Chzz is taking a break from Wikipedia. --  Chzz  ►  04:36, 27 July 2010
...sort-of. For a combination of Wiki?edia-related and IRL reasons, I'm not quite editing at my normal capacity. I may or may not be around. I hope that 'normal service' will be resumed, at some point in the future.  Chzz  ►  12:53, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Jorge Cruise

Hello--

I was told that I had 24 hours to make revisions to my proposed article. Also, A7 does not appear to be a relevant cause for dismissal in this case, as being the author of five New York Times bestselling series is--by almost any standards--an indication of importance.

While I appreciate your attempt to provide "constructive" criticism, these were concerns previously addressed by Alpha Quadrant on which I was working, until you rudely and prematurely declined my submission.

Presumably, re. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jorge Cruise

Hi there. The status given is purely procedural; it does not really mean anything. As it clearly states at the top, you can submit the article for a new review at any time. We do not delete articles for creation (unless they are copyright violations or something offensive) - you can work on the page as much as you wish.

If you are able to add references, so that the article meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to move it to the live area.

If you have any questions, please ask. Best,  Chzz  ►  05:06, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Jmtb02

Hi. I am currently working on this. I am gathering the awards now,(he has been nominated and won at least once). I am adding more onto the article every second. Mocha2007 (talk) 14:29, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Presumably re Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jmtb02

There's no rush, Mocha2007. You can resubmit for a new review at any time - whether in a few days or a few years. There is no deadline.  Chzz  ►  15:33, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Fortunately, we won't have to wait months. I have gathered plenty information, should finish in less than three weeks (1.5-2ish). Mocha2007 (talk) 03:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Maurizio Bolognini

Chaz, I did changes you recommended (change the references to inline citations). Thank you again!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurizio_Bolognini

OK, that looks better. You can always ask for more feedback; see also WP:DEVELOP. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  15:35, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

thank you Chzz, is it possible now to remove the template? and what does it mean "once the page has been reviewed by someone"? could you do it or i have to ask for another feedback ? véronique --V.fanis1 (talk) 18:29, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

It's a bit hard for me to check the whole thing, with all the sources offline. The main question is, is it all actually verifiable? For example, it says Maurizio Bolognini was born in Brescia, Italy. and at the end of that paragraph, the reference is "Bolognini, M., Democrazia elettronica. Rome: Carocci, 2001." So - I think (from Googling) this is a book. It helps if you can give more details, and assuming I got the right thing, I've added some - so please see this edit. I tried to find details of the book, and put them in, but I am unclear; is it published by "Carocci editore S.p.A"? If I want to check it, how can I obtain a copy?

For more information on how to use the citation template, see template:citation and User:chzz/help/refs.

We need to ensure that all the specific facts are in the sources. Does that book actually state that he was born in Brescia?

Also, that would be a primary source, as it is written by the subject. So great care is needed, in using it as a reference for anything other than basic facts.

For example, it goes on to state that he studied urban planning and social science at the University of Birmingham, UK (MSocSc) and the University IUAV of Venice (Dottore in Urbanistica). - we really need some independent, reliable source showing that; for example, if the University itself has some published details, or if that is recorded in a newspaper article. If details cannot be verified, they should be removed.

There are some other stylistic issues; the 'external links' should be right at the end. There should not be any external links in the rest of the document, unless they are references. The 'Bibliography' is long, and I'm not quite sure what it is; is it books he wrote, or books about him? If it is the latter, they should be used for facts, as inline references, instead.

You can always ask for more feedback in WP:FEED. You could also ask for a peer review. Best of luck with it,  Chzz  ►  21:17, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

OK Chzz! i understand the point and i'll try to make the changes you suggested. This will take a few days..... vera --V.fanis1 (talk) 11:52, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Turning Point (2010)

And these two events Bragging Rights (2010) and Survivor Series (2010), meet the criteria? 201.89.132.132 (talk) 23:32, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I've no idea, but I was not asked to review those. When deciding whether or not to accept an article for creation, we have to assess whether or not we believe the article would be likely to be deleted; when we make an article live, we take responsibility. In my opinion, for the stated reasons, this article might be deleted if made live.

Regarding the other articles, please fix them or nominate those for deletion; there are many, many bad articles on Wikipedia. It's a work in progress. Please help. See also WP:OTHERSTUFF. Thanks,  Chzz  ►  23:44, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
