Thank you Wikiisawesome. I appreciate you taking the time to thoroughly review the article draft for Parables TV. /info/en/?search=Draft:Parables_TV I've gone back to look at each of the sources used thus far (based on your comments). As you stated, they are mostly primary. My intended purpose was to use these sources to confirm a statement made in the article, but they don't offer substantial or general coverage of the network as a whole. I will add more reliable secondary sources. LG Brichetto ( talk) 19:55, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for your note. I would really appreciate some additional guidance on how to overcome the copyright issues. In the event that I donate copyrighted material, I'm unsure as to what to donate. What specifically on the page is perceived as stolen, copyrighted material? I don't have any logos or images yet on the page.
Many thanks.

Thanks Wikiisawesome. I'm just responding to the comments from Tokyogirl who had modified the content of the New Swears page. The whole process was a bit frustrating as 3 reviewers made comments about not being notable enough yet she indicated that there were issues with promotion. It is a fine line between notability and promotion. I will look over the content and make the necessary changes. Thanks for getting back to me Cluetrekk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cluetrekk ( talk • contribs) 13:52, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Wikiiawesome. The anonymous editor making the revisions to the Xaverian Brothers High School article is a student or alumnus at a rival high school named St. Sebastian's. His edits are mean-spirited and meant to disparage Xaverian. If you look at his IP addresses and pattern of revisions, you will will understand. Also, if this continues, can I recommend a temporary lock on edits? Thanks. Stagophile ( talk) 17:20, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi! I noticed your comment on the draft.
On looking at the Letter of Jeremiah link, I did see a connection in terms of the Pseudo-Jeremiah texts, though I didn't find a lot of reference to the Biblical scrolls themselves. Would it work if a redirect to the Letter of Jeremiah link was put in the Pseudo-Jeremiah section? I haven't found much representing the Biblical side of the Jeremiah Qumran finds, so I'm wondering if this will work or not.
Thanks for the input! Azureindignation ( talk) 03:40, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

the content which i had submitted was the creation of my website called as wewantchange.co.in.
i do agree that it is disappointing.. sorry for my bad english. Once I created the article with all references, it is others duty to make it better with citations and other bases. That is what my understanding about wiki.
allow me to create the article. After that to make it better, I shall say to my other wiki friends or I shall do it after spending time to learn.
I do believe that it has enough refernces. Hence you should allow me to create it.
any opposite arguments i shall try to overcome, sure.

Hello! I am the Senior Communications Associate at the Building Performance Institute (BPI) and thought it would be valuable for our company to have a Wikipedia page, so I created one. All of the content is original, albeit some of it is adapted from our own company website. The reasoning behind the decline points to a website that doesn't exist (txhero.org

I recently submitted an article (The Buffelsdraai Landfill Site Community Reforestation Project) for review to Articles for creation. The article was declined because it included copyrighted material. I am the author of that copyrighted material of which you declined based on. I need to submit this material as Durban is a finalist for the C40 awards at upcoming COP21 in Paris – and Buffelsdraai Landfill site is the case study. As such, I need to ensure that the article is uploaded soon. Going forward, seeing that I am the author of the booklet that the article was copied from, how do I upload the article without being penalized for copying from my own work?

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to do a review. I added a several new, major external source (see CB insights, StackOverflow, and more) and replaced some Logz.io citations with external ones. Also, as I mentioned when SwisterTwister originally reviewed the article (and then said it was fine), the wikipage of a company in the same industry, Loggly, has the same level of external sources (and possibly fewer). So, I'm not sure why Logz.io was declined. Can I request a review and comparison with Loggly? Thanks so much for taking the time! :)
Hi. Quick question, went to review the above draft, and saw that you had CSD'd it. Would it have been appropriate it to decline it as an attack page, blanking it? Onel5969 TT me 22:38, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
I'd declined as you did at Diff of Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects. But the thing is that the suggested redirect is empty when viewed from an iPad (and I therefore assume from an Mac as well) but shows a black droplet (U+1F322) in Chrome on a PC.

I am not going to bother with revdel'ing only the infringing content, but will simply delete these pages.

“ | The proper way to get your own writing about yourself into Wikipedia if you really think that you can meet the inclusion criteria and are willing to accept having a neutral, non-promotional article, is to make a proposal at Articles for creation containing the text you want, instead of just putting it into the encyclopedia directly, and seek the consensus of the community through discussion. | ” |
Hello Wikiisawesome, nice to knoow you and thanks for your welcome!
As you know I'm new on Wikipedia, that's why I made some mistakes.. and I neeed your advice.

Thank you for looking at my draft 'Instant Hedges'
In your comments, you mention that my article appears to be taken from
http://www.hedgelink.org.uk
However, a couple of paragraphs have disappeared:
Reasons for using a hedge as a garden boundary and
The importance of hedgerows - it was this paragraph (and only this one) that I used Hedgelink as a source of information.
I was wondering whether, as my subject's notability has been questioned, whether it should be a section of the existing hedges (hedgerow) wiki listing.
Thank you for your advice.

Hi, This is only my second article. I have been very careful to provide citations / links. Almost everything that I've used has multiple sources. I tried not to plagiarize, but if I've done so, I'll fix it by putting it more in my own words or using quotation marks. It's hard to do that if it's already been deleted.

Hello,
The Chat Enabled Collaboration is a new category just as CRM and ERP is. Whilst chat is the backbone of communication this does not describe the entry. This is about new business processes based on chat systems that are being implemented by companies such as RBS, UBS etc. Intranet is an internal repository, none real-time and asynchronous. CEC is about real-time knowledge sharing. Those two have nothing in common but sharing the umbrella of UC technologies.

Wellgo page creation was declined. Not sure what to do exactly/questions around attempted creation.
I created the page regarding Wellgo as I googled 'Wellgo wiki' and ended up at the German Wikipedia page for the company:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellgo
The page I created is just a translated version of the German one, and uses the same sources. I figured this would be useful for other people who are English speaking.
Since this is the first time I have tried to do this, I was wondering if it is in general insufficient to create a page on the English Wikipedia on the basis that it exists in another language's Wikipedia and what rules exist around that. Thanks a lot!

We considered your comments seriously and have since added a lot of references. Could our work be accepted as it is now, bearing in mind that : 1) Not every single sentence is referenced but a large majority is? 2)We're still updating some of the missing information in the tables?
Thanks in advance for your answer!
Hey reviewer! Do you mind pointing out the copyrighted text in question? I did write all of this myself but might have echoed the LFDA website without necessarily intending - I'd be happy to reword.
I have updated some of the sourcing and removed links to documents and made them general page links to the page with the documents. I also added in a 3rd party source for Pierce's gubernatorial run. What more can I do to improve it? Some of the stuff will not have a source other than his own info.
I added the TL;DR to the TL;DR page but you removed it because it wasn't constructive. One: It's an easter egg. It's funny. Two: It's constructive in the manner people may use the TL;DR because the article was too long.

Because there was no reason given as to why my changes were removed. I was told only they had been rejected. They shouldn't have been. Wikipedia does not belong to the one person who removed my info. It is as stated for anyone to addition material to. I added relevant information correct to the articles on Moon Knight. I made note of ALL of his powers, not the few stated which does not cover most of them. I summarised and condensed the long winded and space consuming section on contributors and the section on issues and volume numbers and years of release. I also added information from the 2006 series onwards that is correct referencing to Marvel and other pages where I could as being a 'comic' there is no reference material really to use except for Marvels own site and some other comprehensive sites. This isn't referencing history books. I changed some of the sentences and grammar that are the problem with the page as stated at the very top by Wikipedia itself saying the page has multiple issues. WHY can't I at my leisure fix those. I should be able to without having someone look over the top of me saying I don't like that. If you have changed my changes you have contributed back to making the page look shoddy and unprofessional. Compare it to Wikipedia's Batman page which is absolutely perfect in every way...no mistakes, no issues, perfect grammar and sentences. Moon Knight is riddled with issues especially to the listing of issue years. They stated that the 2006 -2009 series was series 5, the bendis/maleev series as 6 and the current available series as 7 which is incorrect. Whoever listed this should not be allowed to add stuff. They have it all wrong. Call up and order a book and you will be told it is currently up to Series 8! Vengeance was not included in the series run which going backwards leaves Bendis/Maleev as 7 and the 2006-2009 series as series 6.
I would appreciate some feedback as to why my additions were rejected, not just that they have been. They are informative and contribute to the overall good nature of the article. I would like to change more aspects of the page to get it up to being a professional page and not this half done shoddy thing that looks unfinished and not cared for.
Matthew <~~15th Dec, 2015 17:39~~>
If I want to make contributions to change some of the wording as there are numerous issues with sentence structure, how do I do this? I would really like to see Wikipedia's Moon Knight page up as one of the go to pages for Moon Knight associated material in not only its content but its aesthetic appeal. Moon Knight is gaining popularity especially from the latest series run (series 8) and the proposed Netflix upcoming run coupled with a possible movie consideration. Having an up to date and easily to follow page but without clutter and over wording is imperative. I personally would like to go over sections and submit them for consideration in the hope that they will be included. Is there someone I should be submitting these to or yourself.

It is a fine line between notability and promotion. I will look over the content and make the necessary changes.

Wikiiawesome. The anonymous editor making the revisions to the Xaverian Brothers High School article is a student or alumnus at a rival high school named St. Sebastian's. His edits are mean-spirited and meant to disparage Xaverian. If you look at his IP addresses and pattern of revisions, you will will understand. Also, if this continues, can I recommend a temporary lock on edits? Thanks. Stagophile ( talk) 17:20, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi! I noticed your comment on the draft.
On looking at the Letter of Jeremiah link, I did see a connection in terms of the Pseudo-Jeremiah texts, though I didn't find a lot of reference to the Biblical scrolls themselves. Would it work if a redirect to the Letter of Jeremiah link was put in the Pseudo-Jeremiah section? I haven't found much representing the Biblical side of the Jeremiah Qumran finds, so I'm wondering if this will work or not.

the content which i had submitted was the creation of my website called as wewantchange.co.in.
i do agree that it is disappointing.. sorry for my bad english. Once I created the article with all references, it is others duty to make it better with citations and other bases. That is what my understanding about wiki.
allow me to create the article. After that to make it better, I shall say to my other wiki friends or I shall do it after spending time to learn.
I do believe that it has enough refernces. Hence you should allow me to create it.
any opposite arguments i shall try to overcome, sure.

All of the content is original, albeit some of it is adapted from our own company website. The reasoning behind the decline points to a website that doesn't exist (txhero.org

I recently submitted an article (The Buffelsdraai Landfill Site Community Reforestation Project) for review to Articles for creation. The article was declined because it included copyrighted material. I am the author of that copyrighted material of which you declined based on. I need to submit this material as Durban is a finalist for the C40 awards at upcoming COP21 in Paris – and Buffelsdraai Landfill site is the case study. As such, I need to ensure that the article is uploaded soon. Going forward, seeing that I am the author of the booklet that the article was copied from, how do I upload the article without being penalized for copying from my own work?

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to do a review. I added a several new, major external source (see CB insights, StackOverflow, and more) and replaced some Logz.io citations with external ones. Also, as I mentioned when SwisterTwister originally reviewed the article (and then said it was fine), the wikipage of a company in the same industry, Loggly, has the same level of external sources (and possibly fewer). So, I'm not sure why Logz.io was declined. Can I request a review and comparison with Loggly? Thanks so much for taking the time! :)

I'd declined as you did at Diff of Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects.

In your comments, you mention that my article appears to be taken from

However, a couple of paragraphs have disappeared:
Reasons for using a hedge as a garden boundary and
The importance of hedgerows - it was this paragraph (and only this one) that I used Hedgelink as a source of information.

Hi, This is only my second article. I have been very careful to provide citations / links. Almost everything that I've used has multiple sources. I tried not to plagiarize, but if I've done so, I'll fix it by putting it more in my own words or using quotation marks. It's hard to do that if it's already been deleted.

Wellgo page creation was declined. Not sure what to do exactly/questions around attempted creation.
I created the page regarding Wellgo as I googled 'Wellgo wiki' and ended up at the German Wikipedia page for the company:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellgo
The page I created is just a translated version of the German one, and uses the same sources. I figured this would be useful for other people who are English speaking.
Since this is the first time I have tried to do this, I was wondering if it is in general insufficient to create a page on the English Wikipedia on the basis that it exists in another language's Wikipedia and what rules exist around that. Thanks a lot!

We considered your comments seriously and have since added a lot of references. Could our work be accepted as it is now, bearing in mind that : 1) Not every single sentence is referenced but a large majority is? 2)We're still updating some of the missing information in the tables?
Thanks in advance for your answer!
Hey reviewer! Do you mind pointing out the copyrighted text in question? I did write all of this myself but might have echoed the LFDA website without necessarily intending - I'd be happy to reword.
I have updated some of the sourcing and removed links to documents and made them general page links to the page with the documents. I also added in a 3rd party source for Pierce's gubernatorial run. What more can I do to improve it? Some of the stuff will not have a source other than his own info.
I added the TL;DR to the TL;DR page but you removed it because it wasn't constructive. One: It's an easter egg. It's funny. Two: It's constructive in the manner people may use the TL;DR because the article was too long.

Because there was no reason given as to why my changes were removed. I was told only they had been rejected. They shouldn't have been. Wikipedia does not belong to the one person who removed my info. It is as stated for anyone to addition material to. I added relevant information correct to the articles on Moon Knight. I made note of ALL of his powers, not the few stated which does not cover most of them. I summarised and condensed the long winded and space consuming section on contributors and the section on issues and volume numbers and years of release. I also added information from the 2006 series onwards that is correct referencing to Marvel and other pages where I could as being a 'comic' there is no reference material really to use except for Marvels own site and some other comprehensive sites. This isn't referencing history books. I changed some of the sentences and grammar that are the problem with the page as stated at the very top by Wikipedia itself saying the page has multiple issues. WHY can't I at my leisure fix those. I should be able to without having someone look over the top of me saying I don't like that. If you have changed my changes you have contributed back to making the page look shoddy and unprofessional. Compare it to Wikipedia's Batman page which is absolutely perfect in every way...no mistakes, no issues, perfect grammar and sentences. Moon Knight is riddled with issues especially to the listing of issue years. They stated that the 2006 -2009 series was series 5, the bendis/maleev series as 6 and the current available series as 7 which is incorrect. Whoever listed this should not be allowed to add stuff. They have it all wrong. Call up and order a book and you will be told it is currently up to Series 8! Vengeance was not included in the series run which going backwards leaves Bendis/Maleev as 7 and the 2006-2009 series as series 6.
I would appreciate some feedback as to why my additions were rejected, not just that they have been. They are informative and contribute to the overall good nature of the article. I would like to change more aspects of the page to get it up to being a professional page and not this half done shoddy thing that looks unfinished and not cared for.
Matthew <~~15th Dec, 2015 17:39~~>
If I want to make contributions to change some of the wording as there are numerous issues with sentence structure, how do I do this? I would really like to see Wikipedia's Moon Knight page up as one of the go to pages for Moon Knight associated material in not only its content but its aesthetic appeal. Moon Knight is gaining popularity especially from the latest series run (series 8) and the proposed Netflix upcoming run coupled with a possible movie consideration. Having an up to date and easily to follow page but without clutter and over wording is imperative. I personally would like to go over sections and submit them for consideration in the hope that they will be included. Is there someone I should be submitting these to or yourself.
