Q on reference source language
07:53:55, 14 November 2017 review of submission by FriendlyB
Dear Thereodislong,
thank you for reviewing the draft "Dr. Petry Textile Auxiliaries".
For the sources, I cited independent sources, such as - http://www.genios.de/fachzeitschriften/artikel/MTB/20080617/umweltschutz-und-nachhaltigkeit-in-/060817061.html - https://www.biooekonomie-bw.de/de/fachbeitrag/aktuell/insektenchitin-macht-textilherstellung-nachhaltiger/
In order to have more evidence, I added information from further independent sources and references: - https://www.bloomberg.com/profiles/companies/6311207Z:GR-textilchemie-dr-petry-gmbh - https://www.bluesign.com/industry/chemical-suppliers/references/textilchemie-dr-petry
Thank you in advance for re-reviewing.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for your assistance with Draft:InnoCare. I have included
![]() | The following Wikipedia contributor may be personally or professionally connected to the subject of this article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view.

and noted it on your user page that I work for that company. They're not paying me to create this page, I just think it would cool to have a Wikipedia page. Let me know if there's anything else you can suggest to improve my draft. I appreciate your help!

Hi there, thank very much for your care and consideration to to help build this page. I can understand why the review was rejected, as i hadn't cited enough sources on the first draft. I was wondering if you'd mind having a read over the latest draft and checking if it is better now thank you. SP

Dear Theroadislong
Hope you are fine and doing good.
I am requesting for a review again as the major comment for rejection/decline of this article was its Reference section or having less references. Now, the draft has been updated, and more than 20 solid references have been employed, with more historical details, and best possible bibliographic support in the light of the available literature. This single page article is now having over 25 appropriate references, and are strengthened with new data.
Your anticipation in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Sincere Regards
The objected references (facebook) has been udpated with the departmental URLS (links to the webpages). Thank you for the Prompt response and providing support to make this draft better.
Dear Theroadislong
Thank you very much for your prompt response.
The objected references (facebook) has been udpated with the departmental URLS (links to the webpages). I think, these were the most up to dated and regularly updating references. Moreover, the last paragraph was deleted, because the book describing the paragraph and the mentioned material is in press (which is written by Dr. Ikram), and once the book got published, the three to four lines paragraph will be inserted again.
I do hope, that the draft will get approved now and will get online, as after coming across other such articles, this one seems to be far better than those.
Your prompt and positive anticipation in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation
Sincere Regards

Hi Theroadislong! I have recently uploaded a draft of the article "Admitad" here and you have declined it. Could you kindly explain what can I do to make it right? Is it possible to work with you as my mentor on the draft? Or, maybe, you can help with writing, could you kindly tell me what is the best option?
admitad is a global company, it already helps over 630,000 people worldwide. I believe, that it needs to be on Wikipedia.

Hi,
So I was working on this page of a company called Baseline Ventures India. When I submitted the first draft, I got feedback saying that it sounded more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia entry. So I reworked on the article in consultation with your team. And submitted the article. I have got the same feedback. I spoke to your team and worked on their feedback, I referred to other sports marketing companies like WMG, IMG, Gestifute for further references. I worked exactly on those lines. Yet it has got submitted whereas their articles with all mention of the kind of money they have made and business done appears on your website. I will await further feedback to understand why the article got rejected and how can I finally get this submitted.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback. No, I'm not being paid to do this and have no conflict of interest to declare. Just, it seems obvious to me - by the Google searches for 'Galsworthy wikipedia' and Wikipedia internal references, and by his 60k twitter followers and media appearances/references - that Galsworthy should have his own page. I'll find some more sources. Sorry - I'm learning with this! Caroline

Teahouse invites to WP:ORGNAME violators
First off, thanks for all the work you do reviewing AFC/draft material. I know it is a severely backlogged area and needs a all the help it can get.
That being said, I have noticed that quite often when reviewing reports at UAA, I find you have invited accounts with obvious username violations to the Teahouse, sometimes even names you have yourself reported for those violations. Does that not strike you as a bit inconsistent? Inviting them to discuss things while at the same time requesting they be blocked for obvious policy violations? It feels like a game of Good cop/bad cop only without an actual goal in mind. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:23, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Is the article now acceptable ? Mileslong123 (talk) 17:23, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
Firstly no I do not work for the company nor am I being paid by them. My Brother worked for them but left earlier this year, that is how I know the company and as they didn't have an entry thought it would be a good one to start my Wiki career. This company has been around since google started, they have a really interesting story and are a major player in their field. SO, your original issue was the article seemed to be biased and not independent enough, now it's the reference material that isn't independent enough or of good enough quality. So as I am independant and these are independent published articles from numerous different sources (books and magazine articles) I am at a loss as to what you consider a good enough source of reference. A person can not add an entry on a subject they know nothing about. Obviously. So for someone to be bothered enough to spend time doing an entry there has to be a passion for the subject. This passion can be found in many wiki articles. So based on this insight can you provide any constructive comments? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mileslong123 (talk • contribs) 07:49, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
- You are wrong a person certainly can add an entry on something they know nothing about, anything you know about the company is irrelevant. Wikipedia has essentially no interest in what you or I have to say about the company. We only summarise what reliable, independent published sources have to say about a subject.
- This [1] is a primary source.
- This [2] is just a listing. Its an article, why are you saying this is a listing? It's a full chapter.
- This [3] doesn't mention Symbiant. Yes it does on page 500
- This [4] is just a listing again. A full chapter is not a listing. This is an article. from page 25 onwards.
- This [5] is a good reference and we need more in-depth ones like this.
Hope this is useful you can ask for further help at the Teahouse. Theroadislong (talk) 08:35, 4 May 2018 (UTC) What is your definition of a listing ?

- You have apparently uploaded documents to Google Drive to use as a source this is just not acceptable. See WP:RS for what constitutes a reliable source. Theroadislong (talk) 20:55, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Reliable source I met criteria.
Sir,
That is what I thought. Please be advised that my source meets the criteria listed. It is a sworn statement, a deposition, taken by a former Dean of MUSC.
Wikipedia. ...Must be produced by a reliable third party and be properly cited. Additionally, an archived copy of the media must exist. It is convenient, but by no means necessary, for the archived copy to be accessible via the Internet.
A third party produced the deposition of the dean under oath. The third party is reliable and it is archived. The posting of the deposition and whom took it and where it is archived should meet all of the creitia of wikipedia. I made a statement and I am proving that it is correct, using the school's own words as the appropriate source.
Wikipedia
The reliability of a source depends on context. Each source must be carefully weighed to judge whether it is reliable for the statement being made in the Wikipedia article and is an appropriate source for that content. In general, the more people engaged in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the writing, the more reliable the publication.
My statement is 100 percent accurate. I am using the school's sworn statement as my source. To me it meet the criteria that the source must be reliable for the statement being made. I will try it again. I will document the third party who created the documents under oath. I will document where the document is archived. I will document the school official who made the remarks. I will provide a link to the actual document showing that is is a true reliable statement.
Please after I post it again do not take it down. I am meeting all of the requirements listed by wikipedia. I will have the location of where the document is and the third party who produced the document of my source under oath.
ThanksDewitt Travis (talk) 22:24, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Dewitt, you don't seem to understand what we mean by a reliable source. An article in the New York Times has been checked for accuracy, bias, etc. by editors, copy editors, and possibly fact-checkers. A deposition is one person's unsupported statement. The NYT article might be wrong; the deposition might be a pure jewel of clear truth. That does not matter when speaking in our collective voice. A statement tucked away in an archive somewhere does not constitute any form of published source, and certainly fails the language you quote about being subject to "more people engaged in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the writing". --Orange Mike | Talk 23:24, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Medical university of South Carolina
Sir,
I saw your edits. When I clicked it it did bring me to this page documented an English Wikipedia content guideline. It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions.
As you know I did use the sworn testimony from a dean at the medical university of South Carolina, which was recorded and archived by a third party whom I documented as my source and I also provided the sworn testimony to be viewed by all. It is not a published article in a book, but it does meet the overall purpose: Is the statement true and can it be backed up and verified by a reliable source.
I think this is an important edit on MUSC... The good and the bad. The school deprives students of their constitional rights before dismissing them by providing them no due process of law...Dewitt Travis (talk) 12:31, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Because Today I got clearance from the church for this information amd they appreciated your time and told If you need any additional information because this case was in news from 2014 and now their seems light as most of the people in area don’t know what exactly happened sp for that purpose and for the information about the chruch I had written this article.!

What references would be best for my article
Thanks for reviewing my article - I see what you mean about my references. Most of my information has come from books on the subject and a few documents of demolition records. Is it worth putting these books (with page references) on my references or must I find actual websites and online evidence. I am fascinated by the peerage system in Britain and would find it very satisfying for Wikipedia to have a complete encyclopaedia of all the peerage titles, (even the slightly obscure and unimpressive ones such as the Earldom of Deheubarth) so would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me.

Hi- am totally confused? This was submitted to Wiki previous (under British TV producers/directors) with changes requested to comply with guidelines. Also, I'm sorry if you feel I haven't done enough to qualify being included, but if after 30 years of being responsible for some of the UK's top TV shows and talent, then I'm not sure what does. I've noticed under Educating Essex the director was logged as David clews, please be aware I was the gallery director of this show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:3601:5800:A0B4:145:9852:5F96 (talk) 11:44, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Resubmission
I have make a few edits and resubmitted the draft: SerenataFlowers.com. I would be grateful if you would please review it and inform me of any more issue with the page. If there is, your help would be highly appreciated. Thank you. Jamesreadings (talk) 15:26, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Resubmission: Bret Weinstein
I've resubmitted this article that was initially rejected for not demonstrating the requisite notability of the subject. Since that rejection, Weinstein's notoriety in third-party outlets (like NYT) has increased dramatically and the article now reflects that fact. Let me know. Lukacris (talk) 18:17, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

re poss delete terence hogan
It was kind of you to let me know this is being discussed. I put up the page years ago. I recently came back to it to upload pictures. I wanted the page to say that crime does not pay. The page was edited by someone very kind. The photographs were deleted, that is fine. I am not amending or asking to add photos to this article anymore. I have a number of citations I have put in. I am so new to this that I am lost. I am so sorry to write to you but I cant understand why this is happening. I thought wiki was a family of kind people willing to help. It is all very upsetting and I do not know what to do? would you mind giving me your thoughtd kareenzKareenza (talk) 09:39, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Theroadislong (talk) 09:45, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
terence hogan
hello I think most of my article has been deleted now including the photograph. I dont understand why someone would be this cruel to do this. I cited everything and the original article has been online since 2011. I am new to wiki and some people just are not giving me a chance. I think the article is not on a deletion list but someone has more or less pulled every thin from it so it is a skeleton. Why would anyone do that, osh it is so upsetting and it is personal as someone obviously does not like me kareenzaKareenza (talk) 18:38, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- PLEASE don't take this personally! All Wikipedia article require citations for ALL content that is included, the content as written was not correctly sourced but it can all be added back as long as there are suitable sources. I would strongly advice you not to edit it and trust the community to create a worthwhile article it will happen I assure you. Theroadislong (talk) 18:42, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- You are very kind yes I have taken it personally as I am so new and I put in complete citations inc isbn and publisher etc of everything. Youtube link to the bbc which had researchers to check all facts. I detailed every book he has been in. so I am not sure why these citations were not looked at there were four, but prob not correctly put in. Anyway I will take your kind valuable advice and hope maybe someone will help create a better article but I have a feeling it will be forgotten which would be a shame as I try and use it to tell people crime does not pay. I had an awful childhood, always on the run and then stuck in boarding school so I never glamourise crime. But here I am moaning, forgive me and thank you again for your hopeful words to me kareenzaKareenza (talk) 18:59, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Clive Wilkins
Hi there Theroadislong,
Maybe this is the time the Clive Wilkins entry needs to be revised and seriously updated with more recent info. It has, as you have no doubt spotted, been some years since it was last looked at. Your comments suggest that the article needs references. How should references be added to the text? Please respond to explain and maybe give examples. I will update the entry and add verifiable references in the text and hope that moves the article in the right direction. If however the method of present of said info is incorrect please inform me and I will endeavour to change things to suit. With a bit of luck I might be able to work out how to add photos too. Best wishes
Jean Scott Thomson (talk) 10:41, 14 May 2018 (UTC)Jean Scott Thomson.
- Please read WP:REFB for help with referencing. I have had a quick look but can find no independent sources that mention him in depth. It will be deleted if you cannot find any. I was at college with him back in 1972 so would like his article to stay if possible! Theroadislong (talk) 11:02, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Clive Wilkins Artist and author
Hi there Theroadislong, You know sorting reference (for fear of losing the entry) on the wikipedia entry for Clive Wilkins, artist is not easy. Can you look over the changes I have made and see what you think? Feel free to tidy the entry up if you can. or alternatively give me some clues as to how this works.
Please don't delete the entry after 7 days as you suggest. It can be worked on to be improved. Best wishes Jean Scott Thomson (talk) 13:56, 14 May 2018 (UTC)Jean Scott Thomson
- I am not an admin so cannot delete the article but if it was sent to articles for deletion WP:AFD it would certainly be deleted as it is in a terrible state, the only working reference is a mirror (copy of Wikipedia) so isn't valid, the other external links you have added are primary sources. Articles on Wikipedia must be adequately supported by reliable sources so that information can be verified. We only summarise what reliable, independent published sources have to say about a subject. If there are no such sources then we cannot have an article. Do you have a connection with Wilkins by any chance? Theroadislong (talk) 14:48, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Clive Wilkins
Dear Theroadislong, Clive wonders who you might be if, as you say, you were on a foundation course together. Did you know each other well? Indeed, might you come to our aid and help salvage this Wikipedia page? I am sure we would be most happy to meet up to get this working properly. Are the references to research papers published as part of 'The Captured Thought' not viable then? This is work published and endorsed by an independent organisation,'The Royal Society' no less as well, as other notable scientific magazines, and indeed the providence to do this work came out of Clive's experience in both painting and writing as well as his position as artist in residence in the department of Psychology at Cambridge University. The opportunity to speak at the Hay Festival on two occasions is likewise an independant accolade that suggests some work of worth. Could you give some clue as to what is required here to make this work? Not being a regular contributor to Wikipedia results in all this seeming a little foreign and difficult to navigate I am afraid. Is there any way of having a page set up for us professionally in order to get this working efficiently?
Best wishes Jean Scott Thomson (talk) 16:16, 14 May 2018 (UTC)Jean Scott Thomson
- As I have a conflict of interest in that I went to college with him, it would be inappropriate for me to edit the article. Professional paid editing is VERY much frowned upon also. You should declare your conflict of interest on your user page and on the article's talk page too. Other editors are now editing and I have faith that if Clive is notable then the article will be cleaned up, revised and hopefully kept. All good wishes. 16:42, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi The road is long, indeed it is!! phew. Please have a look and tell me if the changes that have been made comply.

== Terence Hogan ==Template:Theroadislong
Hi Please dont give up on this. They took everything down and it is not the same. I am getting help with pics but am fighting the system. I feel very ignorant and not allowed to have a voice. I thought people were helping and maybe the heart of the article has gone for other peoples pleasure not mine. PLEASE rehelp me if you can. I have now got permission from THE daily mail re photos that Rehman wants. I am so over stressed with this I cant tell you. I am doing it because of my step mum who is very ill and may pass and I wanted her to see this. I do not know who is helping and who is not, I keep trying to please people and doing what they say because I believed they know best but this seems not right as I have been told so many things. I was accused of vanadalism, I was blocked, then the article was up for deletion, now all that has been reverted, now people drop in and out but I dont think they really care and ...I DONT KNOW what is happening, People come and go apart from Rehman who is doing pics. I am frightened that it will be left and just not finished. PLEASE PLEASE come back. No one approaches me and says are you ok with this karen, from my view I would never treat a person like this who has no knowledge of wiki. I have had to go to my Daily Mail editors and ask for copyright permission. I have had to worry my step mum, but Rehman has been amazing, but the article has been shredded and nobody cares. Maybe it is because of my newspaper who I work for I write for HEALTH and dont need someone to send me their sympathy for who I write for and I am very offended. Please support me, I am very lost in all this, and sometimes changes seem to be just for someone to say I know more than you but I have heard wiki does not like changes by a relative of an articles- I dont know what to say. My family cant believe this pls theroadislong help!!! kareenza
- @Kareenza: I'm not sure what the problem is? The article is in much better shape now apart from the last section which requires more citations. I'm afraid that Wikipedia doesn't consider the Daily Mail a reliable source for anything, so that source is best avoided, as for photographs if the copyright is yours (ie. you took the photographs) then you are free to upload them. No article is ever finished they are always works in progress, and this one is improving all the time. Theroadislong (talk) 14:51, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
