Review of submission : Yasmina

Hello . Thanks for your review of my submission of article : Yasmina My username is Yasmina Fan I don't know how to make the citation in English if the source website is completely in Arabic , can you explain a way to do that ? Also I tried to write in a neutral tone and avoid all peacock terms. Almost every sentence I wrote is referenced , so the opinion is not mine, its from the reference website. So I don't really understand where is the error in my writing tone. Please explain and I will fix. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yasmina Fan (talk • contribs) 21:54, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Yasmina Fan - First, simply translate the Arabic into English. Second, you need to not use her first name in the article, instead use her surname as per MOS. But frankly, she doesn't seem to meet the notability requirements. She's never had a national tour, never won a major award, and never won a major contest (sorry, but Arabs got talent is not a major music contest). Onel5969 (talk) 11:21, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Help Understanding the changes that need to be made

NeoLife1958 (talk) 02:47, 1 April 2015 (UTC) My page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Arthur_Furst. I don't understand what changes have to be made. I cited sources. I am making this wiki page on behalf of my company, GNLD International and most of the info is from a site we made for Arthur Furst: http://www.gnldcontent.com/ArthurFurst/index.htmlNeoLife1958 (talk) 02:47, 1 April 2015 (UTC)NeoLife1958

Hi NeoLife1958 - There are several major issues with your article. First, the one I declined it for, is that the article is drastically under-referenced. Time and again, you make assertions or statement without reference. For example, Early life is totally unreferenced. As is the Passions section (which should probably be completely deleted since it most likely falls under WP:TRIVIA). 1952 - unreferenced, 1954 - same. The list goes on and on. Second, you have a large WP:NPOV issue. Get rid of all the WP:PEACOCK terms like: tragically, genius for the sciences, revolutionary, beloved; report on facts don't paint a flowery picture. Third, you have a formatting issue. Please see the Manual of Style and the Layout guide to show you how to structure your article, and how to format the layout. Fifth, the publications section needs to be virtually deleted. You should have a brief mention (like you do in the lead) that he's been published frequently, and list perhaps 4-5 of his most notable articles, then reference the section with a citation which shows a list of his publications. Finally, you need to format, and more completely fill out your citations. All the articles need their authors and page numbers, for example. You can find templates at WP:CIT.

One last thing, I've added a potential conflict of interest tag to the article. You have a close association with the subject, and editors should know that. Doesn't mean you can't write the article, but does mean that you have to be careful about presenting a neutral point of view. Hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 11:43, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Tricot

Hi, just wondering what more I should do with Draft:Tricot (band). As far as I can tell the article satisfies criteria 1, 2 and 4 of the notability guidelines. Could you explain why it doesn't satisfy any of these? Pwrong (talk) 02:53, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Pwrong - regarding #2, while you state they charted there are no links to those chart positions, therefore it is an uncited claim, which doesn't meet the criteria. There is no evidence that they toured in any country (appearing at 4 festivals is not a "tour"). Regarding #1, - in my opinion, they don't meet this criteria either, with the current citations. The first is a brief promo piece; the second is a blog (which doesn't count as reliable in terms of notability; the third is a nice article, but from a fringe source; the fourth is a pr piece, not reliable; the fifth is a brief mention of the band; the sixth is another unreliable source; and the seventh is equivalent to YouTube, which is another unreliable source. Hardly qualifies under #1. However, since I declined it, I see you have added a link to the Oricon charts, you've resubmitted it, and I'll let another editor take a look.

Chrisnb

Hi Onel5969. I reviewed this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Disinfect_(band). Should show the validity of the sources.

Hi Chrisnb - I responded on the draft page. Hope it makes sense. Onel5969 (talk) 11:53, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Onel5969. It helped me out, thanks for that. I still have problems with the validity of the sources. In this case I listed renown sources in several languages, still the referencing seems to be an issue. I thought Magazines do count as 3rd party sources.

Hi Chrisnb - you're almost there. Those 3 articles help. If they were from major sources you would probably meet the criteria, but since they are from lesser-known, fringe sources, you'll need at least another 2-3 to show notability. But those are definitely the type we're looking for. Onel5969 (talk) 14:09, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello,

i added new documents on the page : one on ( Reference ) , one "offical website" on (External links) and sources from Wikipedia on (See also )

am i on the good way ??????

Bichetteln (talk) 14:56, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bichetteln - Yes and no. The letelegramme and le-petitbleu are decent articles. I would think you would need another 1-2 articles like that to show notability. Wikipedia can't be a reference to itself. Also, get rid of the LinkedIn link, doesn't belong Wikipedia. The official website should be included, but doesn't help with notability. The references, however, need to be in-line citations. See referencing for beginners, to help you with that. Good luck. Onel5969 (talk) 14:21, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

JAM Paper & Envelope's Notability

Hello Onel5969,

A couple months ago you declined my article for "JAM Paper & Envelope". I'm wondering, was it close to being accepted? I thought I referenced a good amount of legitimate sources. Is there a certain type of source I would need that would push my article to be accepted? Do I need a company profile from a big news source?

Thanks, Vargarnar (talk) 16:09, 1 April 2015 (UTC)Vargarnar

Hi Vargarnar - I think you were very close. The first two references are very good for showing notability. If you came up with another solid 1-2 like that, I think you'd be good to go. Onel5969 (talk) 14:32, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Tamponatura

Dear onel5969, we got your message and we edited the page so it can meet the requirements of wikipedia. We are actually trying to translate the Italian page http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamponatura already available in wikipedia, since there's no wiki page for this masonry type. Moreover I would like to underline that the Italian page has no reference, whereas we referred to european standards and a european approved project. Please, let us know if it is still not worth to be accepted.

Best regards.

Hi Dicea.unipd - First, thanks for taking the time to translate articles. That's a pretty important undertaking. I can't speak to the standards of other wikis, but on the English Wikipedia we do have some standards as in regard to both notability and verifiability (which, in my opinion, is as it should be, since Wikipedia is attempting to become a credible encyclopedia). That said, your two sources may be enough to show both the notability and to provide the necessary verification for the underlying facts of the article. I'm going to let other editors weigh in on the piece, since construction is not really my forte. I usually like to see at least 3 sources, which is why a declined the article in the first place. But it is very well written. If no other editor gets to it by next Monday, let me know, and I'll spend some time on it. Happy editing. Onel5969 (talk) 14:45, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to ask for advice on how to formalize the tone of the article.

Hi Onel5969, would you please let me know how to formalize the tone of the article so that it is in line with Wikipedia's standards? I'm also having a little trouble figuring out which details are worthy of the article (such as the show that he produces and which comedy publications have written about him). I think he's definitely notable enough for inclusion based on other comedians who have Wikipedia entries. Thank you.

Davidwrubin (talk) 16:52, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Davidwrubin - It's a very short article, so don't use flowery descriptions, like unique and off-beat (you're not pitching him to an agent). Simply state facts. And don't draw conclusions. When you say insiders and audiences, that's a conclusion. In addition, I don't think you've met the notability requirement. While your articles are good, since they are mostly interviews, they are primary sources. Notability comes from secondary sources. You'll need about 3 of those types to show notability. And be aware of over-citing. Usually a single citation will suffice, at most two, and if something is very contentious, 3. But NEVER more than 3. Hope this helps.

Bjorn Gunnar Lefnaer - Resubmission Question

Hi, I am AnkaIva

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

I understand that more reliable sources are needed. We found two articles about Mr.Lefnaer. Both in foreign magazines. One in French and another in German. One talks about his hobby as an avid luxury cars collector. Another is talking about him running his multimilloan euro company.

but We only have hard copies, no electronic links to it. If I make a reference to both magazines, names and dates of publication but without an electronic links, would they be accepted by Wiki editors?

Thanks so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ankaiva (talk • contribs) 17:10, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi again Ankaiva - first thing, when you leave a message, don't forget to "sign it" by using the four ~ . That helps editors know who they're talking to. Now to your question, yes, citations do not have to be available online, that only makes it easier to verify. But if you do use hard copies, make the citation as complete as possible (magazine, volume/edition, pages, author, title, date, etc). You can find out about citation formatting at WP:CIT. Hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 18:58, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Question about article submission

Onel5969,

First, thank you for reviewing my submission: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mark_Anthony_%28Author/Psychic%29

I was hoping you could point out any examples where the Article (NPOV) could be improved so that I could make the edits required for approval. Thank you, ewaretroy — Preceding unsigned comment added by EwareTroy (talk • contribs) 21:56, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi EwareTroy - Don't be descriptive, just state facts. No need to say a "published author.[1], licensed attorney[2], certified mediator", simply say, "author, attorney and mediator". Don't use trademark, copyright, etc. symbols. Only use his surname to refer to him after the initial mention of him in the lead. Don't use peacock terms like "distinguished" "prestigious", etc. Get rid of all the YouTube references. It's not a reliable source. You can create a section called "External links", and put a very small selection (no more than 3-4) there. Likewise, delete 90% of the tv mentions in that one paragraph. Simply say he's appeared on numerous television shows, and mention the top 3 or 4. You might also take a look at the Manual of Style and Layout manual to help you with figuring out the sections and layout of your article. Above all, be neutral. Tell us about the subject, don't sell him to us. Hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 19:14, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Onel5969,

Thank you again for the clarification. I will try to clear up the article and resubmit. Your feedback and assistance is appreciated. EwareTroy — Preceding unsigned comment added by EwareTroy (talk • contribs) 20:21, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

• Harold Sloan (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Christopher R King (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi One15969 Thanks for reviewing the Chris King article. you say he is not a notable person. Is this because he doesn't have a college education? He's a serial entrepreneur with quite a large social media following. He's also involved in charitable work. Can you give me a steer to improve the chances of approval. Kind regards

Harold Sloan (talk) 22:06, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Harold Sloan - Actually I didn't say he wasn't notable. The template response states that the citations currently in the article don't show his notability. The first Forbes article is a really nice article, but it's mostly an interview, which is a primary source, the second is a bad link, and I can't find the correct article, and the third is a mere mention of him. Their are two general types of citations: those for notability and those for verifiability. Notability cites need to be from secondary sources which are reliable. They also cannot be mere mentions of him. If that first Forbes piece had simply been an article about him, it would be perfect. For notability purposes, you should have about 3 articles of that type referenced. I did a quick search, but unfortunately, there must be hundreds of folks with the same name. Three other things. First, according to the charity source, it's Christopher R. King, so I'll move the draft to that namespace. Second, since it's a blp (biography of a living person), all the assertions in the article will need verification. You can use citations like the Forbes article for that. For example, you talk about him losing his money in the real estate crash, since that's mentioned in the Forbes article, you could move the citation to the end of that sentence. But you'll need a citation for the film. Third, please take a look at WP:CIT, which gives you a format to correctly format your citations. Hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 18:39, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Rejection of article

If I had the flair for writing, then there would not have been the need for editors. Your explanation on what needs to be done in order for the draft to be approved is quite unclear for me. Could you please be able to provide a much simpler outline of what exactly are you looking for to approve of the draft. The person is an author of 4 books, that is not just a directory listing, that is considered a reference as per APA and other methodologies. Like the Apple process of app approval, the acceptance or rejections are based on your feelings and perceptions. The links that you have outlined do not explain your perspective and perceptions. So could you please outline what it would require for this article to be approved? There are more links and resources in that article than in many of the approved articles on other similar personalities. I am sure that you are a fair editor that wants to help create history not be selective about who is worthy enough based on your choices. There are so many other individuals that are NON American and do more amazing things but since they are not covered in the media or have links cannot be included. That is totally unfair to the achievements of those individuals.

I think this time the draft has merit and deserves your acceptance. What do you think about it ? Thanks, Iulian Vamanu

Ivamanu (talk) 16:56, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ivamanu - the vast majority of the citations are by the subject himself, and therefore don't go to notability, but they do go to verifying the facts in the article. This guy is clearly notable, but the only citations which go to his notability are the last 3. The last one is a brief listing of him, so that doesn't count. The botosani citation is exactly the type of citation that you need. The jurnalul is a nice citation, but only mentions him briefly. If you can come up with two more articles like the botosani, I think you'd be good to go. Onel5969 (talk) 19:52, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:Jackie Tour (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am not actually asking for a re-review, please read. I have added several references to the bottom of the article. I am not sure where to put them inline as they basically all have the same info. I was wondering if there is a way I could invite others to help finish it?

Other than that I'm really not sure why it would have been declined. She does fit the following criteria: Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart & Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country. Her other tours are already posted on their own pages. This one was just announced 3/31/2015, so there won't be a whole lot of articles. However, I have found several. I believe Entertainment Weekly & onlyciara.com would constitute as reputable.

MoJo3161981 (talk) 19:11, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi MoJo3161981 - She fits the criteria, which is why she has an article. This tour does not. All of the announcements are promotional in nature. Take a look at the WP:NMUSIC, all the criteria to make a tour notable are after the fact (grosses, attendance, etc). There usually can't be coverage of something that hasn't happened yet. Promotional material cannot be used to show notability. Sorry, but keep the article until the tour happens, and then fill in with some media coverage. Onel5969 (talk) 16:54, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Areed06 - While a fascinating incident, you'd have to provide many more national citations showing that this is more than a flash-in -the-pan, trivial incident.

Don Doe

Hey there. Sorry for the late response, I have been very busy and it easy for me to lose track of things. I greatly appreciate you going through and adding places where I require citation. It was very helpful.

I do have a question though. While I can see some places where the citations need to be found, there are many points you labeled where all I have done is paraphrased the article which is linked within that paragraph, or is linked in a previous/later citation, but not within that exact paragraph. Should I link everything even if it is to the same source? How do I go about doing that without cluttering up my sources?

I know some cases this isn't the issue and I need to go back through my personal list of sites and whatnot, but in other cases it is listed explicitly in one of the two books I am citing, both published by universities, so cited it within the paragraph, not each individual thought that way I would avoid quoting too much.

Thank you again for the time and effort you have put into this. -Sage

Hi SageheartBK - I went in and gave you an example of how to use the same citation more than once. And a citation is only needed for the information which proceeds it, so if the same citation can be used in two or three consecutive places, simply put it where the third citation needed is, and remove all 3 citations.

Also, WP:CIT gives some nice templates to use for citations, depending on the type of citations you are using. I corrected the first reference, to give you an example. Right now, your article needs reliable independent sources which go in-depth about your subject. Hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 13:48, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sean M Jones - Getting there. I added some tags where you'll need citations. Remember, this is a blp, so if you say something about the person, it really should be cited. You also need to remove the raw links (I removed one as an example of what I mean by a raw link), they are a definite no-no. Keep on working it! Onel5969 (talk) 13:53, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

I contancted the person for more details of his early and personal life as you said it was needed and he sent me more info which I included but some of these details are minor and dating from the 1960s or earlier, and therefore they are not independently verifiable with external citations. Nevertheless, since they fit with the rest of the picture I have included them in good faith without attaching any independent citations, adding phrases like "he recounts", "he recalls" and "he remembers". So how to deal with that? The High School has no archives about the tennis team or the philosophy club from the 2000s never mind the 1960s. Should I delete it all again? Thanks for your help with this, I did spend a lot of time looking for citations which don't exist but you said we need details of his early life. Sean M Jones (talk) 14:04, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Dmanis2kool- a general rule of thumb is that if something doesn't have it's own Wikipedia article, it's not notable. This is because to have your own article, you go through a notability vetting. If you feel this strongly about the magazine, might I suggest you create an article for it? You can use the Articles for Creation process. Take care. Onel5969 (talk) 13:58, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Ray Brown Entry

I had an online chat with the help desk. We discussed the validity of the citations for the entry. I was told they were just lists. They are indeed "lists" of the times, places and events participated in by a notable track athlete. The entry is a factual narrative of the information. These sources are the same sources an author of a NYTimes article on the subject would use to verify one's accomplishments. These are the most credible sources to confirm a track athlete's success. All other information comes from information not on the web which the web help person said was fine to use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trb127 (talk • contribs) 23:08, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

User: Ramanhome Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Thiru_Narayana_Iyengar

Hi Onel5969

Thanks a lot for your detailed help and guidance. Based on your suggestions, i have changed all the things that you had requested in your previous post as below. Please check the draft and let me know if i can resubmit.

Thanks Raman Ramanhome (talk)Ramanhome

First, even though the underlying links might be in Tamil, the reference notes themselves need to be in English.

Reply>>> He is Tamil scholar in the pre-internet times. One of the references is in English, rest are in Tamil because articles about him were written in the Tamil vernacular since he is a Tamil scholar.

You misunderstand, Ramanhome, I'm speaking about the citation footnote in the article, not the underlying citation. The underlying citation may be in Tamil, but when you create the footnote, that needs to be in English. To me, it looks like only 3 or 4 sources are referenced.

Reply>>> How many references do you need to accept the article? This cannot be a reason to reject the article.

You need at least 3 solid references to show notability. Then, since this is a biography, you need a fair amount of references to validate the underlying assertions in the article. Most of the Tamil language in the article also needs to go away.

Reply>>> yes i have removed most of the tamil language in the article. Pls check and let me know.

Much better. I think the quotes in the original are okay, but you could (if you wanted to), simply leave the English translations. All the raw links in the article have to go away.

Reply>>> what do you mean by the raw links? pls give an example of a raw link.

A raw link is simply inserting a link to an external source by using a weblink. An example would be in the Literary Work section, Madurai Tamil Sangam is a raw link. Simply put the name of the item, since the link does not have anything to do with the subject of the article, you shouldn't even use it as a reference. If the link showed the subject's relationship to the item, than you should use it as a reference. Your first two references are also raw links. You can find out how to format citations at WP:CIT. And finally, the article has an WP:NPOV issue

Reply>>>Please be specific in places where you do not find no neutrality. Identify those places in the article.

Avoid using peacock or overly positive terms. "detailed work" should simply be work. "well discussed" should simply be discussed. "fully dedicated" should simply be dedicated. Get rid of words like that (other examples: "elaborate", "novel" (as in novel way), "important". Ramanhome (talk)Ramanhome

Hope all this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 00:19, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ramanhome - You still have to remove the raw links. I removed one to give you an example. Also, that paragraph should have a citation which verifies the facts it includes.

The citations themselves are still in Tamil, not English. Again, I'm not talking about the underlying articles, but the footnotes in this article have to be in English.

The Literary work section needs a lot more citations (same reason I just cited above).

But on the whole, MUCH better! Nice job so far. Let me know when you've made the above changes and I'll take another look. Onel5969 (talk) 14:12, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

A Saucerful of Secrets (song): Difference between revisions From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Revision as of 10:42, 4 April 2015 (edit) 87.7.43.20 (talk) ← Previous edit

Latest revision as of 13:55, 4 April 2015 (edit) (undo) Onel5969 (talk | contribs) (Reverted 1 good faith edit by 87.7.43.20 using STiki)

Probably good faith is yours, have you ever listened to ASOS?

In the studio version the low rumbling sound is made by vari speeded timpanies, playing A♯ and C♯, the infamous cymbals* are in the high spectrum they are sounding like pieces of glass§.

"We did the first part starting from the high pitches of the cymbals. We placed a mike right next to the cymbals and we hit them very lightly with wooden hammers. Actually, this creates a sound that is very different from that of the cymbals§." (D. Gilmour talking with D. Frikte in Musician, n. 50, Dec. 1982)

In the live version the bass is playing A♯ and C♯, so is the bass instead of the timpanies. :-)

Hope it could help, take care! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rabarbarum3000 (talk • contribs) 20:18, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Rabarbarum3000 - It was that the edit made the language seem too technical for an average reader. I think if you simply said, "The timpani sound..." that would read better. Onel5969 (talk) 22:10, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Having re-read it, the existing version makes more sense, showing the that the original sound was symbols, replaced by the lower sound. Now, whether or not the lower sound is by a bass or a timpani, I'm not sure. Since the section is uncited, I can't check. If you believe it's the latter, by all means change bass to timpani.

I won't dispute your judgment there, but perhaps you could have saved both of us a little time by using a more descriptive editsum than "rev incorrect edit". I think that much was self-evident; it was obviously a revert, and reverts are generally used to remove "incorrect edits" of one kind or another. Cheers,―Mandruss ☎ 00:44, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Mandruss - You're absolutely right. When I reverted the change, I was writing the edit summary, and hit the enter key, rather than the spacebar, so the truncated summary was all you saw. I meant to say, rev incorrect edit and NPOV addition. I didn't want to simply say either, since either by itself did not adequately describe why I was reverting. Sorry.

"copyvio" reversion of Paradise Valley additions

Hello Onel5969: Puzzled about your reversion of my addition to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradise_Valley,_Arizona> earlier today -- not clear how this was a copyright violation since I rephrased the source in my own words. ?? How can I add this historical information without being reverted again? thanks for any help... wcwkS15 — Preceding unsigned comment added by WcwkS15 (talk • contribs) 02:15, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi WcwkS15 - I probably should have used the term "close paraphrasing" rather than "copyvio", and provided the link, which I will here: WP:PARAPHRASING. I used the same term as the first time I had reverted it, simply as a matter of expedience. My apologies for that. Hopefully, you'll understand that you need to completely re-write information, not simply change a word or two, or slightly rearrange the order. Onel5969 (talk) 20:27, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! -- WcwkS15 (talk) 17:26, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Is it appropriate to ask you to review a revision for this addition? If so, how's this? (I didn't format the refs yet because I don't know how these would go up on your Talk page). Thanks! WcwkS15 (talk) 20:36, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

The land that became Paradise Valley was first used by European settlers as a grazing ground for cattle. The name was given in the 1880s by Frank Conkey, Manager of the Rio Verde Canal Company, which surveyed the land to develop it for agricultural purposes.[Will Barnes, Arizona Place Names (University of Arizona Press, 1997), p. 318] Legend has it that he named the area "Paradise Valley" because of the abundance of spring wildflowers and Palo Verde trees.[“About Paradise Valley”, http://www.paradisevalleyliving.com/about/, accessed 4/7/15] Modest homes and small resorts began to be built in the area, which was notable for large lot sizes (1-5 acres).[”Town of Paradise Valley History”, http://www.ci.paradise-valley.az.us/DocumentCenter/Home/View/223, accessed 4/7/15] As development accelerated after World War II, residents began to fear annexation by nearby and expanding Phoenix and Scottsdale, threatening the low density, non-commercial character of the area. To prevent this, a “Citizens Committee for the Incorporation of The Town of Paradise Valley, Arizona” was formed and gathered enough signatures to present a petition for incorporation to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. On May 24, 1961, the Board incorporated the Town of Paradise Valley.[”Town of Paradise Valley History”, http://www.ci.paradise-valley.az.us/DocumentCenter/Home/View/223, accessed 4/7/15]

WcwkS15 - Take a look at how I've written it:

After European settlement, Paradise Valley was mainly used for cattle grazing. In the 1880s, when the land was being surveyed so it could be developed into agricultural lots, the name "Paradise Valley" first came into use, being given by Frank Conkey, Manager of the Rio Verde Canal Company. According to the official town website, this name may have been chosen due to the abundance of spring wildflowers and Palo Verde trees. Mainly an agricultural area, during the 1800s and the first half of the 1900s, after World War II the area began to be settled, on large one to five acre lots, for which the area became known. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the town developed slowly with homes on large one to five acre lots, for which the town became known.

As the neighboring settlements of Phoenix and Scottsdale began to grow and annex adjoining areas, the residents of what would become Paradise Valley were concerned that the qualities they most valued would be lost if they were consumed by their larger neighbors. These residents formed "Citizens Committee for the Incorporation of The Town of Paradise Valley, Arizona", which collected enough signatures to take to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. The petition was granted by the Supervisors, allowing the town of Paradise Valley to be incorporated on May 24, 1961.

Insert the references in the appropriate places. The references don't seem to mention Frank Conkey, so you will either need another reference, or delete that. Hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 16:42, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I will go ahead and post this. Frank Conkey is specifically cited in the reference given (I have updated it to the newer expanded edition). WcwkS15 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 17:40, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Robert Honablue

Am very confused as to what Wikipedia wants as proof that Robert Honablue was employed as a recording engineer for CBS Records (NYC) -as well as what proof Wikipedia needs to show that he engineered albums for them -especially in light of the fact that Wikipedia has these albums posted elsewhere that cleary states him as the Recording Engineer, Mastering Engineer, or both. Robert was employed by CBS Records, Motown Studios, and did in fact run a recording studio with George Benson in the 70's. Tape-Op did a featured story on Robert which ran last year -and is still running. Getting on Wikipedia is really a very, very hard thing for credited people to get on because of the red tape that makes no sense. Please check out your listing of Edgar Winter's White Trash LP and Laura Nyro's Christmas and the Beads of Sweat -and explain to me how Robert is noted on them -yet can't be recognized for such on his own page. And likewise, on his previous school's site (www.THIaudio.org) he has endorsements from the late Dave Brubeck, Dave's oldest son, Darius, and the legendary George Benson. Yet that seems to have no merit with Wikipedia. Just trying to help a retired person who has been in the industry for 48 years to get his props. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Recording1948 (talk • contribs) 15:24, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

I am really having a difficult time with getting Robert Honablue on your pages. I have researched a lot of your pages of recording artists that are on Wikipedia and found Robert Honablue's name attached to several of their recordings -which is indicated on the pages of Wikipedia. Is this an error by Wikipedia??? And did CBS Records err by noting Robert Honablue on many of their released albums that cite Robert Honablue's name??? Can someone talk to me man-on-man about submissions that are accepted on other Wikipedia pages -but not good enough for Robert to have his own page about such??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Recording1948 (talk • contribs) 16:04, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Recording1948 - Just because someone has done work on some albums does not make them notable. Please take a look at Wikipedia's general notability guidelines and the guidelines specifically tailored for music associated articles. You need in-depth references from independent, reliable sources to show the subject's notability. LinkedIn, Tapedop, Yelp, YouTube, WordPress are all non-reliable sources. Allmusic is a good source, but for verifying facts, not for notability. Perhaps in this instance, it is simply a function of Honablue's job function. Engineer's don't get a lot of ink, and therefore, many of them are not notable by wiki criteria. Onel5969 (talk) 20:46, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Of interest

Because you've been reverted, this SPI might interest you. Thanks, Poeticbent talk 14:54, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Please explain

You said that there "is a definite argument to be made that the sources (at least some of them which were affected by the content removal) are not unreliable". Can you please elaborate on which sources you are referring to, and why you say they are reliable - be it here or at the article talk page? If that's the case, I clearly have been operating at a standard which is too high, and there are plenty of articles which will warrant changes to include the lower standard sourcing. Ncmvocalist (talk) 17:17, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ncmvocalist - For instance, The Hindu, Asian Tribune, International Business Times. And it's not a lower standard. It's the standard, as per WP:RS. Take care. Onel5969 (talk) 22:33, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

In the main competition article, I cited the IBT source (on the same day the IBT article was published) and the Hindu articles shortly after they were too. That is, I first introduced those sources to Wikipedia, and I don't believe I've ever considered those sources to be unreliable (with the possible exception of Asian Tribune for the reason already outlined at the AfD). It might be that your comment read as if the content removed was merely due to the sourcing alone when that wasn't the case though, so I'll leave it down to that. All water under the bridge now anyway. Ncmvocalist (talk) 17:03, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

I am unsure as to why the V-Dem Institute is not worthy of a wikipedia article. I have included references and attached a link to the webpage.

ValeriyaMechkova (talk) 13:10, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi ValeriyaMechkova - Right now the sources for your article do not show the notability. 2 of the citations are from the organizations own website, a third is from a blog. None of those are valid references for notability purposes. The fourth citation, is merely a listing at a university website. The three general references appear to be more about the concept of data variables, rather than about the organization itself. The article has very few inline citations, so that makes it difficult to ascertain the veracity of the underlying sources. Onel5969 (talk) 16:19, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

New Submission

Hello. I am a total newbie to writing WP articles, though of course I have used the service countless times. Thank you for reviewing my recent submission Charles Ernst Scharlau. When I submitted it, just yesterday, I was under the impression that I would have days, even weeks, before it was reviewed. So unwisely I planned to research how to make certain improvements to it in the interim, rather than waiting to submit. One planned improvement was to change the name of the article from "Charles Ernst Scharlau" to "Charles E. Scharlau". Although the individual's German middle name was indeed Ernst, the anglicised name he actually used is obscure, and all references to him that I've discovered indicate he went by "Charles E. Scharlau". This name change will also fix at least one "red link" on another page without having to edit the other topic.

Can the name of the article still be changed without too much effort? If so, can you point me in the right direction for accomplishing the change?

Again, thank you for your help.

KE5JK (talk) 13:45, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

First of all KE5JK, congrats on your first published article. It does still need work, but I felt it could be published in its current condition and worked on. Was impressed with your first effort. You can change the title of the article by clicking on the "more" tab at the top of the page. The drop down menu will have a "move" selection, click on that and it will take you to the "move" screen. On that screen, simply delete the current "Charles Ernst Scharlau", and type "Charles Scharlau". You can type the E. if you want, but either is fine. If you have trouble, just let me know.

Greetings! I am new to submitting to WikiPedia, and have been trying to get a living person bio published for a man named Jayme Illien, who is the founder of the International Day of Happiness. I am not sure if I have taken the right approach in my previous submissions. For instance, it may be more appropriate as a 'stub' rather than an 'article.' I'm really not sure what method to take in submitting this bio and would really appreciate some help!

As a reference, please visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Williamson. This is about the length (perhaps even shorter) of the article I would like to submit. It does not have any references at all, only one external link (which appears to be broken). If I wanted to publish something like this, simply to give credit where it is due in acknowledging Mr. Illien as the UN adviser who conceived of the IDoH, how should I go about that? Again, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Juniperusco (talk) 23:30, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Juniperusco - Wikipedia is monitored by volunteers, so it's not unusual for an inappropriate article to slip through the cracks. That example you gave was created 5 or more years ago, when standards for inclusion were different. In fact, based on research, I've nominated it for deletion. Take a look at the links for the golden rule and general notability requirements. To show notability, you'll usually have to provide 2-3 good in-depth articles about the subject of the article, which are from independent, reliable sources.

Hi Ilovetomatoes321 - You know what the article needs? Even though it is very well referenced, those are the types of references needed for verifiability. You need 2-3 in-depth articles from independent, reliable sources, showing the notability of Harding. Can you find some of those? Onel5969 (talk) 16:52, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Onel5969, I will have a look, integrate these into the article, and then let you know! May I just check, does 'independent, reliable sources' refer to things like national newspapers? Would published academic books suffice? Many thanks, again, for the advice! Ilovetomatoes

Ilovetomatoes321 (talk) 08:48, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Ilovetomatoes321 - national and major newspapers and magazines are the best way to prove notability. Academic books are tricky, since there are so many of them which have a very limited reading circulation. Especially since this subject is not an academic herself.

  • Draft:Khalisanni Khalid (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am requesting a re-review by the esteem reviewer(s) because the articles had been improvised based on the reviewers' comments hence it is cited accordingly. Moreover, the nominee had achieve many recognition(citation listed), award(citation listed), publication(references listed), experience in diverse discipline of research(citation listed) and had many pages cited his name in Google search (kindly search "khalisanni") regardless to his young ages. Thus, I would like to thanks the reviewer for his suggestion and hopefully, the article can be accepted as a part of Wikipedia sources. I believe it would helps the users to retrieve the nominee concise information (early life, achievements, etc) with references through esteem Wikipedia page without Googling many website. Thank you Khalisanni khalid (talk) 15:57, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Khalisanni khalid - you've definitely done some work on the article. However, it still has a way to go before resubmission. First, the sources still do not show the subject's notability. They have to be from independent, reliable sources (usually major newspapers or magazines). The sources you have are fine to verify the facts of the article (which is important), but not for notability. Second, the article actually suffers from WP:OVERCITE. Rarely use more than 1 citation, 2 sometimes if the citations aren't clear. Also, you've now created an WP:OVERLINK issue. Don't wikilink to common words primary school, etc. Wikilinking to people, places and organizations which have their own wikipages is okay. Hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 16:04, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

On Gheorghe Morosanu' page

Thanks for your kind assistance.

Some time ago I uploaded Morosanu's picture from his personal webpage http://mathematics.ceu.edu/people/gheorghe-morosanu and put it in the right place. Unfortunately, it was removed after a while for copyright reasons.

The picture is available to the public without any restriction. His institution wanted to have a picture there. There is no copyright issue !!!

Could you please upload it from http://mathematics.ceu.edu/people/gheorghe-morosanu and insert it into his wiki page ?

Thank you, ivamanu — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivamanu (talk • contribs) 17:04, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ivamanu - Unfortunately that site clearly has a copyright statement at the bottom of the page. It can't be uploaded from there. You can contact the website and get them to load it onto Wikipedia, giving up their copyright, but that would be the only way. Onel5969 (talk) 16:08, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

changing the title of R. T. Wallen

Hi Who would have thought that one space could cause such problems? People are having trouble find the page because it is R. T. instead of R.T. Also most people know him as Skip. So I want to change the title to the following: R.T. "Skip" Wallen

I have never changed the title of an existing article so hopefully you can help me with this. cheers, from Down Undah, Reefswaggie (talk) 01:11, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Reefswaggie - it's really bad form to have "nicknames" in the title of an article. You can include them in the lead, but shouldn't be in the title, except in very rare circumstances. I've created a redirect to the page if folks don't put the space in, so hopefully that will help. Onel5969 (talk) 16:13, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

ok no worries, thanks for that. Reefswaggie (talk) 23:22, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Onel5969 - I sent you the following message on March 16. I see that you have replied to messages before and after my message, but you have not replied to my message. I have copied it below and would greatly appreciate a response since I think that we have established the required notability to publish the article for the reasons explained below. Thank you !

16:53:03, 16 March 2015 review of submission by 24.13.237.93[edit] 24.13.237.93 (talk · contribs) Draft:Kol Hadash Humanistic Congregation (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I don't understand why the submission for Kol Hadash Humanistic Congregation was declined. The congregation is "notable" both as the "oldest and largest Humanistic Jewish congregation in Illinois" and for its rabbi emeritus being "the first Humanistic rabbi in Illinois." There are citations to articles ABOUT the congregation (not just a passing reference) in two different editions of the Chicago Tribune (Jan 13, 2008 and Sept 15, 2014), the Daily Herald (Dec 23, 2009), and WBEZ radio (July 16 2014).

Wikipedia has published articles about other Jewish congregations that have almost no citations or special distinction. See the links below:

1. Congregation Solel in Highland Park, Illinois - This article has almost no references, and none of the three references cited are independent, third-party references like a newspaper. The article was printed asking for additional submissions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congregation_Solel

2. North Shore Congregation Israel in Glencoe, Illinois – This article has only two references, one of which is just a “dictionary and sourcebook,” and the other is a reference to the synagogue’s building. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Shore_Congregation_Israel

3. Temple Beth El in Madison, Wisconsin – This article has NO citations at all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Beth_El_(Madison,_Wisconsin)

4. Temple Beth El in San Antonio, Texas – This article has only one citation, and not for anything that makes them “notable” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Beth-El_(San_Antonio)

5. Temple Beth El in Great Neck, New York – No citation for anything other than its location. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Beth-El_(Great_Neck,_New_York)

6. Beth Shalom in Frederick, Maryland – Nothing notable about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beth_Sholom_Congregation_(Frederick,_Maryland)

I would appreciate any explanation or specific instruction that would enable me to edit the article and have it approved for publication.

Thank you!

24.13.237.93 (talk) 14:38, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi - Sorry about that, I thought I had responded. Wikipedia is monitored by volunteers, so it's not unusual for an inappropriate article to slip through the cracks. Most of those examples you gave were created 5 or more years ago, when standards for inclusion may have been different. However, even with that, when pressed, all of them could come up with references which showed the notability of those subjects. You need 2-3 references which show the notability of the congregation.

Mitchel Kriegman update

I appreciate you taking the time to go over the proposed changes to the Mitchell Kriegman. In my draft article, you should know that all of the references are in the References section (Reflist|ref=), I use shortcuts in the body of the article to reduce the clutter and it helps me avoid duplicate references. Kriegman is a nice guy and he has refrained from editing his article for many years, now as a novelist, he'd like to have his film career documented and have an article without banners in the header. Thanks Again! 009o9 (talk) 20:44, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Brooks Benedict Biography Page

Dear Editor Onel5969, I appreciate your time and effort in review and acceptance of “Brooks Benedict” biography page as an addition to Wikipedia. Similarly, I am grateful for your kind note, in reference to which, I thought that I had directly submitted the page. Also, I am not very familiar with the rating system. However the page that I submitted contains historical references important to him and the topic. They are not found in any other collective. Please note that all that was known about him as reported in public databases did not surpass 3-4 sentences. Thereby his page at Wikipedia is the most comprehensive, and importantly underlines his education, military service, and challenges in an acting career spanning silent movies to television. In this respect, I would be grateful if you could advise me as to how further improve this page so that it reaches a level higher stub. I understand that stub articles can be deleted. Also, I am curious to see if I am credited with the creation of the page. Respectfully, M. Neshat, Ph.D. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mneshat (talk • contribs) 23:11, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Mneshat - if you take a look at my userpage, you'll see I've created probably over 100 articles about film people from the 1920s-50s, so I hear you on the slim pickings available to write about (many of the articles I could not get above stub class). The "class" of the article is not an indication of the quality, but of the depth. This article bordered on the stub/start class only due to its depth. You could get it into the start class by adding a complete filmography list (AFI database is an excellent source). I would expand the brief paragraph of his more notable films, giving more details about them (directors or other stars). Another excellent resource to research these older film people is the Media History Project. It's laborious, but fascinating. Once you get the filmography in, you can upgrade it to start. Then simply take a look at the grading system to see how to improve it. Hope this helps, and good luck with the article. Onel5969 (talk) 13:51, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Hilary - to show a subject's notability, there should be 2-3 in-depth articles from independent, reliable sources (usually newspapers or magazines). The Bloomberg cite merely shows who he is, not that he's notable. The Newfield sources are not independent, (it's also a bit of a coincidence, since I've done some work with Newfield).

Alok Nanda

Thank you for taking the time to review my page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Alok_Nanda_%26_Company_Communications_Pvt._Ltd.)

I was hoping you could shed some light on your feedback.

'refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources': My sources include CNBC, Forbes India and Economic Times. Since the subject is an Indian advertising firm, I've also included sources like CampaignIndia and Afaqs, that are known and respected by the Indian advertising community. Could you specify why these sources are unacceptable so that I may improve my article?

'This submission appears to read more like an advertisement...articles need to be written from a neutral point of view': I have avoided what might be considered as 'peacock terms'; there are, however a few instances where I've used words taken directly from sources. For instance: 'India is the fastest-growing luxury market' from CNBC.com. Do you object to words/phrases like these or is there something else you'd like me to change?

I'd appreciate your help. Thothbubble (talk) 07:06, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Thothbubble - the article appears to sell the subject, not simply tell us about it. When you say things like "ANC was created as a multidisciplinary agency to tap into this premium segment..." that's a promotional statement. The Awards section is promotional, but that's the nature of the beast, nothing you can do about that. But your client and affiliated sections are chock full of promotionalism. Don't tell us about "features" and "aims". Onel5969 (talk) 17:56, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Von Lombard

Good Morning:

Your long list of Wikipedia articles is most impressive. And although I am from the deep South, I do like New York. Having been there several times, I enjoyed each visit. Hanging on my wall is a chalk drawing of my daughter and me from a sidewalk artist in Manhattan.

Now, for my article on Von Lombard. My last two rejections were over notability. I truly respect Wikipedia's standing in this regard, yet it does seem there is a great deal of latitude on what an editor determines to be notable.

Please consider:

Von Lombard has written four books. VL has baptized over 1000 people in water. Only one percent of pastors in America have baptized that many people. VL has been published in one magazine and one journal. VL has been on Fox News and had his own TV and radio programs.

There are about a dozen third party references in the article at Von Lombard.

Can you plz reconsider your decision on notability? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Von_Lombard&redirect=no

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crimsontidealabama (talk • contribs) 10:49, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:SIMUS MODEL FOR DECISION MAKING (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

212.90.148.96 (talk) 12:38, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

First of all I expected a communication about the reject, but I learnt about it by chance when I entered in Internet. I am requesting review because I agree with the reviewer when stating that my article must be written in an encyclopedia format. I have written a new one in what I believe follows that format. However, I disagree with the reviewer what he/she says that this looks as an 'essay', since it is a tool duly developed and being used in many place and also the model I proposed was approved as a Ph.D. thesis. Anyway I am sending now information demonstrating that it is a mature technology and bases on secondary and primary sources.

For whom it may concern

The following paragraphs - not a part of the proposed article about the SIMUS model for decision-making - try to clarify its properties only for Wikipedia reviewer and in accordance with Wikipedia requirements

Notability The proposed article refers to a new mathematic method for decision-making, based on a much known discipline. The author holds a Ph.D. degree in engineering and he is an academic that has written 25 books on engineering and more that 50 papers many of them published in peer-reviewed journals. Springer (Germany), the second academic publisher in the world, published some of these books, while others by university presses in Mexico, Spain and Canada. His books are in the libraries of at least 550 universities in 75 countries (Information obtained through Internet), and in some of them as textbooks. He is also an international lecturer in different universities around the world. His CV can be found in Internet as well as references about his books and papers that are cited in some extent.

Not original research The following list is an incomplete report of authors that refer to the Simus method, the intended purpose of the proposed article, and aiming to demonstrate that is not some sort of essay, or an original research. It refers to a mature mathematical model tested since 2003 by many different scholars, published in books, and incorporated in the undergraduate and masters programs in several universities and even used in Ph.D. thesis. A work to alleviate poverty in urban settlements using Simus, was nominated by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in 2012 for the Equator Initiative Knowledge Base Prize.

Verifiability The proposed method is based on a discipline which creator got the Nobel Prize in 1956. The method by itself was approved by university professors (tutors), was defended in a tribunal assessing the Ph.D. and approved ’Summa cum Laude’. All of this can be verifiable by Wikipedia with documentation under request. The following illustrates the opinion from an international reviewer on SIMUS Nevertheless, SIMUS does a good job of providing different perspectives on the available alternatives—not limiting itself to one correct solution. Enis E. Ocal FedEx Services, Memphis, Tennessee 38125,Egemen ScienceCBusiness Media

Neutral point of view The article refers when necessary to existing information related directly or indirectly with the subject, for instance, it refers by name and author to other methods that have been developed and used for similar purposes. The article does not contain any comparison or criticism, even if it can be mathematically proved.

Secondary and Primary sources They are detailed below in two separate listings.

Present day use of the SIMUS model at university level The SIMUS model is currently taught in several universities in schools of Economics and Engineering in undergraduate and master courses

Present day use of the SIMUS model at enterprise, industry, soil and environment levels The Simus model has been used at least in 44 project studies (2011) around the world in a large variety of fields. See Meta Analysis in Munier’s Ph.D. Thesis pags. 86-98.

SIMUS stands for ‘Sequential Interactive Model for Urban Systems’. It is a structured Multi Criteria/Objective Decision-Making method, based on Linear Programming a mathematical technique for which its creator, Leonid Kantorovich (1939) , was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics.

Linear Programming is a very well known and effective procedure that has been used in many different fields by thousands of companies and by the military since its conception in mid XX Century. George Dantzig (1948) made possible its practical application by developing the efficient ‘Simplex’ algorithm, one of the top ten algorithms of the 20th century, which in turn is worked out by ‘Solver’ software developed by ‘Frontline Systems’ a pioneer company in this field. Since 1990, Microsoft introduced this powerful software as an Excel add-in.

SIMUS was developed by Nolberto Munier (2011a) , takes advantage of Linear Programming capabilities, and introduces two important aspects. The ability to deal with any number of objectives, and the possibility to accept any number of qualitative and quantitative criteria in any mix, both conditions alien to Linear Programming which only works with one objective - although some developments such as GOAL PROGRAMMING (Charnes et al, 1955), allows for more than one objective, and by accepting only quantitative criteria.

The method has been applied to many different areas such as:

 Agriculture  Airports  Business  Civil and mechanical construction  Construction and manufacturing:  Economic development  Education  Energy  Environment  Health  Housing development  Human resources  Infrastructure  Investment and risk  Legal  Location analysis:  Manufacturing  Society  Society: Strategic management  Sustainability  Telecommunications  Transportation

 Water distribution systems

 Urban planning

A characteristic of the model is that it produces for each problem or scenario, two solutions, derived from the same initial data. These two solutions in turn deliver two rankings of alternatives or projects and they must be coincident. In this way, one solution checks the other. Since the same ranking is obtained for a problem using two different procedures, this fact offers a measure of reliability. When they do not coincide, it normally means that something is probably amiss and the decision-maker has to find what it is reviewing the data.

Example A simple example illustrates the method, in this case applied to renewable sources for electricity generation. See also Nigim et al (2004) .

Assume that a company has a 40 hectares plot in sunny country and decides to use the existing strong sun radiation to generate electricity. The company considers two different methods:

a) Solar thermal (ST) They consist in installing rotating parabolic solar dishes to capture sunlight. Photovoltaic (PV) Photovoltaic panels that directly convert sun energy into electricity.

The multicriteria, restrictions or conditions are:

Minimize unit cost Maximize efficiency index Minimize financial index Maximize land use index Minimize generation index

Then, it is possible to build the model as shown in Table 1.

                                                              Table 1                     Initial data

LHS data Alternatives Solar thermal (ST) Photovoltaic (PV) Action Operator RHS Values (from user) Targets Cardinal values Unit cost 0.72 0.68 MIN ≥ Efficiency index 0.85 0.75 MAX ≤ 1 Financial index 0.78 0.98 MIN ≥ 0.84 Land use index 0.92 0.65 MAX ≤ 0.94 Generation index 0.99 0.60 MIN ≥ 0.80

Where. LHS = Left Hand Side data RHS = Right Hand Side data

First criterion – Unit cost Each cardinal value for the first criterion or target establishes the construction cost for kW installed; naturally, the DM wants it minimized. He uses the ‘≥’ operator meaning that the model must consider a RHS value equal or higher than the lowest (0.68).

Second criterion - Efficiency index It relates with efficiency and the company naturally wants it maximized. Cardinal values indicate the thermal efficiency of each system and the DM places ‘1’ in the RHS because this is the limiting value for efficiency, as it cannot be technically exceeded. It can be seen that ST system has a thermal efficiency (0.85) higher than the thermal efficiency for PV (0.68). Thus, the combined efficiency, whatever the system or mix of system selected, must be less than ‘1’, which is indicated by the ‘(‘≤’ ) operator.

Third criterion – Financial index The financial department computed the expected IRR (Internal Rate of Return), by examining bank loan conditions, loan repayment period, debt coverage, equipment amortization and depreciation, risk, etc., and obtains a financial index. It is assessed as 0.84, placed in the RHS cell, and the ‘≥’ operator used because that is the minimum value the company is willing to accept and thus the result must show a financial index at least equal to this value.

Fourth criterion – Land use index The engineering department computes the required land use index as 0.94 considering that the land has several uses, which are competing for the available investment capital; the goal is to use the land at its maximum potential from the available acreage point of view.

Fifth criterion – Generation index Generation index is related with reliability of equipment, radiation hours (as said, ST has a much higher limit because trapped solar heat can be stored and used after sunset, which is not possible with PV), amongst other technical considerations. The DM considers an index of 0.80 and then places this value in the RHS column. The ‘≥’ operator is used to indicate that the result of computation for the generation index must have a value equal or higher than 0.80.

The next step consists in loading this mathematical arrangement into SIMUS software. It can be loaded by hand or just importing the matrix from Excel where it is customarily created - recommended practice - since it is easier to make corrections, additions or deletions of data when the model is on a spreadsheet that when it is loaded into the software.

At the end of the process, SIMUS displays in a single screen the complete information for this exercise from the initial data to final results. The model shows two results, obtained using different mathematical operations and starting from the same ERM formed by optimal results. Experience from hundreds of projects, reveals that most of the times, close 100 %, both results coincide, which indicates a reliable ranking of alternatives. Since one result checks the other, there is no doubt that this solution is consistent, even that it could not be the best - assuming that it exists -, which is something impossible to know.

The final result is shown in Figure 1, which is the computer screen capture for this problem. The blue ERM matrix appears first and its results displayed in a solid blue box, while the brown PDM matrix shows below and its result displayed in a solid brown box.

In this example ST alternative has a greater value (1.54) than the PV alternative (1.46), however, they are close, which makes difficult to affirm that ST is better than PV. Observe now the values in the PDM matrix; here it can be appreciated that indeed there is a large difference between both alternatives, and definitively shows that ST is better than PV. Therefore, the two solutions agree about the best choice.

Hi reinumrub - Please do not clutter my talk page with vast amounts of argument (not a negative term, just simply meaning that you presented data to back up your side). Your article is an essay. Plain and simple. It is full of what appears to be original research, where you make uncited assertions, and draw conclusions. Onel5969 (talk) 13:51, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Re: Ilan Rechtman article

Hello,

re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ilan_Rechtman

Thank you for your review of the article, I was google-ing information on artists who had played with Brazilian orchestras and decided to make this article. I used the article on Sonia Rubinsky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonia_Rubinsky) as a basis for comparison. I have added citations to Mr. Rechtman's recorded work and to the recent broadcast of his music on the US TV Show Dancing with the Stars.

Thank you,

user: AKonanur

Hi AKonanur - Just because an article exists on Wikipedia does not mean it is necessarily a good model to base a new article on. Wikipedia is monitored by volunteers, so it's not unusual for an inappropriate article to slip through the cracks. That example you gave was created almost 5 years ago, when standards for inclusion may have been different. I've tagged it, since it definitely needs references. Now about your article. I'll let another reviewer take a stab at it. To me, it does not appear to meet any of the criteria under WP:NMUSIC. Onel5969 (talk) 13:32, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

06:18:17, 11 April 2015 review of submission by Teriw

• Teriw (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Jo Loves (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi, thank you so much for reviewing the Jo Loves draft page. Please could you clarify where you identify peacock terms, is this av example: "The reaction from the industry was instantaneous"? All other sentences are written factually without positive adjectives or superlatives. Is the use of Jo's quotes the reason for decline? Many thanks, would love to make this work.

Teriw (talk) 06:18, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Teriw - for peacock terms, take a look at the Fragrance table, just as an example. But that's a small part of the issue with this article. It reads like a promotional brochure, I had to tag it either for NPOV or for Advertising, either would have been correct. But it went beyond mere advertising, and is written in an informal style, as well as being highly promotional. Don't use the subject's first name, after the initial mention, only use the last name. Most of the "Jo says" comments are self-promotional. It's one thing to quote the subject about their motivations, it's another to quote the subject talking about how great they are. Onel5969 (talk) 13:37, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Onel5969 - thank you for your reply and reviewer comments. The page has been edited to have an encyclopaedic tone; descriptions have been removed from the fragrances table and 'Jo' replaced with her surname only as per your recommendation. Quotes have been reduced to neutral outtakes only and certain word choices have been made more neutral throughout the article. Looking forward to your thoughts. Many thanks! Teriw (talk) 17:05, 15 April 2015 (BST)

Hi. The article needs to be about the company. I edited it to get rid of all the fluff. Promotional stuff like the creator telling you how great her stuff is was deleted. Her explaining why some of the fragrances is okay, but the rest of the fluff about her didn't belong. Onel5969 (talk) 14:16, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Article for TV show

Hello, I want to ask for your advise on article about TV show. I initially write this info to be put on their filmography. However other editors said that we can't put long details about a show on filmography article. There are 2 main reality show and I actually think it will be better if we can combined it in one page instead of two separate articles but I'm not too sure if we can do that here. Here is the draft. Kindly need your advise. Thank you so much :) Sonflower0210 (talk) 07:00, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sonflower0210 - The editors who told you about not putting too much info on a filmography were correct. You are also correct in assuming that you shouldn't put two shows in one article. One thing which will be necessary is that although the underlying links to the citations may be in Korean, the actual footnotes should be translated into English, and then (in Korean) should be added. This will let folks know what the title of the article is, and then that the article is in a foreign language. I don't think the APink News will pass the notability test. TrendE is not a notable station, and I don't think the citations are significant enough to show notability. The Showtime might pass muster, since it was aired on a notable station. I really don't think they've done enough to warrant a filmography. You could simply mention the 3 shows on their page. Hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 13:46, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I'm thinking maybe for "Showtime", it's better to combine all seasons under one article instead separate article because even though they choose different artist for each season but it still under one umbrella "Showtime". So far only season 1 have an article under EXO's_Showtime and the show has finished 4 seasons.For this, can we put it together under one article? Which one do you think is better?

For the filmography, I'm thinking whether videography is more appropriate than filmography since they're group of singers. The similar article you just approved also called videography instead of filmography. Here's the draft on my sandbox. I included their music videos, reality shows and commercial music video for the filmography. I'm still working on completing the ref and probably will added their most notable variety show appearance later on.Sonflower0210 (talk) 17:30, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Articles for creation

Hi! I know that you do great work in this area. Nevertheless, I'm going to stick my neck out and ask you to be a little more careful in what you accept. Lee Harris Pomeroy was created by an editor called Leeharrispomeroy; that suggests that there is a serious conflict of interest problem there at the very least. WP:COI, WP:AUTO apply; it should probably be speedy-deleted as G11, unambiguous advertising. Conflict-of-interest editors and would-be autobiographers are supposed to be strongly discouraged from editing related articles; one way of discouraging them might be to decline their drafts. Rather more worrying is PREMature (TV Series), where the copyvio blanking was removed by the article creator; just for future reference: that is never acceptable. If should ever happen to see it again, please restore the copyvio template or revert to the last version before it was removed. Many thanks for all you do, best regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:06, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Justlettersandnumbers - never hesitate to give constructive criticism. Always welcome here. AfC can be frustrating at times, since so much crap is submitted, and so many editors simply want to argue rather than learn. But I think it's so necessary that I'm willing to devote time as often as possible to try to stay ahead of the backlog. Regarding the two articles, first let's deal with Lee Harris Pomeroy. I was aware of the potential COI. You can see the conversations I had with the editor HERE and HERE. I felt that the article, with one or two minor exceptions avoided the NPOV issue, and the sources seemed to me (imho) to show the notability. My understanding, as I stated in the one comment, is that COI doesn't preclude an article from being written by that editor, just that you must be careful regarding NPOV.

Regarding PREMature (TV Series), you're right. I missed the editor reverting the copyvio tag. When I went back to it, I simply did the copyvio check myself using earwig, and saw no conflict. On other articles I have caught it, I guess I didn't go far enough back in history to find it. I'll try to be more careful. Thanks for letting me know. Onel5969 (talk) 16:33, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Article on Rinaldo Paluzzi

Onel5969

I do need your assistance. It may take some of your valuable time, but I really do need your help. You recently rejected my article on the artist Paluzzi. I have personally talked to the curator of a major museum in Los Angeles, who agreed with me that Rinaldo Paluzzi is considered to be a Notable American Abstract Expressionist artist. I do understand the need to establish the Notability of Paluzzi and include references; and I believe I have done so in my article.

But please explain something to me?

Since Paluzzi was an American Abstract Expressionist Artist, I examined the list of artists whose mature work related to the American Abstract Expressionist movement (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_expressionism) (Note: 7.2 Other artists) and may I suggest my article on Paluzzi includes more information establishing his notability and references than do the articles on the following artists listed there: William Brice , Alexander Bogen (was neither significant nor American), Charles Ragland Bunnell, Edward Corbett, Lynne Mapp Drexler, Jean Dubuffet, Sam Gilliam, Joseph Glasco, JohnD. Graham, Stephen Greene, Gino Hollander, Frances Kornbluth, André Lansky, Michael Lowe, John Levee, Herbert Matter (he was not an Abstract Expressionist, he was a photographer and graphic designer), Seong Moy, Jan Müller, Pat Passlof, Earle M. Pilgraim, Aaron Siskind (a photographer who had little to do with the Abstract Expressionist movement), Ary Stillman, and Cora Kelley Ward. PLEASE look at the WIKIPEDIA articles on each of the above and explain why they have an article and Paluzzi does not?

By the age of 32, his work was already in major collections and being shown in major exhibitions.

Also, may I suggest you look at the following:

http://www.javierbmartin.com/index.php/textos/535-obito-rinaldo-paluzzi

http://www.javierbmartin.com/index.php/pintores-javier-b-martin/222-rinaldo-paluzzi

Please go to: http://www.inwhiteriver.com/attractioncategory/public-art/ Scroll down to “Totem” and read the bio on Paluzzi. If that doesn’t establish his nobility and references more than all the artists listed in section 7.2 of the American Abstract Expressionist article, I don’t understand what will?

After taking the time to do what I have requested, please let me know exactly what needs to be added to my article for it to be included in WIKIPEDIA.

I am age 90.85 and may not live long enough to see my article in WIKIPEDIA.

deletions

I remind you that the criterion Speedy A7 only applies to people, organizations, organized events, and web content. It does not apply to concepts, or films, or any creative work. I am removing your tags, and I very strongly advise you not to do any further deletion tagging until you have carefully read WP:CSD and WP:Deletion policy. DGG ( talk ) 22:28, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi DGG - Yeah Bbb23 also just pointed that out to me. Thought I understood that criteria. Obviously I was wrong. Re-read the criteria and now think I've got it. I was trying to pound a square peg in a round hole. Am just attempting to get up to speed at RPP to help with the backlog. Thanks for your patience. Onel5969 (talk) 23:09, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:Hydourite Festival (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am making a first time article submission on Wikipedia and we haven't hired any agency to do the same and hence have put up the entire article on my own. This is one of the most successful cultural festivals of Hyderabad (India) and the only festival that spans across 100 days in the entire country of India. Please let me know how do I go about the editing or please suggest if we have any professional help that I can ask for. You could google for the term HYDOURITE and see the kind of responses you get for the same; if that helps. Hydourite (talk) 06:28, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Hydourite - the article wasn't declined because the festival isn't notable. The sources seem to indicate that it is. It was declined because it's written as a promotional piece, not as an encyclopedia article. It needs to be edited to remove all the promotional aspects of it, as well as peacock terms. Don't express opinions, simply give facts. Also, take a look at WP:CIT to see how to correctly format citations. Go over it again, with those things in mind, and I'll take another look at it. Onel5969 (talk) 13:50, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much

Even though I'm not the author of She-She-She Camps, I appreciate the time that you put into helping the author get the article into main space because I think the information it contains is very interesting. I wasn't involved as much as I wanted to be in helping to improve the article so at this time I was wondering if you could share with me some of the things that you still think need to be improved.

  Bfpage |leave a message  11:40, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bfpage - No worries. I found the article very well done for a first effort. Was very impressed, and the editor wanted to learn, so it was easy to want to help them. Noticed you put it at "start" level for that project. Personally, I think it is definitely a C level, and not far from B. The first thing I think that needs to be done is fixing the "images" section. If the pictures that those links go to are to free pics, than upload the photos and integrate them into the article. You could leave a brief gallery (say no more than 6 pics). Second, the citations need to be formatted correctly. Third, it needs a quick edit to get MOS guidelines adhered to (e.g. capitalization in the headers, overuse of bold in the body of the article, etc.) Then it needs a c/e. There's niggling things like capitalization errors (e.g. Pleurisy instead of pleurisy). Other than the photos, the other three are easily done. Once you get those four things done, I'll be happy to take another look, but at that point I think you could easily move it to B status. Onel5969 (talk) 14:30, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Such excellent suggestions! I'll probably be able to get to these things today. I'm glad you think the article could advance to a B status. I took a look at the procedures related to an article becoming a DYK entry on the main page and at this point time it's beyond my understanding. Have you ever done anything like this? I'm not asking you to do all the work that it would take to highlight this article in the DYK section of the main page, but if you know another editor who is really good at making this happen could you let me know? Also, I find it difficult sometimes to locate articles submitted to AfC, to help with.

I was also very impressed for this being the first article from this editor and intend to encourage him or her to keep on creating articles. They obviously have a gift in writing and would take such a short time to get them up to speed to create significant content. If you want to keep me in mind and let me know when you think someone could use my help in topics related to science, health. medicine. and/or biology I would be glad to help out. I am quite useless in bringing biographical articles up to standards because I don't understand the fascination with the lives of other people who I don't think are notable... I appreciate the communication that we've had and I look forward to hearing from you again. Best Regards

  Bfpage |leave a message  12:53, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Will definitely keep you in mind Bfpage for those types of articles, particularly since they are not my strong point. I try to encourage as many new editors as I can, especially those who either have such a good first effort, or those who are simply begging to learn. Regarding DYK... no, I've never attempted to advanced an article like that (although 3 of my articles have been featured). I guess you could always go to the Teahouse and ask there if someone knows the process. Regarding AfC entrants, you main link to find articles is: Category:Pending AfC submissions, I use that, then click on the AfC pending submissions by age. Nice talking to you. Happy editing!

Edit of Regina A. Herzlinger

Hi, you edited and rejected the article with Regina E. Herzlinger. I created a usename TrentTrout59 AFTER the article was edited. Do you have any guidance for us? Dr. Herzlinger is one of the foremost health policy analysts in the United States, one of the most admired professors at Harvard Business School, the first woman to earn tenure on the faculty of Harvard Business School, and the author of numerous influential books and articles on health care. I think you're looking for references that aren't HBS websites.

TrentTrout59 - although I'm not sure that is your correct username, since there isn't a user page or talk page with that name (but it could be you simply haven't created them yet). For notability purposes, you should have citations from 2-3 independent, reliable sources which show in-depth coverage of the subject. In other words, the sources can't be affiliated with the subject or with any organization she is affiliated with (you can use sources like that to verify the facts of the article, just not for notability purposes). In addition, take a look at WP:CIT on how to format citations. If a citation has a weblink, it should be included. If a citation is from a newspaper or magazine, it should have the date, page #, author's name and title of the article, as well as the publication name. If from a book, it should include title, publisher, author, page #, date published, isbn #, etc. I hope this helps, will be happy to take another look at it after you make the corrections. Onel5969 (talk) 14:38, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

OK, I understand. We had sources including The Economist, Modern Healthcare, and New England Journal of Medicine but I can provide many more. Here's what I did. I wasn't sure about whether I needed to create a username so I did it after I submitted the article. How can I get back to the draft I submitted?TrentTrout59 (talk) 22:35, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Guitar pickup potting

Hi I was asked to provide inline references, this I did. I have waited 2 weeks and now rejected again. I hope you can provide a clue as to what is missing, I did what was asked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Guitar_pickup_potting Thanks The Naughty Badger (talk) 16:33, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi The Naughty Badger - Well, there are 2 inline citations, but at least 2 more are needed (I've marked where). Second, I'm not sure the topic meets the notability criteria. Check out WP:GNG. Are there any articles from reputable sources which speak about this topic in-depth? If not, you might want to folk this information into the Pickup (music technology) article. Onel5969 (talk) 03:14, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi and thanks, I have added two more inline citations and another video demonstrating the process. I would say that pickup potting is indeed notable and a very important aspect of guitar electronics and certainly not just an aside in the main category. I will certainly add further information and refernces to this article over time. The Naughty Badger (talk) 09:04, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

  • User:Lizseach (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello! Thank you for your review and feedback. (And also for your nice note.) I am hoping that you could give me some more specific suggestions. About ten days ago, this article was declined for a similar reason, namely that I needed to add more inline citations. I wrote to that reviewer and asked him if he had any ideas about where I should put more citations. I explained that I had been trying to gauge how many citations to put in based on looking at articles about similar academics and using them as models. The two I had chosen were Nelson Lichtenstein (another faculty member at the same institution) and James T. Richardson (another sociologist). Based on those examples (they each only have two), I was afraid that I had actually put too many citations into mine as it is now, and I did not put even more in for fear of looking amateurish. In response, the reviewer said that upon considering my article again, he had concluded that he'd had "brain failure" when reviewing it the first time, and he put it back in the line to be reviewed again. So I did not end up getting any specific feedback as to where more citations might be effective. I'm wondering if you have any that might help me? Thanks! :) Lizseach (talk) 18:49, 13 April 2015 (UTC)Lizseach

Lizseach (talk) 18:49, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Lizseach - There is such a thing as overciting, but that has to do when you have more then 2 citations per fact in the article. Your article is a "blp" (biography of a living person), and as such, has a higher level of inline citations needed than other articles. Basically, every "fact" in the article should have its own citation. Sometimes a citation covers more than one fact, and that's okay. Your article needs at least two more inline citations, I've marked where in the text I think they belong. More importantly, your article needs 2-3 in-depth articles from independent reliable sources, which show his notability. Right now, all the sources you have are from pages of organizations of which the subject is affiliated, and therefore not independent. I hope this helps. Onel5969 (talk) 03:32, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, Onel5969! That was very helpful. I have revised now with the "more is more" philosophy in mind and resubmitted. I found it somewhat tricky: in order to assert aspects of notability as "facts," and thereby create opportunities to cite them, I was required to say things that felt less neutral. I hope I have managed to strike the right balance. Any further editing suggestions are welcome. Again, many thanks for your help. :) Lizseach (talk) 07:19, 15 April 2015 (UTC)Lizseacg

Kansas City, Missouri - redlinks to school districts

Hi! I would like to discuss this edit.

I want to emphasize that sometimes red links are a good thing. Wikipedians want to encourage others to write contents at topics which don't yet have their articles. School districts in the United States have been shown to be notable, and this is a common outcome at AFD. This is especially so for the state of Missouri, where school districts are independent of municipal boundaries and have their own taxation departments. Every single Missouri school district should have a Wikipedia article, and removing redlinks to those topics impedes that goal.

Please don't remove redlinks of Missouri school districts. If you want to have something other than redlinks, please consider writing stubs for these school districts.

I am aware that one of the links points to the wrong target, so I'll hunt it and retarget the link.

Thank you, WhisperToMe (talk) 14:28, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi WhisperToMe - I understand your point, and you do such good work, I hear you. I don't usually simply get rid of redlinks. I do a lot of editing on old films, and definitely know the advantage of redlinks. My thinking here was that, unlike redlinks in films, which can be spread over dozens, if not hundreds of articles - and so when an article is created, the article creater doesn't have to go through all those articles and wikilink them, in this instance the number of articles a wikilink would affect is minimal.

I really reverted simply in response to your question in your edit summary. I will defer to your judgment if you want to keep the redlinks. The only thing I would ask is that if you do wikilink, please make sure it is to the correct article, which I see you recognize now. Happy editing! Onel5969 (talk) 14:36, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback! I'll check to make sure new blue links point to the right place. Often these school districts cover multiple municipalities and each have one or more high schools (some of which already have articles!) and so I would like to make sure these concepts are linked together so no walled gardens pop up :) - I'm actually working on Raytown's district article right now. Its high schools already had articles. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:47, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello ,

In your last message you said that everything was ok about my work ...

so i submit it but it's rejected again ???? i don't understand why

Regards

Bichetteln (talk) 14:54, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bichetteln - I can't find our earlier conversation, but your article has zero inline citations. Inline citations are just that: citations that are in the line of the copy of the articles. All of your citations are simply references, at the end of the article. Each fact in your article needs a citation. So, you say he moved to Paris in 1976. That needs a citation right at that point in the article. Same for each other fact you have in the article. Onel5969 (talk) 03:39, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

• Gomegas (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:George M Marakas (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Thank you for reviewing this submission. I am unclear on which of the references are considered unverifiable. All of the selected works are available online via the various journal webpages. The Google Scholar page shows a much larger research base than the selected references and all remaining references are independent of the article subject. Also, after reading the notability guidelines and reviewing many published articles about Dr. Marakas' peers in information research, I am unclear as to how to proceed to further establish notability. Most of Dr. Marakas' works are published in the premiere journals with his field. Would it help to include citation counts from Web of Science? He has been my research mentor for many years and I believe his notability within the field of information systems is beyond reproach. Please guide me in how to proceed to reach a successful publication.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Gomegas (talk) 15:56, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Gomegas (talk) 15:56, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gomegas. First, you have a potential conflict of interest, since you are connected to the subject. Doesn't mean you can't write the article, but it does mean you have to be careful of maintaining a neutral point of view. Second, to show notability, you need to have 2-3 in-depth articles from independent reliable sources (such as major newspapers or magazines). Also, please check out WP:CIT for examples on how to properly format citations. Onel5969 (talk) 03:45, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

"Comparison of Modern Surface to Air Missiles" - Brovich

Upon reviewing and rejecting my draft you proposed moving this information to "List of surface-to-air missiles".

There are two main problems to this and I am currently looking for solutions.

1. MODERN. "List of surface-to-air missiles" attempts to encompass all of them in existence. My intended scope was relevant, moderns SAMs. Including all SAMs into the list would make the comparison cluttered, and inefficient.

2. By Country. "List of surface-to-air missiles" arranges them by country in alphabetical order. It makes it easy to see what one country has developed. Splitting SAMs up into range categories makes comparing missiles easy, but does not accomplish the task of "List of surface-to-air missiles".

Excellent points, Brovich - I think the way to go is for you to add your information as an entirely new section in the existing article. Would that work for you? Onel5969 (talk) 03:48, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

I have to consider why others use "List of surface-to-air missiles". It would seem quite awkward, (right at then end of the article)/(right at the beginning of the article) to have something that deviates from the scope of "List of surface-to-air missiles". I already considered this before I wrote my article.

Info Type	"List of surface-to-air missiles" name implicates	List of surface-to-air missiles accomplishes	My article
All encompassing history	Yes	Yes	No
In a list format	Yes	Yes	No
In a table format	No	No	Yes
A Modern Scope	No	No	Yes
Comparison	No	No	Yes
Technical Data	No	No	Yes

If there was an article named "modern SAMS" or "List of modern SAMS", I would merge without hesitation. There are plenty of articles about modern SAMS(on a case by case basis), but there is no all encompassing article. This is my attempt and making that article.

OK I will propose a new solution that you can critique: -Create an new article called "list of modern surface-to-air missiles" and then add in the comparison tables.

Then there is always the option of accepting my original article. I believe it would be unique article with a unique purpose. Whether its an article about a specific MANPADS, short range SAM, medium range SAM, long range SAM or ABM. My article will remove the need for all the "See also:"s at the end of these pages and reduce the clutter on Wikipedia by a lot. Brovich

Hi Brovich - I changed the name of your article. The difficulty that you will face with this new list is that it is almost totally unsourced. I don't think it will be a huge issue, since all of the listings have their own articles. But resubmit now, and I'll move it to the mainspace. I'll also create a hatnote on the other list to show that users might want to check this one out as well (and vice versa). Onel5969 (talk) 14:37, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Resubmitted

Never mind, I fixed the typos in the title.

Thank you,

Brovich

  • Draft:Michael Silbermann (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi Onel, a colleague of mine asked me to take a look at this page they submitted and asked me to do what I can to edit it. Since I've done a couple of other wiki pages, they thought I might be better able to edit the page and get it up to standard. I would like to submit it by the end of the week, but thought I would check with you first to see if you have any suggestions.

The import of this page Silbermann is primarily his position in the Middle East Cancer Consortium (a stub page that I will also be updating shortly. I want to link to Silbermann's page, as I believe these should be two separate topics).

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

777desha777 (talk) 17:34, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi 777desha777 - I'm not sure this individual meets the notability criteria. Currently, there are 5 citations, and the first four are simply about 4 facts about the subject, none of which makes him notable. The fact that he's the chair of a notable group/committee does not in and of itself make him notable. With the current information in the article, I don't see the notability. Are there any other notable in-depth articles about him? Onel5969 (talk) 03:55, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Onel5969, I will keep doing some research. I think the situation may be that he is notable but I can't PROVE his notability. Please give me a some time to work on this. Please don't delete this page yet. I have a feeling it may be easier to find the newspaper articles about him in the Hebrew press... but I need to explore this more thoroughly. I know from everything I have read that he has had a huge impact on scientific relations related to cancer research, and brought together opposing parties for the common good in the battle against cancer. I just need to find how to prove this. If you have any other suggestions, I'm listening, and my research goes on. Thanks again! 777desha777 (talk) 10:53, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi 777desha777 - First, articles are never deleted from the draft space unless they are abandoned (not worked on for more than 6 months), so take your time. Second, you could be right about his notability. That's why when we decline it, we don't say the subject isn't notable, but simply that the citations don't support that notability. Good luck on working on it. Onel5969 (talk) 14:21, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Thomas A. Nazario

Hello, Onel5969. User:Ktscurria here, back from travels. Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Thomas_A._Nazario, they (Tom Nazario and his organization) understandably don’t want to give up their copyright. But if I rewrite the article such that the material objected to is no longer part, is that sufficient, or are there other problems with the material I’ve submitted?Ktscurria (talk) 20:04, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ktscurria - It's difficult to tell since the article has been blanked. After copyvio, the biggest issue will be notability. Are there 2-3 in-depth sources from independent reliable sources (usually well-known newspapers or magazines) about the subject? Onel5969 (talk) 03:59, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Proving Subject Notability

Thanks for reviewing my article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Cooper_Phillip

Unfortunately it wasn't accepted due to notability issues. I have created citations using 8 reliable sources. Just wondering what could be the problem. Are the sources are not reliable enough?

Hi Oleksiguy - first, please remember to sign your comments with the four ~ ... it helps so that we can "ping" you back to let you know we're responding to your question. Now, about the article. For a reference to be reliable, it has to have editorial oversight. Music Emmissions doesn't. The Spotlight doesn't. ArtistDirect is a marketing site, and therefore not reliable. The Heed piece is nice, but that magazine is a fringe magazine at best, so you'd need several like that, from different sources to show notability. Your 7th and 8th sources are good for verifying the facts in the article, but not for notability. You need to find 2-3 in-depth articles from reliable sources (like Rolling Stone, or the Seattle Times for example - The Seattle PI is a good source as well, but that article isn't really about the subject, it's about the other person's album) - Hope this helps.

Hi Yatin Rewale - There are a few issues with the article, although I think that the notability issue has been resolved. First, the article is written in an informal style. Talking about his "dream" and "journey" and "business sense". Additionally, you need to find someone who can do a very thorough c/e on the article, correcting a lot of the grammar issues. You should also check out MOS:LAYOUT to learn more about the layout and structure of an article. Finally, since this article is a blp (biography of a living person), you need many more inline citations to verify the facts asserted in the article. Hope this helps.

Hi Bichetteln - Yes and no. The letelegramme and le-petitbleu are decent articles. I would think you would need another 1-2 articles like that to show notability. Wikipedia can't be a reference to itself. Also, get rid of the LinkedIn link, doesn't belong Wikipedia. The official website should be included, but doesn't help with notability. The references, however, need to be in-line citations. See referencing for beginners, to help you with that. Good luck. Onel5969 (talk) 14:21, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Bichetteln (talk) 09:40, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bichetteln - I see what the issue is now, and I apologize for the confusion. When you leave a comment on a user's talkpage, you should start a new heading (or edit in the existing thread that you started earlier). On April 1, you clearly gave the article Draft:Yann Benoist. At that point, I felt there were two issues with the article, you needed another 1-2 references to show the notability of Benoist, and you also needed to put the citations in-line. However, on the fourth, you simply added to thread of the ip editor above you, who referenced Icon Ventures. Not realizing that Icon wasn't your article, I was responding to that editor, since that was the article I looked at. On a blp (biography of a living person), there is a high degree of ilc (in-line citations) needed. Take a look at WP:ILC. Sorry about the confusion. Took me a while to figure it out, so I can imagine what it did to you. After you add the ilc, let me know and I'll take a look at it. Remember to provide a link to your article, and to create a new section on my talkpage. Onel5969 (talk) 14:29, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Danandrewsreporter - Hi. You might pass the notability criteria, it's borderline. I'll let another editor take a crack at it, and see what they think.

Re: Jacob Whitesides

How can an artist who has a number one hit on Itunes be borderline? An artist in music can go no higher then #1. So we have a number 1 selling artist, 1.5 million twitter followers, in Billboard, Vogue, American Songwriter, and that is borderline? As far as cleaning up grammar...I am not going to invest anymore time in this article until it either gets a green light or a second review from someone with more realistic standards. In all do professionalism, few artists reach number one...in sales on Itunes. That is what makes someone noteworthy. Again, I see no real point of spending time cleaning this up if you are going to be unrealistic in the process of what defines notability.

On a side note this is part of the reason why I hate wikipedia...common sense states if someone reaches number one on the music charts then that is a clearly noteworthy accomplishment...

Hi RubyJMDE - You can check out Referencing for Beginners for hints about references. What you'll want to find is 2-3 significant, in-depth articles on Ellis in reliable, independent sources. Those are usually magazines and newspapers. Those will show his notability. Then, you'll need a reference for the facts in the article (they can be the same, but sometimes you can get facts from non-independent sources, e.g. US Army sources). Once you add sources, let me know and I'll take another look at the article. Onel5969 (talk) 01:50, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Timtrent - Yeah, I see that. I guess that's always something that can happen. I'll keep an eye on it as well. Question - regarding the awards, I always thought that if they were notable awards (following wiki guidelines on what is or is not notable), they were valid to include, as long as referenced. I know by their very nature they are promotional, but am I wrong in that assumption? Onel5969 (talk) 01:53, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

With awards I think the answer is that truly notable awards are excellent additions to any article. I admit to having ripped the entire section down with no thought, or, rather, with the thought that we were seeing a wallpapering exercise that needed to be nipped in the bud. With less wallpaper I would have considered each one individually. The editor is an employee of the organisation and deserves guidance. Fiddle Faddle 08:41, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Fooled myself. No, I never ripped that section down! I asked for references. It was some other enormous section I ripped down. With awards I have asked for references. Mea culpa. Fiddle Faddle 08:42, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Sorry Timtrent, if I gave the impression you had trashed the awards. Re-reading what I wrote, I can see why you might have thought that.

Thank you for reviewing the article on Alexander Beridze. I have made revisions that I hope will satisfy the copyright concerns and I added a photo of him that was posted on Wikimedia. Wikiawesome also reviewed the article and suggested some changes which I have made. If there are any specific sections or sentences that you think are in need of revision, it would be a big help if you could identify those. I appreciate your help.

Hi AnnRos - There is still an issue with the copyright violation. Here's a link to the page showing the issues. That should make it clearer to you. There are always going to be stuff that's the same, like names of schools and organizations, etc. Don't worry about those. It's much better, but still needs work. Also, there are a few places where you need a citation to verify the facts in the article (in the Early life section, and the last line of the Awards section). Hope this helps.

Hi Redilion - First of all, congrats on the article, it's rare that I see an article accepted and put right in the C category. I can't think of one ever starting off as a B. If you look at the 6 criteria for grading, your article would pass on #1, #2, #5, and #6. The lead section needs work, take a look at WP:LEAD, other than that you would also pass #3.

Captain Trevor Haworth article

Hi, You very kindly reviewed my submission for a page to be created for my late Father who passed away last year. Unfortunately you denied my article on the basis that it appeared to infringe copyright. The article that has created the conflict was infact written by me - its just that the reporters who published Trevor's Bio never acknowledged that they were my words. I'd still like to try to create an entry for Trevor. He had an interesting life and made a significant contribution to Tourism and Cruising in Sydney a in Fiji. Given the amount of time Id have to invest in writing this getting the formatting correct, figuring out how Wiki works etc, I would therefore like to ask you if you could assist with publishing the article for me? I have volumes of information on Trevor, his life and contribution. Can I send these to you? Do you do this on a paid basis? If you are unable to help, can you recommend someone who might be able to assist me?

If you want to pay, make a contribution to the organization. It might take me a week or two to write the article, even longer if I really get into it. But send me the information and I'll take a look. Onel5969 (talk) 14:35, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

A pie for you!

Thanks for helping out as I am getting started! MMSS4S (talk) 06:04, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello Onel5969 ,

I'm not sure i understand all your answers :

about inline citations when you said he moved to Paris : do you mean i have to explain the reason ???

so i wrote a reason ....

About Reference : i added one link about his work with the French singer Sheila

and one article about CD of the French singer Serge Lama . His CD was succesfull and a new direction for his career . Yann Benoist is credited as arranger and composer on this CD

Hi Bichetteln - No, an inline citation doesn't mean stating a reason; it means that there needs to be a citation (a reference) which verifies that fact. So in the Paris instance, after that sentence there should be a footnote linking to a source which verifies that he moved to Paris. References like the one of the CD are okay to verify facts, but not for notability purposes. Onel5969 (talk) 14:38, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, My name is ivan. i have been requested by the son of Alfonso Valdés jr. to write a certain type of biography of his father in wikipedia. Same as his father Alfonso Alfonso_Valdés_Cobián and his daughter Camalia_Valdés he have been involved in a lot of relevant activities as i wrote on the bio. Alfonso Valdes III whos is his son is really confused by why the information he gave is not being taken in a relevant manner since, both his daughter and father got accepted. i really want to help him since i also belive he have been an important person in the industry of island of Puerto Rico.

Hello, I am not sure what other criteria to include for David R. Gastfriend, as it seems to me that he does fit the description, and the details included, for your guidelines of a notable person. Please advise as to how I can make this information more notable. Thank you 38.98.222.171 (talk) 19:46, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

A. G. Riddle rejection

Hello, I am at a loss how being a best selling author and having your books being picked up for film doesn't warrant being "notable." I have not referenced Riddle's personal website; I have used Amazon as a reference regarding his book sales, and have used independent sources regarding movie adaptations. What else can I do/reference? It seems strange that I could probably create a page for one of his books, or when the film comes out a page for the film, but I can't create a page for the one who created them? Please advise!

alexander Beridze article by AnnRos

Thank you for the review of the article on Alexander Beidze. It was extremely helpful to see the link to the earwig copyvio detector to see the problem areas. I have made quite a few revisions and added some new references that I hope will work to make the article publishable. Could you please review it again? Thanks so much.

Thanks for your review and your subsequent suggestions. This is my first time using wikipedia to write an article and i did not follow the guidelines needed in citation. Kindly give me another chance to edit and make the article compatible to the guidelines as set by wikipedia. I would start the necessary editing of the whole document and looking forward to your further advice and suggestion please.
