Hi there,
Thanks for your work at WP:AFC. I just noticed User:TiffJack/sandbox, a student supported by Wiki Ed who appears to have mistakenly submitted her sandbox to AfC. It's an issue we hope to have addressed as of yesterday, when we turned on a bot, RagesossBot, which populates student sandboxes with Template:Student sandbox, instead of the default Template:User sandbox, with its attractive "submit this draft for review" button :) In the meantime, it may happen a few more times as students who already created their sandbox experiment, so I apologize in advance for any hassle that presents for you. I have a question, though: what are the rules concerning whether I can just remove the Template:AFC submission and Template:AFC comment, replacing everything with a Student sandbox template (basically a "takeback" of an erroneous button-push so he or she doesn't feel like they did something wrong)? -- Ryan (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 16:27, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bilston Town Hall, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page West Midlands. 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.

Hello Matthew,
I just received a decline on my WIKI but would like to know more specifically where I need more reliable sources. I would like your help on how I can improve this article please.

Thanks for your reply Matthew, yes it does make a lot of sense and I have read the guide and will continue. I am a Theatre Reviewer and reviewing is very much about personal embellishment. So I clearly need to take a very different, matter of fact approach.
I will do my best. Thanks again. WriteaboutArt ( talk) 01:08, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

I require more of an overview of exactly where the term 'lexical' needs to be clarified such that your use of it to justify a word in the English language does not include the assumption that doing so simply determines its validity without first establishing merit.
Just because lexical more specifically relates to taxonomical structure, when further explaining what it means to be an 'English word without a vowel' you cannot continue to claim that old-English standards should still be considered enough to substantiate modern credibility. They are not.
To allow the above mentioned views to formulate the basis of establishing presence is to improperly prioritize a clearly defined parameter of definition based on cultural preference. A word must either reflect the culture to which it belongs or fail to adhere to an adequate degree of responsible regulation. The moral implications of cross-cultural contamination with regard to an abundance of terms using letters like q, x and z for example contribute to its loss of identity.
A moral sense of obligation when establishing these limitations speaks to a level of maturity that is quite capable of incorporating modern definitions of something like an 'acronym' into the English mainstream by using an appropriate distinction. Re-approaching the methodology behind maintaining the integrity of a language also enables one to re-asses the scale of change that might be necessary in order to adequately maneuver through every incremental pass.
I had further intended to draw attention to another discrepancy over the use of the term 'class' verses 'category'. This is once again something that requires re-purposing from either a bottom up or top down perspective to the extent that doing so results in structural consistency, and I currently lack an empirical analysis of range within your construct. In addition, I would have to re-assemble all citations in order to reflect an adequate consensus - Knowing that an important aspect of differentiation also means relating to a generational sense of comprehension.
A final note... The complexity of multifaceted arrangements underlying linguistic terminology should not permit a spelling mistake to exist as a brand new word by default at any position in Wikipedia's flow-chart, regardless of the ease with which it has become to assume the right to do so. For example, to the best of my knowledge the letter 'w' has never before been credited with belonging to our set of vowels, and I would at least expect an English versed encyclopedia to maintain a similar historical perspective for the purpose of maintaining its cultural authority.
Something to be wary of is an under-estimation of our ability to re-create the alphabet using the kind of whispered undertones that have the potential to infiltrate common practice within a non-removable format.

Hello Matthew,
You rejected my entry yesterday on the grounds that it read too much like an advertisement. I have had this happen before and so I was very careful to leave out all hyperbole and subjective evaluations of the company. I didn't use words like "excellent" or "best" and tried to keep the entry factual. It is impossible for me to find outside sources that confirm dates and times of the company being set up as they are Chinese and only recently hired any kind of marketing team.
I want to know what I can do to get this page uploaded, I have checked and all of our competitors (Robert Walter, Korn Ferry, Michael Page etc.) have Wikipedia entries. If you could help me to understand better what steps I need to take that would be really helpful.

Dear MatthewVanitas Thanks a lot for helping with my article on Mascha Mioni by moving it out of the sandbox "status". Now I plan to add an article "Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada" https://yoshikowada.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/yiw_brief-cv11_2.pdf who has and still is conributing enormously to textile art advancement and research. I would try to do it in my sandbox first, but am afraid I'll change Mascha Mioni's article if I edit anything in it ? ( If I go to the sandbox I see: "Mascha Mioni From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from User:Bonu/sandbox)"
How do I proceed to start a new subject (BLP) in my sandbox? Can I just delete what I see when clicking on sandbox??
Please let me know soon - I wanted to do it while I have some time :)
Thanks a lot again for your help! Bonu ( talk) 20:33, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
Dear MatthewVanitas I did some further research, but could not find a way to remove the link from the sandbox. But I found the place to create aa new draft for later submission and started working there: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Draft:Yoshiko_Iwamoto_Wada&action=edit So no need to take your valuable wiki-time to answer my request anymore. I'm launched :) Thanks again for your engagement in wikipedia. Bonu ( talk) 08:37, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for all the work you did on my Draft:Edwin L. "Uncle Ted" Raub. I was only expecting to be told what to do but your help was invaluable. Following your example I inserted the other references you found and was able to garner a tidbit or two from them as well. I'm also in the process of getting permissions to use some photos.

What is the point of decline my personal sandbox User:Yejianfei/sandbox? It's so rediculous! After all it is only a sandbox, i.e. a place for experiment! Moreover, it is not a public or shared sandbox. It is only my personal sandbox. What is the point to decline it or accept it????? -- Yejianfei ( talk) 17:47, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
The submission was declined becuase the site that I was going to get my reference from was not working. However, once the website was working again, I posted a key reference. Do I need to have more than one reference? If so, why didn't you say so in the 2nd decline message. The 2nd decline message comment was BLANK!

Here's why in the world it was not finished. I took several months to write a comprehensive scientific article on Aerodynamic Whistles. A subject that I originally wrote for Scientific American. I submitted it and it was rejected. I was supposed to add the material to an little existing article called "whistle" Not only was the title incorrect, but it was a short description of a few police type whistles not a scientific article. A web search of whistle showed clothing, videos, and other items not relevant to my article. A search of "Aerodynamic whistles" however was the location the article should be. So I did all that work for nothing just because there was a little article with a similar name.
Now I am writing about a subject that I am expert on, and have written a book about, and wish to get it on Wikipedia. But I am not going through the drill of doing all the work just to have it rejected because there is some similar article nearby.
The resolution is to tell me the title and subject is worthy of an article and there are no conflicts and I will complete the draft.
Would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks for your review! I have made changes to the draft Art of Hosting page, removing content that appeared non factual and added several different sources.
I am unsure of the next steps - once edits have been performed, does the article automatically get reviewed by yourself or another editor?

Mr. Vanitas Thank you for reviewing the article I submitted. I know it is little more than a definition, but I hope to expand it into an article. It would touch upon psychology and sociology, and explain why human beings have committed atrocities in the past and present. If you have other comments, I am open to criticism, for I would love to contribute to the subject on Wikipedia

The company is buzzing a lot on LinkedIn and has fetched a lot of customers through it. When enquired, it' s credentials are up to the mark and the reviews on Yelp are also valuable. Infact, i bagged a NAS appliance for one of my photo studios from this company via Yelp. It has a good SMB customer base in silicon valley and is said to be in business from 2006. So, i thought, that this company needs to have a wiki page.
When i surfed through their facebook, Twitter and google search engine, i found only three reference links as archives. From the past few years, the company has created a good identity of itself on Google. But in the past, i think it only used to promote its achievements through some websites.
So, i thought that of writing an article on it by quoting those references. Like its inclusion in CRN magazine and so on.
Hope, you understood what i want to say.......G'day mate! TechnologyExplorer ( talk) 06:26, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Dear Matthew Vanitas,
First and foremost, this article wasn't written to plug or advertise a company. This is an information, tracking the history of one of the most renowned recording company in the Philippines up to its recent activities. Under what grounds is this article subjected for deletion? or under what grounds could you say, it's a form of advertising? A narrative is different from an advertising script. It's a company profile. If anybody wishes to look for it's root and beginnings, it will be readily available. Kindly review the article again. It's just the same article as those of associations and companies which have been already published in wikipedia.

Dear Mr. Vanitas,
Thank you kindly for helping me out with DJ Marfox's english wiki. As for the query you have raised regarding "Further Reading" — I am not sure how to solve this problem and would like to ask your advice.
As you have noticed there are not citations, nor references these are simply further information that has been published concerning this artist. In academia we would call this bibliography and list ALL the information possible to be able to retrieve it. Obviously this would not be the case in a wiki so I have decided to state only what appears to be the MOST relevant information:
title of the article + name of the author (when known) + place of publication + date of publication (when available)
thus assuring that authors are credited as well as the place and date of publication and allowing reader to select from the title what they may be interested in reading further
If you have a better suggesting than the one I am proposing, could you let me know? I will be delighted to change it according to your guidelines.

Hello MatthewVanitas. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled " FreeCinc".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply {{db-afc}}
or {{db-g13}}
code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at
WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:FreeCinc}}
, paste it in the edit box at
this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo ( talk) 22:45, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Dear MatthewVanitas Thanks a lot for helping with my article on Mascha Mioni by moving it out of the sandbox "status". Now I plan to add an article "Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada" https://yoshikowada.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/yiw_brief-cv11_2.pdf who has and still is conributing enormously to textile art advancement and research. I would try to do it in my sandbox first, but am afraid I'll change Mascha Mioni's article if I edit anything in it ? ( If I go to the sandbox I see: "Mascha Mioni From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from User:Bonu/sandbox)"
How do I proceed to start a new subject (BLP) in my sandbox? Can I just delete what I see when clicking on sandbox??
Please let me know soon - I wanted to do it while I have some time :)
Thanks a lot again for your help! Bonu ( talk) 20:33, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
Dear MatthewVanitas I did some further research, but could not find a way to remove the link from the sandbox. But I found the place to create aa new draft for later submission and started working there: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Draft:Yoshiko_Iwamoto_Wada&action=edit So no need to take your valuable wiki-time to answer my request anymore. I'm launched :) Thanks again for your engagement in wikipedia. Bonu ( talk) 08:37, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Matthew: I'm contributing Seibner et al (Limner Group of Artists) pages, all reference material in University of Victoria Special Collection archives. Is there an easy way to place a single reference, showing all original docs are in the archives? Thanks Cian Cian Yyj ( talk) 18:57, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
Are you serious? Not evidence that the album is FAMOUS?? Did you see who the album is by? The first Rap Group to win an OSCAR!! If that's not an album by a famous person then undone know what is.

Thank you for all the work you did on my Draft:Edwin L. "Uncle Ted" Raub. I was only expecting to be told what to do but your help was invaluable. Following your example I inserted the other references you found and was able to garner a tidbit or two from them as well. I'm also in the process of getting permissions to use some photos. Will the draft still be considered or do I need to resubmit the now (and referenced to the hilt) corrected copy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhm795 ( talk • contribs) 14:53, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chueotang, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mudfish. 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.

What is the point of decline my personal sandbox User:Yejianfei/sandbox? It's so rediculous! After all it is only a sandbox, i.e. a place for experiment! Moreover, it is not a public or shared sandbox. It is only my personal sandbox. What is the point to decline it or accept it????? -- Yejianfei ( talk) 17:47, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
The submission was declined becuase the site that I was going to get my reference from was not working. However, once the website was working again, I posted a key reference. Do I need to have more than one reference? If so, why didn't you say so in the 2nd decline message. The 2nd decline message comment was BLANK!

Here's why in the world it was not finished. I took several months to write a comprehensive scientific article on Aerodynamic Whistles. A subject that I originally wrote for Scientific American. I submitted it and it was rejected. I was supposed to add the material to an little existing article called "whistle" Not only was the title incorrect, but it was a short description of a few police type whistles not a scientific article. A web search of whistle showed clothing, videos, and other items not relevant to my article. A search of "Aerodynamic whistles" however was the location the article should be. So I did all that work for nothing just because there was a little article with a similar name.
Now I am writing about a subject that I am expert on, and have written a book about, and wish to get it on Wikipedia. But I am not going through the drill of doing all the work just to have it rejected because there is some similar article nearby.
The resolution is to tell me the title and subject is worthy of an article and there are no conflicts and I will complete the draft.
Would appreciate hearing from you.

Hello Matthew,
Thanks for your review! I have made changes to the draft Art of Hosting page, removing content that appeared non factual and added several different sources.
I am unsure of the next steps - once edits have been performed, does the article automatically get reviewed by yourself or another editor?
Thanks,

Mr. Vanitas Thank you for reviewing the article I submitted. I know it is little more than a definition, but I hope to expand it into an article. It would touch upon psychology and sociology, and explain why human beings have committed atrocities in the past and present. If you have other comments, I am open to criticism, for I would love to contribute to the subject on Wikipedia

The company is buzzing a lot on LinkedIn and has fetched a lot of customers through it. When enquired, it' s credentials are up to the mark and the reviews on Yelp are also valuable. Infact, i bagged a NAS appliance for one of my photo studios from this company via Yelp. It has a good SMB customer base in silicon valley and is said to be in business from 2006. So, i thought, that this company needs to have a wiki page.
When i surfed through their facebook, Twitter and google search engine, i found only three reference links as archives. From the past few years, the company has created a good identity of itself on Google. But in the past, i think it only used to promote its achievements through some websites.
So, i thought that of writing an article on it by quoting those references. Like its inclusion in CRN magazine and so on.
Hope, you understood what i want to say.......G'day mate! TechnologyExplorer ( talk) 06:26, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Dear Matthew Vanitas,
First and foremost, this article wasn't written to plug or advertise a company. This is an information, tracking the history of one of the most renowned recording company in the Philippines up to its recent activities. Under what grounds is this article subjected for deletion? or under what grounds could you say, it's a form of advertising? A narrative is different from an advertising script. It's a company profile. If anybody wishes to look for it's root and beginnings, it will be readily available. Kindly review the article again. It's just the same article as those of associations and companies which have been already published in wikipedia.

Dear Mr. Vanitas,
Thank you kindly for helping me out with DJ Marfox's english wiki. As for the query you have raised regarding "Further Reading" — I am not sure how to solve this problem and would like to ask your advice.
As you have noticed there are not citations, nor references these are simply further information that has been published concerning this artist. In academia we would call this bibliography and list ALL the information possible to be able to retrieve it. Obviously this would not be the case in a wiki so I have decided to state only what appears to be the MOST relevant information:
title of the article + name of the author (when known) + place of publication + date of publication (when available)
thus assuring that authors are credited as well as the place and date of publication and allowing reader to select from the title what they may be interested in reading further
If you have a better suggesting than the one I am proposing, could you let me know? I will be delighted to change it according to your guidelines.
Sincerely, Mariana Raposa — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariana Raposa ( talk • contribs) 14:44, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Matthew First, I'm not sure when you will get this but if you are taking time off, I hope it is relaxing. I want to thank you for your patience. I am not technically savvy and seem to be having a hard time with links etc. I have been trying to creat a wikipedia page for Lily Goodman. Lily is the child model who helped change the law in NYC that will give young models protection that they never have had in the past. Forever child fashion model were left out of the laws protecting other entertainers but now they are protected. She has been featured in numerous newspapers, tv talk shows etc. I'm not sure how to get all of the link in but please let me know what else you may need.

Hello MatthewVanitas. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled " FreeCinc".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply {{db-afc}}
