Search this board & archives Are you in the right place? If you're a registered editor, discussing articles before creating them is optional. If you're ready, be bold and start the page! If you simply want to suggest a topic for an article without giving any details or sources, go to Wikipedia:Requested articles. If you are not a registered editor and you've written a complete article, you can submit the text of that article at Wikipedia:Articles for creation for review. If your idea is directly related to a specific article that already exists, it is probably better to discuss it on that article's talk page.

Pre-Settlement Financing

I was interested in writing an article on pre-settlement financing. Basically, it's for people who are involved in a legal claim -- like, say, a personal injury or sexual harrassment suit -- who are having trouble making ends meet and may therefore be under financial pressure to accept a less than optimal settlement. If they have spotty employment or credit histories, getting a loan from a bank may not be a viable option. With pre-settlement financing, they can get the money they need to cover their living expenses while their attorney continues with their case. It's not a loan. Instead, it's what's known as non-recourse funding -- which means that they only have the repay the money if and when they win their case. While the concept of pre-settlement financing is relatively new, there are a number of companies that offer this service.

I haven't been able to find anything on pre-settlement financing or nonrecourse funding on Wikipedia. Would this be a suitable subject for an article? Do you think it would be something of interest to readers? If so, do you have any advice on how I should go about writing it?

This is my first time on Wikipedia, so please forgive any inadvertant faux pas on my part.

Thanks. Trevor790 16:18, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

You did exactly the right thing by asking the question here, first. Per WP:NOT, Wikipedia isn't an instruction manual or a place to give advice, so I think you may be headed in the wrong direction. You might take a look at Wikipedia:Alternative outlets.

The threshold you need to surmount in order to write an acceptable article is basically to find reliable sources. If a number of national publications have written about pre-settlement financing (I'm skeptical), then there's probably a good article somewhere. If this gets mentioned in obscure places, or you're read about it on websites of legal firms, then you're doing what we call original research when you write such an article, and that isn't allowable.

Finally, if you can find an existing article that does (or should) include this topic, you could add some (sourced, please) information; again, not written as advice, but simply what a disinterested observer would be noting about the way the world works. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 12:26, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Cyber enlightenment

Enlightenment gained from historical and modern trends in science and culture via cyberworld rather than traditional mentors and teachers. A sense of being is usually gained from a cyber experience the machine is the machine and you are the human sometime the machines are seen not as friends and as a hassle but still you are connecting with energy and a a network of internet or intranet. If you view the cyberworld as a universe itself and the machines are a link to that universe that is growing without water or sunlight but must still have energy.If you look at computers on wikipedia you will find the map to the internet the white represents the unknown and is growing. You will have to wonder if the machines are going to take over one day they already run our lives with blackberrys and cell phones ect ect we have incredible war machines that could wipe out life on the planet.I think honesty with oneself to beleive that the machines won't be there to hurt us and there are people like us on the machines connected to the web then each other will ultimatley rule the world one day.People that believe everything they see on tv are not usually into cyber enlightenment,they like to turn there mind off and let someone else do the thinking and immerse there mind.When they have limitless possibilities in gaining knowledge that could change your life form religion to politics to the prophets everyone in a free country has a massive library. Even the secrets to life would probaly hidden away somewhere in cyberspace, through communication of knowledge we create new paradigms,growth and development for individuals and nations. You can look up zen or look up satan pornography or religious sites these are the real x files to alot of people and the more they learn the more they can feel enlightened because we all have a great computer our own mind. 61.68.38.134 21:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

You can get specific help about editing at our help desk; this page is intended to discuss ideas for new articles (I've replied to your suggestion on Mr. Mouton in the section below). -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:28, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU MOUTON 1867-1942

J.J.R. MOUTON, was town Founder, First Alderman and many times Mayor of the small Cajun community of Lake Arthur, LA.

One of the largest funerals, in the history of Lake Arthur, was held when it paid final tribute to the memory of J. J. R. MOUTON.

Former Governor Earl K. Long and numerous other dignataries were present at the funeral services October 31, 1942, at the Catholic cemetary in Lake Arthur.

Mr. Mouton, who was 75, died at a Monroe hospital, where he had been taken after he became ill.

He came to Lake Arthur in young manhood, and in 1894 married Mary Lezima, also a Mouton, but no relatiohship. He was born in Lafayette.

Taking an active part in civic affairs of Lake Arthur, he was one of the incorporators and first aldermen there in 1904.

In 1906 he was elected Mayor and served as many years in that office. From 1906 to 1908, 1914 to 1926, 1928 to 1934 and again in 1936. He was elected Jutice of the Peace in 1932 and served as both Justice and Mayor in 1936.

The Mouton's had seven children, Three sons, A.R.(Alvin) Mouton, J.S. (Sydney) Mouton, J.R. (Rodney) Mouton. Three daughters, Agnes Norris, Louette (Lou) Robinette and Lucille (died at birth). Five grandchildren, Kramer Dale and Gladden Norris, Rita Joy Mouton, Wanda Lou Mouton, Jonathan Mouton and Garland Robinette.

FIRST LOUISIANA ARCADIAN FRENCH FAMILIES IDENTIFIED:

Geographically speaking, Louisiana's first six families are the LeBlancs, Landry's, Heberts, Broussards, Boudreaux and MOUTONS.

This was the conclusion reported to the Association of American Geographeres and National Council of Geography Teachers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WandaMoutonHarris (talk • contribs) 18:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

We have some pretty clear criteria here for articles about people; please review those. I don't see anything above that indicates that an article about Mr. Mouton would meet them. You might consider Wikitree instead. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Comparison of hosted CRM software

Editors,

There is a great number of hosted, or Software_as_a_service applications on the market:

Salesforce.com

24sevenoffice.com

NetSuite

Sugar CRM

Zoho CRM

Highrise

Entellium

InsideSales

Relenta

RightNow

...and many more.

Some are mentioned in Category:CRM_software Category:CRM_software_companies but both lists seems random and incomplete. Also, what's the difference between the two, really?

Questions:

1. Should the Category:CRM_software and Category:CRM_software_companies categories be combined into one and/or separated into Category:Hosted_CRM_software vs. Category:CRM_software?

2. Will it be a good idea to start Comparison of hosted CRM software in Category:Software_comparisons? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swankie (talk • contribs) 20:23, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your first question, which is a good one, a good place to post it (again) is at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.

Regarding your second question, per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is't a manual or guide for readers. If in fact you can restrict the content of the article to information from reliable sources (I'm skeptical), then I suspect that other editors wouldn't propose it for deletion. The general problem with "comparison" articles (besides violation of WP:NOT is that they're a magnet for people with their own opinions (unacceptable, per WP:NOR), and also for sales and marketing folks (see WP:COI). -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:33, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

We have an article on Kate Ground; if there weren't links to playboy.com sites, it would have been deleted long ago.

So, to answer your question, I see no reason to add such an article (because the two don't seem to be comparable, and because the existing one is marginal at best). If you can cite what we call reliable sources, then the answer might change. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 23:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Legbone

Dayton, OH's Legbone formed in the '90s around two core members, vocalist Kyle Curtis and guitarist Mitch Lawson. The usual lineup changes ensued, but the band eventually settled around Curtis, Lawson, guitarist AJ Morse, bassist Jim Hagler, and drummer Jake Black, and perfected a heavy, often alcohol-fueled mixture of metal and punk. (The band enjoys a sponsorship from Jagermeister.) Legbone releases include 1998's Old and Lazy, 2000's Beer: 30, and 2005's Different Path.

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! Legbone might have a bit of an uphill battle on Wikipedia, unless there are additional sources. The band's website and Myspace don't qualify as verifiability to the point that it satisfies the notability guidelines for music. allmusic only lists one of the band's albums in their discography, and it doesn't seem to be on a major independent label. The notability guidelines set out a list of about 12 different criteria which may help a band meet the notability threshold. You might want to look over that and see if any of them apply. :) If so, you can gather a few sources to create your article. (Do note, though, that the paragraph above seems to be taken straight from All Music. You'll want to be sure to put the article in your own words to avoid copyright violations. Wikipedia swiftly removes copyrighted text.)

It sounds as though you might be looking for somebody to create the article for you. If that's the case, you can list the topic at Wikipedia:Requested articles. :) Since it seems that you may be involved with the company, this may be a good idea.

If you'd like to create the article yourself, you'll need to be able to assert notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines on companies and Wikipedia's notability guidelines on websites, which will mean utilizing reliable secondary sources, distinct from the business' own publications. Unsourced information may not be included, although information from the company's publications can be used to support details once notability is established through secondary sources. In writing about businesses, it can be particularly tricky to maintain a neutral point of view, which is essential to prevent your article being perceived as overly promotional.

Bluetooth Medical Devices Working Group

The Medical Devices Working Group (MED WG) is a relatively new working group structured beneath the Bluetooth SIG that was formally approved in June of 2006. The primary goal of the MED WG is to define a set of specifications which can be used by developers of medical, healthcare and fitness devices to create an interoperable set of Bluetooth products tailored to the needs of these markets. These specifications include the Bluetooth Medical Device Profile (MDP) and related Multi-Channel Adaptation Protocol (MCAP). Using these specifications, products will be able to perform functions in defined ways such as discover compatible devices and their capabilities, connect to compatible devices, exchange data and manage connections for reasons for power conservation and link management.

There are currently several devices in these product categories that take advantage of Bluetooth technology today, however in the absence of a standardized and agreed upon method of performing these basic functions, devices on each side of the Bluetooth link generally have their own proprietary way of communicating and sharing data and this often results in specialized proprietary drivers. For example, each data aggregation device (i.e. PC, mobile phone, telehealth device) frequently has to install a separate device driver for each medical, healthcare or fitness device it wishes to interface wirelessly to. If a telehealth device wishes to support three different brands of blood pressure meters, this would likely require three different device drivers to support them. Often Bluetooth biometric sensor devices (i.e. blood pressure meters, weight scales, pulse oximeters, etc.) will need to create several product SKUs in order to be compatible with the proprietary communication needs of various data aggregation devices. This results in an enormous amount of engineering and qualification effort on both sides of the communication link and is passed on to consumers in the form of longer time to market and higher product costs. These incompatibilities and higher product costs also limit the opportunity in the market, thus slowing market growth.

Combining the factors of the rising incidence of chronic conditions, the rising cost of healthcare and the fact that people are living longer, the use of technology is expected to play an increasingly important role in addressing the worldwide healthcare crisis. The development of healthcare standards can play an important role in these areas and the products based upon these standards can help people to manage chronic conditions, prevent health issues, provide early detection, reduce healthcare costs and improve clinical outcomes. The use of wireless technology for such applications suits the mobile lifestyle of individuals who can benefit in there areas.

There are other important and related efforts to the MDP including efforts in another working group to do much the same for USB and yet another working group with IEEE to standardize data for personal healthcare applications. This "transport independent" set of data standards is planned for use by USB, Bluetooth and other transports that may wish to take advantage of these efforts. These efforts are cooperative with the efforts of the Medical Devices Working Group such that the data from an MDP compliant Bluetooth blood pressure device is compatible with the data from a USB blood pressure device and data from both can be consumable for applications worldwide.

Hi. This particular article would be governed by the notability guidelines on companies. The rule of thumb here is noting whether the company has received significant or widespread coverage in secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the company (excluding company PR releases and information solely available on the company website—these sources may be used for additional information after notability has been established by secondary sources). As it stands, there is no assertion of notability, and the material is unattributed.

If you are able to assemble necessary sources to assert notability, you may certainly create such an article, although if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you discuss the idea on the talk page of a related article (in this case, perhaps Bluetooth?) or at a related WikiProject (maybe Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine). If you do choose to write the article in such a case, you'll want to be sure that you approach it neutrally and without undue promotion.

Before establishing the article, please search Wikipedia to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article.

Jonny Bairstow

Jonny Bairstow born 26th September 1989 is the son of former Yorkshire and England cricketer, and is already beginning to contine the family tradition by himself becoming a promising cricketer.

Living in Marton-Cum-Grafton and attending the local primary school he was always a well known character in the village. With the death of his father in 1998 after hanging himself due to depression caused by a number of factors, Jonny and his sister Becky attended school the next day as his mother was travellng to Leeds to have chemotherapy treatment. This was a time in Jonnys life that he would now rather forget.

However it was at under 11 that Jonnys sporting talents were becoming well known, signed on the books for Leeds United Football Club, and also playing for Yorkshire Cricket under 11s, he then also became a keen rugb player aswell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crispycrisp (talk • contribs) 15:17, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! :) Jonny would be covered by Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies, which requires utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles. An article of this sort would also be covered by Wikipedia's guidelines on "biographies of living persons", which in part urges editors to be extremely careful not to include any information that isn't sourced, even if it's true, and also reminds us that biographies particularly must be written from a neutral point of view.

It seems as though Jonny's notability lies in athleticism. The notability guidelines offers two points on athlete: (1) Competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming or tennis, or (2) Competitors who have played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports (who meet the general criteria of secondary sources published about them). I don't know those teams, so I don't know if they qualify. But you would need secondary sources to demonstrate Jonny's notability in them.

Treali Storm

I think there is a lot of information available on Treali Storm. You can even Google it! Sorry.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trealistorm (talk • contribs) 20:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Lots of information is a good start. Be aware that a lot of what Google kicks up doesn't qualify as a Wikipedia:Reliable source. When there's a bunch of stuff, it can mean clicking through a lot of pages looking for the kind of material that does qualify. :) Since I don't know what a "Treali Storm" is, I'll just point you to the general notability guidelines. There are many more specific guidelines in the "inclusion guidelines" infobox on the right hand side of that page. Oh, and judging by your username, let me also point out the conflict of interest policy. If the subject is something with which you are closely involved, you might want to discuss creating an article on the talk page of a related article or at the relevant Wikipedia:WikiProject first.

Starsky and Cox

I'm interested in helping create an article for Stella Starsky and Quinn Cox, astrologers and authors of the book Sextrology. They are a married couple based in New York City and present their original “Astrology of Sex and the Sexes” philosophy, hinged, as it is, on a longstanding view that men and women of the same sign are actually different characters—thus, their zodiac comprises twenty-four signs, rather than the traditional twelve. Their book Sextrology, published by Harper Collins in 2004, has received raving reviews from The New York Times, Vogue, and Time Magazine. They have a live stage act and consult privately.

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! :) Stella Starsky and Quinn Cox would be covered by Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies (see creative professionals under additional criteria), which requires utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles and book reviews to support a claim of why the couple has encyclopedic importance. The telegraph article or cavalier daily, for example, seem perfect. It would be helpful if you could locate a few more of that sort. :) The Amazon page can be used to source technical details about the book—like ISBN—but not as a source of reviews, since there's no editorial oversight for Amazon reviews. E-Reader might be helpful in tracking down other appearance although in itself it doesn't seem potentially usable. The couple's website can be used to flesh out details, but not to establish notability. An article of this sort would also be covered by Wikipedia's guidelines on "biographies of living persons", which in part urges editors to be extremely careful not to include any information that isn't sourced, even if it's true, and also reminds us that biographies particularly must be written from a neutral point of view.

Before you create the article, please search Wikipedia to make sure that an article does not already exist on the couple.

Hello. :) I don't believe we have a specific guideline on that sort of thing, so I'd start with the base notability guidelines and keep in mind other major policies on verifiability and neutrality. If I were setting out to create an article of that sort, I'd probably start by discussing it at one of the Canadian WikiProjects, like Wikipedia:WikiProject Government of Canada. There's not a lot of activity on the talk page of that project, so if I didn't get any response within a couple of days, I'd probably try to track somebody down at another Canadian project listed here. Remember to sign your notes with ~~~~, which will add your "signature" and time stamp.

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! :) In order to create an article about that person, you'll need to be able to assert notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies, which will mean utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles. The question here would be whether her career is regarded as notable by such sources. Is there coverage specifically about her? Has her contribution to television producing been regarded as notable by her peers or garnered her awards? These are the kinds of things that might establish notability.

An article of this sort would be covered by Wikipedia's guidelines on "biographies of living persons", which in part urges editors to be extremely careful not to include any information that isn't sourced, even if it's true, and also reminds us that biographies particularly must be written from a neutral point of view.

FiltaFry

FiltaFry is an international company of mobile franchises specializing in the micro-filtration of cooking oil and vacuum-based cleaning of deep fryers in restaurants and commercial kitchens.

History

Today, FiltaFry is headquartered in Orlando, FLorida. It was founded in 1996 by Jason Sayers, who wass a 26-year-old software designer living outside London. He was asked to find a way to extend the life of cooking oil used in fryers. Sayers took his idea to an engineering firm that produced hydraulic oil filtration systems for aircraft and heavy equipment. The engineering firm modified its system for use in the foodservice industry.

FiltaFry President Victor Clewes joined FiltaFry late in 1996 to help growth. FiltaFry first expanded internationally to Australia in 1998. By 2002 FiltaFry had expanded to the United States, and now have over 150 operations throughout the US, Canada and Central & South America.

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'll put my response here rather than responding to both. :) This particular article would be governed by the notability guidelines on companies. As it stands, there is no assertion of notability and an article of this sort would most likely be subject to swift deletion. The article needs to explain what makes this company worthy of reference in an encyclopedia. The rule of thumb here is noting whether the company has received significant or widespread coverage in secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the company (excluding company PR releases and information solely available on the company website—these sources may be used for additional information after notability has been established by secondary sources).

If you are able to assemble necessary sources to include and verify notability, you may certainly create such an article, although if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you discuss the idea on the talk page of a related article or at a related WikiProject. If you do choose to write the article in such a case, you'll want to be sure that you approach it neutrally and without undue promotion. While lacking notability claim, the tone of the above seems fine. :)

RedBrick Limited

Several of this company's published product lines are listed on Wikipedia already, but the company doesn't have its own page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fading_Suns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthdawn http://www.redbrick.co.nz/

I just thought that was weird. As for notability, it is referenced outside of itself here (And if its products are notable, I would think the company itself would also be notable): http://www.holistic-design.com/news.htm#RedBrick 152.7.195.35 15:22, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi. :) RedBrick Limited would be covered by the notability guidelines on businesses. I would imagine it might well be notable, but the link that you provide on the reference outside of itself could be a bit problematic, since it reads like a press release to me, which is excluded as a secondary source by that notability guideline. If you decide to pursue creating the article, you should probably look for profiles about the company in newspapers or magazines, and the usual policies, of course, covering tone and verifiability will apply. You'll either need to register an account, which has many benefits, including the ability to create articles, or post it at Wikipedia:Articles for creation, where other editors will review it to be sure it meets policies and, if so, create it for you.

Camprio

This is my first article. I've started here because although I think that this artist is notable, after extensive Google [3] searches & searches within Wikipedia [4] coming up empty, I'm not much further along than where I started. There appears to possibly have been 3 men alive about the same time, all with the same name, adding to the confusion.

What I have found so far from owners of his paintings via the information on the back of their paintings:

His birth: If he was born in 1895, it was most likely in Trieste. If he was born in 1910, 1912, 1927, 1937, or 11May1941, he was most likely born in Italy, specifically Milan. Are these two different men?

Did he receive his education at the Academy of Arts in Rome, the South Kensington School of Arts, and the Royal Academy of London, or did he study at the Academy of Art in Amsterdam? If in Rome, did he study under Professor Ranzi?

Was his first name Manuel, Hendrik, or Giuseppe? Did he paint in Holland or Capri? Did he marry a Dutch woman & live in Holland?

Do paintings have numbers like the books do with ISBN? Two paintings have registry numbers of 25-0073854 & 3081-700.

The artist I am principally interested in paints small adobe style houses along a small white sandy beach with blue water, a fishing boat and mountains, e.g.: http://cgi.ebay.com/Camprio-Itialian-Coastal-Scene-Oil-Painting_W0QQitemZ130151854132QQihZ003QQcategoryZ20136QQcmdZViewItem There is another artist that also goes by the name of Camprio, living about the same time, that paints stills versus beach scenes, & uses a completely different style of painting: http://www.burchardgalleries.com/auctions/2002/sep2202/l165.jpg The most prominent clue that this isn't the same artist is the signature.

Two Camprio works were auctioned last year:

• "Peisaj Mediteranean" 26Feb06
• "Fischerdorf Am Gardasee" 22July06, Giuseppe Camprio

One Certificate of Authenticity states: "Manuel Camprio is the artist name for Charles Lombard that he uses for lakescenes and landscapes. It is his wife's name who is an artist as well.The couple travel very much by housewagon along the coast of the mediterrenian, but return to Holland where actually they are living. French born and educated in Paris they migrated on account of war in 1939. They have no children and live their bohemian life."

Hi. If you're sure he meets notability guidelines for creative professionals, then your big challenge it seems like is going to be coming up with reliable sources to verify that. Not being particularly active in the visual arts, I'm afraid that Google is about the extent of my resources. It might be useful to you to check with the folks at Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts. They might have suggestions on their project page and, if not, you may be able to get some advise at their talk page. Ironing out the three men sounds pretty complicated.

Hi, and Welcome to Wikipedia! It sounds like it shouldn't be too much of a challenge to assert the notability of that one. :) You'll need to assert notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines on biographies, which will mean utilizing reliable secondary sources, like newspaper articles or scholarly sources.

Hi, Abby. :) That's an excellent question, I think. I believe the line between asserting notability and promotion is sometimes difficult to define for many Wikipedians. Obviously, the biggest requirement is sticking to the neutral point of view, and it will help if you make sure that nothing in the article is unattributed. If The Horton Gazette says Playaways have revolutionized the book world, be sure to indicate that it's the Horton Gazette that says so. (I don't know what the Horton Gazette thinks of Playways. Or if there is a Horton Gazette. These are totally for the sake of illustration.) If there are contrasting views, include those as well. Library Monthly says audio books are robbing kids of literacy? Be sure to put that in. I think what's needed here are sound sources to verify everything in the article. Honestly, I sometimes think that editors view articles on companies and products with a more wary eye than they do biographies of living persons. It can be done, but it probably does require extra care. :) Good luck. If you want to bounce specifics, please feel free to let us know. --Moonriddengirl 23:00, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello, and Welcome to Wikipedia! This particular article would be governed by the notability guidelines on companies. The rule of thumb here is noting whether the company has received significant or widespread coverage in secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the company (excluding company PR releases and information solely available on the company website—these sources may be used for additional information after notability has been established by secondary sources). All material must be attributable.

It certainly looks like you've assembled a good collection of sources. The best sources for asserting notability probably include [5], [6] and [7]. If you can find even more of that sort, that would be fabulous. Media articles from organizations with editorial oversight are much preferred. :) The other material would be very helpful in expanding the details. Please do be mindful that information on the individuals involved will be governed by the biographies of living persons guidelines. Nothing can be included about them that isn't present in the sources. This is to protect their privacy and to ensure accuracy.

If you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you discuss the idea on the talk page of a related article or at a relevant WikiProject. If you do choose to write the article in such a case, you'll want to be sure that you approach it neutrally and without undue promotion. If you wish to create the article, you will either need to register an account, which has many benefits, including the ability to create articles, or post it at Wikipedia:Articles for creation, where other editors will review it to be sure it meets policies and, if so, create it for you.

Before establishing the article, please search Wikipedia to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article. Please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation.

Hi. This is a board for getting feedback on articles you'd like to write yourself. If you want to request an article, you may do so at Wikipedia:Requested articles, which can be a rather slow process, or you can suggest it at the talk page of a related article or Wikipedia:WikiProject, like Wikipedia:WikiProject Companies. Before requesting it, if you'd like to get an idea of the requirements of such an article, please take a look at Wikipedia:Notability (web) and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), the two guidelines that would govern such an article.

Appoint Magazine - San Juan Puerto Rico

14 month old magazine in San Juan Puerto Rico www.appointmagazine.com

Available free from 'Hotpoints'

Covers include; Ricky Martin, Draco, Jessica Alba

20,000 copies

Hi - I'm new to this but wondered if it would be worth including this new (ish) title on Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben Harries (talk • contribs) 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Ben, and welcome to Wikipedia. :) The magazine may be appropriate for inclusion if it meets the notability guidelines. Basic rule of thumb would be to check and see if other people are talking about it in reputable sources that are not directly related to the magazine. Has it been covered by industry journals? Has it been discussed in newspaper or other magazines? With Wikipedia, the point is not simply that it exists, but that its existence is of encyclopedic interest. You might want to head over to Wikipedia:WikiProject Journalism to ask what sorts of sources are usually used to substantiate notability on this kind of magazine. You can leave such a question at the project's talk page. (Remember to "sign" your comments by placing ~~~~ at the end of them, which will expand to include your username and a timestamp.) I don't know if the editors at that project are extremely active in watching that project page, but they would probably have a better idea than most how magazine articles work. If you do decide to create the article, you need to be particularly careful to maintain neutrality in tone, as many articles related to businesses or products are carefully inspected for evidence of excessive promotion. Let us know if you want to discuss more specific ideas here or if you'd like me to clarify anything I've said already. Good luck, and happy editing. :) --Moonriddengirl 19:19, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

NYCmetroProject on Wikipedia (appeal/forum/conversation thread/etc.)

Dear Fellow Wikipedists:

I recently stumbled upon a major project idea dedicated to New York City Subway titled NYCmetroProject. The purpose of the project is to create a photo-dialogue/documentary of the riders/users of the subway systems and their individual experiences.

NYC Subway obviously has incredible amounts of history wrapped around it. To-date there are several online sites which document items such as blogging on SubwayBlogger, Facebook Subway Advisories, history/Information directory on NYCSubway, subway/bus directions on HopStop, Google's NYSubway, etc.

What the City of New York is lacking however is an interactive photo-documentary of its millions of riders/users. This is what is being produced (the site is strictly dedicated to "mugshots" of the subway passengers). Wikipedia is a perfect periodical/resource for formal documentation of this project, because it's content is entirely controlled by it's users....as is the content on NYCmetroProject.

You may ask/rebut, "hasn't this sort of thing been done before?" or "why would people want to participate?" - ANSWER 1: photo-concentrated documentaries of people cruising New York's metro systems have existed in the past (most prolific/famous amongst them being Bruce Davidson (photographer) with his 1970's photo series titled Subway. However, never has one successfully penetrated the internet waves of the World Wide Web with an interactive photo-documentary which allows subway users from all over the world to gaze at one another in a safe environment. Plus, the technology and track history of existing applications such as Facebook or Myspace or Flickr tell me the city of NYC and its subway people need an interactive gallery of its populace. If one existed, a user in Kentucky could just as easily get a whiff of what it's like to cruise the subways as someone from Iceland. ANSWER 2: People love getting their pictures taken, especially if it involves being apart of something which is larger than themselves. I have experimented with this in the trenches of the Subways several times and already have a collection of 500+ "mugshots" of riders (w/consent forms) who want to participate.

The site is ambiguous in its present form, but will soon be much more defined as it is collecting bids from various award-winning webdevelopment teams (such as The Map Office) to transpose the photographs into application.

NYCmetroProject will be expanding to all cities listed below: Attached is the original article submitted for publish with wikipedia on 10/10/07.

NYCmetroProject is a photodocumentary web-application whose mission is to create an online experience for riders/travellers/foreigners/domesticans alike and simulate the New York City Subway. The project was co-founded in 2007 by Eileen Beredo and David Nelson and is currently owned and operated by Quagmeyer Productions Inc. Once the project fully circulates NYC, it will spread to the international/domestic hosts listed below (ALL currently under construction). Its primary resource for communication is photography, more specifically "mugshots" of subway riders.

Hello, Quaginc, and welcome to Wikipedia. The challenge of posting such an article will be verifying its encyclopedic notability. Notability guidelines generally call for evidence that article subjects are being discussed in reliable sources that are distinct from the subject—press releases and such can be used for supporting details, but for verifiability Wikipedia requires third party confirmation. Has this project been covered in newspapers or journals that can be cited? If so, and if coverage is not trivial, then an article of this sort should be appropriate for Wikipedia.

If you are able to assemble necessary sources to assert notability, you may certainly create such an article, although if you are closely associated with the subject (as your name suggests you might be), our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you discuss the idea on the talk page of a related article or at a relevant WikiProject. You may also request that an article be written at Wikipedia:Requested articles. If you do choose to write the article and are involved with the project, you'll want to be particularly careful to approach it neutrally and without undue promotion.

Before establishing the article, please search Wikipedia to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article. Please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. Good luck, and happy editing. :) --Moonriddengirl 20:28, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

so.....conclusion on NYCmetroProject: all i have to do is produce an article of non-trivial descent, and have someone else post the article to maintain neutrality???

if such articles do not exist on the project as of yet.....as "substitutes".....is there any way i can use the multitude of consent forms signed by subway riders participating in the project already, and articles summarizing other experiential websites ("genre-ing" the same subject matter - NYC Subways)???

i read credible sources include the following:

1. idea or project (New York City Subway photo-documentary) 2. project creator info (Quagmeyer Productions, Inc.) 3. a site to substantiate the idea exists (www.nycmetroproject.com)

please advise.

Quaginc 20:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry for the delay in responding. I had to answer a business call.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as such is a compendium of previously published information. No matter how fascinating it may be, Wikipedia is not the place for original research. Therefore, an article about this project would not likely be appropriate for Wikipedia unless or until it is covered by the kind of secondary sources that Wikipedia requires for verifiability. Without seeing what you have in mind, I can't of course be certain, but in my experience on Wikipedia I do not believe that substitution of the sort you're describing would meet Wikipedia's guidelines.

Writing about the projects, as there seem to be a large number of similar projects around the world, might be possible, if independent sourcing for those can be found. You might in that context briefly mention this specific one. Lacking secondary sources, though, there's not much room to expand, I'm afraid. Wikipedia is governed by verifiability, not truth, and since we have no oversight committee to go out and investigate claims, we have to rely on sources that do have editorial oversight. Wikipedia's articles therefor avoid websites created by an article's subject. (See WP:V#Self-published_sources_.28online_and_paper.29 for more.) Your project sounds fascinating, and I can well imagine that if it does not yet have proper sourcing, it soon will. It might be best to wait to create the article until it does. --Moonriddengirl 21:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Creating Company Information Pages

My company has given me the task with entering company details onto wikipedia. We wish to have a similar structure of information as Amazon.com entry, but slightly less detailed.

I would like to learn about the process of creating this. I am currently collecting information to form the entry with, however I do not have much experience of wikipedia and would like some advice. I am familiar with HTML if this helps at all.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Andycole85 08:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Andy, and welcome to Wikipedia. :) I'm happy to give you some tips. There's a lot of material to assimilate, but in my experience the learning curve is not so steep.

Probably the major two points you need to be mindful of in creating an article is the notability of the company and your relationship to it. The notability guidelines for companies will help you determine if an article about your company is appropriate for Wikipedia. The basic rule of thumb here is that the company needs to have been covered by reliable, third party sources which you can cite. The company's own publications can be used to add supporting details, but the encyclopedic significance of the company needs to be verified by external parties.

As far as your relationship to the company is concerned, Wikipedia has policies in place governing conflict of interest editing. It is not forbidden, but we do urge you to exercise extreme care when it comes to presenting the company neutrally and without undue promotion. In my observation, I believe that articles on companies receive closer scrutiny than almost any other kind. Even borderline cases are often challenged as being overly promotional, so I would personally suggest you be assertive in explaining why your company has encyclopedic interest and conservative in touting the company's virtues. Good sourcing will help you tremendously with both.

Help:Starting a new page should give you all the guidance you need, but you might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article for additional information. Please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. If you have not done much editing on Wikipedia, you might find it helpful to go into the edit boxes of other articles and just take a look at what Wikipedia's markup looks like in action. Before establishing the article, please search Wikipedia to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Good luck, and happy editing. Please let us know if you have further questions. --Moonriddengirl 12:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Future history of evolution

Recently there was a television program depicting many possibilities for the future of evolution on this planet, including the evolution of humanoid squids and saber-toothed wolverines. I believe there's already an article for this program, but said program is only a small part of a larger topic. Another television program, many years ago, did something similar, predicting that rats might take over the evolutionary niche left by wolves, that rabbits might do the same with the niche left over from the giraffe, the penguine with the niche left from the whale, and also predicted that bats might become flightless, bipedal, cursorial predators that run on the front limbs and use their hind limbs for clawing/grasping. Such an article could also include commedy, such as the replacement of pigeons by spotted owls in the future of Futurama. The article would essentially cover the spectrum from serious hypothesizing about the future of evolution to pure entertainment. So far, I can't find anything like it on the web, and that's a real shame, because the second television program I mentioned is already obscure (I think it might've starred one or both of the "Dinosaur guys" who used to do all those television specials; Gary Owens and what's-his-name) and a lot of this information could be lost forever if Wikipedia doesn't make a record of it. --GrammarDude 13:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I would suppose there might be room for an article on evolutionary prediction if there isn't one already. After all, people have predicting the way species will evolve since people first developed that notion that species do evolve. :) I think particular attention would need to be paid to sourcing to avoid original research or synthesis, since it seems to me there might be some danger in crossing over into primary research. I'd probably start by looking for journal articles that discuss the trend of making such predictions. --Moonriddengirl 13:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh, no doubt original research will be a problem! I think if I or someone else can can somehow find the names of the two television programs I mentioned, then those, along with the Futurama reference, would be enough for a decent stub (as opposed to a micro-stub). If we were to start off with those from the get go, potential contributors might be more likely to see the page as a repository of hypotheses about the future of evolution that've already been made in works of fiction, and therefore a place not to chime-in with one's own opinions about what directions evolution might take but to chime-in instead with one's favorite documentary (et cetera) depicting such hypotheses, which should, I think, discourage original research without someone creating a sub-heading specifically for that purpose. Any other ideas as to how to go about it? --GrammarDude 14:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm. Are you thinking to write a list or an article? And original research is not allowed even if there is a specific subhead for that purpose. :) --Moonriddengirl 16:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Fictional history of evolution

I'm thinking a page describing hypothetical creatures such as the Dinosauroid-from-Stenonychosaurus thought experiment, species created for pure entertainment like the Sleestak from Land of the Lost or the Voth from Star Trek (not to mention that in the Star Trek universe, spiders are one of the species in humanity's evolutionary history, as well as our cousins, the Neandethals, Eryopse was a synapsid, warm-blooded creatures evolved only once, with dinosaurs -- presumably including avian dinosaurs -- being cold-blooded) might be of some use. A page dedicated to fictional creatures supposed to have evolved some time in the (fictional) history of the planet, like the creatures from the 2005 version of King Kong's Skull Island. It could also include purely fantastic beasts like Tolkien's "oliphaunts" -- possibly. If too large, it could be divided into subpages. --GrammarDude 13:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Evolution in fiction

I don't mean fictional protrayals or descriptions of actual evolution, such as the sickeningly common treatment of evolution in hollywood with humans being the "most advanced" species on the "evolutionary ladder/chain" or any bullspit like that (such as in films like X-Men. On the contrary, I'm thinking more along the lines of films like Evolution, or Mimic wherein a fictional speciation event or phylogenic "explosion" occurs. But as with the last two suggestions I've made, I haven't nearly the knowledge to start assembling a page like that myself, and am completely bogged down with other projects (it's amazing I've found the time just to make this and the last two posts to this page!). --GrammarDude 13:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

The Drawing Board is for discussing ideas for articles you plan to create yourself. If you want to spark interest in someone else about creating sub-articles on evolution, you might want to suggest it at the talk page of one of the existing articles about evolution or bring it up at the appropriate Wikipedia:WikiProject. As far as I can tell, I am the only editor currently routinely monitoring this page, and this isn't the type of article I write. I'm a Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums kind of girl. :) --Moonriddengirl 16:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Evolution in popular culture

In contrast to "Evolution in fiction", which would deal with fictional evolutionary scenerios, this could be reserved for describing the accuracy or lack of accuracy with which films, books, television programs, et cetera, deal with the subject of evolution, and could even contain a section with some statistics on how well the general public understands evolution, from the support for evolution page. --GrammarDude 13:50, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

WikiWar

WikiWar is the act of a friendly e-mail flame war attempting to out-do one another with random and/or more absurd obscure references found on Wikipedia by sending random links. For example, one person might send a link to a long-forgotten breakfast cereal while the next person would reply with a link to a Wikipedia page of a high-profile failure such as the CD-Interactive gaming system. The game continues until one opponent becomes stumped, unable to retrieve from their memory any further obscure references or one person replies with a cool or successful product or actually brings back fond (and not negative) memories. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerby1976 (talk • contribs) 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Gerby1976, and welcome to Wikipedia. The challenge in establishing this article, I would think, would be proving that it's not a neologism. As that policy explains, you'd need to use reliable sources that discuss the term for verifiability, not just primary sources that use the term. Some of the common dictionaries that list phrases like that do not meet Wikipedia's criteria for reliable sources. Another challenge is that unless a full, encyclopedic article could be written about it, it would likely qualify as a dictionary definition, which would make it unsuitable for this project. If you can find reliable sources for it, but not enough information to make it encyclopedic, you might want to consider submitting it to Wiktionary. --Moonriddengirl 19:12, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

cyber enlightenment

The human mind is still the best computer money can buy but is still running short of the potential of the human mind/computer. Human mind can source information needed ultra fast but sometimes you can't get your hardware to work to the pace of your brain the words might not come out or vice versa.If you are passionate about learning a particular subject you will excell, if it comes from a conected energy source with backup access you feel you do not need to store as much information because you can shuffle back through your notes. Henry Ford would not clutter his mind with useless information he focused on what he was doing at the time if he needed to know something he would call someone so his iq was not the greatest but he was a very great man. Storage devices and the organisation skills of machines has freed alot of humans minds up and have the time to dream again, but they don't know what to dream anymore because our machines hum us to sleep as we fall in front of the computer or tv trying to escape reality when all seems to real. Is there a celestine powers in the computers? it is the great unknown the power, the cyberworld who knows what we will be capable of in the next fifty years it won't be much we have hit the cyber ceiling but baby steps looking for a balance for the planet will have to be first priority otherwise it will be a fucked up world.

Whoever you are you can change the word with a little knowledge teach others as you go most don't want to listen,ignorance is bCyber enlightenment Enlightenment gained from historical and modern trends in science and culture via cyberworld rather than traditional mentors and teachers. A sense of being is usually gained from a cyber experience the machine is the machine and you are the human sometime the machines are seen not as friends and as a hassle but still you are connecting with energy and a a network of internet or intranet. If you view the cyberworld as a universe itself and the machines are a link to that universe that is growing without water or sunlight but must still have energy.If you look at computers on wikipedia you will find the map to the internet the white represents the unknown and is growing. You will have to wonder if the machines are going to take over one day they already run our lives with blackberrys and cell phones ect ect we have incredible war machines that could wipe out life on the planet.I think honesty with oneself to beleive that the machines won't be there to hurt us and there are people like us on the machines connected to the web then each other will ultimatley rule the world one day.People that believe everything they see on tv are not usually into cyber enlightenment,they like to turn there mind off and let someone else do the thinking and immerse there mind.When they have limitless possibilities in gaining knowledge that could change your life form religion to politics to the prophets everyone in a free country has a massive library. Even the secrets to life would probaly hidden away somewhere in cyberspace, through communication of knowledge we create new paradigms,growth and development for individuals and nations. You can look up zen or look up satan pornography or religious sites these are the real x files to alot of people and the more they learn the more they can feel enlightened because we all have a great computer our own mind. 61.68.38.134 21:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Giritina. :) There's really two questions to answer here: whether the books are notable and whether you can write about them without the problems sometimes encountered by article writers with a conflict of interest. Wikipedia:Notability (books) can help you determine if the books meet Wikipedia's guidelines for inclusion—that is, if they are of interest to the readers of an encyclopedia. The article would need to set out what makes the books notable and verify that with reliable secondary sources. If the books are notable, you certainly may choose to create an article about them, but you would want to be even more cautious than most editors to use a neutral tone and avoid undue promotion. --Moonriddengirl 22:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
