````Hello, I submitted a Wikipedia page regarding Mr. Mir Abdolreza Daryabeigi' biography, It was rejected. I included all references. What kind of references are looking for so I can provide them. I am really disappointed why he was not accepted. There are painters of his time period with same kind of information were accepted. I am trying to gather more information through archives.- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirrezd ( talk • contribs) 02:58, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
A while back it seems to me you addressed the format issue and the fact many, in fact, very many articles are getting very long and directed specifically at "experts" and the already well read, rather than common knowledge and common information seekers.
Qualifying as a unique expert in very few fields, I would comment too many subjects are still so, and consequently not too useful. I find myself looking else where.
You might limit your experts to addressing and writing a common knowledge brief first, before allowing them to write their masters thesis on the subject.

Hello. May I ask you a question? I am not a European but I want to study in Europe as a visiting student for one year(undergraduate). Recently I have begun to make my motivation letter, but I have some problem. I know that admissions offices of universities are presumably interested in the extent of directly relevant knowledge and understanding, relevant language proficiency, and credible reassurances from a third party that the applicant is honest and mentally stable. But I wonder if there have been studies of the importance of other factors and/or the persuasiveness of different kinds of argument. (I'm particularly interested in northern European universities.)

Dear DeborahJay, Thank you for your response and sorry for my late reply. Actually, my university has a relationship with some European universities, but I will not apply to them for some reasons. I have already contacted the universities that I want to go to and checked that I am eligible to apply to them and I can get transferable credits there.(I need them.) However, I have never been to the countries of the universities or I'm not familiar with them. So I am worrying that it can make it difficult for me to pass the selection. Do you think that just writing some academic reasons why I want to learn in the universities is enough to make my motivation letter? Hippojunior5 ( talk) 06:49, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
Dear Hack, Thank you for your reply. As I wrote above, I will apply to universities in Europe which do not have a relationship with my university. But I don't have any personal reasons why I choose the universities although I have some academic reasons. I think writing both reasons in my motivation letter is ideal for my success, but what do you think? Hippojunior5 ( talk) 07:02, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
Where did the convention of having an "S" rank above an "A" rank come from? This is found in video games. — Melab±1 ☎ 05:15, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
It's a Japanese thing originating from the anime Rosario + Vampire, in which various monsters are ranked from weakest to strongest, with the S-Class being the strongest. 109.207.58.2 ( talk) 18:38, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
Likely this belongs in one of those places I never go, but anyway:
Many of my Wikipedia edits are to tighten an article's language (or cut fluff); consequently, it's possible that my net contribution, measured in bytes, is negative! I wonder, has someone made a tool to add up a user's net byte-count in article space, or to count up the plura and minora (that's plural of plus and minus for you non-Latinists) in one's contribution log? — Tamfang ( talk) 06:13, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
