  • Do not include your email address. We can only respond here.
  • Please sign your question by typing ~~~~ at the end of your post.
  • Check this page for updates, or request to be notified on your talk page.
  • To mark an issue resolved, place {{Resolved|Your reason here ~~~~}} at the top of the section.

Are you in the right place?

  • If you're a registered editor, discussing articles before creating them is optional. If you're ready, be bold and start the page!
  • If you simply want to suggest a topic for an article without giving any details or sources, go to Wikipedia:Requested articles.
  • If you are not a registered editor and you've written a complete article, you can submit the text of that article at Wikipedia:Articles for creation for review.
  • If your idea is directly related to a specific article that already exists, it is probably better to discuss it on that article's talk page.
To start a new request, enter the proposed article name below:



Ok Tokyo - British pop/rock band

Ok Tokyo are a UK-based Pop-Rock Band. They comprise of three members - Sammy Tokyo, Jonny Tokyo & Matt Tokyo. There are several internet rumours about their origins and previous adventures, but they are perhaps best known for their twisted and skewed take on modern pop/rock music. In 2007, after just 10 months into their appearance on the UK Club scene, they managed to secure a spot at the world famous Glastonbury festival, held annually in the UK. They were selected by the BBC from hundreds of nationwide acts, to peform on the BBC's 'Introducing Stage', [1] which has been designed to showcase acts that the Broadcaster believes will make it big in 2008. [2]

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball; we don't include articles about subjects that possibly might be notable in the future.
If you look at Wikipedia:Notability (music), you'll find a dozen criteria for a band to be considered notable. Which one(s) do you think this band has met? -- John Broughton (♫♫)

im just saying you put that in there so people can see what it means because a lot of people use wikipedia as there first source and they might want to know what something means eg Boltssna

Dr. Theodore Theodorsen and his publications

The Biography of Dr. Theodore Theodorsen has been added to Wikipedia by GAccolla for his son Theodore E. Theodorsen and the world community to read.

Pre-Settlement Financing

I was interested in writing an article on pre-settlement financing. Basically, it's for people who are involved in a legal claim -- like, say, a personal injury or sexual harrassment suit -- who are having trouble making ends meet and may therefore be under financial pressure to accept a less than optimal settlement. If they have spotty employment or credit histories, getting a loan from a bank may not be a viable option. With pre-settlement financing, they can get the money they need to cover their living expenses while their attorney continues with their case. It's not a loan. Instead, it's what's known as non-recourse funding -- which means that they only have the repay the money if and when they win their case. While the concept of pre-settlement financing is relatively new, there are a number of companies that offer this service.

I haven't been able to find anything on pre-settlement financing or nonrecourse funding on Wikipedia. Would this be a suitable subject for an article? Do you think it would be something of interest to readers? If so, do you have any advice on how I should go about writing it?

This is my first time on Wikipedia, so please forgive any inadvertant faux pas on my part.

Thanks. Trevor790 16:18, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You did exactly the right thing by asking the question here, first. Per WP:NOT, Wikipedia isn't an instruction manual or a place to give advice, so I think you may be headed in the wrong direction. You might take a look at Wikipedia:Alternative outlets.
The threshold you need to surmount in order to write an acceptable article is basically to find reliable sources. If a number of national publications have written about pre-settlement financing (I'm skeptical), then there's probably a good article somewhere. If this gets mentioned in obscure places, or you're read about it on websites of legal firms, then you're doing what we call original research when you write such an article, and that isn't allowable.
Finally, if you can find an existing article that does (or should) include this topic, you could add some (sourced, please) information; again, not written as advice, but simply what a disinterested observer would be noting about the way the world works. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 12:26, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I want to introduce the word/term "faceosphere"

Yesterday, I put up a page for the word "faceosphere", and today it's not there? I don't know who or why it would be taken down. Faceosphere is a word used to describe the emerging Facebook ecosystem. This word is useful today, and will become more so in the near future. Since Facebook opened up it's platform to outside developers, there have been over 4,000 applications created. There is an entire economy being created of developers, analysts, investors, etc. I'm wondering if the person who introduced the term "blogospere" at first had his work taken down (by wikipedia). Markmayhew 06:33, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First, per What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. If you want to post a new term to a dictionary, see Wikitionary and Urban Dictionary and similar. Second, since a Google search on this term returns all of six results, I'm comfortable saying that it's pretty much impossible for you to have created a new article using reliable sources, which is required; rather, you presumably violated the policy against original writing. Third, you can always find out why and when a new article you created was deleted by doing the following
  1. Enter the title (exact spelling) into the search box, click "Go"
  2. The search results will include this: "No page with that title exists. You can create this page or request it." Click on "create this page" (note - one more step after this is required to create the page; DON'T take that step)
  3. On the displayed page, "Edit XXX" (where "XXX" is the name of the article you previously created), you'll find the reason (from the deletion log)

Here's what the deletion log says: 00:17, 16 September 2007 Lucasbfr (Talk | contribs) deleted "Faceosphere" ‎ (CSD A7 (Web): Article about a web site that does not assert significance)

If you want to create this article again (and I see absolutely no justification for that, but perhaps I'm missing something), you need to go through deletion review. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:05, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Auchengeich mining disaster

On 18th September 1959, 47 men lost their lives when a faulty fan purifying the air in the colliery went on fire due to an electrical fault. The men were in bogies travelling to the coal face to start work, and due to the intense smoke they were abandoned just a few hundred yards from safety. The mine was eventually flooded to put out the fire and there was only one survivor from the crews. The disaster widowed 41 women and left 76 children without a father.

There are links with more information available as follows:

[3] [4] [5] Vonnievonnie 17:49, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Only the third link meets the criteria here for reliable sources. I suggest rather than trying to write a separate article, it would be better to add a section to an already existing article: Auchinloch. Then, once there is enough information (if there ever is), the section can be spun off into its own article, per our policy on parent-daughter articles. Also, please note that it's inappropriate to include a list of the names of the miners in a Wikipedia article - see WP:NOT for the reason (Wikipedia isn't an indiscriminate collector of information). -- John Broughton (♫♫) 18:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's great - is this something I should do myself? I'm really not a writer at all and I'm concerned about making a hash of it :) Vonnievonnie 19:02, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We have a rule here at Wikipedia: be bold. If you make a hash of something, you can always ask for help, or simply rely on other editors to improve what you've done.
Anyway, since what you wrote was pretty close to ready to go, I went ahead and added it to the article. If you want to enhance the text with more info, go ahead (but please, use only reliable sources; note that they don't have to be online; for example, you could cite old newspaper and magazine articles).
If you're still reluctant to change the article, but have additional info you'd like added, you should start by posting that at Talk:Auchinloch, and see if another editor will respond to your request to add the info to the article. Similarly, if someone changes the article in a way you find problematical, try to discuss the matter at the talk page first; if that doesn't work, try the help desk. And welcome again to Wikipedia. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 22:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dubai Lime

Its the only social community in Dubai and has no topic on it. Everytime a topic is created it is deleted due to the way its written.

Can someone help create an article on Dubai Lime.

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sabature (talkcontribs) 15:54, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that something is the only such thing in a given country doesn't make it notable. Have there been news stories or other articles from reliable sources describing the social community? -- John Broughton (♫♫) 19:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List Websites

I would like to start some Wikipedia entries for these list Websites that exist:

  1. www.ListAfterList.com
  2. www.OnMyList.com
  3. www.Listphile.com
  4. www.Tadalist.com
  5. www.ListofBests.com
  6. www.Unspun.com

and any other ones you know about?

I have a feeling this is going to be the next big thing in the Web world. Social networking sites based around wiki articles and ideas in list forms. Lists are concise, quick and eye catching ways to present information and opinions. If you look at VH1, E!, Forbes.com, Men's Health, etc. they all have lists about various topics all the time!

Here are some sources I could find (feel free to add more):

  1. Offical website: ListAfterList.com
  2. Alexa.com
  3. Quantcast.com
  4. ListAfterList.com "About" page
  5. Dispatch.com: "Site collects lists of every kind"
  6. Offical website: OnMyList.com
  7. Offical website: ListPhile.com
  8. Offical website: TadaList.com
  9. Offical website: Unspun.com
  10. TechCrunch article on ListPhile
  11. KillerStartups.com Listphile
  12. Mashable article on OnMyList.com


I have this done so far for ListAfterList: [text removed - JB]

I've moved the article to User:Earspratt/ListAfterList.com. This page isn't the right place to post an entire draft article.

Sorry, I don't understand your suggestion, at all. If nothing else, articles at Wikipedia aren't about the parts of Wikipedia; there isn't anything about WikiProjects or the Village Pump or administrators or the Arbitration Committee, etc. Besides, exactly what would be used as reliable sources?

There are no special notability requirements for television characters, but there are some good guidelines for soap opera characters - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Soap Operas#Character articles.

Cyber enlightenment

Enlightenment gained from historical and modern trends in science and culture via cyberworld rather than traditional mentors and teachers. A sense of being is usually gained from a cyber experience the machine is the machine and you are the human sometime the machines are seen not as friends and as a hassle but still you are connecting with energy and a a network of internet or intranet. If you view the cyberworld as a universe itself and the machines are a link to that universe that is growing without water or sunlight but must still have energy.If you look at computers on wikipedia you will find the map to the internet the white represents the unknown and is growing. You will have to wonder if the machines are going to take over one day they already run our lives with blackberrys and cell phones ect ect we have incredible war machines that could wipe out life on the planet.I think honesty with oneself to beleive that the machines won't be there to hurt us and there are people like us on the machines connected to the web then each other will ultimatley rule the world one day.People that believe everything they see on tv are not usually into cyber enlightenment,they like to turn there mind off and let someone else do the thinking and immerse there mind.When they have limitless possibilities in gaining knowledge that could change your life form religion to politics to the prophets everyone in a free country has a massive library. Even the secrets to life would probaly hidden away somewhere in cyberspace, through communication of knowledge we create new paradigms,growth and development for individuals and nations. You can look up zen or look up satan pornography or religious sites these are the real x files to alot of people and the more they learn the more they can feel enlightened because we all have a great computer our own mind. 61.68.38.134 21:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jean Jacques Rousseau Mouton, Lake Arthur, Louisiana

If you're referring to Lake Arthur, Louisiana, you can simply click on "edit this page" to add information. Or you can post at Talk:Lake Arthur, Louisiana (click on the "+" tab to start a new section) - just type in the information you think should be added to the article, and other editors can then help out to actually add it (when/if relevant) to the page. If you have links to add, just type the URL.

JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU MOUTON 1867-1942

J.J.R. MOUTON, was town Founder, First Alderman and many times Mayor of the small Cajun community of Lake Arthur, LA.

One of the largest funerals, in the history of Lake Arthur, was held when it paid final tribute to the memory of J. J. R. MOUTON.

Former Governor Earl K. Long and numerous other dignataries were present at the funeral services October 31, 1942, at the Catholic cemetary in Lake Arthur.

Mr. Mouton, who was 75, died at a Monroe hospital, where he had been taken after he became ill.

He came to Lake Arthur in young manhood, and in 1894 married Mary Lezima, also a Mouton, but no relatiohship. He was born in Lafayette.

Taking an active part in civic affairs of Lake Arthur, he was one of the incorporators and first aldermen there in 1904.

In 1906 he was elected Mayor and served as many years in that office. From 1906 to 1908, 1914 to 1926, 1928 to 1934 and again in 1936. He was elected Jutice of the Peace in 1932 and served as both Justice and Mayor in 1936.

The Mouton's had seven children, Three sons, A.R.(Alvin) Mouton, J.S. (Sydney) Mouton, J.R. (Rodney) Mouton. Three daughters, Agnes Norris, Louette (Lou) Robinette and Lucille (died at birth). Five grandchildren, Kramer Dale and Gladden Norris, Rita Joy Mouton, Wanda Lou Mouton, Jonathan Mouton and Garland Robinette.

FIRST LOUISIANA ARCADIAN FRENCH FAMILIES IDENTIFIED:

Geographically speaking, Louisiana's first six families are the LeBlancs, Landry's, Heberts, Broussards, Boudreaux and MOUTONS.

This was the conclusion reported to the Association of American Geographeres and National Council of Geography Teachers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WandaMoutonHarris (talkcontribs) 18:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by your name, you seem to have a conflict of interest (you're related to the person about whom the article would be) - please see our policy about that.
We have some pretty clear criteria here for articles about people; please review those. I don't see anything above that indicates that an article about Mr. Mouton would meet them. You might consider Wikitree instead. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison of hosted CRM software

Editors,

There is a great number of hosted, or Software_as_a_service applications on the market:

Salesforce.com

24sevenoffice.com

NetSuite

Sugar CRM

Zoho CRM

Highrise

Entellium

InsideSales

Relenta

RightNow

...and many more.

Some are mentioned in Category:CRM_software Category:CRM_software_companies but both lists seems random and incomplete. Also, what's the difference between the two, really?

Questions:

1. Should the Category:CRM_software and Category:CRM_software_companies categories be combined into one and/or separated into Category:Hosted_CRM_software vs. Category:CRM_software?

2. Will it be a good idea to start Comparison of hosted CRM software in Category:Software_comparisons? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swankie (talkcontribs) 20:23, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your first question, which is a good one, a good place to post it (again) is at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
Regarding your second question, per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is't a manual or guide for readers. If in fact you can restrict the content of the article to information from reliable sources (I'm skeptical), then I suspect that other editors wouldn't propose it for deletion. The general problem with "comparison" articles (besides violation of WP:NOT is that they're a magnet for people with their own opinions (unacceptable, per WP:NOR), and also for sales and marketing folks (see WP:COI). -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:33, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We have an article on Kate Ground; if there weren't links to playboy.com sites, it would have been deleted long ago.

Hi. There's certainly an impressive amount of google hits for "Inazuma Eleven". It seems like it might be possible to find enough verification to satisfy the notability guidelines. :) The first couple of pages don't seem to satisfy sourcing requirements, being mostly blogs. Are you aware of any industry publications that have profiled it? Those are the kinds of sources that can probably best establish an article of that nature. --Moonriddengirl 00:44, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure that if there aren't sufficient sources at the moment, there soon will be, in the nature of reviews and whatnot. Since you seem to have an interest in video games, I'll suggest that you might want to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games. There's tips over there for developing articles as well as a community of other people developing them. :) Since you seem to be new here, I'm going to drop a "welcome" message on your userpage that might have some useful guidelines for you, including information on how to automatically "sign" and date your contributions to talk pages (but not articles) by adding ~~~~ to the end of what you type.

Legbone

Dayton, OH's Legbone formed in the '90s around two core members, vocalist Kyle Curtis and guitarist Mitch Lawson. The usual lineup changes ensued, but the band eventually settled around Curtis, Lawson, guitarist AJ Morse, bassist Jim Hagler, and drummer Jake Black, and perfected a heavy, often alcohol-fueled mixture of metal and punk. (The band enjoys a sponsorship from Jagermeister.) Legbone releases include 1998's Old and Lazy, 2000's Beer: 30, and 2005's Different Path.

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! Legbone might have a bit of an uphill battle on Wikipedia, unless there are additional sources. The band's website and Myspace don't qualify as verifiability to the point that it satisfies the notability guidelines for music. allmusic only lists one of the band's albums in their discography, and it doesn't seem to be on a major independent label. The notability guidelines set out a list of about 12 different criteria which may help a band meet the notability threshold. You might want to look over that and see if any of them apply. :) If so, you can gather a few sources to create your article. (Do note, though, that the paragraph above seems to be taken straight from All Music. You'll want to be sure to put the article in your own words to avoid copyright violations. Wikipedia swiftly removes copyrighted text.) If you aren't interested in registering and writing the article yourself, you can take the sources & information you locate to Wikipedia:Articles for creation to request assistance over there. Good luck, and happy editing. :) --Moonriddengirl 23:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. :) In order to create an article about Mr. Greb, you'll need to be able to assert notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies, which will mean utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles. An article about Mr. Greb would be covered by Wikipedia's guidelines on "biographies of living persons", which in part urges editors to be extremely careful not to include any information that isn't sourced, even if it's true and also reminds us that biographies particularly must be written from a neutral point of view.
If you are able to assemble necessary sources and if Mr. Greb meets the notability requirements, you may choose to create the article yourself, although if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you request assistance. (You may also request assistance there if you simply don't want to write the article yourself.)
If you do wish to create the article, you will need to first register an account, which has many benefits, including the ability to create articles. Once you have registered, please search Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article. Please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. --Moonriddengirl 16:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Burning Tree Project

Burning Tree Project is rock band from Buena Park, California. The band has had it's video's for the singles "Hero" and "Stop Saying It's Over" featured on MTVK and MTV Chi, as well as MTV2. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.119.11.234 (talk) 20:19, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They sound promising. :) In order to create an article about them, you'll need to be able to assert notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines on musicians, which will mean utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles. Articles about bands are covered by Wikipedia's guidelines on "biographies of living persons", which in part urges editors to be extremely careful not to include any information that isn't sourced, even if it's true, and also reminds us that biographies particularly must be written from a neutral point of view.
If you are able to assemble necessary sources and if Burning Tree Project meets the notability requirements, you may choose to create the article yourself, although if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you request assistance. (You may also request assistance there if you simply don't want to write the article yourself.)
If you do wish to create the article, you will need to first register an account, which has many benefits, including the ability to create articles. Once you have registered, please search Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject.

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! Just to let you know, this is the drawing board where you come to discuss ideas for articles that you plan to create yourself. It sounds as though you might be looking for somebody to create the article for you. If that's the case, you can list the topic at Wikipedia:Requested articles. :) Since it seems that you may be involved with the company, this may be a good idea. It's not impossible, but can be difficult, to create an article about a topic with which you are closely associated.
If you'd like to create the article yourself, you'll need to be able to assert notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines on companies and Wikipedia's notability guidelines on websites, which will mean utilizing reliable secondary sources, distinct from the business' own publications. Unsourced information may not be included, although information from the company's publications can be used to support details once notability is established through secondary sources. In writing about businesses, it can be particularly tricky to maintain a neutral point of view, which is essential to prevent your article being perceived as overly promotional.
If you do wish to create the article, you will need to first register an account, which has many benefits. Once you have registered, please search Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article.

Bluetooth Medical Devices Working Group

The Medical Devices Working Group (MED WG) is a relatively new working group structured beneath the Bluetooth SIG that was formally approved in June of 2006. The primary goal of the MED WG is to define a set of specifications which can be used by developers of medical, healthcare and fitness devices to create an interoperable set of Bluetooth products tailored to the needs of these markets. These specifications include the Bluetooth Medical Device Profile (MDP) and related Multi-Channel Adaptation Protocol (MCAP). Using these specifications, products will be able to perform functions in defined ways such as discover compatible devices and their capabilities, connect to compatible devices, exchange data and manage connections for reasons for power conservation and link management.

There are currently several devices in these product categories that take advantage of Bluetooth technology today, however in the absence of a standardized and agreed upon method of performing these basic functions, devices on each side of the Bluetooth link generally have their own proprietary way of communicating and sharing data and this often results in specialized proprietary drivers. For example, each data aggregation device (i.e. PC, mobile phone, telehealth device) frequently has to install a separate device driver for each medical, healthcare or fitness device it wishes to interface wirelessly to. If a telehealth device wishes to support three different brands of blood pressure meters, this would likely require three different device drivers to support them. Often Bluetooth biometric sensor devices (i.e. blood pressure meters, weight scales, pulse oximeters, etc.) will need to create several product SKUs in order to be compatible with the proprietary communication needs of various data aggregation devices. This results in an enormous amount of engineering and qualification effort on both sides of the communication link and is passed on to consumers in the form of longer time to market and higher product costs. These incompatibilities and higher product costs also limit the opportunity in the market, thus slowing market growth.

Combining the factors of the rising incidence of chronic conditions, the rising cost of healthcare and the fact that people are living longer, the use of technology is expected to play an increasingly important role in addressing the worldwide healthcare crisis. The development of healthcare standards can play an important role in these areas and the products based upon these standards can help people to manage chronic conditions, prevent health issues, provide early detection, reduce healthcare costs and improve clinical outcomes. The use of wireless technology for such applications suits the mobile lifestyle of individuals who can benefit in there areas.

There are other important and related efforts to the MDP including efforts in another working group to do much the same for USB and yet another working group with IEEE to standardize data for personal healthcare applications. This "transport independent" set of data standards is planned for use by USB, Bluetooth and other transports that may wish to take advantage of these efforts. These efforts are cooperative with the efforts of the Medical Devices Working Group such that the data from an MDP compliant Bluetooth blood pressure device is compatible with the data from a USB blood pressure device and data from both can be consumable for applications worldwide.

Hi. This particular article would be governed by the notability guidelines on companies. The rule of thumb here is noting whether the company has received significant or widespread coverage in secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the company (excluding company PR releases and information solely available on the company website—these sources may be used for additional information after notability has been established by secondary sources). As it stands, there is no assertion of notability, and the material is unattributed.
If you are able to assemble necessary sources to assert notability, you may certainly create such an article, although if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you discuss the idea on the talk page of a related article (in this case, perhaps Bluetooth?) or at a related WikiProject (maybe Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine). If you do choose to write the article in such a case, you'll want to be sure that you approach it neutrally and without undue promotion.

Jonny Bairstow

Jonny Bairstow born 26th September 1989 is the son of former Yorkshire and England cricketer, and is already beginning to contine the family tradition by himself becoming a promising cricketer.

Living in Marton-Cum-Grafton and attending the local primary school he was always a well known character in the village. With the death of his father in 1998 after hanging himself due to depression caused by a number of factors, Jonny and his sister Becky attended school the next day as his mother was travellng to Leeds to have chemotherapy treatment. This was a time in Jonnys life that he would now rather forget.

However it was at under 11 that Jonnys sporting talents were becoming well known, signed on the books for Leeds United Football Club, and also playing for Yorkshire Cricket under 11s, he then also became a keen rugb player aswell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crispycrisp (talkcontribs) 15:17, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! :) Jonny would be covered by Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies, which requires utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles. An article of this sort would also be covered by Wikipedia's guidelines on "biographies of living persons", which in part urges editors to be extremely careful not to include any information that isn't sourced, even if it's true, and also reminds us that biographies particularly must be written from a neutral point of view.
It seems as though Jonny's notability lies in athleticism. The notability guidelines offers two points on athlete: (1) Competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming or tennis, or (2) Competitors who have played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports (who meet the general criteria of secondary sources published about them). I don't know those teams, so I don't know if they qualify. But you would need secondary sources to demonstrate Jonny's notability in them.
If you are able to assemble necessary sources and if he meets the notability requirements, you may choose to create the article yourself, although if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you discuss your article first, perhaps at the talk page of a related article or at the relevant WikiProject, in this case perhaps Wikipedia:WikiProject Football.

Starsky and Cox

I'm interested in helping create an article for Stella Starsky and Quinn Cox, astrologers and authors of the book Sextrology. They are a married couple based in New York City and present their original “Astrology of Sex and the Sexes” philosophy, hinged, as it is, on a longstanding view that men and women of the same sign are actually different characters—thus, their zodiac comprises twenty-four signs, rather than the traditional twelve. Their book Sextrology, published by Harper Collins in 2004, has received raving reviews from The New York Times, Vogue, and Time Magazine. They have a live stage act and consult privately.

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! :) Stella Starsky and Quinn Cox would be covered by Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies (see creative professionals under additional criteria), which requires utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles and book reviews to support a claim of why the couple has encyclopedic importance. The telegraph article or cavalier daily, for example, seem perfect. It would be helpful if you could locate a few more of that sort. :) The Amazon page can be used to source technical details about the book—like ISBN—but not as a source of reviews, since there's no editorial oversight for Amazon reviews. E-Reader might be helpful in tracking down other appearance although in itself it doesn't seem potentially usable. The couple's website can be used to flesh out details, but not to establish notability.

Hello. :) I don't believe we have a specific guideline on that sort of thing, so I'd start with the base notability guidelines and keep in mind other major policies on verifiability and neutrality.

FiltaFry

FiltaFry is an international company of mobile franchises specializing in the micro-filtration of cooking oil and vacuum-based cleaning of deep fryers in restaurants and commercial kitchens.

History

Today, FiltaFry is headquartered in Orlando, FLorida. It was founded in 1996 by Jason Sayers, who wass a 26-year-old software designer living outside London. He was asked to find a way to extend the life of cooking oil used in fryers. Sayers took his idea to an engineering firm that produced hydraulic oil filtration systems for aircraft and heavy equipment. The engineering firm modified its system for use in the foodservice industry.

FiltaFry President Victor Clewes joined FiltaFry late in 1996 to help growth. FiltaFry first expanded internationally to Australia in 1998. By 2002 FiltaFry had expanded to the United States, and now have over 150 operations throughout the US, Canada and Central & South America.

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'll put my response here rather than responding to both. :) This particular article would be governed by the notability guidelines on companies. As it stands, there is no assertion of notability and an article of this sort would most likely be subject to swift deletion. The article needs to explain what makes this company worthy of reference in an encyclopedia.

Camprio

This is my first article. I've started here because although I have no doubt that this artist is notable, after extensive Google [8] searches & searches within Wikipedia [9] coming up empty, I'm not much further along than where I started. There appears to possibly have been 3 men alive about the same time, adding to the confusion.

What I have found so far from owners of his paintings via the information on the back of their paintings:

His birth: If he was born in 1895, it was most likely in Trieste. If he was born in 1895, 1910, 1912, 1927, 1937, or 11May1941, he was most likely born in Italy, specifically Milan. Are these two different men?

Did he receive his education at the Academy of Arts in Rome, the South Kensington School of Arts, and the Royal Academy of London, or did he study at the Academy of Art in Amsterdam? If in Rome, did he study under Professor Ranzi?

Was his first name Manuel, Hendrik, or Giuseppe? Did he paint in Holland or Capri? Did he marry a Dutch woman & live in Holland?

Do paintings have numbers like the books do with ISBN? Two paintings have registry numbers of 25-0073854 & 3081-700.

The artist I am principally interested in paints small adobe style houses along a small white sandy beach with blue water, a fishing boat and mountains, e.g.: http://cgi.ebay.com/Camprio-Itialian-Coastal-Scene-Oil-Painting_W0QQitemZ130151854132QQihZ003QQcategoryZ20136QQcmdZViewItem There is another artist that also goes by the name of Camprio, living about the same time, that paints stills versus beach scenes, & uses a completely different style of painting: http://www.burchardgalleries.com/auctions/2002/sep2202/l165.jpg The most prominent clue that this isn't the same artist is the signature.

Two Camprio works were auctioned last year:

  • "Peisaj Mediteranean" 26Feb06
  • "Fischerdorf Am Gardasee" 22July06, Giuseppe Camprio

One Certificate of Authenticity states: "Manuel Camprio is the artist name for Charles Lombard that he uses for lakescenes and landscapes. It is his wife's name who is an artist as well.The couple travel very much by housewagon along the coast of the mediterrenian, but return to Holland where actually they are living.

Hi. If you're sure he meets notability guidelines for creative professionals, then your big challenge it seems like is going to be coming up with reliable sources to verify that. Not being particularly active in the visual arts, I'm afraid that Google is about the extent of my resources. It might be useful to you to check with the folks at Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts. They might have suggestions on their project page and, if not, you may be able to get some advise at their talk page. Ironing out the three men sounds pretty complicated. I would also suggest the reference desk, but I see you've already asked there. :) Good luck with your research, and happy editing. --Moonriddengirl 11:33, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
