I again will be working almost the entire weekend and will probably not be available till Monday. Please be patient in my responses. If it is an immediate issue please seek out an admin. If you have an AfC page that you think is ready again, just go ahead and re-submit it so another editor can see it. Thanks.


See an issue needing an answer on my talk page that you could help with? Feel free to answer!

I will absolutely not respond to your comment unless you follow the following simple rules in placing a comment on my talk page.

  • 1)You have read my FAQ below and haven't asked a question answered by it.
  • 2)Appropriately post a new section (see button/link above) at the BOTTOM of the page
  • 3)Do not ask me to just generically fix your page without a specific question, I'm not interested in fixing everyone's page for them.
  • 4)You need to hyperlink to the page you are discussing, this is probably most important. If it's remotely difficult for me to figure out what page you're talking about, I'm not going to waste my time.

Sorry if those four things seem harsh, but I review and patrol hundreds of pages a day and can't keep up with all the replies.

FAQ You declined a page I submitted for AfC and have a question... If that question is directly answered by one of the hyperlinks posted after I reviewed it, I will not answer you. You'd be surprised how often it happens. The posted links are posted for a reason!

Why did you not leave a comment when you tagged my page? I typically won't unless I think the issue may be unclear. New page patrol is overwhelmed (~50,000 pages to be reviewed with only ~1000 being currently reviewed every week) and if I spent the time to explain every tag, I wouldn't be able to review even a third of the pages I do now.

I completely disagree with a tag you placed on my page!! If you disagree with a tag, please state why on the article's talk page and leave a note here for me to review it. If you think the tag was a blatant error on my part (it happens, sorry), then please revert the edit and leave me a message letting me know that was the case.

I don't see a conversation or message I posted on your talk page... Check the archives, conversations are typically automatically archived after five days. If you wish to comment on an archived section, please move it back to the main page. I do not regularly monitor my archive pages.

Why do you keep tagging my page? Do you have something against me? No. Occasionally after you address certain issues, more issues will arise on my re-review. For example, let's say I first tagged your page for having no references, after you add references I may go back and add a tag for no in-line citations (which would have been irrelevant before there were references). Also, if there are multiple, small issues with your page and I can see you're new, I might just tag a few things at a time instead of overwhelming a new user. Please do not take any of my tags personally. I do not target people. I go straight down the list on the new page patrol. I do however regularly watch pages I review, which is why you might see me come up often in edits on your page.

Will you help me fix issues you tagged on my page? Typically not, unless I need a break from new page patrol. Why? I used to do this and it got to be very overwhelming. I feel the actual new page patrol needs my help more than helping to fix things on already existing pages (not to mention there's others much more qualified than me for most fixes suchs as categories, copyediting, etc). It doesn't hurt to ask though, but please do not be offended if I do not help or don't respond. The tea house is your friend, use it. Note: I will always clarify on tags, though. All in all,don't hope the house will build itself!

I would like to give you an award, thank you note, or barnstar... Thanks! You're awesome. And I always love the support. But please put it on my user page, not my talk page. :)

Hi Sulfurboy: There’s something about the footnotes that I’m not getting. I studied the tutorials, and thought I fixed the problem. I also checked out some other articles of the same kind for a model. My idea was to move all the reference information to the footnotes: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Norbert_Francis&redirect=no Help me out so I can find a solution to this last hurdle. I realize that there are a number of different methods to use, as long as the one I use is consistent throughout the article. Is there still an inconsistency that I haven’t noticed? Thanks, Bobowikibobo ˜˜˜˜

Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners, if that doesn't help I would advise checking with the tearoom. A link to it can be found on your talk page. I'm admitally awful with formatting references myself. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:40, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Can you please help me in figuring out which part of this resembles an advertisement. I've taken out all opinion, sited everything and kept it objective. Any direction is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks again! Steve

A wiki page shouldn't just be a list of bullet points of acheivements of a company. It should be formal, neutral and in prose form detailing what is most important about the company and why it is notable enough to warrant a wikipedia article. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:41, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sulfurboy,

We have recently tried to get a profile registered with Wikipedia which has been declined by you. We are struggling hard to understand the idea of not imposing any peacock words and avoid incorporating anything which is not upto wikipedia mark. We have also reviewed the links provided by you to better understand the encyclopedic content, however, we are still not able to revise our profile content. It has been declined once again.

Dear Sulfurboy, would you be able to specify what exactly we have to re-write in the given content? We would be grateful if you could refer to our content and highlight the points in the profile.

We look forward to hearing an affirmative response from you.

Best,

Who is we? Are you writing this on behalf of a company? Sulfurboy (talk) 05:28, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sulfurboy,

Its the Web Developer and a Content Writer. We are working with Mr. Walid Mushtaq as his team and trying to develop his Wikipedia profile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FarhanRoots1 (talk • contribs) 05:13, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You need to disclose this in the article's talk page. We highly discourage the writing of subjects which you might have a conflict of interest. Also, if you are a paid editor you need to disclose this as well.Sulfurboy (talk) 23:42, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Resubmission of Sypro_Management_Limited

Hi Sulfurboy,

I've followed your last few bits of advice, removed the irrelevant referenced and sourced another couple of relevant and notable ones

Let me know if there's anything else that needs changing.

Initial feedback on Sacred Attention Therapy article

Hello Sulfurboy,

Thank you for your review of the article "Sacred Attention Therapy" (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Sacred_Attention_Therapy&redirect=no). The feedback you left for me was as follows:

"This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please see the guide to writing better articles for information on how to better format your submission."

When you say "This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter," what does that mean, specifically? Can you be more specific with your help/guidance?

I have reviewed the guide to writing better articles and see much of what is offered there incorporated in my article. So I'm not sure where I am not following these guidelines.

Any, more specific guidance/help you can provide will be helpful. While I am new to Wikipedia, I did watch some tutorials, researched my article a lot, and spent time reviewing what might be deemed good articles...all before drafting my article in sandbox.

Thank you, Sulfurboy, for your continued assistance.

Sincerely,

Robert

What is meant is that a layreader unfamiliar with the subject can see the article and understand what it is about. Thanks. Sulfurboy (talk) 00:27, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Sulfurboy taking the time to respond to my message. Can you provide any suggestion for how to provide appropriate 'context?' I have followed the link to 'context' you previously provided and the guidelines do not provide me with any direction to take. Are you suggesting, for example, that I provide more background in the introductory section? Or does something else need to be changed in the article to provide 'context?' — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobMeagherSAT (talk • contribs) 01:23, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your review. According to your suggestion I have supported my article using proper references. I have also developed it further to make it complete. I wish it will be included in article space now. This is my first article in Wikipedia. So, please suggest me to improve it further.

Hello

As far as I know the footnotes are operational and sound. I have tested them and they seem to properly link to the references at the bottom of the page. Can you please elaborate or point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

15:35:11, 5 August 2015 review of submission by 10squared


Hi Sulfurboy - I sent you a message yesterday, but I realized I didn't include the link to my article draft. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jacob_York_(2)) Thank you again for taking the time to review it. Per your recommendations, I removed all information that does not have supported wiki-approved references. I also re-drafted the article so that it no longer resembles the IMBD profile and I added additional inline citations throughout. Please let me know if there is anything else! Is this enough verifiable information for a stub? Thanks again!

New listing for The Caring Neighbors Network 501(C)3 Charity

Hi -

Do you have any idea when this will be reviewed? We are being considered for a grant but they would like to see the organization listed. Seems odd but that's what they asked us.

Review of submission by smon881

Hello - I saw that you declined my draft for Perr&Knight. I added a few verifiable sources and removed some information that I couldn’t cite. I am uncertain what other edits to make, is there any way you could provide more details about which area of the article does not reach the notability requirement? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smon881 (talk • contribs) 17:35, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

22:21:48, 5 August 2015 review of submission by Rmark1030


On the topic of the draft for an article User:Rmark/Alberto Gómez Gómez, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Alberto_G%C3%B3mez_G%C3%B3mez). The recommendations were 1) use footnote citations. 2) reduce the size of included pictures.

There were footnote citations to begin with, but, in good faith I guessed that the problem might be that there weren't enough of them. So I doubled the number of citations -- trying to guess what might have seemed contentious and supplying the appropriate references. That didn't satisfy, apparently (except that my picture file reductions must have been acceptable because it wasn't repeated as an suggestion).

It's unclear what it is (or isn't) about my citations that fail to meet Wikipedia standard. I've pored over the various illustrations that Wikipedia offers on this topic and believe that I'm following the rules. My sources are (for the most part) prominent newspapers from Bogotá, Medellín and Cali, Colombia as well as a few from the Daytona Beach News Journal. All sources directly support the points and/or contain the quotes used in this article. Admittedly one or two citations stem from a social media source, but they are where direct, disinterested third party quotes were made, the only source to draw from and easily verifiable -- with the only caveat being that one has to scroll down, in one instance, or to allow a video segment play itself to completion in another instance. Also, admittedly a great deal of the source material is written or spoken in Spanish -- but then, the artist referred is Colombiano by birth.

Please advise. Thank you. ˜˜˜˜

10:17:00, 6 August 2015 review of submission by LittleMishaps


Hello

You have recently declined an article I submitted for Modo - Circus with Purpose on the grounds that it wasn't written in the formal tone of an encyclopaedia article and was potentially one sided and wasn't referenced properly. I have reread the article but I'm still struggling to change it.

Could you please let me know which bits of the article are the problem? Or give me example paragraphs or write something so I can see how it should be written? I'm a big supporter of Modo and I think having a Wikipedia page would benefit the company quite a lot so any help or advice you can give would be wonderful.

I look forward to hearing from you

LittleMishaps (talk) 10:17, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's muiltiple examples, like "Modo uses circus because it’s exciting, different and has clearly defined achievements within it. " Sounds like an advertisement more than a formal, neutral article. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:27, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

10:57:00, 6 August 2015 review of submission by ahurvitz2

Ahurvitz2 (talk) Dear Sulfurboy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Roberta_Grossman

Thank you for your comments and corrections over the past few months as I write my draft.

On August 5, 2015 you left a note: "Comment: It should be noted that the page creator has stated they are being advised by Grossman on how to create the page. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:37, 5 August 2015 (UTC)"

I am writing the page and using only sources that are factual and objective. Grossman is not advising me.

As a matter of fact, I am trying to edit the page to make it as neutral as possible.

I hope that my latest draft will pass inspection.Ahurvitz2 (talk) 17:54, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You state right here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk#16:51:54.2C_5_August_2015_review_of_submission_by_Ahurvitz2 that you are working with them? Kind of silly to lie about this when it's on record. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:31, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A cheeseburger for you!

A snack for when you're away from the computer. I'm making enchiladas with roasted vegetables and a creamy poblano sauce, but there's no icon for that (I kind of invented them, I think).

Pastor Southie 08:24, 7 August 2015 (UTC)


This page had been manipulated and edited so many times, that I was alerted of this and this is the 4th time! Wiki had protected the original contents... Afterwards, others from other countries could "add to" but could not take away. Too many people were "claiming themselves as founders and when I returned, it was so corrupted that which Wiki had protected the original contents was "hijacked" at some point; for the last time this was edited and finally protected by Wiki was actually in 2006 - I do apologize from earlier about the date when I had to clean up the entire page for the 3rd time. This page is very old in Wiki....

To be honest, I'm not sure at all what you're talking about. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:11, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Janus Pannonius Grand Prize for Poetry

Hi Sulfurboy,

Thanks for the comments on the draft of Janus Pannonius Grand Prize for Poetry. The article was indeed copied from an outside source but the user who copied it has the permission of the original author, Mr. Géza Szőcs, who sent an e-mail to permissions-en[at]wikimedia.org stating that he releases it under Creative Commons licence. Can you please help this article get approved? Thanks. – Alensha talk 10:48, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The person who sent it in, I presume knows how to go through the proper channels for this to be confirmed. When this is approved by a reviewing admin it should show on the page. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:12, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Danielle Barnett - Submission Declined

Hello,

I have recently had the same decline message from my previous message because of my reference isn't adequate for notoriety for the person I am talking about. I have used at least one reference from the golden rule? can you explain why I have been declined again and possibly help me? I am new to this.

Hey! I have been trying to upload this page for a couple of months now and have been rejected a few times already. This last time, the article submitted had been pruned substantially from the earlier versions and every line had a reference. Would it be possible to know which specific line triggered the reject? Or which portions are acceptable, so that we can work on that as a guideline. Thanks!
