Apologies for getting back to you, but I really do not understand your decision to decline this contribution. You indicate that I should have made it clearer as to why this was a significant person - apparently four scientific books published by respectable publishers do not suffice to make someone "significant"?? And a piece in a well-respected newspaper (obituary) is not "objective" or "independent from the person himself" (the guy was dead when this was written)?? Again, apologies to be so frank with you, but I really think that you made the wrong decision here - please revise. (I must admit that after over ten years of contributing to Wikipedia I am getting a bit fed up with these high school graduates thinking they know what an encyclopedia should look like. I know that you are investing your spare time in this, but that applies to me as well). 77.164.49.31 ( talk) 09:20, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

77.164.49.31, You have made very, very few edits to this encyclopedia, and you choose not to register an account, which in fact would accord more privileges and even more security for your identity. We do not know who you are or what your qualifications are, and your condescending tone towards one of our regular editors is clearly inappropriate. Your article has been rejected on the correct grounds that it does not meet our criteria for insertion. Cleverly is possibly without doubt a notable person, but even my extensive research has failed to reveal any 3rd party archives that provide in-depth treatment of the subject that are sufficuent to meet our criteria. Unfortunate, but true. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 10:49, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

"very few edits": has it ever occurred to you (have you ever noted) that after moving house one's IP address changes? Of course, I could have registered, but I must admit that - as a full professor in psychology - I like my privacy, i.e. no real names here. The same applies to many other wikipedia people I believe, the difference being that I did not make up some kind of fancy alias. As regards my tone being "inappropriate": well, if being frank means being inappropriate: apologies (again), but the reasoning above is quite inappropriate as well and I think that I am entitled to give people feedback on their performance - without feedback there is no learning and no improvement. Then we have your "extensive research" - did that involve non-internet sources, or are you simply exaggerating your efforts? 77.164.49.31 ( talk) 20:03, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

77.164.49.31, i am surprised that as, i presume, you have higher qualifications than high school graduate, and, "after over ten years of contributing to Wikipedia" you are unable to see that the draft as it now stands is not suitable for wikiarticle space. Cleverley was an academic, worked for a magazine, a newspaper, did some lecturing and wrote some books (amongst other things), nothing which makes him notable for inclusion in wikipedia. I suggest the article needs more reliable citations, possibly reviews of his books (although i realise that they may be difficult to find for these 'pre-internet era' publications). Coolabahapple ( talk) 07:25, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

OK, so there goes another notable character down the drain of history ... pity. It is interesting to see that the world before the start of the internet is slowly vanishing. Anyway, as regards "Cleverley was an academic, worked for a magazine, a newspaper, did some lecturing and wrote some books (amongst other things), nothing which makes him notable for inclusion in wikipedia". Interesting reasoning: I would say that would be exactly the sort of things that WOULD make someone notable for inclusion. I guess that he should have been a xx-league football player or a third-rate singer or so to be included. FYI, his books are still available (2nd hand of course) on Amazon and some even continue to be cited. Well, so much for now. Will leave Wikipedia alone for a while and yes, that will be your loss, not mine. 77.164.49.31 ( talk) 20:03, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

• It's interesting to note that in 2009 Clevery edited our Time Inc. UK article before his death. I still find it extraodinarily odd that there is hardly a mention of the man anywhere on the Internet except for entries for his books. I can understand why our psychology professor is so upset, but the onus is on him to provide sources, not us. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 13:28, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:Alan Morell ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi, I was hoping you could provide some particular insights on how I can get this page approved and published on Wikipedia.

Espang25, your draft is dripping with praise and promotional fluff. Remove all the WEASEL words and FLOWERY language (for example, "...with high-profile companies..." and "...is well known among..."). Additionally, remember that the draft is about Morell, not about his clients. Finally, please make sure that your references talk about Morell, are from reliable sources, and are not directly related to him (i.e. a press release from the company that hired him is a PRIMARY source and thus discouraged).

Burna may be a credible artist, but you have yet to demonstrate that he meets the notability requirements, specifically having significant coverage in the references. You've simply provided a handful of music videos and his entry on a list (which, to be fair, is a decent source). Please add additional independent reliable sources that discuss the subject in detail.

Haryanatourisim, just as a note, we are all volunteers here, and I'm sure kikichugirl does not appreciate constant pestering from someone wanting an immediate response. She will see your posts eventually. Please be patient. As a small note, there are still a few WEASEL words and FLOWERY language on your draft (e.g. "Misra led many significant positions...") which will need to be cleaned up for neutrality.

Why have you declined my submission ' Energising Bharat Awards : An initiative by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited? It doesn't look like an advertisement.

Danish Mehraj ( talk) 07:37, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Danish Mehraj, I can't speak to why kikichugirl declined that specific draft, as it has been deleted, but I am declining your other draft because it does read like an advertisement. You've given rather large biographies of a bunch of non-notable people, and done so in a rather promotional way ("Meet Danish Mehraj..."). There are way too many reference (what we call citation overkill) in the opening paragraphs - basically, each sentence/paragraph only needs 1-3 references. Once you trim down the awards winners (I've left more thoughts on that on the draft itself), there's really nothing there of substance. You'll definitely need more (non- PRIMARY) references of a reliable nature in the draft.

As a side note, the fact that (I'm assuming) you were nominated for this award also means you have a pretty serious Conflict of Interest, which needs to be declared on your userpage. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.  Primefac ( talk) 05:18, 2 March 2016 (UTC) ( talk page stalker)

Hi Kikichugirl, I'm wondering how I can get the article about Draft:FlowMPM approved.

"The International Project Management Association (IPMA) is the leading independent organization for the development and promotion of project management, and gathers together national associations from about 60 countries, from every continent of the world. Founded in 1965, IPMA has already been active for almost fifty years around the world developing the profession and competence of project management. " source: http://www.ipma2014.com/ipma/. IPMA has also certified more then 200,000 project management professionals worldwide. It's a reliable, independent and verifiable source.

Flow MPM is listed on the IPMA short list of of project management software. The methods encapsulated in FlowMPM is also described and praised in a book that has been approved by IPMA. The book indicates that the significance of the software. In addition to approval by IPMA, the book has a forward by IPMA member, Peter. M. Strom who "in 1983 he became the founding Dean of the Faculty of Management at the Open university of the Netherlands" and "Several times he has been awarded grants for his research in the area of project management by PMI." source: http://www.ipma2014.com/academic-and-scientific-program-committee/. The combination of IPMA approval and forward by Dr. Peter M. Storm leads me to conclude that the publication is a reliable, independent and verifiable source.

Hope you can help with advice for having this approved.

Agraduate ( talk) 21:59, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

  • Draft:Lokshahir Bashirbhai Kamruddin Momin ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The article titled Draft:Lokshahir Bashirbhai Kamruddin Momin has been declining stating "not adequatley supported by documents/ can not be verified".

1. In this regard, I would like to bring to your notice that though he has been featured in verious regional (Marathi Laungauge) newspaers... unfortunately, many of these old paper/news are not archived (and hence not available online as ePapers). Few latest covered news items are mentioned in references. However, some of the older articles/coverage has been cut & maintained and can be scanned/ shared with you, if required.
2. Further, please note that the as an important & popular poet with 4 decades of active contribution in enriching the Tamasha art/ theater - his life & literature was chosen for Ph.D. thesis at renowned Pune University. The Ph.D. thesis itself is based on verified details/documents etc.

Link for the Ph.D. thesis was posted in reference links.

Accordingly, request your advise on way forward and how would you prefer to verify.

It is perfectly acceptable to use offline sources for references. Please see WP:REFB (particularly section 3.1) for more information about adding references. It looks like the reason your draft was declined was because you hardly give any sources. Biographies of living persons require facts found in the text to be referenced with inline citations (again, see REFB for info). Without references your draft has zero chance of being accepted. Finding and adding references is the absolute priority. If you can't find a source to verify a claim, remove it.

Re: /info/en/?search=Draft:Inspire_%28company%29 Dear Kikichugirl, thanks for your June 2, 2016 review. You wrote, "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies."

Could you point me to the "materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed" that you referenced?

In a prior submission, a reviewer questioned whether the company Inspire was noteworthy enough for inclusion. I had tried to follow earlier guidance to stick to just-the-facts, neutral language. I included a reference about Inspire in this most recent submission from a Mayo Clinic cardiologist who is known nationally. I included cited references to Inspire's work--presented at medical meetings--with Novartis and GSK, two of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. It is information like this I believe demonstrates the noteworthiness of Inspire, without peacock terms. I cited an NPR story that described how lung cancer patients on Inspire self-organized to literally change a specific national cancer treatment guideline -- again, something I believe is noteworthy, and described in a neutral tone with a link to the NPR piece.

As I wrote earlier to a reviewer, I have identified approved Wikipedia entries of competitors of Inspire and I have tried to follow those entries closely. Here are three examples:

/info/en/?search=HealthBoards /info/en/?search=MedHelp /info/en/?search=DailyStrength

I respectfully suggest that the Inspire submission demonstrates as much if not more noteworthiness, and has as many or more and better sources than the above company-focused articles.

I appreciate the time you took to review the submission, and I welcome your further guidance. Thanks.

Hi Kikichugirl, thank you for the advice on my article on integrated landscape management. I have tried to address the issues and resubmitted. The thing I've found hardest is to address your question 'What is important about integrated landscapes approaches?' while also being more neutral and non-peacocky than before.

Hi Kikichugirl,

As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.

Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.

It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

The file File:Hack video game soundtrack album cover.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in .hack (video game series)#Music. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 02:33, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Kikichugirl! Reaching out to you since you're the only Scripps Wikipedian I know of. I've been working on fixing up Scripps' page a bit recently, and I'd love to get a page up for the Motley. I'm pretty sure it's notable, since there's an Inland Valley Daily Bulletin profile and I'm sure the Claremont Courier has covered it at some point. (Unfortunately, I can't find anything on the Courier's website, which I don't think goes back that far—certainly not to 1974—but TSL and a few other sources I've put at Draft:Motley Coffeehouse might be enough to get it by NPP.)
