Hello Oliver,
Thank you so much for reviewing the page I created for Khaldoun Almhanna. The tag suggested that the article may need editing, more in-depth citations, or even complete reorganization. Would you be willing to provide me with specific feedback about how I can improve the article? I'm a new editor, so I appreciate any criticism that will help me improve my wiki-writing skills. Thank you so much for considering, Jcmeberhard ( talk) 15:38, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
Other than that, it's a really good article; one any editor would be proud of, be they new or old :). No objection to the references - in fact, it's rare to find a new article that has such great referencing. Ironholds ( talk) 15:54, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! Your points regarding writing convention standards (capitalization, titles, and order of information) are incredibly helpful because I knew I was probably off, but didn't know where to go in order to learn those conventions. Also, thanks for the positive feedback because I've had a couple articles nominated for deletion based on citation disputes, even after receiving a review from the biography and medical groups. I'm still learning about what is appropriate and expected in living persons articles, and often feel I'm failing. So, thanks for being so helpful and supportive. Hopefully I'll continue to improve,

Mishae, are you suggesting I use a "further reading" category instead of "selected bibliography?" I do cite most of the items in the selected bib in the article, however, they are already listed in notes as references. The selected bib section was meant for medical readers who may want to easily copy the list in order to go look up the physician's work after reading the article.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Caleb Evans, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Relief map ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Ironholds,
In June you added a "may be too technical" tag to this article. I just made some changes to the text - can you please look it over and let me know if my changes have adequately addressed the "too technical" issue?
Thanks! Braedon Farr ( talk) 17:37, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure how helpful picking specific elements out is going to be for you (let me know if it is/isn't) but hopefully you get the general tack, here: it feels like the prose is unnecessarily complex. A lot of the article, actually, is very good - although I have some thoughts around the tone used, which I'm happy to discuss after/as well as the technical issue. Hope this helps :). Regards, Ironholds ( talk) 22:09, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
I see from this that you are still occasionally popping in on that page so I assume you still have it on your watchlist. I don't think anyone really knows if you are still officially coordinating that project or not as well as your other tasks, and whether anyone is following up on the issues that are reported there. Otherwise there is little point in continuing the page which could be blanked leaving a simple message for people to address their issues directly to Bugzilla - not that, by all accounts, it would help much either.

Hi its me again. I'm confused about barnstars, someone gave me a Photographer's barnstar even though that I didn't took a single shot! Check my talkpage. My main question is; is it O.K. for a user to give someone an award for something that a user didn't do? Such as my case here...-- Mishae ( talk) 03:33, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Hey sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place... I honestly haven't made too many edits and am not 100% familiar with all the protocols. But anyway, I disagree with your reasoning for deleting, again, the page on Brock Zanrosso. The WP:MUSIC, says that if he has one or placed in a major music competition, that being the Canadian show The Nest Star where he placed second in 2009, they can have a page. His music has also been on at least the billboard emerging musician charts as well as played in hundreds of abercrombie stores around the country. And the musician criteria indicates only one of those points needs to be met. I honestly can provide these sources I just hadn't gotten around to finish it just yet and was not expecting it to be deleted again before I had the chance to do so. He is clearly not the most well known musician ever, but he does, in my opinion meet the criteria I listed above and I am sure when I finish working on it I will be able to source more criteria. I am hoping you'll undo your change and allow me to try and finish the article... I figured it was a minor article that I could work on without much trouble. I would reverse it myself but I don't want to start a fight or anything like that. Hope you understand,

One of the users on my talkpage issued a concern that I welcomed him with an outdated version of a template. I personally don't see a difference between the new and the old one (aside from more colour in the new ones). I explained to the user that its no big deal, and even added Assume good faith policy link to the already not bad welcome. Can you explain to me what does he mean by old version (mine was of 2009) and the new ones? Thanks.-- Mishae ( talk) 03:33, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Is there any need for additional reference , because the whole article is an outline for pointing to other Wikipedia articles regarding Karnataka and some sections are referenced where it was needed (hope so), if not could you please point out the sections where references are need and I will add it.

Hi. I put Siletzia up for GA review, but there's a shortage of reviewers. Would you be interested in doing this? ~ J. Johnson (JJ) ( talk) 22:51, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I am still confused about what should I display on my userpage regarding the awards. You see, I understand that getting an award from an admin or just a user who was here for more then 6 months its one thing, but getting a trophy or a barnstar from a new user its different. Like for example: One of the users awarded me with barnstar of Guidance, am I allowed to display it on my userpage, or its ment for something else other then welcome? Like, I did gave him instructions with a welcome so I guess I earned it, but still woulk like to know your opinion on it. Also, if a new user gives you the Teamwork barnstar am I allowed to display it on my userpage? Like, I definitely have one for a reason (the first one), but I am still unsure about the rest. Many thanks for hopefully clearing my mind.-- Mishae ( talk) 13:50, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I think I bother you enough today, but can you explain to me the criteria of notability for animators? You see, I wrote this article and it says that he was a lead animator only in one film and no awards or anything, is he still considered notable?-- Mishae ( talk) 00:34, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi Oliver,
I'm writing my first article on a neurologist and would like to know, how much they are notable to Wikipedia? There is approximately 10 neurologists per clinic and they all have PhDs and MDs. However, there is a category on American neurologists that I am aware about, so I guess every neurologist is notable. Your thoughts?-- Mishae ( talk) 19:30, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your thanks. I regret that I contributed the story about Denning's alleged bias in the UPW case entirely from memory. I suspect that the source is Denning's "The Discipline of Law" , but I have not had the time to check whether it was that or a later book. Feel free in the interim to add a "citation needed". Cheers.

I stumbled across Pimp tenure while having a pleasant evening reading about feudal tenure (don't ask) and... have my doubts. It looks like three incidental mentions, at least one of which may be a transcription error, conflated into a formally defined type of feudal duty with a deliberately anachronistic names. Any ideas?

I stumbled upon Content Analyst Company and see that the article mentions the KMWorld Magazine's awards a lot. Both as a honor and as a references. As i understands it, so is the "KM World Magazine's '100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management 20xx" something that is issued to every company that pays for a booth at one of the Information Today Inc ( the owners of KMWorld Magazine's ) trade show.
I think this is a little fishy, and the "award" is basically a self published source. Does Wikipedia have any polesyst regarding this?

...Just today, a user have thanked me for writing a biography on her (a user is apparently notable), and gave me a Tireless Contributor barnstar, though I like it, I am still confused; Am I allowed to display it, considering that the current barnstar is probably given to people who write zillions of stubs (i.e. One that was awarded to me by Nortrhamerica1000 back in 2011 for creating many articles related to biology)... If I am wrong, let me know (I personally don't know which barnstar is awarded to users who create a special article (not to mention that all articles are special nevertheless)) :).-- Mishae ( talk) 05:48, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, You added a "multiple citation issues"-template to Olafia. I have now made in-line citations in the two sections that were not explicitly referenced, although it actually feels rather overdone to have to reference a single sentence if the source is the same as already referenced in the lead. I'd say referencing in many Wiki-articles is already much more detailed than in your average scientific article. I have now changed the "multiple citation issues"-template to "unclear citation style". However, I remain unclear about what you find unclear in the citation style. It seems to me this style is commonly used. So I seek your guidance in this: please explain how you would like the citation. Kind regards, Dwergenpaartje ( talk) 11:46, 12 November 2013 (UTC).

i wonder if you could lead me to where should I request undeletion of the article . i spent a lot of time adding sources. the klyosov study was referenced in rozhadinii speaking of same topic, which makes klyosov study not primary research. both studies are used as master refrences for isogg. which make both studies reliable. many studies cited the two studies as when googling the study title and find cited by number of articles immediately . plus many other studies I did not see fit to mention since they were critical and in new chronology, making me wonder why should i add antithesis to the article I mentioned all that in the discussion but obviously was ignored and was gien lectures about my using notable word even though i used it to refer to notability wiki policy guideline. both articles are published in Proceedings of the russian academy of dna genealogy, which has issn and oclc but I forgot to put them thinking doi number suffice. also many articles studies referenced both articles klyosov 2009, and rozhadinii as immediately shown with googling where the study show cited by number articles. I also had a list of articles that referenced and cited the klyosov studies and also mentioned the abraham mh in their studies. i was not aware of 7 days only for discussion. So I am an old man, and i got lost in reading were in the world to request undelete procedure. may be you can help thanx. Viibird ( talk) 12:06, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you tagged Gustaf Troedsson as unreferenced. The page is a translation of the Swedish wiki article. The Swedish article has references, but these are not online and I have not read these sources. What would you have me do? Kind regards, Dwergenpaartje ( talk) 21:08, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, And another question. I link very often to the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (I have a copy back home, and although many parts are outdated, it is the only comprehensive in-depth source on fossils). Looking at that page it struck me that it was tagged "lacking in-line citations". So I started making in-line citations. Every consecutive line to an other page of the same website. I stopped at 38 with 22 more to go. It just seemed ridiculous all of a sudden. How could I deal with this? Thanks in advance, Dwergenpaartje ( talk) 21:20, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

You tagged this page "fancruft", which another editor changed to "fan point of view". It *did* kind of have a fan point of view, in part due to the fact that most of the sources I used for info were blogged review/interview type sources written by people who were fans...and also because I myself am somewhat of a fan. I've tried to clean things up a bit, removing info that seemed too obscure or insufficiently supported, fixing broken links, adding support for more generic biography stuff. I've also put some relevant info on the talk page. Could you take another look at the page and clarify if your concern has been met? I'm *guessing* that I might have addressed a couple sections of particular concern but I can't be sure. I don't know that I've established *notability* quite yet but I do think I have made it more NPOV and fixed a substantial part of the problem with tone that prompted you to add that tag.
(I'm a nerd-folk performer and enthusiast - I've been making/updating pages on several such performers. HTF is kind of right on the border when it comes to "notability" - I'm not arguing that here. But if you think the page still feels specifically too "fannish", could you elaborate on the talk page? Thanks!)

Is there any need for additional reference , because the whole article is an outline for pointing to other Wikipedia articles regarding Karnataka and some sections are referenced where it was needed (hope so), if not could you please point out the sections where references are need and I will add it.

Hi. I put Siletzia up for GA review, but there's a shortage of reviewers. Would you be interested in doing this? ~ J. Johnson (JJ) ( talk) 22:51, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I am still confused about what should I display on my userpage regarding the awards. You see, I understand that getting an award from an admin or just a user who was here for more then 6 months its one thing, but getting a trophy or a barnstar from a new user its different. Like for example: One of the users awarded me with barnstar of Guidance, am I allowed to display it on my userpage, or its ment for something else other then welcome? Like, I did gave him instructions with a welcome so I guess I earned it, but still woulk like to know your opinion on it. Also, if a new user gives you the Teamwork barnstar am I allowed to display it on my userpage? Like, I definitely have one for a reason (the first one), but I am still unsure about the rest. Many thanks for hopefully clearing my mind.-- Mishae ( talk) 13:50, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Allostock may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi, I think I bother you enough today, but can you explain to me the criteria of notability for animators? You see, I wrote this article and it says that he was a lead animator only in one film and no awards or anything, is he still considered notable?-- Mishae ( talk) 00:34, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi Oliver,
I'm writing my first article on a neurologist and would like to know, how much they are notable to Wikipedia? There is approximately 10 neurologists per clinic and they all have PhDs and MDs. However, there is a category on American neurologists that I am aware about, so I guess every neurologist is notable. Your thoughts?-- Mishae ( talk) 19:30, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your thanks. I regret that I contributed the story about Denning's alleged bias in the UPW case entirely from memory. I suspect that the source is Denning's "The Discipline of Law" , but I have not had the time to check whether it was that or a later book. Feel free in the interim to add a "citation needed". Cheers.

I stumbled across Pimp tenure while having a pleasant evening reading about feudal tenure (don't ask) and... have my doubts. It looks like three incidental mentions, at least one of which may be a transcription error, conflated into a formally defined type of feudal duty with a deliberately anachronistic names. Any ideas?

I stumbled upon Content Analyst Company and see that the article mentions the KMWorld Magazine's awards a lot. Both as a honor and as a references. As i understands it, so is the "KM World Magazine's '100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management 20xx" something that is issued to every company that pays for a booth at one of the Information Today Inc ( the owners of KMWorld Magazine's ) trade show.
I think this is a little fishy, and the "award" is basically a self published source. Does Wikipedia have any polesyst regarding this?

...Just today, a user have thanked me for writing a biography on her (a user is apparently notable), and gave me a Tireless Contributor barnstar, though I like it, I am still confused; Am I allowed to display it, considering that the current barnstar is probably given to people who write zillions of stubs (i.e. One that was awarded to me by Nortrhamerica1000 back in 2011 for creating many articles related to biology)... If I am wrong, let me know (I personally don't know which barnstar is awarded to users who create a special article (not to mention that all articles are special nevertheless)) :).-- Mishae ( talk) 05:48, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, You added a "multiple citation issues"-template to Olafia. I have now made in-line citations in the two sections that were not explicitly referenced, although it actually feels rather overdone to have to reference a single sentence if the source is the same as already referenced in the lead. I'd say referencing in many Wiki-articles is already much more detailed than in your average scientific article. I have now changed the "multiple citation issues"-template to "unclear citation style". However, I remain unclear about what you find unclear in the citation style. It seems to me this style is commonly used. So I seek your guidance in this: please explain how you would like the citation. Kind regards, Dwergenpaartje ( talk) 11:46, 12 November 2013 (UTC).

i wonder if you could lead me to where should I request undeletion of the article . i spent a lot of time adding sources. the klyosov study was referenced in rozhadinii speaking of same topic, which makes klyosov study not primary research. both studies are used as master refrences for isogg. which make both studies reliable. many studies cited the two studies as when googling the study title and find cited by number of articles immediately . plus many other studies I did not see fit to mention since they were critical and in new chronology, making me wonder why should i add antithesis to the article I mentioned all that in the discussion but obviously was ignored and was gien lectures about my using notable word even though i used it to refer to notability wiki policy guideline. both articles are published in Proceedings of the russian academy of dna genealogy, which has issn and oclc but I forgot to put them thinking doi number suffice. also many articles studies referenced both articles klyosov 2009, and rozhadinii as immediately shown with googling where the study show cited by number articles. I also had a list of articles that referenced and cited the klyosov studies and also mentioned the abraham mh in their studies. i was not aware of 7 days only for discussion. So I am an old man, and i got lost in reading were in the world to request undelete procedure. may be you can help thanx. Viibird ( talk) 12:06, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you tagged Gustaf Troedsson as unreferenced. The page is a translation of the Swedish wiki article. The Swedish article has references, but these are not online and I have not read these sources. What would you have me do? Kind regards, Dwergenpaartje ( talk) 21:08, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, And another question. I link very often to the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology (I have a copy back home, and although many parts are outdated, it is the only comprehensive in-depth source on fossils). Looking at that page it struck me that it was tagged "lacking in-line citations". So I started making in-line citations. Every consecutive line to an other page of the same website. I stopped at 38 with 22 more to go. It just seemed ridiculous all of a sudden. How could I deal with this? Thanks in advance, Dwergenpaartje ( talk) 21:20, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

You tagged this page "fancruft", which another editor changed to "fan point of view". It *did* kind of have a fan point of view, in part due to the fact that most of the sources I used for info were blogged review/interview type sources written by people who were fans...and also because I myself am somewhat of a fan. I've tried to clean things up a bit, removing info that seemed too obscure or insufficiently supported, fixing broken links, adding support for more generic biography stuff. I've also put some relevant info on the talk page. Could you take another look at the page and clarify if your concern has been met? I'm *guessing* that I might have addressed a couple sections of particular concern but I can't be sure. I don't know that I've established *notability* quite yet but I do think I have made it more NPOV and fixed a substantial part of the problem with tone that prompted you to add that tag.
(I'm a nerd-folk performer and enthusiast - I've been making/updating pages on several such performers. HTF is kind of right on the border when it comes to "notability" - I'm not arguing that here. But if you think the page still feels specifically too "fannish", could you elaborate on the talk page? Thanks!)
