Hi Sam, in this case we need the help of a steward, because he surpass to a crosswiki hoax, I send a message to a Wikidata sysop, but maybe that is insufficent. I collected the name of suckpuppets: Tperdiee, Banbyn, Marfhy012, Luisarangure, Mareioro20. Also the IP 150.186.126.20 must be checked because this is the IP of the university (Universidad Centro Occidental Lisandro Alvarado), also 186.91.205.156, 186.95.172.180, 186.91.202.66, 186.91.239.88, 186.91.191.226, 186.91.160.51, 190.76.244.50 (all are personal IPs). -- Taichi ( talk) 15:12, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
HI SAM SAILER,
Please try to be fair and don't post the wrong information in Samira Samii Wikipedia-Page. You can not use an old article as an evidence for editing a new page. You can not block everyone in this page and just editing by yourself. You can not take a picture of Samira Samii with Fadi Merze for which you don't have the rights on this image. You damage Samira Samii´s reputation and her noble Family as well with old and untrue Article about Mehdi Mahdavikia. I tried to help you several times to update your information unfortunately you don't care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasmin-Shams ( talk • contribs) 16:25, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

It is already contested on the talk page of the Article.. And why are you giving this tag of deletion on this Article? Please follow up the talk page. Thank You.
I don't know if you're involved at Wikipedia:WikiProject India or not, but I posted a request there about the matter that led me to protect it if you need further information — the user in question seems to have been rewriting a lot of our existing articles about small towns near Hindaun, to assert that they're neighbourhoods in Hindaun (in one case, he even moved a title so that it was being disambiguated as comma Hindaun instead of comma Kaurali District.) I can't find any properly sourced evidence that supports describing them as part of Hindaun, but I can't quite sort out whether the whole thing is being done out of a good faith but misguided perception that this is genuinely the way we should be presenting the area, or the kind of "fantasy metropolis building" one might engage in if they wanted to pretend their hometown was significantly larger or more important than it really is.
I agree with you that the topics you located sound like rather implausible redirects, but I don't have the background knowledge of Hindaun necessary to judge the whole thing by anything other than what it looks like, and what it looks like is disruptive and unhelpful hoax editing. The best thing I can suggest would be to post a followup comment to mine at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject India, pointing those two new ones out for attention.

You removed the BLPPROD template from Paul Mclinden based on the addition of a source. The added source was the musician's own website which does not constitute a reliable source as required by the WP:BLP policy. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 13:13, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
Concerning your message on the user's editing on the article Hindon City-Rural, his edits have blanked the article and was against WP:BLANKING, regardless of intention.

Hello, I copy the text that I left on the discussion page redirection DARPA --> Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

I notice you removed the {{notability}} tag from the article Further Away. You have added sources, which is good, but it appears these references are not specifically about the subject in question – I believe in order to qualify a subject as Wikipedia-notable it must contain numerous sources specifically about that subject, not just sources which may mention the subject. If this differs from your understanding please let me know, but, if not, I think the {{notability}} tag should be replaced.
Please notify me with the Talkback template once you have replied. Lachlan Foley ( talk) 06:48, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
"in order to qualify a subject as Wikipedia-notable it must contain numerous sources specifically about that subject"seems to me to be in conflict with WP:GNG that says
Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.(my emphasis). Which guideline is being quoted? -- Sam Sing! 10:37, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
"If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created."But this is not the case with "Further Away." And neither that line, nor the
"they have been the subject of ..."supports your initial belief that "it must contain numerous sources specifically about that subject, not just sources which may mention the subject". I personally don't care deeply for this article, I'm merely demonstrating that finding and adding sources was possible, but it does take a greater effort and sends a very different signal than tagging with {{ Refimprove}} or {{ Unreferenced}}. I suggest you put the article up for discussion on AfD. -- Sam Sing! 11:08, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sam, please refrain for further editing the page Planet Veritas/ Veritas Language solutions. They are NOT the same company according UK law and to associate the two is incorrect.

we are currently in the process of starting legal action against them. Judging from [1] and other sub-pages of said site, Planet Veritas is quite clearly Veritas Language Solutions re-branded. As you write on your web page "We set out to nurture our current customers, re-brand, re-structure give ourselves a spring clean". I can see that JamesBWatson already posted a welcome message to you regarding Conflict of interest. We can not use posts from Internet forums as sources for articles as the one you link to or the ones posted on the talk page. -- Sam Sing! 12:48, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey Sam. Interesting conundrum going on here with this article you recently moved; I'm in an OTRS discussion ( VRTS ticket # 2015012610021121) with the editor who has recently been blocked because they are seeking legal action against another editor inre: recent edits there and the talk page. That said, they claim the company is independent of the Language Solutions company of the same name, and as such, it is problematic to equate the two. If that's the case, the article should probably be moved back to its old location and Planet Veritas should be deleted at this time. I've done a look around for sources for the new company, and I don't see any reliable sources that connect the two companies at this time (unless I'm missing something), nor any independent sources that discuss "Planet Veritas" with any kind of depth for an article.

Hi Sam. Thanks for reminding me of these - I was going to address them before the week ended. It seems a bit WP:POINTY from LF to take them all to AfD, but with enough rope, he'll end up with an AfD ban too. WP:BEFORE is key to follow, and it looks as if these are all cases of "I can't tag them, I'll just get them deleted". Sources for most, if not all of these articles, should be easy enough to find.

I blanked those three articles because their negative content was not supported by the sources. Most of the sources are in English, and you can see there is a difference between being arrested for a crime and having committed it, even in India.

Dear Sam, I'm not expert in wiki but I faced a problem creating the article on "Education studies", which is a research field, because it was redirected to "Engineering Education" as teaching activity. I didn't find another solution to create the page on "Education studies" than removing the "redirect". But into the article on "Education studies", I introduced that in some case "Education studies" means ""Engineering education" and here I introduced a link toward the corresponding page. I hope I did it correctly. Best, — Preceding unsigned comment added by PinsonV ( talk • contribs) 15:50, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Engineering studies is an interdisciplinary branch of social sciences devoted to the study of engineers and their activities. Studying engineers refers among other to the history and the sociology of their profession, its institutionalization and organization, the social composition and structure of the population of engineers, their training, their trajectory, etc. A subfield is for instance
Women in engineering. Studying engineering refers to the study of their activities and practices, their role into the society, their engagement.
Engineering studies investigate how social, political, economical, cultural and historical dynamics affect technological research, design, engineering and innovation, and how these, in turn, affect society, economics, politics and culture.

You made a mistake unediting V. K. Singh page.
You made a mistake due to:
EITHER
Your (according to my presumption) ignorance of Hindi language; in which meaning of the word drastically changes from something ordinary "Chhodo" meaning "leave, quit" to something highly vulgar "Chodo" meaning "ahem, well....ahem, let's just say something very vulgar".
OR
You have nothing better to do, and are micro-moderating.
I'm assuming it's the former, and also assuming you will revert back my edit.

Short answer: Yes. Production companies are fine, the distribution ones are a bit of a grey area and are often non-defining. For example, a non-English language film will have different distribution companies in the US/UK. Might be worth raising it at WT:FILM as it's one area I don't do much editing in.

Hey Sam, I don't know how this works but I only created an account because I was looking for information last night, and all the info had just been deleted and replaced with the word penis. because I did not know how to report the page, I created an account, deleted the profanity, and typed a message someone deleted all the info and replaced with profanity, and I asked for someone to please update the page in my message. This morning when I decided to check for the info I had a message on my account stating that I had vandalized the page, when I did just the opposite. I don't appreciate me being accused of vandalism, especially because it annoys me. Sorry if this message messes up your page (I am new to this) but you did mess up mine by accusing me of vandalism.

You have disabled editing on this page for some reason and now no one can correct the incorrect information on the page!!! What's the point of Wikipedia anyway if the information on your site is not correct????
Britt did NOT withdraw from the show. She talked about doing so but was sent home by Chris before she was able to quit/withdraw. If Wikipedia is going to exist, then you need to either put correct information on your pages or allow the general public to do so for you!!!!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.90.210.162 ( talk) 16:01, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
I disagree regarding editor Sam Sailor's characterization of the page's tone as not formal enough, and that it uses peacock terms. I would like specific references to moments in the submitted article where informal tone and peacock terms occur. I would also like to see an example of an article about a comparable subject which Sam Sailor believes avoids informality/peacock terms. For example, the Two Dollar Radio page, or the Poets & Writers page.

Hi Sam, The Sequart page I was trying to create was originally posted on the ComicsRascal account, but was deleted a long time ago when it wasn't approved. I Resubmitted the old page (from the ComicsRascal account with the additions that were suggested previously). This has been frustrating though because (before re-submitting the old page from ComicsRascal) I tried again using this new account (warrenjstuart) and was denied because the article was a duplicate. Should I try to resubmit the old page again (posted by ComicsRascal)?

Hi Sam. I'm trying to understand the process that gave rise to Metacognitive Therapy. I'm a very experienced editor, but I've never used AFC and don't understand how it works. All I can see is that the article was created by a new editor, user:Wiki Djinn42, who has a total of three edits, the second of which was to create that entire article in a single edit in his sandbox. I have some concerns about the article -- it has a strongly promotional appearance to me. I'm wondering if the AFC process involved some interactions that I can't see, that satisfied you about the article's legitimacy. I'm not accusing anybody of anything, I just don't know how to proceed at this point. Best regards, Looie496 ( talk) 22:32, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

This is my first submission of a Wikipedia entry. I was inspired to create it after stumbling across the entries for products similar to our, but made by competitors. In this case, I referred to
Makroclear, an existing Wikipedia entry, as a template. I admit, I copied and pasted the source content from Makrolon entry and then edited it to contain info about Palsun, which is our brand of polycarbonate. I did not want to plagiarize the Makrolon entry, but I also wanted to follow its form to ensure that it would fit within the Wikipedia standards. The text I added was intended to clarify some things.
I have now edited the entry so that it very closely resembles the Makrolon entry. If it is declined again, I would really like to know, more specifically, why, and how Makrolon would continue to be posted.
Thanks for taking the time to review the first time around. I have a lot of respect for Wikipedia and hope to become a valuable contributor over time. This effort was my first attempt to emulate something that was there. A college English instructor had us do something similar for writing projects, emulate passages from books that we read in class. I learned a lot about structure and form that way. My goal was to do that here too.
Thanks,
Stan Schultz

I confess that it took me a while to look up and figure out how to reply on your talk page—and I'm not yet sure I'm doing it correctly. In an age where typical user interfaces are elegant and easy to use, Wikipedia sure seems to make it somewhat difficult to do. I imagine that normally would help keep a dolt like me from meesing things up. Anyway, thanks for your reply.
So now I have a couple of questions... let me know if I should instead take them to the "Teahouse" (I think I saw that as the place where questions can be answered. I can accept that the "Other stuff exists" argument is no valid, and I appreciate that you redirected the Makroclear article to Polycarbonate, however, the Makroclear article is what inspired my actions to begin with. Near the beginning of that article, "Lexan" and "Makrolon" are mention as "brands" of polycarbonate. I wondered what would prevent me from adding our brand to that entry. I discovered that the entry was locked due to "Disruptive Editing," which i can understand. --as an asside, Lexan and Makrolon are trademarked brands for PC resins and are used with extensions for semi-finished products (i.e. Lexan Corrugated). I'm willing to accept that because Lexan and Makrolon are PC resin brands that they deserve to be listed there, whereas Palsun is only a brand for family of a semi-finished products.
I see that MakroKlear has now been added to the semi-finished products list. It was my original goal to have our brands added to that list. 1) Is that possible? 2) If so, who do I submit the the request to? 3) If not, why? (given that others are listed) 4) SUNLITE is a trademark of Palram Industries, Ltd. and is used for our multi-wall polycarbonate products. The wiki entry Sunlite as being from VMI Plastics in India. We have marketing offices in India, so there is a chance that VMI is selling our product, but they certainly don't attribute Palram on their website (I'm having our people look into that). What is the criteria for determining which products get listed in the semi-finished product list. based on what I see, ours should be listed there (Palsun, Sunlite, and Suntuf).
Again, I appreciate you taking the time to review. Wikipedia is a monstrous colection of information, most of which requires a lot of reading, searching, looking at related links, etc. It's seems pretty challenging to find answers on your own. Schultzenheimer ( talk) 20:37, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

You recently rejected my submission on the equine artist Charles Church because of the lack of reliable references.
This is an artist who is not in the public eye so extended references are difficult, although he has shown work personally to the Queen and his clients include owners like the Aga Khan.
I have included six references in addition to his own website - sees below.

WT:MED#Comment on Draft:Hushe A-CES

The following is a closed discussion. Please do not modify it. |
Hello Wikipedia Editor, I should like to highlight a glaring disparity in the way, for example, a film due for release in the coming year, with no independent reviews as yet, is able to make it onto the pages of Wikipedia and yet another product that is not a film but has beneficial applications to mental health is not. I refer of course to your disapproval of the page for the Hushe A-CES, a device which I used last year as part of a research study and found to be exceptionally good at alleviating my insomnia. As with anything that is relatively new, is it not a surprise there exists little third party subject matter on it? And yet a future release of a film is allowable by mere mention by the producer? One feels a tiny bit like a character in George Orwell's 1984, with knowledge being controlled by the whim of those in control. The article I submitted about the Hushe A-CES cranial electrotherapy stimulator manufactured by Hushe Limited in the United Kingdom should not be suppressed just because it is little known of. As with a future film, or a past event, these are all real things. The mere fact that I have not identified a third party as a source of information should not be ground for exclusion and smacks of pedantry. If you look at the research study cited in my article you will find references to comments I and other third parties gave to the study administrator. Am I to infer from your stance that you do not regard this as third party material? If so, do you therefore agree that this implies falsification on the part of the author of that study? I am sure you appreciate the gravity of such an implied statement. I would therefore encourage you to suggest a review of Wikipedia's notability policy and look forward to my article's equal treatment to the countless others which are permitted merely for adhering to cultural precepts of acceptability.

Hi Sam,
The article was originally declined prior to adding Marcus's Film and TV credits. Because of his extensive list of acting credits I believe he is a notable person on his own. The group he is a member of is definitely notable, but the fact that he is a member of SAG with multiple film credits seems that he would meet the criteria. Additionally there was a Wikipedia page for Marcus for several years and it was suddenly deleted right around the same time as another singer from the UK emerged. I believe because of the two individuals with the same name in the same industry should each have their own page. The Texas Tenors page can link to Marcus. Currently if you search Wikipedia for him there is only a page to another singer by the same name.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Well your comment threw me off because you said: "Noting in the sources here used as references indicate that subject is notable for a stand-alone article" But then you declined it after saying he was notable. Were you mistaken in your comment? — Preceding

21:42, 21 February 2015 (UTC)Sam, I sent you a mail with reasons I would like this biography about me to be deleted. I consider some of the content to be disproportionate, only partially accurate, biased and defamatory. While I do not see Wikipedia in any way as a promotional vehicle, I expect it to present information in its proper context.
The inclusion concerning the Moscaline blog post is incompletely reported. The post does not mention that the Moscaline blog followed up with a post noting there had been a miscommunication between us, that he wrote his report while he was angry and that he writes the response of the cycling community got out of hand - about which he expressed contrition in our telephone conversation. Neither is there reference is made to the fact that there were extenuating circumstances and apologies on both side.
The post states that some questioned me, but it does not state that others with better knowledge of the situation wrote in support. The post does not state that some who were critical publicly retracted their remarks.
Furthermore, no caveats are given that sometimes blog posts are unreliable and can create a mob mentality in which an individual is not given a fair hearing and as such should not always be taken seriously. Certainly not seriously enough to be included in Wikipedia.
My question: Did an expert in the field submit this? Or was it somebody who just picked up something from a Google search? Can anybody with a professional agenda or a personal grudge submit to Wikipedia? What are the safeguards against this? I drew this Moscaline post to the attention of an experienced journalist and media manager that I know in Slovenia, Andrej Dekleva, who wrote in response: "oh my god, silly stuff: Skilbeck's credibility as a communications expert has recently been called into question by the cycling community due to his dubious handling of media credentials at the 2013 NAHBS.[1]"
So, at least one expert in the field now thinks Wikipedia includes "silly stuff." Well, two actually, if I count myself. I am sure I could find more if I drew the attention of others to it. Pskilbeck ( talk) 06:03, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
I have not felt comfortable (and still don't) contributing to a discussion about my own biography, which is why I have been silent about all this until now. It's up to others to write if they feel so inclined, and I already have my CV on LinkedIn anyway. I just felt the Moscaline piece was incongruous. Pskilbeck ( talk) 06:55, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

I am new to expanding stub articles - just fixed typos before this. I started with the original, short article, pasting the code into my sandbox. Instead of rewriting the page itself, I used my own sandbox and asked for a review, before pasting it into the article itself. What should I do?
I wanted to add more facts and citations to Brad Myers' stub of an article. Here are the two articles to compare:
1. Stub: /info/en/?search=Brad_Myers which says, "...is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it."
2. My Sandbox: /info/en/?search=User:Athomeeditor/sandbox
Number 1 is very short, so you can easily compare it to my expanded article (keeping the old words and image), number 2. All the things I added are heavily cited, and are mostly about degrees, employment, papers he wrote, and awards he won. Your comments seemed to say that it looked like it could be added, except that it was a duplicate entry. Right?
What should I do next, to expand the stub -- just paste in my revision? I preferred to ask for someone to review it first, which is why there are two -- with the unpublished one staying in my Sandbox until you release it, hopefully! Thanks for your work!

Hi Sam,
I've added additional references for Luminus. The reason I believe Luminus is notable is due to the fact that it's currently the most widely used Clojure web framework and frameworks of similar scope for Ruby and Python have already been accepted by Wikipedia.
I've added a reference for a book published about the framework, an active Google Group with discussions regarding Luminus, as well as additional sites discussing it. It appears that frameworks with similar amount of reference such as Flask have been accepted. Let me know if you're looking for any more specific references or if the updated ones are sufficient.

I don't know why this was denied for notability. Is Valve not a reliable source now? Last time I noticed, Steam Greenlight showed obvious notability for games, plus the fact that the game will eventually become an Early Access game. And if that's not enough, do I need to refer to the forum to show the size of the PULSAR community?

I used "self-published sources" to justify the summary of changes and gameplay of the game. It's literally straight from the developers when I refer to their videos. And I feel like I'm repeating myself here, when a game on Steam is greenlit, it means that Valve has worked with the developers to publish this game on Steam. I'm really speechless when you say that is somehow not notable. I will refer you to this. On top of this, like that page you've linked me has said, I have provided commentary beyond basic game data. From what I understand you want more outside (reliable) sources vs. primary sources, so if that's what you want, then tell me and it's done. -- Bobtinin ( talk) 01:15, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sam Sailor Yes, I am new to Wikipedia- Recent post on songwriter Yvonne Lowrene Wright has been declined. This writer's is given credit on every song that she as written with Stevie Wonder. Wright's writing is significant information to music historian's due to her association writing with Stevie Wonder. Most of the songs she has written have their own Wikipedia page. Please advise how I can correct this situation. Thank you
Hi Sam Sailor, I recently uploaded an image for a wiki draft. I received the image file directly from the author (It is for a film page) with their permission. The image file is the poster art for the film. After doing so successfully, I received this email message: "The media file has been nominated for deletion." I checked out why (need to get written permission from the author via the wiki permission template). I have filled in the permission template as required. One thing. It states that the permission template must be emailed from an email address that is recognized by wikipedia. My question is: Can I email it from my account as the author is not registered with wikipedia? Thanking you in advance. nairbotanim Feb 23, 2015 Nairbotanim ( talk) 21:23, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your encouragement. My father-in-law, former Petty Officer First Class Roland N. ("Nick") Stine, Jr. served on the USS PC-552 during the whole time it was in the war. He is 92, now. This is why this entry is important to me and I wish to get it right. One question I have is whether I may use his information, even though I don't have a secondary support source.
Having said that, I am finding the Wikipedia interface a mystery. Any help you may provide would be appreciated. For example, I wish to edit the citations, yet I have no means to open them. When I click on the blue citation numbers, nothing happens. Also, what is this about the <ref>? This is obviously not Microsoft Word.

So that is what happened! I noticed the changes and I like them; I just didn't know how they happened. Thank you for doing that. I will proceed with the WikiProject Ship people and I am committed to make this article compliant and to maintain and add to it in the future. In the meantime, can you tell me how to edit a reference?
May I continue to work with you to get this article accepted?
Incidentally, I wrote this from original sources without discussing this with my father-in-law. To my positive surprise, my wife told me she had heard these stories from her father. This makes us feel very confident about what he says. Everything he has said has turned out to be proven true.

What to you need to know exactly.... You can verify some of my story with some of the people that I worked with I guess. Such as Martin Cilia... By all means contact him directly.... He played all of the guitar on my Honky-Tonk Through the Night EP and also gave my one of his own songs called 'Skating On Thin Ice' which he wrote with Dave Warner with whom he mentions having an association with on his wikipedia page. We were also trying to work on another song together called Tamworth Calling but we never finished the idea. Chris Bailey played bass guitar on the same EP but unfortunately, he has now passed away and can't verify my story.
I also won a radio contest to sing with Jon Stevens (Now lead singer of the Dead Daisies) in Perth in 2006-2007 but whether Jon Stevens is able to remember that night is something that I don't know.
Most of this stuff happened before the internet was even popular so finding out or citing information relevant to these events is near on impossible.

Hi Sam,
Thanks for reviewing my article submission on Eric Uglum. My goal is to be a good Wikipedia contributor and I feel that I'm learning more with each rewrite. I know you're aware that it's a learning process and can be overwhelming at times and is indeed a process. Having said that, I was wondering if you can perhaps direct me in my rewrite. I'm not sure I understand what steps to take. As far as I can tell I have removed the peacock terms. The other potential problem I see is that each band is in it's own split section. Is that a problem too? What am I missing?
Someone suggested that naming all of the bands he was in was a problem, but to me it's all a culmination of a career that makes him a mainstay in his genre.
If I understand what to do I'll fix it asap. I just would prefer not to labor under a misunderstanding and have to rewrite yet again.
Thanks for your time.

Was going to ask if you could assist me with the article that I created actually... not entirely sure if it's up to scratch, and I'm not entirely convinced that the name is really acceptable or not. If you're up on your football rivalries then I will explain what I mean, if not then no problem. Cheers.
You may have a point actually... the term 'A62 derby' refers to a fixture between two of Huddersfield Town, Leeds United and Oldham Athletic. I thought of using the term 'Roses Derby' or 'War of the Roses' but that is also used for various clubs close to the border Lancashire / Yorkshire boundaries, not just Huddersfield and Oldham - Manchester United and Leeds United being a prime example. Maybe just putting 'Huddersfield-Oldham rivalry' in the same way that a number of others have been on the 'Local derbies in the United Kingdom' category would suffice (for instance, 'Leeds-Manchester United', 'Bolton-Wigan')? Having checked thoroughly, the 'Roses Derby' term clearly gets a lot more hits though than calling it the A62 Derby, although the latter is in fairly common usage... for instance it has been referred to as such by Jeff Stelling on the Saturday football show. It is though most definitely a notable local rivalry in English football, and has been particularly since the 1980s.
Hi Sam, I'd like to query with you your closure of the AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nawabpur Road.

Hello! I'm hoping to get some more specific feedback on how to make the Digital Folklore Project page acceptable for creation. It's a project run from a land grant, Research 1 institution (Utah State University), and it involves scholars from all over the US (including the Library of Congress). While we've only had one year of announcing the #DigitalTrendOfTheYear so far, we're already at work on the second year, and we'd like to get an official Wikipedia page up and running so that it can grow with the project. Our initial round of press releases got us some nice national media attention, especially with our runner up of #NotYourMascot (which has its own Wikipedia page). I've added in more citations, but I'm new to the WP thing and I'm not sure what additional information will help. Thanks!

Hello, the artist described in the draft has an upcoming exhibit in an art society in Northern Germany (reference added) I would think this alone as well as the fact that he has been awarded an art prize from the city of Hamburg establish notability. Also, an article about him has been published on the German Wikipedia, and the English one leans heavily on the German one. Thanks for reconsidering the review, and best regards, Jens

Hello,
I'm writing you concerning one article in Wikipedia that has been declined couple of times. I'm a fan of the opera, leaving in Bulgaria and I've visited many events that Operosa has organized in the Balkan area. I asked them why don't the create a page in Wikipedia and they send me the link with the page they are trying to create but has been declined several times. I offered to help. I have lot's of spear time but I'm not very familiar how exactly to make a Wikipedia page. So I've decided to ask you for help if you have time to explain and give your suggestions.
yesterday while I was editing I received that : Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Operosa", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent an organization rather than an individual. Please read WP:CORPNAME. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. --David Biddulph (talk) 04:47, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

"they send me the link with the page they are trying to create". In regards to the drafts I think the way forward is to keep working on the oldest, that is Draft:Operosa. Draft:Operosa Opera Festival is almost identical, anyway. What the final article title should be can be decided later. And you should blank your userpage per WP:FAKEARTICLE. I hope this helps. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 01:37, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Declination of submission of article on the 'Historical Archives of the EU'
Thank you for taking care of the page and examining the draft.
Of course, we really do not understand your decision since we added so much sources as we presetnly have at dispostion. We would Of course complete them and add them any time we find something additional.
We really think that our sources are independent and reliable as they come from national and important newspapers. The inauguration of our institution by the President of the Italian Repubblic is thus documentated in a reliable way. The juridical basis of our instituion is a decision by "The European Commission" that we linked to the page.
Do you think that we should take the information on the Historical Archives of the EU out of the page of the European University Institute?

"Wikipedia articles cover notable topics—those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not outside the scope of Wikipedia."And while Wikipedia:Notability-criteria covers subjects, it is not applied to article content (see WP:NNC), hence no need to remove the mention of Historical Archives from European University Institute. But Historical Archives of the European Union are notable, senza dubio. Your focus should be to find reliable, secondary sources to add as references to the article. And it is not as difficult as it may sound. From a Google search using "Historical Archives" "European University Institute" I promptly found

Dear Sam,
Thanks a lot for acceptance of my submission of the article Tigran Maytesian that I have created as an unregistered User 95.67.102.245 (see: /info/en/?search=User_talk:95.67.102.245). By that time I had no registered account and my ip address was used to identify me as a contributor to Wikipedia. Now I have registered my account in Wikipedia under the Tanechka 72 User name to make it possible to further contribute to Wikipedia and improve the article.
To improve the article I need to upload an image of the person (Tigran Maytesian) which is a copyrighted image for which I have permission (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license and the GNU Free Documentation License, OTRS ticket number 2015020610023567). To upload this file (copyrighted image) to Wikipedia my account needs to become confirmed automatically. In the Wikipedia: File Upload Wizard ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:File_Upload_Wizard&?withJS=MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js) it goes that "your account will become confirmed automatically once you have made 10 edits and four days have passed since you created it".
I have already made a lot (over 10) of edits regarding my contributed article as a User:95.67.102.245 and by now I need to add an image, no other 10 edits are envisaged so far. My request for manual confirmation of my account Tanechka72 was declined by the Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/Confirmed administrator ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/Confirmed#Confirmation_of_registration_for_account_Tanechka72). He/she also neglected my inquiry for his/her advice how to merge my contributions and activities as a User 95.67.102.245 with my new account Tanechka 72. So now I have no opportunity to proceed with uploading the image to improve the article.
Please, let me know how to merge my contributions and activities as a User 95.67.102.245 with my new account Tanechka 72, to have my track record in my contribution list with the history of edits, so I could proceed with uploading images to the article using the Upload Wizard.

Hi Sam,
thank you for your comment on Silvio Wolf's draft. May I ask you some clarifications? The fact is that I used many essays by different authors published mainly in On the Threshold. Thus, I have not used only one source written by the subject but I quoted it to simplify - I see that this may be misunderstood. Thus, would it be enough to quote each author - published in the same catalogue - instead of just the catalogue (On the Threshold)?
Thanks a lot!
GVndl ( talk) 15:10, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
thank you for your reply! Yes, exactly, it's a catalogue! I'm actually editing the footnotes with the authors. Unfortunately I can't find any link like the one you posted me.. would that be ok anyway? I already posted some in external links. I can keep on researching though.
Also, I think the texts quoted may appear on the artist's personal website, but as you may note, there is only one link for all of them - shall I put it in each footnote anyway?

Hi Sam,
Thank you for reviewing my article Draft:S795 coffee. Can you tell me which statements need stronger references?
I have clarified one statement in the article to make it more clear that there is speculation on the exact origin of S-795. The most important aspect of S-795, however, is it's resistance to the rust disease, which is well known and documented (and hopefully reflected in my references). The unfortunate fact is that there isn't a lot of readily accessible information on this variety (as is the case with many coffee breeds) but this article's existence can act as a starting point for that. People who know more can obviously add their knowledge to the article without having to know how to start a new article from scratch (of which I now understand the difficulty).
I work directly with coffee farmers in Indonesia who grow this breed and even they don't have a lot of information on it.
Thanks again for your help and patience (as this is obviously my first wiki article).

there isn't a lot of readily accessible information. That's a problem when it comes to articles on companies, wannabe bands, products, etc. In all honesty it's probably less of a problem if any problem at all when it comes to a relative obscurity as a coffee strain. But the first question in my head is: is this notable for a standalone article or wouldn't it be better as part of Coffea arabica where we have a section called /Strains/? I could be wrong, so I've asked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Food and drink for comments on your draft. Wouldn't you like to be part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink? Looking at your blog http://blog.oilslickcoffee.com/ which hopefully is licensed under Creative Commons, you're a wealth of coffee information. Let me know if you need anything. A mug of java?
@
Sam Sailor:, all good info. I took a look at the project group and joined it. This will help me get my wiki-feet under me, so to speak. ;)
Regarding S-795 being notable enough for its own page; I'd say yes, if not for the fact that it is one of the first rust-resistant lines, then because it is widely planted in Indonesia and is one of their higher-quality breeds. These are things I know anecdotally and have read on other sites as well, but will need to dig further for credible references before I add that to the page.
Coincidentally, one of the action items in the project group is to clean up the List of coffee varieties page. It was that page that made me assume the goal was to have a page for each variety.
Looking at the /Strains/ section of Coffea arabica (which itself needs work, it looks like), I don't see how it will be useful to talk about all of the varieties/strains there. When you look at the List of coffee varieties, you can see it's a large list and will possibly make Coffea arabica unwieldy. But I could be wrong and would definitely benefit from working with someone who has a clear vision of what that page should look like.
Thanks again for the help and for your patience and hand-holding! I'm excited to be a part of the project!

My article was rejected on the following grounds: "This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms, that are designed to promote or show-off the subject."
I wrote the article with an unbiased view projecting only the facts and information about a certain organization with the help of reliable sources, most of which are different journalism channels. I would like if you will re-review the article from the neutral point of view as well, but I will feel wonderful if you can tell me which of my sources are unreliable or where my tone is not formal, especially where the peacock terms are used. This is my first article, it may have some faults but it would be wonderful if you can be specific about where and what is wrong with the article.

Hi Sam, in this case we need the help of a steward, because he surpass to a crosswiki hoax, I send a message to a Wikidata sysop, but maybe that is insufficent. I collected the name of suckpuppets: Tperdiee, Banbyn, Marfhy012, Luisarangure, Mareioro20. Also the IP 150.186.126.20 must be checked because this is the IP of the university (Universidad Centro Occidental Lisandro Alvarado), also 186.91.205.156, 186.95.172.180, 186.91.202.66, 186.91.239.88, 186.91.191.226, 186.91.160.51, 190.76.244.50 (all are personal IPs). -- Taichi ( talk) 15:12, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
HI SAM SAILER,
Please try to be fair and don't post the wrong information in Samira Samii Wikipedia-Page. You can not use an old article as an evidence for editing a new page. You can not block everyone in this page and just editing by yourself. You can not take a picture of Samira Samii with Fadi Merze for which you don't have the rights on this image. You damage Samira Samii´s reputation and her noble Family as well with old and untrue Article about Mehdi Mahdavikia. I tried to help you several times to update your information unfortunately you don't care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasmin-Shams ( talk • contribs) 16:25, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Sorry, Sam Salier.... But Marriage with Mahdavikia and the articles are not in Mahdavikia´s Wikipedia as well. These will cost her reputation and will lead to juristic problems.

It is already contested on the talk page of the Article.. And why are you giving this tag of deletion on this Article? Please follow up the talk page. Thank You.
I don't know if you're involved at Wikipedia:WikiProject India or not, but I posted a request there about the matter that led me to protect it if you need further information — the user in question seems to have been rewriting a lot of our existing articles about small towns near Hindaun, to assert that they're neighbourhoods in Hindaun (in one case, he even moved a title so that it was being disambiguated as comma Hindaun instead of comma Kaurali District.) I can't find any properly sourced evidence that supports describing them as part of Hindaun, but I can't quite sort out whether the whole thing is being done out of a good faith but misguided perception that this is genuinely the way we should be presenting the area, or the kind of "fantasy metropolis building" one might engage in if they wanted to pretend their hometown was significantly larger or more important than it really is.
I agree with you that the topics you located sound like rather implausible redirects, but I don't have the background knowledge of Hindaun necessary to judge the whole thing by anything other than what it looks like, and what it looks like is disruptive and unhelpful hoax editing. The best thing I can suggest would be to post a followup comment to mine at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject India, pointing those two new ones out for attention.

I notice you removed the {{notability}} tag from the article Further Away. You have added sources, which is good, but it appears these references are not specifically about the subject in question – I believe in order to qualify a subject as Wikipedia-notable it must contain numerous sources specifically about that subject, not just sources which may mention the subject. If this differs from your understanding please let me know, but, if not, I think the {{notability}} tag should be replaced.
Please notify me with the Talkback template once you have replied. Lachlan Foley ( talk) 06:48, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
"in order to qualify a subject as Wikipedia-notable it must contain numerous sources specifically about that subject"seems to me to be in conflict with WP:GNG that says
Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.(my emphasis). Which guideline is being quoted? -- Sam Sing! 10:37, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
"If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created."But this is not the case with "Further Away." And neither that line, nor the
"they have been the subject of ..."supports your initial belief that "it must contain numerous sources specifically about that subject, not just sources which may mention the subject". I personally don't care deeply for this article, I'm merely demonstrating that finding and adding sources was possible, but it does take a greater effort and sends a very different signal than tagging with {{ Refimprove}} or {{ Unreferenced}}. I suggest you put the article up for discussion on AfD. -- Sam Sing! 11:08, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey Sam. Interesting conundrum going on here with this article you recently moved; I'm in an OTRS discussion ( VRTS ticket # 2015012610021121) with the editor who has recently been blocked because they are seeking legal action against another editor inre: recent edits there and the talk page. That said, they claim the company is independent of the Language Solutions company of the same name, and as such, it is problematic to equate the two. If that's the case, the article should probably be moved back to its old location and Planet Veritas should be deleted at this time. I've done a look around for sources for the new company, and I don't see any reliable sources that connect the two companies at this time (unless I'm missing something), nor any independent sources that discuss "Planet Veritas" with any kind of depth for an article.

Hi Sam. Thanks for reminding me of these - I was going to address them before the week ended. It seems a bit WP:POINTY from LF to take them all to AfD, but with enough rope, he'll end up with an AfD ban too.

I blanked those three articles because their negative content was not supported by the sources. Most of the sources are in English, and you can see there is a difference between being arrested for a crime and having committed it, even in India.

Dear Sam, I'm not expert in wiki but I faced a problem creating the article on "Education studies", which is a research field, because it was redirected to "Engineering Education" as teaching activity. I didn't find another solution to create the page on "Education studies" than removing the "redirect".

Engineering studies is an interdisciplinary branch of social sciences devoted to the study of engineers and their activities. Studying engineers refers among other to the history and the sociology of their profession, its institutionalization and organization, the social composition and structure of the population of engineers, their training, their trajectory, etc. A subfield is for instance
Women in engineering. Studying engineering refers to the study of their activities and practices, their role into the society, their engagement.
Engineering studies investigate how social, political, economical, cultural and historical dynamics affect technological research, design, engineering and innovation, and how these, in turn, affect society, economics, politics and culture.

You made a mistake unediting V. K. Singh page.
You made a mistake due to:
EITHER
Your (according to my presumption) ignorance of Hindi language; in which meaning of the word drastically changes from something ordinary "Chhodo" meaning "leave, quit" to something highly vulgar "Chodo" meaning "ahem, well....ahem, let's just say something very vulgar".
OR
You have nothing better to do, and are micro-moderating.

Short answer: Yes. Production companies are fine, the distribution ones are a bit of a grey area and are often non-defining. For example, a non-English language film will have different distribution companies in the US/UK. Might be worth raising it at WT:FILM as it's one area I don't do much editing in.

Hey Sam, I don't know how this works but I only created an account because I was looking for information last night, and all the info had just been deleted and replaced with the word penis. because I did not know how to report the page, I created an account, deleted the profanity, and typed a message someone deleted all the info and replaced with profanity, and I asked for someone to please update the page in my message. This morning when I decided to check for the info I had a message on my account stating that I had vandalized the page, when I did just the opposite. I don't appreciate me being accused of vandalism, especially because it annoys me. Sorry if this message messes up your page (I am new to this) but you did mess up mine by accusing me of vandalism.

I disagree regarding editor Sam Sailor's characterization of the page's tone as not formal enough, and that it uses peacock terms. I would like specific references to moments in the submitted article where informal tone and peacock terms occur. I would also like to see an example of an article about a comparable subject which Sam Sailor believes avoids informality/peacock terms. For example, the Two Dollar Radio page, or the Poets & Writers page.

Hell, Sam, and thanks for the kind words about the article I just submitted. I notice it is rated "class C" and was wondering how I could improve it. I hope to add some photos as soon as I can straighten out copyright issues-- is there anything else I can add or change?

Sam, can you point me to the process for straightening up the disambiguation situation?

Any help would be appreciated. Hudsonberry ( talk) 20:09, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sam, The Sequart page I was trying to create was originally posted on the ComicsRascal account, but was deleted a long time ago when it wasn't approved. I Resubmitted the old page (from the ComicsRascal account with the additions that were suggested previously). This has been frustrating though because (before re-submitting the old page from ComicsRascal) I tried again using this new account (warrenjstuart) and was denied because the article was a duplicate. Should I try to resubmit the old page again (posted by ComicsRascal)? Please advise. 20:30, 18 February 2015 (UTC) Stuart W. 12:29PM PST — Preceding unsigned comment added by Warrenjstuart ( talk • contribs)

Hi Sam. I'm trying to understand the process that gave rise to Metacognitive Therapy. I'm a very experienced editor, but I've never used AFC and don't understand how it works. All I can see is that the article was created by a new editor, user:Wiki Djinn42, who has a total of three edits, the second of which was to create that entire article in a single edit in his sandbox. I have some concerns about the article -- it has a strongly promotional appearance to me. I'm wondering if the AFC process involved some interactions that I can't see, that satisfied you about the article's legitimacy. I'm not accusing anybody of anything, I just don't know how to proceed at this point. Best regards, Looie496 ( talk) 22:32, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

This is my first submission of a Wikipedia entry. I was inspired to create it after stumbling across the entries for products similar to our, but made by competitors. In this case, I referred to
Makroclear, an existing Wikipedia entry, as a template. I admit, I copied and pasted the source content from Makrolon entry and then edited it to contain info about Palsun, which is our brand of polycarbonate. I did not want to plagiarize the Makrolon entry, but I also wanted to follow its form to ensure that it would fit within the Wikipedia standards. The text I added was intended to clarify some things.
I have now edited the entry so that it very closely resembles the Makrolon entry. If it is declined again, I would really like to know, more specifically, why, and how Makrolon would continue to be posted.
Thanks for taking the time to review the first time around. I have a lot of respect for Wikipedia and hope to become a valuable contributor over time. This effort was my first attempt to emulate something that was there. A college English instructor had us do something similar for writing projects, emulate passages from books that we read in class. I learned a lot about structure and form that way. My goal was to do that here too.
Thanks,
Stan Schultz

I confess that it took me a while to look up and figure out how to reply on your talk page—and I'm not yet sure I'm doing it correctly. In an age where typical user interfaces are elegant and easy to use, Wikipedia sure seems to make it somewhat difficult to do. I imagine that normally would help keep a dolt like me from meesing things up. Anyway, thanks for your reply.
So now I have a couple of questions... let me know if I should instead take them to the "Teahouse" (I think I saw that as the place where questions can be answered. I can accept that the "Other stuff exists" argument is no valid, and I appreciate that you redirected the Makroclear article to Polycarbonate, however, the Makroclear article is what inspired my actions to begin with. Near the beginning of that article, "Lexan" and "Makrolon" are mention as "brands" of polycarbonate. I wondered what would prevent me from adding our brand to that entry. I discovered that the entry was locked due to "Disruptive Editing," which i can understand. --as an asside, Lexan and Makrolon are trademarked brands for PC resins and are used with extensions for semi-finished products (i.e. Lexan Corrugated). I'm willing to accept that because Lexan and Makrolon are PC resin brands that they deserve to be listed there, whereas Palsun is only a brand for family of a semi-finished products.
I see that MakroKlear has now been added to the semi-finished products list. It was my original goal to have our brands added to that list. 1) Is that possible? 2) If so, who do I submit the the request to? 3) If not, why? (given that others are listed) 4) SUNLITE is a trademark of Palram Industries, Ltd. and is used for our multi-wall polycarbonate products. The wiki entry Sunlite as being from VMI Plastics in India. We have marketing offices in India, so there is a chance that VMI is selling our product, but they certainly don't attribute Palram on their website (I'm having our people look into that). What is the criteria for determining which products get listed in the semi-finished product list. based on what I see, ours should be listed there (Palsun, Sunlite, and Suntuf).
Again, I appreciate you taking the time to review. Wikipedia is a monstrous colection of information, most of which requires a lot of reading, searching, looking at related links, etc. It's seems pretty challenging to find answers on your own. Schultzenheimer ( talk) 20:37, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

You recently rejected my submission on the equine artist Charles Church because of the lack of reliable references.
This is an artist who is not in the public eye so extended references are difficult, although he has shown work personally to the Queen and his clients include owners like the Aga Khan.
I have included six references in addition to his own website - sees below.
Can you explain what more I need to do ?

WT:MED#Comment on Draft:Hushe A-CES

The following is a closed discussion. Please do not modify it. |
Hello Wikipedia Editor, I should like to highlight a glaring disparity in the way, for example, a film due for release in the coming year, with no independent reviews as yet, is able to make it onto the pages of Wikipedia and yet another product that is not a film but has beneficial applications to mental health is not. I refer of course to your disapproval of the page for the Hushe A-CES, a device which I used last year as part of a research study and found to be exceptionally good at alleviating my insomnia. As with anything that is relatively new, is it not a surprise there exists little third party subject matter on it? And yet a future release of a film is allowable by mere mention by the producer? One feels a tiny bit like a character in George Orwell's 1984, with knowledge being controlled by the whim of those in control. The article I submitted about the Hushe A-CES cranial electrotherapy stimulator manufactured by Hushe Limited in the United Kingdom should not be suppressed just because it is little known of. As with a future film, or a past event, these are all real things. The mere fact that I have not identified a third party as a source of information should not be ground for exclusion and smacks of pedantry. If you look at the research study cited in my article you will find references to comments I and other third parties gave to the study administrator. Am I to infer from your stance that you do not regard this as third party material? If so, do you therefore agree that this implies falsification on the part of the author of that study? I am sure you appreciate the gravity of such an implied statement. I would therefore encourage you to suggest a review of Wikipedia's notability policy and look forward to my article's equal treatment to the countless others which are permitted merely for adhering to cultural precepts of acceptability.

Hi Sam,
The article was originally declined prior to adding Marcus's Film and TV credits. Because of his extensive list of acting credits I believe he is a notable person on his own. The group he is a member of is definitely notable, but the fact that he is a member of SAG with multiple film credits seems that he would meet the criteria. Additionally there was a Wikipedia page for Marcus for several years and it was suddenly deleted right around the same time as another singer from the UK emerged. I believe because of the two individuals with the same name in the same industry should each have their own page. The Texas Tenors page can link to Marcus. Currently if you search Wikipedia for him there is only a page to another singer by the same name.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Well your comment threw me off because you said: "Noting in the sources here used as references indicate that subject is notable for a stand-alone article" But then you declined it after saying he was notable. Were you mistaken in your comment? — Preceding

21:42, 21 February 2015 (UTC)Sam, I sent you a mail with reasons I would like this biography about me to be deleted. I consider some of the content to be disproportionate, only partially accurate, biased and defamatory. While I do not see Wikipedia in any way as a promotional vehicle, I expect it to present information in its proper context.
The inclusion concerning the Moscaline blog post is incompletely reported. The post does not mention that the Moscaline blog followed up with a post noting there had been a miscommunication between us, that he wrote his report while he was angry and that he writes the response of the cycling community got out of hand - about which he expressed contrition in our telephone conversation. Neither is there reference is made to the fact that there were extenuating circumstances and apologies on both side.
The post states that some questioned me, but it does not state that others with better knowledge of the situation wrote in support. The post does not state that some who were critical publicly retracted their remarks.
Furthermore, no caveats are given that sometimes blog posts are unreliable and can create a mob mentality in which an individual is not given a fair hearing and as such should not always be taken seriously. Certainly not seriously enough to be included in Wikipedia.
My question: Did an expert in the field submit this? Or was it somebody who just picked up something from a Google search? Can anybody with a professional agenda or a personal grudge submit to Wikipedia? What are the safeguards against this? I drew this Moscaline post to the attention of an experienced journalist and media manager that I know in Slovenia, Andrej Dekleva, who wrote in response: "oh my god, silly stuff: Skilbeck's credibility as a communications expert has recently been called into question by the cycling community due to his dubious handling of media credentials at the 2013 NAHBS.[1]"
So, at least one expert in the field now thinks Wikipedia includes "silly stuff." Well, two actually, if I count myself. I am sure I could find more if I drew the attention of others to it. Pskilbeck ( talk) 06:03, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
I have not felt comfortable (and still don't) contributing to a discussion about my own biography, which is why I have been silent about all this until now. It's up to others to write if they feel so inclined, and I already have my CV on LinkedIn anyway. I just felt the Moscaline piece was incongruous. Pskilbeck ( talk) 06:55, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

I am new to expanding stub articles - just fixed typos before this. I started with the original, short article, pasting the code into my sandbox. Instead of rewriting the page itself, I used my own sandbox and asked for a review, before pasting it into the article itself. What should I do?
I wanted to add more facts and citations to Brad Myers' stub of an article. Here are the two articles to compare:
1. Stub: /info/en/?search=Brad_Myers which says, "...is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it."
2. My Sandbox: /info/en/?search=User:Athomeeditor/sandbox
Number 1 is very short, so you can easily compare it to my expanded article (keeping the old words and image), number 2. All the things I added are heavily cited, and are mostly about degrees, employment, papers he wrote, and awards he won. Your comments seemed to say that it looked like it could be added, except that it was a duplicate entry. Right?
What should I do next, to expand the stub -- just paste in my revision? I preferred to ask for someone to review it first, which is why there are two -- with the unpublished one staying in my Sandbox until you release it, hopefully! Thanks for your work!

Hi Sam,
I've added additional references for Luminus. The reason I believe Luminus is notable is due to the fact that it's currently the most widely used Clojure web framework and frameworks of similar scope for Ruby and Python have already been accepted by Wikipedia.
I've added a reference for a book published about the framework, an active Google Group with discussions regarding Luminus, as well as additional sites discussing it. It appears that frameworks with similar amount of reference such as Flask have been accepted. Let me know if you're looking for any more specific references or if the updated ones are sufficient.

I don't know why this was denied for notability. Is Valve not a reliable source now? Last time I noticed, Steam Greenlight showed obvious notability for games, plus the fact that the game will eventually become an Early Access game. And if that's not enough, do I need to refer to the forum to show the size of the PULSAR community?

I used "self-published sources" to justify the summary of changes and gameplay of the game. It's literally straight from the developers when I refer to their videos. And I feel like I'm repeating myself here, when a game on Steam is greenlit, it means that Valve has worked with the developers to publish this game on Steam. I'm really speechless when you say that is somehow not notable. I will refer you to this. On top of this, like that page you've linked me has said, I have provided commentary beyond basic game data. From what I understand you want more outside (reliable) sources vs. primary sources, so if that's what you want, then tell me and it's done. -- Bobtinin ( talk) 01:15, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sam Sailor, I recently uploaded an image for a wiki draft. I received the image file directly from the author (It is for a film page) with their permission. The image file is the poster art for the film. After doing so successfully, I received this email message: "The media file has been nominated for deletion." I checked out why (need to get written permission from the author via the wiki permission template). I have filled in the permission template as required. One thing. It states that the permission template must be emailed from an email address that is recognized by wikipedia. My question is: Can I email it from my account as the author is not registered with wikipedia? Thanking you in advance. nairbotanim Feb 23, 2015 Nairbotanim ( talk) 21:23, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

So that is what happened! I noticed the changes and I like them; I just didn't know how they happened. Thank you for doing that. I will proceed with the WikiProject Ship people and I am committed to make this article compliant and to maintain and add to it in the future. In the meantime, can you tell me how to edit a reference?
May I continue to work with you to get this article accepted?
Incidentally, I wrote this from original sources without discussing this with my father-in-law. To my positive surprise, my wife told me she had heard these stories from her father. This makes us feel very confident about what he says. Everything he has said has turned out to be proven true.

What to you need to know exactly.... You can verify some of my story with some of the people that I worked with I guess. Such as Martin Cilia... By all means contact him directly.... He played all of the guitar on my Honky-Tonk Through the Night EP and also gave my one of his own songs called 'Skating On Thin Ice' which he wrote with Dave Warner with whom he mentions having an association with on his wikipedia page. We were also trying to work on another song together called Tamworth Calling but we never finished the idea. Chris Bailey played bass guitar on the same EP but unfortunately, he has now passed away and can't verify my story.
I also won a radio contest to sing with Jon Stevens (Now lead singer of the Dead Daisies) in Perth in 2006-2007 but whether Jon Stevens is able to remember that night is something that I don't know.
Most of this stuff happened before the internet was even popular so finding out or citing information relevant to these events is near on impossible.
I can guarantee that all of this is real and my musical career is still happening with Questions? being readied for release on iTunes worldwide within the next two weeks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davedanmusic ( talk • contribs) 17:24, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sam,
Thanks for reviewing my article submission on Eric Uglum. My goal is to be a good Wikipedia contributor and I feel that I'm learning more with each rewrite. I know you're aware that it's a learning process and can be overwhelming at times and is indeed a process. Having said that, I was wondering if you can perhaps direct me in my rewrite. I'm not sure I understand what steps to take. As far as I can tell I have removed the peacock terms. The other potential problem I see is that each band is in it's own split section. Is that a problem too? What am I missing?
Someone suggested that naming all of the bands he was in was a problem, but to me it's all a culmination of a career that makes him a mainstay in his genre.
If I understand what to do I'll fix it asap. I just would prefer not to labor under a misunderstanding and have to rewrite yet again.
Thanks for your time.

Was going to ask if you could assist me with the article that I created actually... not entirely sure if it's up to scratch, and I'm not entirely convinced that the name is really acceptable or not. If you're up on your football rivalries then I will explain what I mean, if not then no problem. Cheers.
You may have a point actually... the term 'A62 derby' refers to a fixture between two of Huddersfield Town, Leeds United and Oldham Athletic. I thought of using the term 'Roses Derby' or 'War of the Roses' but that is also used for various clubs close to the border Lancashire / Yorkshire boundaries, not just Huddersfield and Oldham - Manchester United and Leeds United being a prime example. Maybe just putting 'Huddersfield-Oldham rivalry' in the same way that a number of others have been on the 'Local derbies in the United Kingdom' category would suffice (for instance, 'Leeds-Manchester United', 'Bolton-Wigan')? Having checked thoroughly, the 'Roses Derby' term clearly gets a lot more hits though than calling it the A62 Derby, although the latter is in fairly common usage... for instance it has been referred to as such by Jeff Stelling on the Saturday football show. It is though most definitely a notable local rivalry in English football, and has been particularly since the 1980s.
Hi Sam, I'd like to query with you your closure of the AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nawabpur Road. There were two comments in favour of keping the article, but neither were steeped in policy; the first was "it's the busiest" and the second was essentially "it's got a lot of history".

Hello! I'm hoping to get some more specific feedback on how to make the Digital Folklore Project page acceptable for creation. It's a project run from a land grant, Research 1 institution (Utah State University), and it involves scholars from all over the US (including the Library of Congress). While we've only had one year of announcing the #DigitalTrendOfTheYear so far, we're already at work on the second year, and we'd like to get an official Wikipedia page up and running so that it can grow with the project. Our initial round of press releases got us some nice national media attention, especially with our runner up of #NotYourMascot (which has its own Wikipedia page). I've added in more citations, but I'm new to the WP thing and I'm not sure what additional information will help. Thanks!

Hello, the artist described in the draft has an upcoming exhibit in an art society in Northern Germany (reference added) I would think this alone as well as the fact that he has been awarded an art prize from the city of Hamburg establish notability. Also, an article about him has been published on the German Wikipedia, and the English one leans heavily on the German one. Thanks for reconsidering the review, and best regards, Jens

Hello,
I'm writing you concerning one article in Wikipedia that has been declined couple of times. I'm a fan of the opera, leaving in Bulgaria and I've visited many events that Operosa has organized in the Balkan area. I asked them why don't the create a page in Wikipedia and they send me the link with the page they are trying to create but has been declined several times. I offered to help. I have lot's of spear time but I'm not very familiar how exactly to make a Wikipedia page. So I've decided to ask you for help if you have time to explain and give your suggestions.
yesterday while I was editing I received that : Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Operosa", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent an organization rather than an individual. Please read WP:CORPNAME. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. --David Biddulph (talk) 04:47, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
I made a new user name, but actually the name that should be for the article is Operosa which is a company.

"they send me the link with the page they are trying to create". In regards to the drafts I think the way forward is to keep working on the oldest, that is Draft:Operosa. Draft:Operosa Opera Festival is almost identical, anyway. What the final article title should be can be decided later. And you should blank your userpage per WP:FAKEARTICLE. I hope this helps. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 01:37, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Declination of submission of article on the 'Historical Archives of the EU'
Thank you for taking care of the page and examining the draft.
Of course, we really do not understand your decision since we added so much sources as we presetnly have at dispostion. We would Of course complete them and add them any time we find something additional.
We really think that our sources are independent and reliable as they come from national and important newspapers. The inauguration of our institution by the President of the Italian Repubblic is thus documentated in a reliable way. The juridical basis of our instituion is a decision by "The European Commission" that we linked to the page.
Do you think that we should take the information on the Historical Archives of the EU out of the page of the European University Institute?

"Wikipedia articles cover notable topics—those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not outside the scope of Wikipedia."And while Wikipedia:Notability-criteria covers subjects, it is not applied to article content (see WP:NNC), hence no need to remove the mention of Historical Archives from European University Institute. But Historical Archives of the European Union are notable, senza dubio. Your focus should be to find reliable, secondary sources to add as references to the article. And it is not as difficult as it may sound. From a Google search using "Historical Archives" "European University Institute" I promptly found

Dear Sam,
Thanks a lot for acceptance of my submission of the article Tigran Maytesian that I have created as an unregistered User 95.67.102.245 (see: /info/en/?search=User_talk:95.67.102.245). By that time I had no registered account and my ip address was used to identify me as a contributor to Wikipedia. Now I have registered my account in Wikipedia under the Tanechka 72 User name to make it possible to further contribute to Wikipedia and improve the article.
To improve the article I need to upload an image of the person (Tigran Maytesian) which is a copyrighted image for which I have permission (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license and the GNU Free Documentation License, OTRS ticket number 2015020610023567). To upload this file (copyrighted image) to Wikipedia my account needs to become confirmed automatically. In the Wikipedia: File Upload Wizard ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:File_Upload_Wizard&?withJS=MediaWiki:FileUploadWizard.js) it goes that "your account will become confirmed automatically once you have made 10 edits and four days have passed since you created it".
I have already made a lot (over 10) of edits regarding my contributed article as a User:95.67.102.245 and by now I need to add an image, no other 10 edits are envisaged so far. My request for manual confirmation of my account Tanechka72 was declined by the Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/Confirmed administrator ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/Confirmed#Confirmation_of_registration_for_account_Tanechka72). He/she also neglected my inquiry for his/her advice how to merge my contributions and activities as a User 95.67.102.245 with my new account Tanechka 72. So now I have no opportunity to proceed with uploading the image to improve the article.
Please, let me know how to merge my contributions and activities as a User 95.67.102.245 with my new account Tanechka 72, to have my track record in my contribution list with the history of edits, so I could proceed with uploading images to the article using the Upload Wizard.

Hi Sam,
thank you for your comment on Silvio Wolf's draft. May I ask you some clarifications? The fact is that I used many essays by different authors published mainly in On the Threshold. Thus, I have not used only one source written by the subject but I quoted it to simplify - I see that this may be misunderstood. Thus, would it be enough to quote each author - published in the same catalogue - instead of just the catalogue (On the Threshold)?
Thanks a lot!
GVndl ( talk) 15:10, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
thank you for your reply! Yes, exactly, it's a catalogue! I'm actually editing the footnotes with the authors. Unfortunately I can't find any link like the one you posted me.. would that be ok anyway? I already posted some in external links. I can keep on researching though.
Also, I think the texts quoted may appear on the artist's personal website, but as you may note, there is only one link for all of them - shall I put it in each footnote anyway?

Hi Sam,
Thank you for reviewing my article Draft:S795 coffee. Can you tell me which statements need stronger references?
I have clarified one statement in the article to make it more clear that there is speculation on the exact origin of S-795. The most important aspect of S-795, however, is it's resistance to the rust disease, which is well known and documented (and hopefully reflected in my references). The unfortunate fact is that there isn't a lot of readily accessible information on this variety (as is the case with many coffee breeds) but this article's existence can act as a starting point for that. People who know more can obviously add their knowledge to the article without having to know how to start a new article from scratch (of which I now understand the difficulty).
I work directly with coffee farmers in Indonesia who grow this breed and even they don't have a lot of information on it.
Thanks again for your help and patience (as this is obviously my first wiki article).

there isn't a lot of readily accessible information. That's a problem when it comes to articles on companies, wannabe bands, products, etc. In all honesty it's probably less of a problem if any problem at all when it comes to a relative obscurity as a coffee strain. But the first question in my head is: is this notable for a standalone article or wouldn't it be better as part of Coffea arabica where we have a section called /Strains/? I could be wrong, so I've asked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Food and drink for comments on your draft. Wouldn't you like to be part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink? Looking at your blog http://blog.oilslickcoffee.com/ which hopefully is licensed under Creative Commons, you're a wealth of coffee information. Let me know if you need anything. A mug of java?
@
Sam Sailor:, all good info. I took a look at the project group and joined it. This will help me get my wiki-feet under me, so to speak. ;)
Regarding S-795 being notable enough for its own page; I'd say yes, if not for the fact that it is one of the first rust-resistant lines, then because it is widely planted in Indonesia and is one of their higher-quality breeds. These are things I know anecdotally and have read on other sites as well, but will need to dig further for credible references before I add that to the page.
Coincidentally, one of the action items in the project group is to clean up the List of coffee varieties page. It was that page that made me assume the goal was to have a page for each variety.
Looking at the /Strains/ section of Coffea arabica (which itself needs work, it looks like), I don't see how it will be useful to talk about all of the varieties/strains there. When you look at the List of coffee varieties, you can see it's a large list and will possibly make Coffea arabica unwieldy. But I could be wrong and would definitely benefit from working with someone who has a clear vision of what that page should look like.
Thanks again for the help and for your patience and hand-holding! I'm excited to be a part of the project!

My article was rejected on the following grounds: "This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms, that are designed to promote or show-off the subject."
I wrote the article with an unbiased view projecting only the facts and information about a certain organization with the help of reliable sources, most of which are different journalism channels. I would like if you will re-review the article from the neutral point of view as well, but I will feel wonderful if you can tell me which of my sources are unreliable or where my tone is not formal, especially where the peacock terms are used. This is my first article, it may have some faults but it would be wonderful if you can be specific about where and what is wrong with the article.
