Thank you for reviewing my draft first of all :) I am new wiki user and even though i thought i edited the article after the first rejection, i could not quite understand why it was rejected again. Can you please help me understand what i am doing wrong. Thank you so much! Leafm (talk) 11:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC) Hi Leafm, nazilsin? We need the draft referenced with independent, reliable sources. Probably most of these are in Turkish, and that is OK, sources do not have to be in English on the English Wikipedia, although they are naturally preferred. Unfortunately I have to say türkcem csok iedil (sorry, I can't even spell it, only say it!), so you will have to dig up good sources. If you need help in adding them to the draft, leave me a message here and I'll help you.

I couldn't figure out how to separate the two discussions, so I separate them with the blank lines. Maybe you know how to fix it? It is very confusing to readers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 02:34, 24 November 2015 (UTC) E.M.Gregory, I'll have a look at least. If I can't fix it, I'll restore your "spacing". Thanks.

Thank you for your previous reply, i replied to it by editing it i think and just to make sure you get it, i'm also writing here, sorry if it's too much :) Here is a review from one of the most popular sites about jazz that was published this week, i'll add it to my draft:Elif Caglar. I guess this should count as a good reference right? that kind of ref. is what i see on other people's bio's, i hope i got it right this time :)) This is the review link: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/misfit-elif-caglar-self-produced-review-by-dan-bilawsky.php Thank you again, also for the Turkish reply! @Leafm: Allaboutjazz appears to be reasonably serious, but I do not know if they have any editorial review, so it is maybe not a fully fledged reliable source. You really need to dig up the Turkish sources. It dosen't matter that I do not speak Turkish, we have plenty of people who do. You should def join Wikipedia:WikiProject Turkey. Then you can post on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Turkey and get feedback both from guys/gals who knows Wikipedia and speaks Turkish. Huge benefit.

I checked out all the links you've suggested, thank you. Also, Elif is already in Wikipedia in Turkish. Some other jazz musicians from Turkey have an article about them on Wikipedia and all they have for reference is their Discogs.com profile, which Elif also has. (http://www.discogs.com/artist/3711141-Elif-%C3%87a%C4%9Flar?filter_anv=0&type=Releases ) Also the allaboutjazz review is on other articles too. (http://www.allaboutjazz.com/misfit-elif-caglar-self-produced-review-by-dan-bilawsky.php) She has many interview on all the major newspapers of Turkey but i've read interviews don't count. Here's a concert review on Hürriyet, one of Turkey's most popular newspapers (http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/elif-caglarin-buyusu-altindayim-21930812 )and news on her last tour from Daily Sabah, english version of one of Turkey's most important newspapers (http://www.dailysabah.com/music/2015/10/20/talented-jazz-artist-elif-caglar-to-take-the-stage-on-campuses) I can find many other links like this but since only a Discogs profile is enough, i'm thinking i'm doing something about inserting them to the article. Would you please help me with that? If you can't, as Team Elif we'll try again and again :)) Thank you so much for the help so far! Best.

The good SwisterTwister in Diff of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karen Anders then added your username manually. Using {{subst:Unsigned|Cornellrockey}} would have been better. No worries.

I was sitting reading in the archives of Wikipedia talk:Notability (music) about record labels earlier. I'm probably going to think a bit about it before posting a comment in the thread at your talk page. No need to rush it. Best, Sam Sailor Talk! 14:57, 29 November 2015 (UTC) Yes, I did realize that right after sending the message. Still, 900 is not any little number. About the record labels, yes sure. I wouldn't mind if you revert the closure yourself in case I am not around (I might be going on a vacation) or you can seek a DR. Regards, Yash! 15:01, 29 November 2015 (UTC) @Yash!: Thanks, but I'm not going to ask you to revert your NAC, let alone revert it myself, as I was part of the discussion. You are likely thinking about DRV not DR, but taking No Consensus closings there is, I believe, a bit pointy. What I think this case should inspire us to debate is that we at least get a mention in WP:MUSICOUTCOMES regarding record labels. Sam Sailor Talk! 15:08, 29 November 2015 (UTC) Yes, DRV and with that, I should finally turn off the computer and go to bed. Perhaps we can start an RfC about it?

I've checked out the links you've send and made some more changes in the references. I found a lot of interviews from all the major newspapers in Turkey but i read that they do not count, so i left them out. Also i discovered some other Turkish musicians with only Discogs.com profile as a reference which Elif has too, along with other references which i've added. I really hope it works this time. Also thank you for the Turkish Wiki suggestion, Elif Çağlar already has a page there. Best wishes! Leafm (talk) 11:51, 2 December 2015 (UTC) Leafm @Leafm: Merhaba arkadash.

Noticed the lack of an author name? It's not a reliable, secondary source. Sam Sailor Talk! 19:22, 2 December 2015 (UTC) Hi Sam, The authors of the magazine are on the rear covers if u skip through the magazine with the arrow keys. Ruby Kutowaroo info@audiationmagazine.com www.audiationmagazine.com This is an interview of the artist by the magazine, i feel it does count as a reliable secondary source. That and the other sources i have provided to the wiki page, should be enough to have this page published. I'm getting a little discouraged i must say as finding sources to create new wiki pages, is proving to be quite difficult. thanks.. MusicbloggerMusicblogger2015 (talk) 20:30, 2 December 2015 (UTC) It's so much easier to write articles about subjects that are actually supported by secondary sources as opposed to writing about something or someone and scraping the lower pits of the world wide web for brief mentions in trying to make the subject look notable. If I could find any sources about Draft:DJ Revitalise worth adding, I would have added them. As for reliability of sources please refer to Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Sam Sailor Talk! 22:22, 2 December 2015 (UTC) Hi sam yes i understand, I have referred to the pages on guidelines for sources. I understand i may be starting with a slightly hard article. But thats the point, i wanted to write about music artists, that don't already exist. Anyways back the this article, you previously mentioned before the other sources i have provided may actually be sufficient, and may pass. And now i have found a new sources this magazine article. After now providing you the author information which i found in the magazine. Do you think we can get this page to pass now? thanks Music bloggerMusicblogger2015 (talk) 11:30, 3 December 2015 (UTC) I have never said the sources provided were sufficient. Rather contrary, I have tried to say in several different polite ways that the sourcing is very far from showing any degree of notability. If at this point better sources can not be found, give it up. He may become notable in the future, who knows. But there's nothing to build an article on now. Sam Sailor Talk! 11:51, 3 December 2015 (UTC) Hi sam, Ah but you did say that tho that it may pass, but you were urging me to find stronger leads still It's been a couple of months since we have been talking about this. And the other talk about this has been removed from your page. so i cant refer back to it. If you review the whole wiki article again maybe it will refresh your memory. You mentioned before about the date of birth and several other websites i had used for sources. And i had found the date of birth. I understand you want the best possible sources before you can approve a page. And as for this latest interview, i thought for sure it would be sufficient secondary source. It's a UK based online magazine which is in print also. Check out their webpage if you haven't yet please. I have provided 10 sources for this wiki page. If you still don't think it's sufficient, ill keep on the hunt. Or give up with the page as you suggest. Music BloggerMusicblogger2015 (talk) 13:34, 3 December 2015 (UTC) Hi sam, i contacted Ruby Kutowaroo at 'Audiation magaine about this article and this is their response to my questions. "To clarify the article in the magazine is an Introducing section not an interview. The first paragraph is written by myself as an introductory to DJ Revitalise, and the following are statements in first person of which I arranged with him on what to discuss. Also to note, the magazine is distributed across 36 major stores including Nook, IBooks and Issuu. Full company information can be found through our website www.audiationmagazine.com Full distribution lists: www.audiationmagazine.com/distributors" Hope this helps to provide this as an adequate source now. Music BloggerMusicblogger2015 (talk) 22:11, 9 December 2015 (UTC) Hi again. My suggestion is that you take further questions regarding Draft:DJ Revitalise to WP:AFCHD where you can get input from other regular editors. Thanks, Sam Sailor Talk! 22:17, 9 December 2015 (UTC) Review draft? Hi Sam, You've reviewed articles I've submitted in the past, like the one for Luminoso created by User: Edsussman, an alternate account. I've just done a new draft for the article AlienVault which is currently just a stub and also has two flags that seem justified. Here's my new draft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BC1278/subpage2 I think it's very significantly improved -- I've tried my best to abide by all Wikipedia policies, e.g. reliable sources,, neutral language, verifiability, et.. But I have a COI here, so can't make direct edits as per WP:COI I wonder if you would review it and make live any changes you think are worthwhile? It's an interesting and important company -- they run the largest open source project for tracking computer threats (viruses, malware, etc.) and they've raised $116 million. Best, EdBC1278 (talk) 21:27, 2 December 2015 (UTC)BC1278 @BC1278: Hi Ed. Thanks for your confidence. I'll pass on this one. I suppose you are already aware of WP:COIREQ, right? Sam Sailor Talk! 22:14, 2 December 2015 (UTC) Unfortunately, the request edit board has completely broken down. There are requests for edits still pending from May and June of last year. This is actually really bad news for those trying to make the new COI disclosure and direct editing policies work. It's nearly impossible to convince a company that has a valid edit to wait six months for a review when one of their employees can make the change from home the same day. In short, lots of editors love searching for editors who violate COI rules; almost none will regularly work with COI editors who follow the rules (e.g. by keeping the request edit board as active as AfC board). If admins and editors who police COI recognized the latter as a serious problem, undisclosed direct edit COI issues would dramatically decline. Since WP:COI lists other options for finding an interested editor to do a review, such as going to related Wikipedia articles to find editors, that's the only practical way to live within the rules.BC1278 (talk) 16:28, 3 December 2015 (UTC)BC1278 i asked for help Hello.

I've submitted the page Draft:Zomba Prison Project for review. Is it correctly submitted in regards to using the {{AFC submission|T}} tag? I'm a little confused on the function of that. Also - I've been trying to figure out the 'Categories' section of pages. Does that need to be added for a page to be approved? Do you just create category names or find pre-existing categories from a list? Any help appreciated! Thanks! Sarahk.odo (talk) 07:00, 12 December 2015 (UTC) @Sarahk.odo: Thank you for your message. I fiddled a little with the draft, added an infobox and such, and moved it to main space, find it at Zomba Prison Project. I added the article to Category:Malawian music, but to answer your question, no, adding categories is not a prerequisite for approval. Categories is to me a dark-grey area where you try to guess what would be logical and sniff around and see in which categories other similar articles have been put. As far as I know, we do not have a really good script for helping with this task. But other editors with better ideas will sooner or later pass by and maybe add a cat or two. So, how do you think it looks? Anything else I can do? Sam Sailor Talk! 12:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC) Looks great! Love the info box. Thanks Sam! Yeah I was finding it difficult to find a solid script to advise on categories, but thanks for the info there. I'm excited to try to contribute more pages on African content. Your help is much appreciated.Sarahk.odo (talk) 17:21, 12 December 2015 (UTC) @Sarahk.odo: I'm always happy to help, let me know if there is something you need. Have a wonderful weekend, Sam Sailor Talk! 17:36, 12 December 2015 (UTC) Hi there Sam, I've got another question I could use your help on. I've been trying to add a field to the infobox on the Zomba Prison Project page. Is it possible to add fields to the infobox just by typing that in? I've been trying but the changes are not reflected in the page. I'd like to add 'Executive Producers' in addition to the already existing 'Producer' field. Would love any direction/insights on infobox formatting - much thanks!

The following has been added "Nicholas Reedy has worked for Xodus USA as the President, and Xodus Magazine as the Publisher for the life of both organizations." Hopefully this will help with any conflicting interest questions as outlined in the rules. Additionally, I have gone through and edited any language that may in any way sound self promoting. Next, Today and yesterday I went through every line and link with the moderators in chat to make sure each was appropriate. I have removed some (Please let me know if any need to be added back in) and also removed several since it was fairly redundant. Please let me know if there is anything further that needs to be changed. Thank you, Nicholas Reedy G13 Eligibility Notice The following pages have become eligible for CSD:G13.
