Hi SwisterTwister,

A couple months ago you reviewed my article and had said it looked notable but needed more sources and to notify you once I have made the proper changes. I have made revisions to the article (Hubbell Water Heaters) and would appreciate if you could look over it again. Thanks for your time. Carrierc (talk) 14:49, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Star Gazers

Swister Twister, did you start the page for the 2016 season of "Star Gazers" (the astronomy show)? I was rather surprised to see it. I've been working on the episode listings for that show for a number of years now. There was once another person who worked on "Star Gazers" as well; but, he has since retired from Wikipedia (so, I had been "going it solo" ever since). I'm glad to see new interest in the TV show.

Lisa Christine Holmberg

First of all, I'd like to say thank you for reviewing several of my pages that I started, Metalheads, Rising Falcon Cinema, and Gregory Cahill. Secondly, I'd like to start a page called Lisa Christine Holmberg, but it seems that I can't due to former deletions. I've found ten notable newspaper articles in my research to reference on the page, which exceeds the necessary four or five sources to prove basic notability. Not to mention that the page is already referenced on another Wikipedia page. How should I proceed? Thank you for your time. WikiConqueror (talk) 04:33, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WikiConqueror Hmm, frankly, it would depend whether it now better satisfies WP:CREATIVE. SwisterTwister talk 04:59, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
SwisterTwister It does. I'm just unsure how to create the page since it seems to be somewhat protected. WikiConqueror (talk) 05:48, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
WikiConqueror One path is WP:Articles for creation, where third-party users including myself (I'm a reviewer) can review it before accepting it or not. SwisterTwister talk 05:52, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
SwisterTwister Okay, thanks! I'll do that. WikiConqueror (talk) 05:55, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:BlackBerry Soul Radio

Hello SwisterTwister. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:BlackBerry Soul Radio, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: no AfC template, so not within G13. Thank you.

This does not come within the definition of G13, which says "any userspace drafts and drafts in the Draft: namespace that are using the project's {{AFC submission}} template" (my emphasis). I don't know why that qualification was added, but unless there is consensus to remove it, abandoned drafts like this one must either go to MfD or simply be left alone. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:03, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

JohnCD - I think the difference is that these drafts are under an older AFC process. I can't think of a good reason why G13 shouldn't be expanded to include these drafts as well. Can you? I'm considering raising this at WT:CSD.--Mojo Hand (talk) 16:20, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
JohnCD. I use G13 on these--I read it more inclusively, exactly the same way as SwisterTwister does. I think that was the intent of the rule. I'm very reluctant to use anything like IAR at Speedy, but this is simply a technical problem in the wording. I support ST's use of G13, and I delete any such nominated article I see.
But to eliminate ambiguity, see my proposed change at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#G13 Drafts - [1] DGG ( talk ) 17:41, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the reason for the words "that are using the project's {{AFC submission}} template" in G13, but they are there, I assume for a purpose; part of the compromises when G13 was first agreed? I have commented at WT:CSD that I'm happy to see them removed. JohnCD (talk) 19:29, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

G1 speedy deletion again

Hi. You have tagged a number of user space pages with WP:G1 again, despite my having previously explained your errors in doing so. Firstly, if a page is written in readable English then it is not applicable for G1. Secondly, G1 does not apply to user space pages anyway. Please read the speedy deletion criteria properly and please stop tagging readable English user pages with G1. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:17, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Draft deletions

As I recently told you, every single one of your G13 nominations is being posted in incorrect format. Please learn how to do it. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:36, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To actually explain the issue, Template:Db-g13 states that you need to add the |ts= parameter to indicate when the page was last constructively edited. Sam Walton (talk) 17:31, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies: I should also have said that. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 21:02, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

G6

I do not think I would use G6 on userspace drafts as an additional reason, U5 is sufficient (but I do add G11 sometimes to the worst of them to prevent it being restored on request) DGG ( talk ) 17:16, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Dave! If you haven't noticed, I'll add it as a "non-controversial housekeeping" and also for the new G6 which would be applicable, "Deleting userspace drafts containing only the default Article Wizard text if the user who created the page has been inactive for at least one year". Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 19:47, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing my article. Can you give me some guidance as to how much context I need to provide? I strongly believe this is a hugely important topic and it might take a while to make it something that a lay person could understand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Andrew_E_Checkley

I responded to a query from the editor at OTRS – I don't like nominating an article for AfD in such cases, so thought you seemed to be on a user space review roll – if you are going through them in alphabetical order and want to wait until it comes up in rotation, that's fine.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:30, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

17:07:15, 25 January 2016 review of submission by Wdaellenbach


More sources from credible sources have been added in order to coopt the news article regarding Chris RIvers winning two major Toronto music awards and should qualify him as a notable artist. Numerous sources have been added and information improved upon and his page should be created.

Berenstain Bears (Atari 2600 game)

SwisterTwister Thank you for taking the time to review the article Draft:Berenstain Bears (Atari 2600 game). I am disappointed, however, that you found this article to not meet the notability threshold. As a highly collectible video game, and one that has been covered in many books and magazine articles (as shown in the references), I am wondering what more you find necessary to approve this article. Many revisions have taken place to expand the article and remove any information or references from non-reputable sources or wiki pages, with all seven current references being published books or magazine/journal articles. As a start-class entry, I believe the article to be well-sourced, accurate, and definitely notable both in the world of video game collecting as well as children's literature. Any additional feedback you could provide would be appreciated. Darb02 (talk) 02:31, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

06:11:28, 27 January 2016 review of submission by Percocetpistolpete


I have added links, and tried to source out as many links as I can without adding spam. It seems that this person is notable, and should have a wikipedia page, but maybe my process of creating it wasn't done right the first time. This person is on CBS Radio in the greater NYC area, he is often on television, see links and sources and additions I have made. Now I had to link this person's youtube page which you can see HERE, but that is because I couldn't find the direct link or any link that would have it on TV. If such a link/source does exist, maybe you can help me find it.

What's funny is as I was working on this, kind of taking a break, I see him pop up on TMZ sports on my TV. So I linked the TMZ article that mentions his show, and I am waiting for the TV clip to be up so I can source that. I just thought that was ironic, lol.

Ok so he is regular guess on the Arise Network...but again, mostly seen on his own youtube as they are a TV station and run live....here is one article I found but the video links are dead

ARISE TV LINK

And here is again the clips but they are on his youtube, which I don't feel like it should be a problem since they are real clips, but should I try to get them another way?

Scoop B on Arise Youtube Link

Then he is a guest on the BEN Network Show talking about Isiah Thomas joining the Liberty as their coach. LINK

but again, his own youtube is the source....so is that a problem?

Then I found a link to the audio for when he was on ESPN Radio discussing the Hoop Hall of Fame and Alonzo Mourning ....Here is the AUDIO LINK and then here is a SHORT WRITE UP The first link went down, then back up, it was at www.CatfishHughes.com which is just a page about that person I assume.

Ok then I added his education which includes his attendance to the youth camp ran by famous Ian Eagle and Bruce Beck. He didn't just attend, but they also had a write up about him being a famous alumni which I linked and you can see I added the link to the page LINK HERE

Then he was already on the Hofstra Page but it was red meaning no wiki page, as a graduate, it is also on the last link it lists his masters degree.

Now is there anything else that I should add or that is needed for this to move forward? I understand that not every sports journalist should have a wikipedia page, but this person is constantly on TV weekly and on air with a radio show that gets stories from it picked up onto other shows for example see the Samakia Walker story....

Please advise and hopefully we can get this moving forward....then once I get all the links for the Evansville Hoosier wiki page I am working on that will be another story LOL!

thanks

edit: added a link to the Evansville Hoosier page I am working on because that is starting to get hard lol!

John Saul

Thanks for plowing through my draft. I just need a little more guidance. I supplied five authoritative and reputable references detailing him and eleven in the bibliography: ten of which mention him. (There is also a book on him coming out in March, but one never rely on publisher's promises!) As a rough guideline, how many more citations referring to him would be needed to assure notability? A Google Scholar search under his name brings up plenty, so that's no problem. However, I thought the number I'd supplied was adequate for a starter stub, so now I'm puzzled.

Somehow, I get the feeling that this article should be notable just from the reasons you keep denying that the Blazers are not notable. Just how many multimillion dollar judgements have to be awarded by the courts for discrimination before you get it? (They did get the first, that alone should get by the issue of notability.) Would you care to see the list of discrimination judgements from 1973 to now? Robco311 (talk) 17:44, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notability and references

A firehouse renamed is notable. See: The City of Baltimore issued a proclamation on June 5, 2003, that at 11:00 a.m., Mayor Martin O'Malley, Chief William J. Goodwin, Jr. and the Board of Fire Commissioners will rename the quarters of Engine #33, Truck #5, located at 801 E. 25th Street, in honor of former Chief of Fire Department Herman Williams, Jr.

The Chief, one of the Vulcan Blazers founders, was cited by the Baltimoresun. a daily newspaper, here: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2001-01-04/news/0101040188_1_fire-department-city-fire-fire-deaths

The LODD of trainee Wilson, a black woman who was not a VB, resulted in the resignation of BFCD head Goodwin, whose ouster was publicly called for by the Vulcan Blazers over systemic failures that failed to protect her, here: http://www.firefighterclosecalls.com/news/fullstory/newsid/48276/layout/no -on pg 5/7 and by the IAFF fire union here: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2007-11-14/news/0711140332_1_goodwin-dixon-resignation Henry Burris, the head of the Vulcan Blazers, requested federal intervention in 2011 and called the dept 'racist', here: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2011-11-15/news/bs-md-ci-chief-clack-20111115_1_chief-clack-fire-department-vulcan-blazers

Then see also all about Lt. Bethea, who was a Vulcan Blazer for all of his 41 years as a f.f. with BCFD, in fact, as 5th in his academy class, he was one of the blacks to be ordered hired as a result of Judge Young finding for the aggrieved class of firefighters in that class action lawsuit, here: http://www.leagle.com/decision/19731546359FSupp1187_11346/HARPER%20v.%20MAYOR%20AND%20CITY%20COUNCIL%20OF%20BALTIMORE

For more of the Lawsuit that began the whole affirmative action consent decree thingy, see here: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2013-04-22/news/bs-md-ci-fire-recruitment-cut-20130422_1_all-white-class-vulcan-blazers-recruitment

At this point it's fairly redundant, The VB have been at the heart of Baltimores diversity efforts from their founding in 1970 to the present day. All of the news stories about the group were negative calls the news media trumpeted as the only thing they seemed capable of, namely calling out the racist policies of the BFCD. So positive stories of the Vulcan Blazers did not make the news. But cites are found aplenty of individual VB's whom are feted for their contributions, or their loss. Other than the 3 editors whom have declined the article as notable, is there any one whom sees this article as notable, possessing context, is timelined and can be streamlined by further editing?

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to read this request for a review.

I'm a little confused as to why the article was rejected. The reason cited was in regards to the sources and them not being reliable, however there are more than 10 sources listed that are from external and independent sources. None of them are paid for, all of the written articles are written by factual and well respected media sources.

Could you give me some ideas about what would need to change in order for this submission to be accepted?

Thanks!

16:54:47, 28 January 2016 review of submission by DJLondenBuckner

I am requesting a re-review because I made this article-wikipedia on behalf of my client, Londen Buckner (DJ L) . I feel like the reasoning for declining his submission is inaccurate. If you look below for the article I have listed several sources from one of the most popular blogs in Chicago, FakeShoreDrive, which does have an actual editor. Not to mention it is noted on youtube and known throughout Chicago and the music industry culture that DJ L produced for artists lil herb, lil bibby, tink, plies. All people who have wikipedia pages. He is even in the studio and working right now with the producer, C-sick, who also has a wikipedia page. If he is collaborating with these individuals and made the sound for these individuals to achieve this level of fame/notoriety. I don't see why he can't have his own wikipedia page that he is rightly due for his work and contribution to hip-hop culture. All the credits I listed on his page can be found on the credits on the record. He was just credited on Lil Durk's last album as a producer with C sick. Lil Durk also has a wikipedia page. With all due respect I just feel like the person reviewing this article didn't have an indepth knowledge of hip-hop culture/chicago hip hop culture. DJ L was even listed as one of the top 25 producers in hip hop in 2015- http://watchloud.com/best-rap-producers-in-2015/ so I don't understand what the issue is. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you.

Hello: The Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival has been identified in news articles in several publications, including the New York Times, as a festival akin to some of the biggest and most well known bluegrass festivals, including Telluride Bluegrass Festival, which has a Wikipedia Page. In other words, both Telluride and Grey Fox have proven to be noteworthy or notable. I have amended the draft to add two more newspaper citations for a total of 6 footnoted citations. Please reconsider your rejection. Further, I have had trouble upload photos to the site which were provided to me by the Grey Fox Blue Grass Festival staff from photographers that gave the organization full use permission. I am not sure why they are not uploading. Thank you for reviewing this page and for your reconsideration.

21:37:04, 30 January 2016 review of submission by Mirialova


Hello, I would appreciate more specifics regarding your question of the subject's notability and my use of references. I have cited several articles from The Washington Post, including an editorial on the occasion of Scheiber's retirement. To my knowledge, for the Washington Post to run an editorial about the end of someone's career is very rare, and speaks to the subject's notability. The interview of Walter Scheiber by Don Nicoll was taped for the Edmund Muskie Archives at Bates College, and resides in those Archives. If your concern is with my citations of material from the MWCOG and NARC websites, I would be happy to remove them and I believe there would still be sufficient material to establish notability. I have added a few sources in the City Management section, and have another source from the Washingtonian Magazine. Before I resubmit this, I would very much appreciate more detailed feedback to guide my revision.

U5 does not apply to stale drafts

Hi SwisterTwister,

criterion U5 does not apply to stale drafts. Most of what you have been labelling as such are attempted drafts, not a dubions web hosting. The only one I delete with U5 was a political candidate statement. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:54, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Graeme Bartlett Yes, unfortunately, I noticed that but the fact is several other users (at least close to 20) have in fact deleted these type of articles as U5 because, for example, User:Er.abinkurian/Abin kurian is an obvious autobiography and has no actual meaningful draft materials. Furthermore, the fact that these accounts are SPA with no further activity and improvements may it applicable for U5 (see WP:U5). I hope you will reconsider as you can basically ask any other user such as, RHaworth, DGG, Boing! said Zebedee, Jimfbleak, Liz, Northamerica1000 and several others. SwisterTwister talk 18:36, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If it is a stale draft of something already in WP, I usually delete it as G6, specifying unneeded duplicate. If they were coded U5, I delete them nonetheless. but I change the reason. DGG ( talk ) 18:48, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep up the good work. Here's a suggestion: instead of U5 slap the following at the top of offending pages: {{subst:AFC submission/draftnew}} {{db-g13}} .
But one request - check CAT:CSD from time to time and when its main section exceeds about 200 artices, suspend your operations to give us poor admins time to catch up. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:15, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the stale drafts I've deleted are clear G13s and have been marked as such. I'm not aware of deleting a stale draft with a U5 criteria but it might have happened. Sometimes, when the page is a biography of an editor, it's clear U5 material but the author might have intended the page to be a draft for a future article. Liz Read!

Hi SwisterTwister! Thanks you for reviewing the article on Mads Munk. I can see that you declined the submission of the article based on your opinion that the article does not adequately show the subject's notability. Can you help me with a little more guidance here, since I am not quite sure why the article doesn't meet the required criteria? The article has recently been updated with references to coverage on IMDb.com, Financial Times, Wallpaper Magazine, and Scandinavian Traveller as well as a all major Danish Business papers - Business, Borsen, Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten, Aarhus Stiftstidende (which I understand can be hard to verify for a non-Danish speaking person, but I see that Wikipedia aknowledges non-English sources as reliable too). I have seen a number of articles on film producers with much less documentation than this, e.g. Georges Dancigers, Lars Jönsson, M. Saravanan, Erik Crone and many more.

Notability

Hi SwisterTwister

How is one firm less notable than another, especially when Wikipedia has a whole Category for these kinds of companies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Private_equity_firms_of_the_United_Kingdom), all of which have less sources than the post I am writing, and none which are noted as needing more sources.

I strongly believe that the sources I have provided prove notability. As LaMona suggested, they were unable to access jstor website, because of their password and the like. This is not a sufficient reason to decline. You can see notability through the Arab Writers Union website and also through jstor, which is the official publication of the French Institute of Arabic Studies. Add to this the dedication of different authors in the 20th century, all are named and referred to, and also the reputed Le Monde journal. Take this for example: http://www.jstor.org/stable/41608456?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents Which is by itself a proof of notability. Hope to take it into consideration.

Hi SwisterTwister,

Noting Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Abeiku Okai/Senya Beraku Akumase Festival, where it was noted that you failed to notify the page creator of the nomination to delete, have you considered enabling and using Wikipedia:Twinkle? It makes the fairly complex steps of XfD nominations very easy. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:57, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SmokeyJoe I suppose but frankly the account only edited a few times making me think they were an SPA. At best, they may remember their article immediately and thus see the MfD listing.

Hello SwisterTwister; I was wondering about your review of this page... I stumbled on it earlier today and noticed it had been created out of a re-direct relating to the surname Merla by a very new editor (account only minutes old) who initially blanked the page. Another editor then restored the re-direct, but the new editor then re-created the page for a company named Merla. It seems to me that there may be a COI (just a suspicion) and the page appears promotional and is unreferenced as far as I can tell. I wonder if the page should be allowed to stand as it is. I did at one point consider just restoring the re-direct. On another note thanks for always reviewing my submissions so quickly! :) Regards, Eagleash (talk) 21:35, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So, first I'll try to replace the links to their website with some more 3rd party sources, I do see where you're coming from there. I was wondering though, are there any sections that you think are entirely insignificant or unsuitable and I should just remove them? I think the page is an interesting read, but if you feel that some of the info should just be deleted that's fine with me.

Thanks!

Kirby Allan (Pittman)

I've been struggling with an article about Kirby Allen. He worked with Chaino in the late 1950's and their work has been re-released many times since then.

The primary issue with the article seems to be in regard to the specific citations, or their placement within the article. I'm fairly sure that Allen meets the following criteria of notability:

If disagreement remains about this article, I'd like to suggest the possibility that a link be provided for Allan, to Chaino's article, or that portions of this article be {merge}d with Chaino's.


(To keep your page tidy, I'm placing a ref section below. Please edit or delete as needed.)

Greetings, I see that you reviewed my draft submission on Crelow and objected to its lack of notability and insufficiently "solid" third-party references. To address the notability issue, I have rewritten the lead section, which now says that Crelow is the first online marketplace for commercial real estate. It is the first, but perhaps out of excessive modesty, I did not assert that in the original draft. As far as references go, I should have thought the leading newspapers in Minneapolis, Denver, and Houston would be sufficient, along with the primary business journals for those cities and Seattle. But there will shortly be articles about Crelow in the San Jose Mercury News and the Los Angeles Times as well. Would that be sufficient? If so, I will resubmit the article when those additional news stories appear. Thanks, Burgo Fitzgerald Burgo Fitzgerald (talk) 20:59, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

help understand National Trust paintings

There is a set of Paintings by Jane Hawkins - one of Mary Catherine Stanley, Lady Derby and I would be delighted if it was possible to upload them to commons and use them in the articles - but I don't understand the rules about if they are possible to use or not. I noticed you mention you have added images and thought you might be the person to ask about it? The paintings are referenced on the page about Jane Hawkins if that helps? 🍺 Antiqueight chat 22:08, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

{{SAFESUBST:Void|

Hey,

I am trying to create a few pages on Litigation funders. I am currently writing my PHD around the industry, which is really quite pivotal, but very few companies are listed on Wikipedia.

The only company which I have seen on Wikipedia so far is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbour_Litigation_Funding and I cant tell what makes that page more worthy of note than the one I wrote. I wondered if you could please offer me some guidance?

Thanks

Ben

Benm182, WP is an encyclopedia, summarizing information published elsewhere. Therefore, we need references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements. They have to be about the firm itself. Unlike a Ph.D thesis, Wikipedia does not do analysis or write articles based on primary sources such as H of Commons hearings. Nor does an analysis of case where the firm presented an analysis of the evidence show a major role of the firm, unless there are specific third party statements that specially saw how their information was critical or decisive. Please see our explanation about original research, WP:OR, and our page about WP:Reliable sources. It is in fact possible that this will be difficult to do for this firm,; it often is for small specialized companies of vartious sorts.
This is very different from academic writing, which is expected to be original research. The nearest analog in the academic world to a WP article might be a section in an advanced textbook, which is expected to just present the accepted view, based on documentation from published studies.
By the way, once your thesis has been accepted and is publicly available, then it can be used as a source. DGG ( talk ) 19:56, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing articles

Hi SwisterTwister. May I ask what you do when reviewing articles (normal articles, not AfCs)? Your page curation log sometimes lists up to 5 reviewed articles per minute, but I can hardly believe that you can check entire articles in 12 seconds, let alone tag them for problems. The BLP about Julito Buhisan Cortes for example was merely an infobox and should have been PRODded for a lack of references (I have done so by the way), but despite the issues, you plainly marked it as reviewed. - HyperGaruda (talk) 11:42, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But it's trivial to add it,I just did in less than one-minute. T We've never deleted an article on a RC bishop. hey all have findable sources. DGG ( talk ) 19:39, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@DGG: That particular BLP was not my point. I am merely wondering how one can properly check a new article for problems in the nigh impossibly short span of <12 seconds. Yes I am aware of page curation tools, but it should take some time for a human mind to finish e.g. a checklist of potential issues. That is all, of course, dependent on SwisterTwister's definition of "reviewing", but I was under the impression that reviewing meant checking an article for errors and addressing them by either fixing or tagging. - HyperGaruda (talk) 21:24, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, I waited because I believed the author would continue working because the article was imaginably not finished. It's worth noting I actually watchlist any articles I find to need close examination and work. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 21:27, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My own top rate is about 2 per minute , but sometimes a little faster when there are obvious problems, or an obvious lack of problems. And of course often slower, sometimes much slower like 2 a day, when it takes some thinking. DGG ( talk ) 02:19, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

13:44:03, 8 February 2016 review of submission by Ninskip


Hi SwisterTwister, you can see I've been working on this article for a while - its an info article on TransRe (inline with many reinsurance companies like Swiss Re, Munich Re, etc). We had a recent exchange with your articles creation team and therefore I toned down the language and removed some references. I can imagine you guys are really busy, proving a invaluable reference for the world, but I was wondering if there were any further pointers or guidenance you could provide, or even if you could assist I'd be really grateful.

many thanks,

Neil.

Ninskip (talk) 13:44, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ninskip, you might start by integrating the 3rd party external links into the references, and writing in paragraphs, not tables. Then you might want to remove those references which are essentially press releases. unless they are needed to document specific uncontroversial facts. And some financial information would help show the importance. DGG ( talk ) 19:44, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

White_pixelization

Hi there, I've just been linked to the AFD for this article, I didn't realise there had been a second one after the first AFD was decided to keep. Anyway, I've provided a credible source and request to keep the article perhaps with a better outside of Sweden rewrite of the article (Which I'm willing to do) as this is done also in Germany. In Germany it is done to keep anonymity of suspects prior to conviction as per German Law. There isn't really a race aspect to it, more just to make every pixelated person look the same regardless. The fact is even prior to the refugee crisis, images were pixelated in this was for exactly the same reason, not to protect refugee crimes as the original article claimed. Thanks in advance. Projectmayhem666 (talk) 14:07, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've compiled a list of sources mainly from Germany so I'll be able to rewrite and fully source the article this weekend. I will give until Friday for you to reconsider the deletion on the basis I will rewrite and fully reference the article with official sources, mainly the 12.1 Press Code section 5 which deals with keeping the identities of perpetrators completely anonymous from any profiling, including racial profiling. After Friday I'll be putting in an undeletion request to userfy the page so I can completely rewrite it. Projectmayhem666 (talk) 20:28, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

<-- 1. This company has a significant presence in the EU, Middle East and Asian markets through wholesale coffee sales and through company owned and franchised coffee houses. 2. The company's heads have made important contributions to the study of coffee roasting, including publishing articles in scientific journals. 3. The company's coffee has been recommended to consumers through off-line consumer magazines. Because other recommendations of the coffee are through blogs (which do not qualify as acceptable sources), they have not been included in the article. 4. Its partnerships with foreign businesses have been reported on in both English and non-English industry journals/newspapers (online or off-line). 5. With Google translate, it is possible--if you possess a copy of the offline magazines--to understand the nature of each article. The articles cited are not mere mention. I could upload the PDFs to Wikipedia, however, I can't do so until the article leaves draft. The PDFs are of published articles, so I can only upload them using fair-use copyright rules.

While I have included references which are 'mere mentions' and don't weigh in, I understand that consumer magazines do qualify under the rules. While "The National Enquirer" would not, I believe a European equivalent to "Good Housekeeping" should.

I included the 'mere mentions' primarily to back up the coverage of their expansion.

I recognize this article requires ongoing improvements, however, I believe this draft qualifies for entry at the lowest level permissible.-->

schools

Is it really your intent to challenge the compromise on schools? I'd think that we have quite sufficient articles that really need deletion to waste time on debating what would quite literally be tens of thousands of these. Before the compromise, we sometimes had 10 or 15 of these every day,about a 20% increase in the number of afds to consider. The results weren't even deleting the worst of them--the results were essentially random in terms of importance or quality, depending on who showed up and how strongly the article was attacked & defended.

21:15:43, 8 February 2016 review of submission by CommsPro123


Hello:

I submitted the page "Xavient Information Systems" a few weeks ago and it was denied on the grounds of a lack of notability. However, I understand notability is dependent upon having significant coverage in several reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Based on these criteria, Xavient's page should be reconsidered regarding notability, as

  • a) we provided 10 references, showing sufficient "significant" coverage and
  • b) the coverage is from reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.

Xavient's coverage in CableFax, Investor's Business Daily and Broadband Technology Report especially should provide substantive evidence of notability, especially compared to the following companies' pages:

CableFax and Broadband Technology Report have been used as sources on multiple other company pages (CableFax: INSP (TV network), Full Channel, Blackboard Wars; Broadband Technology Report: Integrated Broadband Services, Pixelmetrix, Comcast Business) which supports the claim that Xavient's presence in these outlets constitutes a higher degree of notability than has been recognized.

Please reconsider Xavient's notability.

CommsPro123 (talk) 21:15, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CommsPro123 Hello and thanks! However, the current article is still not satisfying notability guidelines. It will also need any further available solid in-depth third-party sources overall. SwisterTwister talk 21:21, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SwisterTwister. I'm still working on the Xavient draft page but I need more help and was hoping you could direct me to a Wikipedia user who specializes in editing IT/technology pages and who would be able to provide a steadier stream of input as I continue to work on Xavient's page. I tried to use the Teahouse with little success and despite having a "Request for Adoption" sticker on my user page for several months, no one has adopted me. Could you put me in touch with an IT/Tech editor or someone who might adopt me? Thanks. CommsPro123 (talk)

17:30:30, 10 February 2016 review of submission by Jackieloebach


I would just like some clarification regarding why the references provided are insufficient. Some of the references listed include government websites and a published book. The newspapers listed are well-renowned publishers. Any direction or insight you can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I'm going to respond to this, as I tend to specialize in school notability questions. We have a standard practice that any degree-granting high school or secondary school can have an article. It is not clear from the article whether this is indeed a degree-granting school, or a school that offers individual remote courses. I've examined the school's website in detail, and I finally did find the [4] and it does. The article needs to clarify this. It also needs some numbers: I see some approximate numbers on the web site for the number of people taking courses, but not for the number of people completing their full high school program atthe school. If nobody or almost nobody has done so, there may need to be a discussion. DGG ( talk ) 21:12, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of userspace pages

Hello, David. I've been deleting userspace pages which you have tagged for speedy deletion. I see that you have been systematically working through the alphabet, and are now up to H. You must have put quite a lot of work into checking huge numbers of pages, and you are to be congratulated on dealing with a lot of junk which really should have been deleted years ago, but nobody put in the work of checking. In my opinion, some of your most useful work is tagging unambiguously promotional pages. However, I am less sure about the value of tagging a page "because it is a userspace draft containing only the default Article Wizard text, and the user who created the page has been inactive for at least one year". The huge number of pages you have tagged take up a considerable amount of administrator time, which could be spent on other things, and while in my opinion the time is worth spending when it is removing such things as spam, I am less convinced that taking time away from other work in order to delete essentially empty pages is a good idea. You may therefore like to consider leaving those pages. Obviously, it's up to you, but that's a suggestion.

Submission declined for Netop Remote Control

Hi SwisterTwister,

Some time ago you declined the submission of this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Netop_Remote_Control&redirect=no with the reason of lack of notability. I just want to point out that Netop Remote Control has been on the market for around 30 years and is one of the most widespread remote access tools in the world. Netop has millions of users and and cannot be regarded as not notable. Netop Remote Control is far more notable than most of the tools you can find on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_desktop_software!

Many IT magazines and IT related web pages have produced reviews and comparisons where Netop Remote Control has been regarded as one of the best remote access tools. So I should think that it is fair to say that Netop Remote Control can be listed among all the other tools for remote access.

I should be happy to do whatever I can to improve the article and have more people contribute and elevate its content.

Money Pump

It seems that you are quite busy, so let me be brief.

I occasionally consult Wikipedia, and fix mistakes when I find them in my own area of expertise. Recently, I looked up and fixed Dutch Book by adding a paragraph of clear explanation to central idea. I was surprised to find that Money Pump redirects to the Dutch book, and is not mentioned in the Dutch Book. The Dutch Book is an argument about preferences over lotteries which lead to subjective probabilties. The Money Pump is used within this argument to show that preferences must be transitive. These are two separate, but related arguments.

The redirect is wrong, since it confuses two similar arguments. My explanations provide a good introduction to the topic. If someone can do better, they should improve upon it. Reverting to the REDIRECT of Money Pump is goes back to a mistake and a confusion, abandoning an important clarification. Asaduzaman (talk) 06:53, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question about a draft

Dear SwisterTwister,

Thanks for reviewing my submission !

I’ve read your comments and the guidelines that Wikipedia provides but I’m still not sure what exactly needs to be improved.

You pointed out that Wikipedia requires significant coverage and reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I tried to include various reliable articles about the Varkert project, both from conservative and liberal newspapers and magazines. There are more articles about the subject but most of them are unfortunately only in Hungarian and I haven’t managed to find more articles in English, as this was a local/national project. Also, I’m not sure if this was a problem or not, but because the project and the case started 14 years ago, these articles are not available on the internet.

I would really appreciate if you could give me specific examples about what was wrong with my article and what kind of reliable sources you were (or I should be) looking for.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Keeping the article Bars4Justice in draft mode seems odd due to the subject matter and historic significance of the film. I reviewed the sources and found that the film is in The Los Angeles Sentinel which is the only and most prominent long running African American Los Angeles newspaper. Reliable doesn't mean popular or mainstream or does it?

This was written in the Arizona Republic "ASU Black History Month ASU has a many events planned out during the month of February and many are open to the public. Options include a storytellers series, lectures, a session on traditional African dances, a mural project and a discussion on race and social injustice, which will follow a viewing of the documentary Bars4Justice. The short film was shot on location in Ferguson, Missouri, during the one-year anniversary of the shooting of Michael Brown. A full list of events can be viewed at eoss.asu.edu/student-engagement/culture/black-history."

I also found Reliable sources including University of Arizona newspaper written by a Professor who is using the film as a teaching guide.

Blacklivesmatter wiki lists the film.

Dear SisterTwister I have used references from several media outlets, including newspapers and magazines. I was hoping you could please elaborate on why you deemed these sources unreliable and not to prove the subject's notability. Thank you very much.

Apology for my confusion

I'm afraid I can't figure out whether the page John Goldsmith, whose speedy deletion you reviewed, should be contested or not — you can probably see I went back and forth trying to address the issue correctly. Maybe you can help. My feeling is that "John Goldsmith" should redirect to "John Goldsmith (disambiguation)" since none of the John Goldsmiths on the disambig page are of primary prominence. I apologize for my confusion and for asking for help; I've also asked User:Some Gadget Geek, who tagged the page, for help.

Hi SwisterTwister, thanks for taking another look at my entry.

I'd understood from @Tokyogirl79: (original rejection) that if the film had been taken into the Museum's Collection that would make it notable in its own right and therefore there wasn't a need to confirm its notoriety in the press?

If that is the case, I believe it has been evidenced that the film is in the collection due to the ShowSpace it was exhibited in.

But please advise?

Thanks

Amanda Paul (talk) 16:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Amanda Paul As mentioned, the article has potential but simply still needs any further available sources. Sincerely, SwisterTwister talk 19:08, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
SwisterTwister I'm sorry, but that didn't address my question at all. What I was asking was, that the fact that it's been taken into a globally recognised Museum Museum of London is surely sufficient enough to establish its notability. The work, which is used to example how Londoners record their lives in the 21st Century (hence the title of the exhibition) had been compared by the curator to the likes of Samuel Pepys and James Boswell dairies in it's reflection of contemporary London Life.
As it will never receive a general cinema release, it cannot be expected to garner large press as a Movie would. But should that make it any less notable as a piece of work as it will be archived for the access of future generations?
Which additionally would appear to concur with the following:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(films)#cite_note-4
Other evidence of Notability "The film was selected for preservation in a national archive.[4]"
I believe editors are treating this as a commercially produced movie which would be open to reviews etc. but it is not that type of film.
Any further assistance gratefully received?

Review of submission by KatieTakacs

Draft: Highfive Technologies, Inc. If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material. "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent. We have listed sources that meet these requirements. Please identify those that do not meet these requirements. KatieTakacs (talk) 17:53, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article I submitted was rejected because the reviewer was not convinced the subject was notable. I can't understand how this can be--the person is an academic professor and the article clearly demonstrated the following:

1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.

2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.

3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor (e.g., the IEEE).

5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon).

I'm not clear on what more you need. Please help!

Thanks and a question.

Thanks for reviewing my Curt Massey article. I appreciate that.

I have one question related to the article. Soon after I posted it, an editor changed the "Death" section to a subsection under "Personal life." Until now, I have been putting "Death" as a separate main section in the biographical articles that I created. Is that incorrect? Should I have been putting it as a subsection of "Personal life" all along? Eddie Blick (talk) 02:06, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Men On The Border

Hey, I was wondering if you could weigh in at Draft:Men On The Border. The user (PCMorphy72) has been very nice and patient and there's currently four sources that I think would be considered notability-giving reliable sources. This and this are reviews for their work. They're brief, but they're written by Arbetarbladet and Sunday Mercury. I know that the Mercury is a tabloid and they're sources that I tend to avoid using, but there's never any sort of set thing against tabloids unless they prove themselves to be out and out untrustworthy and this is a review, not an article about the band. This is an article that talks about an upcoming performance and this is a review of that performance. Both are published in the Gefle Dagblad, which is categorized as a major media outlet on the Gävle article, but they're written by different people.

This isn't heavy, but I think it's enough to where the group could weakly pass NBAND. There's supposed to be an event in October that could result in more coverage, but of course that's not a guarantee. My inclination is that we could accept it, but I'm just somewhat concerned about its survival in the mainspace since AfC articles do tend to get heavily scrutinized. I figured that a second opinion would be good before making any major moves. What do you think? I'll trust your opinion in this. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:28, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tokyogirl79 My initial thoughts are that there's simply not enough and, at best, this could simply be accepted as such and wait for further better coverage but I'm still questionable about it, so we may have to draft it where it currently is for now. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 06:30, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
All right, thanks. In the meanwhile, since you thought a number of 4 sources could have been enough to justify notability, could you suggest (although you considered as "in passing" the mentioning on the very popular NME magazine) if it's the case to add one (or more) further source "till now" from this list? (for the notability of the last event mentioned in the article, i.e. an 8th source after sources [6] and [7]):

The proposed draft (A.G. Huntsman Award) page is no less notable than other similar existing wiki pages on named awards in the fields of oceanography and ecology. Such as:
G. Evelyn Hutchinson Award
A.C. Redfield Lifetime Achievement Award
Robert H. MacArthur Award
Maurice Ewing Medal
Roger Revelle Medal

You're right, DragonSnake - there are quite a few articles on Wikipedia that suck. Doesn't mean that new ones should also be allowed which don't meet Wikipedia standards. Over time, standards have improved, 5-10 years ago, almost anything was allowed on. As time goes on, we weed out the articles which shouldn't be here. But there are only about 2500 active volunteer editors, and over 5 million articles, so some crap still remains. Your argument is called other stuff exists - not a valid argument for inclusion. We need about 3 in-depth articles from independent sources to show the award is notable. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 14:23, 26 February 2016 (UTC) (talk page stalker)[reply]

The reason given for rejecting the event is that it's not notable enough. I beg to disagree. In addition to the references already in the submitted WIKI article, there have been more attention to this event in the last 3 weeks.

On the 30th anniversary of the walkout, 17 of the 35 tabulators held a reunion in Manila. The Filipino media was clamouring for interviews with the tabulators, and they agreed to several requests from many media organisations. The walkout by the tabulators was described as a pivotal event leading to the people power revolution at EDSA which saw the overthrow of dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

Here are links to print and TV interviews and commentary over the past three weeks:

Daniel Horvath (actor) article

@SwisterTwister firs of all thank you very much for your massage, and for your dedication to the community of wikipedia,I really appreciate it. As you can see I have made the article about the actor Daniel Horvath from the Spanish language and really used all the valued sources in order to make perfect contribution to wikipedia and to its community. Therefore if you can go through the page and if you see and approve it I kindly ask you to take out the pop up window about the orphan article (because it has all the necessary links to the related articles) and the biography has all the necessary situation ( the article in Spanish and Russian all have been approve) Thank you very much again for your time and grateful contribution for the society of wikipedia. Looking forward.--Anonimoushh (talk) 15:55, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anonimoushh What the article actually needs are other articles, not WikiProject or talk pages, but other actual encyclopedia articles, because there currently are none. For example, linking his current article at articles for his films will connect his article and thus no longer be orphaned. Sincerely, SwisterTwister talk 19:36, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@SwisterTwister thank you so much for your answer I really appreciate it, I made all the links for the official webs and his films therefore I really hope you will like it and accept it as a good job.

Hi SwisterTwister,

In November you reviewed my page and declined it due to the lack of showing the subjects notability. The page was then deleted by your colleague Anthony Bradbury. We have made a lot of edits since to the copy with the guidelines from Wikipedia. Please could you be so kind and review the updated version?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Stale

I would like to start a discussion at CSD:Talk to discuss how best to handle some of the stale userdrafts which do not currently fall neatly into any of the existing CSD categories.

I wanted to start with a brief history and started to write that you undertook the enormous task of going through Category:Stale userspace drafts to identify pages which deserve deletion. However, even as I started writing those words I realize I did not know the precise history. I’m not sure with your recent efforts started with that, started with something else and it became that or if your process is something other than I just described. Would you be so kind as to give me a brief history so that I can introduce the subject appropriately?

My intention is to point out that almost all of your nominations are quite clear-cut, but there may be a few that deserve further discussion. At the moment, it isn’t clear to me whether the best approach is to simply accept the current CSD criteria which might mean that a few of the useless drafts should simply be retained, whether we ought to tweak the current criteria to cover some of these useless pages, whether we ought to identify a new CSD to cover the situations or something else entirely. I hope to open up a discussion but I’d like to make sure I start with facts.--S Philbrick(Talk) 19:50, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sphilbrick When I started at Unused Drafts, I simply skipped or watchlisted anything that was questionable and may need MfD. Now recently, when I noticed so many of these were obvious starting companies and thus unlikely notable, I simply tag it as U5 if I believe it's simply not needed.

For example: John Jones started an article for his company with only the basic information (Jones & Associates Company was founded in 2011 by John Jones in Cleveland, Ohio) with nothing but their own websites and a few press releases. If it was of serious concern, I considered tagging for G11 and U5 especially because some of these cases, the article was started the exact year or shortly before the company started (I.e. Company started in 2011 and the article was started in 2011). Also, this was the same case with bands also, where it was obviously a band member who started the article with nothing else.

It's worth noting I would execute my own searches to find any available sources and if I found only their press releases and own websites or perhaps simply nothing at all, I would tag it as G11 or U5. This goes for MfD also, where a user would nominate an article with nothing but basic information, I would speedy tag it instead. If some of these were main article space, A7 would be applicable but but it is not (at least for user and draftspace). I know someone would think that some of these are a "work in progress" and it's still a draft with potential but some of these simply seem obvious enough to not be notable and not needed.

I know there's some talk at CSD:Talk about applying an expiration date (think of it as a close G13) and also to where drafts can also be deleted if the user had no enthusiasm for Wikipedia or any serious interests. It's also interesting to mention that WP:G13 actually mentions it could be applicable for user drafts but my understanding of it is that it needs to be explicitly tagged as AfC (not simply the Article Wizard itself). It's also worth noting that I would search to see if there was and currently still is a Wikipedia mainspace article and, of these, I would notice they had actually been deleted years before, so naturally, I would speedy tag it as G11 if that's how the original deletion went. Recently, a few cases, I'll simply redirect it to the existing article if it seems convincing enough.

Hi SwisterTwister. I resubmitted the article about the Namibian park. Originally it was lacking reliable sources. It has sources from the South West African Administration, the Namibian Ministry of Environment and Tourism, the University of Pretoria, The Nambian Newspaper and the New Era Newspaper among others. The article should be moved to "Hardap Recreation Resort" though, since this seems to be the offical name. There are 2 interwikis btw: de:Erholungsgebiet Hardap and uk:Рекреаційний курорт Гардап.

Thanks for the review. The Flux Capacitors have countless references. I just didn't think that anything amounts anywhere close to CNN contacting the band to feature them, bringing them into their Los Angeles bureau, shelling out money for the story, and having Rocsi Diaz do the interview. CNN's interest should eclipse all the small fries. Or is that not the case? If not, I'll add a bunch more references. Just can't get more credible than CNN.

May I submit that the references cited are from extremely credible media sources few of which date back to the year 1857 (The Times Of India) which is India's leading English daily. Also online media properties have published in-depth coverage on the subject. I would request you to kindly review the suggested references as these are not trivial and have been acknowledged for their depth and substance. Seeking your support.
