Dear Alpha Quadrant - Thanks again for your assistance. I edited http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Earth%27s_Birthday_Project after reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV. I removed adjectives or clauses that might have bias or make a strong statement. I also looked for ways to attribute statements. If there are additional areas that need more neutrality, please let me know specifically. It will be helpful for future articles to understand this policy from a senior editor's POV. I did not resubmit the article yet after seeing your note to fellow reviewers. Thank you. jonsweaver. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonsweaver (talk • contribs) 17:31, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I have done another review. There are still some sentences that need rewording. For example:
This is an opinion, as this should be written in an encyclopedic tone the article should be free of opinions. Opinions may be stated if they are from a reliable source, but they must be referenced and it must be clear that it is an opinion. I hope that helps. You have a very good start, after the tone is adjusted the article will be a good encyclopedia entry. You have some good references. Alpha Quadrant talk 17:46, 4 January 2011 (UTC) [reply]

112th Congress

Me again; the semi-protected senators with pages that need updating are Chuck Grassley, John McCain, and Jim Inhofe; they are now 8th, 16th, and 26th Seniority in the United States Senate. I put change requests on their talk pages awhile back, requesting those 3 be altered to match the other 97, but the only response seemed to be a minor bite / weak I don't like it. Couldn't see anything on your page indicating online status (something I plan to learn how to do to include on my page when that happens). 75.204.42.109 (talk) 19:56, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! If you think it's reasonable; while I understood the point about the italics, the other changes weren't made either, and those ran about 90/10; putting 3 more in italics seemed easier than going back and changing the other 97, especially since reverting would have undone productive changes. I will be much more careful in the future. 75.204.42.109 (talk) 21:14, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Bill Posey is s/p and has no oop box; if you would, please paste it below his USHR box;I can't see the problem to know why the others aren't connected.

Sure thing, I have added the box that you requested. Best, Alpha Quadrant talk 15:07, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Made to user space, finally. Thanks again for the help. Dru of Id (talk) 21:11, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Your most welcome, if you have any questions I would be happy to help. You will be able to edit semi-protected pages in two days when your account becomes auto-confirmed. You may wish to request the reviewer flag. Reviewer allows you to review edits to Pending changes protected pages and also automatically mark your own edits as reviewed. Until a pending change is reviewed it does not appear. Pending change protection is usually applied to biographies that are targets of slander. (Politicians are usually targeted and are often pending change protected or semi-protected.) As you often edit articles on politics that flag would likely be helpful to you. You can request reviewer at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions. Best wishes, Alpha Quadrant talk 23:07, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I 'll probably wait at least a little while before requesting reviewer; plenty to do where I've been lately to keep me busy. Dru of Id (talk) 01:40, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Crypt Infection

Hi, Alpha Quadrant! I'm not sure why my article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Crypt_Infection_%28Band%29 doesn't meet the verifiability requirements. The radio show linked to is an actual recording of the interview, so that should be as verifiable as it gets, yes? Thanks! Scythe000 (talk) 18:36, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:BAND. Topics need to meet the notability guideline to be accepted. To be considered notable they need to have accomplished at least one of the things on the list at WP:BAND. I hope that helps. Best, Alpha Quadrant talk 19:15, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Earth's Birthday

Alpha Quadrant, Thanks for your above comments. Striving for neutrality, I've rewritten several statements of this article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Earth's_Birthday_Project I have also added 4 references from newspapers to support statements in History. If you have any additional recommendations for improving the article, I am interested. I've appreciated your ongoing help. all the best, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jonsweaver — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonsweaver (talk • contribs) 18:49, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that you have fixed the issues. I reworded two sentences, after which I accepted. Good job on the article. Best, Alpha Quadrant talk 19:10, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alpha Quadrant, your assistance is appreciated. Good luck with all you do. best JON Jonsweaver (talk) 20:07, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry I was so late in my reply. I haven't been on Wikipedia much in the past 10 days. You're most welcome. Best wishes, Alpha Quadrant talk 20:18, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

John Anderson Houghton

Dear Alpha Quadrant. I have resubmitted this and also kept trying to improve it. Stupidly, however, I set the whole thing up as ANDERTON - it should be ANDERSON. I have corrected where I can but cannot change the title. Can you help, please. SusanWynneThomson (talk) 10:59, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Carden, Governor of Antigua 1666

Yesterday I placed the following response on the "articles for review" page - sorry, I now realise I should have put it here - you can see that I am a beginner! Please be so very kind as to suggest how I can make the article less like an essay. Cardenae (talk) 22:47, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree - I think that if someone wanted to know about Robert Carden, Governor of Antigua, they would find the proposed article extremely interesting and informative. Why not accept it and allow me and others to improve it in due course? I have looked at the guidelines and cannot see how to overcome your objections. None of the many people called Robert Carden to be found elsewhere are connected with, or contemporary with, the subject of my article. No other page with my suggested title "Robert Carden, Governor of Antigua 1666" already exists.Cardenae (talk) 09:33, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Makeet, Webcams(website)

Dear Alpha Quadrant. I have resubmitted my Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Webcams_%28Website%29 and i found reliable resources on published books. All my references comes from books written by authors with a huge background in adult industry. I fix all issues from your last review and I come with new sources, but again my article submission was declined. Let me know, more details about section when i must improve my article to be finally accepted by you. Makeet (talk) 15:50, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the sources you provided are third party, and reliable, however most of them only have small mentions of the company and the company is not the main subject of the sources. I have marked it as pending so another reviewer can review it so a second opinion can be given. Alpha Quadrant talk 03:49, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Alpha Quadrant for this helpful decision. I'll wait until another editor will review my Wikipedia article. Makeet (talk) 16:00, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A Shade of Difference closing

    Re your closing of the discussion at Talk:A Shade of Difference#Merge proposal, there's no reason to doubt that it was compatible with the primary guidelines for such closings. Nevertheless, IMO its effect is so much of a miscarriage of the intent of the process that you should consider reversing your own decision and extending the discussion, even if doing so would require you to IAR.
    W/o going here into the merits of the arguments made, please note that you closed just under 36 hours after my extensive rebuttal to the two other discsussant's terse comments. Perhaps you contacted them and determined that they are satisfied to have it closed without their commenting further, but if so i would hope you'd say so in the section. Where the attention devoted to the case for merging is so lopsided, would it not be wise to allow more time for reaching consensus, perhaps giving notice to the identified project?
    Thanks for your attention.
