Declination reason for Draft:Kruchkov, Kozma Firsovich

Draft:Kruchkov, Kozma Firsovich you gave your reasoning in the edit summary as not meeting BLP requirements, but the subject has been dead 90 years. I'm not saying it should have been accepted, but the edit summary might be confusing to the submitter. GraemeLeggett (talk) 09:23, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi GraemeLeggett - I agree that could be confusing. The actual decline comment on the draft page, however, doesn't mention the blp issue, just simply inline referencing. Can't change the edit summary, it's a canned response when you decline an article due to inline citations (I guess since that's the usual case). The link on the declination points to the correct policy, which is inclusive of all in-line requirements, not just those for blp's.

Lloyd Newson

Hey,

Thanks for reviewing the article Draft:Lloyd Newson, and for giving me some pointers on it - looking forward to amending it to a high quality so it can be approved in the future. I'll take a look at how to write better articles and the manual of style, as well as the citations, but if you have any specific examples you could give of language that would be much appreciated.

I also saw your comment on notability - I've had a look at the notability guidelines and I'm pretty sure the subject matches them. To the main issue of notability, Lloyd Newson has seen reviews or features in many news outlets, including The Guardian, The Independent, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The London Evening Standard, The Financial Times (UK), and internationally, The New York Times, Le Monde, The Australian, The Irish Times, Kurier, Der Standard, Neues Deutschland, Le Figaro. He has also seen numerous independent academic articles, as well as biographies etc in published books (as footnoted in the article). Additionally, for creative figures the below criteria are offered:

• This person is regarded as an important figure and is widely cited by peers or successors - Wikipedia itself has various articles on dancers which cite Lloyd Newson as an influence; there are also various books referencing him (cited in the article) and more in-depth academic papers which I can also add.
• This person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique - Wikipedia's own page for Physical Theatre cites Lloyd Newson specifically and the style of his work as being interrogative of physical theatre's usual style, which has helped him to define his own style.
• 'The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. - As mentioned above, there are numerous independent periodical articles (I can add more of these as references, although they do not specifically relate to the article), and also reviews of work in a wide variety of less academic locations such as The Independent, The Guardian, The New York Times, Le Monde and many others.
• The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. - To point b, Newson's work has had extended runs at major internationally regarded theatres, such as the National Theatre in London and Théâtre de la Ville in Paris, and to c, critical attention can be proved by the awards he has received, and the reviews in numerous UK specific and international news outlets, as well as being awarded an OBE for services to contemporary dance.

Look forward to your reply and to improve the article for submission! — Preceding unsigned comment added by JNL1990 (talk • contribs) 09:28, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi JNL1990 - To take your points in order: #1 - It's a difficult one to show in a short article like this. The current status of the article is far from showing this. #2 - Not even close to meeting that criteria. People in that article who would meet that criteria would be Etienne Decroux, Antonin Artaud. He is simply a practitioner. #3 - he has a niche, but doesn't appear to come close to meeting this criteria either, although it's difficult to research with the citations in the shape they're in. #4 would appear to be your best shot at meeting the criteria. Good luck with the re-write, I'll let another editor review it next. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 04:23, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

St Mary's Parish Church, Slough

Hi Onel5969, Thanks for reviewing the article, I agree that it was in need of some references which were more independent. I have now added some. My reason for creating the article is simply that I live locally and was surprised that a historic land mark so visible on the slough skyline did not have a page. It is also mentioned in at least 10 other Wikipedia pages and so I decided to create the page partly because of the visibility and history of the building and partly to tie together all the references to it on other pages with links to more information on a single page. Again, thanks for prompting me to improve the article with independent sources. Prosthetic Head (talk) 10:46, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

ProstheticHead The article looks interesting but could use more sources. SwisterTwister talk

Hi Prosthetic Head - There are literally hundreds of thousands of local landmarks that are of interest to the local populations, but don't reach the notability requirements of a Wikipedia article. The sources you've provided are fine to verify the underlying facts included in the article, but don't go to notability. What Wikipedia requires is at least 2-3 in-depth articles about the subject from independent reliable sources. And in this case at least 2 of those sources should not be from a local newspaper. Hope this helps. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:46, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Onel5969,

This is the first article I've ever attempted to create on Wikipedia. I've read the guidelines, and don't fully understand the reason I was denied for "notability". I linked to several well-known publications. Could you please advise on what additional citations would help the article get approved?

Thanks so much! David

Dpolinow (talk) 15:01, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Dpolinow The article seems interesting but needs more sources preferably third-party. SwisterTwister talk 23:31, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Dpolinow, I agree with SwisterTwister. The SI article is okay, but since it's mostly an interview with the editors, it's considered a primary source, and therefore can't be used for notability. The Mail article is only a brief mention, and the other 2 are not independent. If the SI piece had been a simple article, rather than an interview, that would have been a great reference. 2-3 like that and you've shown notability. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your feedback. I regret to say that I'm a bit surprised. First, I did not get this kind of feedback on a previous version. The current version did what the previous editor asked to do. Secondly, while I agree that the contribution should be written in neutral and controllable terms, I fail to understand why this is not the case. FOr as far as I can see, the current version does not contain evaluative comments and, moreover, there are many references that corroborate the statements.

Perhaps the editor would like to five a few concrete examples. Thanks for your assistance

Mercury Capital Advisors

Hi there, I am wondering why the Mercury Capital Advisors page has been flagged for notability. If you look at the Reuters rankings, the firm was ranked only behind Credit Suise and ahead of Goldman Sachs for private placements. There are also a few independent articles (one from WSJ) that talk about Mercury. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gtownrower23 (talk • contribs) 22:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gtownrower23 - I can't find the article, and Mercury Capital Advisors doesn't seem to exist. However, in general, most likely because the current sources in the article don't show that notability. When an article gets flagged for notability, it means in its current state, it needs more references to show the notability. If I thought it wasn't notable, I would had nominated for deletion, not simply flagged it. The flag is simply to let other editors know it needs work in a certain area, in this case, references. Hope that makes sense. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:46, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Draft guidelines

Hi. I have a question regarding the draft process. Specifically, where are the guidelines or policies that dictate how a draft article is accessed? Thanks. Mitchumch (talk) 01:36, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Antonin Artaud - Not sure what you're asking. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 04:24, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm also not sure what the question is...are you asking how we users access your article (usually we see it from Category:Pending AfC submissions)? SwisterTwister talk 07:21, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Sorry. I understand your confusion. I didn't mean accessed. I meant assessed. Where are the guidelines or policies that dictate how a draft article is assessed? Mitchumch (talk) 13:34, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Ah, Mitchumch - That makes much more sense. Articles are assessed by a variety of measures. This is the order in which I assess an article: First, is the subject notable. General notability requirements can be found at WP:GNG, or WP:BIO for people. There are further guidelines for specific categories of people (scholars, actors, etc.), which can be found at links on the BIO link above. If the article asserts enough notability, I then check to see if the references meet the guidelines. In other words, are there at least 3-4 in-depth articles about the subject from independent, reliable sources, which go beyond a specific region. Then I look at the tone of the article. Does it have a WP:NPOV issue? Is it an advertisement? There's also structure to be taken into account. As well as other tonal issues: is it an essay, or written in an informal fashion? You can find stuff out about layout/structure at MOS:LAYOUT. WP:ISNOT is another good source for figuring out how to assess. Another big issue is copyright violations and close paraphrasing. Finally, there are the easy declines: in a foreign language, obvious jokes, vandalism, blanks, etc. I hope that makes sense to you. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:47, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. That definitely helps me better understand the process. Mitchumch (talk) 15:04, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Acceptance of reposted article

I see that you accepted a draft article on Jason Binn. When you did so, presumably you were aware that an article by the same title had previously been deleted as a result of an AfD discussion. (If you weren't, then I suggest in future you should check for any deletion log for any article before you create it.) Even without any previous deletion history, I would have found your acceptance of the draft open to question, as it was distinctly promotional in tone, and its sourcing was largely to sources which were not independent (e.g. his own magazine, a press release, etc) or did not give substantial coverage of him. However, in light of the previous AfD deletion, you should have been particularly cautious about accepting the draft. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:20, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi JamesBWatson - Haven't seen your name around the AfC articles (not a big thing, there are a lot of articles, so simply may not have run across, or remembered you), so not sure you're aware of the process. When you click to review the article, a drop down menu appears, giving you 3 options. Above those options is a notification if the article has been deleted. If you click on that, it gives you the reasons and when it was deleted. When that option appears, I make it a point to take a look at the deletion history. Sometimes it's quite a bit in the past, other times it was a simple housekeeping deletion of a redirect to make way for a page. And then other times it was due to an AfD discussion. I don't remember this article specifically, since I look at quite a few in the AfC process, but my guess is, for whatever reason, that drop down option regarding prior deletions did not appear. But folks do make mistakes, so it is always possible I simply missed it.

Speaking to the promotional tone of the article, again, I can't remember it, so not sure. However, after simple lack of notability, promotional tone (either an NPOV issue or a blatant advertising issue) is my next most prevalent rationale for declining an article. My understanding is that non-independent citations may be used for references for verifiability purposes, so they are not an issue, if there are enough independent RS which go into the subject in-depth enough to establish notability. Of course, non-RS are never acceptable. But thanks for stopping by, I do appreciate your warm, non-accusatorial tone you've extended in the spirit of collaboration which is the essence of Wikipedia.

Depauw Fire Company

Hi, my most recent submission of Depauw Fire Company was declined on the basis of notability and reference issues. I went to the links provided to help with revision. My question is, 5 of the 7 references I used in my article were from newspapers, which appear to meet criteria as an acceptable reference for notability. Are the other two references (they came from obituaries of the founder) the only problem that caused the decline of my most recent submission? Thanks, John ----

74.124.171.179 The article could use more sources talking about it. SwisterTwister talk 17:45, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi John. SwisterTwister is correct. While the article does currently use newspaper references, they are all from local papers, which doesn't necessarily establish notability, just local notability. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:50, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Hmmm, I don't think there are any more significant references, at least that I can find on the web. Any options for inclusion at all? Is there something called a "stub" or something like that? This organization was an important starting point for rural EMS in Indiana in the 1960s, started by a bunch of college student volunteers, but I don't think anyone has written a book or journal article about rural EMS history in the US. I have made contact with some of the founding members on linked-in and could provide statements from them? Any suggestions at all for acceptable changes, or is this thing dead? Thanks, John ----

Christopher Sweeney - Wikipedia Page

Hi there,

I noticed you rejected my submission for the page on 'Christopher Sweeney'. I've been trying to get this page approved for sometime, trialling out various techniques and using a number of notable articles. Please could you give me some pointers on how to get this page approved as I feel at a loose end with it all. I was told recently that I could use fewer articles as long as they were strong, independent sources - therefore, I assumed the articles I had included would suffice.

If you have any advice on the matter, that would be really great.

Thanks, Ellen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.52.38 (talk) 15:19, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Even though the above was sent from an ip address, I'll assume it's from the article's creator, Ellenannecrane. If so, please remember to sign in and sign any comments with the 4 ~; that makes communication easier. To establish notability, we require anywhere from 2-4 in-depth articles from secondary, independent, reliable sources. While your sources appear to be both reliable and independent, the articles are primary sources by definition, since they are interviews. The information in them comes from the subject of the article itself. While these can sometimes be used to verify facts in an article (and only sometimes, since they are usually not fact-checked by an uninvolved party), they can't be used to establish notability. What we need are articles about the subject, which don't involve the subject, if that makes sense to you. Similarly, sites like imdb, vimeo, youtube, linkedin, etc. (all of which have no editorial oversight) are of no use - for either verifiability or notability. Google news can be a good resource for finding articles, put his name in quotes and add the word director after the quotes. It's a common name, however, so you'll have to dig. This article would go to notability, but you'd probably need about 5 of those type, since it's so short. Hope this helps. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:03, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

I had re-submitted an entry "Danladi Umar" for your review.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Danladi_Umar&redirect=no

It was previously rejected due to "The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes." I had also referred to the guidelines below as you had pointed out -

I had added more inline citations and references in the entry and the footnotes.

Hi Escravoes - First, please always remember to sign your comments with the 4~, that helps communications. While you have added citations, you still need more. Virtually every assertion you make in the article, especially since it is somewhat contentious, needs a reference. Early life has no references, the opening of Career is uncited; in the allegations section, it is relatively well referenced, but certain facts definitely need sources, e.g. "Umar did not turn up on that date". In the assassination section, you have a quote which is uncited. These are just examples, but I hope they help give you direction in the way to go. Also, please format your citations, that helps reviewers a lot. The first one is in the proper format, and you can find more information at WP:CIT. Ciao.

Dr Thelma C Davidson Adair

I received your email, and article rejected. I thought I addressed the issue. I know information about clinic named after her is not included. In the need of clarity from Dr Adair in regards to the clinic and its name before taken over by Ryan clinics, in that it seems like the earlier clinic named after her and her husband. I met Ms Adair last Saturday. We talked for about 20 minutes, mostly about the need for documenting the history of elders. I showed her some Wikipedia articles, and the linking used. She was fascinated. I have spent all week researching, and found a YouTube clip where she recommends about history of women's church organization that she has been a part of. I ordered the book, it should feel in some gaps. Please advise, I plan to meet with her soon. Tks. Adjoajo (talk) 23:52, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Adjoajo - there are two main issues with the article (and a couple of smaller ones). The first is the tone. Avoid making subjective comments, and adding poetic commentary. For example, "A life of ministry for social justice for women, children, and the poor. She has lead a life of addressing crucial issues of racism, housing, poverty, suffering, exploitation, war, peace, and fellowship. She encourages others, that we must take responsibility, be outspoken, be active, and create initiatives." "She has been a champion of human rights,and social justice issues most of her adult life locally, and globally." - All commentary. State facts. "Dr. Thelma C. Davidson Adair's has a strong belief in the importance of early childhood education", more commentary. The article is chock full of examples of this. Also, drop the use of the honorifics. If she has an MD, put that fact in the article, and add a citation to show its accuracy. Same if its a PhD. Also, after the first time you mention her first name, you should only refer to her by her last name throughout the rest of the article. Those are two of those smaller issues I mentioned.

Statements like "President Barack Obama made a historical speech, on this historic occasion as a nation remembers its history and racism" - are grandiose, and are only meant to puff up the importance of the subject of the article. There were tens of thousands of people at that event. Simply say she was there. The WP:BOMBARD at the end of the sentence serves no purpose at all. I didn't look at all of the citations, but only the Columbia article mentions her attendance at this event.

The second big issue is notability. She appears to be, but the only solid reference that goes to notability is the Daily News opinion piece (reposted in the Washington Post, you don't have to use both, use the same one twice). Other than that, I think that most of the articles are not independent, and therefore don't go to notability. The Congressional record is also independent. Independent means the source has nothing to do with the subject - she doesn't teach there, has never been a part of the organizations, etc. You'll need at least 1 more, preferably 2 or more, articles from a newspaper, magazine, book or peer-reviewed journal to show notability.

The other small issue is the format of your citations. Take a look at WP:CIT on how to format them correctly. Finally, regarding YouTube - that's not a valid reliable source. And as an example of when I say to simply state facts, a perfect example of that would be "In 1976, Adair became the first African-American woman to be elected as a Moderator of the General Assembly for the Presbyterian Church." - That's a simple fact. The problem with that sentence is that you can't use Wikipedia has a reference, you need an external citation to back it up. I hope all this helps. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:04, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Mario Marchetti Article

HELP! I don't understand why the article for Mario Marchetti is not sufficient. I added tons of references. He is clearly established as a top song writer of 2015. He even won a BMI Award in 2015! Which is referenced.

Mario Marchetti was recently deleted as G11 because the current tone was promotional so I would suggest asking the user who deleted it, User:Jac16888, to move it to your userspace only if improvement can be made (it will need better sources about him).

Hi Onel5969,

I can't find our previous conversation on your talk page anymore and didn't get your reply on my last comments. I've refined the article Draft:MicroAssist based on your suggestions. Could you please help me review the article and let me know if there is anything I need to improve to make it approved.

Thanks for your assistance,

Jessicahuma (talk) 15:35, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Jessicahuma The article looks good and sourced but it will need more sources to at least satisfy general notability guidelines and organizations guidelines. SwisterTwister talk 17:52, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

SwisterTwister Thanks for your comments. I've put 2 articles from Austin Business Journal, and abc13.com) which have deep coverage of TX DPS app MicroAssist made, and 1 news from kcentv.com that covers the IMPACT Texas Teen Drivers (ITTD) MicroAssist developed for TxDPS. There are also other sources, like news about TxDPS app and ITTD to support them. Even thought some of the sources didn't mention MicroAssist directly, but with previous citation, it's logical to say that the projects MicroAssist accomplished are notable and significant enough to get so much media coverage.

If they are not good enough, could you please give me an approximate number of sources that I need to add to this Draft to make it notable?

Thanks for you help, Jessicahuma (talk) 19:28, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jessicahuma - Here's the issue: the kcentv piece is a press release, which is virtually worthless reference, since it's a primary source directly from the company. The links to home pages and partner pages are likewise not much use either, since they are connected in some fashion to the company. The facts of the article are well sourced, but its notability still requires several articles. If that press release had been an actual article, that would have been fine for one of them, but you'd still need about 2 more. It's nice to see you doing work on it, and I hope this helps. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:31, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Onel5969- Thanks for your constant assist.I really appreciate your help. This is my first time adding article on Wikipedia and I've learnt a lot from this process. According to your advice, I added 2 more independent sources to support the notability of MicroAssist. The first one is an in-depth article about DPS app and MicroAssist from starlocalmedia.com: Texas DPS launches mobile app; The second one is an article talking about EthicsEd e-learning program MicroAssist did: MicroAssist Launches EthicsEd at Prestigious DEMO.

I have more sources but found those two are most applicable for WK's requirement on sources. Let me know if it's good enough to make the article fulfill all Wikipedia requirements.

Thanks,

User:FarhanRoots1

Hi FarhanRoots1 - In the future, if someone tags an article like that, simply open a discussion on the talk page. If they respond, attempt to reach a resolution with them. If there is no response after a week, simply remove the tags. In this instance, the editor added two tags. I might have left the NPOV tag, to allow discussion to take place, but they also added a COI tag. As far as I know, you don't have any relationship with the subject of the article, and that ip editor gave no evidence. If it is tagged again, simply discuss it on the talk page. Don't ask other editors to get involved. That's called canvassing, and is frowned upon. I'll keep an eye on the article for a while, so I'll know if there's a discussion and pop my head in.

Hey,

I've edited parts of the submission that sounded like an ad, and have removed references that point to Jumpshare's own blog as it says we should use verifiable third-party sources. I've left just a couple of references that point to the official site, as they feel important.

Looking forward to your feedback. This is my first proper page submission, so I hope I meet Wikipedia's standards. Thanks!

Hi Waisybabu - I see it's already been rejected again by another editor. And I would have done the same. I think you've established notability (the Business Insider article is great), but even though it's a short article, it still is highly promotional. Advertisements sell us the subject. Articles tell us about the subject. Just tell us what it is and what it does, don't give us its advantages, etc. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:02, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback Onel5969. I've edited the article once again after looking at Droplr, Dropbox, and Slack's Wiki articles as a basic benchmark for neutrality. I hope I did well this time. Please let me know what else I can do to improve my editing skills.

David Ronneburg

Dear Onel5969,

thanks for reviewing my entry on David Ronneburg (). You turned it down claiming it didn't sufficiently prove notability. As the article includes references to third-party sources like reviews of Ronneburg's work, references to it in the German National Library and entry in the German Literary Almanach and as these references are given in detail following the citation rules, I don't understand why you make these claims. I would appreciate a more concrete criticism to help me improve the article. I am currently working on a publication on Leipzig writers born between 1970 and 1980 who experienced both growing up in Socialist Eastern Germany (GDR) and leading their adult lives in a reunified country after 1990. In the course of my research work I have come across such authors like Jan Zänker who developed into fine poets or prose writers and such like David Ronneburg who turned to journalism and cultural and historic writing. Including them and others like Kathleen Weise, Ulrike Almus Sandig etc would greatly contribute towards academic research becoming easier on the subject. Thanks for your help. I am looking forward to your reply.

Hi Onel5969,

Thank you for reviewing Draft:George Quinn. I read it again and again and I think that I needed a little bit of time off it in order to be able to write it from a more neutral point of view. I made drastic changes and I'd appreciate if you could take another look over it.

In regards to the other points that it was declined for, the article certainly refers to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. I used reliable reports from the market and reliable news sources that show the subjects' notability. Just as an example from the references that I used, "Building and Home Improvement Products Distribution Market Report - UK 2013-2017 Analysis" is a market analysis report done by AMA Research and it costs £725 - I am well aware that the cost of a report doesn't necessarily suggest the quality of a report and its contents, but it certainly means that the effort put into gathering the information for that report and the attention to details was higher than that of a £20 research.

I am submitting this article to be reviewed again because I believe that it shows the notability of the subject (through the references that I used); because the subject is of general interest and because I have made the changes that I was asked to do. Because of the aforementioned, I consider that the article, as it stands, is worthy of being published. Still, if it isn't, I would appreciate any type of feedback.

Sources for notability purposes are usually from reputable, reliable magazines, books, newspapers or peer-cited journals. Linking to google searches is not a valid reference. Sources such as iTunes, Amazon, are not valid references. References which have an affiliation with the subject (such as a gallery or museum), cannot be used for notability purposes.

The new page is a English language translation of an existing French language page (created in 2009) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_Crochet I assumed (wrongly ?) that notability in the French language version of Wikipedia is sufficient to guarantee notability in the English language version of Wikipedia... Please enlighten me...

Simply because there is a French Wiki is not always a guarantee it can be accepted here as other Wiki's frequently have unacceptable articles but also have lower standards or no one takes action. Therefore, this one needs better sourcss. SwisterTwister talk 21:00, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Draft:Kaiho Sangyo Submission declined on 25 September 2015

Dear Onel5969,

Thank you for reviewing my article and contribute as you do in Wikipedia. I saw your user page and it is amazing how many contributions you are doing in this site.

I am writing you because my article s submission was declined by you. The reason was "This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability". https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Kaiho_Sangyo&redirect=no Of course I understand that Kaiho sangyo is not a top company such us Toyota or Nissan but those people have created the first Specification Test for used engines in the world (PAS777). They also created the IREC (International Recycling Education Center),also is unique in the world, and they are really supporting developing projects in Africa or ASEAN teaching people of those countries the way to recycle and reduce wastes. If you would be interested, just take a look to this short video to see what I am talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfMU0uJbVLY

This is my first article and of course I still learning the way to publish a proper article. The truth is that I started working in this article last Jun and it has been declined already 4 times. I have always contacted with the reviewers asking for advice to improve it as I am doing now with you. I have also asked for help in the Teahouse. People is really nice in wikipedia and always they give a hand. I have always followed the advises and the article has improved very much (I have deleted also so many information because didn´t have notably references to support the information).

Please, could you give me some hints to get this article accepted? I really would appreciate it.

Hopefully this experience will help me to improve writing skills for future articles.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi there – you recently denied my AfC submission. I'm wondering if you're willing to elaborate on your feedback? I'm not sure I agree that the article is "essay like". But, I'm willing to make edits if you'll point them out to me :]

I have put in a lot of work in the context of the article, and have omitted a lot of jargon as requested by other reviewers. I welcome your feedback at your earliest convenience!

Thanks, Copeland

Hi Copeland.powell - First, please always sign your comments with the 4 ~. That helps folks know who to respond to. Regarding your article, there is an informal tone to it which makes it read more like an essay, rather than simply a factual report. There are other contributing factors: there are assertions made without citations (e.g. "During his time there he took part in reconciliation work as a member of the community, including volunteering at a local prison."), there are casual terminology used as well, such as "J.John spent approximately nine months a year traveling the country ...". The continual use of J. John throughout the article is a no-no. Simply use his last name, John. There are statements which are judgements/commentary, such as "In January 1998, J.John began teaching the Ten Commandments in a contemporary manner." Use of phrases like "For example, during the ...". In addition to those items, the article still has a heavy POV issue. Avoid terms like "well-known ", "internationally recognized". I'd also get rid of many of the quotes of praise, or else include quotes which don't look at him in a good light, for balance. Hope this helps. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:40, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

I hope I am doing this right, it wasn't too clear on the guidelines page.

I'm not requesting a re-review at this time but some direction. I tried hard to make sure it didn't "read more like an advertisement" and I am not sure which part or parts you think failed. So, if you could give me some direction on where to look then I'd be happy to address them.

I am also surprised because I used an existing (approved, non-advertisement) page (the one for Jay Abraham, a peer of the page's subject) as a template as part of trying to make sure it was more encyclopedic-like.

Thanks for your help and guidance.

So I just click the signature button now??? Let me try it and see :-)

--DavidHusnian (talk) 08:01, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi DavidHusnian - I just edited Abraham's page, removing the small selection which was promotional there. Here's the difference in your article: to say that Kennedy has helped xxxx number of companies develop strategies is reporting a fact (and should be cited). To say how those strategies helped those companies is promotional. To say that he publishes a newsletter with xxxx circulation is a fact (and should be cited). The rest of the stuff in that paragraph is pure promotion. To say he has appeared on stage with numerous luminaries is pure bootstrapping promotionalism. You can include some stuff which highlights him, such as "In October 2014, Forbes labeled Kennedy's The Ultimate Marketing Plan as one of the "Five Of The Most Useful Business Books In The Last 25 Years"[1] and, in 2011, named his book No B.S. Direct Marketing: The Ultimate No Hold Barred Kick Butt Take No Prisoners Direct Marketing For Non-Direct Marketing Businesses one of the "Top 3 Books For Learning To Become a Rainmaker"". Those are cited accomplishments, so reporting them is simply facts. Hope this helps. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:16, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Onel5969, thanks for your explanation and help. Also congratulations on the Gold STiki Barnstar of Merit.

A couple of specific follow up questions before I use the creation help desk.

1. Maybe I misunderstand Wikipedia's purposes. I assumed it was to help people who had a need (or interest) in a topic to get more information to help them. For example, personally I like to use it to learn more about a company or person (like Jay Abraham and Dan Kennedy) before I become a customer. I have a need -- can they help me and do they have a track record to prove it -- and I look them up in Wikipedia for information assuming it is more reliable and fair-minded than a company web site or other who may have specific agendas.

In that case, seeing "how those strategies helped" is valuable information (not promotional) in my due diligence process. So, for example, with Dan Kennedy to see he helps "companies focusing on communicating effectively with prospects" and "providing measurable marketing and business growth strategies" is very good to know because, if I am looking for that, then Mr. Kennedy is a possibility and, if I am not, then he isn't and I can probably strike him off the list.

Of course, I, nor likely anyone else, would use a Wikipedia page for the sole decision but it is valuable information to know in the process and I've personally known a number of people who use Wikipedia in just that way, including a former Citibank CFO.

The same thing could be said about other things like your mention of some of the people Mr. Kennedy has spoken on stage with. If I am looking for speakers and I want someone of a particular level of accomplishment then having that information is not promotional to me at all (as the person looking for speakers) it is purely informational and very valuable. On the other hand, it also might let me know that Dan was a "bigger name" than we were looking for and I wouldn't need to waste time looking at him as an option. Again, really valuable information to the type of people who would be looking for someone like Mr. Kennedy (which would primarily be people and fans) looking into him for business purposes as opposed to entertainers or sports figures or political figures and others who just may want to know about their life or things like that.

A bit long winded -- sorry -- but I wanted to give you context of my thought processes when creating the page and context of the question... what is the purpose of Wikipedia? To help people in ways like I said above or just more like a collection of cited information?

Both are valuable and needed but I thought Wikipedia was the first one (actually, thinking about it now, I thought Wikipedia was both a collection and a useful resource of the type I mentioned) but if it is the second one then knowing that will help me.

Thanks.

2. How do you know what to cite and how do you cite things that are facts that aren't generally published elsewhere and can be cited? I'd venture that most of the facts in the world aren't available elsewhere to be cited and in companies like Mr. Kennedy's GKIC and others which are not public companies specific facts are readily available in a citeable third-party document. As I said in the page, I was unable to verify some information but felt is was valuable to know for someone who was actually looking for Dan Kennedy (I know I'd want it) so I let it in.

They can be important facts just really hard to cite plus you can't cite everything that is said or there would be pages upon pages of footnotes.

For example, on the Coca Cola page is says these "facts" but they aren't cited "Coke (a registered trademark of The Coca-Cola Company in the United States since March 27, 1944)" and "The company's marketing strategies for a high-sugar drink, especially its targeting of children, remain controversial."

Also, for Bill Gates, this is uncited "According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Gates was the world's highest-earning billionaire in 2013, as his fortune increased by US$15.8 billion to US$78.5 billion." and I looked to see if I could find a place I could cite and was unable to.

I do know I have seen places where it had the facts in place (in approved pages) but had some thing like "citation needed" next to it. That seems very reasonable and a good compromise. May I do that and how would I?

So may I have some of your valuable direction on knowing what to cite and what to do if it is a fact but is impossible or virtually so to cite it. Thanks.

I really did make a great effort to not be promotional but to put in the information that people who were looking to find out more about Dan and his businesses would want to know. I am continuing to try to find specific information and references but it has been difficult. I look forward to your continued guidance.

Hi There,

I'm hoping you can provide me with some more specific details about which parts of the article would be considered advertising, so that I may have a chance to improve/edit this piece. There are many guidelines and honestly I find them a bit confusing, so getting further clarification of what needs to be improved upon would be great.

Cheers, ~~Jennifer~~

Hi HPCOMgreen - It's terms and phrases like "it's said to be home for nearly 100,000 active small-to-medium-sized business websites", "is known for ", "Jamie has been a serial entrepreneur since 1990, he launched and sold a number of companies within the technology industry." "In 2005, Jamie Opalchuk took part in conversations with other IT industry leaders ". The lengthy list of non-notable awards is also very promotional. That entire list could be summed up in two short sentences like, "xxxx has been awarded several/numerous awards by various industry magazines/organizations. Examples would be... (then pick a couple to give as examples). The infrastructure is almost solely promotional. Great rule of thumb is that articles tell us about a subject, while advertisements try to sell us a product. When you start listing benefits, and how it helps its customers, that's selling. Hope this helps. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:17, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Onel5969 - Thanks for your feedback, it was very helpful so thanks alot for that! I've made some moderate edits and have resubmitted for review.

Help with references

Hi,

You recently made comments that I needed to improve my references before my page is accepted. Could you please give me an example. I have more references coming, but I want to know why the current ones are no good.

Thanks AlBarts 14:23, 8 October 2015 (UTC)AlBarts (talk) 14:23, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi AlBarts - WP:REFB is a good resource to learn about referencing. In a nutshell, there are two basic types of references: those for verifiability (e.g. this guy worked at this job during this period of time), and those for notability. To show notability you need about 3 articles from reliable, independent sources. That usually means newspapers, magazines or books. The articles can't merely mention the subject, but should be in-depth about the subject. They also can't be associated with the subject, so a bio page from a radio station he worked at doesn't count. The Vanouver's Broadcasting link is nice, but doesn't really show notability, just that he was a broadcaster in Vancouver. In addition, your #5 citation doesn't appear to back up the assertion it's placed near.

Everything in the article that asserts something (where he worked, dates, etc.) should have a reference. It can be the same reference and come at the end of the paragraph, but it needs a reference. Also, please take a look at WP:CIT on how to properly format citations. Finally, after the first time you mention Barton's name in the lead, he should only be referred to by his last name throughout the rest of the article. I hope this helps. Ciao.

Hi, Onel5969

I added 2 more independent sources to support the notability of MicroAssist. The first one is an in-depth article about DPS app and MicroAssist from starlocalmedia.com: Texas DPS launches mobile app; The second one is an article talking about EthicsEd e-learning program MicroAssist did: MicroAssist Launches EthicsEd at Prestigious DEMO.

I have more sources but found those two are most applicable for WK's requirement on sources. Let me know if it's good enough to make the article fulfill all Wikipedia requirements.

Thanks for your constant assist on this! Appreciated.

Hi Jessicahuma - Those definitely help. The second more than the first. Get rid of the associations section - that's unencyclopedic, and then resubmit it and I'll move it to the mainspace.

Hi Hillary Chase - He might still fall under WP:BLP1E, but it definitely looks well sourced. Are there online links to any of your sources? If so, please add them. You can also find how to properly format your citations at WP:CIT. Are you associated in some way with the subject? I notice that one of the citations appears to be from a source written by you, and since it's from PRNewswire, it appears to be a press release. If so, take a look at WP:COI, and tag the article and your user page appropriately, please. After you do those things, resubmit. I'm going to wait a bit and see what another editor thinks, rather than re-review it myself. I think it's borderline notability. If another editor approves it, then I'd be more comfortable. Hope this helps. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:32, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:Derek Green (Democratic Candidate for Philadelphia City Council At-large) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello, I recently attempted to create a Wikipedia page for each of the candidates in the Philadelphia City Council elections to be referenced on a site that our organization is working on at crowdpac.com. I got a rejection notice questioning the notability of the candidates in the articles. Would a workable alternative to this be to make a large page for the 2015 November elections and then include all of the candidates for Philadelphia office in that? Let me know as soon a possible please--we're trying to get all of this information up within the week. Thanks for your time.

Rauchg13 (talk) 17:24, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Rauchg13 - If a candidate for a non-national office only has notability in the fact that they are a candidate, they are not going to get a page. Especially local candidates. Even after election, some city councilors won't have enough notability for a page of their own, although I think Philly is one of the cities which they do (I honestly don't know off the top of my head and don't want to take the time to track the answer down, since I want to get back to you as quickly as possible). If the candidate has independent notability, then they would qualify under WP:GNG, but candidates fail as per WP:NPOL. And I don't think an article on an upcoming election would work either, as per WP:NOTNEWS. I'm going to ping an admin, Northamerica1000, who does a bunch of work at AfD who might be able to shed more light on your question. In addition, is your organization affiliated with the candidates? If so, you should take a look at WP:COI. Hope this helps. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:25, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

I am working with Committee of Seventy: https://www.seventy.org/ We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit government ethics and accountability group, thus we are not affiliated with any candidate or party. We are partnering with https://www.crowdpac.com/ in order to get as much info out on candidates as possible before each election in PA. Crowdpac links their bios to Wikipedia pages., which a number of the candidates already have. It would be the ideal platform since information on Wikipedia has public editing and an understanding of relatively unbiased content. I'll look forward to hearing from Northamerica1000 for more info. Thanks Onel5969 for the prompt response. Rauchg13 (talk) 18:44, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

@Rauchg13: For separate biography articles, a lot of this comes down to notability. Check out WP:BASIC and WP:NPOL. The second point of WP:NPOL states that local politicians can qualify if they are "major local political figures who have received significant press coverage". Per WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, an article about the overall upcoming Philadelphia City Council election may not be suitable, although if the topic receives significant coverage in reliable sources, particularly in those outside of the local area, such as regional, statewide and national coverage, it could fly.

Note that there are related articles, particularly Philadelphia municipal election, 1955, which appears to be the style of article you are looking to create. This article includes information about the election for mayor, district attorney and 17 city council seats. Additional related articles/sections include:

• Philadelphia mayoral election, 2015 – could possibly be expanded in the style of the Philadelphia municipal election, 1955 article, and then be renamed to reflect the new content
• List of members of Philadelphia City Council since 1952
• United States elections, 2015 § Local elections

– hope this helps out. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:10, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

draft:DocSolid

Hello Onel5969, I am JohnWannamaker and I had recently added some more edits to the draft:DocSolid wikipedia entry which you had reviewed about a week ago. I made some more changes and added some more citations and connections to other wiki entries that related closely with DocSolid, and I was checking on whether or not it was being reviewed again. The first time it seemed someone looked at it very shortly after posting, but this time it seems to be taking significantly longer. Thanks for taking the time, and hopefully I can fix whatever problems may still exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnWannamaker (talk • contribs) 18:10, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi JohnWannamaker - We have over 500 articles in the queue waiting to be reviewed, so it can take a few weeks. I won't review it at this time, because I declined it last time, and based on the two new references, I'd decline it again, so I prefer to let another editor take a look at it. The CIO appears to be a solid article, but the other one is a press release, and therefore invalid for notability purposes. You also might want to take a look at WP:CIT on how to properly format references. That helps reviewers. Hope this helps you. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:01, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:Ongaku Records, Inc. (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

What more information do you need to establish notability for this company? There are four citations showing that its recordings have been reviewed in all the major classical music media for two decades now, and there are links to many other notable artists who record on the lable including Tchaikovsky Competition gold medalists etc.

This seems to be way more than enough to establish notability according to Wikipedia published critieria.

Why did you reject this page?

Those are articles about the recordings. Not about the record label. They would help to bolster the notability about the record and/or the artist, but do nothing for establishing the notability of the record company. We need about 3 in-depth articles from independent sources about the company (usually reputable magazines, newspapers or books) to show it is notable. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:05, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:Ongaku Records, Inc. (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I added more citations.

A record company makes recordings. It becomes notable by having major journals write about its recordings, just as a car company becomes notable by having its cars reviewed by independent journals.

Are you saying that you would rather have a separate page for every release from Ongaku Records, Inc. (all of which have notability by your stated criteria) rather than one page for the company that lists all of them?

That makes no sense at all.

Please explain. What kind of article would ever be written about a recording company, other than discussions of its recordings and artists? Or possibly an interview with an executive about the recordings. In any case, all articles about recording companies will talk about recordings.

No, what I'm saying is simple. You seem to either want to argue, or are simply willfully failing to understand. Regardless, I'd much prefer to deal with new editors who want to learn and understand the process, so please refrain from talking to me about this article. Take care and good luck.

The User has been indeffed; relisting it?

Hello Onel5969,

I remember you had commented here now quite some time ago. The article was created about a non-notable person, was made in a totally rubbish state from the start, and still remains in a rubbish state (as he's completely non-notable).

As I happened to be right, the user was a sockmaster using numerous socks to prevent the article from being deleted. He has been indeffed as of some minutes ago, including his socks. I'm suggesting I can re-list it for deletion, as all socks + the master have been blocked. Do you think its possible for that rubbish article to be listed again for deletion, and now properly?

(Could you ping me when leaving a reply? Thanks! ;-) ) - LouisAragon (talk) 05:07, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi LouisAragon - I actually don't think an AfD is appropriate. The arguments made after I cast my delete vote (from Kraxler and Penguin) seem to uphold a claim of notability. I do think you could go through the article and pare down all the uncited promotion. But he probably is notable. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:03, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi BelindaVanDyk - the sources you used were either simple mentions, or weren't independent of the subject, or both.

Frank E. Tours

I understand that someone is about to write an article on Frank E. Tours, so changing the name back to Frank Tours is not helpful. See Frank E. Tours bio. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:48, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ssilvers Then they should be writing, as per MOS titling conventions, an article titled Frank Tours. Which is the name he is known by his credits. The E should only be added if there is already a Frank Tours article and he was sometimes known by that, neither of which is true. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:51, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

I wanted to add that as quickly as I could to help you understand my rationale. If that person were to write that article, it would most likely get changed to Frank Tours, since that is the name in the credits, in which case all your changes would need to be reverted at that time. The online bio may use the E because he occasionally used it in his stage work (but even then, if you go to ibdb, the vast majority of his credits are without the E. So the only reason we'd use it in the title of the article is if there were already a Frank Tours article. Anyway, hope you understand. Would you like to self revert the remainder of your edits, or I can take of it for you. Take it easy. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:59, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

It's a very good impulse to go to existing articles to see how to structure, etc. One of the articles you looked at was already tagged for advertising, and I've added that tag to the other two as well. In a nutshell, tell us about the product, don't sell it to us. Your article will have another issue, and that's notability.

Keith Schooley article edit question

Hi, I'm working on the edit and rearranged/added to references/draft. But I'm also trying to figure out what you meant when you said I could go to a Wiki page to find out how to "properly format" my citations. Were you saying I had done them incorrectly (I followed the instructions and used the edit bar to insert citations to reference section) or were you referring to adding web links to preexisting citations? I have found links to a number of citations so I assume I add a semicolon and then click on the web link key in edit in order to add to citation... is that correct? Will that renumber everything or will it (as it did when I added semicolons with an additional news or book source) simply add to the citation without causing the reference numbers to go awry? The article is: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Keith_A._Schooley&action=edit and I am at chasehillary@gmail.com. Thanks again. HC Hillary Chase (talk) 20:16, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Hillary Chase - First of all, it's been a pleasure working with someone who is trying to learn. Thank you for your diligence. I formatted the second citation in your article, so you could see the slight difference. In that particular one, it made very little difference, but if you look at the way I formatted the citation, I left 2 fields blank: "page" and "url". If you pulled that article from a print edition of the Trib, you'd put the page # in; if you pulled it from their online version, you'd put the url there (sometimes the url version also has the page #, and in those instances use both). Hope this makes sense to you. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:15, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

In addition, the way you've formatted your citations makes it extremely difficult to evaluate. Please take a look at WP:CIT to see how to format citations. Here's an example: <ref>{{cite web | url=web address of article | title=title of article | publisher=name of website or magazine which publishes the article | last=last name of author (if there is one) | first=first name of author (if there is one) | page=page number (if there is one) | accessdate=date you accessed the article on line}}</ref> If it's a book, the format is slightly different, as is if it is a print copy of a magazine or newspaper.

Hi Onel5969 - Thanks!! I had a sleep on this and have a quick question for you about the references. You'd commented that there were many references listed in the references section, pointing to web pages published by the company behind Artica. You're right there's about 15 (if I recall the number correctly) references to various factual pages published by the company (its Sourceforge page, statistics on the popularity of the control panel software, its business incorporation page, etc), and in that references list there are an additional 5 or so notable sources in the press (InfoWorld BOSSIE award winner, etc). Should the references to Artica's own web pages, be converted into hyperlinks, instead of references? It would be nice for raeders to be able to see easily the fact behind what is being referred to, and if having these company web pages listed in references is in any way diluting the value of the proper reliable notable third party references to Arica in the press, then maybe they should be converted into either hyperlinks or put into the "other links" section? Your feeling? Colemanchris (talk) 15:44, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

— Cirt (talk) 06:27, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Cirt - Absolutely. That's what I try to do 2-3 for every one I nominate (I think I'm at like 10 or so reviews and 3 noms). Thanks for all your input, it was extremely helpful. As I said on one of the GA talk pages, not just for these articles but also for any future articles I nominate. Pleasure working with you. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:17, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Oh wow, I didn't know you do that, that is my practice also — at least 2-3 for each one I nominate. How do you think we as the community can gently help suggest and foster an optional idea that other people do the same? — Cirt (talk) 20:54, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Cirt - I think what you did is a good start. I'm new to the GA process, but in the future whenever I pass an article, I'll leave that polite note about "paying it forward" by reviewing 2. Perhaps you could post on the project's talk page a suggestion that all reviewers do that? (since it was your idea). I reviewed several before posting my first one. Someone a year or two ago had suggested that if I got involved in GA, that was a good rule of thumb, so now that I'm trying to do several a month, that's my standard. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:33, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi O. I just saw this edit where you are trying to ping Cirt and I wanted to let you know that pings don't work unless they are made with a signature at the same time. So when you go back and add a ping to a post that you have already made you need to add a new signature to it. Cirt may have your talk page on their watchlist and will see your reply but just in case I will Cirt ping them now so you don't have to do it again. Cheers to you both and the "pay it forward" idea is excellent. MarnetteD|Talk 23:44, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Onel5969 and MarnetteD:Please see Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations/Instructions. I tried to add some wording to WP:GANI, keeping it light with less purposeful language like Suggestion and Optional and 'consider. Unfortuately, some at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations/Instructions think I am trying to "force" people to do reviews. I am not. Merely asking them to consider the option. Perhaps you can discuss at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations/Instructions my ideas? — Cirt (talk) 23:50, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Onel5969 and MarnetteD:What do you think of this idea? Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations/Instructions#Require_oldest_candidates_get_reviewed_first. Opening it up, first, as merely a suggested addition, before making a change. Would like to hear discussion and feedback from others. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 09:32, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Vanity Page

I am unsure if you are an administrator, but could you report this page Tommy Sotomayor. It is a very slimy vanity page with no legitimate sources. 16:16, 13 October 2015 (UTC)~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by JreamRiley (talk • contribs)

JreamRiley, I am an administrator and you can consider this a warning to stop your disruptive editing. Please read WP:NOTVAND and be aware that you cannot restore a removed PROD tag. You can take the article to WP:AFD. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:04, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi JreamRiley - First, no I am not an admin. Second, not sure why you feel that HuffPo, Jet, and Clutch are not legitimate sources. I was about to decline the Prod tag, but someone else has already removed it. And it looks like you had already replaced it once after it was removed. Prod tags, once removed can never be re-added. Anyway, take care. Ciao. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:07, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:Version One Ventures (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello, can you please outline a few examples of sentences you find to be subjective for my drafted wiki page? I have many sources only three of which are from a website connected to the subject of the page. Thank you! What information can I provide to eliminate questions of bias?

Johnsonclaire770 (talk) 19:25, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Johnsonclaire770, here are a few:

• The company provides seed and Series A, B, and C investments to startups, primarily in SaaS and marketplace industries.
• The company seeks out knowledgeable entrepreneurs, and invests in small technological, mobile, online industries
• Wertz's aim is to secure at least a 5% equity in each company
• Investors can range from Limited partners, to angel investors, to large corporations. In
• These individuals choose to invest their capital in a person they believe has the innovation to bring them equity in return

In general, customers want different information than researchers. Advertisements are geared to the former, articles to the latter. Researchers don't care about the standards for investing, or the products and services the company provides (except in a general way). Hope this helps. Ciao.

  • Draft:Leonid Shtilman (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Thank you very much for taking the time to review my article for submission. I am somewhat new to Wikipedia and I was hoping you might be able to be a bit more specific about the sections that did not meet the wiki guidelines and any suggestions or links to articles that are more inline with how this should be written. Thank you in advance for your consideration and response.

Hi Allycooks - Phrases like "This work is widely considered", "(see ref)", "See the article "Mutek Solutions Ltd receives investment from the Intel 64 Fund", "Viewfinity products are considered as an advanced product in privilege management and application control", "Leonid enjoying publishing essays", are all very informal. In addition, after the initial mention of his full name, only use his surname from that point on. No first name, no initial. Also, as I said in my not on the draft, please see WP:CIT on how to properly format citations. Hope this helps. I'm also going to leave a message on your talk page, with a few other helpful links.

  • Draft:Bmai (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi Onel5969,

I created a new article for Bmai which was sent in for review and declined by you on September 21. I have been meaning to get in touch with you and other Wikipedia community members, but have been busy with a recent move to Europe. As I have explained to another user when I first submitted my page for review, I am unaffiliated with Bmai. I created this page out of my own interest because I admire their business model and want more people to know about it. Specifically, I'm referring to their ability to market great products at extremely reasonable prices. I have participated in some of the runner events that Bmai has organized, and therefore has come into contact with some of their employees. Since I'm a frequent user of Wikipedia, I thought of the idea of creating a Wikipedia page for them, and had a short conversation with someone in their marketing team to clarify a few things in my understanding. They supported me by providing product photos, which I hope to include in the Wikipedia page after it gets approved.

I phrased the Wikipedia page and consulted a few friends during the process. All the information is readily available on the internet - I simply gathered them in groups and paraphrased them in English. I tried my best to maintain objectivity in my language and keep everything factual, but understand that some parts may seem promotional. I would appreciate it if you can let me know if there are any specific sections or paragraphs that stood out in particular when you were reviewing the page. If the problem is more general, I would appreciate some pointers on stylistic things to avoid. Thanks a lot! Leahnaz (talk) 23:19, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Leahnaz - I think the problem is that you went to a marketing person. The entire article reads like a promotional brochure for the company. Don't sell us the product, simply tell us about the company. Don't list features or product lines, don't tell us about company visions or business models, tell us when the company was founded and by whom. Don't give us distribution lines. The lengthy review section also makes an already promotional article even more so. Hope this helps. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:57, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Keith A. Schooley (draft including references)

Hi again, Thanks for your continued assistance. While I understood the incorrect date entries and the gist of what you were telling me about fixing the reference section, there are a couple of puzzles that have me afraid to attempt to redo the submission. First, in a few instances, I have 2 references for a single citation and noticed that in each instance, one was removed in the draft. Second, now that I have found web links to some of the articles, I'm not sure how to add them to existing references-- or maybe I'm supposed to eliminate the newspaper information and replace it with web link? In any case, I don't want to to erase what I've already done. So... I am going to copy and paste the entire draft (references and all). Is there some way one of the editors can take this and insert it properly for me? Here is the cut & paste for: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Keith_A._Schooley&action=edit ; chasehillary@gmail.com - Sorry this is such an ordeal. Hillary Hillary Chase (talk)

Hi Hillary Chase - Can't really write much at the moment. I've moved the information to a sandbox page I created, which you can find through this link. Either you or I can make changes to it there. If you do make edits, please make sure to leave an edit summary. I probably won't get a chance to work on it until sometime Sunday afternoon/evening. But I will give it some time. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:13, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Okay Hillary Chase, finally got to take a look at the article. I formatted several of the first citations so you can see how it's done. Couple of things. Take a look at citation #3, I gave it a "refname", because you use it more than once in the article. So now where #5 used to be, I simply reuse the same citations, and showed you that so you would know how to do it in the future. Also, the newspaper article without online access, you should include the page number. I put the parameter in the citation, so you can simply add it there. Go through the rest of the citations on the sandbox page I created, and fix all of them and then let me know. When we finish editing it, I'll cut and paste it back to your draft space and you can resubmit. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 02:09, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Onel5969. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Guardthetruth (talk) 05:09, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

This is an ongoing content dispute in which you are in the minority. There is no vandalism going on. Why did you claim there was? I am very confused. Guardthetruth (talk) 08:36, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

When an ip makes an edit with an invalid edit summary, and then continues to insist on making that edit several more times without any explanation whatsoever, that's sort of the definition of vandalism. The fact that the ip is a sock kind of makes it more blatant. Cheers. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:06, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Renaissance Software page rejected

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Renaissance_Software username: alpharit

I am introducing the page in relation to the history of the risk management software programs to support financial derivative instruments trading. The trading of financial derivative instruments by large global banks grew rapidly in the early 90's. According to ISDA the notional outstanding grew from 865 billion dollars at the end of 1987 to 29 trillion dollars at the end of 1997. Several companies developed software to book, value and run simulation for portfolio of swaps. Sungard Data Systems, Infinity, Cats Software, Renaissance Software were the companies involved in this new market as mentioned in the New York time article.

References

79.64.210.2 (talk) 19:57, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to make the draft a clear acceptance (0.9 probability). Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the topic is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.

That is what is likely to be hindering acceptance of this draft. Might it not be better as a part of the Sungard article? Fiddle Faddle 20:03, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

MasterOfIntegration / Field Device Integration

Hi, the reason you mentioned to reject our article is not understanable at all. We are talking about a technology standard that is commercially used. People want to understand pros, cons, themotivation of development and how it works and as well where to get information about the technology. This is not an article about physical or mathematical aspects for school.

We put a lot of effort in writing this article to help the potential users to understand why this technology is beneficial for them. I do not see any aspect that is 'commercial' in the article. Rather than just throwing the term I would expect concrete examples and clear expectations what has to be changed to get this stuff released. Just to state: Does not work, rewrite. Is not convincing or a 'good' help to improve.

It is quite disappointing what time it takes to get an article posted of something you developed with an international team for many years..disappointing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MasterOfIntegration (talk • contribs) 06:40, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the trouble to review my article and for feedback. May I politely challenge your decision based on non-notability? As I stated in the talk page for this draft, the person falls into notability because he is an expert scientist who has validly published and named one or more plant species or subspecies. That person has thus given his name in perpetuity as the 'author' - whenever that species or taxon is cited in the scientific literature. I would make the following points:

• All such authors are recommended to be treated as notable, as advised in WP:WikiProject_Plants#Botanists.
• They should all have links from the binomial_authority field as described in Template:Taxobox#Authorities.
• Each should also be listed on the page List of botanists by author abbreviation.

There are many examples of briefer articles in mainspace for notable authorities for species names (eg Frank White (botanist)), though all will use the standard author abbreviation template: {{botanist|J.Bloggs}} to cite a secondary source listing their contribution as a notable botanist (though I do think the template could be improved to automatically reference all the species authored by that person) An equivalent page still awaiting review that I've created on the same basis of notability is: Draft:Carolus Adrianus Johannes Kreutz, and I expect there will be many more needed as I attempt to fix disambiguity in citing authors in various articles using this tool: Disambiguation tool for botanical articles.
