Requesting re-review of Draft of Oak & Cane (company). We referenced the layout and format of the Bacardi page. All information that was published was as neutral as one can get from an industry standpoint. Information posted was plain language and matter of fact. Please notate where edits need to be made so we can be informed on how to appropriately make edits. Instead of having to recreate from scratch can you please re instate Draft article. The purpose of Draft mode is to know how to accurately layout content suitable to community guidelines. Again please clarify which copy you saw as Advertising.

Greeneshadow, I'm afraid if you think your draft is anything like the Bacardi article you're delusional, to put it mildly very mistaken. I have no idea why you're fixated on "layout and format" when the problem is a total lack of worthwhile substance. Junk stays junk, no matter how prettily it is laid out. The Bacardi company is over 150 years old and has a well established worldwide reputation. More importantly, from the point of view of a Wikipedia article, people have written extensively about the Bacardi company, in a multitude of newspapers and even books. More than half of the Bacardi article is about the company's history, and it is well referenced from many solid sources. By comparison your draft is simply an advert for a wannabe company that is still wearing diapers. My sincere advice is to drop it, you're wasting not only your time, but also that of the reviewers who have to keep checking the hopeless draft. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:57, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Please do not call new editors "delusional" and their work "hopeless". This was a key reason why you had a small amount of opposition at the RfA, and I'd hate to see them being proved right :-( Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:15, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Point taken, thanks Ritchie333. Apologies to Greeneshadow, the draft is unfortunately highly promotional and the subject does not comply with the notability standard for companies. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:14, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Lt Col Wessels

Disagree. This is meant to be a list of Ocs. That why it says commander 1, Commander 2 etc etc. Col Wessels was also a victim of a crime at 1 sai which is historically significant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.113.27.66 (talk) 19:10, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Please see the documentation of Template:Infobox military unit, the commander fields are intended for current commanders only. However, there is another field "notable_commanders" for former commanders who are notable, meaning that a biographical article about them exist on WP. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:20, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

@Dodger67:Here go again, see latest at 1 SAI. Rollback once, now asked the editor to have commander moved to notable commander. Doubt he is still running the unit. Regards Paul. Conlinp (talk) 10:06, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Conlinp, I've fixed it. Though if they are really notable the links should be turned blue sooner rather than later. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:52, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Ding Han Liang's article

Hi, just want to enquire on my page Luxy (app). Just want to know is there any chance for me to resubmit my article for you guys to check again? Before that, I was't really sure about what you guys are looking for, so I keep making the same mistake without realising the main problem. Cause I've already change the whole format of the article and using more site citation that is more to what you guys suggested me to, like New York Times blog. I do hope that I still get the chance to submit it one more time. Thank you, hope to see your reply! --Dinghanliang (talk) 11:40, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Dinghanliang I'm afraid that might be rather difficult. Any new draft must properly address the problems that led to it being deleted. Repeatedly recreating the same promotional draft that also fails to demonstrate the subject's notability is not going to solve the issue. In my opinion the subject is simply not (yet) notable, perhaps in future it may gain some attention from independent commentators and critics, but that has apparently not happened yet. The sources cited in the deleted draft appear to be the product of PR and marketing writers rather than independent journalism. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:28, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

--Dinghanliang (talk) 08:29, 29 March 2017 (UTC)Hi, thanks for your message. The deleted page is still cited with the product of PR and marketing writer. What I'm saying is, previously I've been doing the editing not knowing what is the problem and I have been editing the content instead of the citation source. Now I now know the main problem is the citation source and have already edited a new version which included all citation with independent journalism, but I could't have the chance to resubmit to let you guys have a look. Hope this helps clear the confusion. Thank you!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited South African Republic, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ndebele language (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Administrators' newsletter – April 2017

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2017).

Administrator changes

TheDJ

Xnuala • CJ • Oldelpaso • Berean Hunter • Jimbo Wales • Andrew c • Karanacs • Modemac • Scott

Guideline and policy news

• Following a discussion on the backlog of unpatrolled files, consensus was found to create a new user right for autopatrolling file uploads. Implementation progress can be tracked on Phabricator.
• The BLPPROD grandfather clause, which stated that unreferenced biographies of living persons were only eligible for proposed deletion if they were created after March 18, 2010, has been removed following an RfC.
• An RfC has closed with consensus to allow proposed deletion of files. The implementation process is ongoing.
• After an unsuccessful proposal to automatically grant IP block exemption, consensus was found to relax the criteria for granting the user right from needing it to wanting it.

Technical news

• After a recent RfC, moved pages will soon be featured in a queue similar to Special:NewPagesFeed and require patrolling. Moves by administrators, page movers, and autopatrolled editors will be automatically marked as patrolled.
• Cookie blocks have been deployed. This extends the current autoblock system by setting a cookie for each block, which will then autoblock the user if they switch accounts, even under a new IP.

Laurie Buchanan

Hey Dodger -

I've accidentally moved the page "Laurie Buchanan" to totally the wrong place. It's now caught up in a redirect and a draft on my talk page and I can't seem to revert it which is incredibly annoying. Your help would be much appreciated in either moving it back to where it belongs on my user page or directly uploading to the Wikipedia mainspace it's self. The article is complete and ready for publishing, I just got rather tired and messed up! Oops! JermainRobson (talk) 18:52, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

JermainRobson, I think I've managed to move everything back to where it should be. Primefac (talk) 20:11, 2 April 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

Draft:Mauro Mori

I saw you had marked Draft:Mauro Mori as under review a while ago. Just a friendly reminder :) Primefac (talk) 16:04, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Posted back

It seems you may have already established an opinion but I will give it go here with some more information. The two cornerstone patents discussed as evidence of the origination of the truly disonnected driver's license were granted 2015 and 2016 are notable and have changed the landscape of identity like we have never envisioned before. The up coming One World Identity Washington DC May 2017 Conference has made IBM the key note speaker due to this disuptive technology of which I created and worked on for three years. You cannot buy the key note speaker role as One World Identity must be neutral as the leader in disseminating information. I certainly get an email from them for you if you wish. In One World Identity's own words “This is truly is changing the Identity landscape and is the only real solution they have seen to date”. At this conference we will present a live deployed working model with the audience. For the Wiki I haved edited the personal interest and will remove the career section which simply leaves the intro and the two facts of the patents. Like I said I simply took an example which was not a very good one to derive a new wiki. I also mentioned I want to include in the web page a pictured discussion of how the disconnected model works but have not done that as I cannot upload pictures (yet). One fact though is that over 100M people in the USA will be using my algorithm and already 100s of millions of people around the world use my chat patent seamlessly of which I am the lead inventor unlike others documented as co-inventor.

The Wiki math discussion is made quite elegant and easy to read. So let me know. This is epic and no more plastic cards for anything required. Imagine you can have your fishing/hunting license on your phone and be in the middle of no where for a phone connection and still prove your license. You have total control of your privacy to hand out to verifiers asking for context information such as a bartender.

Give the article a read the Math section which has an example. I have removed the career and the personal interests. I used Wiki Jerry Cuomo as a template of which seems to break all sorts of Wiki rules. Mine is directed toward who created the Digital Driver's License and why (how does it work).

have a great day
