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

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!

Dear administrator, Thanks for reviewing! Can you tell me, in which direction should I amend/improve/correct the article? I really used all the sources I know. I wrote before a few articles about scientists, and they were all based on their publications. If you look at the site of the Penn State and browse his page including his cv, you will find all the information. What exactly seems unreliable? And were exactly are excessive and inappropriate external links? Thank you for helping.--Asimsky (talk) 22:37, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

I am not an administrator I am just an editor like you. The sources you have included do not demonstrate that the subject meets our guidelines for notability. Normally, this is done by showing that the individual has received sustained in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources. His own publications do not establish his notability. Theroadislong (talk) 22:48, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

I have provided a link to prove that he was awarded a title of an honorary professor of the Moscow State University. Is it not an evidence of recognition? Do you think this is not enough or you think that this fact is not supported by sufficient evidence? I just re-read the notability criteria for academics, and they clearly state than an academic is notable if he/she "... has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." He did receive a prestigious award on international level; it is given to Nobel Prize winners ... are you still not convinced?--Asimsky (talk) 06:52, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Can you please have another look at the article? I have added a number of independent sources of evidence to support notability: (a) editorship in journals (b) press-release (c) publications of other people confirming importance of his contribution (d) a post at the site of Univ. of Moscow to confirm honorary professorship (with photos of the event) (e) some more evidence from the PSU site not from his CV. Please see details in the Talk page of the article. Maybe you can consider removing or softening the tags? Thank you. --Asimsky (talk) 06:38, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Draft:VisualBash Submission declined on 20 November 2017 by Theroadislong

Greetings,

I developed VisualBash kind of as a lark.

The problem is that this method of organizing code seems to help me get things done. While this is not noteworthy in itself, it may be a guidepost to help others.

I am re-submitting this article in full faith of it's "future notability". I am very likely wrong and this is not notable at all. My working definition of "notability" seems to have more to do with what the cool kids were doing in high school... As the developer of this framework, my great concern is that despite my own successful use of this framework it may just be "simply too simple".

On the topic of "notability": 1. As the developer of the VisualBash framework, I do not plan to use it for profit. 2. I am not trying to "sell" visual bash, I am trying to document it. 3. Again, my great concern is that this is "simply too simple".

I would appreciate anyones guidance on this.

Regards,

Flintiii A voice in the wilderness Barre, Vermont December 2017

Please note that there is no article in Wikipedia on the topic "Sign your posts on talk pages:". Thus I am ignoring it.

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

I do not agree in the estimations on the weak reliability of the sources of the article on Vincotech. Here are the main sources:

1. "Electronics World" ist one of the leading British technical magazines in electronics and RF engineering. There ist a Wikipedia article about: Electronic World 2. "channel e Magazin für Elektronik" is the leading German online magazine on electronics: http://www.channel-e.de 3. The next source is an official announcement of Siemens, one of the biggest companies on electronics, on Vincotech: http://www.dgap.de/dgap/News/adhoc/ad-hocservice-siemens-deutschenglisch/?newsID=7740 4. The Tyco Announcement on Vincotech was published in http://www.all-electronics.de, the online Portal of the leading central european publishing house for publications in electronics markets. It is part of Süddeutscher Verlag, which has already an article in the english Wikipedia: Süddeutscher Verlag 5. The accouncement of "The Gores Group" was directly published bei The Gores Group: http://www.gores.com/wp-content/themes/gores2/news/news_pr_20110105.pdf. The Gores Group has also an article in Wikipedia.

All these sources are independend and reliable. And Vincotech today is one of the global leaders in its market (with about 140 mio € revenues). The "Electronics World" (see above) about Vincotech: "Vincotech ... resolutely moved up the ladder to become a market leader."

COI Editing Question

Hello - I received a message from you yesterday outlining COI issues on Westminster College (Missouri). I was unaware of the rule about COI editing. If I add a disclosure to my user page, can the edits I submitted be reinstated, either in part or in full? The content was informational, and while I understand that I may be unduly influenced by my relationship with the institution, the edits I made did bring the entry up to date on several points (especially the list of College presidents and updates to the athletics and academics sections).

If the edits cannot be restored, I will request independent editing, as outlined in your message.

Thank you. Anna Comfort (talk) 17:01, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

When you have a conflict of interest you can request edits on the talk page of the article and an uninvolved editor can assess the merits and add or decline them accordingly. Theroadislong (talk) 17:03, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Seasons Greetings

Greetings Theroadislong,

For all I know you might be an AI.

A souped up "Eliza" [[1]] anyway, I really want to understand the concept of "Notability", what pleases me the most is how it breaks down so nicely into "Not ability". I just want this done. Hell, even github puts up with us!

Kindest Regards,

Paul — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flintiii (talk • contribs) 21:11, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Your comments are rather cryptic but your draft has 4 references two are to your own website, one is a blog with an message, the other is to Github, which says "VisualBash is a modest and seriously tongue-in-cheek bash programmiung framework." none of these even begin to establish notability I'm afraid. Theroadislong (talk) 00:21, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Description verses promotion.

Greetings Theroadislong,

I want to quote this back to you, wish I knew the special characters to put your quote in a pretty box:

"I'm afraid that Wikipedia is not the place to promote your software. We only summarize what reliable, independent published sources have to say about a subject."

I am not at all interested in promotion. I am interested in validation of the Visual Bash concept. Any idea how to help me get into programming structure?

Regards,

Paul Flintiii (talk) 16:52, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm not at all clear what you are asking... "validation of the Visual Bash concept"? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent say about a subject. You would need to provide detailed references showing the subject has received significant coverage, in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. You also have a conflict of interest.

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.

The objected references (facebook blogs) were updated with new ones, thank you very much for the prompt response and suggestion

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.

  • Draft:Betty Ann Elliot (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I'm very confused as to what you mean by making the first few sentences of the page tell us how she is "notable". That is all the information that we found on her on the internet. I'm concerned because we're doing this page for a school project. She is notable for helping pioneer the role of women in petroleum geology. As well having been an active member of AAPG (American Association of Petroleum Geologists) for 56 years.

You are not as confused as you think, because you managed to do what was required, the draft now just needs to use inline references so that each fact is supported by a source, you can read WP:REFB for help with that, I have copy edited the content a little and it could do with some links to other wikipedia articles, but it's nearly there.

Jenny Brekhus

Theroadislong,

I respectfully disagree with your decision to reject my article on notability grounds once again. Another editor rejected it based on insufficient citations which means that they felt like they could not reject it based on insufficient notability, once I had taken steps to show the subject's notability.

If you wish for me to put more effort into proving the notability of Reno city council member Jenny Brekhus, I will do so. She is a long-serving and prominent member of the Reno city council. Reno is a large and growing city and the largest city in Nevada outside Clark County.Politically speaking, Reno is the largest city in both Northern Nevada and Washoe County, and Washoe is a swing county, in a key swing state. Councilmember Brekhus made national headlines this summer by publicly calling for President Trump to not come to Reno. I would rather see it that wikipedia approve her article without needing to out her as a fierce critic of the President in a politically volatile place like Reno. However, if wikipedia continues to refuse to publish the article, I will make her Trump criticism part of the article and add several more citations.

If you feel that Councilmember Brekhus is not notable enough to have a wikipedia page, I would Staunchly disagree with you. Her fellow council member David Bobzien has a wikipedia article. The Mayor of Reno, who is a member of the council, has a wikipedia article and was recently profiled by Politico as one of America's most interesting mayors. Reno is a notable city with a notable council, and Jenny Brekhus is a notable member of that council. I would strongly encourage you to reconsider your rejection of this article on notability grounds.

If you read my comment on the decline I say that "a number of the external links could be used as sources instead which would help with notability" The sources you have used do NOT establish notability they are not independent. The fact that other poor articles exist is not a good reason to create another sorry. Theroadislong (talk) 08:54, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

@Sfsofnv: The article on David Bobzien is VERY poor quality, it has only four references none of which mention him and it should probably be deleted.Theroadislong (talk) 20:50, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Theroadislong, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

• The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
• Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!

Outreach and Invitations:

• If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: {{subst:NPR invite}}. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive

• A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
• Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update:

• ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
• The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
• To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

Dear Theroadislong

As per your suggestion, some up to date and concrete references have been inserted to the text, the readability has been improved. Therefore, I seek your guidance in this regard as well as requesting for its re-review.

Thanking you in anticipation

Sincerely yours

the tone is still inappropriate, I'll let another reviewer have a look. Theroadislong (talk) 09:29, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

how to make it right?

Hi,

thank you for your feedback on the page i'm trying to make (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:MyMachine) As I'm trying to get it right, what is/are the phrase(s) that makes it read differently than for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teach_For_All

thank you for clarifying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Captain Woolf (talk • contribs) 16:45, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

The problem is that both the articles your draft and the Teach For All article are both written like adverts, I have tagged that one now. Articles need to be written in a neutral tone refereing to independent sources. Sentences like "Through the choice of not incorporating a substantive framework nor a competition element into the model, MyMachine stimulates the empowerment of all students involved who are invited to be entrepreneurial in bringing the ideas to life is not encyclopaedic but pure marketing speak, we just need the dry facts. Theroadislong (talk) 16:51, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. Working on it now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Captain Woolf (talk • contribs) 17:56, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Rationale for Rejecting Gilson (Company) page?

Theroadislong,

Earlier today, you rejected the draft I wrote for Gilson Inc., saying that it reads too much like an advertisement.

I am wondering if you could give me examples of what specific areas read too much like an advertisement, so I can fix those problem areas and resubmit?

When I wrote the draft, I kept Wikipedia's guidelines regarding neutrality in mind. I modeled the page very closely after Eppendorf's, which does not have any flags indicating problems with the page. My intention was not to write an advertisement for Gilson, but to share the story of a company that developed and manufacturers a research tool that is used by virtually every laboratory scientist in the world who works with liquids.

Any guidance on how to revise this page to meet Wikipedia's guidelines would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Ben — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cglife.bmarcus (talk • contribs) 20:31, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

The article is mostly sourced from their own website, Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject have published about it in reliable places. If you could find more independent references it would be an improvement. Theroadislong (talk) 20:44, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I've seen the message you left on my draft page. Don't worry, the work is still in progress. We are working on the sections in these days. Thank you :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martina.straffi99 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for the feedback. Can you help me with this? What does my article need exactly in order for it to be approved?

The links in the grey box at the top of your draft Draft:Lil Toenail tell you all you need to know. Your draft has no references at all, Wikipedia articles are constructed using independent sources. In order to demonstrate notability, you need to provide references to articles written about Lil_Toenail in unrelated, independent journals, magazines, books, etc. 21:42, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Theroadislong - Could you please guide me for what reason my article submission rejected and what are the improvement checklist or else advice what to remove from my article in order to get published without any obstacle.

RohitRaiWef (talk) 10:24, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Have you read the comments on your draft? Draft:Women Economic Forum it explains there why I rejected the article, it reads like an advert and it has an enormously long un-encyclopaedic list of participants. Theroadislong (talk) 12:18, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Draft:L. Viola Kinney

Hi Theroadislong. After some clean up and expansion, I'm going to WP:IAR, move this into article space, and let it take its chances. I'd give it better than a 50/50 chance of not being taken to AfD and at least a 50/50 chance of surviving if it were to be. This is mainly because of the under-served subject matter and the fact that her composition has been recorded on a notable label, its score has been re-published in modern times, it's still being played in concerts, and apparently was also broadcast on the BBC. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 15:02, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Yep...go for it, no objections from this end, I just wasn't entirely confident enough to accept. Cheers. Theroadislong (talk) 15:17, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. We'll see what happens to it here in the Wacky World of Wikipedia. Hopefully, it will be OK. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 17:39, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Article Walterschied

I have worked on this page correcting citations per format, researched to add additional sources, used credible sources as the Wall Street Journal, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Jet and Deadline Hollywood. The individual of which this article is based is far more significant than many others that Wikipedia has approved pages about. I have written articles for Variety, Editorial for Los Angles Times and contributed on a three part piece in the Arts and Entertainment Section of the NY Times along with being a contributing editor for Ebony Magazine. I am unsure as to why I am running into so many issues with Wikipedia. As a active supporter and donate to Wilkipedia I am a little dishearten at this point. Could you please provide any tips that would be of assistance. I have thoroughly read all of Wikipedia's support pages and am following the advice provided therein. Thank you for your anticipated reply. I have more article I would like to contribute but want to get over this first hurdle first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonreillythr (talk • contribs) 18:51, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Have you read WP:REFB? Despite repeated requests your references are still incorrectly formatted and some are not references at all. We need publisher details of books and magazines included in the citations, but more problematic is that Scott Walterschied doesn't appear to pass the general notability guidelines.Theroadislong (talk) 19:07, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

 I just added all the references to Thomas W. Valente's article in WORD and plan to cut/paste in here.  The Endnote references are formatted "[1]", not superscript.  Will that be a problem? Ljugador (talk) 20:18, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

It's not clear to me what you are proposing but I'm fairly sure it won't work, please read WP:REFB for help with formatting sources. Theroadislong (talk) 20:31, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Can you tell me why the reference wasn't adequate enough?

Ktonmedia (talk) 22:39, 15 December 2017 (UTC)Kris

Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in multiple published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. A single reference is not sufficient to establish notability. Theroadislong (talk) 22:43, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Draft: David DeMarli

Hi there,

My entry for the draft page 'David DeMarli' was rejected. Can you please specify each category and entry that was not in-keeping with the Wiki methodology?

I am happy to then either find 'secondary' source material (or) delete the questionable section - But I must be made aware which section is questionable and why.

Hope this helps with the speedy publication of this page.

Regards, D Mitchell — Preceding unsigned comment added by DJ Mitchell (talk • contribs) 17:53, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

The draft has one reference which doesn't mention him, we require multiple in-depth coverage about him in sources independent of the subject. Theroadislong (talk) 08:33, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Dear Thereodislong,

Thank you for reviewing my draft Draft:Bancroft (TV Series). As may be quite obvious this is my first attempt at creating an entry. I have added some sources for the article and would much appreciate a re-review. Many thanks in advance.

Draft for Shehab Khan

Hi Theroadislong,

The alterations you suggested for the page have been made and sources have been changed so they are not written by the subject.

There are currently 10 sources - 9 of which are written by different authors and refer to the subject directly. These include articles from national media organisations and posts from universities.

In your opinion do you think that would suffice?

Best wishes, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asda3991 (talk • contribs) 13:17, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

The International Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Council

Hi, I drafted the page The International Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Council and I've tried rephrasing the contest as much as I can from a neutral POV and language. Is there a specific section of the draft that you believe violates the copyright clause? The main IPOSC website is also public domain. I am not sure how to continue from here. Please advise. Eyecare10 (talk) 15:16, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

My concerns were that it was written like an advert, when you have a conflict of interest or even when you don't, forget everything you know about them. It's best to search for newspaper or magazine articles or internet content that discuss the subject, not their own website. Basically Wikipedia has no interest in what the organisation wants to say about itself, (ie. it's goals and aims) but only what independent reliable sources have to say about it.

20:01:32, 18 December 2017 review of submission by Trainerguy

• Trainerguy (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:CarriersEdge (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The feedback notes that the article is written more as advertisement, and references the fact that they should be written in a neutral tone with third party reference. I'd like to make this article comply, and I certainly don't want it sounding like ad copy, so I'd be interested in feedback about why it was declined.

Just about every point in the article includes a reference to a third party news site verifying the content, and the few that aren't referenced didn't seem that significant. As well, I was trying to write it in such a way that it was consistent with other articles about software companies, so I'd love feedback on the points that come across as biased, salesy, or inappropriate. Can you point me to specific sections that are examples of unacceptable style or unverified content?

I'd like to resubmit it with changes that make it suitable, so any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry but the whole article reads like it was written by somebody who works there. Theroadislong (talk) 20:06, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

thanks and request for immediate assistance

Hi Theoroadislong,

Thank you for your feedback on my first draft. I am completely aware that autobiographies are discouraged by Wikipedia but this is to certify this all the information provided by me was factually correct.

After my recent contribution as an Actor on an Indian Television Channel, it has been brought to my notice that audience has started looking me up on google(thus, in turn, wikipedia) and I, would not appreciate them coming across wrong information about me. It is therefore only apt that the such traffic meets with right and correct information as it is going to change their perception of me or my show, 'Woh Apna Sa' which airs regularly on ZeeTv(India).

I would therefor like the editors, such as yourself to assist me converting this draft into a successful article and help me present right information about myself.Bhavyasachdeva08 (talk) 10:07, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell the world about themselves. There are plenty of social-networking sites like Facebook where you can do that, Wikipedia is different - a project to build an encyclopedia. This is explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography. Theroadislong (talk) 10:14, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
