DYK for Jackie Davis

On 8 August 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Jackie Davis, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Jackie Davis, who had a bit part in Caddyshack, was an accomplished jazz organist, preceding the better known Jimmy Smith by several years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jackie Davis. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Template:Did you know nominations/Diversi

An editor said on the talk page that the hook is nothing but an advertisement, without even bothering to discuss it with you first. I asked him if he considered discussing it with you, but he didn't respond. Another editor pulled it from queue 2. SL93 (talk) 16:13, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I had second thoughts about DYKing this, it was motivated by Binksternet suggesting Diversi should have some coverage on WP, and I agreed and found some sources. Have a few DYKs in the queue anyway, so I'm not too fussed. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 16:19, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dougal Butler, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Trancas (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.

Hey Ritchie333, I saw you changed the CSD template to A7 and A3. I assumed you meant G3, so I changed it to reflect your previous edit. Hope you don't mind. -- LuK3 (Talk) 14:29, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I did indeed, cheers for that. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 14:32, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Made changes to earlier submitted page

I have made the changes on my page on Fourteen the play. I have incorporated some media references which prove the worth of the play. Please let me know if there are further issues. Thanks.

Theatremania (talk) 21:16, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you've taken my advice and come to the wrong conclusions - fundamentally I think the play could have an article on Wikipedia, but the article as it currently stands needs a complete rewrite from the ground up using the best sources you can find as a starting point. Have a look at The Mousetrap and how the article is structured, which may give you some ideas. On an unrelated note, I'd be interested to know why both you and Playdramabuff (talk · contribs) have both been posting to my talk page. Are you using two accounts? If so, you should stop as you can be blocked for sockpuppetry if an admin determines you are using them to deceive people. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:45, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have stopped using two accounts. I will try to improve the article as you have mentioned. Theatremania (talk) 21:38, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nikkimaria (talk) 15:23, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]Pearmund Cellars OutcomeRitchie333, thanks for your review and work in making a decision on the Pearmund Cellars page the I posted. I am new to Wikipedia and am working to establish more content on Virginia Wine, wineries and the people that have had an impact. Being new to the scene, I didn't expect the personal attacks among users, and appreciate your wading through all that. I still want to contribute, specifically for topics on Virginia wine, because I do believe that it is an industry that will continue to grow and because there are some very unique aspects to the agriculture/tourism/business balance. I started with Pearmund Cellars because it is close to home and I felt they had a significant amount of press that could be referenced. Do you have any recommendations for how I might contribute and build content on this industry while staying within the purpose and guidelines of Wikipedia. It looks like one thing is to contribute more articles and build my own credibility, so I'll work on that, but don't want to spin my wheels and have them all deleted. Any guidance and feedback is appreciated. Thanks.--Jlgorman24 (talk) 21:50, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]Hi. Well I don't think any of the attacks were specifically directed at you. The other thing to bear in mind that provided something is covered in at least one reliable source, it might be mentionable somewhere on Wikipedia, just not necessarily in its own article. Our article on Virginia Wine is quite small and can be easily expanded covering many vineyards in the state. Over here, I'd use any book by Oz Clarke as a source, being a notable wine expert. Just remember that improving existing articles can be a good alternative to starting new ones. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 14:23, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]DYK for Ram Jam Inn

On 18 August 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ram Jam Inn, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Ram Jam Inn allegedly got its name from a confidence trick pulled by Dick Turpin, that involved ramming and jamming thumbs in barrels? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ram Jam Inn. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

I just crossed paths with youon a user page where the work of Piero Scaruffi was being discussed. I have spent a little time looking at his work and want to share a few thoughts (original research, if you will) with you. One, his musical analysis seems to be all self-published and/or blog type internet postings. With very little in-depth or insightful material. then there are his writings on wikipedia. He claims that someone he knows was banned from wikipedia just for posting a link to his writings. I'd like to see that discussion, but the purported reason for the ban is that (these are my words, not his, but I think I have the sense of it right) wikipedia has been co-opted by the evil empire (multi-national corporations and various "suspect" governments) who pay folks to whitewash the entries about them and that the best thing to do is to inject intentional errors into wikipedia to discredit it. Believe what you will but I do feel that this is part of the backdrop of the discussion that we've stumbled into. On a semi-related topic, the picture of the cover of The Who album, My Generation (album) was an early posting of mine, pre digital camera, done by scanning it is several sections and then photoshoping it together. Well you do come to wikipedia for the inside story, don't you?

Well done! Message delivered by GA bot, on behalf of EddieHugh -- EddieHugh (talk) 22:37, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]The Good Article Barnstar Fantastic work by Ritchie333 to sort through a woefully tattered article, full of original research—a patchwork of many inexpert hands—and pull Hammond organ together for a GA. Congratulations! Binksternet (talk) 01:40, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]Articles for creation/AirClimI am trying to understand the rejection, to be able to improve the entry. "The references don't seem to refer directly to AirClim as an organisation, and why it's notable. Particularly, the last reference is a primary source, and unsuitable for sustaining notability. For books, it helps if you can cite the specific page number - click here for some advice on this." All references refer to AirClim as an organisation, but either use the full name "The Air pollution and climate secretariat" or the former name "The Swedish NGO Secretariat on Acid Rain". The sources mention AirClim as an influential NGO in European and International air Pollution politics, specifically in the LPRTAP process. I have also compared the AirClim page to one sister organisation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChemSec, which almost only use primary sources. Why is that accepted, but not in this entry? All references of books have page numbers. Kajsa Lindqvist (talk) 13:00, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]Hi. Firstly, the presence or state of one Wikipedia article has no bearing on whether another one in the same state is acceptable - it may be that nobody's read it and decided it's problematic. I think you answered your own question - the article should mention AirCon's previous names so it's easy to verify information. Make those changes and resubmit the article - it doesn't look too far off being accepted.
