/info/en/?search=Draft:Hunger_Relief_International
I fail to see how the HRI article reads like an advertisement. I worked a long time to get it neutral and in large part believe I accomplished this. If it wasn't neutral in select areas, perhaps a contribution could have been made rather than a summary rejection that it was unworthy to be posted on a user-generated wiki? I'm fairly new to wikipedia and want to learn more and help out as much as I can. But I'm completely flummoxed how some pages can get approved while ones like mine (above) can be dumped.
/info/en/?search=Feed_the_Hungry has almost zero content and it was accepted. /info/en/?search=Feed_the_Children contains 6 out of 14--or nearly half of all references--going back to it's own website (obvious self-promotion).
/info/en/?search=Draft:Hunger_Relief_International only has 2 of 8 references going to its website (for financial and charitable work references).
In addition to Feed the Children having 50% of links promoting their homepage, FTC also lists charity watch organizations like Guidestar and two local news channel websites. (Those two news references, by the way, were about fraudulent activities by their president--not for anything great they were doing).
Hunger Relief International only has 25% of references linking back to hungerreliefinternational.org (again, as financial and charity work references), also lists charity watch groups like Guidestar, and then follows with links to CNN, Forbes, and two separate non-profits.
I have no part with HRI--neither as donor, volunteer, employee, contractor, member, user, etc.--but if FTC and FTH's article is passable, how does HRI get rejected?

I recently had no problem creating a 'Butterfield Schedule" file and entering it in " Butterfield Overland Mail." I recently created another commons file for "Butterfield's Stage (Celerity) Wagon," but somehow got the data code in Image and Thumbnail command to upload only the file for the text and not the drawing into "Butterfield Overland Mail." I would like to delete my recent entry into commons for Butterfield's Stage (Celerity) Wagon and start over. When I complete it, which do I copy and past on the Butterfield Overland Mail site, the "Image" or the "Thumbnail?" Thank you. Gerald T. Ahnert ( talk) 02:10, 19 October 2018 (UTC)Gerald T. Ahnert
Nick: Thank you for taking the time to help out with suggestions for the dilemma concerning the possible deletion of the Time Schedule. A coincidence may solve the problem. I have written many articles and reports concerning Butterfield's Overland Mail Company and was requested by the California Department of Parks and Recreation to contribute articles on the subject to their site. I have written two articles about Butterfield for them. About an hour ago I was on their site to see if there might be more information to contribute. I was looking at what they have for Butterfield's Overland Mail Company and lo and behold I came across an article on their site about that same exact time schedule. They show a copy of it and even have "View and Download Overland Mail Company Timetable" for the general public. I just sent this info to the Commons and hope this will solve the problem by using the California Park Service site. Probably all I will have to do is change the reference. Here it is if you would like to give a look: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=25066 Thanks again for going out of your way to help.

@Nick You are right that "out of copyright" material republished cannot claim new copyright but there is a hook to that especially evident in images ... if i publish a map from 1858 for instance having drawn an arrow pointing to something upon it. that image becomes a new unique thing and thus copyrightable. so i can understand pedants good people being squeamish about the use of out of copyright from an in copyright source. Hopefully the publication credited source of item (so it could be acquired directly) or a library search might find that or another copy, again, allowing for a cleaner acquisition. --

First, i assume the following:
thus to do what I'm thinking about I would need another editor at a minimum.
I have a non-familial relative Named Mike Jones. He is a musician and the lead singer of "Seven Reasons" which has two self published albums (hard rock genre) and a small following in the SW Michigan/North Indiana (USA) area. (a few other avid fans also)
there has been a lot of stir about both the band, Seven Reasons , and it's Lead Singer Mike Jones , but so far it's just warming the pot, with little boil. I'm not sure that Seven Reasonsis significant enough for a page but after I tried to refollow Mike only to later find i had written the Rapper of the same name, i wanted to add a dis-ambiguous page entry.

ColinFine thank you both for prompt reply. checking WP:NMUSIC i have to admit he may be close but not yet, albums were effectively "self published" - he has had a few local radio appearances none national - closest he has gotten to qualifying is he was rejected for The Voice this year. if his audition is broadcast, will see soon, he might qualify for a dis-ambiguous page link to the shows page as having participated, but definitely not an artist page... at least not yet :-).

Hi, I created a draft page for an energy company, New Fortress Energy. Here: /info/en/?search=Draft:New_Fortress_Energy. It was rejected for not being worthy of a Wiki page. However, the company operates around the world and was founded by American billionaire Wes Edens (who has a wiki page himself) and is associated with an investment firm that also has a wiki page). I've added a Wall Street Journal article and a few others, added reference to Edens. But I wonder if there is more I should do prior to re-submitting for consideration. Thanks for the help.

There is some of my artwork (drawings & photos) on Wikipedia that are being falsely represented as someone else’s work. Wikipedia contributor Dandlyin is using artwork drawn by me and claiming it as his own. I will tackle these one at a time. The first is in Wikipedia’s Dragoon Springs, Station. The station plan at the bottom of the site is my drawing. Look in the lower right-hand corner and you will see my name (very small—so Dandlyin probably didn’t notice) “Drawn by Gerald T. Ahnert.” In the copyright information under is the following: Description: Station plan showing the sleeping rooms of the Butterfield employees during the massacre of September 9, 1858. Date: 1 January 2013 Source: Own work (Note for above. As you can see this is not his own work.) Author: Dandlyin (Question to help me out since I am a newbie to Wikipedia. Does “Author” mean the one who created the artwork or the author of this contribution to the commons?)
There are two others on the site that he does attribute to me in the “Description” and gives a date that I created them as 2013—which is correct. But to get around the copyright requirement of them not being in the public domain, Dandlyin states that the “Source” is his “Own Work” and that the Author is “Dandlyin.” Why was this accepted—is there something I don’t understand? Under this heading is the statement why this can be used under the copyright regulations: “I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following license.” As can be seen this is not true—I am the copyright holder. This also is true for the photo of the stage station and the other drawing. As a newbie, I am trying to keep an open mind and may not understand the situation for the above. I am flattered that there are many references in Wikipedia to my work. I want the public to have the true history concerning Butterfield’s Overland Mail Company, for which this stage station was a part. To keep the peace, I would like to contact Dandlyin and have a civil conversation about this subject—maybe we can sort things out. But I don’t understand how I can contact the person. But first I would like your clarification and suggestions. Gerald T. Ahnert ( talk) 13:48, 23 October 2018 (UTC)Gerald T. Ahnert

I have been working on the following draft article: /info/en/?search=Draft:Matthew_Proman and it has been rejected twice now. I could really use some advice. After the first rejection, I spoke to one of the editors to try and get some insight regarding what qualifies as an independent, reliable secondary source. For example, I had a citation from the SEC that I was told didn't qualify, and that made no sense to me. But after going back and forth a bit, I resubmitted the article. It addressed the "overly positive" language, (I removed it), and had the citations that had been already IDed as meeting the independent and reliable thresholds. But then it got rejected again, and the editor's comments are a bit confusing. I understand wanting more information & citations to give the article body, but I don't understand the issue with the citations I *did* use. They were already deemed OK by a previous editor. Any insights would be appreciated. Navysaylorgirl ( talk) 21:42, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
Forbes is a major industry and finance publication in the US. To have the website of the a company that you created receive an accolade from Forbes in no small thing. It's not an award for website design or anything like that, but for content (product). The NYDN article is about a conference that was hosted by Proman. It was newsworthy because of who he got to speak at the event. Ivanka Trump, Sarah Blakely (of Spanx) and Randy Zuckerberg (of Facebook). Had nothing to do with the writer being connected in some way. That's why I took out all the Huffington Post references, because they were suspect. Since Proman was able to author his own article for Huff Po at one point, it seemed likely there was some possible connection. But there's none for the NYDN article. It was simply a noteworthy event on its own -- and one that Proman brought into being.
I do understand the need to find additional references though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Navysaylorgirl ( talk • contribs) 02:23, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

I clicked on random item in Wikidata which guided me to that article in the vietnamese wikipedia: vi:Helichrysum_mundtii The article refers to the english wikipedia, but the article doesn't exist: en:Helichrysum_mundtii. The language in Wikidata was only set for Vietnamese in Wikidata. How should I proceed?

I recently had no problem creating a 'Butterfield Schedule" file and entering it in " Butterfield Overland Mail." I recently created another commons file for "Butterfield's Stage (Celerity) Wagon," but somehow got the data code in Image and Thumbnail command to upload only the file for the text and not the drawing into "Butterfield Overland Mail." I would like to delete my recent entry into commons for Butterfield's Stage (Celerity) Wagon and start over. When I complete it, which do I copy and past on the Butterfield Overland Mail site, the "Image" or the "Thumbnail?" Thank you. Gerald T. Ahnert ( talk) 02:10, 19 October 2018 (UTC)Gerald T. Ahnert
Nick: Thank you for taking the time to help out with suggestions for the dilemma concerning the possible deletion of the Time Schedule. A coincidence may solve the problem. I have written many articles and reports concerning Butterfield's Overland Mail Company and was requested by the California Department of Parks and Recreation to contribute articles on the subject to their site. I have written two articles about Butterfield for them. About an hour ago I was on their site to see if there might be more information to contribute. I was looking at what they have for Butterfield's Overland Mail Company and lo and behold I came across an article on their site about that same exact time schedule. They show a copy of it and even have "View and Download Overland Mail Company Timetable" for the general public. I just sent this info to the Commons and hope this will solve the problem by using the California Park Service site. Probably all I will have to do is change the reference. Here it is if you would like to give a look: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=25066 Thanks again for going out of your way to help. It seems I have a long learning cycle to complete but I will eventually get there. Gerald T. Ahnert ( talk) 00:56, 22 October 2018 (UTC)Gerald T. Ahnert
@Nick You are right that "out of copyright" material republished cannot claim new copyright but there is a hook to that especially evident in images ... if i publish a map from 1858 for instance having drawn an arrow pointing to something upon it. that image becomes a new unique thing and thus copyrightable. so i can understand pedants good people being squeamish about the use of out of copyright from an in copyright source. Hopefully the publication credited source of item (so it could be acquired directly) or a library search might find that or another copy, again, allowing for a cleaner acquisition. --

First, i assume the following:
thus to do what I'm thinking about I would need another editor at a minimum.
I have a non-familial relative Named Mike Jones. He is a musician and the lead singer of "Seven Reasons" which has two self published albums (hard rock genre) and a small following in the SW Michigan/North Indiana (USA) area. (a few other avid fans also)
there has been a lot of stir about both the band, Seven Reasons , and it's Lead Singer Mike Jones , but so far it's just warming the pot, with little boil. I'm not sure that Seven Reasonsis significant enough for a page but after I tried to refollow Mike only to later find i had written the Rapper of the same name, i wanted to add a dis-ambiguous page entry.
suggestions? or Volunteers? -- Qazwiz ( talk) 21:12, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
@
RudolfRed:
ColinFine thank you both for prompt reply. checking WP:NMUSIC i have to admit he may be close but not yet, albums were effectively "self published" - he has had a few local radio appearances none national - closest he has gotten to qualifying is he was rejected for The Voice this year. if his audition is broadcast, will see soon, he might qualify for a dis-ambiguous page link to the shows page as having participated, but definitely not an artist page... at least not yet :-).

Hi, I created a draft page for an energy company, New Fortress Energy. Here: /info/en/?search=Draft:New_Fortress_Energy. It was rejected for not being worthy of a Wiki page. However, the company operates around the world and was founded by American billionaire Wes Edens (who has a wiki page himself) and is associated with an investment firm that also has a wiki page). I've added a Wall Street Journal article and a few others, added reference to Edens. But I wonder if there is more I should do prior to re-submitting for consideration. Thanks for the help. It's the first page I'm attempting to create. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FactCheckerPNW ( talk • contribs) 19:21, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

There is some of my artwork (drawings & photos) on Wikipedia that are being falsely represented as someone else’s work. Wikipedia contributor Dandlyin is using artwork drawn by me and claiming it as his own. I will tackle these one at a time. The first is in Wikipedia’s Dragoon Springs, Station. The station plan at the bottom of the site is my drawing. Look in the lower right-hand corner and you will see my name (very small—so Dandlyin probably didn’t notice) “Drawn by Gerald T. Ahnert.” In the copyright information under is the following: Description: Station plan showing the sleeping rooms of the Butterfield employees during the massacre of September 9, 1858. Date: 1 January 2013 Source: Own work (Note for above. As you can see this is not his own work.) Author: Dandlyin (Question to help me out since I am a newbie to Wikipedia. Does “Author” mean the one who created the artwork or the author of this contribution to the commons?)
There are two others on the site that he does attribute to me in the “Description” and gives a date that I created them as 2013—which is correct. But to get around the copyright requirement of them not being in the public domain, Dandlyin states that the “Source” is his “Own Work” and that the Author is “Dandlyin.” Why was this accepted—is there something I don’t understand? Under this heading is the statement why this can be used under the copyright regulations: “I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following license.” As can be seen this is not true—I am the copyright holder. This also is true for the photo of the stage station and the other drawing. As a newbie, I am trying to keep an open mind and may not understand the situation for the above. I am flattered that there are many references in Wikipedia to my work. I want the public to have the true history concerning Butterfield’s Overland Mail Company, for which this stage station was a part. To keep the peace, I would like to contact Dandlyin and have a civil conversation about this subject—maybe we can sort things out. But I don’t understand how I can contact the person. But first I would like your clarification and suggestions. Gerald T. Ahnert ( talk) 13:48, 23 October 2018 (UTC)Gerald T. Ahnert

I have been working on the following draft article: /info/en/?search=Draft:Matthew_Proman and it has been rejected twice now. I could really use some advice. After the first rejection, I spoke to one of the editors to try and get some insight regarding what qualifies as an independent, reliable secondary source. For example, I had a citation from the SEC that I was told didn't qualify, and that made no sense to me. But after going back and forth a bit, I resubmitted the article. It addressed the "overly positive" language, (I removed it), and had the citations that had been already IDed as meeting the independent and reliable thresholds. But then it got rejected again, and the editor's comments are a bit confusing. I understand wanting more information & citations to give the article body, but I don't understand the issue with the citations I *did* use. They were already deemed OK by a previous editor. Any insights would be appreciated. Navysaylorgirl ( talk) 21:42, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
Forbes is a major industry and finance publication in the US. To have the website of the a company that you created receive an accolade from Forbes in no small thing. It's not an award for website design or anything like that, but for content (product). The NYDN article is about a conference that was hosted by Proman. It was newsworthy because of who he got to speak at the event. Ivanka Trump, Sarah Blakely (of Spanx) and Randy Zuckerberg (of Facebook). Had nothing to do with the writer being connected in some way. That's why I took out all the Huffington Post references, because they were suspect. Since Proman was able to author his own article for Huff Po at one point, it seemed likely there was some possible connection. But there's none for the NYDN article. It was simply a noteworthy event on its own -- and one that Proman brought into being.
I do understand the need to find additional references though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Navysaylorgirl ( talk • contribs) 02:23, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
