AfC

Hi! Thanks for your help at AfC. Just to say that if you could possibly assess the articles you create it saves time later. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation#Assessment for details. Cheers, Martin 13:36, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing ... you don't need to remove the ts and a parameters of {{AFC submission}}. Actually leaving the timestamp is better because it sorts the category. Martin 17:34, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

sorry if this is in the wrong place but i think you deleted my page "James Bartlett" and i wandered if you could send it to me at <email removed> cheers --117Chiefy (talk) 23:37, 18 January 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117Chiefy (talk • contribs) 23:35, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I asked for it's deletion because it was of a non-notable figure. read WP:BIO and maybe WP:AUTO. Empire3131 (talk) 00:28, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Think globally, act locally vs Think globally act locally

The comma prevents proper linking from outside (specifically a blog I'm active in), so I thought it would be simpler to create a redirect. The problem is I don't want to sign in because people at the blog can then figure out my Wikipedia identity. Thanks. 66.57.190.166 (talk) 00:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for creation

Hi, do you think this was ready to be created? Please take some time to clean up articles when creating them. Leaving them like this in mainspace just means someone else is going to have to come and tidy up after you or nominate them for deletion. Thanks, Martin 19:54, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, It was't, was it. plus the large block print wasn't there. any way to get rid of it (A7?) Empire3131 (talk) 20:01, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't think A7 applies to albums. How about we keep the stuff actually related to "Living out of time" and remove the rest of it? If he/she wants articles about the others then they can submit it properly. Martin 21:04, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Empire3131 (talk) 21:20, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's looking a bit better now I've given it the once over. I don't think I'd create anything without a reliable source in future, even if it's related to something/somebody else who's notable. Anyway keep up the good work, you've got that backlog down a bit! Martin 22:27, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That person is causing much greif. Empire3131 (talk) 01:56, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Genova & Dimitrov article

Hello, I really don't understand the Wikipedia world anymore - Graeme wanted from me "profs of notability" for the two artsts, I have put so many press international press releases proving exactly that, I've put the Library of Congress list, where the Artists' recordings were chosen to be included in the woldwide Sound Reference Center, but you decide now that Genova & Dimitrov are not notable enough to be presented with an article at Wikipedia????????? What is going on there? --84.131.101.60 (talk) 12:05, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to take another look at this for you. Martin 18:22, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look and declined it because it was a copyright violation. So the decision was right, if not the reason ... I am a bit annoyed actually because I spent some time formatting the article before I realised it was just copied. The page log is quite interesting! Martin 22:20, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

wow. 8 deletions, a ban, and the IP still tries to get it in! Empire3131 (talk) 22:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a message both to Martin and to Empire3131 - I was in contact with Graeme when I requested a review adding ONLY FEW simple sentences about these distinguished Artists, because as such there will be ALWAYS somehere in the world some newspaper article or interiew or whatever press release about them and you, Friends, would stamp it as copyright violation. Graeme however declined the request because there was no sufficiant details giving enough information about the "Notabiliy" of the Artists. That's why I created - NOT COPYIED - the text that I put for re-reviewing, following Graeme's advises. Now, you decide just like thisand without to take care of all this, that this is a copy violation. What can one do in order to get a normal text? --84.131.56.81 (talk) 09:33, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've posted the re-done page already on 21 January 2009 but nobody has reviewed it till now. Why?--84.131.70.39 (talk) 13:34, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well done

Yellow Dog Linux Powerstation article

After some reviewer put the review on hold citing "non-reliable sources" (I had only posted two sources at that time, and one of them was the company's own website), I put several more sources into it including reputed 3rd party sources like linux.com, lwn, as well as power.org, which is an industry consortium. If even that is *not* a reliable source, I'd like to know what constitutes a reliable source. I'm not taking this personally (as the `article declined' message recommends, and I am not intending this post as a denunciation of any kind, but I must wonder if you have `cleared' out the Afc backlog in such a summary fashion with other articles as well. Anyway, I am posting the article again, and please review the sources carefully (it would help if you actually followed the links) before rejecting it again, as I hope you will do.

Good day.

This was on my user page.

Thanks for rejecting it again. Could you please explain why?

PS: Sorry for leaving the request on your user page. I typed it in after seeing a similar request there. 121.241.126.34 (talk) 16:00, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PPS: Maybe you could leave some articles for others to review? 121.241.126.34 (talk) 16:00, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's O.K. Someone else didn't find it verifiable and so refused it. I just completed the process. And I don't need to use AfC for article creation because I have an account.Empire3131 (talk) 16:14, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding. I didn't imply that you leave your articles for review, but that if you were unsure of another article, just leave it as it is, instead of declining it. As you could have seen, that other person put the article on hold, didn't decline it. Placing an article on hold means that that person was not sure of the verifiability of the sources. This could of course mean dubious sources, but could also mean that that reviewer is less familiar with the subject matter. If you found, on the basis of you own abilities, a reason to decline the article, that's fine, but treating an article on hold as an article that must be declined, so as to complete the process, is a mistake. An on hold article can be resolved easily in the other direction (acceptance) by another reviewer, while one that is declined, cannot. So, please, take that into consideration before declining an article.

Coming to the article itself, the article is, in my opinion, well written, with regards to machinery that is in actual production, as opposed to speculative, and is completely in my own original words, though sourced from others. The sources listed for the article are the company's own website (which may be deemed biased), as well as respected trade news magazines like linux.com and lwn.net, as well as the most reliable, release announcements as well as product pages on power.org, a highly respected industry consortium dedicated to resources about the Power Architecture-based computer technologies. It includes IBM, Motorola/Freescale, as well as companies that incorporate or integrate such technology. You may check the Wikipedia entry for Power.org. If that is not a reliable source, I do not know what is. The computer is notable as it represents the only production workstation class computer available at mass-market prices, and may be considered the successor to the Open Desktop Workstation, though by a different company. It also represents the only major current effort to market the GNU/Linux operating system on non-Intel x86 compatible hardware in a workstation-class machine. This should make it notable enough for an online encyclopedia like Wikipedia. 203.145.134.205 (talk) 19:35, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussions

Hi, I notice there are a couple of deletion discussions underway for articles you are have !created.

are both up for incineration. And I think I agree with the points raised on those discussions. Don't worry too much about it, but if you're not sure about a submission, just leave it for someone else or perhaps ask one of the regulars to look at it. Cheers, Martin 15:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I got the info from this useful page which I have just discovered, just in case you think I'm following you, which I'm not :) Martin 15:18, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Action Figure Displays

Please reconsider your deletion of this company/product. I know it to be legit and the company JDP Design is in it's final stages of receiving a registered trademarked and LLC company title. They have sales in the US and international.
