Sionk: I have edited the article draft "Stuart Crystal (Jewelry)" by adding a few extra reliable sources and trying to link an image from the Victoria and Albert Museum; however, I am new to Wikipedia page-making and I could not figure out how to add images correctly. Please review the article draft again at your convenience. There is very little information available on the web about these historically significant jewels and even if this article is created only as a stub, I believe it will be of great help to historians and collectors.

== You've helped lots!! ==
Hi Sionk,
You have given me lots of advice, comments, edits, etc and they have all been helpful. I did a major rewrite of the article, in fact, based on your suggestions. I'm about to hit the send for review button...if you have a chance please give it a look again. I hope i have it right this time but would rather know I don't early in the process. Thanks again for the time you've put in.....gonna send it now! GMarin 11:04, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Some advice
Sionk, I ran across an article you helped out with at Articles for Creation back in January and you found the topic not notable at that point. A few days ago the article, Wood Law Firm, was posted. Reviewing it for DYK, it didn't seem to pass the basic notability test for me based upon the sources provided (only one of which discusses the firm at all--and gets its info from the firm's website). I'm on the fence about AfDing it, would like to see if your initial opinion that "If it exists it's not at all obvious, so probably indicates non-notability" has changed at all. If not, I think I'll open a deletion discussion. Thanks (following any comments on this page). AbstractIllusions (talk) 01:48, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Completely agree. The article seems more about Randall K Wood than the law firm. The anews articles are about other lawyers/law firms. I can't see anything else online apart from directory listings. Sionk (talk) 05:32, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sionk, Thanks so much for your creating the Eileen McGann article from AfC and your significant work on it to improve it to "Start Class" standard. I was pretty frustrated with the AfC experience, so may take your suggestion with future articles to simply create them myself. (I'll sandbox them and ask advice from such as you, first, of course! ;-) ) I've been at work cleaning up the citations (even added a Welsh one for you!) and Categorizing. Any further suggestions or opinions would be appreciated. Spartan26 (talk) 07:10, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Sionk,
Really appreciate you taking the time to review my submission. I made some edits, and added additional sources, more journalistic and relevant for Coots. Can you please take a look and let me know if it's sufficient. If not, I'm happy to research for more news articles.
Hello Sionk,
Really appreciate you taking the time to answer and review my submission. I chatted with the help community, and we worked together for cleaning and adding sources. Then, I'm waiting for a picture approval (I sent the photographer a mail with this template: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries), and i'll forward it to "permissions@wikimedia.org" after. I'm still adding sources when I find relevant one, and keep increasing the submission thanks to your recommendation.
Sionk, thank you for your reviewer comment--it does make sense that Comprehensive Physiology should be included in the American Physiological Society's list of publications. While I am working on that, I thought I would share with you that Comprehensive Physiology is referred to in one of our Editor's entries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Garland,_Jr. The instructions I followed for creating pages for Academic Journals discouraged us from including lists of Editors, or I could have put this link in before. Does this bit of indormation help? Margaretreich (talk) 18:04, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Erika Winters, hi Sionk need support!
Hi Sionk, thanks for your comments on Erika Winters document, I did change some references on the document, seems that there is a perception issue here since I went to the on line live help and the person who helped me told me that the references were OK, please note that some are form Erika’s Web page which shows the actual printout of the Magazine or Newspaper since they are no longer in line. I would appreciate your support on advising which reference is no valid for you so I can either delete it or se how can I improve it.
Your punctual comments will be appreciated.
Thanks, Daniel
Hi Sionk, I submitted this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Renana_Peres. She is a well known researcher in the marketing field. My article was rejected on grounds that my sources were not reliable. The sources I used were books, internet articles that were written about her studies and research papers. I had gone over many wiki articles of academic scholar and did not find even one that didn't contain sources which consist of material published by the scholar or her research team. Still, I have provided several reliable and authentic sources. What other corrections should be done in terms of the references? I would greatly appreciate it if you could point out the problematic refrences.

You mentioned that none of the sources were about Patricia Brown. While one of the sources was not about her (the one about the college chancellor) all of the other sources do mention her by either her name "Patricia" or her nickname Trish. I had someone from the wiki live chat take a look at it and they were confused by your comment as well and said that I should reach out to you for clarification.
I also added more sources and realized that I forgot to include the page numbers for my offline newspaper articles and added those as well. I also removed a couple of sentences that were not directly related to Patricia Brown, like the sentence about the college chancellor.
I appreciate any guidance you can give me - I am new to this!
Dear Sionk - I wrote to you a couple of times last week (regards the additions I made to the page)but I didn't hear back (which is fine as there is no great rush) However, I can't find any reference to the messages I sent you anywhere now so I am unsure you received these or where I go from here. Apologies, I'm new to all this & find it pretty bewildering at times to be honest! Just a brief outline of the requirements now needed would be great - thanks - Rob JeffersonWSoiwittaya (talk) 18:17, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sionk - just added 3 references (citations?)for evidence of place & year of exhibitions - as requested on the page. I imagine that's enough but if you require more please let me know - Thanks - Rob JeffersonWSoiwittaya (talk) 18:45, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I made some changes to the article yesterday. I'm sure if any other editors have a problem with it, they'll let you know. As I've said several times, any grand claims need to be reliably sourced. Reliable sources aren't the gallery that represents him - they're interested in promoting him and his work. Sionk (talk) 22:19, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello
I just resubmitted the above article. I have removed most of the newspaper citations and made it much shorter. It is the first wikipedia entry I have made so I much appreciate your feedback.

See Wikipedia's golden rule of notability. You'll need to prove she was widely known and important by adding reliable, journalistic (or expert book) sources that talk about her in some depth. My understanding of the film making process is the producers are the managers that make sure things happen. The creative leaders are the directors, writers and actors, who usually get the publicity and (justly) the credit for the product. I wish you luck finding relaible coverage about her! Sionk (talk) 16:10, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Medio Article Decline
Hello Sionk,
That's for your comment about news article coverage regarding notability.
Is the problem that the sources are too tech specific?
If so what advice can you give me to fix that? If most of the sources are tech specific do I just wait until the company is referenced is other news?
Yes, that's the idea I'm afraid. Wikipedia is has tough standards that commercial organizations need to meet - outlined in WP:NCORP. Almost all companies will have some sort of mention in speciliast interest websites and publications. The objective is to prove they are more than ordinary and have reached wider notice.

Parsons Paris Clarification
Hello Sionk,
I hope that my last comment on the Parsons Paris (2013) talk page cleared up some of the confusion. Do you need any additional documents to support the claims made?

Your feedback on my article about Russ P. Reeder.
Hi Sionk,
Thanks so much for taking the time to review the article I submitted about Russ P. Reeder. I was wondering whether the edits I made were OK.
Weirdly enough, another reviewer (Woona) just sent me a message about an article about a "Shaun McCarthy" that I never wrote. Not sure what that's about.
Hi Sionk. To answer your question, "Is there any reason you're emptying the categories for British women painters" -- yes, there is. It's my understanding of the categorization guidelines that categorizing painters by gender is not desirable, because gender is not objectively relevant to that activity. There's no inherent skill advantage to either gender. Neither can you choose any canvas at random and identify the gender of the artist. Keeping women painters in their own categories arguably perpetuates a second-class status. All that said, I can see the other side of the argument, and the last thing I want is to descend into a pointless bout of wiki-lawyering.

sam pepper edit
Dear Sionk is there a reason as to why you keep making edits to a page i have created? there is no copyright or anything else that would warrent you making a redirect on that pageKeishlap (talk) 21:55, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Keishla Keishlap (talk) 02:51, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Keishla[reply]
The Sam Pepper article has been created before and discussed by the Wikipedia community at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sam Pepper. The consensus decision was to remove the article and redirect it to the Big Brother article, because Pepper was not notable outside of the TV show. Unless he has done something major since 2011 to attract media attention, there's no justification to recreate the article. He has a brief biography on the List of Big Brother 11 housemates (UK) (which as you know you've tried to remove on three ocasions). Sionk (talk) 22:47, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
He has done a lot of major things since 2011. That was two years ago. If you took the time to read the page instead of just redirecting it you would have known.Keishlap (talk) 22:54, 14 August 2013 (UTC)keishla[reply]
Believe me, I read the page, there was nothing new since 2011. Most of the article was about statistics taken directly from his social media pages. Sionk (talk) 23:04, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sionk,
In your rejection of the subject bio, you mention that the references refer more to Lupien's businesses than to him personally. Most of the reference articles that appeared in trade magazines are quite biographical in nature, citing his reputation and accomplishments as an innovator in electronic trading as the reason for the widespread industry interest in the business. Indeed, the businesses mentioned in these articles, both Instinet and OptiMark, were inseparably identified with Lupien at their time of publication, as he was the one who brought them to prominence. Lupien is pictured personally, sometimes multiple times, in each of these articles. I might also mention that Instinet has a Wikipedia entry, and Lupien is mentioned several times in that entry. As the person who performed the first electronic trade in history and who introduced the first electronic trading system to be widely used in securities markets (Instinet), Lupien is very well known within this industry. Would it be sufficient to point out these notable accomplishments in the Intro paragraph? 97.118.136.218 (talk) 23:34, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not really. The problem is these claims of importance are not reliably sourced (or sourced at all). The claims are already in your draft article, but they are unsourced so will not convince anyone! The sources in the article are about his businesses (and the subject of the article should be Lupiens, not his businesses). Sionk (talk) 22:36, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sionk, I don't understand why you consider the numerous sources cited in the article to be unreliable. All of the industry magazine articles (references [10]-[29]) would fit within the category of news sources, which are generally considered reliable sources by Wikipedia standards, and without exception, they prominently feature Lupien as the key person involved in both Instinet and OptiMark. The same goes for the Harvard Business School case studies (references [1],[2] and [31]). Even the title of one of the articles ([14], Equities, "Wild Bill Rides Again") refers to Lupien by first name, thus indicating his name familiarity in the industry. Wikipedia's entry on Instinet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instinet) describes Lupien as the key player in bringing Instinet to prominence in the securities industry. Lupien has in fact done as much as any man alive today to transform the securities industry from a mainly manual, exchange floor and telephone based operation to the modern age of electronic networks. Other Wikipedia entries on executives in the financial industry (e.g., Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, Ray Dalio) inseparably link these individual's significance to their leadership positions within their corresponding firms (J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Bridgewater Associates, respectively). If you need further convincing, I can put you in touch with prominent individuals in the securities industry who will vouch for Lupien's significance.97.118.143.18 (talk) 17:37, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Anthony White submission - request for more advice
Hi Sionk,
Thanks for reviewing the entry on Anthony White https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Anthony_White
I have included in the article all sources related to this artist that I can find, including one from the Australian Financial Review. In all I have referenced 10 sources, including respected artistic critique and industry bloggers, as well as the aforementioned Australian Financial Review. I'm unsure how these sources might not be reliable. Can you please advise? This is my first post (!), so have I incorrectly cited references or how are they not reliable in your opinion?
I look forward to your response. Cheers Creativeforrest (talk) 12:11, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
New Wales Coast Path WikiProject
As a member of WikiProject Wales, WikiProject Cardiff or an user who has contributed to Welsh articles we invite you to contribute to a new project, Living Paths!: articles, images, translations... Lonely Planet rated the coast of Wales "the best region on Earth" in 2012, yet there is a very low number of articles on the history and culture of places along the Coastal Path. This promises to be an exciting project as it gathers momentum with many Users joining in across the world.
If you are interested in training groups in Wales, please leave a message on the Talk Page. Let's make this WikiProject, like the path itself, the best on earth! And let's put Wales back on the map!
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Geoffrey Michaels, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Violinist (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Sionk: I have edited the article draft "Stuart Crystal (Jewelry)" by adding a few extra reliable sources and trying to link an image from the Victoria and Albert Museum; however, I am new to Wikipedia page-making and I could not figure out how to add images correctly. Please review the article draft again at your convenience. There is very little information available on the web about these historically significant jewels and even if this article is created only as a stub, I believe it will be of great help to historians and collectors.
