Edmund Ser[edit]

Hey, you did a great job with Edmund Ser. You should submit it to WP:DYK to get highlighted on Wikipedia's main page. Let me know if you need help.--v/r - T P 15:44, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think i just realized Im supposed to reply here, but I ended replying on your page instead. I don't think I can submit it to WP:DYK yet, its neutrality has been disputed and too much weasel words have been used? This article is intended as a biography and definitely not a plug for a company. Would really appreciate all the help I can get. Its my first attempt on wikipedia. Thank you so much for reviewing it! Asiareports (talk) 03:42, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, very straight-forward article. Yes, a lil' more can definitely be done to brighten up things here and there. But overall, a really good job. Graeme.greg (talk) 03:45, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback[edit]

I have replied to your request for feedback at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback/2011 June 2. I second the above suggestion that you should try and nominate Edmund Ser for Did You Know? at the suggestions board after the issues are sorted out. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:55, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have replied there. Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:06, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted images[edit]

Asiareports - I've been watching commons and I dont think you understand that the images you've been uploading are copyrighted. You've been getting them off of websites where the copyright is clearly displayed at the bottom of the page. We can't use those here. They'll be deleted from commons pretty soon. When it comes to living people, you pretty much have to personally take a photo or find a photo released under the creative commons license. Simply downloading it from another website and uploading it here won't work. Sorry.--v/r - T P 17:55, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks for the guidance. But, yes I have noted that, thats why I took the trouble to take pictures of the hardcopy publications. None of these new pictures are on the internet. So can it still be on the page? Asiareports (talk) 01:25, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures of publications won't work either. It has to be your own picture of Edmund Ser himself. Anything else is infringing on another photographer's copyright to his artistic work. I also came by to let you know that I've gone ahead and nominated this article for a DYK. If it is approved and selected, it will appear on Wikipedia's main page in a matter of days. You'll get a message here on your talk page if that happens.--v/r - T P 01:43, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the nomination, and for your time and effort for this article. Really appreciate it =D Also, with regards to pictures, is there any way i can put the pictures up then? Ive viewed a few wikipedia pages, and there are pictures from other websites. What can I do? Asiareports (talk) 03:02, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because he is still living, it severely limits what we can do. You can try searching flickr, but you need to make sure the photographer released the photo under the creative commons license. You can search for websites, but they must be released under a license that is compatible with ours. Short of that, you'd have to personally take the photo. It's the only way, sorry.--v/r - T P 03:09, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ohhh.. Okay okay. Sighs, then we can't have any pictures for the page. =S But as for the pictures of the models on the catwalk, since i have some that i took before, can i put it up under the wikimedia as my own work? but im afraid the wikimedians wont believe me haha Asiareports (talk) 03:18, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If it is your own work, then yes you can. Go to the Commons village pump and explain that you didn't understand before but you do now and these new pictures were taken by you.--v/r - T P 13:20, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edmund Ser DYK[edit]

This one seems almost good to go, but requires a few more citations--check out T:DYK for details. Thanks for this thorough and well-sourced contribution! Khazar (talk) 16:10, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Will do so =)Asiareports (talk) 11:14, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Edmund Ser[edit]

On 13 June 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Edmund Ser, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Edmund Ser, owner of Malaysian fashion labels Edmund Ser, Spade, and SER, was a guest judge on Project Runway Malaysia? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Edmund Ser DYK[edit]

Sorry just read your note about this. Do you still need help? --Aichikawa (talk) 19:38, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, its alright. But if you feel there are things to be amended on the page, please do not hesitate to! Would appreciate all the help we can get! Thank you! =)Asiareports (talk) 03:11, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edmond Ser - Request for suggestions of improvement . Wikiproject:Biography: Requesting an assessment[edit]

A request for help on improvement was made on "Requesting assessment, Wikiproject:Biography.

Here are my copy edit suggestions: remove links to facebook & twitter, Ser's website probably has links to these sources. The External links appear to be more for advertising rather than being encyclopedic. Maybe remove Hobby section entirely, as it reads as a fan site.

Remove brackets from dates in section titles.

Too many sections with like kind information, consolidate. Combine sections: Fashion shows - there are two sections with the same topic. Integrate Hobby section into Personal life. Fellow designers integrate with Judging and then integrate into "Fashion design career." In other words, try to consolidate same kind information with other same kind information. Simplify. Life (personal history) and then Career (fashion design). The article jumps around too much from section to section.

When editing text, ask: is this encyclopedic information (something you would read in an encyclopedia) or is this promotional or advertising? If it is the latter, then reword or remove. Try to consolidate one sentence and two sentence paragraphs into other paragraphs with the same topic. No need to have a one sentence paragraph when it is the same subject as the paragraph above. The only exception would be in the lead (introduction), as I would have one sentence and then make a paragraph break between "Malaysia." and "He." Change "He" to "Ser"

Unlink Malaysia, it is a common known place or if you keep one link, unlink all of the others. This is in the MOS (Manual of Style). Link a term once, and don't link common terms or terms that do not add to the article's content.

These are only copy edit suggestions from my point of view, and others may have another opinion. Hope this helps. Gmcbjames (talk) 17:29, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Melofield Nursery & Landscape Contractor Ltd.[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Melofield Nursery & Landscape Contractor Ltd. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. PK T(alk) 19:37, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Status and Advice[edit]

A Wikipedia article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.

If you have the material, then recreate the article. But the material as submitted showed no indication of possible importance. DGG ( talk ) 00:06, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 3[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Edmund Ser, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page TV3. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:26, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edmund Ser[edit]

Can you clarify your interest/relationship to Edmund Ser? You've consistently, for over 9 years, only ever edited this one article. What, exactly, is your motivation for this one article?--v/r - T P 23:04, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
