 93 year old mother before she dies. But we can exclude that and as you say, take my time sorting out a good article. I'm not 'emotional' about it but my mother is the one with all the information as it's her mother, so my grandmother!
But the family art history is deeper than that, 2 really really old relations are in BENZIT and have paintings in museums as does my grandmother come to that.
It's just that no one has ever bothered to get the info out onto Wikipedia. So I'm gonna try. So you know, I love Wikipedia and recently made a donation.
Ok onwards nice and slowly

Thanks Matthew! I checked under your link Cluedo#Other_Games, and I found that it already had the game, listed under Clue Junior: The Case of the Missing Cake. So, I guess I don't need to change anything there. Thanks again - B. Jakob T. ( talk) 15:57, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
While independent sourcing is good, I can see no real issue if both teams say that it is their longest standing rivalry,or something similar. I think we need to be careful about allowing our policies which are there to protect us from charlatans and self-publicists, among others, to prevent us creating good well sourced content. All the best,

Hi Mathew, Can you please look at the Andreas Georgiou Thomas article and let me know what you think. I appreciate the fact that some people cannot speak or read Greek but that does not detract from my efforts to find references that attest to Thomas as important to Cyprus" Education, literature and the Scout Movement. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Christos Evangeli ( talk) 09:49, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the addition about the documentary. Sometimes I find the notability guidelines frustrating that teams with a reasonable history like this one are borderline because they have never risen above tier 7 of the FA but some hip-hop singer who had one week in the top 100 and number 99 is an 'automatic' notable. I'm hoping that Waterbeach once played in the FA Cup, just needs to be the once to cross the same threshold. NtheP ( talk) 10:37, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jivdhan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Famous 5 ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi Matthew looking some advice on improving page about band Lulubelle III, they are being played again next week on BBC 6Music and the playlist pages uses Wikipedia for biographical info. They are also due to get an interview on BBC Radio Foyle at the end of this month and I iamgine they will also build their playlist that way too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicfan1812 ( talk • contribs) 19:44, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
Matthew, thanks for all your help, and I wish you a pleasant break.
Recently you removed a reference note from the Neohumanism article on grounds of WP:OR, suggesting that it was my original research. The note read: "From this emphasis on utility value, the normative philosophy of utilitarianism, perhaps an extension of consequentialism, emerged. It may also be noted that not all utilitarian or consequentialist philosophers have argued solely in terms of the pleasure and pain of humans. Jeremy Bentham and more recently Peter Singer are notable exceptions to that rule." What I don't understand here is that everything in that note is consistent with and substantiated by the Wikipedia links that I have given. I am not convinced that original research should be a crime, but - regardless of that - what is "original" here? Furthermore, in this footnote I am presenting an impartial point as I am not a supporter of utilitarianism or the parties mentioned. So I am confused. Why remove the reference note?

Matthew, thanks for your help. This article need to be changed to make it more adherent to the rules of WP. When it'll possible for me I'll try adding some changes. It's a big work because the author was very prolific. Recently You removed the Photo of Subash Chandra Bose (that I've inserted months ago) from the related article.

Hi MatthewVanitas,
I see you recently redirected National Islamic Front of Afghanistan to Mahaz-e Milli. This issue has been discussed already at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mahazamili, and the consensus was to use the english name. Unfortunately, until now no-one had taken the logical step of merging the two articles accordingly. Would it be possible for you to merge the content into National Islamic Front of Afghanistan instead? -- Raoulduke47 ( talk) 15:18, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi Matthew,
Thanks for all of your suggestions and editing help. It's great to see my article has finally made it onto Wikipedia. However, I wondered if it was possible to change the title, so that it does say Lieutenant George Willoughby, rather than just having George Willoughby (soldier). The reason why is because people interested in him cannot find him unless they put that specific search in and if they only put 'George Dobson' a Quaker comes up. Could this be changed do you think? I seem unable to edit that part.....
Many thanks Katzeaugen Katzeaugen ( talk) 12:17, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
#REDIRECT [[George Willoughby (soldier)]]
. That will create a "redirect" so anyone searching that term will arrive at your page. You could do the same, if you like, with as many reasonable variants of his name as you see fit (
Lieutenant Willoughby, etc). Hope this helps!

Hello, thank you for your feedback. I will continue to work on the page. As for sources, I can look for more sources to verify the information on Dr. Wilde, but The Society has been formed recently and does not have credible publicity other than locally within NJC. I am one of the cofounders of The Society, would I be able to site myself or other members of The Society on the mission statements and structuring of the group? If so, how can I go about doing this?

Matthew--a great name, also my 11-year-old son's name!
Thank you for your review of my page on Fraternal Benefit Societies. I see that you have rejected its submission due to other similar pages--which I suspected might happen, because at first glance, Fraternal Benefit Societies often appear to be mutual organizations, etc., which they really are not.
In fact, searches for Fraternal Benefit Society link directly to Mutual Organizations page; however this is not what a benefit socieity is, further confusing the issue to the average reader--which is exactly what I tried to dispel by writing this page.
The closest page that already exists on Wikipedia related to Fraternal Benefit Societies is "Friendly Societies," but the tone of this page is historical, as if these types of organizations are archaic and no longer exist, when Ninalill ( talk) 17:58, 8 November 2012 (UTC)they are vital, non-profit businesses and organizations that sell financial products geared toward middle income people. They are largely "fraternal life insurers" but also sell annuities and other products in some cases. But unlike commercial life insurers, they invest profits back into the communities they serve through community service projects, scholarships, etc. They are not credit unions, social clubs like the Moose or Elks, or Greek fraternity houses on college campuses--all misconceptions that fraternal organizations are trying very hard to correct.
How do we resolve this? Trying to edit any of these pages "Friendly Societies," "Mutual organizations" and "Benefit Society" would largely result in me effectively overwriting the their content, which I'm sure Wiki doesn't want me to do. But to try to just tweak what they have would not accomplish getting the news out about Fratneral Benefit Societies as they exist today.
What do you suggest? Thank you so much again for your kind attention to this matter.
Best Regards,
Nina Lill

Hey Matthew
Thank you for your response which I fully understand. My only desire to rush was to show it to my 93 year old mother before she dies. But we can exclude that and as you say, take my time sorting out a good article. I'm not 'emotional' about it but my mother is the one with all the information as it's her mother, so my grandmother!
But the family art history is deeper than that, 2 really really old relations are in BENZIT and have paintings in museums as does my grandmother come to that.
It's just that no one has ever bothered to get the info out onto Wikipedia. So I'm gonna try. So you know, I love Wikipedia and recently made a donation.
Ok onwards nice and slowly

Thanks for the feedback on the Terasem Movement article. There are a couple points I was on the fence about when I started out to write this piece.

Specifically adding pictures. I'm not sure how to do that. Usually I look at articles that have features I want and see how they're done, then try to copy the format. I can't figure out how pictures are added or embedded in the articles, though. I've looked at the directions, but I'm not conversant yet with the nomenclature used to understand exactly what to do. I started the piece on the Leesburg Transfer Company in the Sandbox because I couldn't see a tab that let me create an article. It's there, I'm sure- but when I was looking for it I couldn't find it.
