July 2015

Hello, I'm 99.53.112.186. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Genevieve Lyons because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. 99.53.112.186 (talk) 20:28, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Please explain how adding a publisher's name and ISBN number is "not constructive" Theroadislong (talk) 20:40, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

July 2015

I'm sorry. How was I harassing a wikipedian? 2602:306:3357:BA0:5519:FC9:C812:ECA (talk) 20:56, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

See above. Theroadislong (talk) 20:59, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

I was not trying to harass anybody. I apologize if I hurt your feelings in any way. I was just trying to make sure everything fits well into context. When you added your information to that bullet point, it didn't seem to fit well in the article because none of he other books had it. I just didn't see a reason for it to be there. Next time, I will try to contact you in a more polite way before I start undoing contributions. Is that fair 99.53.112.186 (talk) 21:06, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Adding publisher and ISBN number for books is standard practice. Theroadislong (talk) 21:14, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

I understand now. Do you understand that I meant well when I gave you that warning? I wasn't trying to be mean, I was just trying to do what I thought at the time was best. 99.53.112.186 (talk) 21:20, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

The road is long

Gizem Senel is a not notable person who has written her own article. You have asked speedy deletion years ago, and the autobiography of a young woman who made a 4 minute something and calls it a film, and has played the "lead role" and therefore presents herself as a director and actress (and singer-songwriter!) and still mocks Wikipedia after so many years. I doubt anybody knows her out of Wikipedia. Even her name is manipulated, to fit internet better. Thanks for the speedy effort. She has come a long road since then. --176.239.78.173 (talk) 22:41, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 18 July 2015

more spieling mistakes by me that's why i'm changed again an again Mahendra Mewati (talk) 13:41, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are requesting? Theroadislong (talk) 14:28, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Genevieve Lyons Read More

I'm new to Wikipedia and learning constantly, thank you for your guidance. I appreciate the value of verification. I note the Read More at the bottom of Genevieve Lyons page is incorrect since John Murray Anderson was married to Genevieve Lyon who died in 1916, and Genevieve Lyons born in 1930. Not sure who can amend this error. Additionally I have newspaper cuttings from some of the plays reviews. If I locate a domain to store them in are these suitable for some of th Ella's appear mace verification. Many thanks Sam — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samanthajanerichardson (talk • contribs) 13:50, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

I can't locate any "read more" section? Better to detail the name of the newspaper and date rather than upload images. Theroadislong (talk) 15:42, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Pmdtechnologies

All I did was to correct the spelling of the company name to "all lowercase", but bots and admins turned the page into a total mess. How can we possibly get this article fixed if we're not allowed to edit anything, not even fix the name? We're not Apple or Google, and we can't enlist an army of "neutral" contributors that are allowed to take on the task. So thanks for pillorizing our company, and have a good day.

You need to propose your changes on the article talk page. Theroadislong (talk) 15:32, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

All right. My fault. I only wanted to update the company name and logo (obsolete for as long as three years), because (obviously!) no one outside the company would take care of it. I didn't realize this would constitute a COI. Pmdwiki (talk) 16:55, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! :D

Really thank you! It was my first post and I was unsure how to do it. I will be sure to get the proper sources for my edit and re-save it!

Hi Theroadislong .. Thanks for replying. Well, I, Sonam R Thakur, a Crew Member of DS Creations Entertainment Private Limited, had created an article on July 9th, 2015. I am really finding it difficult because creating an article on Wikipedia needs a proper detailed study. Our field is totally different and its our first effort. I keep on asking my fellow members for the help keeping in mind that there must understand some points which I may not be doing. Interestingly, even they find it difficult but still help me. So, I am an individual only who is writing the article but we all aren't getting the proper process to get an article published. Still enjoying the process. So, Theroadislong, please help me by having a look and tell me where I am lacking. Thanks ... Sonam R Thakur (talk) 19:54, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

questions about edits

Dear Sir, I did not agree with several edits you made to my edits. For one, I minorly edited a sentence about mold artists in Environmental Art that gave the full name of the person whose art is depicted in the photo, therefore I think it was a good edit and would like to recall it. Secondly, I added a second reference to the sentence about mold art in the article that was just a web address because I wasn't referencing any page on the website but rather the whole website as an illustration of mold art. Thirdly I created a page about artist Heather Barnett that you proposed for speedy deletion but she is certainly sufficiently significant, for one thing has given a TED talk plus created a collective regarding her interest (http://slimoco.ning.com/). Perhaps you would retract the request for speedy deletion? Greg Dahlen (talk) 12:47, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

I have removed the speedy at Heather Barnett (artist). Notability however has NOT been established and as it stands it would almost certainly fail an AFD, you need to find reliable third party sources that discuss her. Theroadislong (talk) 14:20, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

thanks for removing speedy, Theroadislong. But I don't understand, why is her not having given a TED talk plus establishing an association that brings together experts in her field, sufficient for notability? I appreciate your adding a sentence about where she is employed, but why do you think that that makes more of a case for her notability than the two facts I just named? Greg Dahlen (talk) 14:44, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

I would like to restore one minor edit on the Environmental Art article, I believe the slight re-wording of the sentence about mold art in the article is better. I would also like to re-add the reference to the slime mold collective website, I can add a "retrieved on July 25th 2015" note to it. Greg Dahlen (talk) 14:44, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Kitces page

Saw your notability tag and reference checks on Michael Kitces page. I can update this stuff, just hadn't bothered in a long time. Give me a few days? There are lots of new references since I wrote the page years ago. Just haven't been motivated to work on it in a while, after griefing I got from other Wiki editors after I first wrote. Kinda killed my interest in Wiki stuff for a while. Also, check out the notes from back then, notability had already been challenged and affirmed. Finplanwiki (talk) 19:47, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Also, Financial Planning magazine is a "notable" magazine in our industry. One of the leading three with top circulation, along with Investment News and Financial Advisor. Finplanwiki (talk) 19:49, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
