My question concerns Draft: Logic Sticks ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Logic_Sticks). As per Wikipedia’s need for significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondarysources that are independent of the subject— Logic Sticks are an emerging skill toy which have their own website, social media (I know, off-limts for WP referencing) but have yet to have their coverage in academic journals or other approved media. What should I do? For full disclosure, I am working towards a brief set by my client, the creator of Logic Sticks, Mitchell John but want to put forward a stub (or possibly an article) worthy of the well-meaning, and nobler, aims of this encyclopaedia.

My question is about my Draft:Cointelegraph I find many trivial mentions of this site in reliable sources as they cited cointelegraph but pretty sure while it's popular site and quoted often I wouldn't find any significant coverage in reliable mainstream sources as no other news sites would speak about other news site without a very good reason and bloggers and reddit are not reliable. So this site is notable and reliable for other news site but not for wiki? ParanoiKrot ( talk) 13:18, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
I submitted this page a little while ago: /info/en/?search=Draft:Gilson_(company)
And it was rejected because it overly cited the website for the company the page is about. I have since revised and resubmitted the draft.
Will this second review take as long to happen as the first one did, or do secondary reviews tend to happen more quickly?
Also, will the draft be reviewed by the same person who rejected the page initially?
Thank you Cglife.bmarcus ( talk) 18:19, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

How do I contribute to Wikipedia to add terms or descriptions to the site?

BO PROSSER MEI Grant Administrator and Catalytic Coach bo1 Prosser served the senior leadership team of CBF from August, 2002 until September, 2017. As the Coordinator for Congregational Life, he was called to bring his 25 years as a career congregational Christian educator to the churches and church leaders of the Fellowship. Though his title changed in several reorganizations, his challenge throughout the years has always been to help make the Fellowship more relevant to its constituent congregations. As a result, his teams have developed the It's Time program for spiritual formation, the You've Got the Time! Bible listening experience, a congregational prayer retreat model and, most recently, the Dawnings initiative. Additionally, his leadership has led to the production of several congregational discipleship pieces, Christianity for Beginners for adults, the Becoming Like Christ series for youth and children, Destinations, an annual planning resource and Klesis, an adult discipleship resource. He has written the “Prayers of the People” article for fellowship! magazine since 2011. His focus on spiritual formation has been directly responsible for the deepening of prayer experiences for individuals and congregations across the fellowship and beyond. He has also written extensively around adult learning, creativity and leadership. His leadership has provided funding from donors and direction for congregations across the fellowship. The Dawnings Inititative, CBF Fellows, and resource development are sustainable in part because of his efforts. Prosser has also given leadership to restructuring the areas of new church starts and chaplaincy and pastoral counseling. In his last full time role as Coordinator of Organizational Relationships, Prosser was responsible for deepening relationships with existing partners, developing relationships with new partners, working with CBF state and regional leaders and supporting the work of the Young Baptist Ecosystem. Bo will continue in his leadership with the CBF Fellows and Dawnings. He will continue a busy schedule as writer, coach and speaker. He has been an adjunct professor at several of CBF's partner seminaries, author/co-author/contributor to more than 15 books and over 50 professional articles. Bo holds an undergraduate degree in Business Administration, an MRE and M.Div. from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., and his Doctorate from North Carolina State University in Adult Education. He is a storyteller, improvisational trainer and professional coach. He is married to Gail, has two adult daughters, and two grandchildren. In his spare time, he writes music (he has performed at the world famous Bluebird Café in Nashville) and collects Coca-Cola memorabilia and old baseball cards.

Hello,
Would any of project participants be interested in looking at the situation in the article Antisperm antibodies? I find reasoning of my opponent there very unusual. Briefly, he rejects the information based on reviews from 2013 and 2016 written by experts in the field and published in peer-reviewed journals indexed in MEDLINE (both reviews are open access). The conclusions of the authors of these reviews seem to somewhat contradict the information from the 2017 book added to the article by my opponent, although it has not been possible to verify this because the book is behind the pay wall. To attract attention to the problem, I have put tags on the relevant sections and text fragments of the article. The whole discussion can be found on the discussion page of the article.
Please also see a discussion (initiated by my opponent) on a slightly different aspect of the same article here: "homosexual_men"_vs_"MSM".

Hi there A page I created on England's Economic Heartland, /info/en/?search=Draft:England%27s_Economic_Heartland_Strategic_Alliance has been rejected as it contains 'copyrighted' text from the England's Economic Heartland website.
I am communications manager for England's Economic Heartland, which is a public body funded by UK Government and UK local authorities (I appreciate this does lead to a 'conflict of interest' argument. I have tried to write the article from a neutral, factual standpoint. Other bodies equivalent to England's Economic Heartland, such as Transport for the North ( /info/en/?search=Transport_for_the_North) have an article on Wikipedia).
England's Economic Heartland is happy to release the copyright of the words on its website (as a public, taxpayer-funded body we would not expect our words to be copyrighted anyway).
Is there a simple form I can fill out which relinquishes copyright? I could not find this anywhere.
Many thanks

thanks for the quick response. Appreciate what you're saying and I think it would be best if I re-write it using third-party sources. However, just as a question, I notice the Transport for the North Wikipedia page (which, as I said, is an equivalent body), is very well citated, but quite a number of them relate back to information on its own website. So would it be good if I went through the England's Economic Heartland article and made sure everything was citated correctly to the England's Economic Heartland website?

Sir we have a small non profit organization known as Bluegang. There is no other website or pages are available on the web to provide knowledge about us. We want to create an article on Wikipedia about us. Are we allowed to do that for an organizational page. We only have a Facebook page. We don't have any other references.

Hello BlueGang - Can I make a suggestion? I don't understand why, if you want to create an online presence for your group, you haven't already considered using other free social media platforms to create a website. Even if you met Wikipedia's requirements for notability (which you clearly don't) you would have no control on what is said about your group. On Wikipedia, anyone can edit a page, and that would include anything positive the media might at some point in the future say about you, as well as all the bad reporting. So, you've no money? - not a problem. Why not consider using either WordPress or Google's Blogger platforms to create a web presence totally for free. Here's a complex one that I built at no cost which serves as a both a blog and a website with static pages, and always comes out very near the top of search engine results - just as Wikipedia pages often do. With both Blogger and WordPress you can leave out the blog functionality if you don't want that, and the good thing is you can have more than one team member administering it, which lightens the load considerably. And no-one can put it up for deletion (as happens here) if it's deemed that your page no longer meets the standards of a world-wide encyclopaedia. You would be in full control (and it's easier to learn how to do it than here, too!). Seasonal greetings and regards from the UK, Nick Moyes ( talk) 14:47, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello,
I received a message encouraging me to post to the Teahouse to solicit feedback on my proposed article. This article has been rejected twice. The first time it was rejected for lack of the subject's notability. After edits, that no longer appears to be the issue and it was rejected for tone. I would appreciate some specific feedback on paragraphs or sentences that could be tweaked in terms of tone to qualify for Wikipedia's standards. The article is sponsored and the paid edit is disclosed at the top of the proposed article. Here is the draft:

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.If you don't think there are sources totally independent of the subject which you can cite to demonstrate their notability that meets our Guidelines, I would suggest you return your fee and suggest they use LinkedIn instead to promote themselves or to meet the needs of their ego. Wikipedia should be an encyclopaedia on interesting, notable topics, not a place where people pay others to write biographies of them. Maybe the company of which they are CEO might meet our criteria for organisations, in which case please read our notability for organisations page.

I added an external video link to the /info/en/?search=Quality_(business) Web page. The link is very relevant in providing a valid and useful definition of quality as an element of a conceptual system. I, also, thought to add the link as an example of a conceptual system on the /info/en/?search=Conceptual_system Web page. It's true that the video bears advertising; however, it would seem that the information has value and is relevant. Please advise. QSR Guru ( talk) 23:23, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
'Twas the night after Wikimas, when all through the
Teahouse
Not an
editor was stirring, not even a
mouse.
The
references had been inserted by users with care,
In hopes that
St. Jimbo
who? soon would be there.
Most editors were nestled all snug by their beds,
While visions of
new articles danced in their heads.
When out from a keyboard there arose such a clatter
I sprang to my screen to see what was the matter.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a question on
sources and how to use them well here.
More rapid than eagles these questioners came,
And the
hosts from the
Teahouse welcomed each one by name.
"Now,
em Dasher! Now,
Images!
Now,
Actrial! Now,
Patrolled!
On,
Users! On,
IPs!
On,
Young and on, Old!
To the
top of each article, be it long,
short or tall,
Now,
type away,
type away,
type away all!"
This quote needs a citation
As dry words that before an
old dictionary fly,
when they meet with a
synonym, mount to the sky,
So, onto these articles the edits they flew,
With a sleigh full of
facts, and citations, too.
And then in a twinkling, I saw on the page
Our wiki-creator: a man of great age.
As I checked it on
Commons and was turning around,
Down my router
St. Jimbo came with a bound.
Over
5 million articles he had flung on his back,
And he looked like most users with the editing knack.
His eyes – how they twinkled! slightly square – but how merry!
Too much editing, folks, had turned his nose like a cherry!
medical citation needed
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
citation needed
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had
nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his
editing,
And filled
bare urls; did
sourcing and
crediting
And confirming
notability with a tap on his nose,
And pressing "
Publish changes", back up my modem he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his
team gave a
whistle,
anachronism
And away they all flew, leaving me to my
epistle.
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Editing to all, and to all users a good night!"
Seasons greetings from all at the Teahouse!
With acknowledgement to Clement C. Moore

Please also see a discussion (initiated by my opponent) on a slightly different aspect of the same article here: "homosexual_men"_vs_"MSM".
I would appreciate your thoughts,

Hi there A page I created on England's Economic Heartland, /info/en/?search=Draft:England%27s_Economic_Heartland_Strategic_Alliance has been rejected as it contains 'copyrighted' text from the England's Economic Heartland website.
I am communications manager for England's Economic Heartland, which is a public body funded by UK Government and UK local authorities (I appreciate this does lead to a 'conflict of interest' argument. I have tried to write the article from a neutral, factual standpoint. Other bodies equivalent to England's Economic Heartland, such as Transport for the North ( /info/en/?search=Transport_for_the_North) have an article on Wikipedia).
England's Economic Heartland is happy to release the copyright of the words on its website (as a public, taxpayer-funded body we would not expect our words to be copyrighted anyway).
Is there a simple form I can fill out which relinquishes copyright? I could not find this anywhere.
Many thanks

thanks for the quick response. Appreciate what you're saying and I think it would be best if I re-write it using third-party sources. However, just as a question, I notice the Transport for the North Wikipedia page (which, as I said, is an equivalent body), is very well citated, but quite a number of them relate back to information on its own website. So would it be good if I went through the England's Economic Heartland article and made sure everything was citated correctly to the England's Economic Heartland website?

Sir we have a small non profit organization known as Bluegang. There is no other website or pages are available on the web to provide knowledge about us. We want to create an article on Wikipedia about us. Are we allowed to do that for an organizational page. We only have a Facebook page. We don't have any other references. If yes then pls tell me how. I'll be grateful to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueGang ( talk • contribs) 12:28, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello BlueGang - Can I make a suggestion? I don't understand why, if you want to create an online presence for your group, you haven't already considered using other free social media platforms to create a website. Even if you met Wikipedia's requirements for notability (which you clearly don't) you would have no control on what is said about your group. On Wikipedia, anyone can edit a page, and that would include anything positive the media might at some point in the future say about you, as well as all the bad reporting. So, you've no money? - not a problem. Why not consider using either WordPress or Google's Blogger platforms to create a web presence totally for free. Here's a complex one that I built at no cost which serves as a both a blog and a website with static pages, and always comes out very near the top of search engine results - just as Wikipedia pages often do. With both Blogger and WordPress you can leave out the blog functionality if you don't want that, and the good thing is you can have more than one team member administering it, which lightens the load considerably. And no-one can put it up for deletion (as happens here) if it's deemed that your page no longer meets the standards of a world-wide encyclopaedia. You would be in full control (and it's easier to learn how to do it than here, too!). Seasonal greetings and regards from the UK, Nick Moyes ( talk) 14:47, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello wikipedians! I wanted to tell that all the things I write in my articles are written by me and I don't get help from any sources for them but when I have less references, my articles are declined. My questions are How much references do we need? and what to do if we don't have sources? Zayyam123 ( talk) 17:06, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

In most of the articles i see on Wikipedia, there is a box to the right side wit a picture on top, and some information about the thing,place,person e.t.c who the article is on.

Hello,
I received a message encouraging me to post to the Teahouse to solicit feedback on my proposed article. This article has been rejected twice. The first time it was rejected for lack of the subject's notability. After edits, that no longer appears to be the issue and it was rejected for tone. I would appreciate some specific feedback on paragraphs or sentences that could be tweaked in terms of tone to qualify for Wikipedia's standards. The article is sponsored and the paid edit is disclosed at the top of the proposed article. Here is the draft:

Thank you for your time. Lithofish ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:04, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
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.If you don't think there are sources totally independent of the subject which you can cite to demonstrate their notability that meets our Guidelines, I would suggest you return your fee and suggest they use LinkedIn instead to promote themselves or to meet the needs of their ego. Wikipedia should be an encyclopaedia on interesting, notable topics, not a place where people pay others to write biographies of them. Maybe the company of which they are CEO might meet our criteria for organisations, in which case please read our notability for organisations page.

Dear friends, I have a simple question. Can we use third party reliable sources from different languages or countries when creating article for English Wikipedia?

I added an external video link to the /info/en/?search=Quality_(business) Web page. The link is very relevant in providing a valid and useful definition of quality as an element of a conceptual system. I, also, thought to add the link as an example of a conceptual system on the /info/en/?search=Conceptual_system Web page. It's true that the video bears advertising; however, it would seem that the information has value and is relevant. Please advise. QSR Guru ( talk) 23:23, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
'Twas the night after Wikimas, when all through the
Teahouse
Not an
editor was stirring, not even a
mouse.
The
references had been inserted by users with care,
In hopes that
St. Jimbo
who? soon would be there.
Most editors were nestled all snug by their beds,
While visions of
new articles danced in their heads.
When out from a keyboard there arose such a clatter
I sprang to my screen to see what was the matter.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a question on
sources and how to use them well here.
More rapid than eagles these questioners came,
And the
hosts from the
Teahouse welcomed each one by name.
"Now,
em Dasher! Now,
Images!
Now,
Actrial! Now,
Patrolled!
On,
Users! On,
IPs!
On,
Young and on, Old!
To the
top of each article, be it long,
short or tall,
Now,
type away,
type away,
type away all!"
This quote needs a citation
As dry words that before an
old dictionary fly,
when they meet with a
synonym, mount to the sky,
So, onto these articles the edits they flew,
With a sleigh full of
facts, and citations, too.
And then in a twinkling, I saw on the page
Our wiki-creator: a man of great age.
As I checked it on
Commons and was turning around,
Down my router
St. Jimbo came with a bound.
Over
5 million articles he had flung on his back,
And he looked like most users with the editing knack.
His eyes – how they twinkled! slightly square – but how merry!
Too much editing, folks, had turned his nose like a cherry!
medical citation needed
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
citation needed
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had
nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his
editing,
And filled
bare urls; did
sourcing and
crediting
And confirming
notability with a tap on his nose,
And pressing "
Publish changes", back up my modem he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his
team gave a
whistle,
anachronism
And away they all flew, leaving me to my
epistle.
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Editing to all, and to all users a good night!"
Seasons greetings from all at the Teahouse!
With acknowledgement to Clement C. Moore
