I am having issues with my laptop that make work on wiki very hard right now. Please understand my ability to respond or help will be very limited. 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. :)

Draft:Electric motor efficiency submission declined on 11th of August 2015 by user sulfurboy

Hi Sulfurboy, my trial to submit the article electric motor efficiency was declined several times, the reason for this have been quit different, this is most frustrating because I'm an new user. This time the reason for declining this article are titled: "wrong reference" I used the reference to the web site of BAM, which is the german "Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung", ministerial office for material research! the other reference refers to the European office for Low voltage switchgear, which is busy for the low voltage Industrie. both of them are highly official offices in European standardization, which I'm working for. my request is to accept this draft of article, it would be glad to leave a message at my talk page. thanks regards brennige (talk) 15:00, 12 August 2015

16:21:20, 24 September 2015 review of submission by JerrySteach



Sulfurboy: First, sorry, but I'm a newbie to starting Wikipedia articles, so please forgive any bonehead questions/comments. That said, with regard to the Virtium article....

I'm curious why the external links should be removed from the body, given the subjects 1) don't have their own Wikipedia page and 2) give depth to the overall content. For example the two Virtium founders and the source of the company's investment, cited in the third paragraph, have highly relevant industry experience but not their own presences on Wikipedia. Could you help me better understand that? Also, the supporting citations were not from press releases but those of actual published works, in journals and news sites.

Look forward to your replies. Thanks.

JS

JerrySteach (talk) 16:21, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of those are nesscesarily reasons for having external links within the body of an article. As state, they should either be removed or moved to an ex links section if needed to establish the subject. Sulfurboy (talk) 08:35, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

05:47:07, 27 September 2015 review of submission by Marchettimusic


I don't understand why this is not considered "Notable". I looked up the guidlines for notability and they are clearly met. A platinum single. Millions of digital downloads on MAJOR record label with very famous artists. THere are active wikipedia articles for composers much less accomplished. Is there an editor who can help me get this article up to standard? I see no reason why the subject should not be considered notable.

THanks

The person contributed to a platnium single and said label. I recommend reading WP:NMUSIC Sulfurboy (talk) 08:34, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I read this page.WP:NMUSIC The subject in question absolutely meets the criteria listed on this page for notability. Do you need more references? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marchettimusic (talk • contribs) 17:12, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Curious as to your reasoning behind rejecting the article. Attempted thorough citation.

What specific questions do you have?Sulfurboy (talk) 08:33, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up

I have been totally swamped. I hope I can get to making edits on the page you tagged ASAP. Thanks. ValerieUTW (talk) 08:18, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

16:55:12, 27 September 2015 review of submission by Goldencam


Hi I'd like a little more information on why this page was declined please. Is it that there weren't enough references or the references weren't adequate? As for this author's notability, I've come across multiple sources that list her as a "parenting expert." Should I list them all? Also, this stems from her being inadequately cited on the Grub Street, Inc. page. They link to Lynne Griffin, but that is a different person (actress). Any additional help you provide would be greatly appreciated. thanks! Goldencam (talk) 16:55, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 09:29:45, 28 September 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Super34640


My article has been rejected by you.I have added citations but you still rejected it.It says to add citations but I have included them. I have explained where my info comes from. I think this rejection is a mistake. Also my article has been rejected 3 times but i included the stuff they said I didn't have. Please explain what I still haven't done. Thankyou.
