AFC Backlog

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help! Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 3340 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk. Do you have what it takes? Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines? Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not? Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions? Are you autoconfirmed? Can you review submissions based on their individual merits? If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions. PS: we have a great AFC helper script at User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js which helps in reviewing in just few edits easily! We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial. On behalf of the Articles for Creation project, TheSpecialUser TSU

Rio Alto Mining

Hey Greg,

I am the author of the Rio Alto Mining page you highlighted for deletion. Please pardon me, that article is my first Wikipedia page I have written. That said, I believe the topic is notable -- according to the Wikipedia corporation guidelines, almost all public corporations are notable, and Rio Alto is much larger in terms of market capitalization and net income than many other comparable companies that also have Wikipedia articles.

Given that it was my first article, I am not especially familiar with what makes a good Wikipedia article. I copied the template for the existing Iamgold (another Canadian gold miner) article and updated the information so as to be relevant to Rio Alto. I am happy to edit the article in whatever way necessary so as to be credible and not promotional. Please advise me as to what I should do in order to avoid deletion of the article. Thanks.

Menominee Tribe v. United States

Inserting comments

My apologies for inserting comments into your comment. It was not meant to irritate you or make you look bad.

No problem. I WP:AGF and thought you probably just did not know it was frowned upon. Regards, GregJackP Boomer! 00:11, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion

Hi GregJackP,

I've removed your notice for speedy deletion on the Amfisound article as I felt it was unjustified. I've added 3rd party references to the article now and I believe that the article is as relevant as any guitar-manufacturing company out there. There are a couple of well-known artists listed on the article page that makes it relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OneArchetype (talk • contribs) 12:47, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

OK, we'll do an AfD on it. Thanks, GregJackP Boomer! 12:56, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

A question

Hey Greg. I see that you applied for the Imperial Napoleonic Triple Crown, but I have a doubt. Counting your Valiant Return, Standard Crown and current submission, you have registered a total of 3 DYK, 4 GA and 2 FC pieces. However, the Imperial Napoleonic Triple Crown is for 5 to 14 pieces of content. My mind says that, given that you are asking for an upgrade, you might have meant the Imperial Triple Crown Jewels? Otherwise, you'd need a further GA and three more FCs to apply for the Napoleonic one ;) Let me know which one is the one you want. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 05:24, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

It's a typo - it is for whichever one that 2 sets of content earn. I probably should stop posting stuff after the second scotch, but what can I say? :p It is easier to blame that than admit that I made an error... LOL GregJackP Boomer! 05:29, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Heh, thank you for correcting it. I can now safely award you without giving you the Genghis Khan one by mistake :p — ΛΧΣ²¹ 17:17, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Triple Crown

It is my pleasure to award GregJackP with this Imperial Triple Crown Jewels for all his work on content here on the English Wikipedia. Congratulations! — ΛΧΣ²¹ 02:53, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
