WebPT article

Hi. I see that you've added the advert tag to the WebPT Wiki article I just posted. I really tried to put it in NPOV but obviously didn't succeed. Would you be willing to work with me to get it in NPOV? Or point out some things I can change? I would really appreciate it. Thank you. JNorman704 (talk) 22:55, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, WP:Words to watch may be of use to you, JNorman704. In particular, the article lists a bunch of potentially obscure/non-notable awards. Words such as "launched" and "fastest-growing" make it promotional. If someone thinks it's good, then you must say, "According to X, Y is true." Good luck, — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 20:57, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the input, kikichugirl. I will take a look at the words and revise the article accordingly. JNorman704 (talk) 19:41, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi kikichugirl. I made some edits to the WebPT article per your suggestions and was wondering if you'd take another quick look? And if it looks good to you, would you consider removing the advert tag? I really appreciate your help. JNorman704 (talk) 00:20, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

In all honesty, JNorman704, I'd rather leave it up to an uninvolved editor to remove the tag, but in the meantime, your article kind of reads like a list of bulleted facts. I'd recommend expanding them more into prose or combining them so that it's more detailed about everything. I'm sorry I can't be of much help - advertisement tone is something that I sort of "sense" after some time on the site here, and after reading a lot of wikipedia's best articles. As a result of this sort of sniffing out I'm not very good at advising you on how to fix it either. Actually, might I suggest that... If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, the IRC channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 07:31, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

OK, thanks kikichugirl for all your guidance.JNorman704 (talk) 19:37, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Formal tone isssue in Article

Hi Kikichugirl,

I appreciate your review on my article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jason_Kothari . However, I could not clearly understand the style and tone error message from you. I did check the link provided for the same but not familiar with most of it.

Request you to please help me fix this.

Look forward to your revert.

Hi, the language you used is pretty promotional in nature. In particular, it lauds his many achievements and is almost like he's being self-aggrandizing. Wikipedia isn't a place to brag about someone being great. In fact, one should note that everything must be a dry analysis of a person. Language such as "led the acquisition out of bankruptcy" is pretty promotional. Words to watch and WP:FLOWERY may help you fix the tone. Good luck. — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 20:57, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Kikichugirl,

As per you instruction I have toned down the article and removed all the promotional point except facts and figures appeared on reputed publications.

Let me know if there is anything else you want me to work on.

Look forward to your approval and guidance.

Thanks, Manjeet — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manjeetcare (talk • contribs) 16:46, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

@Manjeetcare: I'm sorry to decline it again, but it's still too promotional. In particular, it's still kind of making him look like a saint of sorts. Take a look at some featured articles for examples, perhaps. Good luck! — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 08:51, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kikichugirl: I understand, guidelines are meant to be followed. However, please give a look to the revised version. Thanks, Manjeeet

Hi Kikichugirl,

Hope you're doing well. i was wondering if you can give a look to the amended article. Hope this time I'll not disappoint you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manjeetcare (talk • contribs) 04:21, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

@Manjeetcare: Thanks for your persistence and hard work, I understand that Wikipedia can be a complicated place to navigate! Unfortunately... It's still too promotional in my opinion, and I'm not sure about notability. A third opinion would be nice - maybe the wonderful people like primefac or Lixxx235 can help us out here. In the meantime, consider breaking your article into sections. What is the guy's early life? what about his personal life? his impact? and another section about his company? It seems like he's only notable for being the managing partner of the comapny, which isn't really ideal. Have you taken a look at some of wikipedia's best articles? They're all pretty neutral and dry. — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 07:38, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

header added

Thanks for your help. I trimmed down the longer summary I wrote on the original submission which was rejected, and input it back in. I added more information regarding the themes to give the summary more substance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Confessions_of_Sylva_Slasher

This has taken me a very long time to complete as it is very, very confusing to get everything correct. I am truly lost, and have no idea what to do to make it acceptable, but I am open for suggestions.

kk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kristophkincaid (talk • contribs) 05:57, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Kristophkincaid, and welcome! Sorry you've been having trouble. I should have been more clear. In particular, the length of the plot summary before I declined it was better than it is right now. The problem is that the article is still mostly plot summary and characters. What about the reviews? The impact? the history? the writing and ideas for its conception? There are so many other things you could write about in an article about a novel that isn't just a plot summary :) Maybe you could see some of wikipedia's best articles for inspiration. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, the IRC channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 21:19, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello Kikichugirl! Wow, thanks for getting back to me on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Confessions_of_Sylva_Slasher

@Kristophkincaid: Tokyogirl's comments on your decline notice explained it better than I ever could have. Good luck, — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 08:46, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, Kikichugirl. Tokyogirl's comments made me realize that the more I tried to stick to the suggestions all the editors made, the more I got away from what everyone wanted and what Wikipedia requires. This novel was good but not worth any more of my time, as I see this author is truly not noteworthy, at least not for the time being. Thanks so very much for all the time and effort. You are the best! Have a wonderful week.

kk Kristophkincaid (talk) 11:29, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Kristophkincaid, yes, Wikipedia can be a difficult place to navigate. It is for that reason why creating an article as the very first thing you do isn't always recommended, because learning all those policies at once can be a hassle. Would you consider joining a project like WP:WikiProject Novels? More and more help is appreciated and you seem like a wonderful person who would do good work when you know policy. — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 07:41, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kikichugirl:

Hi there :)

I noticed you rejected my submission Conscience: Taxes for Peace not War. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Conscience:_Taxes_for_Peace_not_War

A previous user Tokyogirl79, had similar concerns and I thought I dealt with her concerns (the Recent Activity section).

Could you please point out exactly, which parts of the article need to be changed to be accepted? :)

Your help would be much appreciated :)

Thank you

ZRay22 (talk) 11:06, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

@ZRay22:(talk page watcher) Thanks for your note. Every part of the article must be as neutral as possible. That means that you cannot throw in a section that looks to contain a couple of neutral paragraphs and say that the whole article is now neutral. To editor Kikichugirl: This is one that probably requires your direct attention; can you elaborate on why you declined this one? --L235 (alt / t / c / ping in reply) 01:59, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Well, I guess it doesn't look too bad. Lixxx235, if you want to accept it, go ahead, I've no objections. Alternatively, ZRay22, I will accept it on your understanding that if someone objects to the tone, you understand that they could take it to deletion processes or list it for maintenance. Does that sound acceptable to you? — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 07:54, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kikichugirl:

Hi :)

I hope I am doing this right as I don't seem to have gotten the hang of communication on Wikipedia : )

I am happy to accept it on the understanding that if someone objects to the tone, I understand that they could take it to deletion processes or list it for maintenance. If any issues are flagged up again, and somebody makes a specific complaint about the page, I'm happy to deal with those as they come.

What would happen next?

Hi Kikichugirl,

Thank you for reviewing the page that I am working on: yourmembership.com.

I would like to know what additional information I can add or remove in order to improve the article. I modeled the page closely to other software companies like Sage Group and Cvent because I thought that would be the best way to ensure that it wasn't a promotional post.

Your guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks, Freshy4321 Freshy4321 (talk) 20:02, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Freshy4321 (talk) 20:02, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

@Freshy4321:(talk page watcher) Thanks for the message. One of the biggest concerns (and this wasn't mentioned directly in the decline, but I feel this takes precedence over the advert decline) is that I don't see any indication that yourmembership.com is notable. The thing is, notability is a property of article topics, not of articles. Nothing you can do to an article will make a subject notable, you can merely show that the subject is notable through the inclusion of references to coverage in independent sources. See WP:GNG, and if you still feel that yourmembership.com is notable, come back here and we'll discuss the promotional tone. Thanks, --L235 (alt / t / c / ping in reply) 20:11, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

@Lixxx235: Thank you for reviewing the profile. I feel that the YourMembership.com entry is notable because the software is used by over 20 million users. Additionally, the organization has a global footprint with offices in the US, UK and soon to be opened in Australia. Freshy4321 (talk) 20:10, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Freshy4321, yes that may be a sign that they are notable, however Wikipedia's notability guideline is pretty specific to Wikipedia itself. Specifically, you need to have it be mentioned by published sources independent of the subject. See WP:42. If you cannot demonstrate notabilty, then it is usually grounds for deletion. WP:NCORP may be of use. — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 20:23, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Deborah Valdez - Hung

Hi Kikichugirl,

Can you tell us in specific which sentence/s in this article need to be improved and how the wordings we use are not in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article?

Your advice is highly appreciated!

King Louis XIII Macau Deborah Valdez - Hung (talk) 03:18, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

@Deborah Valdez - Hung:(talk page watcher) First, who is "we"? It is not allowed for different people to ever use a single Wikipedia account. Now, assuming you're referring to Draft:Deborah Valdez-Hung, the article does not appear to be written in high-quality English. It is quite short and is very promotional, which is not allowed. Further, the sources don't appear to show notability. If you have further questions, feel free to leave another note. --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 21:06, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Mona Bijoor

Hi Kikichugirl, I was wondering if you could take a look at this draft for me. You rejected it once and the author improved the references and re-submitted it. The person who reviewed it the second time declined it for the same reason. However, looking at the sources it seems that there is some extensive coverage about the person, and seems to me that it is plenty to pass WP:GNG. I'm afraid we may be biting a newcomer, who seems to have put together a decent article. Maybe I'm wrong and my standards for new articles isn't high enough, but wanted a second opinion. Thanks! -War wizard90 (talk) 06:23, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi War wizard90, I am aware that my standards for AfC accepts are exceedingly high. That being said, I declined it because some of the sources weren't really indepth enough, however, you're welcome to accept it; I would not object if you did. Please understand that when I accept an article I promise to defend it at AfD/assure the newbie that it will not go to AfD, and sometimes there are entries which fall into a gray area that I'm not really sure if I should take that responsibility. Thanks for the feedback! — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 00:31, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for responding, just to be clear, I understood why you initially rejected it, I was just wondering if you agree with the second reject by another user, or if you thought the new sources were enough to establish notability. I do understand why you would want to have higher standards at AfC to avoid an article you approved going to AfD, I hadn't really thought about that aspect of it, so maybe I should just mind my business. I haven't been involved much in AfC before. -War wizard90 (talk) 06:09, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Request on 09:47:12, 12 March 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Laoswikiedit

Hi Kikichugirl, I do not really understand your issues regarding Draft:Wolfram Wöß, so I picked out the three points you criticized and explained my point of view.

1. Advertisement: I can not follow this point. The article simply summarizes the projects I lead and workshops I chaired - what else should one include in an article about a professor and researcher? Comparing it to articles with other researchers, they look similar in my opinion.
2. Neutral point of view: The article consists basically of facts about projects, workshops and research done. Everything cited by external sources. What is missing/too much to be not neutral?
3. Reliable sources: Are the official website of the Johannes Kepler University Linz, their research documentation (FoDoK) and their research magazine (Univariationen) not reliable? What is with Links to several Conferences (DEXA, DAWAK)? What do you miss? Should I exclude my personal website?

Kind regards, Wolfram Wöß

Laoswikiedit, the thing is, your lead is gigantic, and then the rest of your sections are only links to other places and whatnot. As a result, it's easy to focus on that contribution list taking up an entire section, which makes it look less neutral. While your sources may not be inherently unreliable, you should look for third-party sources that establish notability. I hope that helps.

Even, the expressions that appeared like peacock expressions have been removed. Tis personality undoubtedly, holds a prominent position in the literary, cultural, socio-political of Gurjar Community in India and such deserves to be included in Wikipedia Articles Section.

AfC Submission - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

Hi Kikichugirl

Thank you for the super quick review of the following AfC submission.

Draft - Small Luxury Hotel of the World

This is the second time this has been declined. And on both occasions it states that the article isn't written in neutral points of view, should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources and about verifiability and the notability of the subject.

From what I can see on other similar pages the tone is quite neutral and we have referred to third party sources for each of the section/data point in the article. Im not too sure about the notability but this is big, reputed and noteworthy company/brand that has won awards in the travel sector many times and has hotels around the globe.

Please help me with the article - how can I improve it and is there anything I should add or delete. Do you think adding the entire list of 520 hotels like this article The_Leading_Hotels_of_the_World will help?

Please help me.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.161.6.58 (talk) 12:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

No, adding the list of 520 hotels would make it more promotional. But your article is still pretty short, which would make it hard to demonstrate notability. The problem with the tone is that right now it reads like "A brief history of the company" that investors would be interested in. Maybe for comparable articles, take a look at WP:FA. — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 22:03, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. I am not adding the list of hotels. Do you think adding a section on the awards SLH has won would look promotional as well?

I completely understand your point. But from what I can see and understand, I have used a neutral tone. Investors wouldn't need to look at a Wikipedia page to make their investing decision. They will look for more complex data and trustworthy financials, isn't it? There isn't much more relevant information to add to make it more 'encyclopaedic' without making it further promotional. I have added a section on Charity Partnerships that it hink is relevant. And added a sentence here and there. Hope this is looking better and get accepted. Really this isn't a promotional exercise and a creative and loved travel brand like SLH deserves to have a wiki page. Thank you once again for all your help and support.

If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, the IRC channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. — kikichugirl ^oh hello! 22:13, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:German Federal Cultural Foundation (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Dear Kikichugirl,

thanks for reviewing the draft for the wikipedia article about the German Federal Cultural Foundation.

I saw that you reclined the draft - as I would still like to pursue the idea of having an article about the Foundation in the english Wikipedia, could you tell me what to change and to improve to realize this?

The Foundation is a 100% government-financed non-profit institution to promote culture&arts. Funding is also open to foreigners as well as international projects like TURN - a Fund for Artistic Cooperation between Germany and African Countries - are directly supporting projects abroad. http://www.kulturstiftung-des-bundes.de/cms/en/programme/Afrika/turn.html

To especially create awareness of these funding chances for foreigners and to provide reliable information about the Foundation, it would be perfect to have an english wikipedia article similar to the german one. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulturstiftung_des_Bundes

I understand the problems of verifiability and notability, but I think in the case of the Federal Cultural Foundation those problems can be solved. As user Sam Tailor also stated, notability is existent: Comment: Undoubtedly notable, we just need some references to good sources to verify it. -- Sam Sing! 03:55, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

After including citations to reliable sources - what else can I do to improve the article?

Please also see examples of other international funding institutions: Arts Council Norway and Swedish Arts Council

Thank you very much in advance!

Bundeskulturstiftung (talk) 08:18, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Bundeskulturstiftung, the issue is not necessarily your sources (though you could use a few more for the unsourced paragraphs), but the tone of the article (it's a bit promotional). Phrases like "projects which have an unmistakeable international relevance or otherwise clearly fall within the scope" utilise OPED terms bordering on PEACOCK. A Wiki article should be "just the facts" as they say. We're not promoting the Council, but only giving the information about its forming, history, and relevant works.

As an editorial note, in the Programmes section you give a list of programmes, and then talk about a whole different set of them. I'm not sure why the first list isn't talked about in the second (and vice versa) but the descriptions need to be referenced. And again, there are entire sections that are unreferenced - add some or remove them entirely if you cannot find reliable third-party sources. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, the IRC channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. User:Primefac (talk) 09:59, 19 March 2015 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

Seeking input on fixing article

Hi Kikichugirl.

Looking to alter the draft article so that it falls within a neutral tone as required. I was interested to know in what spots of the article I should focus the most attention on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:The_Intelligence_Community.com

Firefox85 (talk) 00:25, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Firefox85, regardless of neutral tone, your draft must have more independent reliable sources that talk about the Community. At the moment, you only have its own website and an interview (both of which are PRIMARY, neither of which do anything to demonstrate its notability. You'll probably notice that I have removed the Wikipedia and LinkedIn references, as they are not valid sources. As for the tone, it reads a bit like a recruitment poster, but I think that with the addition of more valid sources the extra text will minimize that interpretation. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, the IRC channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 00:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

Draft:Manish Kejriwal

Dear Kikichugirl,

Thanks for reviewing my article draft:Manish Kejriwal. In your feedback you have mentioned that this submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. I'd like to focus on the right areas and so would be grateful for any guidance on specifically which parts should be changed. Request if you could please let me know if there was a problem in the language or structure. Thanks in advance. Vinayr003 (talk) 08:27, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Vinayr003, the promotional language in the body of the text is the least of your concerns. A massive chunk of text has been removed (for the second time) for being directly being copied from another website. This is against the COPYVIO rules. As Kejriwal is a living person, per WP:BLP protocols there should be many more inline citations, especially in the big paragraphs. You already have a fair number of news articles in the References section, so it should be fairly easy to incorporate them into the text; remember that PRIMARY sources are discouraged and independent reliable sources are preferred. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, the IRC channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 18:31, 23 March 2015 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

Draft:Bezalel Inc.

Oyecrystal (talk) 23:00, 20 March 2015 (UTC)Hi Kikichugirl, Thank you for your suggestion. I have read the Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) and the golden rules. I am sorry that, did you see the report by LA times? So do you think the LA times is not a notability resource? I also noticed that under the Examples section of Inductive charging( known as wireless charging) mention Bezalel.Inc. Thanks!Oyecrystal (talk) 23:00, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Oyecrystal, the report from the LA times is a one-paragraph statement saying the company sold some product. If you wanted to write a page on ARK, then your references would be stellar. However, you're trying to write about Bezalel, and none of your references actually talk about the company itself. Wikipedia requires multiple independent reliable sources that discuss the subject itself (not its products) in order to demonstrate notability. As a side note, you have a fairly large CITEKILL in the "Success on Kickstarter" section that should be looked at. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, the IRC channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 18:42, 23 March 2015 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

  • Draft:Venkatrama Hariharan (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Have been trying to create this article on my late grand father Dr V Hariharan who was a freedom fighter, physician and social worker of repute during the first half of the 20th Century. Unfortunately, there is not much on him on the net barring a few references here and there as what i know of him, he was a true Gandhian who never believed in showcasing his work or claiming credit for what he did. This is just my small attempt to give a little due for what all he has done. The narrative is based on information i have gathered from living sources (people) who knew him, of which the dates, people and events mentioned I have been able to corroborate with actual events in history. Therefor, it is requested that the article be approved. Arunharry2015 (talk) 05:01, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Kikichugirl, Thanks for all your efforts. I have cut out a lot of flab in the article as advised and wherever a 'citation needed' was marked and I am unable to provide one, I have removed that particular input. Only important information is regarding award of LMP degree to Dr Hariharan in 1921. This is a fact confirmed to me verbally by people who knew him. Unfortunately as the information is of an event almost a 100 years ago, i am unable to provide a citation for the same as i have no document or web reference regarding the same. I hope the article fits the bill now. Thanks once again and sorry for my premature re-submissions which was more out of enthusiasm rather than any thing else- this being my first ever article.

Notability issue

Hi Kikichugirl,

i have resubmitted my article Draft:Growthgate a few days ago with new sources and it still got rejected even though it no longer has the notability problem.

can you please tell me what i need to do to get it accepted?

--Larsa.Max (talk) 12:53, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Larsa.Max (talk • contribs) 07:35, 22 March 2015

Part Notability, part not being able to have a dialog.

As I have written before, at age 90.65 I have difficulty with all this technology. After you have considered your own reply to the following, please can you forward it to the two others who reviewed my article. I am unable to track them down My draft was at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Rinaldo_Paluzzi

Now as to the issue:

After examining the use of the term Notable, I wish to again submit my article concerning Rinaldo Paluzzi. Those of you that rejected it did so based on: “he was not Notable.” Notability referrers to standing among those in one’s peer group, therefore I examined articles on artists in Paluzzi’s peer group which are on Wikipedia.

However, before I relate any comparisons, I shall list the areas in which Paluzzi excelled (i.e. was Notable.)

1) His whole life following receiving a fine-arts education was producing paintings and sculptures, the sale of which not only supported his family and provided funds for his visits overseas, but more important, allowed him to devote 100% of his time to his profession (i.e. he did not need to teach or to accept other employment throughout his fifty-six year long career.) 2) His work Totem is a major piece, qualifying his work to have its own article in Wikipedia. 3) His work is in 12 Museum Collections; quite an achievement. 4) From 1958, beginning with being shown in “Young American Artists” in Rome to the year 2000, where he was shown at Centro Municipal de Exposiciones, Instituto Municipal de Cultura, Elche (Alicante) Paluzzi’s work was exhibited in over twenty-two galleries and individual exhibitions. 5) From 1984. Beginning with ARCO'84, Madrid, Galeria Denise Rene, Paris until 2005, at the Galeria Aele-Evelyn Botella in Madrid, his work has been shown in more than eight major collective exhibitions. 6) In 1966, when Paluzzi had an exhibition at the Galeria Luana in Madrid, Fernando Zobel de Ayala y Montojo, the Director of Museo de Arte Abstracto Espanol, Cuenca, Spain praised (in writing) what Paluzzi had accomplished (the details of which were in my draft article). What Montojo wrote is the stuff of what Notability is all about.

Below I have listed only a few of Paluzzi’s peers, all of whom have their own article in Wikipedia. You might reply that none of them are Notable and do not belong in Wikipedia; but they are there and in my opinion Paluzzi is equally Notable (if not more Notable) to all of them and deserves his own page in Wikipedia. I look forward to your reply.

Neutral tone

Hi there,

I'm trying to make my article for the London Community Foundation sound more formal/not promotional. Any help with specific words that I could change would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Jennycobb (talk) 14:35, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) One big problem is also your references, as they are all primary (from the charity) sources. We do not accept sources like that as they would be biased toward the subject. We need secondary sources outside of the charity that cover it in depth, i.e a news article about them that covers them in depth. Please see WP:VERIFY for more information.

Draft Pressat

Hi Kikichugirl,

Nice to meet you and thanks for handling my page. I was hoping to get more information about my submission and some help from you if possible please :)

You cited the need for more reliable and notable references, i have added a couple more and also took not of previous comments about the subjective tone.

It would be great for you to help me with the page, as you can see i'm not yet custom to wiki, but im trying! and it would be fantastic to get my first page live.

thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.6.130.178 (talk) 09:45, 24 March 2015

Hello IP, I took a look at your draft, and it still needs some work. The references you added do not actually talk about Pressat, but simply mention them in passing. I did, however, find a few that actually talked about the company and/or what it was doing, so I added those to the reflist. The rest are in a separate "further reading" section because they mostly talk about the same things as the existing references and do not add any new or notable information. That being said, the references you do have are much in the same vein - they simply say "...according to Pressat" or "Pressat said ..." without talking about the company itself. Wikipedia requires multiple independent reliable sources that discuss the subject in detail. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, the IRC channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 10:44, 24 March 2015 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

Thanks for responding and adding further to the article, you have a good eye for detail! The article does have 5-10 medium/notable references now.

XXGADGET135XX, if you want to join a WikiProject, all you have to do is find one (the full list is here) and add your name to the members list. I would also suggest watching the page so that you know when people post on it.

Good afternoon: We still don't undertand why our article abour our organization does not meet your requirements. In fact, we have the very same article published in Spanish Wikipedia (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimyth), which says exactly the same, but in Spanish, and we do not know how is it possible that we cannot be in English Wikipedia, as we own important software quality tools, such as Kiuwan, for static analysis in the cloud. And we do not even figure on the static analysis tools list.

We have reviewed our article hundreds of times and we took Klockwork and Veracode articles as reference, and we wrote this one based closely on them, so we do not get why they have their pages published and we do not.

Please, let us know...
