Hi Sulfurboy - I sent you a message yesterday, but I realized I didn't include the link to my article draft. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jacob_York_(2)) Thank you again for taking the time to review it. Per your recommendations, I removed all information that does not have supported wiki-approved references. I also re-drafted the article so that it no longer resembles the IMBD profile and I added additional inline citations throughout. Please let me know if there is anything else! Is this enough verifiable information for a stub? Thanks again!

Revision as of 15:35, 5 August 2015


I again will be working almost the entire weekend and will probably not be available till Monday. Please be patient in my responses. If it is an immediate issue please seek out an admin. If you have an AfC page that you think is ready again, just go ahead and re-submit it so another editor can see it. Thanks.


See an issue needing an answer on my talk page that you could help with? Feel free to answer!

I will absolutely not respond to your comment unless you follow the following simple rules in placing a comment on my talk page.

  • 1)You have read my FAQ below and haven't asked a question answered by it.
  • 2)Appropriately post a new section (see button/link above) at the BOTTOM of the page
  • 3)Do not ask me to just generically fix your page without a specific question, I'm not interested in fixing everyone's page for them.
  • 4)You need to hyperlink to the page you are discussing, this is probably most important. If it's remotely difficult for me to figure out what page you're talking about, I'm not going to waste my time.

Sorry if those four things seem harsh, but I review and patrol hundreds of pages a day and can't keep up with all the replies.

FAQ You declined a page I submitted for AfC and have a question... If that question is directly answered by one of the hyperlinks posted after I reviewed it, I will not answer you. You'd be surprised how often it happens. The posted links are posted for a reason!

Why did you not leave a comment when you tagged my page? I typically won't unless I think the issue may be unclear. New page patrol is overwhelmed (~50,000 pages to be reviewed with only ~1000 being currently reviewed every week) and if I spent the time to explain every tag, I wouldn't be able to review even a third of the pages I do now.

I completely disagree with a tag you placed on my page!! If you disagree with a tag, please state why on the article's talk page and leave a note here for me to review it. If you think the tag was a blatant error on my part (it happens, sorry), then please revert the edit and leave me a message letting me know that was the case.

I don't see a conversation or message I posted on your talk page... Check the archives, conversations are typically automatically archived after five days. If you wish to comment on an archived section, please move it back to the main page. I do not regularly monitor my archive pages.

Why do you keep tagging my page? Do you have something against me? No. Occasionally after you address certain issues, more issues will arise on my re-review. For example, let's say I first tagged your page for having no references, after you add references I may go back and add a tag for no in-line citations (which would have been irrelevant before there were references). Also, if there are multiple, small issues with your page and I can see you're new, I might just tag a few things at a time instead of overwhelming a new user. Please do not take any of my tags personally. I do not target people. I go straight down the list on the new page patrol. I do however regularly watch pages I review, which is why you might see me come up often in edits on your page.

Will you help me fix issues you tagged on my page? Typically not, unless I need a break from new page patrol. Why? I used to do this and it got to be very overwhelming. I feel the actual new page patrol needs my help more than helping to fix things on already existing pages (not to mention there's others much more qualified than me for most fixes suchs as categories, copyediting, etc). It doesn't hurt to ask though, but please do not be offended if I do not help or don't respond. The tea house is your friend, use it. Note: I will always clarify on tags, though. All in all,don't hope the house will build itself!

I would like to give you an award, thank you note, or barnstar... Thanks! You're awesome. And I always love the support. But please put it on my user page, not my talk page. :)

Operation: Overkill

Re: this acceptance, MobyGames is a user-contributed site and not reliable (WP:VG/RS is useful for tracking what video game sites are reliable). Probably shouldn't have been accepted. – czar 03:32, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've also nominated Heart's Medicine and Stunt Rally (video game) for deletion. They rely almost exclusively on primary and unreliable sources. – czar 06:58, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, I've added that link to my list of things to look at from now on, I assumed those pages would stand at least a 50/50 chance of passing AfD, as they were very borderline passes for me. I'll keep the sourcing for video games in mind next time. Cheers. Sulfurboy (talk) 19:25, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Abdulaziz Al-Bashir - modifications

Hi Sulfurboy,
Thank you very much for you advice and assistance. I've made the modifications you asked for; converted sources into footnotes and deleted others that have already been mentioned in the footnotes. Do you think I can submit again. Thanks again.

pptArt article creation

Thanks for your comments on the creation of the pptart page. You mentioned that I should add more sources. I think I have included enough secondary, reliable and verifiable sources. Is the problem related to the fact that some sources are in Italian so they are not immediately verifiable? Thanks Artlatinlover (talk) 10:07, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Don't know what these heart "types" mean. Not in FAQ? Hope this works as a belated thank you for comments re my rejected article FF Nicholls. Good of you to welcome a newcomer. Thanks.

Inline citations rule

Please note that the inline citations rule is only applicable to BLPs. I see you have declined several submissions for lacking ILCs that are not biographies of living people. See WP:MINREF Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:00, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So we're no longer worried about "Any statement that you believe is likely to be challenged."? I thought that was part of the guidelines on the AfC page...Sulfurboy (talk) 19:00, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Marcia Wright page

Hey man, hopefully my new edits will suffice with the added references. Thanks for your input and time. Boxingwalker (talk) 15:51, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Schroeter (Medal of Honor)

Hello,

Would you be so kind to look once again at the article on Charles Schroeter (Medal of Honor)? My primary goal is a B Class article.

I think it is far better than the last time you looked at it. Writing is not my forte and American syntax and grammar sometimes is confusing for me. Any help appreciated.

Thank you! Jrcrin001 (talk) 19:15, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Jrcrin001. You need to speak with the people who work with the specific projects listed on the talk page. You can find the links to their pages via your pages talk page. Once there, you should post something just like you posted here on the project talk page or wherever they say is appropriate. I'm not apart of any of those projects, so it wouldn't be appropriate for me to grade it. Sulfurboy (talk) 19:24, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the suggestion. Jrcrin001 (talk) 19:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jillian Haslam

Hi Sulfurboy,

Thank you for reviewing my page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jillian_Haslam Could you explain how the article did not meet inline citation requirements? Nmwalsh (talk) 10:12, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The first two paragraphs nor, the claim about her being married have inline citations. Sulfurboy (talk) 15:02, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Nmwalsh (talk) 13:12, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

16:51:35, 3 August 2015 review of submission by 2602:252:D0C:A570:F4ED:EEDF:2FE7:FA85


I was wondering for what reason the page was declined to be published. It seems to have all of the requirements. Please let me know. 2602:252:D0C:A570:F4ED:EEDF:2FE7:FA85 (talk) 16:51, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article is full of puffery and is neither neutral, nor formal. Please refer to the links in the decline message on the page. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:58, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bobowikibobo (talk) 16:57, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sulfurboy: There’s something about the footnotes that I’m not getting. I studied the tutorials, and thought I fixed the problem. I also checked out some other articles of the same kind for a model. My idea was to move all the reference information to the footnotes: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Norbert_Francis&redirect=no Help me out so I can find a solution to this last hurdle. I realize that there are a number of different methods to use, as long as the one I use is consistent throughout the article. Is there still an inconsistency that I haven’t noticed? Thanks, Bobowikibobo ˜˜˜˜

Made Sections for Noah Cowan page

Hi! Thank you for accepting my draft of Noah Cowan's page. Just wanted to let you know that I divided the page into sections - I was hoping the notice at the top about dividing it could now be removed.

05:16:59, 4 August 2015 review of submission by FarhanRoots1


FarhanRoots1 (talk) 05:16, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sulfurboy,

We have recently tried to get a profile registered with Wikipedia which has been declined by you. We are struggling hard to understand the idea of not imposing any peacock words and avoid incorporating anything which is not upto wikipedia mark. We have also reviewed the links provided by you to better understand the encyclopedic content, however, we are still not able to revise our profile content. It has been declined once again.

Dear Sulfurboy, would you be able to specify what exactly we have to re-write in the given content? We would be grateful if you could refer to our content and highlight the points in the profile.

We look forward to hearing an affirmative response from you.

Best,

Who is we? Are you writing this on behalf of a company? Sulfurboy (talk) 05:28, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sulfurboy,

Its the Web Developer and a Content Writer. We are working with Mr. Walid Mushtaq as his team and trying to develop his Wikipedia profile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FarhanRoots1 (talk • contribs) 05:13, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

06:21:57, 4 August 2015 review of submission by 68.101.102.40

These are two feature articles in the Orange County Register, the second largest newspaper in Southern California. The articles reflect Tice's accomplishments and are notable, reliable, and independent. The feature articles were written as Disney recognized Tice for her significant contributions to the Happiest Place on Earth for over ten years. Tice is the only Disney cast member to ever be singled out for this.

68.101.102.40 (talk) 06:21, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They aren't properly sourced, see WP:MOS, further coverage from just one newspaper only proves local coverage which isn't enough to show notability in this case. Sulfurboy (talk) 07:04, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

09:39:22, 4 August 2015 review of submission by Prashant.chitkara


Prashant.chitkara (talk) 09:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC) Hi,[reply]

I have resubmitted the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Immunization_Technical_Support_Unit_(ITSU) with change in language. Can you please approve the same. In case you still find some issue, please let me know the line/paragraph so that i can revise again.

Thanks and best regards, Prashant Chitkara

Resubmission of Sypro_Management_Limited

Hi Sulfurboy,

I've followed your last few bits of advice, removed the irrelevant referenced and sourced another couple of relevant and notable ones

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

Let me know if there's anything else that needs changing.

Regards, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.86.38 (talk) 15:57, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I will wait for another editor to review it, since I looked at it the last two times. Thanks. Sulfurboy (talk) 18:38, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

16:33:37, 4 August 2015 review of submission by Gorgenkor


Thanks for reviewing my article. I had a few questions about the comments -- one was on the request for a range of reliable, independent sources. I'd added quite a few footnotes in response to an earlier request, including articles in The Atlantic Magazine, the Washington Post, and other newspapers. None of those publications are tied to the Two Row or to me. Can you give me more specifics on is lacking in terms of these sources?

I had also removed peacock terms in an earlier rewrite of the article - I deleted phrases like "epic journey," for example. I would appreciate it if you could point out any such terms that I have missed.

Also, I've attempted to describe the journey, its participants and goals in a neutral way -- listing their accomplishments, but not promoting them. If you could point out a phrase or two that seems to favor or promote the topic, I'd appreciate your help with that too.

Many thanks!


Gorgenkor (talk) 16:33, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see nothing wrong with the sources, you would have to ask the other editors, but I think it is fine. The decline message is a boilerplate of sorts. Which is why it said that. The issue is that it needs to be written in a neutral, formal tone. As stated in that link, there needs to be sections. This will help with the main problem is that the article sounds more like it is telling a story instead of giving information about the event, if that makes sense.

17:49:40, 4 August 2015 review of submission by 10squared


Hello - Thank you for taking the time to review my article. Per your recommendation, I edited the article copy so that it no longer closely paraphrases the IMDB biography. I also removed any excess information that did not have verifiable references (according to wiki). Thank you again for your time! Please let me know if you see anything else that needs to be changed. 10squared (talk) 17:49, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

re: French Gov. references before 1947

Hello Sulfurboy, (art. on Alfred G Gerteiny)I need assistance. According to http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/Bases-de-donnees/Rechercher (the official French government data base on awarded honorary diplomas),records began to be published on the web beginning only in 1947; there are no records before that date. I need to document in my article the award, on 20 February 1938, of Officier d'Académie to my subject's father. I have contacted my subject who has a photocopy of the diploma; may I reference a photocopy in the article, and if so how?

Thanks for reviewing

Thanks for reviewing Draft:Global Travel International. I think you're right about the one-event notability, so I will go ahead and fold it into Buyers club. Brianhe (talk) 20:54, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. Thanks for your work though! Sulfurboy (talk) 20:56, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Should I blank the draft now, or just leave it? I don't usually go through AfC, so am unsure of the procedure. Brianhe (talk) 21:08, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 22:08:07, 4 August 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Snorky9


Hello, thanks for reviewing my submission. You mentioned we were rejected because our references did not convey notability. We have dozens of sources that I could cite. Should I include all our sources, would that help?


Snorky9 (talk) 22:08, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Our sources? Are you writing this on behalf of the press company? Sulfurboy (talk) 22:35, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

23:49:13, 4 August 2015 review of submission by Craxd1


A. C. de la Rive is as important as Leo Taxil, in the US, concerning the anti-Masonic movement, since he was regularly involved with, and publishing friends with, Leo Taxil. When one quotes one of their works, one almost has to quote the other, since both used each others writing as a source in the Taxil Hoax. This article will be linked with Leo Taxil, the Taxil Hoax, and Luciferian Doctrine articles on Wikipedia.

Craxd1 (talk) 23:49, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you're talking about, as long as you can present secondary independent coverage, the article will pass notability. Your opinion or ambition has nothing to do with whether something is notable. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:26, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I added the references to show him being notable in the US, did you even read them, or the sources? I added more, and a part about him being 'notable' in the US. This article has more sources, and notable US sources, than the Leo Taxil article, which was published.

Initial feedback on Sacred Attention Therapy article

Hello Sulfurboy,

Thank you for your review of the article "Sacred Attention Therapy" (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Sacred_Attention_Therapy&redirect=no). The feedback you left for me was as follows:

"This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please see the guide to writing better articles for information on how to better format your submission."

When you say "This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter," what does that mean, specifically? Can you be more specific with your help/guidance?

I have reviewed the guide to writing better articles and see much of what is offered there incorporated in my article. So I'm not sure where I am not following these guidelines.

Any, more specific guidance/help you can provide will be helpful. While I am new to Wikipedia, I did watch some tutorials, researched my article a lot, and spent time reviewing what might be deemed good articles...all before drafting my article in sandbox.

Thank you, Sulfurboy, for your continued assistance.

Sincerely,

Robert

What is meant is that a layreader unfamiliar with the subject can see the article and understand what it is about. Thanks. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:27, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External Links in Body

You recently commented on an Article for Creation that it had external links in the article body. We agree that is against Wikipedia policy. However, there are a few editors who think that there should be external links in the article body, because they claim that external links are more stable than internal links. (I don't know whether external links are changed more frequently than internal links or vice versa. What we do know is that internal links are changed by Wikipedia editors who should make consistent changes, and that Wikipedia has no control over external links, so that they either could rot without warning or be changed so that the content confuses the reader.) I had one case at the dispute resolution noticeboard where one editor was adding external links because he claimed that the instability of internal links had caused a considerable amount of article work to be lost forever. I am sure that you know that nothing is ever truly lost forever, even if it is hard to find, unless it becomes hidden due to redaction, and that is for things that never should have been in Wikipedia, such as insults. In any case, he insisted that the article should rely heavily on external links. I had to advise him that he could either post an RFC to get a special exception from the external link policy or an RFC to modify the external link policy to encourage them, and that he probably wouldn't succeed at either. Thank you for complaining about external links in the body. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:39, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
