You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you are more than welcome to continue submitting work to Articles for Creation.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Hi Pol430! Would you consider accepting me into your adoption school program? I appreciate your use of assignments and a grading system, and I think I would benefit from your conventional style of educating about Wikipedia. I currently do recent changes patrolling for vandalism as well as some light contributions whenever I find something that strikes me, but I'd like to get more involved in Wikipedia as well as develop a better understanding of its policies -- your program seems like a great place to start. Please let me know if you are available. Thank you! Rinkle gorge ( talk) 04:10, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey Pol430! We've finally finished the NPT prototype and deployed it on enwiki. We'll be holding an office hours session on the 16th at 21:00 in #wikimedia-office to show it off, get feedback and plot future developments - hope to see you there! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 03:34, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello,
Having read the rules for submitting an article, I am unable to see what rule(s) the submission is breaking.
Your note "This is still an advertisement and as had already been mention, one outlet of a larger franchise hardly seems notable. It is also unreferenced and therefore the content cannot be verified.", seems to ignore the fact that this goes against the same things that get approved all the time. If you do a search for any music artist who has redone the same song I.e Shannon Noll 'what about me'. This song was originally done by another artist and really if your reasoning is to carry merit, the only the original should be allowed to be listed. Mentioning any cd of any artist, any movie title under an individual heading, and album cover etc is more so advertising to what the entry I have submitted. This has been allowed on many hundreds of Wikipedia articles.
You mention about sources of information. I previously had sources and was told that because of them it read as an advertisement, now you are saying it needs them in order to be possible as an article. I removed all content that read as an advertisement and you are still saying it does. Nothing in the entry states anything not related to the business or what the business is known for. Previously it did, but after the last submission that stuff was removed.
Hello,
You said the article Pervasive PSQL had been tagged for deletion so that I could move in my article. But that is my article. It was not accepted because it was considered the same subject as Btrieve. I don't want it deleted; I want it included in Wikipedia.
Sorry, this is my first article and I'm having trouble navigating through all the currents of Wikipedia. Handworks ( talk) 13:57, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your post on my talk page . I am surely looking forward in taking necessary action while accepting or declining articles. I surely understand it.I assure you i will take more care while reviewing articles on AFC space.But as some of the articles lacks so much content i am declining them on my point of view and will take more care while accepting submissions like this.I have also noticed so many people writing down articles about unnoticeable persons and sometimes articles about them selves. I am also declining those articles.
Thanking you,

The reason for accepting article is It had enough references . It clearly talks about a notable band and i am very much sure about it .and also i believe it might be surely written from a neutral point of view . Still article needs content and lacks very much information .Any user in future might edit it with more information.Its good to have some thing , Its Better than nothing.The article about the band is not listed any where in Wikipedia .Do u think that this article must be declined ?. Well If so may i know the reason . Do you think that articles that i am accepting and declining are not trustworthy ? .If this is so you can clearly ask me to get out of AFC section. I thought of spending some time over here on Wikipedia as now i am in my summer vacations .As far as i am concerned i am only 14 years old. If you could give me any necessary suggestions about accepting and declining Articles.I would be very much grateful to you

Thanks for rejecting my article, which has been rejected numerous of bloody times although I have done my best to make sure it's a proper encylopaedic article. Just... thanks. All of you mods know how to kill hopes instead of helping. Borderings ( talk) 17:31, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
And one thing which makes me so upset is that you rejected my article just because of one or two terms which you claimed wasn't neutral. Then you could have at least let the article be accepted, then notify me of the mistake I made. Do you know how tiring it is to keep submitting over and over again and experience this rejection countless times, and having the moderators change their stories all the time? The last moderator didn't say ANYTHING about the neutrality of the article, it's like everything always changes, always finding something to pick at and all I want is this album to deserve some recognition, which it does.

Hi, I've noticed that you declined article about Mehran Tavakoli Keshe ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Mehran_Tavakoli_Keshe), so I would like to ask - is it a patent published at European Patent Office not a reliable source? Jakec10 ( talk) 00:44, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
1. I neutralized one sentence, but would be interested in finding out which content in specific is under "dispute" so I can try to make it more neutral. 2. There is a note that the article is an "orphan" due to a lack of links. However, there were 6 Wiki links already in the article. In any case I will attempt to additional ones. 3. When I created the article, I used the term "Neoweb" which is actually a mistake, since the legal trademark is for PRS-Neoweb (as used properly in the body of the article). Can you please assist me in changing the actual article name so as to avoid legal complications. Thanks in advance for your assistance to inexperienced editors.

Hello! I selected a couple adopter names that resonated well with me to see if someone could mentor a new editor already going through RFC/U. There is disagreement whether the editor's admitted bad habit of not handling disputes well is reformable or irreformable. It appeared the next step was for an outside entrant (me) on the "pro" !side to see if a neutral mentor can be found agreeable to all parties. It would be understood that if two other editors objected to the mentee's edits as, say, personal attacks, the mentee and the objectors (e.g., those from the "irreformable" !side) would give you the power to make a judgment to strike or not to strike. The editor in question is User:Agent00f and the topic area is mixed martial arts, though he has expressed willingness to demonstrate constructive edits to other topic areas. You can see some of the hot pages in my edit history, but I'll watch for replies here for a bit. Thank you for your consideration. JJB 19:34, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello Pol430. WT:Articles for creation/Geordie Stewart has been improved since you declined it at AfC. Could you take a look and see if your opinion has changed? The article by the BBC and the one in the Daily Mail appear to confirm that this climbing achievement is valid. Since the article now appears to have acceptable references this is no longer an unsourced BLP article. The Discovery Channel announced they would have a segment on him May 17, which presumably has aired now. EdJohnston ( talk) 02:26, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey all :). A notification that the prototype for the New Pages Feed is now live on enwiki! We had to briefly take it down after an unfortunate bug started showing up, but it's now live and we will continue developing it on-site.
The page can be found at Special:NewPagesFeed. Please, please, please test it and tell us what you think! Note that as a prototype it will inevitably have bugs - if you find one not already mentioned at the talkpage, bring it up and I'm happy to carry it through to the devs. The same is true of any additions you can think of to the software, or any questions you might have - let me know and I'll respond.

I looked into changing my username, and though I submitted a request, it seems to be a long process. So, I created a new account.

Dear Pol430: Your rejection was too purely emotional, strident and venomous to be independent and impartial.

I doubt very much that retaining this article will help ongoing MMA debate reach a conclusion the whole wiki-community could accept.

If so, could you please tell me if I did anything wrong here? I declined a submission as non-notable (I was on a a phone at that time) and I might have erred in doing so - the article's notability was established. But I ended up receiving a gross personal attack which made me very upset. I tried to stay calm and sort things out with the user. If you have two minutes, can you please review my actions and see if I have done anything out of line here? This is not the first time I have been attacked by someone because I declined their submission. → B music ian 02:01, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

1. I neutralized one sentence, but would be interested in finding out which content in specific is under "dispute" so I can try to make it more neutral. 2. There is a note that the article is an "orphan" due to a lack of links. However, there were 6 Wiki links already in the article. In any case I will attempt to additional ones. 3. When I created the article, I used the term "Neoweb" which is actually a mistake, since the legal trademark is for PRS-Neoweb (as used properly in the body of the article). Can you please assist me in changing the actual article name so as to avoid legal complications. Thanks in advance for your assistance to inexperienced editors.

Hello! I selected a couple adopter names that resonated well with me to see if someone could mentor a new editor already going through RFC/U. There is disagreement whether the editor's admitted bad habit of not handling disputes well is reformable or irreformable. It appeared the next step was for an outside entrant (me) on the "pro" !side to see if a neutral mentor can be found agreeable to all parties. It would be understood that if two other editors objected to the mentee's edits as, say, personal attacks, the mentee and the objectors (e.g., those from the "irreformable" !side) would give you the power to make a judgment to strike or not to strike. The editor in question is User:Agent00f and the topic area is mixed martial arts, though he has expressed willingness to demonstrate constructive edits to other topic areas. You can see some of the hot pages in my edit history, but I'll watch for replies here for a bit. Thank you for your consideration. JJB 19:34, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello Pol430. WT:Articles for creation/Geordie Stewart has been improved since you declined it at AfC. Could you take a look and see if your opinion has changed? The article by the BBC and the one in the Daily Mail appear to confirm that this climbing achievement is valid. Since the article now appears to have acceptable references this is no longer an unsourced BLP article. The Discovery Channel announced they would have a segment on him May 17, which presumably has aired now. EdJohnston ( talk) 02:26, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback. Which claims do I need to source in more detail in order for my article to be published? If there are certain sentences you had issue with, I'd gladly source them and re-submit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gjh1588 ( talk • contribs) 15:46, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
I've sourced the article with more independent sources and made further edits to improve upon notability. I hope this helps, and I look forward to publishing the article. Thanks again! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gjh1588 ( talk • contribs) 15:28, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey all :). A notification that the prototype for the New Pages Feed is now live on enwiki! We had to briefly take it down after an unfortunate bug started showing up, but it's now live and we will continue developing it on-site.
The page can be found at Special:NewPagesFeed. Please, please, please test it and tell us what you think! Note that as a prototype it will inevitably have bugs - if you find one not already mentioned at the talkpage, bring it up and I'm happy to carry it through to the devs. The same is true of any additions you can think of to the software, or any questions you might have - let me know and I'll respond.
Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 13:18, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I saw from your contributions that you are really involved in AfC. You are doing amazing work! Its an wonderful example for any editor who is new at AfC. Keep it up :) → TheSpecialUser Talk Contributions* 17:16, 23 May 2012 (UTC) |
Still waiting to hear back from you on whether or not my page will be created. Please respond... — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChiWhiteMetal ( talk • contribs) 15:48, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the info... The company history is internal, therefor it's not copyrighted. I will look into more legitimate sources and try again. Again, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChiWhiteMetal ( talk • contribs) 14:22, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
Thank you! I truly appreciate it. I will figure out how to change my username (I changed my "signature" but that didn't seem to work). I will also talk to my boss to see which route is best for our situation. You obviously know what you're doing and I apprecaite you dealing with me during this (more difficult than I thought) process. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChiWhiteMetal ( talk • contribs) 12:18, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
I looked into changing my username, and though I submitted a request, it seems to be a long process. So, I created a new account. My new name is dj_jaco_10, but I'm not sure how I can access the information to edit, can it just be moved into this new account? Anyways, I am in the process of writing the email for permission, so that should be done soon. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dj jaco 10 ( talk • contribs) 12:51, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
I'll get rid of the other one in order to keep this one. Anyways, I submitted the copyright info yesterday, so we should be set on that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChiWhiteMetal ( talk • contribs) 14:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Do you know if there's been any progress on this page? Still hasn't been created, but I really haven't heard anything from Wikipedia in a while regarding it. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dj jaco 10 ( talk • contribs) 17:57, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Ugh, what is the best way to make it "notable"? I donated my copywritten content, I updated my sources, and deleted my other account because of the name. What else can I do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dj jaco 10 ( talk • contribs) 17:52, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Dear Pol430: Your rejection was too purely emotional, strident and venomous to be independent and impartial. It evidences that you probably either have a personal animosity against or aversion to Clark or a passionate dependence upon empire for your own sense of security and safety. Would you ask yourself to consider a COI declaration?-- Evarose3 ( talk) 18:16, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I doubt very much that retaining this article will help ongoing MMA debate reach a conclusion the whole wiki-community could accept. The MMA fans have made their position clear, nothing short of an article for every MMA event is going to be acceptable, in fact retaining it give them an insensitive to continue to filibuster.

In the future I'll be sure to move the article as suggested. Is there a good way to remedy this for the article in question, or has it already been fixed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supaiku ( talk • contribs) 09:55, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

If so, could you please tell me if I did anything wrong here? I declined a submission as non-notable (I was on a a phone at that time) and I might have erred in doing so - the article's notability was established. But I ended up receiving a gross personal attack which made me very upset. I tried to stay calm and sort things out with the user. If you have two minutes, can you please review my actions and see if I have done anything out of line here? This is not the first time I have been attacked by someone because I declined their submission. → B music ian 02:01, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
