Hi Wikiisawesome thanks for your review and feedback. We had made all the updates requested by previous editors and took care not to make any missteps in regards to copyright issues. Can you offer any additional guidance on how your specific concerns can be addressed? Thx, SusanChana ( talk) 16:18, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
@ SusanChana: Hi, Susan. Yes, there are quite a few reviewers and so we all take turns reviewing drafts. That helps ensure impartiality and it gets multiple sets of eyeballs on the draft. I think the problem with the draft ZS Associates is that the "The Company" section is sort of promotional. For example, "ZS Associates offers integrated sales and marketing services ranging from customer insights and strategy to analytics, operations and technology" is a sentence i don't understand. What are "integrated sales services"? "Marketing services"? "Analytics, operations and technology"? Those are all buzzwords; I don't understand what ZS Associates actually does from reading this section. You should try to rewrite this so that a layperson—someone who doesn't know anything about PR or global management consulting—can understand clearly what the company does. It might require removing some content, but that's okay; the goal is to have a good article, not a lengthy article that's not comprehensible.
Another problem with the article is that most of it seems like it's a resume for the company. The section on competitors, publications, and the laundry list of awards and honours the company has won don't strike me as that important. By all means, keep the key ones, but if it were up to me, I'd get rid of the rest.
You might want to read WP:CORP; it explains exactly what you need to include in an article about a corporation for it to be notable. I know it's a lot of information to process, so for now I'd work on improving the promotional tone. After that, you can take a look at WP:CORP and work on references. wia ( talk) 20:33, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello Wikiisawsome, Thank you for getting back to me about the Valeri Larko page. I will re-write the article in a more neutral tone. Is there a deadline for re-writing before it's deleted? I may not be able to get to it immediately.

Am very upset to know that this page is refused to be created. am not upset because its my page or its my interest. the reasons are:
1. I have been honest enough to tell openly that i m a childhood friend and i want to create it in his interest. 2. The words "his interest" over here do not mean his advertisement.still i ve been accused of writing it as if it s an advertisement. It only means providing correct info about him to people coz lots pf info pages have printed wrong info about him including a current page by a fan on wikipedia. 3. The current page already published had worse and totally baseless references than I have given on my page. 4. I had a chat on live help chat when i started the draft on this page. - i was told that I should edit on the current page and then copy and paste into the draft and publish. i was also told that facebook link as reference is acceptable for personal information (which is what i ve given) 5. All other references are published articles in newspapers mostly with only a couple of them being different; which also are articles published about him. 6. Even notable personalities on their pages have given newspaper articles, you tube videos etc as references for eg, Shri Amitabh Bacchan 7. in my second live help chat i was told not to create this article but only edit the existing. i was also told that for small or minor info facebook page links are ok to be given as reference but not for large content (which i havent). I was told also that newspaper articles even epaper are notifiable sources. 8. I being a new user i was confused - how can i edit an article already being considered for deletion..will editing save it from being deleted?? 9.so i end up editing the page, publishing one directly and submitting one too!! so that at least one of them works!!! 10. Maybe i need to improve upon the layout which i m not clear of as of now but am willing to find out and improve. but its hurtful to be said inspite of being very clear and honest about everything; that I m trying to advertise and the references are self created - no they re not! 11. So many unverified articles are floating on wikipedia without any action being taken against them. 12. and I m being honest and giving correct info and am being stopped from creating this article!!! also, while so many articles are pending after submission for last 18-20 days mine is reviewed and rejected in just a day!!! 13. why are u people being unfair to me?! just coz i ve spilled the truth as it is without any artificiality to it?!

Hi!
Thrilled to hear about the NYT article being good to go, I think I am getting it all now. (finally!!)
I have mentioned on another page and I imagine you have not read it but I work for Martin. The Wiki-update was his request, as the previous page was simply not representing him properly. (no offense of course to previous poster.) That said, since I have Martins permission to write what is posted on his IMDB, can I post it on his wiki page? If so, would someone need a personal emai with his approval of said information?
Further, I have read previously saying I must indicate somewhere that his page was written by someone who works for him, which is no secret here.
THANK YOU!!!

I wonder if you know about this. I looked at your talk page, saw that yow have archives, but am not sure you have set it up to run automatically. If you would like to know how, have a look at mine. I have the following code at the head:
{{User:MiszaBot/config |archiveheader = {{talk archive navigation}} |maxarchivesize = 100K |counter = 24 |minthreadsleft = 5 |minthreadstoarchive = 1 |algo = old(7d) |archive = User talk:Timtrent/Archive %(counter)d }}
Probably self explanatory!

You edited "sexual partners" on the caption of a picture on the sappho blog because you claimed it represented a non neutral point of view. Can you explain in more detail why you thought that caption represents a non-neutral point of view and why "friends" represents a more neutral point of view? I originally changed the caption from "gal pals" which to me is clearly non-neutral in that obstructs the fact that the painting is a depiction of a sex act. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.2.197.29 ( talk) 01:26, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

The article has not been accepted because it has overlap with http://www.if.ufrj.br/~bk/Bio.htm. Would it be possible to change the article fate if Belita Koiller allows me explicitely to reproduce that content? Is there a procedure for that?

Dear WIA,
I’ve been busy over the past week or so rewriting the article that you had edited for me. My submission was on Stephen Drucker’s quote, “Do What You Do Best and Outsource the Rest.” I tried to take to heart all of the recommendations that you made. I carefully considered your advice and I was forced to agree with everything that you had said. My article did indeed read more like an essay that a wiki article. As you pointed out, it seemed as if it was more about Peter Drucker and the definition of outsourcing than about the quote itself. I have done my best to sound more “encyclopedic” and less bombastic, and to make the article more specifically about the quote itself.
The most important thing that you told me was your “third major suggestion.” (wia (talk) 16:56, 15 April 2015 (UTC)) You advised that I needed some more sources that talked directly about the quote itself rather than its author. You acknowledge that the” Forbes article mentioned it albeit briefly.” Hopefully, I pulled it off! 1) I referenced 2 additional books that discussed the quote. 2) I also referenced another magazine for entrepreneurs that spoke of the quote. 3) I wrote a paragraph or 2 about a report in a recent issue of Inc. Magazine about the Small Business Association (SBA). During the National Small Business Week conference, the SBA set up a panel where they discussed, the quote specifically, the strategy behind it and how it applies to small and medium businesses, especially startups. 4) I also referenced a report by the Federal Reserve entitled “Do What You Do Best and Outsource the Rest,” It discussed the effects that the strategy advocated by the quote has had on both the US economy and India’s well. 5) I also found 2 management consulting firms that use the quote in their media and advocate the strategies outlined by it.
The theme of the new article could be “The evolution of ‘Do What You Do Best and Outsource the Rest’ from a slogan / tagline, to an international business strategy.” As I said, I took seriously your suggestions, especially the comments on the fact that I needed more references about the quote itself. I look forward to your critique, and I hope that I’ve made some progress in learning how to write “the wiki way. I’m trying to post the new article now. Thank you for your kind consideration, I remain,

Hello, and thanks for your feedback. There is a couple of (third-party) articles about Apache Flink. Please give feedback if those would improve the Apache Flink Wikipedia article:
* http://siliconangle.com/blog/2015/02/09/will-the-mysterious-apache-flink-find-its-sweet-spot-in-the-enterprise/ * http://www.datanami.com/2015/01/12/apache-flink-takes-route-distributed-data-processing/ * http://bigdataanalyticsnews.com/apache-flink-possible-replacement-hadoop/
One more (unfortunalty, in German; however, heise.de is a very reliable German news source):
* http://www.heise.de/developer/meldung/Big-Data-Apache-Flink-wird-Top-Level-Projekt-2516177.html

In German, again:
* http://www.heise.de/developer/meldung/Big-Data-Google-Cloud-Dataflow-bekommt-Runner-fuer-Apache-Flink-2583392.html
Would it improve the article, if links would be removed? Comparing other Wikipedia articles about Apache projects, some of them have only very few links. For example:

Dear Wikiiawsome
Thank you for your comments on the Fcia0423/draft article on Confucius Statue page. This is part of a classroom activity and I created this draft page so students who worked on this topic can add material from their sandboxes to one place where they can collaboratively make edits, refine, add headings, links etc. They know that they will need to correct their writing, only write about what's been published, reference everything, etc. Unfortunately, one of them seems to have submitted it for creation (despite our instructions not to). I'm very sorry, Is there any way to turn this back? It seems like we are going to face many obstacles if we want to get university students involved in editing and contributing to Wikipedia because they always come in largish class sizes (this one has around 80 students divided into about 4 classes of 20). Please let me know if you have any advice for us. Frances Di Lauro 04:13, 22 April 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fcia0423 ( talk • contribs)

Thanks for your feedback, (and your copy reading!). This was my first article creation at Wikipedia. As you detected, I had three separate stubs on my Sandbox page and while I had intended to simply create a single article from one of them following the automated procedure apparent got the mash-up you (quite rightly) rejected. I created the article separately by cut and paste and I now have a clearer idea of the procedure. Can I now remove the rejection template? Or do you need to do it? Is the normal procedure in these precincts to create a separate Sandbox page for each new article? Ralohmann ( talk) 16:28, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
Before we submit our new article, can you tell me some specific things to change? I understand that it sounds too much like an advertisement, so if you could just point out the specific instances, I can go through and make the appropriate changes.
Thank you!

Though it is true that pecuniloquism is not online that is because I have created it as part of a college experiment. I thought that wiki as a coming together of information and collective knowledge that this would be the perfect place to circulate the idea.
I understand that the purpose of the site is lost if the veracity of the posts are in question. However I can tell you that this is both a well thought out and practical idea. I assure you that when I finish my thesis I will cite as much as is possible but I ask you to please consider the potential of allowing this post onto the open site both for the idea in its self an for the broader purpose

In regard to the rejection of the article on Arturo D Hernandez I have several questions:
1. If the copyright owner Quaestor Press agrees to put its page under license using the Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license and the article gives proper attribution to Quaestor Press in the credit sources would the article be acceptable?
2. Where and how would Quaestor Press file or otherwise accept this license? I have the language of the license, but there is no signature line or indication of how to accept it.

Dear Wia,
I refer to my article on Flora MacDonnell that you reviewed. The article was deleted due to notability concerns. I was advised to find third party, reliable, and verifiable citations, but I already have references to two reputable and well-reviewed academic books by two different authors and to a website of one of Ireland's leading theatres.

I answered "No, you can't"(in short). I think I gave a wrong answer because I see many things in dab pages that don't have an article about them. Is it acceptable to have anything in dab page that don't have an article about it? I don't know much about what goes into dab page.

Hi Wikiisawesome,
Thanks for having taken the time to look at the draft ( /info/en/?search=Draft:TinyCOBOL).
I started my edits by making the main description paragraph readable by profane people, as recommended by kikichugirl.
Then I made several modifications, particularly on references, to have more of them and more precise. I think I'm on the right track, but I seek a confirmation.
Also, I don't know where the reference #7 should really go: in "See also" or "External links" ?
Thx in advance,

Hi Wikiisawesome thanks for your review and feedback. We had made all the updates requested by previous editors and took care not to make any missteps in regards to copyright issues. Can you offer any additional guidance on how your specific concerns can be addressed? Thx, SusanChana ( talk) 16:18, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
@ SusanChana: Hi, Susan. Yes, there are quite a few reviewers and so we all take turns reviewing drafts. That helps ensure impartiality and it gets multiple sets of eyeballs on the draft. I think the problem with the draft ZS Associates is that the "The Company" section is sort of promotional. For example, "ZS Associates offers integrated sales and marketing services ranging from customer insights and strategy to analytics, operations and technology" is a sentence i don't understand. What are "integrated sales services"? "Marketing services"? "Analytics, operations and technology"? Those are all buzzwords; I don't understand what ZS Associates actually does from reading this section. You should try to rewrite this so that a layperson—someone who doesn't know anything about PR or global management consulting—can understand clearly what the company does. It might require removing some content, but that's okay; the goal is to have a good article, not a lengthy article that's not comprehensible.
Another problem with the article is that most of it seems like it's a resume for the company. The section on competitors, publications, and the laundry list of awards and honours the company has won don't strike me as that important. By all means, keep the key ones, but if it were up to me, I'd get rid of the rest.
You might want to read WP:CORP; it explains exactly what you need to include in an article about a corporation for it to be notable. I know it's a lot of information to process, so for now I'd work on improving the promotional tone. After that, you can take a look at WP:CORP and work on references. wia ( talk) 20:33, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Am very upset to know that this page is refused to be created. am not upset because its my page or its my interest. the reasons are:
1. I have been honest enough to tell openly that i m a childhood friend and i want to create it in his interest. 2. The words "his interest" over here do not mean his advertisement.still i ve been accused of writing it as if it s an advertisement. It only means providing correct info about him to people coz lots pf info pages have printed wrong info about him including a current page by a fan on wikipedia. 3. The current page already published had worse and totally baseless references than I have given on my page. 4. I had a chat on live help chat when i started the draft on this page. - i was told that I should edit on the current page and then copy and paste into the draft and publish. i was also told that facebook link as reference is acceptable for personal information (which is what i ve given) 5. All other references are published articles in newspapers mostly with only a couple of them being different; which also are articles published about him. 6. Even notable personalities on their pages have given newspaper articles, you tube videos etc as references for eg, Shri Amitabh Bacchan 7. in my second live help chat i was told not to create this article but only edit the existing. i was also told that for small or minor info facebook page links are ok to be given as reference but not for large content (which i havent). I was told also that newspaper articles even epaper are notifiable sources. 8. I being a new user i was confused - how can i edit an article already being considered for deletion..will editing save it from being deleted?? 9.so i end up editing the page, publishing one directly and submitting one too!! so that at least one of them works!!! 10. Maybe i need to improve upon the layout which i m not clear of as of now but am willing to find out and improve. but its hurtful to be said inspite of being very clear and honest about everything; that I m trying to advertise and the references are self created - no they re not! 11. So many unverified articles are floating on wikipedia without any action being taken against them. 12. and I m being honest and giving correct info and am being stopped from creating this article!!! also, while so many articles are pending after submission for last 18-20 days mine is reviewed and rejected in just a day!!! 13. why are u people being unfair to me?! just coz i ve spilled the truth as it is without any artificiality to it?!

Hi!
Thrilled to hear about the NYT article being good to go, I think I am getting it all now. (finally!!)
I have mentioned on another page and I imagine you have not read it but I work for Martin. The Wiki-update was his request, as the previous page was simply not representing him properly. (no offense of course to previous poster.) That said, since I have Martins permission to write what is posted on his IMDB, can I post it on his wiki page? If so, would someone need a personal emai with his approval of said information?
Further, I have read previously saying I must indicate somewhere that his page was written by someone who works for him, which is no secret here.
THANK YOU!!!

You edited "sexual partners" on the caption of a picture on the sappho blog because you claimed it represented a non neutral point of view. Can you explain in more detail why you thought that caption represents a non-neutral point of view and why "friends" represents a more neutral point of view? I originally changed the caption from "gal pals" which to me is clearly non-neutral in that obstructs the fact that the painting is a depiction of a sex act. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.2.197.29 ( talk) 01:26, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Dear WIA,
I’ve been busy over the past week or so rewriting the article that you had edited for me. My submission was on Stephen Drucker’s quote, “Do What You Do Best and Outsource the Rest.” I tried to take to heart all of the recommendations that you made. I carefully considered your advice and I was forced to agree with everything that you had said. My article did indeed read more like an essay that a wiki article. As you pointed out, it seemed as if it was more about Peter Drucker and the definition of outsourcing than about the quote itself. I have done my best to sound more “encyclopedic” and less bombastic, and to make the article more specifically about the quote itself.
The most important thing that you told me was your “third major suggestion.” (wia (talk) 16:56, 15 April 2015 (UTC)) You advised that I needed some more sources that talked directly about the quote itself rather than its author. You acknowledge that the” Forbes article mentioned it albeit briefly.” Hopefully, I pulled it off! 1) I referenced 2 additional books that discussed the quote. 2) I also referenced another magazine for entrepreneurs that spoke of the quote. 3) I wrote a paragraph or 2 about a report in a recent issue of Inc. Magazine about the Small Business Association (SBA). During the National Small Business Week conference, the SBA set up a panel where they discussed, the quote specifically, the strategy behind it and how it applies to small and medium businesses, especially startups. 4) I also referenced a report by the Federal Reserve entitled “Do What You Do Best and Outsource the Rest,” It discussed the effects that the strategy advocated by the quote has had on both the US economy and India’s well. 5) I also found 2 management consulting firms that use the quote in their media and advocate the strategies outlined by it.
The theme of the new article could be “The evolution of ‘Do What You Do Best and Outsource the Rest’ from a slogan / tagline, to an international business strategy.” As I said, I took seriously your suggestions, especially the comments on the fact that I needed more references about the quote itself. I look forward to your critique, and I hope that I’ve made some progress in learning how to write “the wiki way. I’m trying to post the new article now. Thank you for your kind consideration, I remain,

Hello, and thanks for your feedback. There is a couple of (third-party) articles about Apache Flink. Please give feedback if those would improve the Apache Flink Wikipedia article:

In German, again:
* http://www.heise.de/developer/meldung/Big-Data-Google-Cloud-Dataflow-bekommt-Runner-fuer-Apache-Flink-2583392.html
Would it improve the article, if links would be removed? Comparing other Wikipedia articles about Apache projects, some of them have only very few links. For example:

Dear Wikiiawsome
Thank you for your comments on the Fcia0423/draft article on Confucius Statue page. This is part of a classroom activity and I created this draft page so students who worked on this topic can add material from their sandboxes to one place where they can collaboratively make edits, refine, add headings, links etc. They know that they will need to correct their writing, only write about what's been published, reference everything, etc. Unfortunately, one of them seems to have submitted it for creation (despite our instructions not to). I'm very sorry, Is there any way to turn this back? It seems like we are going to face many obstacles if we want to get university students involved in editing and contributing to Wikipedia because they always come in largish class sizes (this one has around 80 students divided into about 4 classes of 20). Please let me know if you have any advice for us. Frances Di Lauro 04:13, 22 April 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fcia0423 ( talk • contribs)

Thanks for your feedback, (and your copy reading!). This was my first article creation at Wikipedia. As you detected, I had three separate stubs on my Sandbox page and while I had intended to simply create a single article from one of them following the automated procedure apparent got the mash-up you (quite rightly) rejected. I created the article separately by cut and paste and I now have a clearer idea of the procedure. Can I now remove the rejection template? Or do you need to do it? Is the normal procedure in these precincts to create a separate Sandbox page for each new article? Ralohmann ( talk) 16:28, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
Before we submit our new article, can you tell me some specific things to change? I understand that it sounds too much like an advertisement, so if you could just point out the specific instances, I can go through and make the appropriate changes.

Though it is true that pecuniloquism is not online that is because I have created it as part of a college experiment. I thought that wiki as a coming together of information and collective knowledge that this would be the perfect place to circulate the idea.
I understand that the purpose of the site is lost if the veracity of the posts are in question. However I can tell you that this is both a well thought out and practical idea. I assure you that when I finish my thesis I will cite as much as is possible but I ask you to please consider the potential of allowing this post onto the open site both for the idea in its self an for the broader purpose

In regard to the rejection of the article on Arturo D Hernandez I have several questions:
1. If the copyright owner Quaestor Press agrees to put its page under license using the Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license and the article gives proper attribution to Quaestor Press in the credit sources would the article be acceptable?
2. Where and how would Quaestor Press file or otherwise accept this license? I have the language of the license, but there is no signature line or indication of how to accept it.

I have a small doubt about disambiguation pages. An anonymous user asked me a question that "can't we have a product in disambiguation page if it does not have an article?" I answered "No, you can't"(in short). I think I gave a wrong answer because I see many things in dab pages that don't have an article about them. Is it acceptable to have anything in dab page that don't have an article about it? I don't know much about what goes into dab page. Can you please clarify my doubt? — Supdiop talk 04:35, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
I noticed you reviewed my article, Draft:Panamá Oeste and rejected it. I was actually getting those statistics from the Provinces of Panama page. I found an article about that specific province on the Spanish Wikipedia: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincia_de_Panamá_Oeste. Is it alright if I translate the article and put it into the draft?

Hi Wikiisawesome,
Thanks for having taken the time to look at the draft ( /info/en/?search=Draft:TinyCOBOL).
I started my edits by making the main description paragraph readable by profane people, as recommended by kikichugirl.
Then I made several modifications, particularly on references, to have more of them and more precise. I think I'm on the right track, but I seek a confirmation.
Also, I don't know where the reference #7 should really go: in "See also" or "External links" ?
Thx in advance,
