I see you wrote - from your own edit logs - that you gave my article ( 1939 strange noise over Brooklyn) the thumbs down on my talk page before you got around to the article itself. How very noble and quick to make a decision.
So much for the "encyclopdia that anyone can edit" when it has self appointed morons like you doing the "yays and nays".
Seriously though I am gob smacked at the process going on here, because you claim:
1. "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources."
Right so the
New York Times is not a reliable source then? The same paper that has won 112
Pulitzer Prizes, more than any other news organization and is one of America's most popular newspapers?? What kind of argument is that?
2." While doumentation of the original event is a good start, to demonstrate a long-term significance you need to show later articles (news or academic) which comment about the past event. Are there books or academic papers on, say, meteorological phenomenon, conspiracy theories, etc. which refer to and discuss the impact of this event? You need to show that this is not simply a thing that happened and drew momentary attention and was never paid attention to again after that".
Put simply what a load of
WP:IDL. This event was reported in the New York Times. Are you seriously - as to being so much into your own ego - questioning this paper's editorial judgement? That this is not noteworthy enough? Its report states:
There was terror in the Brooklyn air last night [Jan. 9]. It caused the greatest mass fright since the too- real broadcast of a ‘‘Martian Invasion’’ but there is no indictment against the radio this time — in fact the mystery is as enveloping as was the terror. A weird noise, called by some ‘‘a big noise’’ that ‘‘flew, like a cloud’’ over Queens, raised hair and goose flesh on burghers in several wards. It was a vibrating sound like that of a distant airplane. It increased in intensity and pitch until it drowned out the rumble of traffic and all but muffled the wail of police sirens. Then the noise faded to a distant purr.
So a mass panic in two NYC borough's is not notable enough then? Really! If you think that then, you're more ego than brains. The fact is something happened and the New York Times thought it worthy of a mention. But incredibly making a remark on this to Wikipedia is not worthy of a mention. Wikipedia editors think themselves bigger and better than the New York Times. Now that is cringeworthy.
3. So much for this site's assumption of
WP:GF. More like bending the rules to fit the case that fits the editor. I am not making the claim the New York Times did. But apparently that - for this purpose - is not a reliable source. GTFOH!
So it's not hard to see now why this whole site is sliding slowly up its own backside when self-appointed people such as yourself, make snap judgements based on their own woeful ignorance and lack of ability. But hey, don't shout at me. Take this up with the news desk at the New York Times because they're now classed as an unreliable source, making claims that are unverifiable.
I will just conclude by reminding you of how pathetic I think you are, and how, IMO you should focus on what you can do and leave the challenging stuff to people who have the capacity to understand, expand and move forward. 81.129.204.120 ( talk) 21:31, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
I know this is probably very obvious but how do I 'review template'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mary McGarry ( talk • contribs) 22:49, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
{{AFC submission}}
. But for your current draft I've already fixed it for you. Just hit the green button when ready (and your draft is not reading at the moment due to lack of
WP:Sourcing). And if you are declined or delayed, make sure you don't remove the templates at top, because you need them to hit "Resubmit" when ready for your second and follow-on reviews. But definitely read the Notability policy I linked at the top, since you must demonstrate outside/objective/independent coverage of this organisation in order for the article to pass.

Hi Matthew
You have just declined my contribution on Chris King Robinson, could you please let me know whether you require more info/sources or simply do not consider him worthy of entry as yet?
To clarify he is without doubt the most followed blues guitarist on twitter, and the second most followed guitarist behind Slash, his first self produced track hit number one on itunes and amazon blues charts, is this not enough for entry, if so we'll re-apply in the future
Thanks
Mark Rob33cinema ( talk) 15:23, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Matthew Yes thanks I have just read through it Not sure if he qualifies but he has been featured severasl times in the local newspapers, he has been interviewed and featured in blues magazines, and dozens of online blogs and of course is massively popular on twitter I'll try and attach links of these onto the page
Thanks
Matthew,
That's great. I have literally reams of material on Yan Li. The two sources cited are my own book and a book chapter. Of course, I can provide page numbers, and additional sources academic and non.
This, by the way, just the beginning of a series of pages I hope to put up about contemporary Chinese artists and poets. I've only just discovered that these pages do not exist in English, despite there being considerable following for each in English speaking environments around the world (not to mention other locations-languages, but unfortunately I'm not proficient in more than two). I do therefore believe Wikipedia pages would be useful. By name, in case you're curious: Lo Ch'ing (Luo Qing 羅青), Hsia Yu (Xia Yu 夏宇), Zhong Biao (钟飙).
Thanks again for your help. I'll keep editing until you think its good to go.

Hi Matthew,
It said that -
This submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. What you can do: Add citations (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners) to secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject.
What references are we talking about?
Thanks and much appreciated.

I've tried to clarify why the BVRLA is notable. I have done this by including the research published by Oxford Economics on why it is important to the UK, and included coverage on the Association by media such as the BBC, Fleet News, Business Car Manager and Leasing Life.

Dear Matthew Vanitas,
Good Day as I hope this message find you well.
The fact that, It comes to my attention that, you had not approved my article addressed to ( Bawabat Makkah Co. ( Western Suburb )which you can found it on the below address :
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Bawabat_Makkah_Co._(_Western_Suburb_).
Let me explain to you, the fact that I am beginner, and this is the first time that I publish an article, and I had tried my best to follow the publishing instructions and support my article with any reference available, but unfortunately since our project is in the beginning stages and we are currently working in develop our website then we can support this article with all reference that needs.
On the other hand, I highly appreciate your usual support and understanding the importance of our article, which is review one of the most important mega development project in Holy Makkah ( K.S.A ) and will gives non-Arab and non-Musilms an idea about such as huge projects that will change the fact of Holy Makkah specifically in urban development view..
Matthew, I need your support to approve my article soonest possible, and I am sure now you aware about my reasons and the difficulty in supporing my article with trustful references.
Kindly let me know about your final decision shortly, and sorry for the low level performance in English typing ).
All the best

Hello, This is in reference to the page /info/en/?search=User:Gregoryleathrum/List_of_Trails_in_McDonald-Dunn_Forest that you reviewed. We were building this page in the hope of creating sub-pages with information about many of the trails. (pictures, history, etc.) We wanted the McDonald-Dunn Forest page (which is now a page about many state forests in Oregon) to include a link to this new page. What is the best way to go about doing this? We wanted to create this reference page first before creating the sub-pages. Is it a better idea to have one large page with each trail as a different section? If so, in this case, that page could be rather sizable. We have done a lot of research into the McDonald-Dunn forest system and have personally hiked most of the trails and have pictures and other facts about these trails that we have gathered. Your recommendation was to enhance (or in this case, create) a page about McDonald-Dunn Forest, but if all this information is included, that page would also be rather sizable. This is our first time creating a Wikipedia page (obviously) - any insights on the best approach for this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Gregoryleathrum ( talk) 18:33, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Hope I'm doing this right! Thank you Matthew for the highly helpful edits and suggestions you gave, which helped me get my first Wikipedia article published today!

Best to you.
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Geremia da Montagnone, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Humanist ( 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.

Great. Hi. First, let me say that actually posting the chapter publicly was completely accidental - I didn't even know I had. I certainly didn't mean to, as it wasn't finished - I'm surprised I could even do it without first submitting it for approval. So I'm sorry. I have to say, thought, that I wish you had assumed it was an accident instead of jumping all over me, you made me feel really badly as I certainly wasn't trying to work around you.
And thank you for your thoughtful comments and suggestions. I will re-work it. A question: do I resend it to you, or just resubmit for approval in general.
One more question: I am of course in complete agreement that what was published should come down. Is there anything I can do to hurry that along? Or will just doing nothing at this point accomplish the same thing?

Matthew,
Please reconsider declining my submission of the article for Hansa Language Centre.
Hansa Language Centre is a school. The google maps and their website prove that. Its inclusion in government bodies regulating education also proves that it is a school.
Any other information included in the article that is not available on their own webpage, such as the history of the company starting in Quebec, is information I gathered directly from the director of the school. There is not much content of this nature in the article, most of what is included is verifiable through their own website or the websites of the affiliations they are members of.
For reference, please see these other private schools that have accepted Wiki articles and note that they do not have any other or more extensive citations than the ones I've provided for the article on Hansa Language Centre:
/info/en/?search=International_Language_Academy_of_Canada
/info/en/?search=Associated_Hebrew_Schools_of_Toronto
/info/en/?search=Bayview_Glen_School
/info/en/?search=Metropolitan_Preparatory_Academy
/info/en/?search=Toronto_New_School
If there is anything that you think is in dispute and needs further verification, please tell me specifically what needs to be verified. I'm very surprised by your declining of this submission as there is no controversial content in the article.

But definitely read the Notability policy I linked at the top, since you must demonstrate outside/objective/independent coverage of this organisation in order for the article to pass.

Hi Matthew, I know you said that this was not the way to reply to a message but I did reply to your last message but I don't think it was sent properly!!, just to say thanks for info as it was very informative, my intention is not to advertise as TCSI is entirely altruistic in its nature, I will take a break now and take on board what you said, I've read so many wikipedia's I never thought about what was involved before!

Hi Matthew
You have just declined my contribution on Chris King Robinson, could you please let me know whether you require more info/sources or simply do not consider him worthy of entry as yet?
To clarify he is without doubt the most followed blues guitarist on twitter, and the second most followed guitarist behind Slash, his first self produced track hit number one on itunes and amazon blues charts, is this not enough for entry, if so we'll re-apply in the future
Thanks

Hi Matthew Yes thanks I have just read through it Not sure if he qualifies but he has been featured severasl times in the local newspapers, he has been interviewed and featured in blues magazines, and dozens of online blogs and of course is massively popular on twitter I'll try and attach links of these onto the page
Thanks
Matthew,
That's great. I have literally reams of material on Yan Li. The two sources cited are my own book and a book chapter. Of course, I can provide page numbers, and additional sources academic and non.
This, by the way, just the beginning of a series of pages I hope to put up about contemporary Chinese artists and poets. I've only just discovered that these pages do not exist in English, despite there being considerable following for each in English speaking environments around the world (not to mention other locations-languages, but unfortunately I'm not proficient in more than two). I do therefore believe Wikipedia pages would be useful. By name, in case you're curious: Lo Ch'ing (Luo Qing 羅青), Hsia Yu (Xia Yu 夏宇), Zhong Biao (钟飙).
Thanks again for your help. I'll keep editing until you think its good to go.

Hi Matthew,
I've tried to clarify why the BVRLA is notable. I have done this by including the research published by Oxford Economics on why it is important to the UK, and included coverage on the Association by media such as the BBC, Fleet News, Business Car Manager and Leasing Life.

Dear Matthew Vanitas,
Good Day as I hope this message find you well.
The fact that, It comes to my attention that, you had not approved my article addressed to ( Bawabat Makkah Co. ( Western Suburb )which you can found it on the below address :
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Bawabat_Makkah_Co._(_Western_Suburb_).
Let me explain to you, the fact that I am beginner, and this is the first time that I publish an article, and I had tried my best to follow the publishing instructions and support my article with any reference available, but unfortunately since our project is in the beginning stages and we are currently working in develop our website then we can support this article with all reference that needs.
On the other hand, I highly appreciate your usual support and understanding the importance of our article, which is review one of the most important mega development project in Holy Makkah ( K.S.A ) and will gives non-Arab and non-Musilms an idea about such as huge projects that will change the fact of Holy Makkah specifically in urban development view..
Matthew, I need your support to approve my article soonest possible, and I am sure now you aware about my reasons and the difficulty in supporing my article with trustful references.
Kindly let me know about your final decision shortly, and sorry for the low level performance in English typing ).
All the best

Hello, This is in reference to the page /info/en/?search=User:Gregoryleathrum/List_of_Trails_in_McDonald-Dunn_Forest that you reviewed. We were building this page in the hope of creating sub-pages with information about many of the trails. (pictures, history, etc.) We wanted the McDonald-Dunn Forest page (which is now a page about many state forests in Oregon) to include a link to this new page. What is the best way to go about doing this? We wanted to create this reference page first before creating the sub-pages. Is it a better idea to have one large page with each trail as a different section? If so, in this case, that page could be rather sizable. We have done a lot of research into the McDonald-Dunn forest system and have personally hiked most of the trails and have pictures and other facts about these trails that we have gathered. Your recommendation was to enhance (or in this case, create) a page about McDonald-Dunn Forest, but if all this information is included, that page would also be rather sizable. This is our first time creating a Wikipedia page (obviously) - any insights on the best approach for this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Gregoryleathrum ( talk) 18:33, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Hope I'm doing this right! Thank you Matthew for the highly helpful edits and suggestions you gave, which helped me get my first Wikipedia article published today! ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Yury_G._Kronn) As a newbie, I appreciate that you went above and beyond with assistance in the form of really clear directions--and a lot of patience. Best to you.
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Geremia da Montagnone, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Humanist ( 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.

Great. Hi. First, let me say that actually posting the chapter publicly was completely accidental - I didn't even know I had. I certainly didn't mean to, as it wasn't finished - I'm surprised I could even do it without first submitting it for approval. So I'm sorry. I have to say, thought, that I wish you had assumed it was an accident instead of jumping all over me, you made me feel really badly as I certainly wasn't trying to work around you.
And thank you for your thoughtful comments and suggestions. I will re-work it. A question: do I resend it to you, or just resubmit for approval in general.
One more question: I am of course in complete agreement that what was published should come down. Is there anything I can do to hurry that along? Or will just doing nothing at this point accomplish the same thing?

Matthew,
Please reconsider declining my submission of the article for Hansa Language Centre.
Hansa Language Centre is a school. The google maps and their website prove that. Its inclusion in government bodies regulating education also proves that it is a school.
Any other information included in the article that is not available on their own webpage, such as the history of the company starting in Quebec, is information I gathered directly from the director of the school. There is not much content of this nature in the article, most of what is included is verifiable through their own website or the websites of the affiliations they are members of.
For reference, please see these other private schools that have accepted Wiki articles and note that they do not have any other or more extensive citations than the ones I've provided for the article on Hansa Language Centre:
/info/en/?search=International_Language_Academy_of_Canada
/info/en/?search=Associated_Hebrew_Schools_of_Toronto
/info/en/?search=Bayview_Glen_School
/info/en/?search=Metropolitan_Preparatory_Academy
/info/en/?search=Toronto_New_School
If there is anything that you think is in dispute and needs further verification, please tell me specifically what needs to be verified. I'm very surprised by your declining of this submission as there is no controversial content in the article.

Matthew,
Thank you for reviewing my submission so quickly. This is my first time creating a page, and I clearly don't have a full grasp of how this works.
I gather the page was rejected because it did not meet "minimum criteria for inline citations". I've read through the guide and can't quite pinpoint where I"m off the mark. Could you clarify?
Thanks!
