Welcome and introduction

Hi, Shearonink. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!  Chzz  ►  22:55, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ようこそ
  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

I just liked the photos of this chapel so much I just had to keep them around. All the time.

Picture of the Day: The interior of the Romanesque Chapel of St. John in Pürgg, Styria, Austria. The frescos date from the 12th century, probably around 1160, the crucifix from the 11th century.
The exterior of that church

These pics too - from one of the DYK articles for today...

Did you know ... that the bell of the Church of the Good Shepherd (pictured), one of New Zealand's most photographed buildings, commemorates photographer and explorer Edward Sealy?

Hi Shearonink

I am new to Wikipedia & I have just created a noteworthy article "Shudra - The Rising... A Film" on the upcoming movie "Shudra - The Rising". You have wrote that this article is not "significant & important" enough to be added to wiki. I would request you to review it once again as this article supports to the existing topic of Wiki Shudra as a visual because the contents of shudra would be more liked by anybody in visuals & that is possible only when they are informed about such kind of movie & its links. This article has references of "Times of India" a leading newspaper of India, "Bollywood Hungama" a leading bollywood news site of Film Industry, moreover it has links on "IMDB" the international hub of movie database, we have our own website... there are hundreds of other links can be cited here, even if you just type "shudra" on any search engine or social websites (including google, youtube, facebook etc.) you will get the info of the film. As you have reviewed this article & found 'not acceptable' for wiki I wanted to ask you what else I should put in my article to get it accepted. I don't even know how to write on your talk page so I just edited one message on your page (plz don't take it as an offence) if this is supposed to be a message to you.

Disambiguation link notification for April 4

Hi. When you recently edited List of professional cyclists who died during a race, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Columbia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Edit war

Shearonink, I would be glad for moderation. If you have any suggestions please, please make them known. I have tried to use the page's talk section, users from the institution continue to remove relevant facts from the institution's page. First it was academic accreditation (now resolved), and now it is the historic position of the institution as both pre-millenial and dispensational (the school accepts both but not other eschatological viewpoints) Hungus (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:44, 9 April 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Per Handling of edit-warring, it would be best if you first discuss the various issues about the subject with any involved editors at Talk:Criswell College. If that has already been tried, then you need to go to the next step which is to post a request at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring asking for guidance from an administrator. Shearonink (talk) 17:56, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Shearonink, I did put a page up for consideration for the Artist Dorothy Duval as there is no reference to here on this site, shame as she is quite well known and was for a time in my youth my next door neighbour.She was exhibited at the Stco Exchange, Royal Society of Marine Artists show on three occasions and in WhosWho in Art 1977 edition where it tells of all her awards. Most of which I quoted in my text. What do I have to do to get a page in Wikipedia about Duval ? 1917-2005. I think you should have something on her as she was well considered in UK and France. Please advise. Thanks from Barriebrdc. [Wikipidia does write about me under motor sport as I was a professional racing driver in the 1960'sand 70's] Barrie Smith BRDC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.252.51 (talk) 07:45, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft did not specifically reference particular statements about Duval. She received a silver medal, had a Diploma, exhibited in various venues?...who said so? You have to prove that she did what you claim she did by citing specific independent published reliable sources. One of the guiding principles of Wikipedia is verifiability, readers have to be able to verify whatever claims and assertions are made about a subject. I suggest you take a look at Wikipedia Good Articles/Art & Architecture and use some of them as examples, like Joanne Gair and Barbara Howard (artist). If you haven't already, please go through the Wikipedia Tutorial, it's an easy step-by-step introduction to editing on Wikipedia. Then after you've read through the Tutorial, your first article can walk you through the process of writing an article. Hope this helps, Shearonink (talk) 13:40, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - it worked

Shearonlink

My Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Emilia Pires is done, take a look! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Emilia_Pires

Thanks for the subst:submit tip - it worked - and the page is in queue awaiting for approval.

Hopefully I've done enough this time and the page will get approved. I think this person is really worthy of a page on Wikipedia.

Thanks again for your help. Really appreciated. Nerissa

Update: ShearonLink - my page got approved and has been published. Thanks for the advice!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Njm2012 (talkcontribs) 03:02, 23 April 2012 (UTC) (Njm2012 (talk) 05:42, 11 April 2012 (UTC))[reply]

declining an AFC submissions

What is wrong with the inline citations at this edit? The user had inline citations although they aren't reliable! (I have that person watchlisted) mabdul 06:07, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what your question is, but the inline citations are malformed in their intent - Ref#2 is to a blog written by the subject of the article, Ref#1 is to PopArchives.com.au and I don't see any editorial team at that site, nothing about the people who compile the information or the writers, so, yes, their reliability is unclear to me even if the structure is sufficient. If you disagree with my assessment, feel free to revert it and use your own Review, I don't mind. I do think this draft-article is basically unreferenced (from reliable sources anyway) and have also noticed that the parent article (about Artie Wayne) has no References, and only has External Links. Shearonink (talk) 06:28, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you are right: the references are bad (so decline as |v=), but they are inline. (and your decline reason is that they aren't; edit summary: (Declining submission: submission lacks inline citations)). mabdul 07:21, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In your post above you asked me "what was wrong" with the inline citations, I then told you. Trying to remember my thought processes about that particular Review?...I think I looked at the draft, saw that it had *some* references and that the footnote structure was being followed, saw that there were only *two* footnotes and used the Decline because there weren't enough footnotes/references to sustain an article so it does lack (enough) inline citations. The AfC Review Tool uses an automatic edit summary that does not completely line up with the automatic comment in this case, it also does not have a Preview option...a Reviewer cannot see the Review/Decline/Comments/edit summary until after the Submit button is hit, so sometimes the Reviewer's intent is unclear. I would not have considered it an unreasonable revert if you had already gone ahead, reverted my Review and changed the Decline reason to your satisfaction. Shearonink (talk) 14:35, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please take a look at the (Custom) Review as well as the creator's talk page now: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/From The Inside (song), User talk:Inkimuff. I think this addresses all of your concerns, plus the creator has now been pointed towards the Teahouse for additional helps with their editing. Shearonink (talk) 17:07, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

thx

Thanks for closing out the help request at User talk:BatesMotel6/Washington Institute for Graduate Studies. I didn't figure I should close it, since the user seemed to be hoping to find somebody to second-guess my article edits and my statements on the user's talk page. Thanks for acting as a third party in the situation. --Orlady (talk) 03:29, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Per your suggestion on my talk page, I have fleshed out my reasoning for proposing this new page and replacing the existing History section on the Texas City, Texas page. I also requested a review of and comments on the above proposed changes (both the new AfC page and the proposed condensed History section for the main page) by others interested in this project. Please see Talk:Texas City, Texas. I would really appreciate your comments, too. Thanks.

Good article nominations

You asked for some of my current good article nominations. :) The ones I have are Burundi women's national football team, Rwanda women's national football team and Zanzibar women's national football team. (Plus I think four more.) I do not believe there really are many more sources for them available online and as they have played only one or two games (or none), there isn't much that can be said. Hence, article brevity of probably about six paragraphs each. :) --LauraHale (talk) 05:04, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for your help on my talk page - Facebook

Hi, and thank you very much for your generous help regarding the image issue. I will certainly benefit from your information; however, pardon me, but could you please confirm that a picture found on Facebook is also acceptable if I go through the procedure you described? Many thanks again! Dontreader (talk) 04:01, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the paperwork is filled out, I think so. Shearonink (talk) 04:04, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's excellent news, and quite a relief as well. Thanks so much! Dontreader (talk) 04:14, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Author of "Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion/SpiderGraph chart" requests a Favor!

Shearonink 4/22/12 "A Plea for Help and a FAVOR" regarding: WP:Articles for Deletion/SpiderGraph chart

Dear Shearonink,

During January & February, you were friendly and very helpful while my article was in AfCreation! I forget the date, but at some point, I wrote you about someone wanting to put notches on their belt or establishing a Kingdom?? I forget the exact way I phrased it?? Around Feb. 23rd, my article went public! On Feb. 24th, Chap, the Ripper did a Major Overhaul & Removal of most of my article. It was almost unrecognizable, the first paragraph of 144 words was cut down to 66 words, I almost gave-in to his intimidation, but I didn't want it to reflect bad on me, so I rewrote the article for the 4th or 5th time, around 3/12.

No new tags were placed on the article for almost 2 months, but the old Tags from early Feb. remained on top of the article. I thought someone had just forgotten to remove them. I thought all the hurdles had passed!

On 3/27/12, I received a notice that my article had been Proposed for Deletion by Nominator Glrx, which I answered on 3/31/12, with a 6 page "Objection to Deletion" reply, because all the accusations sounded like he hadn't even read the article! Glrx, a PhD in Philosophy, hit me again on 4/3/12 with more of the same: WP:N, DUE, NOR, NPOV, & COI, and still I proved all of his assumptions incorrect in my 8 page 4/10/12 reply!

Also on 4/3/12, Gene93k Added a Note Stating that "this debate has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions."

So Far, everyone that has come forth, sounds like they never read the SG or Radar chart articles and maybe not the discussion either. I feel like I'm being Sandbagged for a Speedy Deletion by a tag team of kids! I try to spell everything out for them to clarify or correct their incorrect assumptions or accusations. Today, I spent all day writing a reply to Jorgath (a 26 yr old, non-technical, college student) & Livitup.

IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, please do me a favor and read over the deletion discussions and see what you think. They all seem in a big hurry to hang the article & me out to dry and I don't know why. I just want to get on with my life!

When you read my answers, you will see that this article is very Notable!! It looks to me like, no matter what I say or do, they intend to go ahead with the Deletion. As you read the discussions, I believe you'll see that there is definitely no COI.

Respectfully requested, Greg Chester (GregLChest@aol.com) Gregory L. Chester 07:32, 23 April 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GregLChest (talkcontribs)

Just because content of any type - articles, images, categories, etc - in Wikipedia has been published out into the public spaces doesn't mean it can't be continually re-assessed. And when that content is put up for deletion, any editor can weigh in with their opinion and vote to either Keep or to Delete. Because once content is written into any Wikipedia space (user-spaces even) and the author hits 'Save', the content doesn't belong to its creator any more, it belongs to the public. It doesn't matter who a person is outside Wikipedia, they can alter the content so long as they stay within Wikipedia's various guidelines. I'm sorry about the present situation you find yourself in, but no one around Wikipedia has any special powers to stop the process. Looking at the opinions now posted on the deletion page, if I were you I would download any of the various versions you wish as soon as possible so you have a personal copy or copies off-Wikipedia. Shearonink (talk) 13:42, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Peer Review needed: Jayne Mansfield

Peers needed to peer review the article (here) on this peerless actor

A mid-importance article supported by WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers that was reviewed by Version 1.0 Editorial Team and selected for Version 0.7 and subsequent release versions. The article has come a long way from a fan boy mish mash to a fair enough GA. Now is the time to take it to the next level. Currently it's going through another peer review. Please, lend a hand.
