Hello! How can I get permission to create new pages/translate articles from Russian into English? Now once I try to publish the translation I get the message "An error occurred while publishing the translation. Please try to publish the page again. Error: You do not have permission to create new pages." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariaafp ( talk • contribs) 13:34, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
Thank you! I added some links and the page has a lot of references. Unfortunately I cannot understand how to make citations in the translation itself.
Dear Teahouse users,
I was working on the article "Modern Stochastics: Theory and Application". It was accepted on 7 March 2018, and deleted on 28 April 2018 (information on that can be found here). I asked the administrator about ways of improving the article ( here), but authorization (account absence) problem appered. It has been a while since my question. So, should I wait for the answer from the administrator? Or are there other ways of getting the article back quicker?
Many thanks for your help. -- 91.202.131.87 ( talk) 15:56, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
When I visit the "View History" tab of an article I see all the edits that have been made. Perhaps I am reading a person's biography. Is it possible to see just edits made to the section on "Education"?

My edit to the Brent W. Coon page was reverted because it wasn't seen as "constructive." The sources I used were from a reputable newspaper that spoke about Brent Coon's community involvement by using his firm to provided resources for wounded veterans. How are we not allowed to add edits having to do with community involvement? This is a Wikipedia page that speaks directly about Brent W. Coon and should reflect what Brent W. Coon does on a daily basis, whether that involves his law firm, family life, or companies he owns.
Dr. Harold Keith Box, Professor of Periodontology at the University of Toronto, was the Dental Scientist who identified the real causes and treatment of Periodontitis (Pyorrhea) in 1924. Should he be mentioned in this article?

Hello! I am wondering about how to handle links within an article. As an example, I looked up "Document Management System", and in the last section, "Document management software", there are several hyperlinked terms that I think are totally unnecessary (chances are there are more throughout the article, but I'm just dealing with this one section). "Electronic", "businesses", and "industry" are hyperlinked and I don't think this adds anything to the article itself. Is it a reasonable edit to go in and unlink these terms? I see this a lot, and I often want to apply this kind of edit. Please provide some input on this. Jkgree ( talk) 18:46, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Kafr Hassan Dawood From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Kafr Hassan Dawood
Region Lower Egypt, VIIIth Lower Egyptian nome Coordinates 30°30′59″N 31°51′0″E30.51666°N 31.850000°E Type Cemetery, settlement History Periods Dates Predynastic, Protodynastic, Early Dynastic, Late Period, Ptolemaic, Late Roman Period 1. 3,500 - 2,750 BC 2. 640 BC – AD 450 Kafr Hassan Dawood (also known as Tell Hassan Daud or Ezbet Hassan Dawud) is an important archaeological site in Northern Egypt. It is located in the Wadi Tumilat, 50 miles (80 km) east-north-east of Cairo in the eastern Nile Delta. Kafr Hassan Dawood (KHD) is particularly known for a very large cemetery dating to the Predynastic, Protodynastic and Early Dynastic periods, in addition to some Late Period to late Roman Era cemeteries and habitation. The site covers approximately 38.5 hectares (95 acres).[1][2][3] Contents • 1Archaeological history • 2The Settlements • 3The cemeteries • 4Evaluations • 5References Archaeological history[edit] The Local Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) had been aware of a large site at this location since 1977. A proposed development project in the area let to a series of test pits being dug. The results led to the site being declared archaeological land in 1989, the land reclamation project being rejected accordingly. From 1989 until 1995 the site was excavated by the local SCA. The site was re-evaluated by SCA staff and visiting scholars from University College London (UCL). A joint UCL/SCA project took place between 1995 and 1999, with a key emphasis on bioarchaeology[1]. In 2017 the site was placed on the Ministry of Antiquities’ list of endangered sites, due to agricultural encroachment, development and rising water levels. Test excavations in Spring 2018 confirmed that the site still held great potential. Full-scale excavations are due to resume in 2019. The settlements[edit] The early periods are solely represented by funerary remains. The site was first used as habitation during the Late Period; the archaeological remains include a series of mudbrick-circled pits and silos, located towards the east of the main cemetery. However, relatively little research has been carried out on these materials. The site was resettled in the Roman Period, and significant architectural remains are located towards the western edge of the site. This, similarly, has been relatively underexplored. Given the size of the earlier cemetery (see below) it is likely to have served a large settlement; however, this has not yet been located and probably lies beyond the north-east border of the cemetery.[1][2][3] The cemeteries[edit] Previous excavations have recovered a total of 1111 graves from the cemeteries. Over half (769) are Predynastic to Early Dynastic (3400-2750 BC), the earliest dating from Naqada IID, and later exemplars from Naqada IIID (Dynasty II). A further 352 interments dating from the Late Period to the late Roman period have also been recovered. The sheer number and generally high standard of preservation – along with the associated artefacts and grave goods – make this one of the most important early cemeteries ever discovered in the Delta. The early graves, in particular, are of great interest to Egyptologists, archaeologists and prehistorians, because they cover the period of early state formation. They show cultural evolution and extensive regional contacts, and reveal important developments in Egyptian social organisation. [1][2][4] Grave form changed through time. The earliest (Predynastic to Early Dynastic) graves were usually oval or rectangular mudbrick-lined pits, 1.0 - 1.5m long and 0.5 - 1.0 m deep. The deceased was typically tightly flexed, head pointing towards the north, the face towards the east, and interred with utilitarian grave goods such as ceramic vessels. What are presumed to be elite tombs were much larger, and contained artefacts made from gold, semi-precious stones and copper alloy; hand-ground stone bowls were also recovered.[1][2] The two largest and most elaborate tombs – dating to the beginning of the Early Dynastic – measure 6.0 x 4.0 x 1.0 m, would have originally been covered with tumuli, probably with offering niches on the east side. Judging from grave goods, the site seems to have reached a zenith of affluence during the First Dynasty, probably due to the fact that the site sits on the trade network connecting Memphis to the South Sinai. Elite items include cosmetic palettes, bone bracelets, bifacial chert knives with integral handles, beads made of carnelian, gold and amethyst, and sundry other items of personal adornment. Some graves and items can be attributed to the reigns of specific early kings such as Ka and Narmer, whose serekhs were stamped on pottery vessels.[1][2][4][5] The Late Period to Roman era tombs are primarily simple rectangular pit graves measuring 2.0 m long and could be up to 2.0 m deep. A few contained child burials placed in large pottery amphorae. Grave goods were rare, although items of jewellery sometimes occurred, along with coins and amulets. Animal burials – primarily cattle and ovicaprines – are also present.[3] Evaluations[edit] The scale of the cemetery and the number of valuable items – especially copper pieces – indicates that Kafr Hassan Dawood was socially, economically and strategically important. The finding of the names of both Protodynastic and First Dynasty kings in the copper rich area of the south Sinai suggest that KHD was on an important artery of the interregional exchange network going between the capital region of Memphis and the south Sinai.[2][4] References[edit] 1. ^ Jump up to: a b c d e Hassan, F.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to get my first article published (
/info/en/?search=Draft:Fairytale_Brownies) but I’m struggling to understand what’s important enough to be included in the article. I was kind of basing the format/information included off a similar company's page,
Dancing Deer Baking Co..
For example, a sentence like “In 2012, the company reported using 180 to 672 pound of chocolate per day to bake an estimated three million brownies.” Do stats like this help convey the scope of the company’s size/influence? Or is it more like a “fun fact” that can come off as advertising for the company? The current draft version has a lot of information I found while researching, but I want to trim it to only what’s deemed important before resubmitting the draft. Any specific comments/advice or links to resources would be very much appreciated. Thanks! -- Evecera29 ( talk) 22:00, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

I have a question about an article I created but was declined here [ [1]]. I understood third party sources to be those who are not affiliated with the party the article is about and as for notability, texts about the subject in question. I thought the newspaper articles that I have meet those requirements. However Robert McClenon declined the article as the sources are "not in depth" and "are what the organization says about itself." ( User_talk:Robert_McClenon#Tepito_Arte_Acá) He also suggested coming here for help. If this is the case, could anyone give me an idea of that kind of information that is missing? Thank you.

Dear Teahouse friends,
I am currently writing an article about the Norwegian artist Ross Kolby but it has been declined as it does "not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
I do not understand that as I have inserted links to numerous articles about the artist in Norwegian media as well as an article in British media. The articles are not "passing mentions" but full stories about the artworks and the artist. Could you help me understand?
I was inspired by a Wikipedia article about another Norwegian artist Sverre Malling that has been accepted. Could you help me understand in what way my article is diffiret from this one?

This is the link to the Wikipedia articles, about a railway station in India, when i edit article he says that...
This description is standard for railway stations in India. It appears in more than three hundred articles.
my argument is that, this line shouldn't be written in this Wikipedia articles...
The platforms are not well sheltered. It lacks many facilities including water and sanitation.
when i delete these lines he says.. these and revert back these lines
This a description for 500 other railway station. A reference is required to delete this text.

"Pokemon Global Link" redirects to Pokemon Black and White and I don't think that it should for several reasons. For one thing, the Pokemon Global Link is its own separate service that is used in other Pokemon video games and is not exclusive to Pokemon Black and White. I would also argue that it qualifies as notable, several verifiable sources mention its existence or have articles about it itself.
Examples:
There's also 32 million results for the search term "pokemon global link" through Google. Clovermoss ( talk) 21:55, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Hey everyone,
unfortunately my article /info/en/?search=Draft:Eclipse_Theia got declined again. I submitted it several times and it always gets rejected by the same person. Of course the editor had some good reasons to decline the article, especially the first times. But by now I changed many things and I don't understand why it is still being declined. It is based on 16 independent sources and still it says that the article is not notable enough for Wikipedia. When I try to get in contact with the reviewer, I don't get an answer anymore. He stated before that he doesn't like supporting contributors who are getting paid and of course it is understandable. Anyways I disclosed my job information and would like now to contribute a relevant topic to Wikipedia. I would be thankful, if one of you could read through my article and let me know, if I can improve anything and how I can get the article published. Thanks in advance ChristinFrohne ( talk) 07:44, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
Hey Nick Moyes, thanks for your feedback. Let me answer your questions: 1. Relationship to Eclipse: Eclipse Theia belongs to the Eclipse Foundation and it licensed under it. The Eclipse Foundation "is an independent, not-for-profit corporation that acts as a steward of the Eclipse open source software development community."see Wikipedia entry
2. Client Fee: As stated in my profile, I am an employee of Typefox. The IDE I am talking about, is an open-source project, so there are no monetary advantages by publishing it here. And yes Typefox took part in developing the IDE.
3. Draft:Typefox: I agree with the feedback, that I got for this article. The company is yet not relevant enough to have its own Wikipedia entry. That is why I dropped that entry.
4. Stating notability & reliable sources: IBM is stating that their IDE is based on Theia ( https://developer.ibm.com/mainframe/2018/12/13/wazi-a-web-ide-for-z-open-development-powered-by-zowe/), The Cloud Shell code editor from Google is using Theia ( https://cloud.google.com/shell/docs/features), Eclipse Che (which also has an article on Wikipedia) is changing its dev environment to Eclipse Theia ( https://www.heise.de/developer/meldung/Eclipse-Che-7-wechselt-die-Entwicklungsumgebung-4301760.html), according to WP:NSOFTWARE the sources have to "indicate that it stands out from the crowd" - source claims that it belongs to the top 3 IDE for Javascript https://jaxenter.com/javascript-superstars-report-154573.html, also said on WP:NSOFTWARE: "It is reasonable to allow relatively informal sources for free and open-source software, if significance can be shown." https://che.eclipse.org/eclipse-che-7-is-coming-and-its-really-hot-1-4-64d79b75ca02, https://che.eclipse.org/eclipse-che-7-is-coming-and-its-really-hot-1-4-64d79b75ca02, https://jaxenter.de/theia-ide-desktop-cloud-57498
I hope I was able to answer to all your questions. Do you still think that Eclipse Theia doesn't meet the notability criteria? Any concrete suggestions for me to improve? I am appreciating your honest help ChristinFrohne ( talk) 12:53, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Region Lower Egypt, VIIIth Lower Egyptian nome Coordinates 30°30′59″N 31°51′0″E30.51666°N 31.850000°E Type Cemetery, settlement History Periods Dates Predynastic, Protodynastic, Early Dynastic, Late Period, Ptolemaic, Late Roman Period 1. 3,500 - 2,750 BC 2. 640 BC – AD 450 Kafr Hassan Dawood (also known as Tell Hassan Daud or Ezbet Hassan Dawud) is an important archaeological site in Northern Egypt. It is located in the Wadi Tumilat, 50 miles (80 km) east-north-east of Cairo in the eastern Nile Delta. Kafr Hassan Dawood (KHD) is particularly known for a very large cemetery dating to the Predynastic, Protodynastic and Early Dynastic periods, in addition to some Late Period to late Roman Era cemeteries and habitation. The site covers approximately 38.5 hectares (95 acres).[1][2][3] Contents • 1Archaeological history • 2The Settlements • 3The cemeteries • 4Evaluations • 5References Archaeological history[edit] The Local Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) had been aware of a large site at this location since 1977. A proposed development project in the area let to a series of test pits being dug. The results led to the site being declared archaeological land in 1989, the land reclamation project being rejected accordingly. From 1989 until 1995 the site was excavated by the local SCA. The site was re-evaluated by SCA staff and visiting scholars from University College London (UCL). A joint UCL/SCA project took place between 1995 and 1999, with a key emphasis on bioarchaeology[1]. In 2017 the site was placed on the Ministry of Antiquities’ list of endangered sites, due to agricultural encroachment, development and rising water levels. Test excavations in Spring 2018 confirmed that the site still held great potential. Full-scale excavations are due to resume in 2019. The settlements[edit] The early periods are solely represented by funerary remains. The site was first used as habitation during the Late Period; the archaeological remains include a series of mudbrick-circled pits and silos, located towards the east of the main cemetery. However, relatively little research has been carried out on these materials. The site was resettled in the Roman Period, and significant architectural remains are located towards the western edge of the site. This, similarly, has been relatively underexplored. Given the size of the earlier cemetery (see below) it is likely to have served a large settlement; however, this has not yet been located and probably lies beyond the north-east border of the cemetery.[1][2][3] The cemeteries[edit] Previous excavations have recovered a total of 1111 graves from the cemeteries. Over half (769) are Predynastic to Early Dynastic (3400-2750 BC), the earliest dating from Naqada IID, and later exemplars from Naqada IIID (Dynasty II). A further 352 interments dating from the Late Period to the late Roman period have also been recovered. The sheer number and generally high standard of preservation – along with the associated artefacts and grave goods – make this one of the most important early cemeteries ever discovered in the Delta. The early graves, in particular, are of great interest to Egyptologists, archaeologists and prehistorians, because they cover the period of early state formation. They show cultural evolution and extensive regional contacts, and reveal important developments in Egyptian social organisation. [1][2][4] Grave form changed through time. The earliest (Predynastic to Early Dynastic) graves were usually oval or rectangular mudbrick-lined pits, 1.0 - 1.5m long and 0.5 - 1.0 m deep. The deceased was typically tightly flexed, head pointing towards the north, the face towards the east, and interred with utilitarian grave goods such as ceramic vessels. What are presumed to be elite tombs were much larger, and contained artefacts made from gold, semi-precious stones and copper alloy; hand-ground stone bowls were also recovered.[1][2] The two largest and most elaborate tombs – dating to the beginning of the Early Dynastic – measure 6.0 x 4.0 x 1.0 m, would have originally been covered with tumuli, probably with offering niches on the east side. Judging from grave goods, the site seems to have reached a zenith of affluence during the First Dynasty, probably due to the fact that the site sits on the trade network connecting Memphis to the South Sinai. Elite items include cosmetic palettes, bone bracelets, bifacial chert knives with integral handles, beads made of carnelian, gold and amethyst, and sundry other items of personal adornment. Some graves and items can be attributed to the reigns of specific early kings such as Ka and Narmer, whose serekhs were stamped on pottery vessels.[1][2][4][5] The Late Period to Roman era tombs are primarily simple rectangular pit graves measuring 2.0 m long and could be up to 2.0 m deep. A few contained child burials placed in large pottery amphorae. Grave goods were rare, although items of jewellery sometimes occurred, along with coins and amulets. Animal burials – primarily cattle and ovicaprines – are also present.[3] Evaluations[edit] The scale of the cemetery and the number of valuable items – especially copper pieces – indicates that Kafr Hassan Dawood was socially, economically and strategically important. The finding of the names of both Protodynastic and First Dynasty kings in the copper rich area of the south Sinai suggest that KHD was on an important artery of the interregional exchange network going between the capital region of Memphis and the south Sinai.[2][4] References[edit] 1. ^ Jump up to: a b c d e Hassan, F.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to get my first article published (
/info/en/?search=Draft:Fairytale_Brownies) but I’m struggling to understand what’s important enough to be included in the article. I was kind of basing the format/information included off a similar company's page,
Dancing Deer Baking Co..
For example, a sentence like “In 2012, the company reported using 180 to 672 pound of chocolate per day to bake an estimated three million brownies.” Do stats like this help convey the scope of the company’s size/influence? Or is it more like a “fun fact” that can come off as advertising for the company? The current draft version has a lot of information I found while researching, but I want to trim it to only what’s deemed important before resubmitting the draft. Any specific comments/advice or links to resources would be very much appreciated. Thanks! -- Evecera29 ( talk) 22:00, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi I wanted to ask how I lock a page. I tried to edit Howie Long's height from 6' 5" to 6' 4" because he was measured 6' 4 1/4" at the combine but it was changed back to 6' 5". Is there a way I can lock the page so no one can edit the information because it is accurate?
Thank you,

When a draft page has been rejected, is it better to resubmit with a (hopefully corrected) full revision or suggest small edits/additions as one might if it was a live page? Can you edit piecemeal to a draft or only something in the public space? Thanks for your time. GGSloth ( talk) 22:49, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

GGSloth, I'm guessing it's not intentional, but rather an ingrained behavior; your reply above is so laden with marketing-speak it sounds like you're trying to sell us a used car. If you cannot communicate semi-privately (meaning not for publication in the actual encyclopedia) without marketing overtones, I might suggest you are not the one to be writing this article.

Dear Wikipedians,
I have joined the community and look forward to make notable contributions to the encycopledia.
While writing my first text on my user page and talk page, I experienced issues with formatting. Instead of formatting and styling my page, it simply shows a link named template.
Could someone please help me out? Thanks.

I have a question about an article I created but was declined here [ [1]]. I understood third party sources to be those who are not affiliated with the party the article is about and as for notability, texts about the subject in question. I thought the newspaper articles that I have meet those requirements. However Robert McClenon declined the article as the sources are "not in depth" and "are what the organization says about itself." ( User_talk:Robert_McClenon#Tepito_Arte_Acá) He also suggested coming here for help. If this is the case, could anyone give me an idea of that kind of information that is missing? Thank you. HicksW ( talk) 21:33, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
The draft in question is Draft:Tepito_Arte_Acá. Do any other experienced editors want to comment on the draft and either on what the author can do to improve it or whether I should have accepted it? Robert McClenon ( talk) 19:17, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
Dear Teahouse friends,
I am currently writing an article about the Norwegian artist Ross Kolby but it has been declined as it does "not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
I do not understand that as I have inserted links to numerous articles about the artist in Norwegian media as well as an article in British media. The articles are not "passing mentions" but full stories about the artworks and the artist. Could you help me understand?
I was inspired by a Wikipedia article about another Norwegian artist Sverre Malling that has been accepted. Could you help me understand in what way my article is diffiret from this one?
Best regards,
Constituto.

This is the link to the Wikipedia articles, about a railway station in India, when i edit article he says that...
This description is standard for railway stations in India. It appears in more than three hundred articles.
my argument is that, this line shouldn't be written in this Wikipedia articles...
The platforms are not well sheltered. It lacks many facilities including water and sanitation.
when i delete these lines he says.. these and revert back these lines
This a description for 500 other railway station. A reference is required to delete this text.
Is he correct ?? Rocky 02:15, 11 February 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocky 734 ( talk • contribs)

Hello,
We fixed the wikipedia page for Bonetti Kozerski and I hit "publish changes" back on Jan. 22, 2019. I logged back in today to see if the wikipedia page has finally been accepted and published, but I still see it in the drafts. When will it be up for review again of the new changes?

On List of Ackley Bridge characters, the spacing on series 1, 2 and 3 is different, and I can’t seem to fix it. The "1" column appears to be double the size of the other columns, and it looks odd. Although it’s not a huge problem, it’s really bugging me that they’re not the same size.

The page about Hun Sen is not objective and is written by anti-Hun Sen (CNRP)-supporters. Can that page be cleared and locked, so that it does not look like Wikipedia is trying to defame a public person?
Also be advised that many of the sources mentioned are from news-media that CNRP controls and are generally not regarded as trustworthy.
I don't really care how angry people are, as long as they are able to keep their personal interests and agendas out of Wikipedia.

What does one do when Wikipedia has published incorrect data? There are two biographies that contain misinformation - Madame C.J. Walker and Annie Malone. There are many verifiable sources that will support my contention, including videos, books and museum exhibits. How does one go about contesting biographical information published on Wikipedia?

"Pokemon Global Link" redirects to Pokemon Black and White and I don't think that it should for several reasons. For one thing, the Pokemon Global Link is its own separate service that is used in other Pokemon video games and is not exclusive to Pokemon Black and White. I would also argue that it qualifies as notable, several verifiable sources mention its existence or have articles about it itself.
Examples:
There's also 32 million results for the search term "pokemon global link" through Google. Clovermoss ( talk) 21:55, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
Even if there shouldn't be an article on it, I don't think it should be redirected to Pokemon Black and White. Clovermoss ( talk) 22:05, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
Hey everyone,
unfortunately my article /info/en/?search=Draft:Eclipse_Theia got declined again. I submitted it several times and it always gets rejected by the same person. Of course the editor had some good reasons to decline the article, especially the first times. But by now I changed many things and I don't understand why it is still being declined. It is based on 16 independent sources and still it says that the article is not notable enough for Wikipedia. When I try to get in contact with the reviewer, I don't get an answer anymore. He stated before that he doesn't like supporting contributors who are getting paid and of course it is understandable. Anyways I disclosed my job information and would like now to contribute a relevant topic to Wikipedia. I would be thankful, if one of you could read through my article and let me know, if I can improve anything and how I can get the article published. Thanks in advance ChristinFrohne ( talk) 07:44, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
Hey Nick Moyes, thanks for your feedback. Let me answer your questions: 1. Relationship to Eclipse: Eclipse Theia belongs to the Eclipse Foundation and it licensed under it. The Eclipse Foundation "is an independent, not-for-profit corporation that acts as a steward of the Eclipse open source software development community."see Wikipedia entry
2. Client Fee: As stated in my profile, I am an employee of Typefox. The IDE I am talking about, is an open-source project, so there are no monetary advantages by publishing it here. And yes Typefox took part in developing the IDE.
3. Draft:Typefox: I agree with the feedback, that I got for this article. The company is yet not relevant enough to have its own Wikipedia entry. That is why I dropped that entry.
4. Stating notability & reliable sources: IBM is stating that their IDE is based on Theia ( https://developer.ibm.com/mainframe/2018/12/13/wazi-a-web-ide-for-z-open-development-powered-by-zowe/), The Cloud Shell code editor from Google is using Theia ( https://cloud.google.com/shell/docs/features), Eclipse Che (which also has an article on Wikipedia) is changing its dev environment to Eclipse Theia ( https://www.heise.de/developer/meldung/Eclipse-Che-7-wechselt-die-Entwicklungsumgebung-4301760.html), according to WP:NSOFTWARE the sources have to "indicate that it stands out from the crowd" - source claims that it belongs to the top 3 IDE for Javascript https://jaxenter.com/javascript-superstars-report-154573.html, also said on WP:NSOFTWARE: "It is reasonable to allow relatively informal sources for free and open-source software, if significance can be shown." https://che.eclipse.org/eclipse-che-7-is-coming-and-its-really-hot-1-4-64d79b75ca02, https://che.eclipse.org/eclipse-che-7-is-coming-and-its-really-hot-1-4-64d79b75ca02, https://jaxenter.de/theia-ide-desktop-cloud-57498
I hope I was able to answer to all your questions. Do you still think that Eclipse Theia doesn't meet the notability criteria? Any concrete suggestions for me to improve? I am appreciating your honest help ChristinFrohne ( talk) 12:53, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
