The current biography of FAC is in fact my own contribution to Wikipedia. So when I sent you a new Sandbox draft of that biography for review, the exact same version I sent you went live on the main Wiki page! Please re-review the biography. I am currently dealing with the copyright issue regarding the VAD poster.( DrSchaub ( talk) 13:05, 7 December 2015 (UTC))
Hi,
Thanks for reviewing the page titled Chris Beale.
I am struggling to understand why it now is not allowed. And i need you to help me get the page live, and so it will stay live. So it can be linked with Chris's BBC Introducing page, via Musicbrainz.
So what exactly is wrong with the reliable source of information provided please?
Is it just the fact that he has a personal statement on there?
His words do not state any information that is questionable. His words only mention he is happy with the recognition of being a significant contributor to UK electronic music.
However, if this is not allowed, then please let me know, and i will contact the news paper, and have their editor remove the personal statement information, so that it only has the editors words.
If there is any other issue, please let me know what else to do. So this can finally at last be published. As it is absurdly difficult. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samuraionetwothree ( talk • contribs) 23:41, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello, Matthew. You may call me Kay. You have commented on the article that I submitted last 8 December 2015, which was about the New Jersey Firearms Academy. I apologize that I did not find your instructions clear. This is technically an educational institution but not yet entirely documented and a Wikipedia article would be the first of its documentation in recognition that it is an education institution. I would very much appreciate more specific instructions on how I can edit my article. What you left, I think, is a bit too vague.
Thank you very much.

Hello again, Matthew. That was a swift reply. I can't thank you enough. I also appreciate your willingness to help out new users like me. Well, NJFA has appeared numerous times in different media, such as news articles and TV programs although I am not exactly sure where I should place it in the article. But yes, I will do my best to edit it again and find everything I can use. Apparently, I lacked the necessary resources and references.

Hi Matthew,
Thank you for taking the time to review my article submission request. I am fairly new at the Wikipedia game and I am actually working on a class assignment that requires us to post an article to be submitted,I realize I made a mistake by applying, I needed to edit my work and landed up submitting a draft article, which is incomplete as you have stated. Is there a way to revoke the submission until I have completed my article?

Hi MatthewVanitas.I posted a message in the Article Creation location you recommended also. I'm a little confused about your review that the entry reads like an advertisement. The initial review indicated it was a good start, I just needed more references for ntability. I added several more references (none of which are from the company itself so that keeps things in a neutral tone). There are now more references in this article than several others of similar content. Any assistance you can provide would be beneficial.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Christ's Sanctified Holy Church, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ark. 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.

Thanks for uploading the logo for [ [1]]. Just for my edification: did you have to get any permissions? Is it fair use?
Thanks for all the help here.
Thanks for the explanation. I kind of figured there would be some way this would qualify under fair use, but couldn't find it in the Wikipedia info. Thanks so much.
Hi Matthew, I've added some missing references and I moved the article to the main space, see Hey Mister, Let's Play!. It is a notable series, in my country. Feel free to check or improve. Thanks. -- Vejvančický ( talk / contribs) 12:11, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Matthew,
Happy New Year to you and thanks for accepting my article. I note that it has been rated Start-Class.

Is it possible to have help in English or Arabic in" french Wikipedia" as I have french translated document
can you link me to the original page of sony max.. it needs context to be added
Matthew, your edits at this point seems confusing. I'd like to ask for your support in reverting your changes. Here are reasons why I make this request:
1) Your "draft dodging" reference and discussion is now actually now documented twice in the passage (there was no attempt to hide the activities in the article) 2) The paragraph you added on houseboats and bigamy is both out of place with the article (already documented elsewhere in the overall time and flow of the article, with the references - not hidden) and in direct conflict with the time period references documenting the beliefs of the organization. 3) Some of the links you added are broken.
Would you be so kind as to support this request? Thanks,

Why was the Article declined??
Dear Matthew,
You comment on me providing my own biography. I had assumed this was more honest than a number of contributors who I know who merely create pages for each other and then these get published because it appears they have been contributed by a separate, independent source, which isn't the case at all!
Kind regards,

Dear MatthewVanitas, I wrote a separate article about Hawk Tubley which was submitted at the same time, but reviewed by someone else (and rejected). I would agree that neither article on its own might merit inclusion, but that taken together, they meet the requirements for notability, in that Hawk Tubley (or George Mostoller, as he was born) has been on national television, mentioned in Rolling Stone, the New York Times, quoted in books, and has had some musical and artistic success, and his album Cooking With Dynamite! was made with several notable and world-famous musicians including Oteil Burbridge, formerly of the Allman Brothers Band and now playing with the (Grateful) Dead & Company, and Marshall Allen, currently the leader of the Sun Ra Arkestra, as well as a couple others who also have Wikipedia entries. Since Cooking With Dynamite! is included in their Wikipedia discographies, I thought it would make sense that people could find a brief description of what that album is, as well as the artist who made it. Would it make more sense if the two articles were combined? It seems less precise to me, but that could be done. -Round Robinson

The article Ron King (hairstylist) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

I need Some help on Article creation, Please give some feedback on below Article, If there any changes require then i will change it,
Hello, Matthew,
I am the author of the draft entry, "PTSD Awareness Month," which you reviewed and declined earlier today. I am also the public affairs officer for the National Center for PTSD.
I am certainly willing to edit the submission to make it more neutral in tone, but I didn't think it was very different in tone than the current Wikipedia entry, "Mental Health Awareness Month." If I revise our submission to make it similar to the Mental Health Awareness Month entry, will that make it likely to be accepted?
The main reason my initial submission did not refer to other sources for its content is that the National Center for PTSD's website is the premier source of evidence-based (research-verified) information on PTSD. Virtually all content posted to our website is vetted by subject matter experts, both within and outside the Department of Veterans Affairs. Additionally, although other organizations certainly do join us in promoting PTSD awareness, we are the organization that leads this effort year after year. I can look for other sources that objectively examines the observance, but I doubt there is much of anything out there. Probably for the same reason the Senate unanimously passes its "National PTSD Awareness Month" resolutions every year, I have never seen any criticism of PTSD Awareness Month.
The bottom line is that we are not interested in promoting the National Center for PTSD through this entry, but, similar to the Mental Health Awareness Month entry, we do want Wikipedia readers to know about PTSD Awareness Month and where they can find resources to help raise PTSD awareness during that month and throughout the entire year.
We hope this helps. Thank you for taking the time to review our submission and provide feedback and guidance.
Best regards,

Dear Matthew, Thank you for your much needed help. I am brand new to Wikipedia and I am trying to learn how to do this by trial and error. I thought I accidentally lost part of my friend Denvermary's article so I pasted it back. Now I understand it was your edits and I appreciate your input and expertise. I am working on getting copyright permission for some historical photos as well as other collaborating references. All the best for 2016.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Christ's Sanctified Holy Church, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ark. 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.

Thanks for uploading the logo for [ [1]]. Just for my edification: did you have to get any permissions? Is it fair use?
Thanks for all the help here.
Thanks for the explanation. I kind of figured there would be some way this would qualify under fair use, but couldn't find it in the Wikipedia info. Thanks so much.
Hi Matthew, I've added some missing references and I moved the article to the main space, see Hey Mister, Let's Play!. It is a notable series, in my country. Feel free to check or improve. Thanks. -- Vejvančický ( talk / contribs) 12:11, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Matthew,
Happy New Year to you and thanks for accepting my article. I note that it has been rated Start-Class. I have read through the criteria at WP:WikiProject Articles for creation/Grading scheme, but I was wondering if you would be so kind as to point me in the right direction with regard to suggested improvements. I am keen to make my article of the highest possible quality.

Is it possible to have help in English or Arabic in" french Wikipedia" as I have french translated document
can you link me to the original page of sony max.. it needs context to be added
Matthew, your edits at this point seems confusing. I'd like to ask for your support in reverting your changes. Here are reasons why I make this request:
1) Your "draft dodging" reference and discussion is now actually now documented twice in the passage (there was no attempt to hide the activities in the article) 2) The paragraph you added on houseboats and bigamy is both out of place with the article (already documented elsewhere in the overall time and flow of the article, with the references - not hidden) and in direct conflict with the time period references documenting the beliefs of the organization. 3) Some of the links you added are broken.
Would you be so kind as to support this request? Thanks,

Hi Matthew. I've been practicing in a Sandbox linked from the Twinkle help page. My tests seem to show up as actual attempts to create an article, but I've merely followed the TW help instructions to make test edits. DonFB ( talk) 11:43, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
For your information, Twinkle put a speedy deletion template on your user talk page for an article that you had moved, which was a blatantly promotional political ad. I moved it to the originator's talk page. Robert McClenon ( talk) 16:46, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Why was the Article declined??
Dear Matthew,
You comment on me providing my own biography. I had assumed this was more honest than a number of contributors who I know who merely create pages for each other and then these get published because it appears they have been contributed by a separate, independent source, which isn't the case at all!
Kind regards,
Paul
Dear MatthewVanitas, I wrote a separate article about Hawk Tubley which was submitted at the same time, but reviewed by someone else (and rejected). I would agree that neither article on its own might merit inclusion, but that taken together, they meet the requirements for notability, in that Hawk Tubley (or George Mostoller, as he was born) has been on national television, mentioned in Rolling Stone, the New York Times, quoted in books, and has had some musical and artistic success, and his album Cooking With Dynamite! was made with several notable and world-famous musicians including Oteil Burbridge, formerly of the Allman Brothers Band and now playing with the (Grateful) Dead & Company, and Marshall Allen, currently the leader of the Sun Ra Arkestra, as well as a couple others who also have Wikipedia entries. Since Cooking With Dynamite! is included in their Wikipedia discographies, I thought it would make sense that people could find a brief description of what that album is, as well as the artist who made it. Would it make more sense if the two articles were combined? It seems less precise to me, but that could be done. -Round Robinson
i think that Wik should calm down on the rules because my teacher got a book that isn't coming out for another like two years. I just finished the book and i would like to put up my report about the book but Wik is just shooting me down about it because doesn't follow their guild lines. I am a eighth grade student that just wants to put his work out there but its hard because of all these guild lines. If you are having the same troubles Email me at Jakemalafronte@gmail.com.

I need Some help on Article creation, Please give some feedback on below Article, If there any changes require then i will change it,
Hello, Matthew,
I am the author of the draft entry, "PTSD Awareness Month," which you reviewed and declined earlier today. I am also the public affairs officer for the National Center for PTSD.
I am certainly willing to edit the submission to make it more neutral in tone, but I didn't think it was very different in tone than the current Wikipedia entry, "Mental Health Awareness Month." If I revise our submission to make it similar to the Mental Health Awareness Month entry, will that make it likely to be accepted?
The main reason my initial submission did not refer to other sources for its content is that the National Center for PTSD's website is the premier source of evidence-based (research-verified) information on PTSD. Virtually all content posted to our website is vetted by subject matter experts, both within and outside the Department of Veterans Affairs. Additionally, although other organizations certainly do join us in promoting PTSD awareness, we are the organization that leads this effort year after year. I can look for other sources that objectively examines the observance, but I doubt there is much of anything out there. Probably for the same reason the Senate unanimously passes its "National PTSD Awareness Month" resolutions every year, I have never seen any criticism of PTSD Awareness Month.
The bottom line is that we are not interested in promoting the National Center for PTSD through this entry, but, similar to the Mental Health Awareness Month entry, we do want Wikipedia readers to know about PTSD Awareness Month and where they can find resources to help raise PTSD awareness during that month and throughout the entire year.
We hope this helps. Thank you for taking the time to review our submission and provide feedback and guidance.
Best regards,
