"The references don't seem to refer directly to AirClim as an organisation, and why it's notable. Particularly, the last reference is a primary source, and unsuitable for sustaining notability. For books, it helps if you can cite the specific page number - click here for some advice on this."
All references refer to AirClim as an organisation, but either use the full name "The Air pollution and climate secretariat" or the former name "The Swedish NGO Secretariat on Acid Rain".
The sources mention AirClim as an influential NGO in European and International air Pollution politics, specifically in the LPRTAP process.
I have also compared the AirClim page to one sister organisation /info/en/?search=ChemSec, which almost only use primary sources. Why is that accepted, but not in this entry?

Ritchie333, thanks for your review and work in making a decision on the Pearmund Cellars page the I posted. I am new to Wikipedia and am working to establish more content on Virginia Wine, wineries and the people that have had an impact. Being new to the scene, I didn't expect the personal attacks among users, and appreciate your wading through all that.
I still want to contribute, specifically for topics on Virginia wine, because I do believe that it is an industry that will continue to grow and because there are some very unique aspects to the agriculture/tourism/business balance. I started with Pearmund Cellars because it is close to home and I felt they had a significant amount of press that could be referenced.
Do you have any recommendations for how I might contribute and build content on this industry while staying within the purpose and guidelines of Wikipedia. It looks like one thing is to contribute more articles and build my own credibility, so I'll work on that, but don't want to spin my wheels and have them all deleted.
Any guidance and feedback is appreciated.

I don't think a redirect would be called for, since he's not even mentioned anywhere on Garth's page, and only did one work for him. That would be like redirecting "Bryan Kennedy" to Garth's page — sure, Bryan also co-wrote The Beaches of Cheyenne, but it was Bryan's only time working with Garth, and the two acts are not otherwise related.

Just trying to figure out how the periodontal prosthesis article already exits. When I go to Prosthodontics I don't see anything but when I enter in the Periodontal Prosthesis it comes up under Prosthodontics but with no information, just the name.

Hello Richie333, Thank you very much for your frank reply to my question regarding the article being declined. I am surprised that you consider the Norfolk Records Office not to be an independent source in this case. When the gallery folded in 1999 all the official documents of the gallery where given to them which they store in 14 boxes. I have looked through 10 of them and can confirm that everything seems to be there. I didn't discover the historical account that they show on their website until recently and was very surprised because I didn't know of anybody left in the organisation who would have written it for them at that time. I can only assume that the staff there have gleaned the historical facts from the documents in the archive. Surely this is what any independent writer would do? The account that they have is very close to my written piece which I did from my memory and my own archive after being involved as the Treasurer for the first 9 years.
The notability issue is another matter. For the regional arts council, Eastern Arts Board, to award the organisation a steadily increasing Revenue Grant funding for 13 years must surely confirm it as a notable concern. The arts council never have that much funds to play with so give it out very carefully.
I will try again before long to submit the article and include your suggestion of the books containing written pieces concerning the gallery. If that fails I will 'throw in the towel' and leave it for some inspired writer to do the spadework and write a book or find some way to get an article in Wikipedia. Thank you again for your help.

I very much would like to see an article about the 4-string banjo, but not the mishmash that exists now or with the content under article title that was highjacked.

I see that you are doing a GA review of a play that I would consider a c-class article (except that c-class articles on plays should have a better plot summary). Just my 2 cents of caution as a person who has done a lot of editing on theatre-related articles: There is no description of how the play came to be written, or the writing process; there is a woefully inadequate plot summary; the themes section is perfunctory, there is no discussion of the production designs, choice of director/designers, the rehearsal process changes during previews. There is no critical post-mortem on the play - what has been the assessment of it since the early reviews? To compare a GA-class play article, see The Importance of Being Earnest. All the best! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 21:03, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Not bad at all. Tony's research is very good, and he has brought the article up to a good standard that will give readers lots of information about the play. I agree with your comment that the subject itself needs to mature a little before the sources will exist that will allow us to bring this farther. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 19:19, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
hello, I'm the one who put has put the majority of the interview Brent had with Blair Jackson on his wikipedia. Thats where i got all the quotes from.

Blair mailed me the interview, and i felt it had to go up on the page. this time last year there was all kind of non sense on there, and i feel now its the best its ever been, and good at providing a glimpse into a man who was otherwise pretty low key, and has tons of misconceptions of him floating around, and is unfortunately not here to speak for himself.

I am very grateful for your comments on my article. I am not sure how to proceed with improving the references (previous editors suggested that I need only indicate exactly where the documentation is located). I would be grateful if you could provide guidance on how to properly reference the article. With regard to the research prior to 1981, I was unable to find any references or data indicating the existence of underground clubs or events. I understand that the Maritime Hotel era was the foundation of the Northern Ireland Blues culture which reflected the UK mainstream scenes of Liverpool and London in the 1960’s. I spoke to individuals and journalists who attended the Maritime Hotel and all were adamant that they would have been opposed to being labelled underground. With regard to merging with the Belfast Culture article, I have given this much thought. I believe that the underground clubs do not reflect Belfast’s culture but strive to develop a unique and separate culture spreading beyond the confines of Northern Ireland.
Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated and I hope you can further assist me in getting the article to an acceptable level Wokmonkey ( talk) 18:33, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello Ritchie333. I am confused by your suggestion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk that the way I replied to Phil Whyte from Integritie UK Ltd was unreasonable. Please could you explain what was problematic in how I replied to him?
I am bringing this here because I don't see it as constructive to have an argument at that noticeboard about what he could or could not have known about the sources he himself provided. At the time he posted to the noticeboard, he had already seen a notice linking him to Wikipedia:VRS. That page explains in very clear language that press releases are not acceptable for proving notability, and that "directory listings don't count". It also explains that the "cited reference must be about the subject – addressing the subject directly in detail, and more than a trivial mention". I re-iterated all of this in my reply to him.
I have no problem with your telling him that "it might be too soon to have an article and we should wait until other news outlets follow the Telegraph's lead". But my reply would have enabled him to realise that same thing, but by considering the matter for himself and understanding better the issues with the sources he was providing. I really don't understand why you have a problem with what I wrote. Arthur goes shopping ( talk) 13:50, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie333,
Thanks for taking the time to look at my article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Causses and the Cévennes, Mediterranean agro-pastoral Cultural Landscape. You say that there is a problem because the article duplicates information in the separate Causses and Cévennes articles. I don't feel this is the case. My article is specifically about the World Heritage site named "The Causses and the Cévennes, Mediterranean agro-pastoral Cultural Landscape". For the most part, the article provides information specific to the site's World Heritage listing that probably wouldn't be appropriate in the page for either individual place.
I'm happy to provide more information about the World Heritage process, if need be, specifically with relation to "serial listings", i.e. a World Heritage "site" that is in fact a number of distinct sites grouped together under one single listing on the World Heritage List.

The first declination was because of the references I used. They needed to have information "about" the subject and not "from" the subject so I made the changes. This time, I'm being advised that the references that have information "about" the subject isn't credible enough and not reported by "reliable" sources. I don't understand. How can the information not be reliable? It is readily available for viewing on sites including the Huffington Post. Please, help me. This is very frustrating. Please help me.

Ritchie333, thanks for your review and work in making a decision on the Pearmund Cellars page the I posted. I am new to Wikipedia and am working to establish more content on Virginia Wine, wineries and the people that have had an impact. Being new to the scene, I didn't expect the personal attacks among users, and appreciate your wading through all that.
I still want to contribute, specifically for topics on Virginia wine, because I do believe that it is an industry that will continue to grow and because there are some very unique aspects to the agriculture/tourism/business balance. I started with Pearmund Cellars because it is close to home and I felt they had a significant amount of press that could be referenced.
Do you have any recommendations for how I might contribute and build content on this industry while staying within the purpose and guidelines of Wikipedia. It looks like one thing is to contribute more articles and build my own credibility, so I'll work on that, but don't want to spin my wheels and have them all deleted.
Any guidance and feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.-- Jlgorman24 ( talk) 21:50, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

I don't think a redirect would be called for, since he's not even mentioned anywhere on Garth's page, and only did one work for him. That would be like redirecting "Bryan Kennedy" to Garth's page — sure, Bryan also co-wrote The Beaches of Cheyenne, but it was Bryan's only time working with Garth, and the two acts are not otherwise related.

Just trying to figure out how the periodontal prosthesis article already exits. When I go to Prosthodontics I don't see anything but when I enter in the Periodontal Prosthesis it comes up under Prosthodontics but with no information, just the name.

Hello Richie333, Thank you very much for your frank reply to my question regarding the article being declined. I am surprised that you consider the Norfolk Records Office not to be an independent source in this case. When the gallery folded in 1999 all the official documents of the gallery where given to them which they store in 14 boxes. I have looked through 10 of them and can confirm that everything seems to be there. I didn't discover the historical account that they show on their website until recently and was very surprised because I didn't know of anybody left in the organisation who would have written it for them at that time. I can only assume that the staff there have gleaned the historical facts from the documents in the archive. Surely this is what any independent writer would do? The account that they have is very close to my written piece which I did from my memory and my own archive after being involved as the Treasurer for the first 9 years.
The notability issue is another matter. For the regional arts council, Eastern Arts Board, to award the organisation a steadily increasing Revenue Grant funding for 13 years must surely confirm it as a notable concern. The arts council never have that much funds to play with so give it out very carefully.
I will try again before long to submit the article and include your suggestion of the books containing written pieces concerning the gallery. If that fails I will 'throw in the towel' and leave it for some inspired writer to do the spadework and write a book or find some way to get an article in Wikipedia. Thank you again for your help.

I very much would like to see an article about the 4-string banjo, but not the mishmash that exists now or with the content under article title that was highjacked.

I see that you are doing a GA review of a play that I would consider a c-class article (except that c-class articles on plays should have a better plot summary). Just my 2 cents of caution as a person who has done a lot of editing on theatre-related articles: There is no description of how the play came to be written, or the writing process; there is a woefully inadequate plot summary; the themes section is perfunctory, there is no discussion of the production designs, choice of director/designers, the rehearsal process changes during previews. There is no critical post-mortem on the play - what has been the assessment of it since the early reviews? To compare a GA-class play article, see The Importance of Being Earnest. All the best! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 21:03, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Not bad at all. Tony's research is very good, and he has brought the article up to a good standard that will give readers lots of information about the play. I agree with your comment that the subject itself needs to mature a little before the sources will exist that will allow us to bring this farther. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 19:19, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
hello, I'm the one who put has put the majority of the interview Brent had with Blair Jackson on his wikipedia. Thats where i got all the quotes from.

Blair mailed me the interview, and i felt it had to go up on the page. this time last year there was all kind of non sense on there, and i feel now its the best its ever been, and good at providing a glimpse into a man who was otherwise pretty low key, and has tons of misconceptions of him floating around, and is unfortunately not here to speak for himself.

I am very grateful for your comments on my article. I am not sure how to proceed with improving the references (previous editors suggested that I need only indicate exactly where the documentation is located). I would be grateful if you could provide guidance on how to properly reference the article. With regard to the research prior to 1981, I was unable to find any references or data indicating the existence of underground clubs or events. I understand that the Maritime Hotel era was the foundation of the Northern Ireland Blues culture which reflected the UK mainstream scenes of Liverpool and London in the 1960’s. I spoke to individuals and journalists who attended the Maritime Hotel and all were adamant that they would have been opposed to being labelled underground. With regard to merging with the Belfast Culture article, I have given this much thought. I believe that the underground clubs do not reflect Belfast’s culture but strive to develop a unique and separate culture spreading beyond the confines of Northern Ireland.
Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated and I hope you can further assist me in getting the article to an acceptable level Wokmonkey ( talk) 18:33, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello Ritchie333. I am confused by your suggestion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk that the way I replied to Phil Whyte from Integritie UK Ltd was unreasonable. Please could you explain what was problematic in how I replied to him?
I am bringing this here because I don't see it as constructive to have an argument at that noticeboard about what he could or could not have known about the sources he himself provided. At the time he posted to the noticeboard, he had already seen a notice linking him to Wikipedia:VRS. That page explains in very clear language that press releases are not acceptable for proving notability, and that "directory listings don't count". It also explains that the "cited reference must be about the subject – addressing the subject directly in detail, and more than a trivial mention". I re-iterated all of this in my reply to him.
I have no problem with your telling him that "it might be too soon to have an article and we should wait until other news outlets follow the Telegraph's lead". But my reply would have enabled him to realise that same thing, but by considering the matter for himself and understanding better the issues with the sources he was providing. I really don't understand why you have a problem with what I wrote. Arthur goes shopping ( talk) 13:50, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie333,
Thanks for taking the time to look at my article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Causses and the Cévennes, Mediterranean agro-pastoral Cultural Landscape. You say that there is a problem because the article duplicates information in the separate Causses and Cévennes articles. I don't feel this is the case. My article is specifically about the World Heritage site named "The Causses and the Cévennes, Mediterranean agro-pastoral Cultural Landscape". For the most part, the article provides information specific to the site's World Heritage listing that probably wouldn't be appropriate in the page for either individual place.
I'm happy to provide more information about the World Heritage process, if need be, specifically with relation to "serial listings", i.e. a World Heritage "site" that is in fact a number of distinct sites grouped together under one single listing on the World Heritage List.

I simply don't know what else to do. I've tried to submit a page twice, and both times it was declined. I did what was asked, and it is still not good enough. The first declination was because of the references I used. They needed to have information "about" the subject and not "from" the subject so I made the changes. This time, I'm being advised that the references that have information "about" the subject isn't credible enough and not reported by "reliable" sources. I don't understand. How can the information not be reliable? It is readily available for viewing on sites including the Huffington Post. Please, help me. This is very frustrating. Please help me.
