What more can you need? IMBD, her official biography and AVN... the industry standard? I think you just don't want her page up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vickyvette ( talk • contribs) 18:15, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Ritchie! Regarding that last edit you reverted on Van der Graaf Generator, I think the anonymous editor did have a point. I believe the essence of that edit might have been that the line-ups section of the article now seems to imply that Banton played bass guitar and bass pedals from his joining of VdGG in 1968 on, which clearly is not the case. It may be a good idea to tweak the line-ups section so that it more accurately describes who played what instruments when. Or maybe the instruments should be left out of that section altogether, and make it simply a collection of member names. Groet! Mark in wiki ( talk) 13:53, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:

With regard to your edit to the lead of Phil Lynott, a couple of things: I don't want to be a pain about it, but you've pretty much done what the blocked IP was being so disruptive about – removing the 'best-known' clause – so I'm not sure how much of a compromise it is. Also, Thin Lizzy was Lynott's only commercially successful group (rather than "most") since his other groups (Grand Slam, Three Musketeers) never even scored a record deal.

Hello there, I just tried to submit an article about the School I work @ Richland Academy and it was declined. You wrote this:
Educational establishments below the approximate equivalent of US High School and UK Grammar School are generally not kept as separate articles on Wikipedia but merged into a parent. You may have more success expanding Richmond Hill, Ontario#Education instead. When I went to that page, it lists other schools in our area and they have separate articles talking about them, we just want the same thing and even to show up on that page. What can I take out to make this work?

I saw your exchange with User:Arctic Kangaroo over on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/July 2013 Backlog Elimination Drive.
AK recently requested the deletion of an image he or she uploaded to the Commons
In that discussion, after several days, AK has claimed to be under 16 years old, and to be insufficiently familiar with WMF standards to understand a creative commons license.
I am frankly skeptical that he or she is a minor. But if he or she is a minor, who doesn't understand copyright, or the meaning of a creative commons license, I find it very disturbing that they were trusted to decline transferring hundreds of candidate articles to article space.
I know that Commons and the Wikipedia are separate projects. Still, as someone who seems to have been following AK's contributions for some time, I'd be interested in your opinion as to whether it is possible AK was really under 16 years old; I'd be interested in your opinion as to whether AK's ignorance of the meaning of copyright and the implication of creative commons licenses is genuine.
Can you let me know how the reviewers were selected?
No, I don't think being 15 or younger should bar an individual from being a trusted contributor to WMF projects -- provided they can consistently act responsibly, comply with our civility rules and conventions, and consistently display competence. Unfortunately we have contributors who are demonstrably adults, and demonstrably can't do this -- and they shouldn't be trusted either.

Hello, Your reason for rejecting the article was that it would be suitable to wait until after the song has been released to publish the article. However, most other articles for artists' lead singles in the past have been released weeks before the songs have. For example, two other Lady Gaga lead singles, Born This Way and Bad Romance, each had their wikipedia articles published weeks before they were actually released. This is the case with many other lead singles. E.g. California Gurls by Katy Perry. I think considering how topical this single and Gaga's Artpop work is at the moment, and that enough information has been provided, gives adequate justification for this article's publication.

I left a note on the FAC talk page for the article. I should have copy-edited more aggressively, and for that I apologize. Your best bet would be to find a copy editor who has great familiarity with the Britishisms you use in the article. I'm not sure how to help you with that, other than to suggest that you poke around WP:GOCE, look at some profiles, and message a few people. The quality of work varies, but it's easily verifiable.

on a user page where the work of Piero Scaruffi was being discussed. I have spent a little time looking at his work and want to share a few thoughts ( original research, if you will) with you. One, his musical analysis seems to be all self-published and/or blog type internet postings. With very little in-depth or insightful material. then there are his writings on wikipedia. He claims that someone he knows was banned from wikipedia just for posting a link to his writings. I'd like to see that discussion, but the purported reason for the ban is that (these are my words, not his, but I think I have the sense of it right) wikipedia has been co-opted by the evil empire (multi-national corporations and various "suspect" governments) who pay folks to whitewash the entries about them and that the best thing to do is to inject intentional errors into wikipedia to discredit it. Believe what you will but I do feel that this is part of the backdrop of the discussion that we've stumbled into. On a semi-related topic, the picture of the cover of The Who album, My Generation (album) was an early posting of mine, pre digital camera, done by scanning it is several sections and then photoshoping it together.

With regard to your edit to the lead of Phil Lynott, a couple of things: I don't want to be a pain about it, but you've pretty much done what the blocked IP was being so disruptive about – removing the 'best-known' clause – so I'm not sure how much of a compromise it is. Also, Thin Lizzy was Lynott's only commercially successful group (rather than "most") since his other groups (Grand Slam, Three Musketeers) never even scored a record deal. I'm certainly not going to go in and revert or change it round myself, but maybe we could discuss it a bit. Bretonbanquet ( talk) 20:08, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello there, I just tried to submit an article about the School I work @ Richland Academy and it was declined. You wrote this:
Educational establishments below the approximate equivalent of US High School and UK Grammar School are generally not kept as separate articles on Wikipedia but merged into a parent. You may have more success expanding Richmond Hill, Ontario#Education instead. When I went to that page, it lists other schools in our area and they have separate articles talking about them, we just want the same thing and even to show up on that page. What can I take out to make this work?
Thank you.

I saw your exchange with User:Arctic Kangaroo over on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/July 2013 Backlog Elimination Drive.
AK recently requested the deletion of an image he or she uploaded to the Commons
In that discussion, after several days, AK has claimed to be under 16 years old, and to be insufficiently familiar with WMF standards to understand a creative commons license.
I am frankly skeptical that he or she is a minor. But if he or she is a minor, who doesn't understand copyright, or the meaning of a creative commons license, I find it very disturbing that they were trusted to decline transferring hundreds of candidate articles to article space.
I know that Commons and the Wikipedia are separate projects. Still, as someone who seems to have been following AK's contributions for some time, I'd be interested in your opinion as to whether it is possible AK was really under 16 years old; I'd be interested in your opinion as to whether AK's ignorance of the meaning of copyright and the implication of creative commons licenses is genuine.
Can you let me know how the reviewers were selected?
No, I don't think being 15 or younger should bar an individual from being a trusted contributor to WMF projects -- provided they can consistently act responsibly, comply with our civility rules and conventions, and consistently display competence. Unfortunately we have contributors who are demonstrably adults, and demonstrably can't do this -- and they shouldn't be trusted either.

Hello, Your reason for rejecting the article was that it would be suitable to wait until after the song has been released to publish the article. However, most other articles for artists' lead singles in the past have been released weeks before the songs have. For example, two other Lady Gaga lead singles, Born This Way and Bad Romance, each had their wikipedia articles published weeks before they were actually released. This is the case with many other lead singles. E.g. California Gurls by Katy Perry. I think considering how topical this single and Gaga's Artpop work is at the moment, and that enough information has been provided, gives adequate justification for this article's publication.

I left a note on the FAC talk page for the article. I should have copy-edited more aggressively, and for that I apologize. Your best bet would be to find a copy editor who has great familiarity with the Britishisms you use in the article. I'm not sure how to help you with that, other than to suggest that you poke around WP:GOCE, look at some profiles, and message a few people. The quality of work varies, but it's easily verifiable.

on a user page where the work of Piero Scaruffi was being discussed. I have spent a little time looking at his work and want to share a few thoughts ( original research, if you will) with you. One, his musical analysis seems to be all self-published and/or blog type internet postings. With very little in-depth or insightful material. then there are his writings on wikipedia. He claims that someone he knows was banned from wikipedia just for posting a link to his writings. I'd like to see that discussion, but the purported reason for the ban is that (these are my words, not his, but I think I have the sense of it right) wikipedia has been co-opted by the evil empire (multi-national corporations and various "suspect" governments) who pay folks to whitewash the entries about them and that the best thing to do is to inject intentional errors into wikipedia to discredit it. Believe what you will but I do feel that this is part of the backdrop of the discussion that we've stumbled into. On a semi-related topic, the picture of the cover of The Who album, My Generation (album) was an early posting of mine, pre digital camera, done by scanning it is several sections and then photoshoping it together.
