The Signpost: 22 October 2014

Hey, Herald, could you possibly make the decision on whether Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/Pembroke_College should be promoted? It's very clear-cut, I realise, but someone who hasn't voted needs to edit it and add Promoted or Not promoted to it before it can be closed.

Don't worry about the rest of the closing process. Just add an appropriate decision as a note at the bottom. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:12, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Looks like its done. Thanks..The herald 07:52, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Brendan Rodgers

Regarding this - it was not a good faith edit, it was pure vandalism, using a homophobic insult. However thanks for reverting so quickly! GiantSnowman 13:28, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks bro.. Its been some time since I last used Igloo. So clicked the wrong button..--The herald 13:31, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Halloween cheer!

Junshi

Can you explain why you reverted the edit made in the "Junshi" article? I believe this edit helped the article, as vassal is not a common term. Warsilver (talkcontribs) 13:56, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

@Warsilver: Though you had done that, but I fear about overlinking in the lead section of the stub. Though its my lame argument, you may devote your time in improving the article (if interested). Further more, you may revert the edit, but methink you can improve the article. --The herald 13:03, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Halloween cheer!

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi, I've made some revisions and resubmitted the article "The Program for Research In Mathematics, Engineering and Science (PRIMES)". In your last communication with me, you said to notify you when we had resubmitted and you'd look at it again. I've added additional text and references. Thanks, Dodecahedronic (talk) 15:46, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Please revisit "The Program for Research In Mathematics, Engineering and Science (PRIMES)"

Hi, (not sure if the earlier post I made went through, so apologies if this is a duplicate). In your rejection of my article "The Program for Research In Mathematics, Engineering and Science (PRIMES)" you said to contact you to re-examine it once it was edited. I've provided some additional sources and some additional text to the article, and it has been resubmitted. Thanks for your feedback. Dodecahedronic (talk) 15:59, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Nigel Akkara

I am a new wiki user. I had submitted an AFC: Nigel Akkara on @25th August 2014. However you have replied that it cannot be accepted as yet due to lack of reliable sources. Would you please explain and help me as to how I may overcome this problem ? Passthebuck (talk) 09:27, 3 November 2014 (UTC) Passthebuck

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Myself, Benison and am ready to help you with any needed help. The reason why I have rejected your article submission was due to the lack of suitable and proper citations (references). Here in Wikipedia, we need exact and trusted sources for an article submission to be approved as an article. What you need is an organized layout and proper placement of citations which you have now. This page may also be good for you. Thanks.. --The herald 13:06, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
