I think the article is not on a deletion list but someone has more or less pulled every thin from it so it is a skeleton.

You are very kind yes I have taken it personally as I am so new and I put in complete citations inc isbn and publisher etc of everything. Youtube link to the bbc which had researchers to check all facts. I detailed every book he has been in. so I am not sure why these citations were not looked at there were four, but prob not correctly put in. Anyway I will take your kind valuable advice and hope maybe someone will help create a better article but I have a feeling it will be forgotten which would be a shame as I try and use it to tell people crime does not pay. I had an awful childhood, always on the run and then stuck in boarding school so I never glamourise crime. But here I am moaning, forgive me and thank you again for your hopeful words to me kareenza[[User:Kareenza|Kareenza]] ([[User talk:Kareenza|talk]]) 18:59, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Q on reference source language

07:53:55, 14 November 2017 review of submission by FriendlyB


Dear Thereodislong,

thank you for reviewing the draft "Dr. Petry Textile Auxiliaries".

For the sources, I cited independent sources, such as - http://www.genios.de/fachzeitschriften/artikel/MTB/20080617/umweltschutz-und-nachhaltigkeit-in-/060817061.html - https://www.biooekonomie-bw.de/de/fachbeitrag/aktuell/insektenchitin-macht-textilherstellung-nachhaltiger/

In order to have more evidence, I added information from further independent sources and references: - https://www.bloomberg.com/profiles/companies/6311207Z:GR-textilchemie-dr-petry-gmbh - https://www.bluesign.com/industry/chemical-suppliers/references/textilchemie-dr-petry

Thank you in advance for re-reviewing.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your assistance with Draft:InnoCare. I have included

and noted it on your user page that I work for that company. They're not paying me to create this page, I just think it would cool to have a Wikipedia page. Let me know if there's anything else you can suggest to improve my draft. I appreciate your help!

Hi there, thank very much for your care and consideration to to help build this page. I can understand why the review was rejected, as i hadn't cited enough sources on the first draft. I was wondering if you'd mind having a read over the latest draft and checking if it is better now thank you. SP

21:10:13, 6 December 2017 review of submission by Innocent Cuty


Dear Theroadislong

Hope you are fine and doing good.

I am requesting for a review again as the major comment for rejection/decline of this article was its Reference section or having less references. Now, the draft has been updated, and more than 20 solid references have been employed, with more historical details, and best possible bibliographic support in the light of the available literature. This single page article is now having over 25 appropriate references, and are strengthened with new data.

Your anticipation in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Sincere Regards

Dear Theroadislong

Thank you very much for your prompt response.

The objected references (facebook) has been udpated with the departmental URLS (links to the webpages). I think, these were the most up to dated and regularly updating references. Moreover, the last paragraph was deleted, because the book describing the paragraph and the mentioned material is in press (which is written by Dr. Ikram), and once the book got published, the three to four lines paragraph will be inserted again.

I do hope, that the draft will get approved now and will get online, as after coming across other such articles, this one seems to be far better than those.

Your prompt and positive anticipation in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanking you in anticipation

Sincere Regards

The page exists in 3 other Wikipedia: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Russell https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Russell https://sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Russell

In-depth coverage

I added RPG Site. Is that a reliable source?

Hi Theroadislong! I have recently uploaded a draft of the article "Admitad" here and you have declined it. Could you kindly explain what can I do to make it right? Is it possible to work with you as my mentor on the draft? Or, maybe, you can help with writing, could you kindly tell me what is the best option? admitad is a global company, it already helps over 630,000 people worldwide. I believe, that it needs to be on Wikipedia.

Request on 11:54:04, 23 April 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by MikeWilkins


After receiving good advice from Wikipedia editors in the tea house I have been informed that scanned historical documents (1830 to 1850) are not a reliable source of information. I scanned the documents then placed them into my blog page on my website. 

I have been requested or encouraged to represent the information, which I am happy to do once I have worked out the best method. After consideration, I have crossed referenced the points of interest or concern into direct internet links into different websites confirming all the points of interest.

I am thinking of editing slowly the articles which clearly need additional information, facts, and clarification. Perhaps I can present a small edit point into this tea room or some other place so that it can be reviewed by experienced editors before I present it to the Wikipedia page? I am not a one-legged pony, only interested in one article. I have a lot of information which will improve many articles in Wikipedia. Thanking you in advance.

Deletion of Meridian (private aviation company) Submission

Good Afternoon,

As it appears that our submission does not meet your criteria, we feel it would best serve both parties if we deleted this current submission. Unfortunately, we were unaware of several policies that Wikipedia has regarding the submission of its pages. With that said, it would be greatly appreciated if you could guide us in the deletion of the proposed page. Your help has been greatly appreciated and we hope that one day a page for Meridian will be created properly.

Thank You! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meridianteb (talk • contribs) 18:26, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The simplest way I think, is for you to blank the page (remove all content) this will trigger a delete request. Theroadislong (talk) 18:38, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest on the William Branham page?

@Theroadislong: I understand why I am listed as having a conflict of interest on the William Branham talk page, however, what are your justifications for listing User:Eforsund there? Does single-issue editing always result in a conflict of interest statement according to Wiki standards? I think the COI statement should be removed, or you should add a whole lot more editors to that list. I'm sure your intention was not to be biased, but your addition, or lack of additions, seems biased to me. DEvans (talk) 22:05, 23 April 2018 (UTC) *I work for William Branham Ministries[reply]

Is this the right place to communicate?

Hi T, is this the right place to reach you? As you have seen my post, and I do appreciate your fast reply.

I speak English, but it feels as if I am attempting to speak in a completely foreign language using the WIKI site and I have done computer programming since the 1970s.

As you saw, I had what I believed to be a well-written profile for Ryan Christopher Mouritsen and as you already know it was not approved, but I believe it was over the scripting methods.

I found other approved pages, then COPY/PASTED the content (scripting) that worked on those pages and updated things for Ryan's profile.

Right now, I am about to leave the house.

I still have no idea of who or whatever "Teahouse" might be and why I should talk to that person or group. It is all confusing.

In just a few minutes, I am leaving the house.

Do you have access to Ryan's profile? I would hate to have to restart all of what was never approved. Yes, I did SAVEAS copies of it just in case it got deleted, but that does not mean I have the last version of it either.

I had hoped folks would just say that I had errors or particular lines and then I correct those issues. That would have been helpful.

I visited your site in the past and never found where/how to communicate with you either. I could not see putting my notes at the bottom of huge/long pages would be purposeful either. This site seriously needs to just use EMAIL.

bye Brennan

This is the correct place to communicate with me, though your user page is equally correct. Your draft article Draft:Ryan Christopher Mouritsen was deleted by User:xaosflux after a deletion discussion here Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Ryan Christopher Mouritsen where it was described as “Hopelessly personal and informal”. Please see relevant guidelines at Wikipedia is not a memorial and WP:NOTCV which were both cited in the discussion. I am not an admin so I cannot view or restore the content that was deleted.

Leandro Soto Ortiz page

Hello, RIL, I have some comments/questions on your edits to Leandro Soto Ortiz. I'm a brand new user to Wikipedia, so please take that into account... :>)

"Biography: Wikipedia cannot reference itself" -- There is no Wikipedia reference in the biography. Do you mean in the introductory paragraph? This reference (to the Leandro Soto papers) was there before I started editing -- I only moved it up to the intro from the bio. Should I delete it altogether, and just have it in the external links? The only problem is, in the notes and references section, I somehow deleted the other three references -- if I delete that one item, there will be nothing left! I have been trying to get help from the Teahouse, but have been unsuccessful so far in restoring the other three... Can you help me? I don't see where my mistake is.

"Added

tag to article (TW)"; "external links now removed" -- I don't have to worry about this then, right?

"unsourced so removing" -- removing the Solo, Group and Awards -- I am working on it. But why did you remove Selected Collections? I spent half a day finding the links, which I included... I checked other Cuban artists in Wikipedia, and they seem to be the same as mine, (in Selected Collections). (Some of them even have references to the city rather than links to the collections!)

I'm working on "he was the first artist in his generation to work with the Afro-Cuban heritage."

Mal. Yahai (talk) 12:58, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Hello Theroadislong,

I hope this meets you well. Thank you for your review. I have since edited the draft after reading the Wikipedia Writing Guide for Academic Journals and the one on notability for academic journal. I learned from these sources that "As a rule of thumb, if a journal is indexed in selective bibliographic databases in its field, or has an impact factor, this will be enough to establish notability."

I have been able to reference the various databases where the journal in question is indexed with the links to these materials. I hope this will be enough, but I am open to further corrections.

Best regards,

Yahai

Mackinac College edits by Karin D. E. Everett

12:34, 19 March 2018‎ Theroadislong The following Wikipedia contributors may be personally or professionally connected to the subject of the article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view. Karin D. E. Everett 

    I am writing to you because you posted the warning above.  Please see my User Page which I recently created.  I am hoping that you will then remove the warning about me on the Mackinac College Talk page.

    I am also sending you this communication because I do not understand why you questioned (above) whether I am personally or professionally connected to my edits of the Mackinac College Wikipedia page.  You did this 14 minutes after John from Idegon reverted four short edits I made to the Mackinac College page; note that I have also sent a query to John from Idegon.  I want to assure you that I am neither personally nor professionally connected with the subject of Mackinac College, although I did attend and graduate from Mackinac College almost 50 years ago.  Having graduated from Mackinac College, I then attended and graduated from Columbia University, Michigan State University, Baylor College of Medicine, and the University of Tennessee Memphis.  My student relationship with Mackinac College was Academic.  I’ve had no contact with the college since it closed in 1970.  

    The poor quality of the Mackinac College Wikipedia page came to my attention years ago because I previously had an interest in the Up With People Wikipedia page--the Up With People musical show originated on the same campus that eventually became Mackinac College.  When I retired in 2011 from my 30-year career as a Research Scientist, I decided to (slowly) write a well-researched history of Mackinac College for its Wikipedia page.  To see my Mackinac College efforts in their entirety, look at the Mackinac College Talk page, Table of Contents No. 6.  I have gone out of my way to present a neutral point of view.  You should know that this effort is neither autobiographical nor about family, friends, clients, employers, financial matters, or other relationships.  Please also see the related Wikipedia pages which I wrote and posted in February 2014:  Mission Point (Mackinac Island) and Mackinac College (Humbard).

    Again, I’d appreciate if you would please remove the warning about me on the Mackinac College Talk page.Karin D. E. Everett (talk) 19:00, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

So I was working on this page of a company called Baseline Ventures India. When I submitted the first draft, I got feedback saying that it sounded more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia entry. So I reworked on the article in consultation with your team. And submitted the article. I have got the same feedback. I spoke to your team and worked on their feedback, I referred to other sports marketing companies like WMG, IMG, Gestifute for further references. I worked exactly on those lines. Yet it has got submitted whereas their articles with all mention of the kind of money they have made and business done appears on your website. I will await further feedback to understand why the article got rejected and how can I finally get this submitted.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback. No, I'm not being paid to do this and have no conflict of interest to declare. Just, it seems obvious to me - by the Google searches for 'Galsworthy wikipedia' and Wikipedia internal references, and by his 60k twitter followers and media appearances/references - that Galsworthy should have his own page. I'll find some more sources. Sorry - I'm learning with this! Caroline

Teahouse invites to WP:ORGNAME violators

First off, thanks for all the work you do reviewing AFC/draft material. I know it is a severely backlogged area and needs a all the help it can get.

That being said, I have noticed that quite often when reviewing reports at UAA, I find you have invited accounts with obvious username violations to the Teahouse, sometimes even names you have yourself reported for those violations. Does that not strike you as a bit inconsistent? Inviting them to discuss things while at the same time requesting they be blocked for obvious policy violations? It feels like a game of Good cop/bad cop only without an actual goal in mind. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:23, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand why you have knocked this back. All the information is factual and independently referenced. I copied the format of Microsoft and apple who have accepted entries. Your comments say the information should be independently referenced, which it is. I have written it as a 3rd party, it is not about me. Can you please provide more guidance and be specific.

Is the article now acceptable ? Mileslong123 (talk) 17:23, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly no I do not work for the company nor am I being paid by them. My Brother worked for them but left earlier this year, that is how I know the company and as they didn't have an entry thought it would be a good one to start my Wiki career. This company has been around since google started, they have a really interesting story and are a major player in their field. SO, your original issue was the article seemed to be biased and not independent enough, now it's the reference material that isn't independent enough or of good enough quality. So as I am independant and these are independent published articles from numerous different sources (books and magazine articles) I am at a loss as to what you consider a good enough source of reference. A person can not add an entry on a subject they know nothing about. Obviously. So for someone to be bothered enough to spend time doing an entry there has to be a passion for the subject. This passion can be found in many wiki articles. So based on this insight can you provide any constructive comments? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mileslong123 (talk • contribs) 07:49, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are wrong a person certainly can add an entry on something they know nothing about, anything you know about the company is irrelevant. Wikipedia has essentially no interest in what you or I have to say about the company. We only summarise what reliable, independent published sources have to say about a subject.
  • This [1] is a primary source.
  • This [2] is just a listing. Its an article, why are you saying this is a listing? It's a full chapter.
  • This [3] doesn't mention Symbiant. Yes it does on page 500
  • This [4] is just a listing again. A full chapter is not a listing. This is an article. from page 25 onwards.
  • This [5] is a good reference and we need more in-depth ones like this.

Hope this is useful you can ask for further help at the Teahouse. Theroadislong (talk) 08:35, 4 May 2018 (UTC) What is your definition of a listing ?[reply]

I have referenced a source as requested. Still not posting

Sir,

I have referenced a source as requested by you. My posting is still being taken down. Could you please tell me specifically what I am doing wrong so I can do research and or ask the correct questions in order to get it corrected. I am confused. Dewitt Travis (talk) 20:49, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks,

You have apparently uploaded documents to Google Drive to use as a source this is just not acceptable. See WP:RS for what constitutes a reliable source. Theroadislong (talk) 20:55, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable source I met criteria.

Sir,

That is what I thought. Please be advised that my source meets the criteria listed. It is a sworn statement, a deposition, taken by a former Dean of MUSC.

Wikipedia. ...Must be produced by a reliable third party and be properly cited. Additionally, an archived copy of the media must exist. It is convenient, but by no means necessary, for the archived copy to be accessible via the Internet.

A third party produced the deposition of the dean under oath. The third party is reliable and it is archived. The posting of the deposition and whom took it and where it is archived should meet all of the creitia of wikipedia. I made a statement and I am proving that it is correct, using the school's own words as the appropriate source.

Wikipedia

The reliability of a source depends on context. Each source must be carefully weighed to judge whether it is reliable for the statement being made in the Wikipedia article and is an appropriate source for that content. In general, the more people engaged in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the writing, the more reliable the publication.

My statement is 100 percent accurate. I am using the school's sworn statement as my source. To me it meet the criteria that the source must be reliable for the statement being made. I will try it again. I will document the third party who created the documents under oath. I will document where the document is archived. I will document the school official who made the remarks. I will provide a link to the actual document showing that is is a true reliable statement.

Please after I post it again do not take it down. I am meeting all of the requirements listed by wikipedia. I will have the location of where the document is and the third party who produced the document of my source under oath.

ThanksDewitt Travis (talk) 22:24, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Dewitt, you don't seem to understand what we mean by a reliable source. An article in the New York Times has been checked for accuracy, bias, etc. by editors, copy editors, and possibly fact-checkers. A deposition is one person's unsupported statement. The NYT article might be wrong; the deposition might be a pure jewel of clear truth. That does not matter when speaking in our collective voice. A statement tucked away in an archive somewhere does not constitute any form of published source, and certainly fails the language you quote about being subject to "more people engaged in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the writing". --Orange Mike | Talk 23:24, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Medical university of South Carolina

Sir,

I saw your edits. When I clicked it it did bring me to this page documented an English Wikipedia content guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions.

As you know I did use the sworn testimony from a dean at the medical university of South Carolina, which was recorded and archived by a third party whom I documented as my source and I also provided the sworn testimony to be viewed by all. It is not a published article in a book, but it does meet the overall purpose: Is the statement true and can it be backed up and verified by a reliable source.

I think this is an important edit on MUSC... The good and the bad. The school deprives students of their constitional rights before dismissing them by providing them no due process of law...Dewitt Travis (talk) 12:31, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What references would be best for my article

Thanks for reviewing my article - I see what you mean about my references. Most of my information has come from books on the subject and a few documents of demolition records. Is it worth putting these books (with page references) on my references or must I find actual websites and online evidence. I am fascinated by the peerage system in Britain and would find it very satisfying for Wikipedia to have a complete encyclopaedia of all the peerage titles, (even the slightly obscure and unimpressive ones such as the Earldom of Deheubarth) so would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me.

It was kind of you to let me know this is being discussed. I put up the page years ago. I recently came back to it to upload pictures. I wanted the page to say that crime does not pay. The page was edited by someone very kind. The photographs were deleted, that is fine. I am not amending or asking to add photos to this article anymore. I have a number of citations I have put in. I am so new to this that I am lost. I am so sorry to write to you but I cant understand why this is happening. I thought wiki was a family of kind people willing to help.

hello I think most of my article has been deleted now including the photograph. I dont understand why someone would be this cruel to do this. I cited everything and the original article has been online since 2011. I am new to wiki and some people just are not giving me a chance. I think the article is not on a deletion list but someone has more or less pulled every thin from it so it is a skeleton. Why would anyone do that, osh it is so upsetting and it is personal as someone obviously does not like me kareenzaKareenza (talk) 18:38, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE don't take this personally! All Wikipedia article require citations for ALL content that is included, the content as written was not correctly sourced but it can all be added back as long as there are suitable sources. I would strongly advice you not to edit it and trust the community to create a worthwhile article it will happen I assure you. Theroadislong (talk) 18:42, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are very kind yes I have taken it personally as I am so new and I put in complete citations inc isbn and publisher etc of everything. Youtube link to the bbc which had researchers to check all facts. I detailed every book he has been in. so I am not sure why these citations were not looked at there were four, but prob not correctly put in. Anyway I will take your kind valuable advice and hope maybe someone will help create a better article but I have a feeling it will be forgotten which would be a shame as I try and use it to tell people crime does not pay. I had an awful childhood, always on the run and then stuck in boarding school so I never glamourise crime.
