On the article about Wang Yan
Hi AngusWoof, thank you very much for your guidance. I've added more references independent to the subject and also some more content. Here's the new article: Draft:Wang Yan (entrepreneur) . Please advise if there's any thing I can do better. Thanks. --Hongkongneteyes (talk) 10:04, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
- I added some more feedback on the draft article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:45, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. More media coverage, articles and books added as independent sources; Content more neutral. Pls review it again. --Hongkongneteyes (talk) 02:48, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
- More professional and social activities digged out from my research. Hope these additions make the article more balanced. --Hongkongneteyes (talk) 03:58, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hi AngusWoof, some more minor changes have been done, links added. Your acceptance or further guidance will be highly appreciated, so that I can move on to the next article or dig deeper on this one. Many thanks. --Hongkongneteyes (talk) 00:54, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hongkongneteyes can you add a comment in the header or talk page about which reference items would meet WP:GNG? That is, they are secondary sources independent of the subject that give significant detail. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:13, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- @AngusWOOF: Following your comments, I reviewed the guidelines of WP:GNG and sorted out the reference items into 3 categories: 1/ those from secondary sources, independent of the subject giving significant details; 2/ those from secondary sources, independent of the subject giving brief details; 3/ those from primary sources that give verified details, but mainly based on biography or press releases related to the subject. I've replaced and eliminated all the tertiary sources from the references. Pls see the header of the article for details. Thanks.--Hongkongneteyes (talk) 09:51, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- @AngusWOOF: Looking forward to your feedback on my answers to your comments of November 3rd, any further suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks. Hongkongneteyes (talk) 14:58, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
- @AngusWOOF: Thank you for having taken time to point out the places to fix, I will get them done. I have never thought a wiki article could be so hard to produce. Amazing, a bit like a class on scientific research: more you try to prove more you dig out new elements; more you impose strict criteria on sources more you uncover different aspects of the subject. Will get back to you. Thanks. Hongkongneteyes (talk) 02:17, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Well it's not hard, but a good quality article that isn't a copy-paste of someone's corporate profile requires effort. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:10, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- @AngusWOOF: Thank you very much for your help to restructure the article and correct some of the verbiage. I've done other modifications following each of your comments. Please see the underlined italic notes after each modified point. Curiously, there's someone (Vrsanelamat) removed your previous comments in the header of the article while I was adding stuff into it, you may see in the "view history" page. Please let me know what you think about the modifications, I'll clean up the notes when you think they are OK. Thanks, Hongkongneteyes (talk) 08:35, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @AngusWOOF: Please let me know whether you have other comments on this article and how would you like me to proceed. Thanks. Hongkongneteyes (talk) 14:14, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Hongkongneteyes, I added some more feedback. If you can help organize the Career section and his activities while CEO and after retiring. Also in the other ventures section, the organizations he joined or founded need dates. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:48, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @AngusWOOF:, Done! Except 2 dates can't be found, all the others have been added with a handful of corrections. Please review. Thanks! Hongkongneteyes (talk) 14:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
Hongkongneteyes can you find a reference for his exact birthday? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:33, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @AngusWOOF:, first of all thank you for having approved the article. Though this was not the first article I created, I did learn quite a lot from this experience. Will try to find some reliable sources on the DOB. Please, when you get time, have a look on the other article I drafted Draft:Liu Guodao. Mnay thanks!

Request on 14:20:30, 29 October 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by CarlySila
Hi AngusWOOF, thank you for taking the time to review my page! I tried structuring it based off of the other similar companies I found on Wikipedia, but I definitely understand needing more external resources. I am working on that now to help prove that this is a notable topic. Is there a recommended amount of external sources I should aim for?
Could you provide more insight into what is too "peacock-y"? I tried writing just the facts, but I might be too close to my writing to see that I strayed. Your feedback can help me improve on this and future pages I work on.
Thanks again,
CarlySila (talk) 14:20, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- CarlySila, any verbiage where it looks like it is bragging about the company's success, or sounding like it comes from their corporate brochures, and accomplishments should be neutralized. You can see WP:PEACOCK and WP:NOTMEMORIAL. I wouldn't open with "largest" in the lead sentence. I would remove "the late" and "the passing" for David Hillman. WP:EUPHEMISM The stuff about being one of six or the only one isn't needed unless you're trying to explain finalists and winners. They can see that from the award itself. If you can find more news articles that discuss Southern Management, that would be helpful too. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:42, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, Thank you so much for your help! I've updated the article based on your feedback. Do you mind taking a look and seeing if it's ready to resubmit?
- Just wanted to follow up on this. --CarlySila (talk) 15:15, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- CarlySila, can you note which references would meet WP:GNG on either the talk page or comments on the main page? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:14, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF I've added them to the talk page. If you have any feedback, please let me know! --CarlySila (talk) 22:30, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Notifications for CSD
Hi! I see that you are doing great work picking up copyvio in drafts – that's so important, thank you! I also noticed that you've sometimes nominated a draft for deletion but not notified the creator – a recent example being Draft:Strategy Execution and User:Strategyex. I don't know what method you're using to add the speedy tag (I use Twinkle), but it doesn't seem to be doing the notifications for you. This is just to ask you try to remember to do them manually if the software isn't doing them automatically. Thank you so much, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:37, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- Justlettersandnumbers I'm pondering if it's when I use AFCH and select copyvio CSD from there? I normally use Twinkle for straight up CSDs which should notify the user. Maybe I unchecked something? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:19, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- Well, I was wondering if it was to do with the AFC script, certainly. I don't think I've ever selected to tg for deletion form within the script (rightly or wrongly, if it's an outright copyvio, I don't bother to decline it, but just tag with G12). This might be worth bringing up for discussion with other editors, I think. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:59, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- Okay, will keep an eye out for when I try a CSD G12 from within AFCH and see what happens. I know it tags the article but not sure about notifying the author. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:02, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
- {u|Justlettersandnumbers}} I just did a AFCH / CSD checkbox on Draft:DgFarm US and it didn't send the CSD notification, so I pasted in the subst:notify afterwards. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:53, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Draft page Bram van Sambeek
Hello AngusWOOF,
I am not sure how this works if you are the one that has to review the submission again. Anyway, in the previous dialogue, I explained what I had changed. Please let me know if it needs any more work.
Enjoy your day.
--Sobatipep (talk) 05:17, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Sobatipep, you can resubmit it and any of the AFC editors can review it if I don't get around to it. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:33, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you AngusWOOF, it has been resubmitted. --Sobatipep (talk) 12:45, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
I didn’t say appearing in SI was her notability, that’s just one work she has done. But if that’s the barometer, she has been on the cover of a notable magazine. She has several reliable sources that have written articles on her, not just mere mentions in them.Trillfendi (talk) 16:08, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- Trillfendi, I do like the detailed coverage on some of those articles about the model; I'm just trying to see how the article can bring out the aspects that make her meet WP:NMODEL. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:32, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
DRAFT:Honest_Mum edits
Thank you for your great edits to DRAFT:Honest_Mum. I understand most of your edits and I learned a lot from them.
I think the mention of specific article titles was not cruft because the titles weren't meant to be notable in themselves, but rather to give the reader a more concrete idea more specifically of what the general statements about lifestyle, etc. really come down to. But I cut that section quite a bit anyway.
Thank you for helping me understand how things should be bolded, italicized, etc. The replacement of my section titles with more standard ones, in a more standard order, was a huge benefit.
I also think that there may be some gender bias creeping in when activities involving hundreds of thousands of WOMEN on a daily basis are considered not notable. Both Honest Mum and BritMum are big deals to a rather significant subculture in several countries, and the fact that a book published by a major publishing house has resulted from blog activities suggests that a feminine pursuit (blogging about female concerns) is surfacing in major media. I could list a bunch of page view statistics in the hundreds of thousands based on Google Analytics; does that indicate notability better than what is already there?
The most elusive element is NPOV. I thought I was there, but clearly not, so thank you again.
- See if you can find more news sources that aren't coming directly from Honest Mum or Brit Mum. We're trying to get the article to stand on WP:GNG and WP:ORGCRIT They should give an objective description of the blog site, even some criticism, and aren't press releases connected to the site, and not be passing mentions. If Honest Mum extends beyond UK you can find some news sources from those countries as well. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:21, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- If there are some notable women's websites (ones with Wikipedia articles) that discuss Honest Mum, that would be helpful too. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:23, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
Hey,
Sorry for bothering you, it is the first time when I'm trying to create a topic.
Yesterday I created a topic and sent it to a review https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Lordmancer_2
You rejected it, I fixed the issue and sent it once again. And now I don't understand what is happening now. I see that you have removed one of my references. But what is now? Have you rejected it once again or is it still under review?
Could you explain me? Thanks in advance.
Thanks, Anton — Preceding unsigned comment added by SittingOnTheSeat (talk • contribs) 12:44, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
- SittingOnTheSeat, basically you can't cite other Wikipedia articles as a reference as that would be WP:CIRCULAR. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:41, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
AngusWOOF, you wrote " Comment: See if you can find more reviewers that are on WP:VG/RS Pocket Gamer is one of them but it appears to be a very brief article. Need some in-depth ones. " But I also used a reference to Kotaku.com. It is the whole article dedicated to Lordmancer 2. Do you think that two reliable sources are not enough?
- Pocket Gamer doesn't go into depth on the game; it's only a passing mention. Kotaku is better. Can you find another one like Kotaku that is qualified under WP:VG/RS? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:52, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
Draft: PEI-Genesis Submission on 11/1 by Snydej
Hi AngusWoof. I'm trying to clean up my submission that was rejected on 11/2 in terms of providing more reliable sources and by changing the tone of the article. I have changed a good bit and feel like it reads very similar to a company's page in the same industry called "Mouser Electronics" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouser_Electronics). They use a few citations from their website as well that was not rejected. Just looking for a little more guidance on if the tone of my article is better, and how many more sources deemed reliable it would take to be accepted. Thank you for your help. Snydej (talk) 14:53, 2 November 2018 (UTC) Snydej 11/2
- Snydej Can you find sources that aren't press releases? It needs to meet WP:ORGCRIT with secondary sources independent of the subject. Getting press releases from Amphenol or PEI itself is still connected to the subject. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:37, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
Creation on New Article Draft:Liu Guodao
Hi @AnguWoof:, could you please help me to review another article I created here: Draft:Liu Guodao? I tried to take all your previous comments in consideration. Your advice will be highly appreciated. Many thanks.--Hongkongneteyes (talk) 02:22, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- I would apply the same advice as recommended on the Wang Yan article as a starter, and as long as it has plenty of WP:GNG sources, you can submit it. Doesn't have to wait for me to review. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:29, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- @AnguWoof: Thanks. I think the sources are in compliance with WP:GNG, I've submitted it for quite a few days, could you please accept it? --Hongkongneteyes (talk) 15:27, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Matthew S - I followed your directions
Hi AngusWOOF, thank you very much for your support! I followed your directions to create my article. Are they okay now? I hope so! If it's not ok... Can I ask you for help in creating my article?

- Please indicate on the draft which articles enable it to meet WP:MUSICBIO requirements. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:26, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
As articles you say Reference link? I answered you directly in the draft. I have read the "Criteria for musicians and ensembles". From how I wrote in the article He respects all the points. Kiodos (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:29, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Kiodos Thanks for listing those articles; editors can now review those for MUSICBIO. I don't see where he meets #2 "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." or #3 "Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country." or #8 "Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.". So can you clarify what you mean by he meets all the points? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:42, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you so much for this clarification, then as I wrote in the article Matthew S was named "MTV best new generation", I added some reference links, and this summer was in the Top 10 MTV Dance Chart, with Many international artists like David Guetta, Tiesto, Bob Sinclair (also here I have inserted the reference link). He also participated with Benny Benassi and Robin Schulz at the MTV digital days(also here I have inserted the reference link). Can this be enough or do you need more information? I've been as complete as possible. Kiodos (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:04, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Kiodos, MTV isn't really the country's national music chart or a major national award, so maybe other articles per musicbio. I found one by Alto Vincentino Online that I just added to the lead paragraph, which could help with secondary sources. Can you rewrite the timeline section into prose? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:07, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for your edit, What meaning in prose? sorry :-) Kiodos (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:12, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Kiodos convert the listings of what he has done into paragraphs. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:16, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
Done, I corrected. Now it's ok? Thank you for all! Kiodos (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:33, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
AngusWOOF what should I do now? Do I still have to make changes to the article? I have not received any news from you. You are very kind! Kiodos (talk)
AngusWOOF I have no more changes to make in this article. Do I have to wait for your confirmation of publication? What I have to do ? Thank you! Kiodos (talk)
- You can resubmit it if you want and maybe another editor can take a look. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:44, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
AngusWOOF I've seen many artists on wikipedia with articles written by local newspapers. I hope this goes well! You could not confirm my article now? How can I resubmit it ?? Kiodos (talk)
- Kiodos, it appears to be resubmitted. I left a comment on the article for someone else to review the sources. To me, it's very borderline as most of them are still interviews or primary, and the ones that are not are passing mentions / insignificant coverage. But another reviewer may beg to differ. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:33, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
AngusWOOF I wrote on kiwi IRC, they gave me support for the correction of the article.
I have corrected some points. Now it's OK. Could you confirm the publication of my article?
--Kiodos (talk) 17:54, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
AngusWOOF Hi, I have implemented the sources. Can you see if everything is ok? All the best, --Kiodos (talk) 17:33, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
- Kiodos, the only change since last time was that there was an additional article on Canadian Beats that has a passing mention of Matthew S's name on one of the remix tracks. Someone also tried to undo the commented out birthday, but did not provide a source. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:40, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
AngusWOOF in this link there's his birthday, 4 Feb, 1989. Is is right? --Kiodos (talk) 17:44, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

You recently rejected this page for not having the right resources. I agree with that, so I removed the random YouTubers, and tried to find reviews on Metacritic or GameRankings. However, the first has the game listed but no reviews are available, and the second doesn't have the game listed at all. Now you may ask, why want to include this game at all? Well, since this is the only game published by YoYo Games's original author Mark Overmars himself. The app's popularity has on its peak in 2013 been ~50.000 downloads as far as I'm able to track that, so I would like to include this page not based on it's popularity but rather on the fact Overmars created it. It has recently (after some discussion) been added to the List of GameMaker Studio games and I was wondering how and if it would be possible to create this Wikipedia page. Thanks for answering!HollandMill (talk) 10:15, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- HollandMill, if you have game reviews supported by reliable sites as listed by WP:VG/RS, then try to use those. Same with academic papers and news articles that might have discussed his work. If this is Overmars's only game, then why not create a section on the game in his article? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:18, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, several sites in the list mention the game or have a page about it, but most of them contain zero reviews, e.g. Metacritic: https://www.metacritic.com/game/ios/super-snake-hd The only one I found to show a review is Pocket Gamer: https://www.pocketgamer.com/articles/046847/free-apps-of-the-day-x-runner-super-snake-hd/ As far as I can find, it is his only game, but it was made together with Jochem Schut (designer). Therefore I didn't want to just make a small mention of the game on Overmars's page. I don't have too much experience on Wikipedia, so I wish to ask: what do you think? What would be the best to do? HollandMill (talk) 14:58, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- nl:Mark Overmars has a brief paragraph about the game and collaboration with Schut. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:32, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF Thanks, I'll incorporate it in Overmars's page instead. The Draft page on Super Snake HD can therefore be removed.
Submission rejected
Dear AngusWOOF, you declined my article submission, however I disagree with your assessment. You indicate that my sources are not reliable, however BoardGameGeek is the most famous blog about board games and an authority in the field and it is listed as source of all board games and board game designers article on WikiPedia (it is in some cases the only source provided for this class of articles); AIAA is a peer-reviewed scientific journal and KU Leuven is a top European University. If you have any suggestion for me, I would really appreciate it in order to improve my article before re-submission.

Article on Flying Theaters
Many thanks for your comments, Woof. For reference I copy it here: Comment: This reads more like a brochure. Need more formalized section headers. Need to connect descriptions to references. there are whole paragraphs that are unreferenced. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:23, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
I understand that I was too enthusiastic when I said that something is "a perfect fit for museums". I also understand that I need to connect descriptions to references more thoroughly. But what do you mean by "more formalized section headers"? Thanks for your help. Cheers, Andreas Entertainmentpro (talk) 10:02, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Entertainmentpro The header "One goal - different concepts" is more like a brochure header for advertising rather than something for an encyclopedia article. Maybe you can look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Amusement Parks/Standards for structure recommendations and Wikipedia:WikiProject Amusement Parks/Featured Content for examples of some of the top articles? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:41, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
WikiProject Amusement Parks/Standards is very helpful - thx! Entertainmentpro (talk) 08:12, 8 November 2018 (UTC) I also looked at the sources on the Wikipedia article on "Soarin'" and saw that there are also no articles or publications on the original ride in Anaheim (there seems to be nothing on the internet). One question: can an article in the Washington Post from November 2017, which is now behind a paywall be used as a reference? Entertainmentpro (talk) 08:15, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Paywall sources are okay to include (WP:PAYWALL). If it's an agency-based (e.g. Associated Press, Reuters) article, then other papers might have available for free. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:40, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
stub tags
Please take care not to add {{stub}} to an article which already has a specific stub tag, as you did here.
And why do you think it needs more or better references? The two provided look reliable and seem to support the entire text of this stub.PamD 19:05, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- PamD, I was stubbing it from the Page Curation / New Pages Feed. Should it just be checkmarked as good then? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:51, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- PamD, if that's all that can be found about the subject, should it be marked as a WP:PERMASTUB then? It's a really flimsy dictionary definition of a notable person. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:00, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- It's a stub, but was already tagged as {{UK-artist-stub}}, so there's no point in adding {{stub}} which does nothing except to bring it to the attention of stub-sorters, whose time you will be wasting. She's notable, she has material in national collections. A stub needs expansion, by definition. Just accept this harmless article and move on to those which are damaging the encyclopedia.

hi, I need help with getting the proper non biased sources for this article so it can get approved.

New article declined
I saw you rejected the new article about "Kate Manne" on the ground not sourced and not notable. I disagree. I properly sourced both her book and her assistant professorship. The Book has hundreds of reviews so definitely notable.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Chickensparta (talk • contribs) 19:25, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- You should cite the reviews from the major critics then to show she meets WP:NACADEMIC or WP:NAUTHOR. Like I said before if she is only an "assistant professor" she won't be able to meet WP:NACADEMIC #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)."

Zig programming language article
I added a `Design` section to the article, in hopes that it would make it seem like less of a manual page.
The examples aren't meant to mirror manual pages, but instead give a brief view into how common tasks are written in the language. I did this in lieu of finding other programming languages that do the same (e.g. Nim programming language, Haskell programming language). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benji is me (talk • contribs) 20:21, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Jaime Mendez draft page
AngusWOOF, thank you for input on my page. I have several questions, things I don't understand, and I'd like to understand for the purposes of not only this page I'm working on but also any Wiki work I do in the future. Regarding this specific Mendez page, I definitely want to proceed with the page because this person IS a real, notable public figure worthy of mention in Wikipedia...so I want to make whatever changes are needed to get the page published.
1) So you're saying NOT to use Wiki articles as references? I have seen other pages that do this...I figured if Wiki articles are thoroughly checked over for accuracy, they should be good reference sources. But you're saying NOT to use them? You also said to take out the LinkedIn reference...I know of a published page that has ONLY 2 LinkedIn references...how was her page Ok'd/published? I'm just confused about the process. But anyway, I can change the Wiki and LinkedIn refs.
2) I thought if I used a variety of reference sources, that would look better overall than using fewer references which are all the same type of reference...but it sounds like you'd rather potentially have fewer references if it means every reference will be of higher quality/verifiability?
3) You suggested redoing the lead paragraph to say that Mendez is a news anchor and reporter. But the lead paragraph already states that, so I'm not understanding why you suggested to include that. Did you mean something else?
4) There's mention that a major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with the subject and a neutral point of view is needed. What is this referring to? The KUNS TV reference, because that is his employer? If so, why wouldn't this be considered reliable? To me, his employer, who has done checks on him as to his background and experience, is in essence a source of confirmation of his status, background, and experience...right? It's not exactly a neutral point of view, but it's not a questionable, controversial source/point of view either. Please just further explain this comment as it pertains specifically to this article, not just in general.
Thanks AngusWOOF, I look forward to your further clarification. JaiMen95 (talk) 01:46, 14 November 2018 (UTC)Lydia
- Okay I will try to answer these questions:
- 1) Regarding wikipedia articles as references, do not use as that is circular. Read WP:CIR. Instead, use the references on those Wikipedia articles that refer to the subject. Linkedin should be sparingly used WP:SELFPUB, like if there are no other sources to verify that he was employed with a certain company.
- 2) I'd prefer higher quality sources that detail the subject and not just mention his name in passing. See WP:GNG and WP:V
- 3) The lead sentence should say what he is, not that he was born in (place). Being born in that place doesn't make him notable. Saying he is a (nationality) news anchor for (channel) will be clearer. See MOS:LEADSENTENCE and MOS:OPENPARABIO
- 4) If you're his employer you probably have a conflict of interest (WP:COI) in writing up the biography for the person. It might be better to just write up his bio in your website, and then cite the website, making sure to reword it so it is not a copy-paste of the writeup there. This would still be considered a primary source or even a press release, so it would be better to find secondary sources (news websites that aren't connected to the subject) that cover his career and life.
- Hope that helps explain things. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:59, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
FURTHER RESPONSE:
Thank you, yes that does clarify. Especially on #3...you meant to suggest that I change the lead SENTENCE in the lead paragraph...this makes sense.
I don't know if I can just add response to you like this or if this is not the correct way to go about it ( I assume I don't create a new topic)...hoping you can help with this additional topic: HOW do I access the draft page easily now so that I can continue editing the page? Meaning how do I get back to it? And if I get signed out or something, how do I retrieve it? Because the username is in red and I just get messages that my page doesn't exist...but it does cuz we've come this far, it does exist...what does it mean that it doesn't exist? In the userpage tab there is a sandbox heading area and beneath there is now a red link redirecting me to Draft: Jaime Mendez, but when I click on it, I don't know what to do next, and then when I try to navigate it asks if I want to leave the page cuz I might lose work I've done. I've never quite understood this whole process of creation, and in the past I seemed to have lost previous work and had to start over again...can you explain HOW it all works and how I navigate easily and properly from here? I'm really afraid of somehow losing all of the work I've done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaiMen95 (talk • contribs) 04:11, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- JaiMen95, You can access it at Draft:Jaime Méndez; it's still there. The thing about the page not existing is your user page. The sandbox is still there. I changed it so that if you go there it will have a message saying to click over to Draft:Jaime Méndez. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 04:18, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
AngusWOOF, I've been working on the page per your suggestions and clarifications, thank you! Oh I'm not his employer. I've added high quality sources that detail the subject and his career/life, changed some content/wording including the lead paragraph. I'm going to continue working on it and will hopefully resubmit it soon. Thank you for the guidance! JaiMen95 (talk) 16:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)Lydia

Salina Vortex Corp
AngusWOOF,
Thank you for your help with edits to Salina Vortex Corp. Please note that although I have been reading through all of the Wikipedia materials as thoroughly as possible, I am still new to the uploading process. In the past, I have focused more on the editorial, instead of the creation process. I believe I have taken necessary steps to gather quality sources, but if any are beyond the scope of Wikipedia, please let me know which specific sources those are, so that I can make the necessary revisions. I am currently in discussions with the company, Salina Vortex Corporation, to see if I can obtain image licensing to supplement the wiki page.
Thanks again for your mentorship as I learn the Wiki upload process and I hope you have a nice day.
Ltc1993 (talk) 21:44, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- The main part of sources is that they meet WP:GNG, which means no primaries (website material, press releases, connected trade magazine articles), or passing mentions. Picture licensing is a different beast, if they can submit some freely licensed pictures via OTRS/email to get them approved by commons, that would be good. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:41, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you, for the additional information, AngusWOOF. After reviewing your description and the Wikipedia guidelines, I am still a bit fuzzy on sourcing for the topic I'm discussing. As I understand it, you are saying community news sources (such as CNN) are credible sources, but industry-related sources (such as a trade magazine) are not acceptable because the written content was likely submitted by the company itself? Thank you for the additional description. Sorry I am having trouble getting my head around the sourcing complexities. Ltc1993 (talk) 22:46, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Ltc1993, you can check out WP:RS on what's considered a good reliable source. Trade magazines are okay if they aren't written by the company or interview heavily with the company. In other words, if the journalist did the research on the company and summarized that, then it's okay, but if the journalist rehashed what the company told the person then not so much. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:34, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Thank you, AngusWOOF. I am not associated with the company and have not been paid to create the company page. I am a local resident. This company has a unique local history, so I am creating out of personal interest. Also, as I am making revisions, I notice that I do not have a "Resubmit" icon. The draft is once again ready for review. Is there some other way for me to "submit" so that the reviewing board is notified? Thank you. Ltc1993 (talk) 15:25, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look at my submitted page. I had gone through guidance for resubmission with User talk:K.e.coffman and was hoping that the main reference being in Hungarian language didn't get it rejected again. This draft wiki article has a link to a 15-page article in the Hungarian national magazine Szemle, here is the link: https://issuu.com/mzsk.hu/docs/szemle15_2_netre/75 It is a print magazine that has reproductions available online. The article focusses solely on the subject of Anina Pinter. Yes its in Hungarian :) But it can be translated looking through Google Translate video etc if it is not apparent that the article is about Pinter. These are the different issues online, I think its a quarterly magazine. http://www.mzsk.hu/szemle/ 67.201.9.50 (talk) 03:25, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- If it's google translatable then we can check if it has significant coverage on Pinter. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:29, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry that’s what I meant by Google Translate video. You would have to hold an iPhone up to a computer screen with the Google Translate app running, translating thru camera vision. Because the magazine is a printed one, the link I provided doesn’t give selectable text. It is searchable text so you can see how many times the name Pinter comes up through the article, if doing the translate app approach isn’t your thing! Thanks for taking a look and I could always find a way to share screen grabs witb translated text if needed?67.201.9.50 (talk) 07:04, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Are you able to help or is there a place on Wikipedia where I can find reviewers who won't just reject this article because its main supporting references are in Hungarian? Both you and a previous reviewer have rejected it despite a substantial article, how should I get it reviewed by someone who is able to read the references? It seems that WP allows foreign language references for criteria such as notability. Thanks. 67.201.9.50 (talk) 21:14, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
- You can resubmit the article and have another reviewer check it out. It doesn't have to be me to re-review. I will try to jump in and clean up the citation so it is presentable. 21:27, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you! In the meantime I've found a translation site - yandex translate.. that can provide an English translation! Its not a great translation but its functional enough. I'm afraid that another reviewer will have the same reaction but if you are able to help in any way, cleaning it up etc - yes please. And if the translation site I've found can help, even better. Please let me know if and when you think its ready for me to resubmit. So if you use this https://translate.yandex.com/translate and choose "SITE" at the top left for the translation mode, enter the site address https://issuu.com/mzsk.hu/docs/szemle15_2_netre/75 and set it to Hungarian for the source language and English for the result lang, it will provide a decent-enough translation. 67.201.9.50 (talk) 21:37, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
- 67.201.9.50, can you find some more articles about Pinter? The Szemle one is really good detail, is there another magazine writeup on her? The other sources are just passing mentions of her in credits. Also did she win any awards for her costuming? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:54, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
- I don’t know about any awards, none that I can find but there was a mention of an Italian award in the Szemle article. I found a link to an Italian film festival where she was a judge, not a full article either https://www.notfilmfest.com/copy-of-judges But I haven’t found many other substantial articles yet. I was encouraged to write a WP article as I thought I could pass the notability requirements by combining an in-depth article like in Szemle with the various less substantial references that establish the notable films this person has worked on, but if I need to keep searching I will. Thanks for all your time looking in to it 67.201.9.50 (talk) 06:52, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Hey Angus,
We couldn't finish talking about my last request, so I'm reviving it in this new discussion. I'm copying below an excerpt of our last back and forth to give you some context.
"I've corrected the buzzwords and other edits you made. My only question is: We don't have any articles or links about the inauguration of our LATAM offices. Do we have to provide a citation for this? The only sites we can provide as "proof" are the job searches we carry out on each country where we have an office. Can that count as a citation?

- The question is more whether you have any citations that will meet WP:GNG / WP:ORGCRIT standards. It's okay for some of the citations on the article to come from primary (company website), but there needs to be significant coverage in multiple secondary sources that are independent of the subject in order for it to be Wikipedia notable. Can you identify any of those citations? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:07, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Angus. Does this link count as a source? https://themanifest.com/co/app-development/companies
Otherwise, as I said, the only sources we have are job searches on each country we are based in. Those searches are not published only on our company website, they are in various job sites (such as Glassdoor), so we would have diversity in the sources.

Hello AngusWOOF,
- Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW
- Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.
- If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.
- We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.
- With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

Dear AngusWOOF, I recently had a article reviewed by you. Your comment was "How are years of service awards for a particular department notable for Wikipedia in general?".
Have you seen the "see also" section where there are wikipedia pages created for similar uniformed services in my country, namely the police force, civil defence force and armed forces. Although my draft lacked the pictures that those similar pages had but I have the pictures ready with me. It is just that wikipedia does not allow me to have them uploaded.
Hormatsingapura (talk) 12:04, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hormatsingapura I went ahead and accepted it, but need citations that the first three general medals are appropriate for ICA officers. It's still on the stubby side as specific awards for years of service aren't really that notable in itself, but if you can get sources for the Pingat ones and others, then those might be worthy. See also the annual report for other increments of service that might have been awarded but not publicized in the S202 and S203 documents. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:57, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi AngusWoof. Thanks for taking the time and your contributions to this draft page. I added a NYT citation and also came across info that I added on Reckard's guitar. I hope these edits (esp those you provided) now meet standards. Please let me know if I can provide additional info. Mkbergman (talk) 16:23, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- Mkbergman, The NYT one is still a passing mention. Can you find some articles that focus more on Reckard himself? The one in Guitar World / Guitar Magazine was a good one. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:30, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF Thanks for continuing to help. These are good finds, but I agree I am having difficulty finding another specific online review of Reckard. I know he was given a cover treatment in Guitar World in 1984 [7], but that is only available in paper and not online. I have not tried to write up a person before, but did so for Reckard because I think he is so amazing. There are quite a few clips of him on YouTube, but I suspect that does not meet Wikipedia standards. Is there enough here to get this guitarist some of the treatment he deserves?

- The article doesn't have to be online, as long as it's in-depth like that one. Maybe we can add that as Further reading? Can you add the ones I listed above in the meantime? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:34, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- Mkbergman, on the chance that you have the actual magazine, can you look up the page numbers for his article and also find the title as well? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:43, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- Mkbergman, I found it! Well, the table of contents anyway. https://www.amazon.com/GUITAR-PLAYER-Jaco-Frank-Reckard/dp/B00EVUEZ4W AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:49, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- Mkbergman, can you find a source for his birth date and place? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:59, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF Thanks again for your help!. I will look to fill the open gaps you noted (have some already). Are you suggesting adding the 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 links? If so, where is the appropriate spot? At any rate, I really appreciate your help since conforming to standards is not always so straightforward! Mkbergman (talk) 20:56, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
