Dear ChzzBot IV,

I received your message that I need inline references in the "Patrick E. McGovern" article. But the original submission included numerous inline refs., which now have been deleted. How do I get back to the original version?

Nail

Hi, this is Dodobird1982. You told me I need references but what if you learn something through a personal experience. In this case, I watched Dragon Ball Z, and that is how I know about the character Nail. Please respond as soon as you can! Thanks! Dodobird1982 (talk) 20:36, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dodobird1982,

this is not how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and thus your submission falls likely in the category which is not covered by Wikipedia. Please read WP:NOT and consider searching at Wikia for the Dragon Ball wiki. Regards, mabdul 12:38, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Thank you very much chzzbot for the review of my article and your guidance to improve it.

About <The Flavor of corn> article

Hello,

Here I wanna discuss some questions about article <The Flavor of corn>. Here it's link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Flavor_of_Corn

So, in this article (which was denied by you as unverified)I added all improtant information, including supported by reliable sources. 3 times I was tried to make this article affirmed, but even after I added reliable and verifed sources, it's still was denied to be article. Is this homophoby or what?? And if my sources are not verifed, which you can call verifed sourses then??

Please respond me here, thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.70.15.114 (talk) 17:01, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case you ever restart this

User:ChzzBot IV/AFC unreferenced is wrong. You need to completely re-code this if you ever try to run it again. The use of <ref> tags is absolutely not required, and you should not be telling users that their AFC submissions don't include WP:Inline citations merely because they don't use ref tags.

Would you be so kind as to take care of this? CTJF83 12:26, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I just haven't found the time to do that yet; I did take a look, but it's not a "5 minute job". I might, possibly, have time in about a week, so if I do, I'll check back. Apologies; I've just been very busy. Chzz ► 00:56, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please help my article not get deleted!!!

Yoy might not remember but the other day you looked at my article, 50th Redlands International Caded Australian Cahmpionship, and reconmended that I add in text refrences. I have done so. Since then my article was put up for speedy deletion but was quickly removed. The same person who put it up for speedy deletion has now put it on the articles for deletion page. I worked so hard on my very hard article and I do not want it deleted. I worked very hard writing how the event is notable and many other sailors in the event have taken up wikipeida accounts just to write that they are outraged this useful page might be deleated and that it is notable. The two users trying to delete my page just keep critisisng how these new users have no real substance but never say why the artice is bad. Finnaly one of them, the one who aplied for speedy deletion has put up some substance to has argument. As I am new to wikipedia I don't understand the fancy language he uses and I would realy like someone who is experinaced to reply back to him. Seeing you said my article is clearly notabe I wondered if you would do this. The article for deletion site is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/50th_Redlands_International_Cadet_Australian_Championship

Hi. I'm sorry if I gave the impression that it met the guidelines; I'm not quite sure where/how I did, but anyway; I've added a "notice" on the discussion, which may help. I've removed the empty tables from the article; they're really not appropriate. It's just a question of adding evidence of coverage in independent reliable sources. I don't know if that is possible; if it is, fine, it could be kept; if not, it should be deleted. Sorry. Chzz ► 12:49, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Radar q

CHZZ - I've done nothing but hit a brick wall all morning! Searching Google, 3 or 4 pages deep and Wiki:Radar charts still seems to be THE authority! I don't want to reinvent the wheel, I just make it better! Could I use some of the references used in the Radar chart article? Maybe I should be writing this article for eHow?? Gregory L. Chester 20:56, 12 December 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GregLChest (talk • contribs)

Hi. Yes, you can use references from any appropriate reliable source - but, do the references talk about the subject? If so, yes, of course - great. That's all we're asking; references in reliable sources to verify all the information in the article.

Regards eHow - sure; I wouldn't know, sorry; I've never looked at it. Chzz ► 05:39, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Help with References

Hi Chzz,

You've helped me a great deal with the Lenovo articles I'm working on, and I'd like your help with something else. I'm looking at editing the pages on Glen Cook's books (like the Black Company books). Right now, the page is flagged as needing sources. Most of the online ones I've found for fantasy books seem to be blogs and the like.

What sort of sources are acceptable for linking? Also, do things like plot summary need sources as well, or just facts (like publishers, publishing dates, volumes/editions, and so on)? I've looked at some Wikipedia guidelines, but I'm not sure where to find the information I'm looking for. Can you point me in the right direction?

Trevor coelho (talk) 12:36, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For anything, it's the need for "significant coverage in independent, reliable sources". For a book, that'd typically be several reviews in newspapers or magazines; proper, independent reviews. Blogs are almost never acceptable. Actual physically-published things are nice, but not essential; "dependable" websites like New York Times (arts review) and suchlike are fine, of course. If in doubt about any specific source, ask on WP:RSN. If you can't find enough coverage for the books, consider redirecting them to the article about the author.

Plot summaries are one of the rare exceptions - you don't need reliable sources; you can write your own plot-summary based on the book itself. Of course, it should not be too "flowery", or too long. Guidance available at WP:PLOTSUM.

But, you still need to show that "significant coverage" - so no, publishers/publication dates/listings don't help. It really needs evidence of other people (with no vested interest) writing about the book. See also Wikipedia:Notability (books). Chzz ► 16:35, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chzz,

Thanks for that. Those guidelines were exactly what I was looking for.

How to set up disambiguation for "Bonnee Buttered Beef Steaks"

Hi Chzz,

Could you direct me to an explanation for how to set up disambiguation? I would like to set up a disambiguation for Bonnee Buttered Beef Steaks v. Bonnie Buttered Beef Steaks v. Bonny Buttered Beef Steaks.

My article is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnee_Buttered_Beef_Steaks

Tom Shawcross Tshawcross (talk) 14:10, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've made Bonnie Buttered Beef Steaks as an example; that is a one-line page, containing just #REDIRECT [[Bonnee Buttered Beef Steaks]] - you can see it at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bonnie_Buttered_Beef_Steaks&redirect=no

You can make others by just putting the word/s into the 'search' box, then it'll say "You may create the page "Whatever"... then making the same 1-line page.

If you have any trouble, give me a shout. (See also WP:REDIR) Chzz ► 15:01, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your message

Thanks for the heads up. It probably won't help any claim for notability on my part. I was interviewed by Computer Weekly at the time of the Kuwait war when I was press contact for Electronics and Computing for Peace which eventually merged into Scientists for Global Responsibility and did a week in the life of thing for a newsletter for drug or alcohol workers but I'm not sure that's enough. The assorted crackpots who have denounced me for my contributions here aren'treliable sources.

On the subject of my "fuck knows", I can't help feeling that the Foundation would have a stronger case if it could say something more about how it handles copyrights than "Er, when someone notices an editor is copying lots of stuff we hand them over to CCI and they check through things as quickly as they can. Of course, as it's staffed by only about half a dozen volunteers, there's a backlog of a year or two." The bill might be drafted by the techno-naive, but I don't think Wikimedia can claim to deal with systematic copyvios in a timely manner given the financial resources.--Peter cohen (talk) 14:53, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion over a redirect

Hi Chzz,

I have a bit of a problem. I've completed two more pages for Lenovo series I'm doing (offline) and uploaded the ThinkStation page as a draft. When I was creating the draft, though, I typed ThinkServer instead of ThinkStation. Following that, I redirected the page to ThinkStation so that the name was correct. Now, though, I can't create a ThinkServer draft because the page has the redirect.

I think it's ok to remove the redirect (since ThinkServer shouldn't be redirecting to ThinkStation anyway) but wanted to check and make sure that my ThinkStation page won't get messed up. Can you confirm if I can delete the redirect and just put in the ThinkServer content on the draft page?

Trevor coelho (talk) 10:46, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked for the redirect to be deleted as "routine maintenance", and it should be deleted very soon... Chzz ► 11:07, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Market Intelligence

Hi regarding the reference I am a little bit unsecure but hopefully you can help me

Here is the information for the reference http://vbn.aau.dk/da/publications/market-intelligence(c9a902ac-330c-41d9-ae6a-fdee246ca650).html

It is fine for me to add the content to the current page about Market Intelligence
