Mudar Zahran

Hi. I have protected Mudar Zahran for 1 week, due to concerns about potential WP:BLP violations. You will be aware that the inclusion of various pieces of potentially libelous (albeit sourced) information has been included and reverted over the past few days, and that concerns have been raised about the reliability of those sources. I am hoping that all involved parties could try to reach agreement on the sources while the page is protected via discussion of the article's talk page. I am posting this message on the talk page of all editors that appear to have been involved in adding or reverting the information. TigerShark (talk) 23:30, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, I think I may have reverted a few edits on that article. Other than that I've had no involvement as far as I remember. --  Kethrus |talk to me  16:45, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

14:39:44, 21 September 2015 review of submission by Beverlz


Can quoting from obituaries and other articles in newspapers be accepted? Not sure if I can find an obituary for 1959. I only have the newspaper articles. I know of no other way to substantiate the information. I do have shipping records that show when he immigrated to US. I have his marriage certificate. I have copy of where his grave is. Are those the kind of things that will accepted? Beverlz (talk) 14:39, 21 September 2015 (UTC)Beverlz[reply]

@Beverlz: There are no references at all, and it appears to be written like an essay. And I don't believe text in an obituary may adhere to a neutral point of view, so quoting it may be a bad idea, and I'm also not sure if that would be copyvio. --  Kethrus |talk to me  16:40, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

R. Baxter Miller

Yes, THE subject edited the page that was established by SOMEONE ELSE. By objective accounts, R. Baxter Miller is one of the leading African American critics of the late 20th and early twenty-first centuries. See BLACK SOUTHERN VOICES (1992) OR simply Google the scores of web pages that document the importance of his scholarship. The author Raoullah (sp?) is a libelous graduate student with a vendetta. Rather than discrediting a well-respected scholar, he dishonors himself.

It's libelous incompetence, and, you know, it's really sad.

Speedy deletion declined: Global Cycling Network

Hello Kethrus. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Global Cycling Network, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is a credible claim of notability on this page. Whether or not this actually meets WP:GNG is not in the domain of A7. If you do not believe that this is a sufficient claim of notability, take it to WP:AFD. A7 does not mean "not notable" - it means "no claim of notability was made". That is clearly not true here. Thank you. Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 20:49, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Help

Hello Kethrus!

I am currently writing an article for my client Spark and am having a hard time finding reliable sources because most sources are not based off any database or "reliable" website. Any help?

Best regards! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SparkOfficial (talk • contribs) 02:55, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SparkOfficial: Quoted from WP:42: We need sources that are independent. Not: articles written by the topic, paid for by the topic, their website, or press releases. We want readers to be able to verify that Wikipedia articles are not just made up. So, please add footnotes to your article. If independent sources are not available - Spark is unfortunately not eligible for a Wikipedia article. Taking a look at WP:42 will explain this to you. Sorry! --  Kethrus |talk to me  03:00, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I have been through the submission process a number of times. I have asked for help and different editors have told me different things, and one even helped make some changes before the draft was rejected.

What specifically do I need to change in order for the draft to be accepted?

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.79.8.126 (talk) 16:44, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@67.79.8.126: I rejected it due to the lack of references. Both the references appear to be interviews and aren't entirely independent. --  Kethrus |talk to me  17:17, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted in this edit with no edit summary. That edit removed references. Could you please explain? Many thanks. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:59, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna Frodesiak: I reverted that edit because the link that was changed didn't exist. Please note I was not assuming bad faith (hence the no edit summary/warning). --  Kethrus |talk to me  01:02, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I understand. If you are referring to the Kingston link, then it is best to examine it and decide what to do with it. Being a redlink doesn't mean removing it. It could mean an article yet to be created, and that is okay. In this case, it was a space needed after the comma to make it blue. Also, your revert removed references. Finally, and edit summary either way is a good idea. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:09, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Anna Frodesiak: I didn't notice that, thank you for bringing it to my attention. --  Kethrus |talk to me  01:11, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No worries at all, my friend. Happy editing. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:13, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In future, please really, really, really try to inspect your edits and use edit summaries. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:16, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Anna Frodesiak: I checked that page and I was under the impression I was correct in doing that. At least that's what I got from the article saying AM as in After Malik. --  Kethrus |talk to me  01:18, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, seems I was wrong - I wasn't aware there was previous vandalism on that page which affected my editing. My mistake, sorry. --  Kethrus |talk to me  01:22, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No worries again. :) An edit summary like "under the impression that the article is saying AM as in After Malik" helps others know of your intention. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:24, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

reliable source other than companies own website

Dear Kethrus, thanks for the help. I have read the article on valid references and now I am aware of it now. Please note for the product in my article is the first release of the company so that I can’t find any references other to their official web. So here how can I prove the company's website as a reliable source to show the notability? Coy Tinker (talk) 08:16, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

15:55:46, 24 September 2015 review of submission by 67.79.8.126


Can you help me edit or show me where exactly I can make changes to get the draft accepted? It has been rejected quite a bit, even after some editors have made changes to the draft directly. Thanks.
