Interval Monday

The reason the articles discuss Ava is because of Interval Monday (the name of the jazz jam session). Nevertheless, I don't understand how Interval Monday isn't notable... we're talking about world renowned musicians here. The musicians are notable according to the musicians criteria, so wouldn't the fact that these musicians are coming together to play music at Interval Monday be notable? If Bruce Springstein showed up just about every Monday to a rock and roll jam session that was referred to as 'rock with Bruce,' and played music for free, wouldn't that be notable? Maybe I'm missing something.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.163.247.20 (talk)

Here's what I meant when I denied your request: it's not that Interval Monday isn't notable— it most likely is— it's just that you need to prove it. On Wikipedia, the definition of notability is this: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." If you don't fully understand that, you can read further here. Sadly, it doesn't matter if an article's subject was cited a million newspaper articles— it matters that you can prove that it was cited a million newspaper articles. You do this, obviously, by using sources. The problem, though, is that only the third out of all four sources talks about Interval Monday specifically, the rest talk about Ava Lounge in general. I will accept the article— in truth, you need only one source for an article, but I made a proposal on the submission's talk page, if you did not read it, please do so. Why not make an article about Ava Lounge, which appears to have more sources, and have Interval Monday as a section in it? I await your response.

Review

Thank You, and yeah, I'll use the preview button from now on, and also , I was messing with those templates on my page, which I now realize is wrong.Also , I have a lot of trouble remembering polices, do you have any ideas that would help me there? I was thinking about creating a subpage and putting the important facts of the policies down , but I want to do it the best way.Again, thanks for the review!Þέŗṃέłḥìμŝ ^Life_Death 14:11, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Forgetting policies is by no means uncommon, so I see why you would want to create a subpage with important facts. How about putting the content from {{Welcomeg}} or {{WelcomeMenu}} on it? These are two standard templates that some users give to newly registered users, and they both contain a good deal of information. Wikipedia's simple ruleset page contains a lot of useful information about standard rules in an easy-to-browse format. The five pillars contains five core principals of Wikipedia, while the list of policies and the list of guidelines pages contains every major policy and a selection of guidelines in a summarized format. Finally, there's the glossary, which is pretty self-explanatory, and {{Wikipedia policies and guidelines}}, which is a template that is also pretty self-explanatory. I hope that helps, The Earwig ^{(Talk | Contributions)} 22:03, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Bot

I like the bot. I thought it would have been natural though to post a message on WT:WPAFC to inform the project about the proposal. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 23:09, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Wow. I forgot to notify WikiProject Articles for Creation... wow. I swear, that's really weird. I actually thought for a moment that I had. Oh well, I guess I'll do that now, and thanks for your support. It's my first true bot (EarwigBot I has no BRFAs yet, so I appreciate the fact that it's working as I had programmed it to do.
