The Prince's Trust

Please do not revert my edit again. If you check the sources for this content (you may have even added them originally), they don't actually back up the content they are used to source. Some of the content (especially involving experience of one individual, and also the financial situtation) is verifiable, but is worded in a way to imply something negative that is not present in the source. This is a blatant violation of the neutral point of view. Additionally, one of the sources you restored is a blog, which is not a reliable source for controversial information. And finally, the quote you restored is taken completely out of context, and used to craft a criticism of the organization that was intended as merely hypothetical. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't revert everything, I actually went through the chnages individually, and I thought that the things that I had put back were OK. I accept what you say about not using blogs as a reference, but sometimes things said on authorative blogs can be useful. Sometimes it is also useful to summarise financial information to try and explain what it means.

The problem comes when a summary is used to make an implication that is not obvious from the raw information, but rather is the opinion of the summarizer. Someguy1221 (talk) 07:31, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Annabel Kanabus moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Annabel Kanabus, is essentially a press release for the subject I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Annabel Kanabus (February 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Avert (HIV and AIDS organisation). Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs more external news sources that focus on Kanabus's life, not just with AVERT but with other organizations.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Annabel Kanabus and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Annabel Kanabus, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, TamaraStaples. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Annabel Kanabus".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:10, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
