Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joie Chen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Afghanistan War ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Matthew, Thanks for taking time to edit my article on sailing development, Vietnam. Here is a short anecdote, just for interest, as i am not specialized in military history: At my father’s funeral it came out the Americans had put a lot of pressure on Britain to keep Singapore as a base for the Vietnam war. America being America, at that time said they did not like Communism. With Chinese communists in Indonesia, America did not want Indonesia to be part of the regional talks. Not surprisingly the Chinese communists in Indonesia were upset and wanted to retaliate. They picked on Sarawak as a newly formed state, and started the war of Konfrontasi. Britain wanted to keep the war quiet as they did not want to trigger another Vietnam War. Sarawak’s history had been relatively peaceful: A country given to a pirate or trader (James Brooke) by the Sultan of Brunei, if he could quell the fighting by a group of people the Iban. With Iban the strongest of approx. 20 different ethnic groups in Sarawak. (The woman who brought me up in my first few years was Iban, but I knew her as very calm and gentle.) Sarawak was passed down through the Brooke family. The grandchildren or great grandchildren did not want the country anymore in the 60s and wanted to move to New Zealand. They tried to give the country to Britain. This was at a time when Britain was trying to get rid of its colonies. My father had to help with independence. He was good with languages and spoke French, German, Cantonese and Iban. The first State Secretary who arrived to look after Sarawak was shot on arrival. My father was then asked to stand in as State Secretary, and he left the moment the country had settled down. It turns out a guest who arrived yesterday looked after the son of the man who was shot, and sent him through university and he now has 4 Master degrees.

Hi,
You moved my article on Ulrich Voigt to "Articles for Creation." I actually want that article to be part of Wikipedia (I know it wasn't before you moved it, but I think that had to do with the way I created it: when I created another article using the article wizard, it published it right away.) Can you move it to the "official" part of Wikipedia.

Actually, I don't think I can move it because my account is not four days old, but someone else moved it! Thanks for the advice anyway!

Hi Matthew! Thanks for your recent review of my new article on Ignatz Mühlwenzel. I certainly agree that notability should be a driving consideration. However, Ignatz Mühlwenzel already has an article in the German version of Wikipedia: [2]
Logically it seems that either the German article should be deleted because Mühlwenzel is not notable, or my English article should be accepted because Mühlwenzel is notable.
PS Mühlwenzel's main claim to fame is that his Ph.D. students and their students, etc. comprise thousands of mathematicians throughout history, so his notability is his influence on mathematics as a teacher.

Hi Matthew,
Still trying to get to grips with the Wikipedia editing process. Thanks for your comments on Andrew Paterson. Had to save the page last week without adding references, but have managed a few hours today to rectify that. Hope it is enough for verification purposes.
I have a portrait of Paterson to still upload (when I've read how to), and would like to create separate Wiki entries for his film "," the actors Evelyn Duguid and Tom Snowie, the Cameron's Comforts Fund, interiors photographer Andreas von Einsiedel, and the Scottish Highlander Photo Archive. Let me know if you feel they are warranted.
On another note, I notice the name General Robert Bellew Adams (in the list of some of Paterson's famous sitters) is coming up red and saying there isn't a Wiki entry for him. There must be some glitch in the linking system, because he can be found here: /info/en/?search=Robert_Bellew_Adams
Thanks again

Many thanks for your advice. Have added article titles to the referenced journals and sorted the Adams link problem.

Thanks for review of the page. I have replaced the reference links that went to the statutory pages with links to news coverage from various sources showing the role of the Bicycle Alliance in the legislation.
I added a couple of subheadings and a brief description of the Safe Routes to School Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Education program. Any other edits are minor formatting changes, punctuation and the like. I'll hit Resubmit on the page.
I hope with these changes the page is acceptable. If not, let me know and I'll do further work on it. BarbChamberlain ( talk) 23:09, 28 September 2013 (UTC)BarbChamberlain

Hi Matthew,
First, thank you for your review our the Binaytara Foundation wiki page. Your comments were very helpful. As you asked, I have added an addition 10 sources from reliable, 3rd parties. These include journals, news media, universities (University of Illinois), and major businesses (Cosco) that have interacted with the foundation. With these additions, I believe it meets the qualifications you asked I review. Can you please check? I would appreciate any other feedback you may have.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

Yes there are indeed many many articles about their working, remote free medical camps, and above is their official record which will confirm how many treatments/surgeries are done by RVOs in time. but that won't be relevant to cite in "Dr Vipin Brar" but if the statement does seem relevant to you then it has been removed.

Thank you, Matthew, for your reply regarding my entry on THM... I didn't expect to get feedback so soon, and have planned to work on it each day. I don't know if I'm posting this correctly because I haven't tried this before and it's totally different from posting anywhere else.
I saw the need for something about the Monthly because I'm working on the biography of Thomas Parker Sanborn, whose short life was highlighted by establishing this literary magazine with others who went on to do important things. I intend to do a good job on the article because I owe it to this dead poet who has stirred me up so much.
~~~~
at the end of your post.Again, thanks a lot. I am an older woman and while I can type and write in a semi-literate fashion and do research, the picky-part for me is all the code (even though it is easy-to-use code). Signing my name is something I spent an hour on and then gave up. I don't have access to a child to teach me anything... and everyone my age who is brave enough to have a computer only uses it for email and facebook. I've been working on Thomas Parker Sanborn since finding him in January and have information collected on the Monthly already-- including the purchase of the bound first two years, which I have read and picked-out all the "famous" people. I will see if signing this is as simple as typing Kathrynklos ( talk) 02:32, 8 October 2013 (UTC) Well, I guess it wasn't. My name is Kathryn Klos. I will figure out how to do that correctly, but it may take me a while :).
Thanks again. I don't easily ask for help (my generation of women was raised to stay quiet and not bother anyone, which is difficult to change)-- but nice to know help is there if needed. I find that I learn best by looking at how others have done things (created links and such) and then it's like Christmas when it actually works. When I actually got Thomas Parker Sanborn's picture on his Wikipedia entry I felt I'd resurrected him.-- Kathrynklos ( talk) 02:52, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello again. I tend to be picky about "loose ends" so have worked pretty hard on this piece, but have learned much-- not only about writing/editing for Wikipedia but about my sweet inspirational dead poet Tom Sanborn's legacy. I do hope to discover more "famous writers" who wrote for/were on the staff of THM and place their names in blue in this article. I'm also conscious of breaking-up an article with pictures and other devices, so am playing with that. I would really like to find an image of the Monthly editors, from any era, but don't see one listed in a Harvard images list on-line. I'll contact Harvard and maybe they'll tell me where I can look when I'm in the Boston area next July.-- Kathrynklos ( talk) 19:17, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

This submission has been declined for one or more of the following reasons:
- It is primarily designed to threaten, disparage or attack its subject.
- It is a biography of a living person that is unreferenced and entirely negative in tone.
- It is a page that is purely vandalistic in nature.

On 27 September 2013, the article 'Antisemitism in Spain' was accepted by you and was rated as Start-Class. According to the WikiProject article quality grading scheme, 'Start-Class' should be given to article 'that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources'. I must disagree with that statement regarding this article - It holds many reliable references from different respectful research institutions and researchers.

Hello Matthew
Regarding my article 'The Morris Quinlan Experience' which you declined a couple of hours ago.
I believe The MQE do infact satisfy criterion No 12, namely : 'Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.'
Loose Ends - a programme on national radio network BBC Radio 4 in UK is a programme which still runs today, and back in 2001 MQE not only featured as a substantial segment of the show, indeed their bit was repeated as part of the show's Pick Of The Year the following December. That is seriously notable if you happen to be in the UK.
Not only that, 6 plays on what is considered to be the most prestigious Alternative Rock programme ( Bob Harris) on the most listened to national radio network in the UK (ie BBC Radio 2) is more than very many 'household name' bands. I've modified the article to include 2 on-air quotes from Harris himself. Also, Bob Harris's playlists are archived online on his own site www.bobharris.org. Will citing references to the particular playlists in question help?
A review for the MQE's first album in The Times forms a further part of the MQE's claim to notability, but simply because that review can't be found online makes penalisation seem unjust
Furthermore, MQE musician/producer Dave Maughan notable album credits for his production/engineering work, specifically five Kathryn Williams albums, including one Mercury nominated, another a BBC Radio 2 Album Of The Week, and Maximo Park, another very notable UK band.
UK music technology magazine Sound On Sound made Dave Maughan the subject of a major article following the Kathryn Williams Mercury nomination, which also made references to MQE.

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

Hi Matthew, Thanks for taking time to edit my article on sailing development, Vietnam. Here is a short anecdote, just for interest, as i am not specialized in military history: At my father’s funeral it came out the Americans had put a lot of pressure on Britain to keep Singapore as a base for the Vietnam war. America being America, at that time said they did not like Communism. With Chinese communists in Indonesia, America did not want Indonesia to be part of the regional talks. Not surprisingly the Chinese communists in Indonesia were upset and wanted to retaliate. They picked on Sarawak as a newly formed state, and started the war of Konfrontasi. Britain wanted to keep the war quiet as they did not want to trigger another Vietnam War. Sarawak’s history had been relatively peaceful: A country given to a pirate or trader (James Brooke) by the Sultan of Brunei, if he could quell the fighting by a group of people the Iban. With Iban the strongest of approx. 20 different ethnic groups in Sarawak. (The woman who brought me up in my first few years was Iban, but I knew her as very calm and gentle.) Sarawak was passed down through the Brooke family. The grandchildren or great grandchildren did not want the country anymore in the 60s and wanted to move to New Zealand. They tried to give the country to Britain. This was at a time when Britain was trying to get rid of its colonies. My father had to help with independence. He was good with languages and spoke French, German, Cantonese and Iban. The first State Secretary who arrived to look after Sarawak was shot on arrival. My father was then asked to stand in as State Secretary, and he left the moment the country had settled down. It turns out a guest who arrived yesterday looked after the son of the man who was shot, and sent him through university and he now has 4 Master degrees.

Hi,
You moved my article on Ulrich Voigt to "Articles for Creation." I actually want that article to be part of Wikipedia (I know it wasn't before you moved it, but I think that had to do with the way I created it: when I created another article using the article wizard, it published it right away.) Can you move it to the "official" part of Wikipedia.

Hi Matthew! Thanks for your recent review of my new article on Ignatz Mühlwenzel. I certainly agree that notability should be a driving consideration. However, Ignatz Mühlwenzel already has an article in the German version of Wikipedia: [2]
Logically it seems that either the German article should be deleted because Mühlwenzel is not notable, or my English article should be accepted because Mühlwenzel is notable.
PS Mühlwenzel's main claim to fame is that his Ph.D. students and their students, etc. comprise thousands of mathematicians throughout history, so his notability is his influence on mathematics as a teacher.

Hi Matthew,
Still trying to get to grips with the Wikipedia editing process. Thanks for your comments on Andrew Paterson. Had to save the page last week without adding references, but have managed a few hours today to rectify that. Hope it is enough for verification purposes.
I have a portrait of Paterson to still upload (when I've read how to), and would like to create separate Wiki entries for his film "," the actors Evelyn Duguid and Tom Snowie, the Cameron's Comforts Fund, interiors photographer Andreas von Einsiedel, and the Scottish Highlander Photo Archive. Let me know if you feel they are warranted.
On another note, I notice the name General Robert Bellew Adams (in the list of some of Paterson's famous sitters) is coming up red and saying there isn't a Wiki entry for him. There must be some glitch in the linking system, because he can be found here: /info/en/?search=Robert_Bellew_Adams

Thanks for review of the page. I have replaced the reference links that went to the statutory pages with links to news coverage from various sources showing the role of the Bicycle Alliance in the legislation.
I added a couple of subheadings and a brief description of the Safe Routes to School Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Education program. Any other edits are minor formatting changes, punctuation and the like. I'll hit Resubmit on the page.

First, thank you for your review our the Binaytara Foundation wiki page. Your comments were very helpful. As you asked, I have added an addition 10 sources from reliable, 3rd parties. These include journals, news media, universities (University of Illinois), and major businesses (Cosco) that have interacted with the foundation. With these additions, I believe it meets the qualifications you asked I review. Can you please check? I would appreciate any other feedback you may have.

Yes there are indeed many many articles about their working, remote free medical camps, and above is their official record which will confirm how many treatments/surgeries are done by RVOs in time. but that won't be relevant to cite in "Dr Vipin Brar" but if the statement does seem relevant to you then it has been removed.

Thank you, Matthew, for your reply regarding my entry on THM... I didn't expect to get feedback so soon, and have planned to work on it each day. I don't know if I'm posting this correctly because I haven't tried this before and it's totally different from posting anywhere else.
I saw the need for something about the Monthly because I'm working on the biography of Thomas Parker Sanborn, whose short life was highlighted by establishing this literary magazine with others who went on to do important things. I intend to do a good job on the article because I owe it to this dead poet who has stirred me up so much.
~~~~
at the end of your post.Again, thanks a lot. I am an older woman and while I can type and write in a semi-literate fashion and do research, the picky-part for me is all the code (even though it is easy-to-use code). Signing my name is something I spent an hour on and then gave up. I don't have access to a child to teach me anything... and everyone my age who is brave enough to have a computer only uses it for email and facebook. I've been working on Thomas Parker Sanborn since finding him in January and have information collected on the Monthly already-- including the purchase of the bound first two years, which I have read and picked-out all the "famous" people. I will see if signing this is as simple as typing Kathrynklos ( talk) 02:32, 8 October 2013 (UTC) Well, I guess it wasn't. My name is Kathryn Klos. I will figure out how to do that correctly, but it may take me a while :).
Thanks again. I don't easily ask for help (my generation of women was raised to stay quiet and not bother anyone, which is difficult to change)-- but nice to know help is there if needed. I find that I learn best by looking at how others have done things (created links and such) and then it's like Christmas when it actually works. When I actually got Thomas Parker Sanborn's picture on his Wikipedia entry I felt I'd resurrected him.-- Kathrynklos ( talk) 02:52, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello again. I tend to be picky about "loose ends" so have worked pretty hard on this piece, but have learned much-- not only about writing/editing for Wikipedia but about my sweet inspirational dead poet Tom Sanborn's legacy. I do hope to discover more "famous writers" who wrote for/were on the staff of THM and place their names in blue in this article. I'm also conscious of breaking-up an article with pictures and other devices, so am playing with that. I would really like to find an image of the Monthly editors, from any era, but don't see one listed in a Harvard images list on-line. I'll contact Harvard and maybe they'll tell me where I can look when I'm in the Boston area next July.-- Kathrynklos ( talk) 19:17, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

On 27 September 2013, the article 'Antisemitism in Spain' was accepted by you and was rated as Start-Class. According to the WikiProject article quality grading scheme, 'Start-Class' should be given to article 'that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources'.

Hello Matthew
Regarding my article 'The Morris Quinlan Experience' which you declined a couple of hours ago.
I believe The MQE do infact satisfy criterion No 12, namely : 'Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.'
Loose Ends - a programme on national radio network BBC Radio 4 in UK is a programme which still runs today, and back in 2001 MQE not only featured as a substantial segment of the show, indeed their bit was repeated as part of the show's Pick Of The Year the following December. That is seriously notable if you happen to be in the UK.
Not only that, 6 plays on what is considered to be the most prestigious Alternative Rock programme ( Bob Harris) on the most listened to national radio network in the UK (ie BBC Radio 2) is more than very many 'household name' bands. I've modified the article to include 2 on-air quotes from Harris himself. Also, Bob Harris's playlists are archived online on his own site www.bobharris.org. Will citing references to the particular playlists in question help?
A review for the MQE's first album in The Times forms a further part of the MQE's claim to notability, but simply because that review can't be found online makes penalisation seem unjust
Furthermore, MQE musician/producer Dave Maughan notable album credits for his production/engineering work, specifically five Kathryn Williams albums, including one Mercury nominated, another a BBC Radio 2 Album Of The Week, and Maximo Park, another very notable UK band.
UK music technology magazine Sound On Sound made Dave Maughan the subject of a major article following the Kathryn Williams Mercury nomination, which also made references to MQE.
