Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of One Day International cricket matches played by Bangladesh and Kenya, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hyderabad (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Redirects for Creation

If you had access to JSTOR or knew anything about art history, you wouldn't say something like "there's no evidence from any reliable source for your reason". In fact, I cited a source from a peer-reviewed academic publication, which you'll find in the references of the article (did you look at it?): Matthew, Louisa C. (1998). "The Painter's Presence: Signatures in Venetian Renaissance Pictures". The Art Bulletin. 80 (4): 618–48.. The very first Google hit goes to the German wiki's article on signature which cites both, and Google Books lists a ton of simultaneous occurences. Please create Fecit, a redirect to Pinxit, as soon as you can. 66.191.153.36 (talk) 15:20, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the 2013 WikiCup

Hello, Pratyya Ghosh, and welcome to the 2013 WikiCup! Your submissions' page is here. The competition begins at midnight UTC. The first round will last until the end of February, at which point the top 64 scorers will advance to the second round. We will be in touch at the end of every month, and signups are going to remain open until the end of January; if you know of anyone else who may like to take part, please let them know! A few reminders:

  • The rules can be found here. There have been a few changes from last year, which are listed on that page.
  • Anything you submit must have been nominated and promoted in 2013, and you need to have completed significant work upon it in 2013. (The articles you review at good article reviews does not need to have been nominated in 2013, but you do need to have started the review in 2013.) We will be checking.
  • If you feel that another competitor is breaking the rules or abusing the competition in some way, please let a judge know. Please do not remove entries from the submissions' pages of others yourself.
  • Don't worry about calculating precisely how many points everything is worth. The bot will do that. The bot may occasionally get something wrong- let a judge know, or post on the WikiCup talk page if that happens.
  • Please try to be prompt in updating submissions' pages so that they can be double-checked.

Overall, however, don't worry, and have fun. It doesn't matter if you make the odd mistake; these things happen. Questions can be asked on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck! J Milburn and The ed17 17:30, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

afc

You seem to have accidentally declined Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Wimon Sainimnuan as containing only plot. ut it's an article about a person. We use that reason for articles that are about a work of fiction, or a character , or an episode that merely descrive the plot. It is conceivable that an article about an author might talk only about the plot of one of their books, but that is not the case here.

As you did correctly note, there are some problems with the references. But I will give some more specific advice about that, because it seems the subject is notable. DGG ( talk ) 01:00, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

additional afc problem

The article Efficiency, Reform and Growth which you accepted from AfC on Dec 26 was a pure advertisement for the UK government. As an example: "The UK had one of the biggest budget deficits in the world when the Coalition government came to power in May 2010.[11] The government took the decision to make reductions to central government expenditure to enable fiscal consolidation, reducing expenditure by c£80bn by 2015. The government created the Efficiency and Reform Group in June 2010 in central government with the aim of carrying out a well planned and considered strategic programme of efficiencies, savings and reform, leading to targeted cost reduction and the transformation of public services." is just one example.

I have deleted it as G11, purely promotional, because that is the intent and the effect. If someone were to write a proper article bout that cabinet office, they would have to begin from scratch. The only actual information is the names of the minor officials of the department, which is not encyclopedic content.

I have found it advisable to keep an eye out for administrative jargon. Excessive use of it is normally promotional, copyvio, or both. DGG ( talk ) 02:53, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RE: AGF

Here's a screenshot of Twinkle with rollback options.

Hello Pratyya! Sorry for this late reply. I noticed your query in your CVU that you want to know something in regards of that AGF button in Twinkle. The AGF button for rollback is just same as those normal rollback for Twinkle. It just add an edit summary of "Reverted good-faith edits by USERNAME". This is also the same with the VANDAL option, it just add edit summaries that your edit reverts revision that constitutes vandalism. For the rollback button in the middle, it just a simple revert with edit summaries but not indicating if that revert was for good faith or vandal.

Happy New Year!!! ;)

Haha... thanks for that lovely greetings you prepared on my talk page. I really appreciated it. I hope that you had a very happy New Year too and I hope for you to be better and better. All best and well don for your CVU! 12:15, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Articles for Creation. Again

What makes you think that this is "written like an advertisement"?

Also, what makes you think that the Asian Tribune, "Lankadeepa News Paper", "Divayina News Paper", "Rivira News Paper" and "Mirror.lk News" are not independent of "the creator of the subject being discussed"? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:57, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Leccino

Hi Pratyya,

I just got the message that you had declined my article on Leccino today. For some reason, I had thought that I would have gotten an email, but now that I know that I should login, I will do so. I've received your comments and will work on improving the context of the topic. Thank you very much for you feedback! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArtisanalFoodLover (talkcontribs) 01:39, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How to improve Kieran O'Neill page

Hi Pratyya,

Thank you for reviewing my submission of the "Kieran O'Neill" page. I am new to authoring on Wikipedia so I appreciate your guidance.

Your decline note suggests the article needs more context before being accepted. Could you elaborate slightly? I am keen to make sure it conforms to Wikipedia's high standards, but I'm not sure exactly what to focus on when improving.

Thank you for your time!

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for your question. And I appriciate your spirit. First I'll suggest you to create a new account. That will be better to work with you. Now to the article. Your article needs more improvement. Like it needs Early life section,Personal Life section, Career section,External link section, Infobox,etc. I don't remind much at this moment. But please watch the Wikipedia:Writing better articles. It'll be helpful for you. For more help see Wikipedia:Notability (people).

Thanks for your question. I'm sorry I made a mistake with Articles_for_creation/Jay_Frederick. I wanted to review another but unfortunately Jay Fredrick was declined. I'm sorry for my mistake.

Hey thanks. No problem. In this case, can you therefore accept this article (i.e., Articles_for_creation/Jay_Frederick)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Transcode360 (talkcontribs) 13:41, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. It can't be accepted. If it is then it'll be deleted, I think. Not sure. Cause it needs improvement.Come to me tomorrow I'll try to explain you. I'm kind of busy now. Or if you think someone's there for you better than me then my opinion would be that user.So cheers.One last thing, before you post a message never left that unsigned. I've a page notice here. You see it.--Pratyya (Hello!) 13:47, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pratyya: thanks for your help with the Duffin Creek page. I'm a newbie and really trying to get to know how to post on a wiki. One thing that I find confusing is how to post a picture with an article. Many articles have nice high res pics on the right hand side, I'd like to do something similar with the page I created. I'm sure there is an FAQ, but I have yet to find one that simply explains it. I was directed to wikimedia...? Is it not as simple as posting a photo like on Facebook?

Thanks in advance, David

Feedback on Bridger Group article

Hello Pratyya,

Thank you for your feedback about the Bridger Group article I wrote. I was wondering if I could get more specific feedback about your comments. Since I found my information in (and referenced) oil and gas trade publications and local news sources from oil- and gas-producing regions, I believe my sources were neutral. Also, when looking at some other entries that chronicle the history and development of players within a particular industry, they were similarly neutral in tone as the entry I wrote. (For example, see Onvia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onvia - within the data/business intelligence industry.)

Best regards, Dane28 Dane28 (talk) 19:49, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The RFC for TAFI is nearing it's conclusion, and it's time to hammer out the details over at the project's talk page. There are several details of the project that would do well with wider input and participation, such as the article nomination and selection process, the amount and type of articles displayed, the implementation on the main page and other things. I would like to invite you to comment there if you continue to be interested in TAFI's development. --NickPenguin(contribs) 02:35, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Qorus Software

Hi Pratyya,

Thanks for your contribution/comments to my recent submission for Qorus Software (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Qorus_Software). I think I need a little help though - you declined the submission based on evidence of the subject's notability, which is fine, but I thought the references I added would have been ok? They're from reputable online news websites, which are completely non-affiliated with us here at Qorus Software.

Can you please advise the best course of action for me to take in order to get this article accepted and published please?

Thanks, David — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djclothier (talkcontribs) 10:16, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually all three of your numbered references in that submission are reproducing the same press release. Press releases are not reliable independent sources, and do nothing towards proving the notability of a topic. Unless independent reliable sources can be found to prove the notability of the topic, the article will not be accepted. See WP:42. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 12:02, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Pratyya,

I noticed that Bonkers the Clown was reviewing your recent AFC contributions, and saw that he was marking a great amount of them as failed. As a result i decided to check a few myself to see what was going on, and having looked into this for a bit i cannot help but agree with his judgement.

I don't mean to be rude, but a whole lot of the reviews (The vast majority) is either declined under the incorrect category, or even plain wrong. Both bonkers and myself left commentary at your review page. May i request that you reviews those alongside the Reviewing instructions before continuing to review submissions? Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 14:24, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To add to this: I went trough all the reviews on your review page, and ended up reopening 34 of them due to them being closed with an incorrect rationale. This doesn't mean that all those pages should have been accepted, but it does mean that the pages creator received an incorrect message regarding what to do with their page. This doesn't mean either that the other reviews were fine though. Some were already resubmitted for another review, others had been accepted in the meantime, and some others were a waste of time to reopen because they wouldn't be accepted anyway (even though the rationale was incorrect).
I would like to assume good faith here, but based on what i saw at least past of this seems caused by reviewing with the intent to get as many reviews as possible for the backlog drive. Summarized:
  • Multiple reviews were declined as "No Context", even though they had more then sufficient context to determine the subject of the article.
  • Multiple reviews were declined as "Too short". Stub article's are often only one line in size, and are perfectly acceptable.
  • Multiple reviews were declined as "The article needs to have <a plot section><a biography section>" et cetera. This is by no means required by any policy, not is it a decline reason. (For example)
  • You declined multiple article's with reasons that make no sense. Peters,_North_Dakota is a geographical place, not a dictionary definition. Pink champagne is a music album, not dictionary definition.
  • The article regarding Sergio Michel states winner of over 300 Gold Medals, winning Gold at the XXI Central American and Caribbean Games and three Bronze medals at the 2011 World Masters Athletics Championships., yet you marked him as not notable.
  • You accepted the "Wiebusch" article, which was a literal copy of the Tasmanian Devil article. Every source said that, every picture said that, every line except the first contained "Devil". If you had read the article, you couldn't have missed that.
I can go on like this, but i presume this would bring the point across. I hope you understand that this amount of errors is quite simply not acceptable in any way. The backlog drive is not an initiative where you can get a high score and earn a medal - it is reviewing article's that other people might have worked on for hours. AFC editors are often completely new and won't know the way around Wikipedia. Flat out declining them with an incorrect reason means that they won't know what to do with the article - best case they ask, worst case they just give up meaning we lose both a potential article and editor.
If these are honest mistakes, i would still strongly suggest that you cease reviewing AFC article's for the time being as the mistake ratio is simply to high - i hope you understand that results like these cause more harm then good. If these are caused by an "I want a medal" drive, i would ask that you spend an order of magnitude more time while reviewing an article. Mistakes are always possible (I make them as well), but any fault-to-good ratio should be reasonable. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 21:59, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

declined page

I was declined an entry on wikipedia and would request another review. The topic was Aylestonians RFC which is an amateur rugby union club in Leicester England. At the moment the club is the only inner city club with its own ground and is trying to continue its development as well as acknowledge its history. The club has been established since 1921 and has had players that have helped to change the game over the years. I have included extra references and made minor changes. Also I do notice that other rugby union clubs from Leicestershire have wikipedia pages and would find it extremely unfair if we were not allowed the same. Examples are Leicester Lions and Aylestone Athletic. Aylestonians are also mention on Leicester Storms page and Aylestone Athletics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaron1477 (talkcontribs) 20:16, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
