Hi Ritchie333
Thank you for reviewing the submitted draft article on the Bootie bicycle. I note your reference to the golden rule and notability.
I'm not an experienced wikipedia editor, so I'm a bit confused by this. I do understand the need for independent verifiability, but does wikipedia just ignore stuff that is not covered by multiple sources elsewhere?
There is an independent source, just the one (about 2 pages in the 'It's in the bag' book, and 2 small b&w photos, pp55-57). While describing the bike and providing much background info, it does not provide the sort of measurable, observable detail (eg model number of the front brake caliper, or the wheelbase) given in the draft article nor does it provide a large, clear colour photo. There is simply nothing else about it apart from bootiebike.com.
The information given in the submitted article builds on the info in the book rather than repeating it. It may not be independently verifiable by another source, but it is measurable and observable and obtained from a real life example and supported by the clear photo (and more available). They are facts, not opinion, and cannot be refuted.
In addition, I think the notability of the topic is strengthened, not weakened, by the fact that there is so little else about it elsewhere. Surely this supports wikipedia's raison d'etre?
I have the bike in my hands. I have written about it factually and objectively. I don't think it reads like an advertisement, and it doesn't offer opinions. The content is all observable and measurable. Why is this so difficult?
regards Brian

I can accept that you require secondary sources regarding why Gold Dust Magazine is noteworthy, but I think your remark that 'Also, if the magazine has to resort to self publishing to produce content, it probably isn't notable' is rather ridiculous. Surely more or less every magazine in existence 'self publishes'? Time Magazine is published by Time Magazine, National Geographic by National Geographic, and so on. Who would publish a magazine if not itself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sirat ( talk • contribs) 08:21, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

I questioned your use of the pejorative term 'self published' with reference to Gold Dust Magazine. You provided me with a definition of what 'self published' means. That was not my point. I am perfecftly aware of what 'self published' means. I am trying to understand your associating the term with Gold Dust Magazine. Are you implying that Gold Dust publishes everything that is sent in? That is total nonsense. Gold Dust now receives approximately 100 prose submissions for each edition, of which about 6 - 8 are published. I don't know the statistics for poetry but I could obtain them. How that can be called 'self publishing' I don't understand. Gold Dust has published continuously for eight years and has a circulation of more than 3,000 in free electronic downloads alone, not counting sales of printed copies. It has also organised numerous live events in London and published (so far) three anthologies of different types. That makes it one of the most successful small press literary magazines in the country – a great deal more prominent and significant than many that currently have Wikipedia entries. That was why I took the trouble to construct an article about it. I am happy to find the 'secondary sources' that you want in order to back up my claim that it is noteworthy, but the 'self published' smear is meaningless and therfore difficult to counter. Is Wikipedia also 'self published'? What is the term supposed to mean in this context?
The comment in question reads as follows: "Comment: The references are all or mostly primary sources, which cannot establish notability. Also, if the magazine has to resort to self publishing to produce content, it probably isn't notable.

Sorry you had to reject the submission, but many thanks for your prompt response and useful comments. I shall now look for the kind of reference sources you require and re-submit in due course. The main challenge is that as the artist died in 1985 there is not much about him on the www - and I guess a bunch of newspapers cuttings are not quite what we need. I'll see what further research may yield. Pace your comments about notability, Rolt was a very good and original painter, currently unfashionable maybe, as many become 30 years after their death - but worth an entry. Or at least that's what I hope to convince you of!

Hi Ritchie,
I have acquiesced to the fact that I am more than a little confused. Not your fault. I have (some leftover dyslexia) but can read (it's just hard to absorb a lot of light hyperlink, symbols etc) But still trying.
Another issue I'm confused with is that the article needs to be neutral/with no hype ..and I understand why.
What I need to know is how to write the article; if the main fact is that the cartoon was launched in a tiny shed (in rural Ms) with just $300; Rick (London) was homeless and living in a tin shed with his dog.
In 2005 he was back in school at Western Governors University (WGU.EDU) and had given up on his cartoons (though he had 5000+ of them) and suddenly he was receiving requests for signed cartoons, publishing rights, licensing etc.
And that's the most interesting part of the story (to me); It has been the #1 ranked offbeat cartoons (Google ranked) since 2005. You can see that it still is simply by typing "offbeat cartoons" into Google and not only does is it always ranked #1; it "owns" the entire page.
So...that's hypish of course, but it is true, and easily checkable. So...how do I write the story; giving those facts; showing the proper resources, etc; and still keep it neutral?
Or is that the best route? Should I just write about Rick and what happened in his life? (I worked with him for years).
Thanks!

Hi Ritchie333! You recently reverted another editor's addition of the categories: Dunhill Records artists, Vertigo Records artists and Fontana Records artists to the Van der Graaf Generator article. Now I have no clue whatsoever as to how many albums a band should have on any particular label before that band gets to be called an "X Records artist", but I thought it might be wise to inform you that VdGG have indeed released some of their albums on each three of these labels. The three labels are mentioned as well in the infobox of the article. The album The Aerosol Grey Machine was released on Fontana Records in Germany (my own CD copy reads "c 1969 Fontana, c 1997 Repertoire Records") and apparently on Vertigo in 1974 in Italy, and the album H to He, Who Am the Only One was apparently released on Dunhill in the US. I think it is a bit strange that it now looks like the labels in the infobox and in the categories contradict each other. I'm probably nitpicking here ;-) and like to thank you again for keeping the VdGG-article on your active watchlist. Groet, Mark in wiki ( talk) 11:13, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Speaking a bit candidly, considering your outspoken opposition against WP:USRD expressed here [1], your choice to review M-102 (Michigan highway) was probably not the best option, as it makes others doubt your neutrality; I foresaw that this review would be problematic for the above reason.

Hello:
I submitted the article about The Kind (band). I am just a fan of this obscure band. You wrote, "This submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability." I understand what you are saying. However, I checked another band on Wikipedia -- De Film. They had no hits but the article was included. So I am wondering what is the difference between these two bands/submissions? Why was De Film accepted but The Kind rejected? The Kind was a Chicago favorite 30 years ago and did release a few singles on their own (independent) label, 360 Records. I have them!

The band was De Film but you have to enter it as DeFilm in Wikipedia. The article is a only few sentences, band lineup, and a discography. So this article about this band somehow made it through. The Kind band is similar in that two albums were released. The Kind also had several singles released and received much radio airplay in the Midwest. Their record label, 360 Records, no longer exists, but you can still find their albums online. I have not researched other obscure band articles on Wikipedia, but De Film comes closest to The Kind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.23.219 ( talk) 04:05, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to review my article about Bauhaus Entertainment. I was sad to find it wasn't approved. I am a long time Wiki user and I finally got the courage to contribute something, but I'm a little overwhelmed with the different set of rules. In regards to the article, I'm afraid there isn't much written about the company. It's kind of a "ghost developer" (not too different to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tose_%28company%29) However, the contributions the company has made to other gaming companies is undeniable since the name of the company can be seen on the staff rolls and credits of their clients' products. I think that the reason that there is so little material written about the company is because it isn't known outside of Japan, which I wanted to revert with the creation of the article.
What kind of source should I need to find to get the material approved? Also, 90% of the material I can find will be in Japanese, does that matter?

Thank you for reviewing the submitted draft article on the Bootie bicycle. I note your reference to the golden rule and notability.
I'm not an experienced wikipedia editor, so I'm a bit confused by this. I do understand the need for independent verifiability, but does wikipedia just ignore stuff that is not covered by multiple sources elsewhere?
There is an independent source, just the one (about 2 pages in the 'It's in the bag' book, and 2 small b&w photos, pp55-57). While describing the bike and providing much background info, it does not provide the sort of measurable, observable detail (eg model number of the front brake caliper, or the wheelbase) given in the draft article nor does it provide a large, clear colour photo. There is simply nothing else about it apart from bootiebike.com.
The information given in the submitted article builds on the info in the book rather than repeating it. It may not be independently verifiable by another source, but it is measurable and observable and obtained from a real life example and supported by the clear photo (and more available). They are facts, not opinion, and cannot be refuted.
In addition, I think the notability of the topic is strengthened, not weakened, by the fact that there is so little else about it elsewhere. Surely this supports wikipedia's raison d'etre?
I have the bike in my hands. I have written about it factually and objectively. I don't think it reads like an advertisement, and it doesn't offer opinions. The content is all observable and measurable. Why is this so difficult?

Gold Dust has published continuously for eight years and has a circulation of more than 3,000 in free electronic downloads alone, not counting sales of printed copies. It has also organised numerous live events in London and published (so far) three anthologies of different types. That makes it one of the most successful small press literary magazines in the country – a great deal more prominent and significant than many that currently have Wikipedia entries. That was why I took the trouble to construct an article about it. I am happy to find the 'secondary sources' that you want in order to back up my claim that it is noteworthy, but the 'self published' smear is meaningless and therfore difficult to counter. Is Wikipedia also 'self published'? What is the term supposed to mean in this context?
The comment in question reads as follows: "Comment: The references are all or mostly primary sources, which cannot establish notability. Also, if the magazine has to resort to self publishing to produce content, it probably isn't notable.

Hey Ritchie333 I was wondering if you could give me advice on how to improve my article to get ite published? All of the company's competitors have articles on wikipedia so I would like to know how to show the significance of the company to you.

Sorry you had to reject the submission, but many thanks for your prompt response and useful comments. I shall now look for the kind of reference sources you require and re-submit in due course. The main challenge is that as the artist died in 1985 there is not much about him on the www - and I guess a bunch of newspapers cuttings are not quite what we need. I'll see what further research may yield. Pace your comments about notability, Rolt was a very good and original painter, currently unfashionable maybe, as many become 30 years after their death - but worth an entry. Or at least that's what I hope to convince you of!

Hi Ritchie,
I have acquiesced to the fact that I am more than a little confused. Not your fault. I have (some leftover dyslexia) but can read (it's just hard to absorb a lot of light hyperlink, symbols etc) But still trying.
Another issue I'm confused with is that the article needs to be neutral/with no hype ..and I understand why.
What I need to know is how to write the article; if the main fact is that the cartoon was launched in a tiny shed (in rural Ms) with just $300; Rick (London) was homeless and living in a tin shed with his dog.
In 2005 he was back in school at Western Governors University (WGU.EDU) and had given up on his cartoons (though he had 5000+ of them) and suddenly he was receiving requests for signed cartoons, publishing rights, licensing etc.
And that's the most interesting part of the story (to me); It has been the #1 ranked offbeat cartoons (Google ranked) since 2005. You can see that it still is simply by typing "offbeat cartoons" into Google and not only does is it always ranked #1; it "owns" the entire page.
So...that's hypish of course, but it is true, and easily checkable. So...how do I write the story; giving those facts; showing the proper resources, etc; and still keep it neutral?
Or is that the best route? Should I just write about Rick and what happened in his life? (I worked with him for years).
Thanks!

Hi Ritchie333! You recently reverted another editor's addition of the categories: Dunhill Records artists, Vertigo Records artists and Fontana Records artists to the Van der Graaf Generator article. Now I have no clue whatsoever as to how many albums a band should have on any particular label before that band gets to be called an "X Records artist", but I thought it might be wise to inform you that VdGG have indeed released some of their albums on each three of these labels. The three labels are mentioned as well in the infobox of the article. The album The Aerosol Grey Machine was released on Fontana Records in Germany (my own CD copy reads "c 1969 Fontana, c 1997 Repertoire Records") and apparently on Vertigo in 1974 in Italy, and the album H to He, Who Am the Only One was apparently released on Dunhill in the US. I think it is a bit strange that it now looks like the labels in the infobox and in the categories contradict each other. I'm probably nitpicking here ;-) and like to thank you again for keeping the VdGG-article on your active watchlist. Groet, Mark in wiki ( talk) 11:13, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Speaking a bit candidly, considering your outspoken opposition against WP:USRD expressed here [1], your choice to review M-102 (Michigan highway) was probably not the best option, as it makes others doubt your neutrality; I foresaw that this review would be problematic for the above reason. For the record, as stated on my userpage, I monitor all USRD GANs nowadays, since we nominate so many articles, and thus have a high number of substandard reviews, so I'm not picking on your review unfairly. -- Rs chen 7754 19:26, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello:
I submitted the article about The Kind (band). I am just a fan of this obscure band. You wrote, "This submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability." I understand what you are saying. However, I checked another band on Wikipedia -- De Film. They had no hits but the article was included. So I am wondering what is the difference between these two bands/submissions? Why was De Film accepted but The Kind rejected? The Kind was a Chicago favorite 30 years ago and did release a few singles on their own (independent) label, 360 Records. I have them!

The band was De Film but you have to enter it as DeFilm in Wikipedia. The article is a only few sentences, band lineup, and a discography. So this article about this band somehow made it through. The Kind band is similar in that two albums were released. The Kind also had several singles released and received much radio airplay in the Midwest. Their record label, 360 Records, no longer exists, but you can still find their albums online. I have not researched other obscure band articles on Wikipedia, but De Film comes closest to The Kind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.23.219 ( talk) 04:05, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to review my article about Bauhaus Entertainment. I was sad to find it wasn't approved. I am a long time Wiki user and I finally got the courage to contribute something, but I'm a little overwhelmed with the different set of rules. In regards to the article, I'm afraid there isn't much written about the company. It's kind of a "ghost developer" (not too different to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tose_%28company%29) However, the contributions the company has made to other gaming companies is undeniable since the name of the company can be seen on the staff rolls and credits of their clients' products. I think that the reason that there is so little material written about the company is because it isn't known outside of Japan, which I wanted to revert with the creation of the article.
What kind of source should I need to find to get the material approved? Also, 90% of the material I can find will be in Japanese, does that matter?

My article for "Barrack Point" was declined as you said it already existed as "Barrack Heights". This is incorrect as they are both two different suburbs. Barrack Point is even mentioned in the Barrack Heights article.
I shall resubmit, and hopefully it is accepted :)
