Your RFA

Saw you withdrew your RFA. Sorry it didn't go so well. I just wanted to say that I think you're a great contributor and I hope to support you next time. Don't let it stress you out, though. Wikipedia is still better because you contribute whether you are an admin or not.--v/r - TP 01:58, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • While I was neutral, I cam here to say basically the same thing as TParis. I spent a fair bit of time looking over your contributions and they are really really good. I just think you need to address the handful of issues raised and come back in 3 months if you are still interested. Please don't leave the project or something else like that, your work is really outstanding and appreciated. Plus your answers on image issues were easily the best I've seen. We need more people who understand that stuff well. Hobit (talk) 02:03, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with these sentiments. I opposed, but if you work on communications skills, I can't see any reason you wouldn't get the tools the next time around. In the meantime, you make valuable contributions here. MarmadukePercy (talk) 02:05, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hobit brought up a good point I meant to mention. Your answer to question 7 was really impressive.--v/r - TP 02:13, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the no voters were very hard on you; it's obvious from the maintenance and admin work you already do you could undertake admin duties in your sleep. Seriously Armbrust, you are the best editor I've ever come across on Wikipedia. Betty Logan (talk) 02:35, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RE: First time contribution

I am doing this all wrong... How can I fix this article for acceptable status? Please help, I am lost in the Wikiworld. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Missnamella (talk • contribs) 23:29, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well it looks like to me, that this person isn't notable. You should also ask the person, who declined it: Joey Roe (talk · contribs) for more details. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 09:29, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{Poster fur}}

Well I'm glad someone's using it :)

In places particularlly for events the wording could be improved, events tend to have a promoter rather than a publisher ;)

Any improvements you can make to the template much appreciated (provided they are documented ;)

Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:36, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Zachara1.JPG Is an example where an alternate wording might work better :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:03, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Help!

Hi, I'm finding this Wikipedia stuff really really difficult. I've tried to submit a piece about a photographer Damian Bird, but it was rejected because it needs inline citations or something. I've tried to find some URLs to link to, to show Damian's numerous published features, but because they were all done before the newspapers and magazines really got into the idea of having internet sites, his articles are not listed in their archives. I have hard copies of all the magazine and newspaper articles, from which I took all the titles of the magazines, titles of the features and the dates and I added them as references at the bottom of my article, but it seems that this is not enough. Please can you help me. I'm tearing my hair out! :( Thank you in advance........ Mingusbingus (talk) 07:56, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I advice reading referencing for beginners first. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 10:10, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Davis vs Reynolds

It's a shame a source can't be found for this being the only whitewash in a ranking final. It's quite a noteworthy achievement and I know it's true, I just can't find it mentioned anywhere... SteveO (talk) 14:56, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find it any reliable sources either. Altough I found this, it's not reliable. I only could fined one, that states it was the first one. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 15:21, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I did trawl though Google but couldn't find anything better than this. I'll keep a look out as it'd be a nice fact to have in the article. SteveO (talk) 23:03, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Samuel J. Meisels AfC

You will find that I added two citations establishing Dr. Meisels's notability as a major contributor to early childhood. (Mica451 (talk) 18:37, 20 May 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Submission has still not enough independent sources to be accepted. Meisels has co-authored one of the new references. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 18:59, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, As corporate communication manager I am working to create an article about ZUNO BANK in wiki, I would also upload an image but I am not able. Could you help me with this because I am quite new with wiki and I am not aware with everything? Thank you by advance. Best regards, Antoine,valade (talk) 10:44, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I can't help you with the upload of this file, because there's no article on which this picture should be used and logos are generally copyrighted. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 19:23, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, but the thing is I have the article for ZUNO BANK but I just wanted to publish it with the logo. Should I publish the logo and then the pic?Antoine,valade (talk) 06:46, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think you should first create the article, and than request the upload of the logo at files for upload. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 07:46, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

La Chat AfC

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to review my article on "La Chat". It's my first article, but I am confused about why you feel that the sources are not verifiable. I have used references such as a well-known published book and the allmusic.com guide for her discography, another well respected source (entries are often quoted on Amazon). Are you sure that's not strong enough? I think those sources are much better than a lot of other stuff on wikipedia. Do you think maybe you're being a little too stringent? Thanks for taking the time to check it out. Thanks, Ben — Preceding unsigned comment added by Godtoldmeto (talk • contribs) 11:03, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well firstly it looks like me, that these person isn't notable and fails Wikipedia's notability guideline for musicians. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 19:30, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Olis, Inc. page

Hello, I believe you reviewed my article, Olis Inc., for submission. I don't believe I had the references set up correctly before, and I'm not sure they are now because my second review came back with the exact same critique, that I had not cited reliable, third-party sources, which I did. Or tried to do. Please help. Lalo1121 (talk) 16:49, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I took a look at the submission and it looks like you closed the references with <ref> instead of </ref>. Because of this most of the text weren't shown and it looked like it was unreferenced. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 02:06, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I need your opinion on this!

I asked the users on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Darts but I have not had a response because they are mostly talking about RFC - Use of the Ulster Banner in Darts articles. So I would love to hear your opinion on this. I have added the statistics on the articles of the 2008 World Matchplay Darts, the 2009 World Matchplay Darts, the 2010 Players Championship Finals and the 2011 Players Championship Finals. I also added the highest checkout on those tournaments infobox. Also on those articles and the 2010 World Matchplay Darts, I have added the LWAT (Legs Won Against Throw) section in the statistics table. What do you think? Wonderwizard (talk) 19:54, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I don't see anything wrong with the use of the Ulster Banner in the tables, as they reflect real life usage within darts. On the other hand it would be good if there was some source for these statistics. This is not just a problem on these articles, but every darts tournament article with these kinds of tables. They have absolutely no sources. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 01:36, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mohammad Nejatullah Siddiqi

The link I have send for uploading the photo of Mohammad Nejatullah Siddiqi is his original photo and is taken from his website. There is no licence information and nor the photo is licensed. Hope the photo will be added in the appropriate place in the page of Mohammad Nejatullah Siddiqi. (Sana commerce28 (talk) 14:52, 28 May 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Sorry, but without an appropriate license link, the file will not be uploaded. Of course if you can contact him and and he gives permission to use the file, than it could be uploaded. In this case follow WP:CONSENT. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 14:57, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WWE Capitol Punishment

I have recently perused the recently created WWE Capitol Punishment page and seen that the poster on there is the outdated one that was created prior to the poster that is currently featured on WWE.com's website. Can you possibly revert the poster to the one that is being used on the website? I hope to hear from you soon. COOLRUNNER87 (talk) 15:27, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Found a reliable source for the new poster and correct the file. BTW the worst WWE PPV poster I ever seen. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 15:43, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You're right on that account. It reminds me of a bad boardwalk artist that was tapped to do the PPV poster for $20. At least the logo itself looks pretty good. COOLRUNNER87 (talk) 18:06, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2011 May newsletter

We're half way through round 3 of the 2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Scotland Casliber (submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by Texas Racepacket (submissions), Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions) and Saskatchewan Canada Hky (submissions) respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.

A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Files for upload template?

Hi, you added (atm) the last file for upload request a comment to changing the license. Is there a template for that - and if - why is it not in the editnotice of the page? mabdul 07:09, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well currently the template doesn't contain this option, but it could be added to it. Alternatively there is {{subst:ffu|c}} to make original comments for special upload requests, which are not already present. In this case the requester says: "I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby release it into the public domain. This applies worldwide." and assuming good faith he uploaded the image to FlickR, thus if s/he changes the license within one week, than we can upload the file. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 07:21, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Have added a parameter to the template. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 07:28, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came to you last time according to a question for the logo of my company ZUNO BANK AG. I made what you told me and somebody from wiki answer me to send a link for the copyright of the image but my legal departement explained me that we do not have such a digital document they are asking a contact to send our terms of use concerning our logo. Can you help me with this request? Thanks by advance. Antoine,valade (talk) 13:26, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
