Lazy Generation

Hello Stella,

I have recently tried to set up two pages The Lazy Generation UK and Frank "The Hat" McLoveridge. The reason I did this is because I am a massive fan of the Online Television show and the character Frank. Thousands of people watch the show and they have thousands of followers on Twitter and Facebook. Surely this warrants there being a Wikipedia page about the subjects I have just mentioned??

I love searching on Wikipedia as it is such a helpful tool but I have never edited or set up a page about a subject or person before. Could you please let me know what is going wrong.

Many Thanks,

Matt Keep — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.122.3.105 (talk) 21:06, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Matt. Do a Wikipedia search for a similar show that you like, click edit and read the coding and style, and try to replicate that format. This is the best way to learn for beginners. Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 21:15, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Self Made

Hi Txcrossbow.

I have been working on a submission which you declined due to the article potentially not being supported by adequate references. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Self_Made

I came to this page and replied to address the issue raised on the 14th of July and have been waiting to hear from you but my reply seems to have dissapeared from this page?

The issue as I believe was that you were of the opinion the article was not adequately supported by reliable sources. In the city of Canberra there is but one major newspaper, one music magazine and until recently one music based tv program. With "Big Dave" being from Canberra these are the most reliable sources available in this region that discuss the relevent topics and one link per outlet is included as reference.

On a larger scale the Dubcnn link outlines the deal between WIDEawake Entertainment and KP Records from the North American perspective. Dubcnn is seen as the Los Angeles authority on hip hop and there news and site content is respected in the hip hop genre.

The last link I supplied was to a youtube video. I understand that youtube is not all ways a reliable source but on this occassion the video features the making of the album including studio visits from the high profile guests. It was an official upload to the KP Records youtube channel.

Could you please take a look at my article and if you dont think it is supported by enough reliable sources then please advise me as to which sources are acceptable as reliable in the Canberra region and how I might go about completing this article for publishing on wiki.

Thank you for your help and patience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deanstokes (talk • contribs) 23:07, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

• • • • • • • Further discussion*******

Hi Txcrossbow.

I just noticed your referal to WP:NALBUMS on July 14. Im sorry I did not notice this yesterday. Thank you! That has cleared things up for me.

From reading that page and pages on notability (music) and general notability as off links to that page it looks as though my article is ready for publishing on wikipedia if you agree?

The album I have written about certainly meets the guidlines.

---"significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" - I have included links to independant and very reliable sources. "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material"

--- "require a standalone article if it meets the General notability guideline" This album features the most notable guest list ever featured on an Australian hip hop release with platinum US based guests.

The release is also ground breaking in Australia due to the nature of the release. With Hip Hop being traditionally American it is the first distribution deal between and Australian and North American company in regards to Hip Hop music. This is part of the reason I used the dubcnn link as it is a reliable US based source to demonstrate the gravity of the deal. That article may well be the first time and Aussie has ever appeared on that site.

I hope this further discussion helps us move closer to publishing this article as I plan to elaborate on it prior and post release of the album if we can progress. If not I guess I'll try my hand at writing something else though I firmly believe as a hip hop fan and Australian music fan that this album needs a wiki article.

Thanks Tx!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deanstokes (talk • contribs) 02:30, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Suite 709

Hi Txcrossbow,

My argument for the musical group in my new article being notable is how they're working with Google, specifically in using Google+ Hangouts to broadcast live concerts. They're leading the charge with this online tool. One of their songs is featured on a national Google ad. I believe that addresses criterion #12. I understand if you seek more, though, and I appreciate any additional feedback on how to improve this article.

Hector Guerra

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/_Hector_Guerra Hello! First of all, I have never written or contributed for Wiki before so thank you for your patience with me. I see I need to change my first reference as it is the artist's own page. I am waiting for chart and sales info from itunes to add to my references to confirm the "#1 album on iTunes Mexico" and "#1 song on itunes Mexico" statements, but that will take 24 hours. I also could not figure out how to link the article to the "latin music" section, but I wanted to take care of the writing and make sure the work met the criteria first. Also, I am having trouble pulling english language information on this artist, but I found a huge list of Spanish print magazine articles he has been featured in. Unfortunately, this list includes many scanned-in glossy magazine articles without dates of publication, making it very difficult to source them http://www.entrelineasent.es/hectorguerra/HectorGuerraNewsEnglish.pdf . The most notable I could find was a section in the Spain edition of Rolling Stone, and I am trying to pull a reference for their 2007 nomination for Best New Music Act by Canal Latino TV. Hopefully these new references will meet the criteria for notability, and then I am just waiting on iTunes to confirm the chart positions. Please let me know if there are any suggestions or personal-favorite-tutorials you can recommend to improve my contributions. Thank you! CharissaCiudadanacinical (talk) 01:21, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Ian Anthony Stroud Dr.

Hi! I would like to know what exactly the problem is with the page I submitted about my stepded. The article doesn't have a link because it was declined and I can not find the reason for this, though you mention that your comments are visible. They are not. Thank you for replying a.s.a.p.

BETA tester!

Hi, I saw you the last week(s) very active at AFC and I believe you have CLUE and be some 'techie' and thus I want you as my primary 'beta tester'! What you have to do? Nothing except exchange the gadget(remove the check in the box) with my beta script (add to your skin following line: importScript('User:Mabdul/afc beta.js'); //beta script: User:mabdul/afc beta.js) and do 'some' reviews. Important: do test the new functionality related to biography articles when accepting and report your feedback at WP:AFCH/DEV. If you have any question, want some live talk, etc, come online at #wikipedia-en-afc ^connect. Regards, mabdul 22:01, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

HELP... I disabled the old script but I don't know what you mean by adding to my skin. Please advise Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 23:31, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Ups, sry, I didn't checked the links and thus didn't recognized that it is a redlink. Go to either your account's common JavaScript file or to your skin's JavaScript file: and add (without any leading whitespace):

importScript('User:Mabdul/afc beta.js'); //beta script: User:mabdul/afc beta.js

After saving, don't forget to bypass your browser's cache!. If you want to see my skin javascript file as an example, click here. Regards, mabdul 09:47, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't like this script and now I can't find my skins. When I navigate there, it says the page is not found. Tell me how to delete this script from my profile. It does not work for reviewing and comments. Thank you. Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 15:45, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Your skin file is here: User:Txcrossbow/vector.js; either remove the line; commenting it out by placing at the beginning of the line // or let an admin delete it by placing at the top {{db-u1}}. (For using again the gadget you have to turn it on again in your preferences file and then don't forget to bypass your cache again!) Regards, mabdul 19:55, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Mad... I did try to use it, but I got frustrated that I would type out comments, then the script would stall and I had to type my comments again (or copy and paste my comment manually). I'm very sorry :( Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 16:50, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Let me guess: you are using Internet Explorer before version 9? *g* Moreover: did you try to wait? I'm doing a major cleanup of the code and some parts are not finished and thus need speed enhancements... mabdul 23:10, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Mabdul. Of course I tried waiting. I use Chrome at home and Firefox at work. Not a big fan of IE at all. What browser works best with the new script? I'd like to try it again. Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 15:18, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Interesting: I know that IE has major speed problems (especially before IE), but never heard of Chrome and Firefox problems. I test the script on my on using Opera and Firefox, seldom with IE9 (mostly for additional debugging), but as noted it has still some major problems. I might ask you again to test it (maybe in a few weeks) on a more regular basis if I have fixed some nasty stuff; Feel free to do a major switch if you recognize some AFC biography drafts which you want to accept - I need some serious feedback on the new biography accepting stuff. mabdul 07:54, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh wow! Thanks. You pointed something to me which breaks many stuff. Thanks. Everything which includes to add a comment might be broken through the big changes in the script. OK, I will fix this (I already know how), but this will take some days(?) and will fix many more problems (which were already on my list). If this is done, I will leave you a notice that the script is again usable for the daily usage! mabdul 09:15, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

mammoth studios

Abbythecat (talk) 01:46, 27 July 2012 (UTC)Hi, I saw my submisiion for Mammoth Studios was rejected. Could you check Ktr101's page? He had given me hints on how to improve the submission, and I thought by doing as he suggested the article would be accepted. Maybe you could explain, or offer help to get it accepted? Thanks. AbbythecatAbbythecat (talk) 01:46, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Please review the suggestions on the decline. Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 01:50, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Abbythecat (talk) 02:16, 27 July 2012 (UTC)Right ... so I put the reference in the article (as I was instructed to do) to get it accepted, and it's still rejected? Uh ... again, check Ktr101 under "Mammoth Studios" for our discussion. I don't know what more I can do, so if you two won't accept it, I'll forget it. For a brief momment I had renewed hope for Wikipedia! I was filled with hope instead of just being sad and wanting to quit. Now I'm thinking people are right not to even bother to submit anything. I wish you guys would make up my mind! Anyway, thanks. Abbythecat (talk) 02:16, 27 July 2012 (UTC)AbbythecatAbbythecat (talk) 02:16, 27 July 2012 (UTC) (A real confused cat at this point!).

I understand your frustration, Abby. give me a day or two and I will take a look at it and your discussion with KTR. Fair? As far as Wikipedia as a whole is concerned, don't lose faith. We are a small team of very dedicated individuals. I review hundreds of articles a week; some get declined and some become articles. Some are just downright (fill in the blank). My desire is not to frustrate you or other authors; I want to ensure the integrity of the information that the site presents to the public. We'll get your article fixed and submitted. Thanks again for your patience. Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 02:27, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Abbythecat (talk) 06:08, 27 July 2012 (UTC)More than fair, thank you. If you don't think my submission is noteworthy, please don't feel you have to accept it. I admire honesty. Please do what you feel is best. Again, thanks. Abbythecat (talk) 06:08, 27 July 2012 (UTC)Abbycat.

Txcrossbow,

Thank you for reviewing my page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Merchenta . This is my first time submitting a Wikipedia page so I appreciate your patience and guidance. My page was rejected for insufficient third party sources. I am working on editing these sources as we speak but I just wanted to see if there was anything else that needs review before I re-submit my entry. Thanks!

Hello, Steven. The article still lacks reliable resourcing. The reference you added only validates the awards, not the background information. Seek out news articles, trade journals, etc. See WP:RS

Maori Health

Hi You have declined my article on the book "Maori Education" on the grounds that it is not notable. I am not sure that the advice put up by Wikipedia on how to establish "notable" is very helpful here. The book is found in every New Zealand university library (indeed most have several copies). This is evidence that it is notable, and the library catalogs are accessible on line if someone needs to check. For example the University of Auckland (its catalog is called voyager) has 9 copies across various sites, including one on two hour loan. The book is also found in the public libraries of most, perhaps all, New Zealand cities (for example the Hastings library has a copy. Hastings is a city of 60,000). Even a google search finds the book is referenced in a number of university theses Notable is not the same as popular. I say that this book is notable and has been judged so by librarians (who work within tight budgets for new acquisitions) and university teachers. I can probably scratch up one or two newspaper reviews of the book but this would mean a bit of a search of newspapers from 2006/7. An encyclopedia is supposed to deal with specialisation. Maori education as a general field is something not covered at all comprehensively by Wikipedia. The article on Russell Bishop, one of the leading researchers,is a mere stub and there is no article on Te Kotahitanga his main area of research over the last ten years which is now being rolled out as teacher professioanl education over the whole country. One of the things users can expect of an encyclopeida is relaible "first call" information on specialty topics. This is something Wikipedia does well in the sciences (some of the maths articles are awesome) but less well in the Arts. Tonygandal (talk) 21:15, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Three To Power

Hello Tx, thank you for reviewing my article. First time editor/poster/everything here at Wikipedia, I really appreciate the site and your patience especially. The reason for the decline was that the article lacks citation. I will try to research Wiki standards and get the article updated tomorrow. Hope you're enjoying the Olympic ceremonies.

Tx, I have updated the article with three citations and a reflist section. Honestly, I have no issue with citing sources, but seeing as this is a article meant to provide a background and history of one of my own projects, I'm not sure where else citation is needed. Obviously I'm trying to keep it as objective as possible, again, basically the intention is just to provide a history of the project. If you have any advise on the construction or the content of the article please feel free to let loose on me!

Submission Declined - C.C. van Asch van Wijck

Dear Crossbow, it has been a long time since my writing has been checked by an other! So I am a bit rusty on following instructions I hope I understood what you wanted me to correct. Just to let you know that it is not ill will but mental thickness on my part and that American is not my first language. It might take a few trials before I am up to speed on Wiki writing and culture.

I am eager to have my article be authorized so that I may learn more about C.C. van Asch van Wijck from other Wiki users.

Review for BLP about Joey Avino

Hello, Stella.

Wanted to say thank you very much for getting to my newly created page so quickly (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Joey_Avino&diff=next&oldid=504962637). This is my first attempt at writing for Wikipedia, and as a 15-year freelance writer, it's a switch to go from all original reporting to no original reporting! I'm hoping my citations are correct. Please feel free to tell me how to improve as I'm hoping to submit more and more content to Wikipedia. Want to make sure I'm doing it right!

Question: When you make changes to something I've written, must I do anything to make sure you know I've seen them or approve of them? Or is it that once you make a change, it's there for good? I'm sorry for newbie questions. If you want to direct me elsewhere, please do.

I'm waiting on permissions to use a photograph from a website. When I get the copyright info straightened out I'll upload the file.

Many thanks in advance for all of your efforts...for all of us.

Submission Declined: Joseph Vincent

Hi Stella! First, thanks for reviewing my article on Joseph Vincent at Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Joseph_Vincent . I just had a few questions in regards to your declining it. For notability, Joseph Vincent has featured on NBC's "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" twice in 2010. Wouldn't that satisfy #12 on criteria for musicians ensembles of "Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network?" However, I will try to find more substantial sources. This is my first Wiki page, so any and all help is much appreciated!

Hello Txcrossbow! Thanks for reviewing my Wiki article. I'm a Wiki Rookie so please excuse my errors. Can you suggest what needs correcting to gain approval? Having a Wiki acticle that provides my correct bio information is very important to my music career.

When music fans seach web based music sharing sites like Iheart radio, the artist info available on that site is obtained via Wiki. In my case, when a fan searchs for (country artist) Mike Short Jr or Michael Short Jr, the bio information for Rap artist: Too Short appears. You can see my problem. lol

Hi Stella, thanks, I have been working to improve the Daniel Joseph Nadler article by adding the sleep and dream context, as you suggested, and I have pasted a draft of the new context on my talk page, with the new context added in bold.

Toni Mendez

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Toni_Mendez

I took your comments about notability in account and tweaked it with Rall's comments and the added commendations in the awards section to show she was a significant figure. When I resubmitted Phantomwiki declared it wasn't suitable with a link that was uninformative. I posted on Phantomwiki talk page "I disagree with the uninformative claim it doesn't deserve to be a Wikipedia entry. And the linked article is of no assistance. Who can I appeal this ruling to?" And all Phantomwiki responded was to post on my user page (not even my talk page) "If others vote for your article to be accepted, it will be. Best wishes." Could you re-examine the article? Ms. Mendez is as significant a pioneer in re media tie-ins and merchandising as Stephen Slesinger, who does have an entry. Thank you for your kind consideration.

Caligola (group)

Hi Txcrossbow! I´m writing this article about Caligola: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Caligola_(group) and I have a few questions and explanations: Kurier, Weser Kurier and Finaznachrichten are well-respected newspapers in Austria and Germany; monsterandcritics, laut.de, Fanlexikon and Moore To Be are very well-known online services/magazines. The group Caligola is very popular in central and northern Europe as many of the participating artists. The article is a translation of the published german article. I cannot give you any secondary sources becasue there are none existing yet except the german wikipedia article if you accept it as source, because the music project has been started very recently. All of the participating aritst are famous or known around here in Germany, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway etc.and are highly respected musicians and artists. Becasue I don´t know what exactly you need to have as source, I´ve begun putting them in and deleting them again, I´m very sorry for that and for sending it in three times (sorry I´m a newbie ;-)) I canoffer itunes, maybe find other newspaper articles from Sweden or Germany. concert reviews if you want to have them. And about the writing style - I have no idea of how to change it any further. All in all I´m a bit stuck, sorry!Andrea Schweinberger (talk) 21:00, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

It's ok if the references are in German. I don't speak German, but there are others who do and we will find one to check the piece for you. Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 22:37, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

To what and where do I need to cite references. I have the links posted in the ==References== section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blis Nemesis (talk • contribs) 02:42, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

See KLC for an example of how to add references and how to cite them inline properly. Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 02:45, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

I NEED HELP!

Hi Txcrossbow:

I have seen your critiques, and have recently added secondary sources to the article "J The S (Jake The Snake)", and saved it recently last week. However, I have not seen that the saved changes have been sent to you, and wanted to know if you have received the new edits. If so, I wanted to know if they are substantial enough to make it to Wikipedia. Thank you so much for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Link? Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 01:37, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

The link is Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/J the S (Jake the Snake). All you need to do is add {{subst:submit}} to the top of the article. Ryan Vesey 01:40, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorting out declined article

Hi Txcrossbow,

I submitted the following article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Occupy_OC#Occupy_Orange_County.2C_California

I previously submitted an article titled Occupy Orange County, but the formatting got all screwy so I tried to cancel that one. The text was supposed to be the same, but the article linked to above represents the intended text.

I can't figure out why it was declined (my first time creating an article, although I've contributed successfully in small ways to others).

The sources listed are almost all mainstream media, albeit some in the form of blogs. The writers of the blogs are regular reporting staff for the papers, and as such are held to the same standards. (I personally asked one of them about this.)

Please let me know how to get the article going,

Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.95.148.27 (talk) 04:41, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

In a nutshell, what do you want to do with these submissions... putting aside any reference issues as this can be resolved easily? Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 14:44, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

The submission needs more references. Do a search online or add library resources. Considering this article is about a god, there must be other sources you could reference? Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 21:19, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Help moving article

Good day. I have been reviewing articles for creation and just finished reviewing and editing an article entitled "Chagos Marine Protected Area". When I try to accept and move he article I get an error message indicating the article already exists. However, when I search for an article with that name in Wikipedia, there isn't one. I would be grateful for your help. Thanks so much. Snowysusan 08:33, 8 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snowysusan (talk • contribs)

There is a page, but it is a re-direct to Chagos Archipelago... Request the re-direct page to be deleted, then you can move the page. Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 21:24, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Minority (Gigi Gryce song)

Thank you for taking the time to review my fairly crummy article submission. In the process of writing that article and subsequently cleaning it up I was surprised that I found so little prose written about this song, yet that fact that so many greats have covered it seems to make it an important Jazz standard.

Jazz improvisers are highly skilled in a non-verbal art form that takes years (or a lifetime) to master. Although most great Jazz musicians are also great sight-readers and composers, they are generally not known for their academic prose (just open to any page of the Miles Davis autobiography to see what I mean). I think that so many great musicians covering this tune makes it an important part of music history. It would be hard to consider an improvisational cover of a song as anything other than the artist's personal statement on that composition. The fact that they keep the name of the original song they are covering is a form of citation. This seems to mirror the way authorities on other things make formal statements about them in books or in the news. Except in this case, it's done in music instead of prose.

Should improvisational covers of a song by great improvisers of the ages count as a quality source of information for a Wikipedia article? Or at least, how would one quantify the importance of a song, based on the number and quality of artists who have made their own artistic statement based upon it? Maybe that answers my question - it's a measurement. Still, it's frustrating that so little is written about this tune that I can use to source for an article. I might actually have to get off my butt and go to a library in a nearby city for some research, 'cause I'm not finding what I need on the web. Hence the reason for the article...

Egypt's Sarcasm Society article

Thank you for taking the time to review my article submission.

You recently declined my Wikipedia article on that link http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Egypt%27s_Sarcasm_Society&pe=1&

You said "Please consolidate duplicate content so that the submission can be properly reviewed."

it was duplicated by mistake and I fixed it. Please review my article again and hope you could accept it. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fredy samuel (talk • contribs) 06:29, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

You can add an external link to any facebook pages, but facebook cannot be used as a source for referencing. Please find other sources to verify the associated content. Alternately, you can remove any content that cannot be verified by third-party resources and mark the article as a stub. Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 16:35, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

GOCE drive word counts

Hi. Thanks for taking part in the July GOCE drive. I hope that you enjoyed it and will take part in the next one in September. You appear to have under-claimed the word counts of your copy edits; these should be the actual number of words in the article/section before you start editing it. I've corrected your counts for the July drive, so you need take no action. Regards, --Stfg (talk) 13:38, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! I stopped keeping track after a while. Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 18:50, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

With regards to my translation of an article

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Elenovo (Targovishte Province)

The article was written in English, the only thing not in English was some local names which did not have English pages to link to, hence I did not romanize the names. Everything else was translated in English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dntmgm (talk • contribs) 19:31, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Please translate the names. Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 19:33, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanx - Also do all names have to be Romanized as in no Cyrillic type in the article whatsoever? Dntmgm (talk) 19:38, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Elenovo (Targovishte Province) -- looks like the info box code got changed when the submission was declined; I have fixed it. Please translate as much as possible, use phonetic spelling if translation is not available. Remove all red links, too, please. Don't worry about the spellings in translations... they can be corrected as time goes on. You rock! Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 19:41, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for volunteering your time to help review new Wikipedia articles. I was expecting a longer turn around time, but it was fast!

I am a "bottom feeder"... lol. I prefer to preview the new submissions checking for style, structure and references and I leave the heavy lifting - the more intense articles - for the more experienced reviewers. I also review sandboxes and promote them to the next level for review if they are ready. Your article was very interesting; you laid out most of the article very well, so my part was easy. I got caught up reading and checking the references, so I improved it and moved it along. Best wishes with your ventures! Cheers! Stella ^BATPHONE_GROOVES 01:24, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Crest Secondary School

Hello Stella, thanks for reviewing my article. I have added in more verifying sources and resubmitted for review. I was wondering how is the article was not adequately supported by a speech archive from the Prime Ministers' Office. I also did it based on the method done by Pasir Crest Secodary School which had only one supporting source, i.e. their school website. Any tips will help....:)
