Hi Bradv. A few days ago I started the page, Francis T. McAndrew as part of an effort to add notable Knox College faculty to Wikipedia. See also my other article on Robert Hellenga. I wrote the article with publicly available information and included several sources. You pointed out the the sources were insufficient, which I agree is a valid criticism. Around this time, Dr. McAndrew himself visited the page and added a bunch of sources (maybe too many?!). He did this under his own name without trying to hide behind an anonymous account. Other than adding sources, I don't believe he changed the article in any other way-- yet you then put an autobiographical label on it (and still insufficient sources!). Since I put together the original article, I would like to resolve this and make it a useful and valuable contribution to the website. I believe we are all acting in good faith. How can we work together to fix the issues you have identified? What would you like to add or remove or change in the article? I respectfully await your reply. -- Jcbutler ( talk) 15:45, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
OK, I will see if I can find better, more verifiable sources. Thanks. -- Jcbutler ( talk) 16:02, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

How do we decide what is "constructive," as you say? I take it you mean that the inclusion of the quote is not flattering to the subject of that article, and so in your opinion the quote should not be included because you want the subject of that article to be portrayed in a favorable light.

Hello, Bradv. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.

Hi - I'm the editor who restored the DeAndre Brackensick article. The reason why I didn't take the matter to WP:Deletion Review is because that forum is specifically for instances in which an editor feels that the consensus of a deletion review was incorrectly interpreted by the closing administrator. I don't have any issue with how the administrator handled things, because (as I stated on Brackensick's talk page) the consensus was quite clearly in favor of a redirect, based on the conversation that took place. Rather, I disagree with the consensus itself, as I feel that it was based on faulty information. WP:DRVPURPOSE states that Deletion Review "should not be used because of a disagreement with the deletion discussion's outcome that does not involve the closer's judgment", so I wasn't exactly sure how to best proceed. According to WP:Redirects for Discussion, editors who "want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article" should just Be Bold and do it. I wasn't exactly sure whether that applied to articles that had been redirected after an AfD, but I didn't see any further policies or guidelines on the matter. So I thought that leaving a message on Talk:DeAndre Brackensick would suffice. If anyone was watching the article and opposed the decision, they could then contact me. I can see though, how at least notifying the closing administrator would be a good idea. I'll go ahead and do that now. -- Jpcase ( talk) 15:35, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi Bradv, Thanks for the message. I'm trying to create an article about American Mastering Engineer Dave Cooley, and was trying to adhere to guidelines but I think I may be missing some details. I've gathered a few external links to outside sources now and was going to attempt to create the article anew. Is there anything else I should make sure to do? I've read over the guidelines a few times and believe myself to be adhering to them, but I didn't know if you knew any other reason that the previous article I created was taken down. Thanks JJolliff ( talk) 17:40, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Brad Stated: I don't believe this link adds anything to the quality of the article, and therefore should be avoided. Generally, if the addition of a link improves the article it can be added. If it instead improves the reputation of the external website, or attempts to drive traffic to that site, it should not be added. See WP:REFSPAM for more information on external links.

Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book and claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media are largely not acceptable. Self-published books and newsletters, personal pages on social networking sites, tweets, and posts on Internet forums are all examples of self-published media.
Why did you remove my last comment. I asked you why you're making assumptions like this. I said that guy is not me. And to stop making assumptions and bad conclusions on the site and myself. Maybe in the future you won't be so quick to stomp out updates, sites, or people...without doing research first.

Well done on closing the Move request discussion, and doing the page move. We need editors who are prepared to be bold, and are ready to take on such tasks. As you have page mover rights there are some things you should now be doing. When moving a page there is a box marked "Move subpages (up to 100)", this should generally be ticked so that associated subpages, such as talkpage archives, are also moved, otherwise they get lost. Also, when moving an existing disambiguation page to an article page, a hatnote should be placed on the article to direct readers to the new location for the disambiguation pages. This is all part of the paperwork, and if left undone can cause problems. They are not tasks to be left for others to do, as others may not be aware they need to be done. If you're unsure how to do a hatnote (and they can be tricky), or any other editing function, you can ask someone via the Help page linked on the left of every page, or you can ask me. Keep up the good work! SilkTork ✔Tea time 01:20, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

I am not associated to this brand at all. I have written this article since people used to find about this brand on Wikipedia, and i think wikipedia is a place where u can get knowledge about everything of this world. i don't think it creates any problem for viewers on wiki.

Why is one piece of science (the work of prof Belpomme) not acceptable? With a complete reference? There is other work which shows the same results. Why would a generally accessible resource such as an online dictionary not include something like this? It is five years old.
Statements in the official Wiki entry that the EHS "are like the hermits of ancient times, and only want to get away from modern society" are not scientific – and certainly no one claims that this is why they are living away from radiation. There is not even any psychological evidence; it lives in the imagination of the psychologist/s - in other words, they have made it up! This is not what I would call mainstream or conservative science, it is not even science, it is simply a very subjective 'idea' that is based on nothing ISB22 ( talk) 17:10, 11 December 2016 (UTC) at all. Compared to the material I have offered it is way outside of your very own parameters.
I would like to see the paragraphs on EHS as a psychological illness deleted. The psychologists who have made such diagnoses have not done so based on mainstream science – this is not possible, as psychology itself is not a mainstream science.
The entry is generally much better, but it still has a way to go before it resembles a balanced picture of reality.

Hello Bradv, On December 10, after reviewing the submission of the article for the French international research association MAGE you left a comment, noting that "the submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability." The list of references includes:
Could you, please, be more specific about the issue with these references? English Wikipedia has pages for similar research associations which sometimes have only one reference, and for some of them the link does not work. See, for example, International Society for Comparative Adult Education. There are also pages, for example, Society for Medieval Feminist Scholarship, where besides two volumes, the three other references are direct links to associated websites; or Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women which has similar image for the references.
If you can, please, give us a more specific explanation. This will permit us to better review and submit an article that corresponds the standards and expectations of Wikipedia and its readers. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magetgs ( talk • contribs) 13:45, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!
In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact L235 if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity. Remove your name from here to unsubscribe from further EotW-related messages.

Hello Bradv, I do not agree with your evaluation, in
the talk page we provided enough sources to prove that rename is really needed (according to wiki policies). There where few opponents whose argument were answered with contra arguments, and some of them claimed about Georgian Government politics without any proof. Majority of the users - 7 of them (including me) have supported rename against 4 opposers. So your words the data presented has been insufficient to convince the majority of editors

On the issue of the notability of Jill Martin:
Jill Martin's name is mentioned in the following literary sources:
West End Broadway: The Golden Age of American Musical in London, by Adrian Wright
Broadway Musicals, 1943-2004, by John Stewart
The Oxford Handbook of Sondheim Studies, edited by Robert Gordon
Obscure Recordings: Music for Pleasure, article by Ken Mandelbaum, 7 October 2005
Jill Martin was, in the Music for Pleasure article, referred to as an West End regular.
Jill Martin played one of the main roles in the first West End Production of My Fair Lady and West Side Story alongside David Holliday and Robert Jeffrey. Her West End career spanned more than 40 years. Her name is referred to in many of the uk wikipedia articles on David Holliday, Robert Jeffrey, West Side Story, and she is in some instances confused with the much younger american TV personality of the same name. Jill Martin's notability is due to her contributions to the West End musical theatre productions since 1958, when she was casted by Hugh Binkie Beaumont who was the powerful chief executive of HM Tennent production company.
Saraiki, This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the title Saraiki which are; Saraiki dialect, Saraiki people, Saraiki culture, Saraiki dialect (Sindhi), Saraiki literature, Saraiki music, Saraiki diaspora, Saraikistan Movement and List of Saraiki tribes. Move to Saraiki from Saraiki dialect will be a very silly decision.
Majority of verifiable Sources are saying Saraiki is a dialect.

Move to Saraiki Language from Saraiki dialect will be even worse decision . If you analyse LanguageXpert sock file and IP sock series 39..... Apparently uninvolved users Kautilya3 and Kashmiri are actually involved users. Both see Saraiki dialect as a revenge plate forum against LX.

Hi, regarding the close at Talk:Mary_Anne_MacLeod_Trump#Requested_move_26_November_2016, that looks like a good judicious close, given that not much evidence was available to back up the support case, so well done. One thing I would say though, it looks like it was a "no consensus", wherease your bold text says "not moved". This may seem a technicality, as the outcome is the same, but per WP:RMCI#Three possible outcomes, it's usually best to explicitly state in the bold text that it is a no consensus close, rather than "not moved", which usually means "consensus not to move". Thanks! — Amakuru ( talk) 10:57, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bradv. A few days ago I started the page, Francis T. McAndrew as part of an effort to add notable Knox College faculty to Wikipedia. See also my other article on Robert Hellenga. I wrote the article with publicly available information and included several sources. You pointed out the the sources were insufficient, which I agree is a valid criticism. Around this time, Dr. McAndrew himself visited the page and added a bunch of sources (maybe too many?!). He did this under his own name without trying to hide behind an anonymous account. Other than adding sources, I don't believe he changed the article in any other way-- yet you then put an autobiographical label on it (and still insufficient sources!). Since I put together the original article, I would like to resolve this and make it a useful and valuable contribution to the website. I believe we are all acting in good faith. How can we work together to fix the issues you have identified? What would you like to add or remove or change in the article? I respectfully await your reply. -- Jcbutler ( talk) 15:45, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
OK, I will see if I can find better, more verifiable sources. Thanks. -- Jcbutler ( talk) 16:02, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.

Hi - I'm the editor who restored the DeAndre Brackensick article. The reason why I didn't take the matter to WP:Deletion Review is because that forum is specifically for instances in which an editor feels that the consensus of a deletion review was incorrectly interpreted by the closing administrator. I don't have any issue with how the administrator handled things, because (as I stated on Brackensick's talk page) the consensus was quite clearly in favor of a redirect, based on the conversation that took place. Rather, I disagree with the consensus itself, as I feel that it was based on faulty information. WP:DRVPURPOSE states that Deletion Review "should not be used because of a disagreement with the deletion discussion's outcome that does not involve the closer's judgment", so I wasn't exactly sure how to best proceed. According to WP:Redirects for Discussion, editors who "want to replace an unprotected redirect with an article" should just Be Bold and do it. I wasn't exactly sure whether that applied to articles that had been redirected after an AfD, but I didn't see any further policies or guidelines on the matter. So I thought that leaving a message on Talk:DeAndre Brackensick would suffice. If anyone was watching the article and opposed the decision, they could then contact me. I can see though, how at least notifying the closing administrator would be a good idea. I'll go ahead and do that now. -- Jpcase ( talk) 15:35, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book and claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media are largely not acceptable. Self-published books and newsletters, personal pages on social networking sites, tweets, and posts on Internet forums are all examples of self-published media.
Why did you remove my last comment. I asked you why you're making assumptions like this. I said that guy is not me. And to stop making assumptions and bad conclusions on the site and myself.

Well done on closing the Move request discussion, and doing the page move. We need editors who are prepared to be bold, and are ready to take on such tasks. As you have page mover rights there are some things you should now be doing. When moving a page there is a box marked "Move subpages (up to 100)", this should generally be ticked so that associated subpages, such as talkpage archives, are also moved, otherwise they get lost. Also, when moving an existing disambiguation page to an article page, a hatnote should be placed on the article to direct readers to the new location for the disambiguation pages. This is all part of the paperwork, and if left undone can cause problems. They are not tasks to be left for others to do, as others may not be aware they need to be done. If you're unsure how to do a hatnote (and they can be tricky), or any other editing function, you can ask someone via the Help page linked on the left of every page, or you can ask me.

Why is one piece of science (the work of prof Belpomme) not acceptable? With a complete reference? There is other work which shows the same results. Why would a generally accessible resource such as an online dictionary not include something like this? It is five years old.
Statements in the official Wiki entry that the EHS "are like the hermits of ancient times, and only want to get away from modern society" are not scientific – and certainly no one claims that this is why they are living away from radiation. There is not even any psychological evidence; it lives in the imagination of the psychologist/s - in other words, they have made it up! This is not what I would call mainstream or conservative science, it is not even science, it is simply a very subjective 'idea' that is based on nothing ISB22 ( talk) 17:10, 11 December 2016 (UTC) at all. Compared to the material I have offered it is way outside of your very own parameters.
I would like to see the paragraphs on EHS as a psychological illness deleted. The psychologists who have made such diagnoses have not done so based on mainstream science – this is not possible, as psychology itself is not a mainstream science.
The entry is generally much better, but it still has a way to go before it resembles a balanced picture of reality.

Hello Bradv, On December 10, after reviewing the submission of the article for the French international research association MAGE you left a comment, noting that "the submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability." The list of references includes:
Could you, please, be more specific about the issue with these references? English Wikipedia has pages for similar research associations which sometimes have only one reference, and for some of them the link does not work. See, for example, International Society for Comparative Adult Education. There are also pages, for example, Society for Medieval Feminist Scholarship, where besides two volumes, the three other references are direct links to associated websites; or Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women which has similar image for the references.

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!
In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact L235 if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity. Remove your name from here to unsubscribe from further EotW-related messages.

Hello Bradv, I do not agree with your evaluation, in
the talk page we provided enough sources to prove that rename is really needed (according to wiki policies). There where few opponents whose argument were answered with contra arguments, and some of them claimed about Georgian Government politics without any proof. Majority of the users - 7 of them (including me) have supported rename against 4 opposers. So your words the data presented has been insufficient to convince the majority of editors

On the issue of the notability of Jill Martin:
Jill Martin's name is mentioned in the following literary sources:
West End Broadway: The Golden Age of American Musical in London, by Adrian Wright
Broadway Musicals, 1943-2004, by John Stewart
The Oxford Handbook of Sondheim Studies, edited by Robert Gordon
Obscure Recordings: Music for Pleasure, article by Ken Mandelbaum, 7 October 2005
Jill Martin was, in the Music for Pleasure article, referred to as an West End regular.
Jill Martin played one of the main roles in the first West End Production of My Fair Lady and West Side Story alongside David Holliday and Robert Jeffrey. Her West End career spanned more than 40 years. Her name is referred to in many of the uk wikipedia articles on David Holliday, Robert Jeffrey, West Side Story, and she is in some instances confused with the much younger american TV personality of the same name. Jill Martin's notability is due to her contributions to the West End musical theatre productions since 1958, when she was casted by Hugh Binkie Beaumont who was the powerful chief executive of HM Tennent production company.

The MSP (Modern Standard Punjabi) declension ....Other varieties have similar pattern...Dogri...Shahpuri...Pothohari...Hindko and Saraiki ... [31], Page 584. Map 16.1 Punjabi area map.............Saraiki ........ [32]
Move to Saraiki Language from Saraiki dialect will be even worse decision . If you analyse LanguageXpert sock file and IP sock series 39..... Apparently uninvolved users Kautilya3 and Kashmiri are actually involved users. Both see Saraiki dialect as a revenge plate forum against LX. They had verbal abuses with each other at some point in time. so Biased voting without reading the sources have zero weight. Only sources should decide the title. Sources say it is a dialect/variant. 182.188.99.212 ( talk) 17:18, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
I have redone the swap you have reverted, of Talk:Seraiki people and Talk:Saraiki people. Thank you for telling me! GeoffreyT2000 ( talk, contribs) 18:43, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi, regarding the close at Talk:Mary_Anne_MacLeod_Trump#Requested_move_26_November_2016, that looks like a good judicious close, given that not much evidence was available to back up the support case, so well done. One thing I would say though, it looks like it was a "no consensus", wherease your bold text says "not moved". This may seem a technicality, as the outcome is the same, but per WP:RMCI#Three possible outcomes, it's usually best to explicitly state in the bold text that it is a no consensus close, rather than "not moved", which usually means "consensus not to move". Thanks! — Amakuru ( talk) 10:57, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
