Joëlle Morosoli

Hi, I saw that you put a banner for deletion on the Morosoli article, claiming that it has no references. But there is a whole section of bibliography, with numerous articles written on that artist. Isn't it sufficent? Beside, the article is a translation of the one I made in french that have no legiblity concern. Could you indicate me what is missing? Yours truly --Guerinf (talk) 22:30, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

What's allowed on fr.wiki doesn't necessarily work on en.wiki, and vice versa, as each has their own rules. What's primarily missing from Joëlle Morosoli is footnotes—for any given piece of information on that page, where can it be found in which reliable source? Add thorough footnotes, and I'll be happy to remove the {{prod-blp}} Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 03:06, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Ok, if I undestand well, it needs a link between the article and the sources mentionned in the bibliography. I will add footnotes during the coming week. Please do not remove the article until I ask you to check if everything is okay. Still, I am surprised of that. In french, there is a commitee to decide if a page should be remove or not. Everybody is invited to give an opinion. It is not the same in english? Beside, Mme Morosoli is a well-known artist in Quebec. She surely deserves an article, even on the english wiki? Thanks. Guerinf (talk) 14:55, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

I have added three references to the text. I am waiting for a few others form the artist herself. Is it correct for the legimity or the article? Thanks--Guerinf (talk) 17:09, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

The article still needs a great deal of work, but I've removed the prod-BLP notice. I've added a few cleanup tags to give you an idea of what kind of work is still required to improve the page. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 05:31, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Lencho Letta

Hello and thank you for the heads up. The article "Lencho Letta" was supposed to be a stub. If it still needs sources, I can find them easily. Thank you once again.

LencaOromo (talk) 02:06, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Even stubs need references, and currently, Lencho Letta has no verifiable and reliable independent third party sources with significant coverage (that is, blogs don't count). If you've got them, please add them! Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 03:06, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Okay, thank you for telling me. I have also added a UNHCR report and book references. Is that good? LencaOromo (talk) 03:24, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: TalentsFromIndia

Hello DoriSmith. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of TalentsFromIndia, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7: Makes a claim of significance: "the largest web development and web design team in India, having a strength of 100+ engineers and designers". Thank you. —Theopolisme 01:50, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

That's actually only a moderate-sized company (the larger ones are in the thousands). I'll take it to Prod. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 01:52, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Sure, sounds fine. —Theopolisme 01:53, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello Dori..please don't delete this page...its a humble request. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhishekjain.ims (talk • contribs) 05:49, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't have any say on whether it's deleted or not; it's now listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/TalentsFromIndia. As I said below, please feel free to add your opinion there. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 05:53, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello Dori, now please check the article TalentsFromIndia as I have updated more video references. kindly remove the flag "article for deletion"

This is not a newsletter

This is just a tribute.

Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.

In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't.

Some advice

When prodding an article with this message, it would be useful to link to BLP, or even spell the term out. Otherwise, a new user will just be confused. Zagalejo^^^ 06:32, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Good point—I usually do, but I'll be more careful going forward. Thanks for the reminder. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 05:32, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Tagged for deletion: TalentsFromIndia

Hello DoriSmith. I just wanted to let you know, that I saw you tagged TalentsFromIndia for speedy deletion for the reason "That's actually only a moderate-sized company (the larger ones are in the thousands)". I am a great fan of this company & as it is Indore, India based company. The number of employees its having is really big & notable for the place it belongs to. You can see other similar companies too which belongs to Indore like InfoBeans. I have updated some references too. Please have a look & don't delete it please. Its a humble request from my side. Regards Abhishek — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhishekjain.ims (talk • contribs) 07:07, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Actually, that wasn't the reason I tagged it for CSD (no claim of significance + pure advertisement) or for prod (Unsourced article about non-notable company. Pure advertising; peacock claims have no references.) You removed the latter, so I've now tagged it for deletion (Unremarkable subsidiary. Wasn't able to find any references that weren't primary sources (company's blog, press releases, etc)). Please feel free to add your input there. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 05:36, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

RfA

Hi Dori. I've been running an automated search through Category:Wikipedia administrator hopefuls for potential admin candidates and your name popped up as someone who appears to have all of the qualifications to be an admin. Do you still have any interest in running? If so, do you believe there are any reasons that editors would oppose you at RfA?

If this is something you're still interested in, I'd be willing to go through your contributions in more detail, and (assuming there are no major stumbling blocks) nominate you for adminship. Let me know if you're interested. ‑Scottywong| speak _ 01:04, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

It's an honor just to be asked, so thank you very much!

I don't know of any reason I'd be opposed, but that doesn't seem to stop some from opposing anyhow (I spend too much of my time having articles deleted, I don't have any GAs or FAs, insufficient RPPs, WP:WhoKnowsWhatElse…).

Yes, I'd like you to go through my contributions in detail—but feel free to make it very low priority, 'cause I'm fairly busy for the next few weeks.

And again, thanks! Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 06:04, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Ok, will do. I'll be in touch in a few days. ‑Scottywong| gossip _ 06:13, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Ya feel so good CSD

Hey there. You tagged the above article as a G1, but judging from the attached Youtube link, it seems like it's a Korean meme, and thus falls under A7. I've changed it to be so. Am i correct? Buggie111 (talk) 04:02, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Six of one, half dozen of another in my opinion. Either way, Ya feel so good was deletable, and it's now history. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 05:39, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
