I'm interested in helping create an article for Stella Starsky and Quinn Cox, astrologers and authors of the book Sextrology. They are a married couple based in New York City and present their original “Astrology of Sex and the Sexes” philosophy, hinged, as it is, on a longstanding view that men and women of the same sign are actually different characters—thus, their zodiac comprises twenty-four signs, rather than the traditional twelve. Their book Sextrology, published by Harper Collins in 2004, has received raving reviews from The New York Times, Vogue, and Time Magazine. They have a live stage act and consult privately.

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! :) Stella Starsky and Quinn Cox would be covered by Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies (see creative professionals under additional criteria), which requires utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles and book reviews to support a claim of why the couple has encyclopedic importance. The telegraph article or cavalier daily, for example, seem perfect. It would be helpful if you could locate a few more of that sort. :) The Amazon page can be used to source technical details about the book—like ISBN—but not as a source of reviews, since there's no editorial oversight for Amazon reviews. E-Reader might be helpful in tracking down other appearance although in itself it doesn't seem potentially usable. The couple's website can be used to flesh out details, but not to establish notability. An article of this sort would also be covered by Wikipedia's guidelines on "biographies of living persons", which in part urges editors to be extremely careful not to include any information that isn't sourced, even if it's true, and also reminds us that biographies particularly must be written from a neutral point of view.

Before you create the article, please search Wikipedia to make sure that an article does not already exist on the couple. Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article. Please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. Good luck, and happy editing. :) -- Moonriddengirl 18:37, 1 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Hello. :) I don't believe we have a specific guideline on that sort of thing, so I'd start with the base notability guidelines and keep in mind other major policies on verifiability and neutrality. If I were setting out to create an article of that sort, I'd probably start by discussing it at one of the Canadian WikiProjects, like Wikipedia:WikiProject Government of Canada. There's not a lot of activity on the talk page of that project, so if I didn't get any response within a couple of days, I'd probably try to track somebody down at another Canadian project listed here. Remember to sign your notes with ~~~~, which will add your "signature" and time stamp.

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! :) In order to create an article about that person, you'll need to be able to assert notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies, which will mean utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles. The question here would be whether her career is regarded as notable by such sources. Is there coverage specifically about her? Has her contribution to television producing been regarded as notable by her peers or garnered her awards? These are the kinds of things that might establish notability.

An article of this sort would be covered by Wikipedia's guidelines on "biographies of living persons", which in part urges editors to be extremely careful not to include any information that isn't sourced, even if it's true, and also reminds us that biographies particularly must be written from a neutral point of view.

If you are able to assemble necessary sources and if your subject meets the notability requirements, you may choose to create the article yourself, although if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you discuss your article first, perhaps at the talk page of a related article or at the relevant WikiProject.

If you do wish to create the article, you will either need to register an account, which has many benefits, including the ability to create articles, or post it at Wikipedia:Articles for creation, where other editors will review it to be sure it meets policies and, if so, create it for you.

FiltaFry is an international company of mobile franchises specializing in the micro-filtration of cooking oil and vacuum-based cleaning of deep fryers in restaurants and commercial kitchens.

Today, FiltaFry is head-quartered in Orlando, Florida. It was founded in 1996 by Jason Sayers, who was a 26-year-old software designer living outside London. He was asked to find a way to extend the life of cooking oil used in fryers. Sayers took his idea to an engineering firm that produced hydraulic oil filtration systems for aircraft and heavy equipment. The engineering firm modified its system for use in the food service industry.

FiltaFry President Victor Clewes joined FiltaFry late in 1996 to help growth. FiltaFry first expanded internationally to Australia in 1998. By 2002 FiltaFry had expanded to the United States, and now have over 150 operations throughout the US, Canada and Central & South America.

In addition they have the original operation in the UK run by chief Executive J Urosevic. From there they have in excess of 60 FiltaFry Franchisees and several International Master Franchisees. Anyone interested in becoming part of the FiltaFry world wide team would need to step off from the UK operation as the USA only deals with the Americas and the Caribbean.

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'll put my response here rather than responding to both. :) This particular article would be governed by the notability guidelines on companies. As it stands, there is no assertion of notability and an article of this sort would most likely be subject to swift deletion. The article needs to explain what makes this company worthy of reference in an encyclopedia. The rule of thumb here is noting whether the company has received significant or widespread coverage in secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the company (excluding company PR releases and information solely available on the company website—these sources may be used for additional information after notability has been established by secondary sources).

If you are able to assemble necessary sources to include and verify notability, you may certainly create such an article, although if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you discuss the idea on the talk page of a related article or at a related WikiProject. If you do choose to write the article in such a case, you'll want to be sure that you approach it neutrally and without undue promotion. While lacking notability claim, the tone of the above seems fine. :)

Several of this company's published product lines are listed on Wikipedia already, but the company doesn't have its own page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fading_Suns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthdawn http://www.redbrick.co.nz/

I just thought that was weird. As for notability, it is referenced outside of itself here (And if its products are notable, I would think the company itself would also be notable): http://www.holistic-design.com/news.htm#RedBrick 152.7.195.35 15:22, 4 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi. :) RedBrick Limited would be covered by the notability guidelines on businesses. I would imagine it might well be notable, but the link that you provide on the reference outside of itself could be a bit problematic, since it reads like a press release to me, which is excluded as a secondary source by that notability guideline. If you decide to pursue creating the article, you should probably look for profiles about the company in newspapers or magazines, and the usual policies, of course, covering tone and verifiability will apply. You'll either need to register an account, which has many benefits, including the ability to create articles, or post it at Wikipedia:Articles for creation, where other editors will review it to be sure it meets policies and, if so, create it for you.

I am probably just a fan of his work, but as many Puerto Ricans, Gallego is a notable spoken-word artist and singer.

This is my first article. I've started here because although I think that this artist is notable, after extensive Google [2] searches & searches within Wikipedia [3] coming up empty, I'm not much further along than where I started. There appears to possibly have been 3 men alive about the same time, all with the same name, adding to the confusion.

What I have found so far from owners of his paintings via the information on the back of their paintings:

His birth: If he was born in 1895, it was most likely in Trieste. If he was born in 1910, 1912, 1927, 1937, or 11May1941, he was most likely born in Italy, specifically Milan. Are these two different men?

Did he receive his education at the Academy of Arts in Rome, the South Kensington School of Arts, and the Royal Academy of London, or did he study at the Academy of Art in Amsterdam? If in Rome, did he study under Professor Ranzi?

Was his first name Manuel, Hendrik, or Giuseppe? Did he paint in Holland or Capri? Did he marry a Dutch woman & live in Holland?

Do paintings have numbers like the books do with ISBN? Two paintings have registry numbers of 25-0073854 & 3081-700.

The artist I am principally interested in paints small adobe style houses along a small white sandy beach with blue water, a fishing boat and mountains, e.g.: http://cgi.ebay.com/Camprio-Itialian-Coastal-Scene-Oil-Painting_W0QQitemZ130151854132QQihZ003QQcategoryZ20136QQcmdZViewItem There is another artist that also goes by the name of Camprio, living about the same time, that paints stills versus beach scenes, & uses a completely different style of painting: http://www.burchardgalleries.com/auctions/2002/sep2202/l165.jpg The most prominent clue that this isn't the same artist is the signature.

Two Camprio works were auctioned last year:

• "Peisaj Mediteranean" 26Feb06
• "Fischerdorf Am Gardasee" 22July06, Giuseppe Camprio

One Certificate of Authenticity states: "Manuel Camprio is the artist name for Charles Lombard that he uses for lakescenes and landscapes. It is his wife's name who is an artist as well.The couple travel very much by housewagon along the coast of the mediterrenian, but return to Holland where actually they are living. French born and educated in Paris they migrated on account of war in 1939. They have no children and live their bohemian life."

Hi. If you're sure he meets notability guidelines for creative professionals, then your big challenge it seems like is going to be coming up with reliable sources to verify that. Not being particularly active in the visual arts, I'm afraid that Google is about the extent of my resources. It might be useful to you to check with the folks at Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts. They might have suggestions on their project page and, if not, you may be able to get some advise at their talk page. Ironing out the three men sounds pretty complicated.

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! It sounds like it shouldn't be too much of a challenge to assert the notability of that one. :) You'll need to assert notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies, which will mean utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles or scholarly sources. I'm not familiar with Haworth, but it seems as though her article might be covered by Wikipedia's guidelines on "biographies of living persons", which in part urges editors to be extremely careful not to include any information that isn't sourced, even if it's true, and also reminds us that biographies particularly must be written from a neutral point of view.

Playaways are digital audio books. http://store.playawaydigital.com/ I would like to create this article as it is becoming very popular in my line of work. I would like to avoid making it sound like an advertisement. Any suggestions? Thanks. Abby 22:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi, Abby. :) That's an excellent question, I think. I believe the line between asserting notability and promotion is sometimes difficult to define for many Wikipedians. Obviously, the biggest requirement is sticking to the neutral point of view, and it will help if you make sure that nothing in the article is unattributed. If The Horton Gazette says Playaways have revolutionized the book world, be sure to indicate that it's the Horton Gazette that says so. (I don't know what the Horton Gazette thinks of Playways. Or if there is a Horton Gazette. These are totally for the sake of illustration.) If there are contrasting views, include those as well. Library Monthly says audio books are robbing kids of literacy? Be sure to put that in. I think what's needed here are sound sources to verify everything in the article. Honestly, I sometimes think that editors view articles on companies and products with a more wary eye than they do biographies of living persons. It can be done, but it probably does require extra care. :) Good luck. If you want to bounce specifics, please feel free to let us know. -- Moonriddengirl 23:00, 7 October 2007 (UTC) reply

If you want to request an article, you may do so at Wikipedia:Requested articles, which can be a rather slow process, or you can suggest it at the talk page of a related article or Wikipedia:WikiProject, like Wikipedia:WikiProject Companies. Before requesting it, if you'd like to get an idea of the requirements of such an article, please take a look at Wikipedia:Notability (web) and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), the two guidelines that would govern such an article. Good luck. :) -- Moonriddengirl 12:08, 11 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi - I'm new to this but wondered if it would be worth including this new (ish) title on Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben Harries ( talk • contribs) 11 October 2007

Hello, Ben, and welcome to Wikipedia. :) The magazine may be appropriate for inclusion if it meets the notability guidelines. Basic rule of thumb would be to check and see if other people are talking about it in reputable sources that are not directly related to the magazine. Has it been covered by industry journals? Has it been discussed in newspaper or other magazines? With Wikipedia, the point is not simply that it exists, but that its existence is of encyclopedic interest. You might want to head over to Wikipedia:WikiProject Journalism to ask what sorts of sources are usually used to substantiate notability on this kind of magazine. You can leave such a question at the project's talk page. (Remember to "sign" your comments by placing ~~~~ at the end of them, which will expand to include your username and a timestamp.) I don't know if the editors at that project are extremely active in watching that project page, but they would probably have a better idea than most how magazine articles work. If you do decide to create the article, you need to be particularly careful to maintain neutrality in tone, as many articles related to businesses or products are carefully inspected for evidence of excessive promotion. Let us know if you want to discuss more specific ideas here or if you'd like me to clarify anything I've said already. Good luck, and happy editing. :) -- Moonriddengirl 19:19, 11 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Dear Fellow Wikipedists:

I recently stumbled upon a major project idea dedicated to New York City Subway titled NYCmetroProject. The purpose of the project is to create a photo-dialogue/documentary of the riders/users of the subway systems and their individual experiences.

NYC Subway obviously has incredible amounts of history wrapped around it. To-date there are several online sites which document items such as blogging on SubwayBlogger, Facebook Subway Advisories, history/Information directory on NYCSubway, subway/bus directions on HopStop, Google's NYSubway, etc.

What the City of New York is lacking however is an interactive photo-documentary of its millions of riders/users. This is what is being produced (the site is strictly dedicated to "mugshots" of the subway passengers). Wikipedia is a perfect periodical/resource for formal documentation of this project, because it's content is entirely controlled by it's users....as is the content on NYCmetroProject.

You may ask/rebut, "hasn't this sort of thing been done before?" or "why would people want to participate?" - ANSWER 1: photo-concentrated documentaries of people cruising New York's metro systems have existed in the past (most prolific/famous amongst them being Bruce Davidson (photographer) with his 1970's photo series titled Subway. However, never has one successfully penetrated the internet waves of the World Wide Web with an interactive photo-documentary which allows subway users from all over the world to gaze at one another in a safe environment. Plus, the technology and track history of existing applications such as Facebook or Myspace or Flickr tell me the city of NYC and its subway people need an interactive gallery of its populace. If one existed, a user in Kentucky could just as easily get a whiff of what it's like to cruise the subways as someone from Iceland. ANSWER 2: People love getting their pictures taken, especially if it involves being apart of something which is larger than themselves. I have experimented with this in the trenches of the Subways several times and already have a collection of 500+ "mugshots" of riders (w/consent forms) who want to participate.

The site is ambiguous in its present form, but will soon be much more defined as it is collecting bids from various award-winning webdevelopment teams (such as The Map Office) to transpose the photographs into application.

NYCmetroProject will be expanding to all cities listed below: Attached is the original article submitted for publish with wikipedia on 10/10/07.

NYCmetroProject is a photodocumentary web-application whose mission is to create an online experience for riders/travellers/foreigners/domesticans alike and simulate the New York City Subway. The project was co-founded in 2007 by Eileen Beredo and David Nelson and is currently owned and operated by Quagmeyer Productions Inc. Once the project fully circulates NYC, it will spread to the international/domestic hosts listed below (ALL currently under construction). Its primary resource for communication is photography, more specifically "mugshots" of subway riders.

Hello, Quaginc, and welcome to Wikipedia. The challenge of posting such an article will be verifying its encyclopedic notability. Notability guidelines generally call for evidence that article subjects are being discussed in reliable sources that are distinct from the subject—press releases and such can be used for supporting details, but for verifiability Wikipedia requires third party confirmation. Has this project been covered in newspapers or journals that can be cited? If so, and if coverage is not trivial, then an article of this sort should be appropriate for Wikipedia.

If you are able to assemble necessary sources to assert notability, you may certainly create such an article, although if you are closely associated with the subject (as your name suggests you might be), our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you discuss the idea on the talk page of a related article or at a relevant WikiProject. You may also request that an article be written at Wikipedia:Requested articles. If you do choose to write the article and are involved with the project, you'll want to be particularly careful to approach it neutrally and without undue promotion.

Before establishing the article, please search Wikipedia to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article. Please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. Good luck, and happy editing. :) -- Moonriddengirl 20:28, 11 October 2007 (UTC) reply

so.....conclusion on NYCmetroProject: all i have to do is produce an article of non-trivial descent, and have someone else post the article to maintain neutrality???

if such articles do not exist on the project as of yet.....as "substitutes".....is there any way i can use the multitude of consent forms signed by subway riders participating in the project already, and articles summarizing other experiential websites ("genre-ing" the same subject matter - NYC Subways)???

i read credible sources include the following:

1. idea or project (New York City Subway photo-documentary) 2. project creator info (Quagmeyer Productions, Inc.) 3. a site to substantiate the idea exists (www.nycmetroproject.com)

please advise.

Quaginc 20:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC) reply

I'm sorry for the delay in responding. I had to answer a business call.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as such is a compendium of previously published information. No matter how fascinating it may be, Wikipedia is not the place for original research. Therefore, an article about this project would not likely be appropriate for Wikipedia unless or until it is covered by the kind of secondary sources that Wikipedia requires for verifiability. Without seeing what you have in mind, I can't of course be certain, but in my experience on Wikipedia I do not believe that substitution of the sort you're describing would meet Wikipedia's guidelines.

Writing about the projects, as there seem to be a large number of similar projects around the world, might be possible, if independent sourcing for those can be found. You might in that context briefly mention this specific one. Lacking secondary sources, though, there's not much room to expand, I'm afraid. Wikipedia is governed by verifiability, not truth, and since we have no oversight committee to go out and investigate claims, we have to rely on sources that do have editorial oversight. Wikipedia's articles therefor avoid websites created by an article's subject. (See WP:V#Self-published_sources_.28online_and_paper.29 for more.) Your project sounds fascinating, and I can well imagine that if it does not yet have proper sourcing, it soon will. It might be best to wait to create the article until it does. -- Moonriddengirl 21:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Hello, Andy, and welcome to Wikipedia. :) I'm happy to give you some tips. There's a lot of material to assimilate, but in my experience the learning curve is not so steep.

Probably the major two points you need to be mindful of in creating an article is the notability of the company and your relationship to it. The notability guidelines for companies will help you determine if an article about your company is appropriate for Wikipedia. The basic rule of thumb here is that the company needs to have been covered by reliable, third party sources which you can cite. The company's own publications can be used to add supporting details, but the encyclopedic significance of the company needs to be verified by external parties.

As far as your relationship to the company is concerned, Wikipedia has policies in place governing conflict of interest editing. It is not forbidden, but we do urge you to exercise extreme care when it comes to presenting the company neutrally and without undue promotion. In my observation, I believe that articles on companies receive closer scrutiny than almost any other kind. Even borderline cases are often challenged as being overly promotional, so I would personally suggest you be assertive in explaining why your company has encyclopedic interest and conservative in touting the company's virtues. Good sourcing will help you tremendously with both.

Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article for additional information. Please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. If you have not done much editing on Wikipedia, you might find it helpful to go into the edit boxes of other articles and just take a look at what Wikipedia's markup looks like in action. Before establishing the article, please search Wikipedia to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Good luck, and happy editing. Please let us know if you have further questions. -- Moonriddengirl 12:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Recently there was a television program depicting many possibilities for the future of evolution on this planet, including the evolution of humanoid squids and saber-toothed wolverines. I believe there's already an article for this program, but said program is only a small part of a larger topic. Another television program, many years ago, did something similar, predicting that rats might take over the evolutionary niche left by wolves, that rabbits might do the same with the niche left over from the giraffe, the penguine with the niche left from the whale, and also predicted that bats might become flightless, bipedal, cursorial predators that run on the front limbs and use their hind limbs for clawing/grasping. Such an article could also include commedy, such as the replacement of pigeons by spotted owls in the future of Futurama. The article would essentially cover the spectrum from serious hypothesizing about the future of evolution to pure entertainment. So far, I can't find anything like it on the web, and that's a real shame, because the second television program I mentioned is already obscure (I think it might've starred one or both of the "Dinosaur guys" who used to do all those television specials; Gary Owens and what's-his-name) and a lot of this information could be lost forever if Wikipedia doesn't make a record of it. -- GrammarDude 13:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC) reply

I would suppose there might be room for an article on evolutionary prediction if there isn't one already. After all, people have predicting the way species will evolve since people first developed that notion that species do evolve. :) I think particular attention would need to be paid to sourcing to avoid original research or synthesis, since it seems to me there might be some danger in crossing over into primary research. I'd probably start by looking for journal articles that discuss the trend of making such predictions. -- Moonriddengirl 13:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Oh, no doubt original research will be a problem! I think if I or someone else can can somehow find the names of the two television programs I mentioned, then those, along with the Futurama reference, would be enough for a decent stub (as opposed to a micro-stub). If we were to start off with those from the get go, potential contributors might be more likely to see the page as a repository of hypotheses about the future of evolution that've already been made in works of fiction, and therefore a place not to chime-in with one's own opinions about what directions evolution might take but to chime-in instead with one's favorite documentary (et cetera) depicting such hypotheses, which should, I think, discourage original research without someone creating a sub-heading specifically for that purpose. Any other ideas as to how to go about it? -- GrammarDude 14:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Hmmm. Are you thinking to write a list or an article? And original research is not allowed even if there is a specific subhead for that purpose. :) -- Moonriddengirl 16:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC) reply

I'm thinking a page describing hypothetical creatures such as the Dinosauroid-from- Stenonychosaurus thought experiment, species created for pure entertainment like the Sleestak from Land of the Lost or the Voth from Star Trek (not to mention that in the Star Trek universe, spiders are one of the species in humanity's evolutionary history, as well as our cousins, the Neandethals, Eryopse was a synapsid, warm-blooded creatures evolved only once, with dinosaurs -- presumably including avian dinosaurs -- being cold-blooded) might be of some use. A page dedicated to fictional creatures supposed to have evolved some time in the (fictional) history of the planet, like the creatures from the 2005 version of King Kong's Skull Island. It could also include purely fantastic beasts like Tolkien's "oliphaunts" -- possibly. If too large, it could be divided into subpages. -- GrammarDude 13:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC) reply

I don't mean fictional protrayals or descriptions of actual evolution, such as the sickeningly common treatment of evolution in hollywood with humans being the "most advanced" species on the "evolutionary ladder/chain" or any bullspit like that (such as in films like X-Men. On the contrary, I'm thinking more along the lines of films like Evolution, or Mimic wherein a fictional speciation event or phylogenic "explosion" occurs. But as with the last two suggestions I've made, I haven't nearly the knowledge to start assembling a page like that myself, and am completely bogged down with other projects (it's amazing I've found the time just to make this and the last two posts to this page!). -- GrammarDude 13:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC) reply

The Drawing Board is for discussing ideas for articles you plan to create yourself. If you want to spark interest in someone else about creating sub-articles on evolution, you might want to suggest it at the talk page of one of the existing articles about evolution or bring it up at the appropriate Wikipedia:WikiProject. As far as I can tell, I am the only editor currently routinely monitoring this page, and this isn't the type of article I write. I'm a Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums kind of girl. :) -- Moonriddengirl 16:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC) reply

In contrast to "Evolution in fiction", which would deal with fictional evolutionary scenerios, this could be reserved for describing the accuracy or lack of accuracy with which films, books, television programs, et cetera, deal with the subject of evolution, and could even contain a section with some statistics on how well the general public understands evolution, from the support for evolution page. -- GrammarDude 13:50, 12 October 2007 (UTC) reply

WikiWar is the act of a friendly e-mail flame war attempting to out-do one another with random and/or more absurd obscure references found on Wikipedia by sending random links. For example, one person might send a link to a long-forgotten breakfast cereal while the next person would reply with a link to a Wikipedia page of a high-profile failure such as the CD-Interactive gaming system. The game continues until one opponent becomes stumped, unable to retrieve from their memory any further obscure references or one person replies with a cool or successful product or actually brings back fond (and not negative) memories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerby1976 ( talk • contribs) 12 October 2007

Hi, Gerby1976, and welcome to Wikipedia. The challenge in establishing this article, I would think, would be proving that it's not a neologism. As that policy explains, you'd need to use reliable sources that discuss the term for verifiability, not just primary sources that use the term. Some of the common dictionaries that list phrases like that do not meet Wikipedia's criteria for reliable sources. Another challenge is that unless a full, encyclopedic article could be written about it, it would likely qualify as a dictionary definition, which would make it unsuitable for this project. If you can find reliable sources for it, but not enough information to make it encyclopedic, you might want to consider submitting it to Wiktionary. -- Moonriddengirl 19:12, 12 October 2007 (UTC) reply

The human mind is still the best computer money can buy but is still running short of the potential of the human mind/computer. Human mind can source information needed ultra fast but sometimes you can't get your hardware to work to the pace of your brain the words might not come out or vice versa.If you are passionate about learning a particular subject you will excell, if it comes from a conected energy source with backup access you feel you do not need to store as much information because you can shuffle back through your notes. Henry Ford would not clutter his mind with useless information he focused on what he was doing at the time if he needed to know something he would call someone so his iq was not the greatest but he was a very great man. Storage devices and the organisation skills of machines has freed alot of humans minds up and have the time to dream again, but they don't know what to dream anymore because our machines hum us to sleep as we fall in front of the computer or tv trying to escape reality when all seems to real. Is there a celestine powers in the computers? it is the great unknown the power, the cyberworld who knows what we will be capable of in the next fifty years it won't be much we have hit the cyber ceiling but baby steps looking for a balance for the planet will have to be first priority otherwise it will be a fucked up world.

Whoever you are you can change the word with a little knowledge teach others as you go most don't want to listen,ignorance is bCyber enlightenment Enlightenment gained from historical and modern trends in science and culture via cyberworld rather than traditional mentors and teachers. A sense of being is usually gained from a cyber experience the machine is the machine and you are the human sometime the machines are seen not as friends and as a hassle but still you are connecting with energy and a a network of internet or intranet. If you view the cyberworld as a universe itself and the machines are a link to that universe that is growing without water or sunlight but must still have energy.If you look at computers on wikipedia you will find the map to the internet the white represents the unknown and is growing. You will have to wonder if the machines are going to take over one day they already run our lives with blackberrys and cell phones ect ect we have incredible war machines that could wipe out life on the planet.I think honesty with oneself to beleive that the machines won't be there to hurt us and there are people like us on the machines connected to the web then each other will ultimatley rule the world one day.People that believe everything they see on tv are not usually into cyber enlightenment,they like to turn there mind off and let someone else do the thinking and immerse there mind.When they have limitless possibilities in gaining knowledge that could change your life form religion to politics to the prophets everyone in a free country has a massive library. Even the secrets to life would probaly hidden away somewhere in cyberspace, through communication of knowledge we create new paradigms,growth and development for individuals and nations. You can look up zen or look up satan pornography or religious sites these are the real x files to alot of people and the more they learn the more they can feel enlightened because we all have a great computer our own mind. 61.68.38.134 21:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Giritina. :) There's really two questions to answer here: whether the books are notable and whether you can write about them without the problems sometimes encountered by article writers with a conflict of interest. Wikipedia:Notability (books) can help you determine if the books meet Wikipedia's guidelines for inclusion—that is, if they are of interest to the readers of an encyclopedia. The article would need to set out what makes the books notable and verify that with reliable secondary sources. If the books are notable, you certainly may choose to create an article about them, but you would want to be even more cautious than most editors to use a neutral tone and avoid undue promotion. -- Moonriddengirl 22:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi. I'm presuming that you're talking about an article on a concept and not a specific company with that name. If it is a company, please see the response to the question immediately above this one. Similar guidelines will apply. :)

As a concept, you'd need to demonstrate that it is in widespread use (personally, I'm pretty sure it is, but Wikipedia avoids neologisms) and is notable. You can verify both of these through references to reliable sources. You might want to look for journal or newspaper articles explaining the concept, for instance.

You'll also want to make coverage encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a dictionary and should cover the concept with more depth than a dictionary would (like Wiktionary, for instance, which defines the term here).

If you decide that you can assemble an article with proper sources, you will either need to register an account, which has many benefits, including the ability to create articles, or post it at Wikipedia:Articles for creation, where other editors will review it to be sure it meets policies and, if so, create it for you.

An article of this sort would be covered by Wikipedia's guidelines on "biographies of living persons", which in part urges editors to be extremely careful not to include any information that isn't sourced, even if it's true, and also reminds us that biographies particularly must be written from a neutral point of view.

If you are able to assemble necessary sources and if your subject meets the notability requirements, you may choose to create the article yourself, although if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you discuss your article first, perhaps at the talk page of a related article or at the relevant WikiProject.

If you do wish to create the article, you will either need to register an account, which has many benefits, including the ability to create articles, or post it at Wikipedia:Articles for creation, where other editors will review it to be sure it meets policies and, if so, create it for you.

If you choose to create it yourself, once you have registered, please search Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article. Please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:16, 17 October 2007 (UTC) reply

You might find what you are looking for in the article about Infrared thermometer. If you cannot find the answer there, click here to post your question at that article's talk page. If that does not solve your problem, you can try asking your question at Wikipedia's Reference Desk. They will be glad to try and answer questions about anything in the universe (except about how to use Wikipedia, which is what the help desk is for). I hope this helps. -- Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 01:48, 19 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. If this is an article you'd like to propose, you can put it in the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Requested articles. If you'd like to write the article yourself, it sounds like it might be biographical, which would be governed by the guidelines on biographies. If the person is living, pay particular attention to the extra guidelines for biographies of living persons. Be sure to verify the notability with reliable sources and maintain a neutral tone. You will need to log in to create an article. Once you've done so, you might visit Help:Starting a new page for specific steps to establishing articles. -- Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:18, 19 October 2007 (UTC) reply

FiltaFry is an international company of mobile franchises specializing in the micro-filtration of cooking oil and vacuum-based cleaning of deep fryers in restaurants and commercial kitchens.

Today, FiltaFry is headquartered in Orlando, FLorida. It was founded in 1996 by Jason Sayers, who wass a 26-year-old software designer living outside London. He was asked to find a way to extend the life of cooking oil used in fryers. Sayers took his idea to an engineering firm that produced hydraulic oil filtration systems for aircraft and heavy equipment. The engineering firm modified its system for use in the foodservice industry.

FiltaFry President Victor Clewes joined FiltaFry late in 1996 to help growth. FiltaFry first expanded internationally to Australia in 1998. By 2002 FiltaFry had expanded to the United States, and now have over 150 operations throughout the US, Canada and Central & South America.

I am probably just a fan of hos work, but as many Puerto Ricans, Gallego is a notable spoken-word artist and singer. I only know bit and pieces, and I would like to inspire interest to someone that can access Gallego's background and can put together an article about him.

A lot of thoughts have crossed my mind about creating a new X-Man, the thought is of this; Cross three X-Men that have great skills that are both bad and good, lets take Wolverine, Angel and cyclops. Now this would be a creation that would scare even Stan Lee! Now, the thought that should come to is this;

The most unstoppable X-Man of all times that would make Wolverine Piss his uniform (pants). Or even make Superman fly back to his Home Planet!!! Or make Magneto Piss and poop his pants, and even make think about using his powers against the X-Men, and the whole Team!!!!!!!!!!!!

Combine all of the abilities of Wolverine, Angel and Cyclops and we will know that this NEW X-MAN will be the Ultimate one of them all....... Lets call Him Ravensclaw. Yes I would be Ravensclaws' Creator (Father). My Son will be trained in all factors of War, Special Operations and tactics. Ravensclaw 03:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Perhaps you'd like to discuss your ideas with other X-Men fans at The Marvel forums. Alternatively, you might wish to pitch your concept to the company directly. Wikipedia won't be a good home for your ideas, unfortunately, until the character is notable and verifiable through reliable, secondary sources. :) -- Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:02, 22 October 2007 (UTC) reply

This guy is a DJ from Chicago who appears to be on the way to being a very influential guy in the national music scene. He does pretty incredible remixes and literally does every important event in Chicago, as well as every where else as far as I can tell. I am an event planner in the city, and we are doing a holiday event with Google and he was requested personally by the company. In my quest to find out more about him, I have been trying to do research, and have found articles about him in all the local press as well as Spin, Rolling Stone, Factio, OK!, and on E! online. I know he has worked on some production stuff for some major chicago artists and is good friends with the Fall Out Boy crew, and is working on some project with The Plain White T's. I am new to Wikipedia, but was suprised you didn't have any information on him. I don't know much about writing, so I guess I am just checking in...

Thanks, Shannon

Oh, his myspace is www.myspace.com/whtshdw. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shannon312 ( talk • contribs) 05:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC) reply

I would really like to see an article constructed on bendini motors. Unfortunately i can't do this myself as i don't have anywhere near enough knowledge of the subject to do so. There is a wealth of information on the internet it just needs someone with a keen mind to compile it and sift the good from the bad.

It appears that rugs and other household articles are being made from "derclon" without any reference to what it is and whether or not it might be toxic. I can find no reference to manufacturer or chemical content of the actual fibers.wiseartist Wiseartist 22:09, 29 October 2007 (UTC) reply
