Yet another question....

Thanks for taking "Absoft Fortran Compilers" Live

Thank you for taking my submission, "Absoft Fortran Compilers" live. I see a backlog of thousands of pages on individuals and companies that are not encyclopedia articles that seems to be a fairly recent but growing problem that makes it hard for all of us. I suggest that you add a category of first-reviewers whose only job is to separate the wheat from the chaff so that a new, more numerous cadre of volunteers can help there.

I'm a bit dismayed by the "C" quality rating and want to improve the article. For starters, I'm going to restore two figures that dropped off as not linking to an article during the wait period. But the Wikipedia quality ratings summary gives two major reasons for a "C" rating: too much text with too little information, or just too little information. As the single recent author, I have a trees-not-forest perspective that I must overcome to address this well. If you, as a recent reviewer and probably not a Fortran user, have any comments or suggestions for improving the article, please take a few seconds to leave me a message. This can have the effect of making the article better a lot faster if I have the benefit of understanding another viewpoint. -motorfingers- (talk) 06:30, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi, motorfingers! Thanks for the article submission. Wikipedia needs more article creators. The backlog? I never really think there are blatantly un-encyclopedic articles in the backlog, and I don't think there's a problem at all. I make it a point to review at least two old AfCs per day, and I've only rejected two or three of the old ones.

About the "C" rating: a "C" rating is not bad. In fact, I've never written an article assessed to be "C". A "C" makes it better than the majority of articles on Wikipedia. I generally rate about 10% of the AfCs I review "B", 35% "C", 50% "Start", and 5% "Stub". The problems for your article that prevented it from getting "B" were:

• It seemed kind of like an advertisement
• It contained too much(what I thought) irrelevant material
• It contained waaay too many links to self-published or primary sources.

I'd be happy to give the article another look, or you are free to ask another person to review it as well. Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 14:58, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks loads for the three bullets, this is a really big help, as I expected, punching right through the trees-not-forest problem. I think I need a little time to deal with your information. I need a few days to deal with the problems. When I'm done I will get back to you here.

I also noticed that my references and footnotes were cleaned up, a project that I was not relishing. I looked for a "thank" button and found this this was done by... bots! -motorfingers- (talk) 15:21, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

No problem. I personally think bot-writers should fall between "developers" and "stewards" on WP:BITED. ;) Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?}_{2 June 2014 15:23 (UTC)}

Disambiguation link notification for June 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages NIDA and NIMH (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.

I'm Back!

Now that finals are over I'll be able to edit more! I plan to learn a little bit each day on what I'm supposed to do and be more efficient in my editing process.Hopefully I'll get somewhat good at it by the end of the summer. GuitarRocker13 (talk) 01:39, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Yay! I was wondering, would you like me to "adopt" you in adopt-a-user to show you the ropes? Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 02:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

RCAF Station Jarvis

Many thanks for reviewing this article and moving it from draft to article space. I particularly appreciate the ratings and WikiProject notes on the article's talk page. I have a similar article, RCAF Station Guelph, which is already in article space. How may I get RCAF Station Guelph reviewed, and have ratings and WikiProject notes put in its Talk page? Thanks in advance SteveTheAirman (talk) 20:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Simply add the Wikiproject templates to the talk page, and someone from each wikiproject will review it. Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 21:06, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Symphony of the New World

I am redoing the references after you declined the article. The help video on references has an Edit Source tab that I do not see in my Edit Section. Where is the Edit Source tab, so I can go to Named References? I am sorry for the article not being good enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barbara.steinberg (talk • contribs) 03:06, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

It seems another editor has helped you, if you need anything else, let me know. Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 11:53, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Green World Agriculture India Ltd.

Green World Agriculture India Ltd. is a Company Work Agriculture Investment And ll people working in this company and i think wikipedia is for let know to about big things so why you think this is going speedy deletion — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilovethewikis (talk • contribs) 07:54, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're talking about. I did not nominate that article for speedy deletion, that would be OccultZone. Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 11:55, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

I had also nominated it for deletion. It was deleted too. @Ilovethewikis: had posted a complaint on my talk page, just like they did here. OccultZone (Talk) 12:06, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

@Joe Decker:I'm very sorry if I missed anything, but do I have something to do with this? I didn't write this article, right? At least I don't recall doing so...Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 21:12, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Oh goodness, I almost accepted that article, didn't I? Whoops... Thanks for the note! Good thing I couldn't move pages at that time! Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 21:14, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Not to worry! First, there's no easy way you could have seen that before, and second, the accept wouldn't have taken since I've salted the final title. Mostly I was letting you know -- I'd seen you'd comment on the article -- and I wanted to let you know I'd had an issue with the article. I figured my someone opaque denial there could probably use some explanation to you, that's all. With any luck, the contributing editor will actually come and discuss the issue. Thanks, and have a great week! --j⚛e decker^talk 21:17, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Aaah, no wonder I couldn't move! Thanks for the clarification! Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 23:22, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

A bit of help needed

Hi. I was just wondering, is it normal at SPI for accounts to be confirmed as socks by a CU but not blocked for three days? They're still not blocked. Case is here. I was just wondering; if I'm just being impatient, please let me know. Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 03:08, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately, SPI cases often hang around for a long time waiting to be dealt with, often much more than three days. In my experience that is particularly common at the stage of waiting for a CU, because there just aren't enough CUs, but it also happens when the case is waiting for an administrator (as seems to be the case here), partly because not enough admins choose to work on SPIs, and partly because some SPIs are really difficult and time consuming, so admins tend to avoid those SPIs. Thanks for drawing attention to this one: I'll have a look at it now. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:01, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 19:10, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

I have just closed the SPI. After posting to your page above, I did nothing but work on that case until I closed it, and that took me 39 minutes. I am not willing to block just because checkuser says so, without checking the behavioural evidence myself, two of the accounts did not have checkuser confirmation so I had to look into those, and I had to have a reasonably detailed knowledge of the case to be able to decide what to do about the master account: those are the reasons why it took me so long. That was a much simpler and more straightforward case than many that I have seen, so perhaps you can get some idea why complex cases tend to be avoided by admins.

Confused...

Hello, I was trying to make an edit on a page. I apparently don't know the rules or etiquette when editing a Wikipedia account and my edit was removed by you. Is there a way you could explain to me what I did wrong and how I can fix it?...the page was Jim Dreyer That profile is so outdated and very inaccurate.

@KatMurph79:I'm sorry, I don't see any edit made by that account except posting on my talk page. Please point me to the exact edit? Thanks, Lixxx235^{Got a complaint?} 12:36, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I am sorry if it looks like I am using this for social media. Actually, I am not. It is just that I like to fix links (I am really a perfectionist ) and I have just started to edit more articles. Thanks for telling me, though! Brmedia 18:32, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

I nominated said article for speedy deletion under G11, but it was removed. He put a template on it stating that it is under major reconstruction, and no editing should take place. What do you think? Thanks, ❀Larksky12358❀^Guestbook 01:20, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

You are not suitable to be a Wikipedia admin. You see above where it says 'Encyclopedic content must be verifiable'? All I did was remove the venture capitalist tag because it is not verified. How is this defamatory or libelous? You are not following Wikipedia's policy.
