User talk:Sulfurboy

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. :)

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)

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)

Hi Sulfurboy, I have removed all external links from the article altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.86.38 (talk) 08:50, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

New listing for The Caring Neighbors Network 501(C)3 Charity

Hi -

Do you have any idea when this will be reviewed? We are being considered for a grant but they would like to see the organization listed. Seems odd but that's what they asked us.

Thanks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shawn P Adamo, CPA (talk • contribs) 17:19, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

• Sorry, but that's not a very good reason, and if a grant-granting agency asks for a Wikipedia article, they don't know very well what Wikipedia is all about and how it works. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 17:21, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
• Shawn P Adamo, CPA, I think Sulfurboy, who's looked at hundreds of articles, will agree that Draft:Shawn P Adamo is not ready for primetime, to put it mildly. In addition, you probably wanted to create Draft:The Caring Neighbors Network or something like that. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 17:23, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Oh, you did--well, that's going to have to be declined. An award in the advertising supplement of a local paper (dailyrecord.com--click at your own risk, Sulfurboy, it crashed Firefox) is not a reason for notability. Drmies (talk) 17:27, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
    • Drmies is on point here. Thank you for pointing these things out. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:24, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
      • Hey Sulfurboy, I see these things go by on Recent Changes and sometimes I just butt in. Feel free to tell me to butt out--I do this because you got a lot on your plate for which, by the way, we should all be grateful. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 23:48, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
        • No, I very much appreciate it Drmies, especially because my work schedule is strange and I'm sometimes away from the computer for days. Please always feel free to comment on anything on my talk page.

  • Draft:Modo - Circus With Purpose (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello

You have recently declined an article I submitted for Modo - Circus with Purpose on the grounds that it wasn't written in the formal tone of an encyclopaedia article and was potentially one sided and wasn't referenced properly. I have reread the article but I'm still struggling to change it.

Could you please let me know which bits of the article are the problem? Or give me example paragraphs or write something so I can see how it should be written? I'm a big supporter of Modo and I think having a Wikipedia page would benefit the company quite a lot so any help or advice you can give would be wonderful.

I look forward to hearing from you

LittleMishaps (talk) 10:17, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

There's muiltiple examples, like "Modo uses circus because it’s exciting, different and has clearly defined achievements within it. " Sounds like an advertisement more than a formal, neutral article. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:27, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Ahurvitz2 (talk) Dear Sulfurboy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Roberta_Grossman

Thank you for your comments and corrections over the past few months as I write my draft.

On August 5, 2015 you left a note: "Comment: It should be noted that the page creator has stated they are being advised by Grossman on how to create the page. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:37, 5 August 2015 (UTC)"

I am writing the page and using only sources that are factual and objective. Grossman is not advising me.

As a matter of fact, I am trying to edit the page to make it as neutral as possible.

I hope that my latest draft will pass inspection.Ahurvitz2 (talk) 17:54, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

You state right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk#16:51:54.2C_5_August_2015_review_of_submission_by_Ahurvitz2 that you are working with them? Kind of silly to lie about this when it's on record. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:31, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

A cheeseburger for you!

A snack for when you're away from the computer. I'm making enchiladas with roasted vegetables and a creamy poblano sauce, but there's no icon for that (I kind of invented them, I think). Have whatever you like, and know that your work here is greatly appreciated. Drmies (talk) 00:07, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

This page had been manipulated and edited so many times, that I was alerted of this and this is the 4th time! Wiki had protected the original contents... Afterwards, others from other countries could "add to" but could not take away. Too many people were "claiming themselves as founders and when I returned, it was so corrupted that which Wiki had protected the original contents was "hijacked" at some point; for the last time this was edited and finally protected by Wiki was actually in 2006 - I do apologize from earlier about the date when I had to clean up the entire page for the 3rd time. This page is very old in Wiki....

To be honest, I'm not sure at all what you're talking about. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:11, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Janus Pannonius Grand Prize for Poetry

Hi Sulfurboy,

Thanks for the comments on the draft of Janus Pannonius Grand Prize for Poetry. The article was indeed copied from an outside source but the user who copied it has the permission of the original author, Mr. Géza Szőcs, who sent an e-mail to permissions-en[at]wikimedia.org stating that he releases it under Creative Commons licence. Can you please help this article get approved? Thanks. – Alensha ^talk 10:48, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

The person who sent it in, I presume knows how to go through the proper channels for this to be confirmed. When this is approved by a reviewing admin it should show on the page. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:12, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Danielle Barnett - Submission Declined

Hello,

I have recently had the same decline message from my previous message because of my reference isn't adequate for notoriety for the person I am talking about. I have used at least one reference from the golden rule? can you explain why I have been declined again and possibly help me? I am new to this.

Best regards,

Trevor — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iconic Sound (talk • contribs) 10:55, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Hey! I have been trying to upload this page for a couple of months now and have been rejected a few times already. This last time, the article submitted had been pruned substantially from the earlier versions and every line had a reference. Would it be possible to know which specific line triggered the reject? Or which portions are acceptable, so that we can work on that as a guideline. Thanks!

Geetam123 (talk) 17:26, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

The problem isn't with specific lines. The problem is that the sources is not enough to show secondary, independent coverage enough to prove notability. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:13, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:Clearfield, Inc. (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I just wanted to verify that I modified the content and fixed the press release links. The new links are all legitimate sources external from Clearfield and was just hoping to see if you could give it another glance over.

Thank you much! Ewert333 (talk) 21:00, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Things are very busy with me right now, so it will have to be another editor. The backlog isn't bad though so it shouldn't take too long. Best of luck. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:14, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the edits

Hi Sulfurboy - Thanks for your review of this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Media_School. I added inline citations. Please let me know if there are other changes that I can make to improve the page. Thanks! TurtleClaw9 (talk) 02:48, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi Sulfurboy, thanks for your time to review my article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Immunization_Technical_Support_Unit_(ITSU) few days back. I have re-written the article with the help of helpdesk team on IRC, it will be great if you can review my article and suggest if this is good to go.

AfC acceptance

Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lo Mein (book). It is a good idea with book articles to always check WorldCat. DGG ( talk ) 22:01, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Excuse me, but your vague comments are not constructive. You obviously need to do a lot of research in this matter before making further comments.

The issue involves a quilt that very few have seen. Despite this, there are many who will falsely assume that they know all there is to know about his quilt based on feeble research.

What is being neglected here is not the quilt, or its history but the CODE this is present on the quilt in plain view- that is if you know how to read it.There is book about this quilt and the history of those who made it. This information is very scarce. There are those who will say what code? If you are one of those, then you will need to read this book to educate yourself about this.

The book demonstrates very clearly how to read the code on this quilt.

There is a learning curve in understanding this material. If you have trouble understanding this written in plain English, then get some help. Hey,I can't read the book for you!

There is very little evidence to support any theory regarding either the existence or non-existence of a quilt code for the underground railroad. This quilt places a rare, authentic physical model of this code in front of everyone to examine and analyze. That is why we currently have a move afoot to place this very exceptional 130 year old quilt in the African American Museum opening in 2016 at the Smithsonian Institute. There is a gross deficit in our understanding of these principles. This will quite simply allow for further study. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JEAllen101 (talk • contribs) 03:01, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

15:32:29, 9 August 2015 review of submission by Galileo IV

• Galileo IV (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Asian Pacific Society of Respirology (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

An excellent reliable, verifiable and notable reference has been given (the first in the list of References), but the submission was rejected. Interestingly there is no external reference, nothing at all, for similar medical societies in Europe and the US ( e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Thoracic_Society ), yet those submissions were accepted. This made no sense, until I read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Systemic_bias

Asian medical society with notability reference - rejected. Anglophone medical societies without notability reference - accepted.

Further attempts would be futile and therefore I will not resubmit this article. Galileo IV (talk) 15:32, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

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

I've added section headings as suggested, and a new background paragraph with new footnotes, to improve the encyclopedic style. I believe the text is now neutral, and contains no lingering peacock terms. Thanks for your continued help with this. Gorgenkor (talk) 16:24, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
