Your rollback request

Hi Athleek123, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 08:18, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Athleek123 17:41, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the welcome!

Hi Athleek123. Thank you for the welcome to Wikipedia and your help with fixing the box on the Fiserv page.

In regards to your noted concerns, I am an associate of Fiserv and I stated that on my username page for purposes of transparency, as recommended by Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest). My edits are meant to be factual and neutral in tone, relying on cited independent sources, and for purposes of clarification rather than promotion. I can provide suggested edits directly to you or another editor for an OK if that would be preferred. If you feel that would be best, what would be the best manner in which to have those edits reviewed -- being posted directly to your talk page or some other option?

Kabursch (talk) 21:03, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kabursch,
Thank you for your willingness to comply with Wikipedia policy. If you would like to make changes to the article, simply "draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it", as it says on the welcome template that I posted on your talk page. Click here to create a draft, then notify me when you are done. If you would like, you could simply copy the deleted edits from the Fiserv page history. Thanks, Athleek123 21:09, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Utilitarianism (applied)

Thank you for reviewing the article. Actually virtually all that material is already part of the Utilitarianism article (I just added a few lines at the beginning) and what I am looking to do is to spin it off to be a page on its own. The utilitarianism article now gives a detailed account of various approaches to utilitarianism as an ethical theory and it looks odd to have a series of paragraphs of applied ethics at the end of an article that is more properly normative ethics. As you note both paragraphs could be expanded but more importantly there is considerable room for a multitude of topics to be added. The problem is that would then look even more odd at the end of an entry on normative ethics. But thanks anyway.Philosophyclass HSOG (talk) 12:57, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It seems fine to me, but then again I am no expert on the subject. Athleek123 18:05, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ventus Networks

Thank you for reviewing and approving the Ventus Networks article. The article's title was originally just 'Ventus'. This is the correct name of the company because it is actually doing business as 'Ventus'. Please advise on how to update the article accordingly with the correct name. Thanks.Jko2626 (talk) 17:19, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, just go to Ventus (company) Athleek123 18:09, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Message left at old talk page

Genepez left the following message regarding Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lumiere & Son Theatre Company at your old talk page, User talk:Athleek123:

I've been having problems submitting for review a version of the article that contains references. I added references subsequent to being advised to do so by my reviewer then saved the amended version for another review. I'm still not confident that I have succeeded in submitting a version that retains the references. This is my third attempt to submit for review an edited text that contains my new edits. Thank you for any assistance that you might be able to give. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Genepez (talkcontribs) 09:54, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved it here. Genepez seems to have problems saving his edits; he resubmitted the draft, but again without the references. Huon (talk) 11:12, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Huon, and to Genepez, I have looked at the submitted version of your article, and it still has no references. Do you have a link to where you developed the article, like a sandbox? Thanks, Gold Standard 18:15, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I believe Genepez somehow didn't save his edits; there's nothing relevant in all his contributions. I have given him advice at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk#Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lumiere & Son Theatre Company (there are multiple threads of that name).

Inline citations and AFCs

You commented on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Toonz that "References must have inline citations in order for them to be verifiable". This is not true (I'm not even sure it makes sense). Per WP:CHALLENGED, inline citations are only compulsory for quotations and material that is "challenged or likely to be challenged", so there is no must about it. This was recently discussed and it was agreed that lack of inline citations alone isn't sufficient reason to decline a submission. Inline citations are quite tricky as wiki markup goes, and we shouldn't insist that newbies master them before their submissions is accepted if it's otherwise good and well sourced. joe•roetc 09:16, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow, I completely misread that part of the reviewer instructions. Thank you for telling me this and preventing future mistakes. Gold Standard 17:43, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Confused about Decline

I am confused as to why Contemporary Literature and Ecological Restoration both got declined for submission. I didn't do anything different than my Arctic Anthropology submission. Could I receive help in order for these articles to be accepted?

Thank you, Press Stevens (talk) 14:15, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

At the time of the decline, the article had fewer refs, so good job adding more refs. The references, however, have to be independent of the topic of the article. Thanks, Gold Standard 19:33, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Then why was my very first article accepted when I didn't do anything different, including references. (My references related to the Arctic Anthropology journal.) I am trying to get more articles on scholarly journals accepted, so I am keeping how I format and link my material the same. Press Stevens (talk) 23:08, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Your article, Arctic Anthropology, should not have been accepted, its references don't constitute significant, independent coverage. I am contacting the person who accepted it to see what they were thinking. Gold Standard 23:14, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CubicShogi

Heard of AfC for the first time tonight. Is it for users without accounts? User:Prilin has an established account. So why was he using AfC?

His article request seems to have been refused for lack of RS. His article topic has notability: Pritchard, D. B. (2007). The Classified Encyclopedia of Chess Variants. John Beasley. p. 260. ISBN 978-0-9555168-0-1.

Ok, Ihardlythinkso (talk) 11:03, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, AfC is for users without accounts or users who want additional help creating their article. Also, the topic of his article may be notable, but the references he provides must prove this notability. According to the AfC reviewing guidelines, articles must have multiple, detailed, independent sources that constitute significant coverage of the topic. Thanks, Gold Standard 17:00, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok that explains it (he was seeking help; what he did get, apparently wasn't interpreted as "help", but cold rejection, he got frustrated, now he's blocked). The *multiple* RSs requirement doesn't really work for many chess variants, which are lucky to get a single, solid ref within the Pritchard and Beasley Encyclopedia editions. Thx for explaining AfC to me. Ok, Ihardlythinkso (talk) 18:42, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome! Gold Standard 18:44, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review of Parvez Dewan AfC

Hi Gold, thanks for the review of the AfC Parvez Dewan. This was my first AfC & am glad that its made it so far. -Ambar wiki (talk) 14:46, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

AFC articles and G10

Just an FYI, g10 is for attack pages, a page saying "xx is the greatest looking guy on the planet" or "yy is a modern day god, a hero amongst men" is a hoax page or vandalism but not an attack--Jac16888 Talk 22:03, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Haha :D no, I just saw BLP and immediately went to that. You're right, though, hoax is far more appropriate. Gold Standard 22:11, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

AfC

Hi Gold standard! I am trying to get approval for a wiki entry about the architect Roland Coate, Sr. I've included more references per your instruction. Hope I get it right this time. 68.108.251.143

Hello, and thank you for contacting me. First off, please read WP:TPG, and don't place your comments at the top of my userpage. Second, regarding your article, you need to read WP:REFB to learn how to properly format your references. You should also read WP:LAYOUT and Wikipedia:BIO#Basic_criteria. Also, to sign, use four tildes ~~~~ not four hyphens ----. Thanks, Gold Standard 23:38, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I still have to ask for permission to upload the photos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoanX.Chen (talkcontribs) 05:41, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, good job continuing to work on your article. Please note that I was not the one who evaluated your article "Yu-shan Huang", I evaluated "Massimo Bacigalupo". User:David FLXD was the one who evaluated "Yu-shan Huang". There are a few things I think you should read and apply to your articles; they are: WP:REFB and WP:LAY. Also, next time you make a comment on a talk page, remember to sign your name with three tildes: ~~~~ Happy editing! Gold Standard 06:48, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Update on Fiserv Page

Athleek, I have posted a draft of my updates to the Fiserv, Inc. page for your review. I wanted to explain a few of them for transparency/clarification:

1. In regards to the initial summary, there are a number of industries/businesses listed there that are inaccurate. Insurance is not a Fiserv business anymore and BPO is not a primary business. My suggested edit is, instead of switching this out with a laundry list of current company offerings I have removed the initial listing of services and moved this down to the corporate structure section (see #3). The Reuters page provides an accurate overview of Fiserv activities so I have cited that site.
2. The history is largely incomplete. I used a recent obituary of a founder, George Dalton, plus the Fiserv.com history page to provide further details that support the History section.
3. Corporate structure is inaccurate. Health Solutions – not a Fiserv business. Others are dated or incomplete. Suggest renaming Corporate Structure to “Areas of Business” and using Reuters as an accurate reflection of lines of business, rather than trying to use formal Fiserv names that would not be understood by outside audience and could become dated.

That's all I'm going to do for now. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'm more than happy to answer them.

P.S. Sorry if I'm not doing this entirely right...still getting my Wikipedia sea legs!

Kabursch (talk) 20:11, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kabursch,
I made a few minor edits, and it all looks pretty good. I just have a few concerns:
  1. Many of the statements in the history section, although slightly reworded, are very similar to the wording of the article from which they are sourced. These need to be rewritten so that they include the same information, but show little to no resemblance of the source.
  2. The first part of the "Areas of Business" section is copied verbatim, and the second part has no source other than the company's website, which is not considered to be a reliable source since it is self-published.
So my recommendation is to completely reword the additions you made to the history section, and possibly delete the "Areas of Business" section.
Also, I changed my username, I am no longer "Athleek123".
Regards,
Gold Standard 21:49, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Gold Standard,
As usual thank you for your edits and your continued help with this. I understand the issues with copying and pasting text from the source so I worked to try and get rid of all instances of that. I reworded the history section so it is not verbatim, but still contains the same information.
As for the Areas of Business section - what do you think of my changes? Does it work to state that I am pulling this information directly from the stated sources? In addition, I made it into more of a bulleted list. I believe this is the standard description on stock/finance websites to explain what are Fiserv's products/services (which really is a difficult task haha). I think it's important to include, but please let me know if you still think it doesn't work. I took out the information pulled from Fiserv.com, totally understand the issues with that.
Best, Kabursch (talk) 20:25, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good! I say you can go ahead and copy it into the Fiserv page. Thanks, Gold Standard 21:55, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers! Thanks so much for the help and I'll probably be getting in touch with you again at a later date. Kabursch (talk) 19:51, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, glad to help! Gold Standard 19:53, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

article Koos Hertogs

Dear Sir,

I wonder why the Koos Hertogs article was deleted. I tried to add a reference, as I did in the previous attempts, but was unable to do so, otherwise I certainly would have included it. Now I cannot find the text at all any more I wrote on Koos Hertogs. Koos Hertogs is already accepted in Dutch.

Sincerely Jeroen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeroen1961 (talkcontribs) 23:52, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
Thank you for contacting me regarding your article. Do not be alarmed, your article was not deleted; it is still available in the page history, the old source code is available here. Unfortunately, another user deleted your page, I just blanked it. The content was blanked and then deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's policy concerning biographies of living persons, as your article contains unverifiable information which is potentially defamatory. Once the information can be verified by the article's references, please resubmit your article.
Thanks for your understanding and compliance with Wikipedia policy,
Gold Standard 01:39, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I hope I am now repaeting this message in the right place: the article "Koos Hertogs" is already a Wikipedia article in the Dutch language. I have tried to be as precise as possible in the English version. Unfortunately, the article has been deleted, possibly because in the last version I was not able to include references. (14:36, 13 July 2012 Amatulic (talk | contribs) deleted page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Koos Hertogs (G10: Attack page or negative unsourced BLP)) I request again the English language version of the article on Koos Hertogs to be allowed. I am hereby submitting some references in English, which are difficult to find (most are in Dutch): http://www.rnw-classical.nl/english/article/row-over-privileges-convicted-dutch-sex-killer http://culture-society.todio.info/history/dutch-serial-killer-koos-hertogs-684.html

You can resubmit the article at AfC, just make sure that every bit of info can be verified with reliable sources, preferably using inline citations as well. Also, the second source you posted is not a valid source as it is a blog type website and doesn't qualify as a reliable source. You are also allowed to use sources in dutch, as long as you mark them with this icon template: {{Nl icon}} at the beginning of the ref. Also, remember to sign your posts with four tildes ~~~~ Gold Standard 20:27, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review of my submission -- my first. You rejected it because "This submission's references do not adequately evidence the subject's notability."

Yet, a search of Wikipedia shows 34 separate references to Valerius Geist already. See below. (Sorry that the hotlinks do not copy over). He seems pretty notable already. No? What do you suggest I do now? Thanks.

You want me to make links to all these? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexkrem (talkcontribs) 16:42, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for contacting me regarding your article. The article I evaluated did not have any of the references you posted above, it had four references, one of which was a Wikipedia article, which is not an acceptable source. I don't know where you got the above references, but if you provided a link to the page on which they were found it might be helpful. Please also read WP:REFB to find out how to properly source your article. Also read Help:Section and apply it to your article. Thanks, Gold Standard 17:43, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please explain to me the purpose and meaning of sending me this information, as well as who "Ved Prakash" is? Is it you? I also don't know how this relates to your article that I reviewed; could you please provide some context? Thanks, Gold Standard 06:45, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copy editing of Tania Libertad

Hi Gold Standard, I noticed you tagged Tania Libertad with {{GOCEinuse}}. Was that on my behalf, or do you intend to work on it? I listed the article on the drive page as my current target, but I haven't done anything with it; if you'd like to work on it, that's fine. You can reply here. Thanks, --BDD (talk) 17:53, 17 July 2012‎ (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I was slowly working on it, I just untagged it though cause I don't have time right now. Feel free to go ahead with the copy edit. Also, make sure to close your nowiki tag next time :). I fixed your signature for you, though. Gold Standard 19:34, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I promise I only make mistakes when I don't preview a post first. --BDD (talk) 19:42, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rainer Neske article

Hi Gold Standard,

I submitted an article on Rainer Neske on 5th July - please can you advise how long it should take for the article to be signed off and published by you? Many thanks!

Best Florian Kleinsteuber — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flkleinsteu (talkcontribs) 08:20, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, your article didn't have a submission tag, so I added it for you. It should be reviewed anywhere from a day to two weeks from now. Also, there are many, many people who review articles at Articles for Creation, so it probably will not be me. If someone denies your article and you need to resubmit it for review after you make the necessary changes, just add {{subst:submit}} to the top of the page.Gold Standard 18:49, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding page submission for "GOES-R"

Hi,

I had previously submitted this article and several editors agreed that there were no issues with copyright infringement because the information came from a government source, which is public information (and incidentally, I wrote the content for that website so it's my own content I'm using). The only issues remaining were that the article did not have enough wikilinks and contained some subjective information and these issues have been corrected with this submission. Editor "Excirial" consulted with several other editors and they concluded that copyrighting was not an issue for this article due to the public nature of US Federal Government Information. I'm wondering why my article has been rejected based on an issue that was already resolved. I can send you my previous communications with Excirial if you'd like.

Thank you
