Hi there, you added a notability tag. I pinged you about it on the talk page yesterday and see that you have been quite active since but don't reply. Could you please be a bit more specific on what you think is missing? The lady made the international news with in-depth coverage, and there are multiple reliable sources. In general I have the impression that leaving tags is more helpful when explaining what exactly is missing. Omikroergosum (talk) 15:41, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

I find surprising that you find the time to edit so many dozen further articles that you can hardly have read in such little time but don't react to a question on one for which you added a tag that I don't think is justified. I would recommend you to edit with more caution. Unless you give justification for the tag you added today I will just remove it. Omikroergosum (talk) 19:33, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Wow. My apologies for not seeing your message right away. However, there is no need for you to be rude. I added the notability tag because, as per WP:NPOL, being a candidate for a political office does not in and of itself indicate notability. There is therefore a higher standard for the need for independent, reliable sources. I placed the tag so that the references could be reviewed, as it is not often that a subject who is a political candidate meets the notability guidelines. Jmertel23 (talk) 20:04, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

There were already multiple reliable sources when you added the tag, I added further ones since, and they clearly show she attracted in-depth national and even international press coverage. I thus remove the tag. Don't know what you found rude. I find it worrisome to see users who place tags on many many pages without really investing much care. You got a message for the ping yesterday, you got another one for the messages on your talk page many hours ago and were very active editing elsewhere in between. If you place such tags on articles created by new users it will likely intimidate them but the aim should be to work productively together. I edited one of the articles on which you placed a stub tag in between to give an example of what I find productive editing on a stub for whose topic one has no expertise: Ashina Zhen.

Uploading Photos From Indonesian Wikipedia?

Hi, I was just wondering if i could upload any photos from the Indonesian Wikipedia if they are under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share 3.0 License? or are they already uploaded to all of wikipedia on wikimedia? thanks,--Austin Moulton (talk) 22:13, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Austin, I honestly don't know the answer to that - I haven't done much work with images. I would suggest asking at the help desk so that someone with the appropriate knowledge can answer that for you. Sorry I can't be of more help! Jmertel23 (talk) 22:21, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Castleman Disease Collaborative Network page deletion

Hi, thank you for reviewing the CDCN page I had created, I was hoping to get more information on why it was deleted and whether or not I could revise the page so that it would be suitable. I understand that I have a conflict of interest in drafting the page, but no one else will do it, and I believe that there were enough references in appropriate sources to justify a page. Do you feel it is not appropriate to have a page for this subject? If so I will not rewrite the article. Thanks. CDK55 (talk) 14:19, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Good morning, I wasn't actually the person who redirected the page, so I can't give you specifics as to the reasoning behind that, but if I'm remembering correctly, I think that the page could have used more sources to better establish notability. For example - I think you had written information about some of the activities (an awareness day, I think?) that did not have sources attached. You should ensure that everything you write can be backed up with a reliable source. I think that, if there are enough additional sources to establish notability (see the general notability guidelines), it would be appropriate for a page. However, Wikipedia does strongly discourage editors from writing about their own organizations, as it can be difficult to ensure that inherent biases towards the subject do not impact the article's neutrality. Jmertel23 (talk) 14:49, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Sorry about the confusion! I did find the user who deleted the page and will contact them separately. I think I saw that you removed the external links sections from the other Castleman disease pages. I wasn't sure if they met the MOS:MED criteria for inclusion. On the one hand, the CDCN does provide information that is more accurate and uptodate than other websites (such as the American cancer institute and Mayo Clinic); however, I also understand that the organization has a mission to raise awareness/raise funds/accelerate research/etc. What do you advise? Should the links be kept off. Thanks for the advice on the article as well! CDK55 (talk) 13:53, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

No worries! While I understand your point, I do think that the links should be avoided. Perhaps if there is specific information on the website that would be useful it could be incorporated into the article and the website could be used as a reference? Jmertel23 (talk) 14:02, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Software - Crowdin

Hi! First of all. thank for helping me edit the article. I'm relatively new to the platform, so I want to make the first published(not simply edited) article be useful to the other people in our community. Can you share some guidelines on what can I do to improve the article and make sure I'm not making it sound advertisement-y and use the pronouns properly?:) Meli.roden (talk) 13:47, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Meli, I see that you already removed the second-person words, which improves that issue (so feel free to go ahead and remove that tag) - though I would actually suggest going a step further and changing it from "own translation team" to something along the lines of "the client's own translation team." The way it's worded now makes it sound as though the intended reader is a prospective client - which leads to the advertisement-y feel. I would also suggest that you check out the Teahouse, which is a page/group specifically created for assisting new editors. They will be able to give you some helpful guidance on improving the article. Jmertel23 (talk) 14:19, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

A brownie for you!

Thanks for the stub-sorting, I wasn't aware of this category. May you also help me with a template on management (styles), please? What do you think would suit best? Hou710 (talk) 12:13, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Glad I could help! I don't know of one specific to management styles, but you could use the general management template, Template:Management. Jmertel23 (talk) 12:22, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Have I done enough to remove the orphan tag?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:43, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, now that the Asheville page links to the article, it's no longer an orphan. Thanks! Jmertel23 (talk) 00:10, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the comment. I have improved significantly this page and rewrite all the content. Is that okay? How about the other page that you have deleted? Can you revert back and I will improve its content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wanfahmi57 (talk • contribs) 01:39, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Wanfahmi57, thank you for rewriting the article. I hope you've had a chance to read the copyright guidelines and understand why we cannot simply copy and paste content from outside sources. In terms of the other articles - I do not have the power to revert deletions, as I was not the one to actually delete them; I simply nominated them for deletion.

Saunders Schultz

Hi Jmertel23, I'm trying to learn my way around correct procedure and really welcome guidance in my first attempt. I now see that usernames follow the editor, no matter the article, and that my choice likely helped create an apparent COI on this article. My intention was not promotional, and I'm not being paid for this article. Also I have just changed my username.

There are numerous descriptions on the artist's website where he personally examined his pieces over the years and described his approach to sculpture. This material was used as a starting place in creating the article, and then citing the material was coming next. I collected published references and started adding the citations. I understand that anything that can't be cited needs to be removed. Wording needs to be improved for neutrality, and the opening section needs to be shortened. I would like to continue with the edits that I believe are necessary.

Thank you for your time, Atd24 (talk) 20:27, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Atd24, I apologize for not responding sooner! Thank you for adding citations; it is important for all information to have associated references. Jmertel23 (talk) 12:13, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
