Hi there. I haven't looked at the proposal, but thank you in advance for your hard work. I've never done a proposal myself, but in the past whenever I've had technical questions like this, I've simply asked at the help desk (village pump?) and have found the answers quick and helpful. I suspect someone will give a step by step. I think someone unconnected to the discussion needs to lead it though. Let me know how it goes, and thanks again.

Thanks for reviewing. The subject in question was a a notable figure in Guatemala politics/economics at the time but unfortunately, aside from his published books, it is very difficult to cite online sources as the period that he was alive/active (late 70s/early80s) was pre-internet and press coverage from the time has not been documented online. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks, Jonny JonnyLDN ( talk) 02:08, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

When the Rams were in Los Angeles and Anaheim, they were the Los Angeles Rams. That may be a bit difficult for you to understand, but unless you have a good reason for reverting my edits I must ask you to refrain from doing so. Los Angeles Rams redirects to History of the Los Angeles Rams, which is 100% in compliance with Wikipedia's NFL guidelines. -- CASportsFan ( talk) 03:23, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi there! First, please let me say that I very much appreciate the time you took to to review the submission. I'll be happy to correct the issues. The paraphrase issue you mentioned is understood, but I'm not clear about your comments about NPOV. Would you mind giving me one or two examples from the article where you see that issue so that it will be easier for me to correct? At the moment I'm a bit flummoxed because there was nobody who was really against the peace treaty so it's difficult to find an opposing point of view. Or are you more referring to words like "spearheaded" or sentences like "This led to a system that would entrench and enrich the 'in-group' of the day, and establish barriers to access for the 'out-groups'." It's really not clear to me. Thanks! (

Hi, I'm wondering what is needed to get this page up and running. Mr. Farnam Mirzai is considered to be one of the greatest trainers in SE Asia and is currently working with s fighters in the biggest organizations.
I've seen other fighters with less experience and less influence with wikipedia pages so I don't understand why Farnam was rejected.
I have cleaned up the page a little bit and added some information but if there is anything else needed could you please advise me because I don't know what it is that you need.
Thank you,

Hello Onel5969, Thank you for reviewing my first submission. I understand that you want to see more references. The problem with more references is that they were before the internet and Maryland state archives are not electronic or on the web. I will be calling the Maryland State Archives today or tomorrow, to see what I can find. Ambassador Kapneck was the first State Trade Ambassador, as far as I know, so this is important, and he is also the longest-service Trade Ambassador. The big problem with references is that he has been very quiet, not giving interviews over the years, he said it was because when he speaks, it is as though the Governor was speaking, so he almost never speaks to the press. Obviously, there were appointments and reappointments over the years. This is why I will call the State Archives.
Even if I am able to find those, they will be printed documents. Please can you give me some advice on how I can handle the references that Wikipedia needs, to tell this story? There are a few more stories and references to those, such as the time that Princess Anne came to the US with Prince Charles and met Mr. Kapneck. There were print stories about that, and Google has those :

Hi. I'm the author of the article Natalia Iyudin. The article has been flagged for speedy deletion by you because of an alleged copyright infringement. That is incorrect.

Hi again, I couldn't figure out how to reply to your answer so I just wrote a new one and pasted your answer. If there is another way of doing thing then please inform me so I can do it correctly in the future
"Hi MuayThaiInfo - that may be true, but the references don't show his significance. The first is an interview, which means that it's a primary source... Wikipedia likes secondary, independent sources. The second is to a wikipage, which isn't a valid reference at all. The third is to YouTube, which is not a reliable source. The fourth is merely mentioning him, while the fifth mentions him only tangentially, it's really about another fighter, which is the same for the sixth. The seventh is an ad, which is completely unreliable. Take a look at WP:RS to see what classifies as a reliable and independent article. Your first reference, would qualify if it was an article, not an interview. #'s 4, 5 and 6 would qualify, but they don't talk about the subject in a significant way. I hope this helps"
First of all I think I have to mention that in the fight game (excluding Olympic sports and Boxing) most information is shared via interviews and often through facebook (events, seminars, ranking etc) and since I knew that you do not take facebook as a source I didn't add those. I think I might have named links incorrectly which might have been a bit confusing but I'm going to try to sort it out.
Link 2. You mention that a wikipage isn't a valid reference at all which I find odd since this is Wikipedia but there is no international keeper of fight records for Muay Thai and Kickboxing. Wikipedia is used for that and Farnams opponent (Shane Campbell) already had a wikipage which also mentions Farnman so I thought would be legit.
Link 3. Could you please advise how to offer video proof without using youtube? I used this link because it clearly shows the TV channel logo and you can hear the commentators but if there is another way please inform me.
Link 4. This link is in Swedish but it is all about Farnam and mentions him as one of the best and most merited fighters from Sweden.
Link 5-6 (now 6-7). Both articles are about other teams/fighters with Farnam mentioned as a trainer. This is in the "Training and Coaching" section so I find it very valid. It's no longer about Farnam as a fighter but him as a coach.
Link 7 (now 8). I might have labeled it wrong calling it "Tv-spot". This is not an ad. It is a pre-fight Tv show. It's like a documentary following the fighters similar to UFC road to the octagon.
I had a couple of links that I didn't know where to add but I have now added one (Now Link 5) which is an article about foreign fighters and trainers in China with Farnam being the subject for foreign trainer.
I also have access to newspaper with articles about Farnam in Thai but I would have to scan and upload them to some website and I don't know if that would be accepted as a source.
Thank you again for taking your time, I hope I was able to provide enough explanation to why there are mainly interview sources.

Dear Onel5969,
Thank you for reviewing this Wikipedia entry. Over the past week I have diligently reviewed the notability and referencing guidelines, and have significantly updated the entry so that it features much more robust references and citations.
When you have a moment I would very much appreciate you taking a look at the new version which has the following new improvements:
1) Public endorsements by extremely notable and world-renowned individuals - Robert Downey Jr. (newly cited in The Times of India as well as GoGoMix) and Sting (newly cited at The Omega Institute for Holistic Studies and in the online outlet The Meta Arts Magazine).
2) New public endorsements by notable peers in the field - Rob Brezsny (cited in The Village Voice) and April Kent (cited in a Penguin Group published book).
3) New interviews a) with a notable peer - founder of All Music Guide, Michael Erlewine - and b) in the online outlet The Meta Arts Magazine.
4) New citations from educational institutions - The Omega Institute for Holistic Studies and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
5) Robust and new citations from notable major media outlets - The Los Angeles Times, Esquire, O, The Oprah Magazine, The Times of India, The News and Observer, and The Village Voice.
I truly appreciate your wikipedia wisdom and expertise on this, and thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Best, OpenMind 01:55, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi OpenMind - there were two persondata templates at the bottom of the page. I removed one, so the warning is now gone. Regarding the redirect, you did absolutely the correct thing. If the redirect is deleted, you should rename your page simply Steven Forrest, as he would be the only article by that name. I'll keep an eye on it. A Dab (disambiguation) isn't really appropriate in this instance, since there are really no other entries for Steven Forrest. If that band member had his own page, and if he was truly not a major star (e.g. Paul McCartney), than the proper moves would be to rename that person's page, Steven Forrest (musician), leave your page alone, and create a dab. I hope this all makes sense to you. Onel5969 ( talk) 15:55, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
Dear Wiki Reviewer,
I have added five sources and clarified details on further sources.
I wonder, is the fact that she has written and published close to 20 volumes of scholarship and poetry from major publishers in Japan and the U.S. not enough to justify her presence on Wikipedia? She has an extensive page in the Japanese wiki as well.
Should I be documenting the books that she has published in more detail? Surely, wiki wouldn't be challenging the existence of these volumes, or so I would imagine.
Given her contributions to literature and academia on a global scale (as recognized by multiple international awards from major institutions), I believe she should be given further consideration. If my documentation is inadequate, I can continue working to show this.
Any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello--
Thanks for reviewing my article; could you explain what you mean by "This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article"? I didn't get a reply from the first two reviewers that rejected the submission, and when I ask for advice from the forums the response is basically "I don't know why the last reviewer felt that way, I certainly don't see an issue with the tone or style of your submission; you should just resubmit and let another reviewer look at it, then you should be fine."
But since this is now the third time I've gotten that same statement, verbatim, I'd like to request a little more info, please. Also, there seems to be some issue with my sources not being independent, reliable, or published; can you give more info on that? Of the 17 different references included in the submission, none are from Doppler Studios (the subject of the article) or any entity associated with them; several are from sources that have been established for longer than Wikipedia has been around (news organizations like CNN, and many print publications); all have been published. I wonder if because so many of them refer to Doppler Studios in their headlines, that someone is mistaking those for articles written or published by Doppler Studios?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks much!

I deleted the sources that I believed to be invalid and all of the ones remaining adhere to the guidelines listed on your website. I need someone who has looked at this over and decided it doesn't fit to explain why and which specific links are problematic.
Hello,
Onel5969,
I politely request a rereview of your decline, as well as a much more detailed explanation. You assessed the topic as not meeting notability. I am slightly perturbed by this because I have read the guidelines very carefully, and this analysis does not seem to correspond at all to the very clear definition within Wikipedia guidelines. It appears that the topic has received dozens of mentions in edited media, which treat of the topic very substantially (not brief mention etc). Some of these references are already within the citation list (per guidelines, not all have to be). You have specifically asked for additional
wp:rs. I gently challenge you on this, not in behalf of the article, but as inconsistent with written policy. You also contend that the topic is being worded as an advert. This is a subjective assessment, and I respect your opinion, but I would therefore ask for a more complete explanation of what exactly you find
WP:npov or inappropriate
wp:tone, or that you would continue to contend after reassessing now as "reading with unencyclopedic tone and like as advertisement" (or equivalent). This article has been subject to this type of contention repeatedly, and I am determined to work collaboratively on specifics to resolve the concern(s). Again, this is not in behalf of the topic, but a challenge as to whether this decline is guideline based. To do this, I am therefore politely requesting exact information, rather than broad characterization without any detail. Last, I would ask that you restore the redaction added by DGG to the erroneous contentions within his initial decline comment. DGG graciously admitted that the comments were wrong (see the edit history), and struck through the comment. Perhaps inadvertently, you reverted his strike through: did you do so by mistake?

The topic is not irremediable. What you need are references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements
I think it might be helpful if we make sure we are using the same guideline, so here is guideline language of the "basic criteria" whereby a topic is "presumptively" (per guideline)
notable as a
wp:blp: QUOTING --
I know it isn't a debate. It's a genuine attempt to see what you are thinking, so that I can collaboratively resolve the issue. In my opinion, you have not specified your advertising concern whatsoever, but have made a generalization. Please point to the exact problem. I will be pleased to change anything that you can point to. As to wp:n, I also diagree, and I have explained why. I am not stupid, and I'm sorry if I am being a pain to youyou need to explain your viewpoint more clearly please. FeatherPluma ( talk) 01:37, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
OK. It's clear, for you. Can I therefore take it that the topic is irremediable? I am sorry if you think I am pushing, but I am merely trying to really grasp things, and collect examples of how Wikipedia behaves. My purpose is to see if I can help with the article. FeatherPluma ( talk) 01:43, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
FeatherPluma, the topic is in my opinion not irremediable. the subject is probably notable, so it's a matter of tone. (You will understand that we have had considerable difficult with attempted advertising by plastic surgeons and others in related specialties, and we are therefore carefully on the watch to prevent more of it.) I suggest the following:
Be aware that when we approve an article at AfC, we do this on the basis that it is likely to be kept at AfD. This article will very possibly be challenged there, and you would therefore be well advised to make it as strong as possible. Only the community can decide, and the community is sometimes unpredictable. They've kept worse, and thrown out better. DGG ( talk ) 06:07, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello, DGG,
Hi Onel5969, thanks for taking the time to review the Forma lms draft page. I don't understand the reason, since the sources indicated seem to be all clearly notable and independent: if winning an international award at is 14th edition, being classified as second best worldwide by one of the most notable sector analysts, being considered in european researches among similar solutions, being listed in independent international directories, being reviewed by the first national webzine are not considered significant, notable and independent sources...what else?
Also, consider that forma lms is not a company or organization, but a free open source software product: does this guideline apply anyway?

Dear reviewer: I will make another attempt, following the guidelines as best as I can understand them. In your most recent rejection, you questioned the notability of the subject (Edward Aust) - as will be seen (better highlighted perhaps) in my next iteration, this is a legal author whose writings continue to be used as references by the highest courts in Canada. Not sure within the law profession what more he would need to be notable. In any event, this has been a tremendous learning experience - and will give this one more attempt following guidelines to the letter. Many thanks, Cal

The issue I am having right now is with an article that I wrote a week ago. I feel another person took my article and got credit for it.

The Canon (rapper) was created in the past, however Wikipedia took the article down because of poor sources. After noticing there wasn't an article for Canon, I took the liberty to rewrite the article and cite my finding how Wikipedia instructed us to do so. This may seem patty, but I am having a hard time getting articles accepted Wikipedia.

Onel5969,
I don't understand your decline, as it does not offer any specific reason other than the blanket-statement of notability. Dyncall is powering well-known Perl6's virtual machines, and comparable projects like libffi have a wiki page, also. Compared to the latter it even is the only library out there with native windows support and thus notable by itself. The reference-list has been kept intentionally short to not copy and paste what's on the official website itself, as this wouldn't be the nature of an encyclopedia. Please re-review or give real reasons for improvement, so the article can be redrafted. Thanks
Hi Onel5969,
Thanks for the helpful comments about my page on Larry Nucci. I made some changes in line with what you suggested -- added external sources to make his notability more apparent, and changed some of the language and references.

After the first rejection, two additional outside references were added (now #1 and #2) and a new section on Architecture added. The first link is to the Oregon State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) database of historical buildings in Oregon. If one clicks on the "Inventory Form" one will find a four page report describing the building and its significance - some comments include "Outstanding decorative features include sandstone entry façade, eave cornice, brackets & dentils." Later in the report it says "It is a good example of Italian Renaissance style building with detailed stonework on the front façade, rare in Eugene." The second link is to a 39-page National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Multiple Property Document Form for the Eugene West University Neighborhood. Page 23 discusses the Administration building and notes its significance for listing: "These buildings are potentially significant under criteria c for their architectural distinction, criterion a for association with historical events and criterion b for important persons." The Oregon SHPO lists the building as both significant and eligible for listing on the NRHP. I am sure that if it was listed then Wikipedia would consider it "notable." Not considering the building "notable" according to Wikipedia criteria simply because the university chooses not to list it due to financial issues that would be a hardship for a small private educational institution is, I believe, penalizing. The building is a landmark in Eugene, Oregon, the oldest building on the campus (107 years old), and still in active use today as an administrative facility and for classrooms. Permission to use the photo was submitted to Wikimedia on January 7, 2015. Please reconsider your rejection of this fine structure.

The copyright notice that just went up is a source that is already in the list of citations, with authors name in the text. One of the editors in Art Threat is also a co-editor of one of Thomas Waugh's books.
Your notes on relying on quotations is understood, however, these sources are rare, notable, and qualitatively more useful in a realm where wikipedia is not respected as a meritable source. If changes must be made, may I include the full quotations with more filler-type text around them? Do you prefer an anonymous essay, or an accolade of achievements for the subject in question?
Thank you,

Wondering why is was rejected. Verifiable? it's a show that is broadcasted out of Pittsburgh on Channel 2, Syndicated on Apple TV, Google.TV and the Roku. Do you mean I just need references? What needs to be done to get this listed.
You wrote (comment on my article, reason for rejection), "Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research." I am a little puzzled by what constitutes a "secondary source." In the case of Claude Montal, the published sources include two biographies published during his lifetime, several lengthy newspaper articles also published during his lifetime, together with many reports of his work by various societies, published as journals. Those are my major sources, and I can cite more of them if that would help. Do you consider them "secondary" sources?" They are certainly reliable.
More modern (20th/21st century) sources are pretty slim, sketchy, and unreliable - which is a lack I am trying to remedy by submitting this article. I am definitely an "original researcher," having pored through all sorts of original documentation as well (Montal's patents, an inventory of his possessions taken at his death, etc.) I have written a series of six articles concerning his life, which were published in the Piano Technicians Journal in 2012-13. And I have written the article on Montal for the Groves Dictionary of Musical Instruments. Do those constitute "secondary, reliable sources?" Should I cite them? (I have been reluctant to, as I am the author).
As for style, I can certainly make it read less like an essay, give it more of the style of a neutral point of view, if that is what is required. I can also provide many more references (all published materials) if that is desirable. But I am a little at a loss as to how to proceed, in case most of my article is considered "original research," and in case the sources I am relying on are considered "primary" sources.

Dear reviewer,
Thank you for your review of my page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Flamant
As I have been trying to get this page online for over a year I would like to ask some more feedback.
I chatted with several reviewers in the chatbox, they agreed my sources were legit.
About the content they were less consistent. One said I should leave out info, another said I should add more history info.
As I don't have enough references for a long history I chose to keep it short and well referenced.
I don't understand your remark about the sources.
Every single one of the used sources is a respected medium.
The Ny times, De Standaard, le Soir, Cote Maison are all high profile and quality publications.
Even the website of the Belgian Monarchy is used as a source, which is about as formal and respected as it gets.
I guess I can indeed still tweak in the tone of voice and make it more formal.
But when it comes to sources I believe this is already astounding.
Or do you mean I should reference paper publications? In that case you won't be able to check the references? I figured the article would benefit from using web references from quality newspaper's and magazine's websites.
Thank you for your feedback.

Hi there, first off, I appreciate your reviewing my submission, but I do have some questions. The main reason cited for the articles dismissal was that the sources fail to adequately show the subjects notability. The sources were national publications (MTV, Rolling Stone), local publications (Oak City Hustle), and international website interviews, as well as record label websites. I read and then re-read the suggested article "guidelines on notability of music-related topics" and found that the subject met at least six of the first twelve listed criteria, of which the requirement is stated to be one. Please let me know where I went wrong as based on the reason listed for dismissal, I am very confused. I am confident that the information and cross wiki-linked articles illustrate substantial notability. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for your recent review of my (first) article on Mark Everist. I was hopeful that you might be able to help me improve the article so that it can be published. Your justification for rejecting the submission reads: 'This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability—see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics 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'. Other articles on similar musicologists have much less regarding referencing, for example please see: /info/en/?search=Roger_Parker and /info/en/?search=Richard_Taruskin These articles were both published without significant references either. I have, however, referenced the largest and most authoritative music encyclopaedia in the english language, Grove Music Online (OUP). This is a source that all music academics frequently use. The information is verifiable (assuming you have a subscription or access to a local library that has a copy of this multi-volume source). What I find particularly interesting about the review is that an OUP source is not 'verifiable' and moreover, that Oxford University Press finds 'Mark Everist' worthy of a subject entry in the largest english-language music encyclopaedia but apparently Wikipedia does not. I would be most grateful to you if you had further suggestions of what may be done to improve this article. If Oxford Uni Press encyclopaedia is not a reputable and satisfactory source, could you then please point me in the right direction? Also, it seems interesting that similarly acclaimed musicologists have had articles published with much less citation. Many thanks. SPG2015 ( talk) 18:54, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

You reviewed my submission for the page "Conscience: Taxes for Peace not War" but deemed it too similar to the document here: http://www.brad.ac.uk/library/media/library/specialcollections/documents/CwlPTCCLDApr2010.pdf
I have since gotten permission for use of the document from the Bradford archive and I contacted the successor organisation to the Peace Tax Campaign who sent an email using the template in order to remove any doubt about copyright usage rights.
The article has not been released yet (I know there is a backlog).

If so, would you be kind enough to highlight what I should change as I do not wish to rewrite the entire article.

Thanks for your posting on the article re: notability and the need for more references.
I'm in the process of making some additions and making the article rather more substantial. Since you live in the US (as I do as well, but I am a Brit and am currently in London) you may not be so familiar with Parker as I because I've been to some of his lectures (inc. his Belisario study afternoon in 2012) and also because I write a lot on WP about Italian opera of the 19th century.
His American counterpart is Philip Gossett who is about 10 years older than Parker. Maybe you could look at that article and, if you have any pointers on how to improve the Parker one, I'd appreciate it. However, as a member of WP:OPERA, I do intend to seek input there as well. One link between both of these men has been these work on the critical editions of important 19th C operas - Gossett's for Verdi, Parker's primarily for Donizetti.

Scroll down to the year 1980, you will see his name for the 500m - 200m - and one kilometer. He is also listed in French language https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Singleton

Before I spend more time on this, I'm wondering if the "soon-ness" of this is outweighed by the prominence of Maddin in international cinema. Maddin is certainly Canada's most significant director, alongside Cronenberg and Egoyan, although less commercially successful -- but is possibly the most influential director in Canada's independent cinema with a reputation worldwide. As such, it seems to me that any of his major works (e.g., features like THE FORBIDDEN ROOM) deserves its own page. Anyway, I'm wondering if I should spend time improving and resubmitting by adding more detail in terms of things like the critical reception, etc., so that the page can be improved later on, or if the time is better spent waiting for time to pass. I'm a film scholar but relatively new to Wikipedia, and trying to spend free time improving the pages for certain neglected Canadian cinema figures and films. John Paizs is next, but I'd like to finish up Maddin stuff first. But also don't want to waste my time. Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks! JonathanGBall ( talk) 19:53, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Before beginning to edit the article I'd be grateful for more detailed information on why it was refused. I used facts (i.e. what is the organisation, what does it do/has it done, which artists have done projects with it and when, and where a reputable newspaper or magazine had reported on the element of the work used this as the secondary source.
With thanks for your help in this matter.

Hi there, my name is Mustapha. I'm a huge Nigerian Hip Hop follower and blogger. I wrote the article on a Nigerian Hip Hop Emcee MCskill ThaPreacha for his contribution so far to Hip Hop in Nigeria and the article got declined. Please, I would really like you to review the article again. The sources/references used are reliable sources. As a matter of fact, asides the YouTube and MTV reference, the sources used in this article are the biggest independent music/entertainment website in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
Would look forward to seeing the article moved into the article section of wiki. God bless.

Hello, my article "Craig Gotsman" was declined due to issues with the online references. I have looked over them again, and
apart from some minor fixes (e.g. access-dates, ISBN), I cannot see what is wrong. I need to ask a question about this:
Is the problem that I am missing details from the existing references/citations, or am I completely missing references/citations for certain facts mentioned in the text ? Please state which is the case, and, if possible, provide me with an example from the article where I need to add more info.
Thanks !

Hello. First, thanks for taking the time to review my submissions. It's greatly appreciated, as is your feedback. I'm writing to request additional information regarding your recent review. The page was not accepted, saying that the article did not adequately show the subject's notability. After reviewing the notability criteria for musicians and ensembles, I believe the subject of the article is notable enough to be included, and that the article displays this fact. I'll list various criteria below, and the corresponding facts that support it from the article.
Criteria: Has won or placed in a major music competition. Wickam is a four-time Colorado State Fiddling Champion, and has been a finalist four times at the Grand Masters’ Fiddler Championship.
Criteria: Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award. While not nominated, Wickam's album "Old School Old Time" was on the 1st Grammy Ballot in four categories.
Criteria: Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. The Wickam Family Band performed from 1992-1995 on Blinky's Fun Club, a syndicated TV show recorded at KWGN Denver.
Each of these items is mentioned in the article.
I understand that subjectivity in the criteria and interpretation of them can create differences of opinion, and I also realize that I'm new to Wikipedia. But I would request a re-review of the article based on these items and, if the decision remains, additional information on why it is not being accepted on grounds of notability. I hope to be able to clarify the article as needed so that it warrants inclusion, and I appreciate any assistance you can offer toward this end.
Thanks again, and take care. -Mark

Hello,
I appreciate your review of the Wiki my friend (Padrick3) and myself put together. While it is under his name, I did the majority of the writing, since didn't have an account at the time, and he was better at formatting it here. I would like to edit it in such a way to allow it to be published. The main concern I have is your mention of the current references not being up to Wikipedia's standards. I am confused about this, I thought my sources, which are traceable. If they are not up to Wiki's standards, could you be more explicit on why? If the issue is more of a lack of sources, I can go through the list of sources I didn't use and try to put them into the Bio.
I also was unsure about the use of my external links. That is more evidence of the work Donald Doe has done, and the ownership of some of his pieces. I was hoping that it would assist in giving reference to the reality of what is written. Would it be better to reference them different, rather than place them as external links?
I understand my wiki might have been too bias. I am doing this for my father, Donald G. Doe, and with my degrees in literary theory I was having trouble finding a middle ground between essay-writing and non-biased bio writing. This could be seen in my use of quotation. Would it be best if I edit it down significantly, and then perhaps my sources would be more useful? I understand since this is a living person it might be difficult to have an extensive description without many sources. Since a lot of the sources I have, including some not listed such as Artstor, are just images of paintings with date of show and name of show, I found it hard to cite that.
Another question I have is how to be allowed to add in pictures. My father has given me images of himself and particular art-work that he would like shown here, how do I legally put it up? He obviously has ownership of these pictures, it is just a matter of proving that I have been granted the OK to put them up.

Thank you very much for your time, I appreciate any help you can offer me. -Zachary Doe (SageheartBK)
I have images, some of his artwork, others of himself, they were given to me by the artist, I am unsure how to get the legality down, I'll look that up. I have the artist's permission though.
Plan on working on it a bit tonight, and hopefully thoughout the weekend. I'll let you know if I have more questions, and when I am further along. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SageheartBK ( talk • contribs) 00:15, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for your evaluation of this submission. However, I am surprised by the statement that "this submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability". One of the references is an obituary of John Dennis Carthy in the journal Nature - one of the most reputable multidisciplinary scientific journals. Only scholars with significant international esteem will receive this sort of honour. If it's difficult to find a copy of the article in Nature (from 1972), I am happy to forward a scanned copy. Likewise, the authorship of John Dennis Carthy of numerous books is documented in the submission.

Hello Onel5969
Thank you for reaching out to me.
This is my first attempt at a submission and boy oh boy did I mess up!
I feel just horrible because I'm trying to help a musician who is really accomplished and completely botched the process by lending my credentials thinking they would be helpful - add weight to the credibility of the submission. It seems instead to have hurt him and I feel just terrible. I want to try and fix it if I can.
I just last evening sent an email to Aaron Green to try and resolve things so I'm not sure if the rejection you see has come in since that time or if you are speaking about what has happened previously with the photo submission. I can't figure out how to see anything in Wikipedia's backend I'm afraid.
Essentially, I was trying to protect the artist from potential problems in the future regarding the photo submission and ran into some confusion about why that was an issue. I went with my natural instinct, which was to protect the artist. I didn't understand their was a conflict with WikiMedia Commons on that. Since sorting it out I have tried to resolve the situation by submitting a photo I took that will not likely have a "merchandising" appeal thus addressing my overall concerns.
I'm hopeful that the new photo, along with the additional resource information I sent regarding Erick Macek's career, is enough to get his entry posted.
I would love to have a mentor/guide/hand-holder through the process if you are willing.
I am terrible at coding and all things tech-based but believe this artist deserves his page and I want to do everything I can to help him get it.
Thanks for reaching out. I look forward to your reply. You can always reach me on email as well at flanders@fastmail.fm. I would be happy to forward you what I sent Aaron Green as well so we are all on the same page moving forward.

USERNAME: Ethersearch RE: My article "Saul Grigorievich Bron" (original title "Saul G. Bron") /info/en/?search=Saul_Grigorievich_Bron
Dear Editor,
Thank you for reviewing and posting my article “Saul G. Bron” (“Saul Grigorievich Bron.”).
This article to a large degree is derived from my recently published, highly acclaimed, long article “The Soviet Problem with Two ‘Unknowns’: How an American Architect and a Soviet Negotiator Jump-Started the Industrialization of Russia” published by IA, Journal of the Society for Industrial Archeology 36 (2): 57–80 and 37 (1/2): 5–28, a double-blind, peer reviewed journal for professional industrial historians. This article was a result of a three-year long research and is based mostly on the primary sources and previously not published documents from the archives in Russia and USA. After becoming a victim of Stalin’s repressions in 1938, Saul G. Bron’s name was practically erased from the Russian history. Even though his name is well known to Soviet economy scholars in the West, as of today, my published article is, in fact, the main source of the biographical information about this important historical figure.
The article has been assessed as C-Class. To improve it, I would appreciate understanding more precisely why it received that rating, since the description of “C” in the Wikipedia grading scheme covers a lot of ground, saying only that it “fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class.” I’m wondering in particular whether you would prefer that I used more inline citations instead of just listing the main sources, which to a large degree is the aforementioned article, which has over 200 notes. Also, the title of the article was changed from “Saul G. Bron” to “Saul Grigorievich Bron.” I think, “Saul G. Bron” would most likely be used by anybody searching for information about this person for the following reasons:
1) Saul G. Bron is the name most familiar to English-language scholars in Soviet history and economics. It is the name on the cover of Bron’s most notable book, Soviet Economic Development and American Business: Results of the first year under five-year plan and further perspectives (New York, H. Liveright, 1930). The same name was extensively used by contemporaneous English-language newspaper and magazine articles. When you Google “Saul G. Bron”, you get 540 hits, including books, while “Saul Grigorievich Bron” returns only links to my published article and my article on Wikipedia.
2) It appears that the Wikipedia articles on similar Soviet political figures of the period, e.g. Anastas Mikoyan, Leonid Krasin, and Valery Mezhlauk, all mentioned in my Wikipedia article, follow the same format: just the first and last name of the person in the title of the article and in the Infobox, followed with the full name, including the patronymic name, in the first paragraph of the main text (Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan, Leonid Borisovich Krasin, Valery Ivanovich Mezhlauk). Other examples include Lazar Kaganovich, Maxim Litvinov, Georgy Chicherin, Nikolai Bukharin, Alexei Rykov, Nikolay Krestinsky, Vladimir Ksandrov, in addition to numerous others.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
USERNAME: Ethersearch RE: My article "Saul Bron” /info/en/?search=Saul_Bron
Dear Editor,
Many thanks for such a quick response. Thank you for correcting the title and making it consistent with the infobox. I am hugely embarrassed if the error was mine in the first place. But I am still somewhat concerned that it is “Saul Bron” and not “Saul G. Bron”, the way his name appears on his book title and the way he has been traditionally referred to in books, articles, and news at the time. What do you think?
I will look into adding a few inline citations.
Thank you again for your help.
P.S. Oh yes, when I created links from some terms in my article to other Wikipedia articles, I noticed that a title to the article at /info/en/?search=Gosproekstroi is misspelled. It is spelled Gosproekstroi but it should be spelled Gosproektstroi. I corrected the spelling in the body of the article but I cannot correct the title. Perhaps, you or some other editor can correct it?
I'm still figuring out these bigger discussions, normally, i just a fix a comma splice. But: http://voicesweb.org/advertise says it's a newspaper, and if you've seen it it's a newspaper, and thus, i'd suggest letting it be called a newspaper. re: a recent edit — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.58.106.50 ( talk) 04:21, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

First the page I created for Together Marketing was nominated for speedy deletion due to copyright infringement. I would like to contest this due to the fact that the administrator actually used my definition with my permission. The mix up comes because the definition on their page was immediately published while my Wikipedia page was still under review. They have since changed the wording of their definition via my request. I understand Jimfbleak was the actual user that deleted the page, but honestly I can't figure out how to use his talk page which is why I am appealing to you.
Second, you recommended that I merge Together Marketing with Affinity marketing which I also want to appeal. Affinity Marketing and Together Marketing may sound similar, but are pretty different. Affinity marketing seems to focus on a one on one relationship between affinity groups and suppliers where Together Marketing encourages working with many partners that are not limited to affinity groups in any way. From what I understand through the affinity group Wikipedia page, affinity groups are just "groups formed around a shared interest or common goal... and their purposes must be primarily non-commercial". Together marketing works with partners that are commercial and non-commercial alike. The partners can be anything from one blogger to a company as big as Nike and everything in between. So while it is not limited to affinity groups, they could also be brought in as partners along side other commercial partners. Affinity Marketing also involves some exchange of money as stated on their wiki page "But usually, affinity groups increase their income by asking a commission for example." Together marketing involves no monetary exchange between partners. The only objective is to help and get help from multiple partners to reach a bigger target audience. The working with multiple partners at once is what also separates Together Marketing from Co-branding.
As I'm sure you can tell, this is the first article I have ever submitted for Wikipedia. With that said, I obviously do not want to get myself banned or break any rules when attempting to resubmit my Together Marketing page. Any guidance on the best way to go about this process would be much appreciated. I also want to say that I had no idea how rigorous this process was and I have a new found respect for the information posted through Wikipedia as well as the extent that moderators go through to ensure quality content. Thank you for your work and for any help!

Hello Onel5959, thank you for taking the time and reviewing my article.
Regarding the submission of /info/en/?search=Draft:EAngel - This entry was created with the help of the respectful administrator Tokyogirl79 that helped me formalizing the text. Please have a look at the following Wikipedia entries:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_Software /info/en/?search=One_hour_translation /info/en/?search=Gengo
All of them a eligible and approved entries, and I would like to write articles about all of the notable services that can help people suffering from Dyslexia.
I would appreciate it if you could help me phrasing the Draft:EAngel entry, so it will be in the same language style as the other existing entries that I've listed above, so we can get it approved. I hope that you agree with me that we should not discriminate one service over the other, given that they are all notable and known in the world. If you help me edit it so it will not sound like an advertisement that will be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your information regarding the guideline of my first submission.
"Evergreen Consulting Engineering" is the structural engineer of record of the Taipei 101, which is already shown on wiki page.

Hopefully the modified article would meet the qualification for acceptance.

Hi there,
a few days ago we corresponded about my submission about Dr John Carthy, a notable British behavioural scientist and science communicator. The notability was questioned - you commented that a single obituary in the journal Nature, probably the world's most renowned science journal, was insufficient. I am unsure how this can be so - Nature certainly has very high standards for notability, and scientists do have to be of leading international standing to have their obituary published in that journal. However, even if more than one source is required, I had provided additional sources, but they cannot all be of Nature's standing. I have since located another one in: Journal of Biological Education; see here: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00219266.1972.9653749?journalCode=rjbe20#.VO89Ci7Pq4E
Would this be more suitable?
In addition, the authorship of the numerous books that John Carthy has authored (and which I had provided with the submission) is easily verifiable - many of them are still available on Amazon; the existence of the others can easily be verified.
John Carthy's activities as a science communicator on radio and TV are less easily documented more than 40 years after his death, but just googling his name with the word BBC turns up several find from the 1950s and 60s, for example:
http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/89faf4a0d85e4e898b2f684e6d52f4cf
http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1966-08-18
http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbchomeservice/basic/1959-10-30
Please let me know if any of these sources would be more suitable than the ones I had provided earlier. Thank you and best wishes,
Lars

Hi Lars - If you look at the WP:GNG an WP:BIO, you'll see that Wikipedia requires that the subject of an article "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". And they have to generally read sources, not "niche" sources. The three new sources merely mention that he was a speaker, they are not really about Carthy. The two obits are very good, and the new one is also good, but aren't there any other articles about him while he was alive? If you had the other obit into the article and re-submit, perhaps another editor will see it differently. I hope this helps. Onel5969 ( talk) 03:14, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello Onel5969. I am Deloris and I received information on the decline of my submission. This is my first time creating an article for submission into Wikipedia and I will be working on rewriting the article. I do understand I must rewrite from a neutral standpoint and will rewrite from that standpoint; however, if you would be so kind as to give a few pointers that would be greatly appreciated. In comparison of other articles such as one I found on Wikipedia regarding another indie artist TolumiDE -- can you share the difference between that article and my article on indie artist Sounds of Imani. As far as references go, I did submit a reference for the U.K. online magazine -- as TolumiDE has an online magazine as well. In addition, I noticed TolumiDE article has less information. Did I put in too much info?

I've added a link to a scientific article in which RegressIt was used in the analysis (and cited as such). It is actually in fairly widespread use and is well-known: it has a #1 Google page rank for searches on "Excel regression add-in". I have also added a "features" page to the RegressIt web site ( http://regressit.com/features.html) which I hope will put its contribution in better perspective. Please try it out and share it with some colleagues and get their opinions too. Thanks!
(Added 5 March 2015): Here is one more link (from the web site of the world's leading expert on forecasting) that refers to RegressIt: http://www.forecastingprinciples.com/ (See the news item at or near the top for this date, and also the software page.) I also hope you will ask whoever monitors the statistical add-ons section of the list-of-statistical software page ( /info/en/?search=List_of_statistical_packages#Statistical_add-ons) what he or she thinks of it, after taking it for a test drive. This is where a link to the RegressIt page would naturally fit, and the question is whether a user visiting this page would be better served by being made aware of an innovative recently developed--and free--product, or not. It is a practical software tool intended for use in both education and scientific applications (as opposed to a person or place or artwork or historical event), and I hope that its notability will be judged on its merits as such. Thanks for giving this your attention.

I have just added independent citations to several claims in the article. One such claim is that Gowe was involved in the national Fearless Tour. The added sources should bring the article to meet Musician Notability criteria #4, stating that the musician must have non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country (in this case, the United States). Please let me know if this assists in adding substance to at least one of the article's notability claims. The "...Asian American Christian Hip Hop artists in one room" claim currently has no independent coverage aside from the cited documentary, but I do believe the national concert is valid.

Greetings, Thank you for reviewing the article Wibu-Systems AG ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Wibu-Systems_AG, user name: thomricci) on September 19, 2014. In your rejection statement, you mentioned that "A company may be notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources, independent of the company. Of the sources listed, only the Computerworld article provides any depth of coverage." I am hoping that you can clarify this statement so that I might improve the article and resubmit. I don't understand why the Computerworld article is more significant than the other citations and external references - all are from reputable 3rd party trade publications and industry organizations. The company plays an important role in the software industry by providing protection against software piracy and reverse engineering, secure licensing, and cybersecurity, all critical concerns in today's connected world.

Hi there! First, please let me say that I very much appreciate the time you took to to review the submission. I'll be happy to correct the issues. The paraphrase issue you mentioned is understood, but I'm not clear about your comments about NPOV. Would you mind giving me one or two examples from the article where you see that issue so that it will be easier for me to correct? At the moment I'm a bit flummoxed because there was nobody who was really against the peace treaty so it's difficult to find an opposing point of view. Or are you more referring to words like "spearheaded" or sentences like "This led to a system that would entrench and enrich the 'in-group' of the day, and establish barriers to access for the 'out-groups'." It's really not clear to me. Thanks! (

Hello Onel5969, Thank you for reviewing my first submission. I understand that you want to see more references. The problem with more references is that they were before the internet and Maryland state archives are not electronic or on the web. I will be calling the Maryland State Archives today or tomorrow, to see what I can find. Ambassador Kapneck was the first State Trade Ambassador, as far as I know, so this is important, and he is also the longest-service Trade Ambassador. The big problem with references is that he has been very quiet, not giving interviews over the years, he said it was because when he speaks, it is as though the Governor was speaking, so he almost never speaks to the press. Obviously, there were appointments and reappointments over the years. This is why I will call the State Archives.
Even if I am able to find those, they will be printed documents. Please can you give me some advice on how I can handle the references that Wikipedia needs, to tell this story? There are a few more stories and references to those, such as the time that Princess Anne came to the US with Prince Charles and met Mr. Kapneck. There were print stories about that, and Google has those :

Hi again, I couldn't figure out how to reply to your answer so I just wrote a new one and pasted your answer. If there is another way of doing thing then please inform me so I can do it correctly in the future
"Hi MuayThaiInfo - that may be true, but the references don't show his significance. The first is an interview, which means that it's a primary source... Wikipedia likes secondary, independent sources. The second is to a wikipage, which isn't a valid reference at all. The third is to YouTube, which is not a reliable source. The fourth is merely mentioning him, while the fifth mentions him only tangentially, it's really about another fighter, which is the same for the sixth. The seventh is an ad, which is completely unreliable. Take a look at WP:RS to see what classifies as a reliable and independent article. Your first reference, would qualify if it was an article, not an interview. #'s 4, 5 and 6 would qualify, but they don't talk about the subject in a significant way. I hope this helps"
First of all I think I have to mention that in the fight game (excluding Olympic sports and Boxing) most information is shared via interviews and often through facebook (events, seminars, ranking etc) and since I knew that you do not take facebook as a source I didn't add those. I think I might have named links incorrectly which might have been a bit confusing but I'm going to try to sort it out.
Link 2. You mention that a wikipage isn't a valid reference at all which I find odd since this is Wikipedia but there is no international keeper of fight records for Muay Thai and Kickboxing. Wikipedia is used for that and Farnams opponent (Shane Campbell) already had a wikipage which also mentions Farnman so I thought would be legit.
Link 3. Could you please advise how to offer video proof without using youtube? I used this link because it clearly shows the TV channel logo and you can hear the commentators but if there is another way please inform me.
Link 4. This link is in Swedish but it is all about Farnam and mentions him as one of the best and most merited fighters from Sweden.
Link 5-6 (now 6-7). Both articles are about other teams/fighters with Farnam mentioned as a trainer. This is in the "Training and Coaching" section so I find it very valid. It's no longer about Farnam as a fighter but him as a coach.
Link 7 (now 8). I might have labeled it wrong calling it "Tv-spot". This is not an ad. It is a pre-fight Tv show. It's like a documentary following the fighters similar to UFC road to the octagon.
I had a couple of links that I didn't know where to add but I have now added one (Now Link 5) which is an article about foreign fighters and trainers in China with Farnam being the subject for foreign trainer.
I also have access to newspaper with articles about Farnam in Thai but I would have to scan and upload them to some website and I don't know if that would be accepted as a source.
Thank you again for taking your time, I hope I was able to provide enough explanation to why there are mainly interview sources.

Dear Onel5969,
Thank you for reviewing this Wikipedia entry. Over the past week I have diligently reviewed the notability and referencing guidelines, and have significantly updated the entry so that it features much more robust references and citations.
When you have a moment I would very much appreciate you taking a look at the new version which has the following new improvements:
1) Public endorsements by extremely notable and world-renowned individuals - Robert Downey Jr. (newly cited in The Times of India as well as GoGoMix) and Sting (newly cited at The Omega Institute for Holistic Studies and in the online outlet The Meta Arts Magazine).
2) New public endorsements by notable peers in the field - Rob Brezsny (cited in The Village Voice) and April Kent (cited in a Penguin Group published book).
3) New interviews a) with a notable peer - founder of All Music Guide, Michael Erlewine - and b) in the online outlet The Meta Arts Magazine.
4) New citations from educational institutions - The Omega Institute for Holistic Studies and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
5) Robust and new citations from notable major media outlets - The Los Angeles Times, Esquire, O, The Oprah Magazine, The Times of India, The News and Observer, and The Village Voice.
I truly appreciate your wikipedia wisdom and expertise on this, and thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Hi OpenMind - there were two persondata templates at the bottom of the page. I removed one, so the warning is now gone. Regarding the redirect, you did absolutely the correct thing. If the redirect is deleted, you should rename your page simply Steven Forrest, as he would be the only article by that name. I'll keep an eye on it. A Dab (disambiguation) isn't really appropriate in this instance, since there are really no other entries for Steven Forrest. If that band member had his own page, and if he was truly not a major star (e.g. Paul McCartney), than the proper moves would be to rename that person's page, Steven Forrest (musician), leave your page alone, and create a dab. I hope this all makes sense to you. Onel5969 ( talk) 15:55, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
Dear Wiki Reviewer,
I have added five sources and clarified details on further sources.
I wonder, is the fact that she has written and published close to 20 volumes of scholarship and poetry from major publishers in Japan and the U.S. not enough to justify her presence on Wikipedia? She has an extensive page in the Japanese wiki as well.
Should I be documenting the books that she has published in more detail? Surely, wiki wouldn't be challenging the existence of these volumes, or so I would imagine.
Given her contributions to literature and academia on a global scale (as recognized by multiple international awards from major institutions), I believe she should be given further consideration. If my documentation is inadequate, I can continue working to show this.
Any further advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello--
Thanks for reviewing my article; could you explain what you mean by "This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article"? I didn't get a reply from the first two reviewers that rejected the submission, and when I ask for advice from the forums the response is basically "I don't know why the last reviewer felt that way, I certainly don't see an issue with the tone or style of your submission; you should just resubmit and let another reviewer look at it, then you should be fine."
But since this is now the third time I've gotten that same statement, verbatim, I'd like to request a little more info, please. Also, there seems to be some issue with my sources not being independent, reliable, or published; can you give more info on that? Of the 17 different references included in the submission, none are from Doppler Studios (the subject of the article) or any entity associated with them; several are from sources that have been established for longer than Wikipedia has been around (news organizations like CNN, and many print publications); all have been published. I wonder if because so many of them refer to Doppler Studios in their headlines, that someone is mistaking those for articles written or published by Doppler Studios?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am slightly perturbed by this because I have read the guidelines very carefully, and this analysis does not seem to correspond at all to the very clear definition within Wikipedia guidelines. It appears that the topic has received dozens of mentions in edited media, which treat of the topic very substantially (not brief mention etc). Some of these references are already within the citation list (per guidelines, not all have to be). You have specifically asked for additional
wp:rs. I gently challenge you on this, not in behalf of the article, but as inconsistent with written policy. You also contend that the topic is being worded as an advert. This is a subjective assessment, and I respect your opinion, but I would therefore ask for a more complete explanation of what exactly you find
WP:npov or inappropriate
wp:tone, or that you would continue to contend after reassessing now as "reading with unencyclopedic tone and like as advertisement" (or equivalent). This article has been subject to this type of contention repeatedly, and I am determined to work collaboratively on specifics to resolve the concern(s). Again, this is not in behalf of the topic, but a challenge as to whether this decline is guideline based. To do this, I am therefore politely requesting exact information, rather than broad characterization without any detail. Last, I would ask that you restore the redaction added by DGG to the erroneous contentions within his initial decline comment. DGG graciously admitted that the comments were wrong (see the edit history), and struck through the comment. Perhaps inadvertently, you reverted his strike through: did you do so by mistake?

The topic is not irremediable. What you need are references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements
I think it might be helpful if we make sure we are using the same guideline, so here is guideline language of the "basic criteria" whereby a topic is "presumptively" (per guideline)
notable as a
wp:blp: QUOTING --
I know it isn't a debate. It's a genuine attempt to see what you are thinking, so that I can collaboratively resolve the issue. In my opinion, you have not specified your advertising concern whatsoever, but have made a generalization. Please point to the exact problem. I will be pleased to change anything that you can point to. As to wp:n, I also diagree, and I have explained why. I am not stupid, and I'm sorry if I am being a pain to youyou need to explain your viewpoint more clearly please. FeatherPluma ( talk) 01:37, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
OK. It's clear, for you. Can I therefore take it that the topic is irremediable? I am sorry if you think I am pushing, but I am merely trying to really grasp things, and collect examples of how Wikipedia behaves. My purpose is to see if I can help with the article. FeatherPluma ( talk) 01:43, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
FeatherPluma, the topic is in my opinion not irremediable. the subject is probably notable, so it's a matter of tone. (You will understand that we have had considerable difficult with attempted advertising by plastic surgeons and others in related specialties, and we are therefore carefully on the watch to prevent more of it.) I suggest the following:
Be aware that when we approve an article at AfC, we do this on the basis that it is likely to be kept at AfD. This article will very possibly be challenged there, and you would therefore be well advised to make it as strong as possible. Only the community can decide, and the community is sometimes unpredictable. They've kept worse, and thrown out better. DGG ( talk ) 06:07, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello, DGG,
Hi Onel5969, thanks for taking the time to review the Forma lms draft page. I don't understand the reason, since the sources indicated seem to be all clearly notable and independent: if winning an international award at is 14th edition, being classified as second best worldwide by one of the most notable sector analysts, being considered in european researches among similar solutions, being listed in independent international directories, being reviewed by the first national webzine are not considered significant, notable and independent sources...what else?
Also, consider that forma lms is not a company or organization, but a free open source software product: does this guideline apply anyway?

Thanks for reviewing my article. I wrote this article myself and the information if factual and not copied from another source. I'm not sure how to edit the page so that the content is no longer copyrighted. It is an article about an individual and therefore the information about him is available on many different websites, but none of it was copyrighted.
Thank you!

Dear reviewer: I will make another attempt, following the guidelines as best as I can understand them. In your most recent rejection, you questioned the notability of the subject (Edward Aust) - as will be seen (better highlighted perhaps) in my next iteration, this is a legal author whose writings continue to be used as references by the highest courts in Canada. Not sure within the law profession what more he would need to be notable. In any event, this has been a tremendous learning experience - and will give this one more attempt following guidelines to the letter. Many thanks, Cal

Based on our previous conversation about your suggested changes to the Wiki article I submitted (you said that, based on my changes, the intro and history sections were now good, but the info section still needed work), I went back and made a few more changes to make the article not seem like "advertising" or "promotional" as you said.

Hello.... I'm coming to you for your opinion because of the amazing advise that you provided in past. I've think I've solve the Hostyle Gospel citing problem, so thanks for the advise. The issue I am having right now is with an article that I wrote a week ago. I feel another person took my article and got credit for it. I received an email earlier this morning informing me that the Canon (rapper) was created. I looked for the credit on my Wiki User wall, by only saw a message from the user who claim my article. The Canon (rapper) was created in the past, however Wikipedia took the article down because of poor sources. After noticing there wasn't an article for Canon, I took the liberty to rewrite the article and cite my finding how Wikipedia instructed us to do so. This may seem patty, but I am having a hard time getting articles accepted Wikipedia. My Hostyle Gospel article is currently being view and if that article doesn't get accepted, I don't know what Wikipedia will do with me. Could you please help me get credit for all the hard work I've done. Thank You Graceking123 ( talk) 02:20, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Onel5969,
I don't understand your decline, as it does not offer any specific reason other than the blanket-statement of notability. Dyncall is powering well-known Perl6's virtual machines, and comparable projects like libffi have a wiki page, also. Compared to the latter it even is the only library out there with native windows support and thus notable by itself. The reference-list has been kept intentionally short to not copy and paste what's on the official website itself, as this wouldn't be the nature of an encyclopedia. Please re-review or give real reasons for improvement, so the article can be redrafted. Thanks
Hi Onel5969,
Thanks for the helpful comments about my page on Larry Nucci. I made some changes in line with what you suggested -- added external sources to make his notability more apparent, and changed some of the language and references.

After the first rejection, two additional outside references were added (now #1 and #2) and a new section on Architecture added. The first link is to the Oregon State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) database of historical buildings in Oregon. If one clicks on the "Inventory Form" one will find a four page report describing the building and its significance - some comments include "Outstanding decorative features include sandstone entry façade, eave cornice, brackets & dentils." Later in the report it says "It is a good example of Italian Renaissance style building with detailed stonework on the front façade, rare in Eugene." The second link is to a 39-page National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Multiple Property Document Form for the Eugene West University Neighborhood. Page 23 discusses the Administration building and notes its significance for listing: "These buildings are potentially significant under criteria c for their architectural distinction, criterion a for association with historical events and criterion b for important persons." The Oregon SHPO lists the building as both significant and eligible for listing on the NRHP. I am sure that if it was listed then Wikipedia would consider it "notable." Not considering the building "notable" according to Wikipedia criteria simply because the university chooses not to list it due to financial issues that would be a hardship for a small private educational institution is, I believe, penalizing. The building is a landmark in Eugene, Oregon, the oldest building on the campus (107 years old), and still in active use today as an administrative facility and for classrooms. Permission to use the photo was submitted to Wikimedia on January 7, 2015. Please reconsider your rejection of this fine structure.

Your notes on relying on quotations is understood, however, these sources are rare, notable, and qualitatively more useful in a realm where wikipedia is not respected as a meritable source. If changes must be made, may I include the full quotations with more filler-type text around them? Do you prefer an anonymous essay, or an accolade of achievements for the subject in question?

Wondering why is was rejected. Verifiable? it's a show that is broadcasted out of Pittsburgh on Channel 2, Syndicated on Apple TV, Google.TV and the Roku. Do you mean I just need references? What needs to be done to get this listed.
You wrote (comment on my article, reason for rejection), "Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research." I am a little puzzled by what constitutes a "secondary source." In the case of Claude Montal, the published sources include two biographies published during his lifetime, several lengthy newspaper articles also published during his lifetime, together with many reports of his work by various societies, published as journals. Those are my major sources, and I can cite more of them if that would help. Do you consider them "secondary" sources?" They are certainly reliable.
More modern (20th/21st century) sources are pretty slim, sketchy, and unreliable - which is a lack I am trying to remedy by submitting this article. I am definitely an "original researcher," having pored through all sorts of original documentation as well (Montal's patents, an inventory of his possessions taken at his death, etc.) I have written a series of six articles concerning his life, which were published in the Piano Technicians Journal in 2012-13. And I have written the article on Montal for the Groves Dictionary of Musical Instruments. Do those constitute "secondary, reliable sources?" Should I cite them? (I have been reluctant to, as I am the author).
As for style, I can certainly make it read less like an essay, give it more of the style of a neutral point of view, if that is what is required. I can also provide many more references (all published materials) if that is desirable. But I am a little at a loss as to how to proceed, in case most of my article is considered "original research," and in case the sources I am relying on are considered "primary" sources.

Dear reviewer,
Thank you for your review of my page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Flamant
As I have been trying to get this page online for over a year I would like to ask some more feedback.
I chatted with several reviewers in the chatbox, they agreed my sources were legit.
About the content they were less consistent. One said I should leave out info, another said I should add more history info.
As I don't have enough references for a long history I chose to keep it short and well referenced.
I don't understand your remark about the sources.
Every single one of the used sources is a respected medium.
The Ny times, De Standaard, le Soir, Cote Maison are all high profile and quality publications.
Even the website of the Belgian Monarchy is used as a source, which is about as formal and respected as it gets.
I guess I can indeed still tweak in the tone of voice and make it more formal.
But when it comes to sources I believe this is already astounding.
Or do you mean I should reference paper publications? In that case you won't be able to check the references? I figured the article would benefit from using web references from quality newspaper's and magazine's websites.
Thank you for your feedback.

Hi there, first off, I appreciate your reviewing my submission, but I do have some questions. The main reason cited for the articles dismissal was that the sources fail to adequately show the subjects notability. The sources were national publications (MTV, Rolling Stone), local publications (Oak City Hustle), and international website interviews, as well as record label websites. I read and then re-read the suggested article "guidelines on notability of music-related topics" and found that the subject met at least six of the first twelve listed criteria, of which the requirement is stated to be one. Please let me know where I went wrong as based on the reason listed for dismissal, I am very confused. I am confident that the information and cross wiki-linked articles illustrate substantial notability. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for your recent review of my (first) article on Mark Everist. I was hopeful that you might be able to help me improve the article so that it can be published. Your justification for rejecting the submission reads: 'This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability—see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics 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'. Other articles on similar musicologists have much less regarding referencing, for example please see: /info/en/?search=Roger_Parker and /info/en/?search=Richard_Taruskin These articles were both published without significant references either. I have, however, referenced the largest and most authoritative music encyclopaedia in the english language, Grove Music Online (OUP). This is a source that all music academics frequently use. The information is verifiable (assuming you have a subscription or access to a local library that has a copy of this multi-volume source). What I find particularly interesting about the review is that an OUP source is not 'verifiable' and moreover, that Oxford University Press finds 'Mark Everist' worthy of a subject entry in the largest english-language music encyclopaedia but apparently Wikipedia does not. I would be most grateful to you if you had further suggestions of what may be done to improve this article. If Oxford Uni Press encyclopaedia is not a reputable and satisfactory source, could you then please point me in the right direction? Also, it seems interesting that similarly acclaimed musicologists have had articles published with much less citation. Many thanks. SPG2015 ( talk) 18:54, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

I have recently submitted an article on a Romanian company, Avangate, /info/en/?search=Draft:Avangate. From what I understand from your comment the resources we provided are not reliable and are internally produced. I must say that all the resources we have included are from verified and trustworthy external publications that are unrelated to Avangate. Could you please explain more on this subject? Secondly, would you be so kind as to give me an example of an "advertising" sentence or paragraph and also how it should be reformulated in order to sound more neutral? We are open even to the possibility of someone else writing the article, as we want it to be approved. If you could make a suggestion on how we could ask someone to write it for us that would be excellent.
Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to your answer. Have a nice week,

Hi Onel5969. Thank you for taking the time to review my submission. I understand your problem, I think, as far as notability is concerned, and I hope I have addressed it by adding in a load more external references. I'm not sure that I have added them in the best format, but hopefully they will at least go some way to addressing your notability issue. If I need to change the format, particularly of the bunch at the top, then please put me right.
Thanks a lot.

Hi there,
You reviewed my submission for the page "Conscience: Taxes for Peace not War" but deemed it too similar to the document here: http://www.brad.ac.uk/library/media/library/specialcollections/documents/CwlPTCCLDApr2010.pdf
I have since gotten permission for use of the document from the Bradford archive and I contacted the successor organisation to the Peace Tax Campaign who sent an email using the template in order to remove any doubt about copyright usage rights.
The article has not been released yet (I know there is a backlog).
Would I still need to edit the article even with the release from the archive and Conscience?
If so, would you be kind enough to highlight what I should change as I do not wish to rewrite the entire article.
Your help would be much appreciated here.
Thank you.

Thanks for your posting on the article re: notability and the need for more references.
I'm in the process of making some additions and making the article rather more substantial. Since you live in the US (as I do as well, but I am a Brit and am currently in London) you may not be so familiar with Parker as I because I've been to some of his lectures (inc. his Belisario study afternoon in 2012) and also because I write a lot on WP about Italian opera of the 19th century.
His American counterpart is Philip Gossett who is about 10 years older than Parker. Maybe you could look at that article and, if you have any pointers on how to improve the Parker one, I'd appreciate it. However, as a member of WP:OPERA, I do intend to seek input there as well. One link between both of these men has been these work on the critical editions of important 19th C operas - Gossett's for Verdi, Parker's primarily for Donizetti.

Hello,
Here is the article to be published /info/en/?search=Draft:Gordon_Singleton
I have edited he article down in size leaving most of the important information.
Gordon Singleton is my son-in-law. He had a tremendous career as a racing cyclist. I'm having difficulty creating the citations WIKI requires. I'm 84 years old and computers are not my cup of tea.
There are many references to Gordon all over WIKI, here are few links to substantiate the article. /info/en/?search=World_record_progression_track_cycling_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_flying_500_m_time_trial /info/en/?search=World_record_progression_track_cycling_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_flying_200_m_time_trial /info/en/?search=World_record_progression_track_cycling_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_1_km_time_trial
Scroll down to the year 1980, you will see his name for the 500m - 200m - and one kilometer. He is also listed in French language https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Singleton
Any help you can give to publish this article would be helpful, I would like to surprise my son in law

Hi Onel5969,
Thank you so much for taking the time to review the article I created. I revised the article and removed the peacock terms, and I also updated the wording of the article to be more of a formal/encyclopedic tone. I removed any first-person and second-person pronouns that I found.
I was hoping when you have a moment you could take another look at the article. This is also my first time writing an article for Wikipedia, so any other tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi There,
Thank you so much for taking the time to review my submission. I would appreciate some help moving it from the rejected category into a published article. Here is a link to the Draft: /info/en/?search=Draft:Luke_Harmon-Vellotti

When you have a moment, please let me know what type of sources did not count that I referenced, and also what I should source instead. I have plenty of resources as far as independent verification that I could add to my submission. Also, how would I add my subject into a particular category? I believe that there is a category just for International Chess Masters, as far as, notable subjects.

Also, a good chess player and an Internationally titled player such as IM Luke Harmon-Vellotti is very different. In fact, Wikipedia has it's own category for them since it is such a rare achievement, especially for a young player. See FIDE titles: /info/en/?search=FIDE_titles#International_Master_.28IM.29. I did independently source this on the original submission here: https://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?event=2030012. IM Harmon-Vellotti title is also noted at this link, which is the sole worldwide governing body for granting international chess titles. The governing body cite also notes IM Harmon-Vellotti is the #3 ranked U18 player in the US, the #4 ranked player in both Americas, and the #47 ranked U18 player in the world. Here is the list from Wiki that notes all of the other International Masters in the world with listed pages. Many of them have the singular achievement of having attained this title, even with no other notable accomplishments since it is so difficult to attain. As noted on Wiki: An International Master is usually in the top 0.25% of all tournament players at the time he or she receives the title.[7] The November 2010 FIDE rating list records 3036 players holding the IM title.
He is also the youngest ever recipient of the prestigious merit Stamps Foundation Scholarship, which is also on Wiki here: /info/en/?search=Stamps_Family_Charitable_Foundation. He is also one of the youngest students ever to attend the University of Los Angeles, CA as he was granted admission as a full-time student at the age of 14, which is already sourced here in the video links: Kendall, Rebecca "14-year-old math, chess prodigy enrolls at UCLA" - "University of California, Los Angeles Newsroom".

Hi -- my article /info/en/?search=Draft:The_Forbidden_Room_(2015_film) was declined due to lack of disparate sources, and now that more sources have appeared I plan to update and resubmit it.

Before I spend more time on this, I'm wondering if the "soon-ness" of this is outweighed by the prominence of Maddin in international cinema. Maddin is certainly Canada's most significant director, alongside Cronenberg and Egoyan, although less commercially successful -- but is possibly the most influential director in Canada's independent cinema with a reputation worldwide. As such, it seems to me that any of his major works (e.g., features like THE FORBIDDEN ROOM) deserves its own page. Anyway, I'm wondering if I should spend time improving and resubmitting by adding more detail in terms of things like the critical reception, etc., so that the page can be improved later on, or if the time is better spent waiting for time to pass. I'm a film scholar but relatively new to Wikipedia, and trying to spend free time improving the pages for certain neglected Canadian cinema figures and films. John Paizs is next, but I'd like to finish up Maddin stuff first. But also don't want to waste my time. Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks! JonathanGBall ( talk) 19:53, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks again for your expertise and knowledge and I appreciated your comments/feedback.

Hello. First, thanks for taking the time to review my submissions. It's greatly appreciated, as is your feedback. I'm writing to request additional information regarding your recent review. The page was not accepted, saying that the article did not adequately show the subject's notability. After reviewing the notability criteria for musicians and ensembles, I believe the subject of the article is notable enough to be included, and that the article displays this fact. I'll list various criteria below, and the corresponding facts that support it from the article.
Criteria: Has won or placed in a major music competition. Wickam is a four-time Colorado State Fiddling Champion, and has been a finalist four times at the Grand Masters’ Fiddler Championship.
Criteria: Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award. While not nominated, Wickam's album "Old School Old Time" was on the 1st Grammy Ballot in four categories.
Criteria: Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. The Wickam Family Band performed from 1992-1995 on Blinky's Fun Club, a syndicated TV show recorded at KWGN Denver.
Each of these items is mentioned in the article.
I understand that subjectivity in the criteria and interpretation of them can create differences of opinion, and I also realize that I'm new to Wikipedia. But I would request a re-review of the article based on these items and, if the decision remains, additional information on why it is not being accepted on grounds of notability. I hope to be able to clarify the article as needed so that it warrants inclusion, and I appreciate any assistance you can offer toward this end.
Thanks again, and take care. -Mark

Hello,
I appreciate your review of the Wiki my friend (Padrick3) and myself put together. While it is under his name, I did the majority of the writing, since didn't have an account at the time, and he was better at formatting it here. I would like to edit it in such a way to allow it to be published. The main concern I have is your mention of the current references not being up to Wikipedia's standards. I am confused about this, I thought my sources, which are traceable. If they are not up to Wiki's standards, could you be more explicit on why? If the issue is more of a lack of sources, I can go through the list of sources I didn't use and try to put them into the Bio.
I also was unsure about the use of my external links. That is more evidence of the work Donald Doe has done, and the ownership of some of his pieces. I was hoping that it would assist in giving reference to the reality of what is written. Would it be better to reference them different, rather than place them as external links?
I understand my wiki might have been too bias. I am doing this for my father, Donald G. Doe, and with my degrees in literary theory I was having trouble finding a middle ground between essay-writing and non-biased bio writing. This could be seen in my use of quotation. Would it be best if I edit it down significantly, and then perhaps my sources would be more useful? I understand since this is a living person it might be difficult to have an extensive description without many sources. Since a lot of the sources I have, including some not listed such as Artstor, are just images of paintings with date of show and name of show, I found it hard to cite that.
Another question I have is how to be allowed to add in pictures. My father has given me images of himself and particular art-work that he would like shown here, how do I legally put it up? He obviously has ownership of these pictures, it is just a matter of proving that I have been granted the OK to put them up.

Hello, thank you for your evaluation of this submission. However, I am surprised by the statement that "this submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability". One of the references is an obituary of John Dennis Carthy in the journal Nature - one of the most reputable multidisciplinary scientific journals. Only scholars with significant international esteem will receive this sort of honour. If it's difficult to find a copy of the article in Nature (from 1972), I am happy to forward a scanned copy.

Hello Onel5969
Thank you for reaching out to me.
This is my first attempt at a submission and boy oh boy did I mess up!
I feel just horrible because I'm trying to help a musician who is really accomplished and completely botched the process by lending my credentials thinking they would be helpful - add weight to the credibility of the submission. It seems instead to have hurt him and I feel just terrible. I want to try and fix it if I can.
I just last evening sent an email to Aaron Green to try and resolve things so I'm not sure if the rejection you see has come in since that time or if you are speaking about what has happened previously with the photo submission. I can't figure out how to see anything in Wikipedia's backend I'm afraid.
Essentially, I was trying to protect the artist from potential problems in the future regarding the photo submission and ran into some confusion about why that was an issue. I went with my natural instinct, which was to protect the artist. I didn't understand their was a conflict with WikiMedia Commons on that. Since sorting it out I have tried to resolve the situation by submitting a photo I took that will not likely have a "merchandising" appeal thus addressing my overall concerns.
I'm hopeful that the new photo, along with the additional resource information I sent regarding Erick Macek's career, is enough to get his entry posted.
I would love to have a mentor/guide/hand-holder through the process if you are willing.
I am terrible at coding and all things tech-based but believe this artist deserves his page and I want to do everything I can to help him get it.
Thanks for reaching out. I look forward to your reply. You can always reach me on email as well at flanders@fastmail.fm. I would be happy to forward you what I sent Aaron Green as well so we are all on the same page moving forward.

However, I'm sorry but I need clarification the copyright issue, Friday Harbour Resorts is part of Geranium - owned by the same company with the same people writing the materials for both. This is approved wording by head office, and I'm hoping you can help me understand why it's a copyright if it's the same company. Should I put these as a reference? http://fridayharbourresort.com/media/press/HomesMag_June2013_Friday_Harbour.pdf and http://fridayharbourresort.com/media/press/TorontoStar_Sat_Aug.24_2013_Friday_Harbour.pdf or similiar articles? Your guidance would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks. And to make sure there is no conflict of interest, yes I do work for Geranium Homes. thanks for letting me know to do that.

I do not understand why do you consider that this topic is not NOTABLE as papers are published on this topic, working group of asset managers in Europe and worldwide is discussing this topic for the last 5 years, ??? The field is brand new - only the last 10 years this type of test was performed as a condition assessment of power transfromers and OLTCs, so in the elecctric power industry - especially HV utility indistry this is a very hot subject. Tap Changer University - an event presented for the third consecutive year for the engineers in the asset management field from power utilities presents this topic... If the reviewer is not familiar with the field of power engineering, maybe another reviewer should verify the Noteability??
Good Morning Onel5969,
I had a few questions on my article link below. I provided newspaper and government references for the article, what other information can I provide to get the article approved?

Hi there,
You recently rejected my submission on the grounds that it reads like an advertisement. This is the article: /info/en/?search=Draft:SL_Corporation_(software_company)
Can you give me a sense where the main problems lie? Looking at the guidelines, I would guess it is one of two things: 1. too much product information 2. need better sources
I think I wrote in a pretty neutral voice, but is that problematic too?
any feedback you can provide would be appreciated,
thanks,

USERNAME: Ethersearch RE: My article "Saul Grigorievich Bron" (original title "Saul G. Bron") /info/en/?search=Saul_Grigorievich_Bron
Dear Editor,
Thank you for reviewing and posting my article “Saul G. Bron” (“Saul Grigorievich Bron.”).
This article to a large degree is derived from my recently published, highly acclaimed, long article “The Soviet Problem with Two ‘Unknowns’: How an American Architect and a Soviet Negotiator Jump-Started the Industrialization of Russia” published by IA, Journal of the Society for Industrial Archeology 36 (2): 57–80 and 37 (1/2): 5–28, a double-blind, peer reviewed journal for professional industrial historians. This article was a result of a three-year long research and is based mostly on the primary sources and previously not published documents from the archives in Russia and USA. After becoming a victim of Stalin’s repressions in 1938, Saul G. Bron’s name was practically erased from the Russian history. Even though his name is well known to Soviet economy scholars in the West, as of today, my published article is, in fact, the main source of the biographical information about this important historical figure.
The article has been assessed as C-Class. To improve it, I would appreciate understanding more precisely why it received that rating, since the description of “C” in the Wikipedia grading scheme covers a lot of ground, saying only that it “fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class.” I’m wondering in particular whether you would prefer that I used more inline citations instead of just listing the main sources, which to a large degree is the aforementioned article, which has over 200 notes. Also, the title of the article was changed from “Saul G. Bron” to “Saul Grigorievich Bron.” I think, “Saul G. Bron” would most likely be used by anybody searching for information about this person for the following reasons:
1) Saul G. Bron is the name most familiar to English-language scholars in Soviet history and economics. It is the name on the cover of Bron’s most notable book, Soviet Economic Development and American Business: Results of the first year under five-year plan and further perspectives (New York, H. Liveright, 1930). The same name was extensively used by contemporaneous English-language newspaper and magazine articles. When you Google “Saul G. Bron”, you get 540 hits, including books, while “Saul Grigorievich Bron” returns only links to my published article and my article on Wikipedia.
2) It appears that the Wikipedia articles on similar Soviet political figures of the period, e.g. Anastas Mikoyan, Leonid Krasin, and Valery Mezhlauk, all mentioned in my Wikipedia article, follow the same format: just the first and last name of the person in the title of the article and in the Infobox, followed with the full name, including the patronymic name, in the first paragraph of the main text (Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan, Leonid Borisovich Krasin, Valery Ivanovich Mezhlauk). Other examples include Lazar Kaganovich, Maxim Litvinov, Georgy Chicherin, Nikolai Bukharin, Alexei Rykov, Nikolay Krestinsky, Vladimir Ksandrov, in addition to numerous others.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
USERNAME: Ethersearch RE: My article "Saul Bron” /info/en/?search=Saul_Bron
Dear Editor,
Many thanks for such a quick response. Thank you for correcting the title and making it consistent with the infobox. I am hugely embarrassed if the error was mine in the first place. But I am still somewhat concerned that it is “Saul Bron” and not “Saul G. Bron”, the way his name appears on his book title and the way he has been traditionally referred to in books, articles, and news at the time. What do you think?
I will look into adding a few inline citations.
Thank you again for your help.
P.S. Oh yes, when I created links from some terms in my article to other Wikipedia articles, I noticed that a title to the article at /info/en/?search=Gosproekstroi is misspelled. It is spelled Gosproekstroi but it should be spelled Gosproektstroi. I corrected the spelling in the body of the article but I cannot correct the title. Perhaps, you or some other editor can correct it?
I'm still figuring out these bigger discussions, normally, i just a fix a comma splice. But: http://voicesweb.org/advertise says it's a newspaper, and if you've seen it it's a newspaper, and thus, i'd suggest letting it be called a newspaper. re: a recent edit — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.58.106.50 ( talk) 04:21, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

First the page I created for Together Marketing was nominated for speedy deletion due to copyright infringement. I would like to contest this due to the fact that the administrator actually used my definition with my permission. The mix up comes because the definition on their page was immediately published while my Wikipedia page was still under review. They have since changed the wording of their definition via my request. I understand Jimfbleak was the actual user that deleted the page, but honestly I can't figure out how to use his talk page which is why I am appealing to you.
Second, you recommended that I merge Together Marketing with Affinity marketing which I also want to appeal. Affinity Marketing and Together Marketing may sound similar, but are pretty different. Affinity marketing seems to focus on a one on one relationship between affinity groups and suppliers where Together Marketing encourages working with many partners that are not limited to affinity groups in any way. From what I understand through the affinity group Wikipedia page, affinity groups are just "groups formed around a shared interest or common goal... and their purposes must be primarily non-commercial". Together marketing works with partners that are commercial and non-commercial alike. The partners can be anything from one blogger to a company as big as Nike and everything in between. So while it is not limited to affinity groups, they could also be brought in as partners along side other commercial partners. Affinity Marketing also involves some exchange of money as stated on their wiki page "But usually, affinity groups increase their income by asking a commission for example." Together marketing involves no monetary exchange between partners. The only objective is to help and get help from multiple partners to reach a bigger target audience. The working with multiple partners at once is what also separates Together Marketing from Co-branding.
As I'm sure you can tell, this is the first article I have ever submitted for Wikipedia. With that said, I obviously do not want to get myself banned or break any rules when attempting to resubmit my Together Marketing page. Any guidance on the best way to go about this process would be much appreciated. I also want to say that I had no idea how rigorous this process was and I have a new found respect for the information posted through Wikipedia as well as the extent that moderators go through to ensure quality content. Thank you for your work and for any help!

Regarding the submission of /info/en/?search=Draft:EAngel - This entry was created with the help of the respectful administrator Tokyogirl79 that helped me formalizing the text. Please have a look at the following Wikipedia entries:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginger_Software /info/en/?search=One_hour_translation /info/en/?search=Gengo

I would appreciate it if you could help me phrasing the Draft:EAngel entry, so it will be in the same language style as the other existing entries that I've listed above, so we can get it approved. I hope that you agree with me that we should not discriminate one service over the other, given that they are all notable and known in the world.

Hi there,
a few days ago we corresponded about my submission about Dr John Carthy, a notable British behavioural scientist and science communicator. The notability was questioned - you commented that a single obituary in the journal Nature, probably the world's most renowned science journal, was insufficient. I am unsure how this can be so - Nature certainly has very high standards for notability, and scientists do have to be of leading international standing to have their obituary published in that journal. However, even if more than one source is required, I had provided additional sources, but they cannot all be of Nature's standing. I have since located another one in: Journal of Biological Education; see here: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00219266.1972.9653749?journalCode=rjbe20#.VO89Ci7Pq4E
Would this be more suitable?
In addition, the authorship of the numerous books that John Carthy has authored (and which I had provided with the submission) is easily verifiable - many of them are still available on Amazon; the existence of the others can easily be verified.
John Carthy's activities as a science communicator on radio and TV are less easily documented more than 40 years after his death, but just googling his name with the word BBC turns up several find from the 1950s and 60s, for example:
http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/89faf4a0d85e4e898b2f684e6d52f4cf
http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbcone/london/1966-08-18
http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbchomeservice/basic/1959-10-30
Please let me know if any of these sources would be more suitable than the ones I had provided earlier. Thank you and best wishes,

Hi Lars - If you look at the WP:GNG an WP:BIO, you'll see that Wikipedia requires that the subject of an article "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". And they have to generally read sources, not "niche" sources. The three new sources merely mention that he was a speaker, they are not really about Carthy. The two obits are very good, and the new one is also good, but aren't there any other articles about him while he was alive? If you had the other obit into the article and re-submit, perhaps another editor will see it differently. I hope this helps. Onel5969 ( talk) 03:14, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

I do understand I must rewrite from a neutral standpoint and will rewrite from that standpoint; however, if you would be so kind as to give a few pointers that would be greatly appreciated. In comparison of other articles such as one I found on Wikipedia regarding another indie artist TolumiDE -- can you share the difference between that article and my article on indie artist Sounds of Imani. As far as references go, I did submit a reference for the U.K. online magazine -- as TolumiDE has an online magazine as well. In addition, I noticed TolumiDE article has less information.

I've added a link to a scientific article in which RegressIt was used in the analysis (and cited as such). It is actually in fairly widespread use and is well-known: it has a #1 Google page rank for searches on "Excel regression add-in". I have also added a "features" page to the RegressIt web site ( http://regressit.com/features.html) which I hope will put its contribution in better perspective. Please try it out and share it with some colleagues and get their opinions too. Thanks!
(Added 5 March 2015): Here is one more link (from the web site of the world's leading expert on forecasting) that refers to RegressIt: http://www.forecastingprinciples.com/ (See the news item at or near the top for this date, and also the software page.) I also hope you will ask whoever monitors the statistical add-ons section of the list-of-statistical software page ( /info/en/?search=List_of_statistical_packages#Statistical_add-ons) what he or she thinks of it, after taking it for a test drive. This is where a link to the RegressIt page would naturally fit, and the question is whether a user visiting this page would be better served by being made aware of an innovative recently developed--and free--product, or not. It is a practical software tool intended for use in both education and scientific applications (as opposed to a person or place or artwork or historical event), and I hope that its notability will be judged on its merits as such. Thanks for giving this your attention.

I have just added independent citations to several claims in the article. One such claim is that Gowe was involved in the national Fearless Tour. The added sources should bring the article to meet Musician Notability criteria #4, stating that the musician must have non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country (in this case, the United States). Please let me know if this assists in adding substance to at least one of the article's notability claims. The "...Asian American Christian Hip Hop artists in one room" claim currently has no independent coverage aside from the cited documentary, but I do believe the national concert is valid.
