The AFCBuddy

Hey, how did you create the AFCBuddy? Of course you'll think me as a fool. But seriously I like programing, But don't know how to do them. So please tell me!?--Pratyya (Hello!) 15:09, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hiyas there Pratyya,
As with other program AFCBuddy was created using a specific programming language that defines what it should do and what it should look like. There are hundreds if not thousands of different languages, each easier or more difficult to learn and each better or worse suited for a specific task or program. Note that you really only need to know one or a few of these languages, and that (Exceptions not included) programs are mostly written in just a single language.
AFCBuddy itself is developed in VB.net which is fairly easy to learn, commonly used and more then powerful enough to write virtually any desktop application one would create as a hobby. The development IDE i use to program it is the professional edition of Microsoft Visual Studio though this is mostly because i already had that - the free Microsoft Visual Studio Express would work just as well and frankly has little to no difference in use or performance for a simple program as AFCBuddy.
Afterwards using the IDE is mostly a matter of knowing \ learning how to program something that does what you want it to do. There are many books detailing VB.net and other programming languages, and there are large amounts of code examples on the Internet that explain or demonstrate a certain feature. In AFCBuddy's case the program mostly revolves around communication with the Wikimedia API - it asks for various XML outputs listing user edits, deleted contributions and similar, then processes this data (Counting AFC reviews et cetera) and finally it creates creating several containing the leaderboard / user edits et cetera which i then post manually. (It could do this automatically, but i prefer some manual verification at times). Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 21:05, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We're the Millers page

My submission was declined again with the following comment - IMDB and Warner's own press releases are biased and not third party peer reviewed. I find it absurd that Warner's own press release describing the film's plot is a biased reference. How is the plot of unreleased movies added then?

EDIT: Nvr mind I deleted the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nepte123 (talkcontribs) 00:50, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seems already handled, though you may want to ask the last editor who declined the article first (In this instance User:You Can Act Like A Man). I am happy to help if needed, but the last reviewer will had the most recent look at the article and should thus have the most accurate "I declined it because..." explanation.

Article Submission

Hey I submitted a blank article by accident, but have since completed it, I'm unsure if the renewed article has been recognised. The article is titled Reclaim Love. Has it been submitted? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jvirasami (talkcontribs) 12:22, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is, or rather - was, successfully submitted. As long as the yellow "Waiting for review" template is on a page, it is in the submission queue. It seems that the article was accepted after review in the meantime though - so well done! Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 18:47, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Art of Hosting and Harvesting

I was sent a message about my created page and copyright infringement. The page was at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Thje_Art_of_Hosting_and_Harvesting_Conversations_that_Matter&action=edit&redlink=1 but was deleted about 5 minutes after my email. I am the author of the item that was said to be the copyright infringement. What I mean is the I authored the both the document and the wikipedia page. How should I/do proceed?

Thanks!

Hiyas there,
Due to copyright laws any written content is automatically copyrighted by default unless the creator explicitly releases it under a free license such as GDFL or CC-BY-SA (These two examples are the licenses Wikipedia uses).

Hi there,

I can't seem to understand why I can't get the article reviewed successfully . You mentioned worthwhile reference point but isn't Gramophone magazine good enough as it is the number one classical magazine as well as the Royal Academy of Music and the album release mentioned? As it is reviewed in many other areas and this pianist is already mentioned on the Wikipedia list of classical pianists?

Best regards,

Simply stating that an entity wrote about a topic isn't sufficient - the references also need to be added ("Cited") in the article. Now, i could write a lot about that, but have a look at WP:REFB first. That page should cover all the basics, and is likely quite a bit more structured and to-the-point then any reply of mine. If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask though! Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 18:47, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question about my article submission

Hello:

You denied one of my pages, but I never did receive an email and Wikipedia is a bit challenging for me to navigate. And so, point is I didn't see what the reason/s is in order to fix. Please let me know, I am super lost. And voicing anything in the chat room has proven to be pointless.

Thank you.

The Neural Based Constitutive models

Dear Sir or madam, I have started to write an article on The Neural Based Constitutive models. This subject is quite new and the article is based on my several papers and on my thesis on the Swansea University. Please can you clarify me what do you mean when you write that the material of the article is copyrighted. That will be very helpful for me.

Hi Excirial,

I appreciate the feedback, but I am slightly confused. Not sure If I agree that the article is "advertising", but I resepct your view/synopsis.

I am a freelance writer and was commissioned by this company to create a Wiki entry - I do understand what Wiki is all about. As such, I took on the goal to write about the company, but only after reviewing entries of 'like' organsations in Wiki.

At this juncture, I assumed the entry would be valid, This sentiment was based on quite a few reviews, but specifically the article on the company "Relyon" (ref http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relyon).

I would appreciate more detailed feedback, i.e. what makes this article viewed as being advertising?

More basically, I need ro know whether there is any point pursuing an article for Integritie.

Appreciate your thoughts as I don't want to waste your or my time.

Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PMWhyte (talkcontribs) 01:20, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
