User:The Balance Music/The Balance

Thanks for your time, and looking forward hearing from you!!

It's not immediately clear to me that the band meets the notability requirements set out at WP:BAND, or that either of the albums meets the requirements for albums set out at WP:NALBUM. So before any of these are moved you will need to cite significant coverage in reliable sources demonstrating their notability. – ukexpat (talk) 17:47, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

This is my first Wikipedia article so I just want to check I'm along the right lines. There are no references because I've only used Tirimo's website for information (with permission), which is posted in the External links section anyway.

Couple of major problems: first, the draft does not indicate how or why the company is notable per the guidelines set out at WP:CORP; second, it is too promotional in tone - it reads like a company marketing piece.

I would be grateful for feedback on this article.

I was surprised that the "Leeds Look" was not mentioned in the existing Architecture of Leeds article but if my stuff was merged in to this there would be a danger of the article becoming too long especially as I have some other potential bits and pieces about Leeds architectural history that could be added.

I have done a little reformatting per the Manual of Style.

I moved the article to Ambrose Hotel as there is no need for the "Barrow-in-Furness" disambiguation. I also tidied up the text, fixed some typos, added some wikilinks, and some categories. You will need to find some more sources to support notability - at the moment the article is not showing the significant coverage in reliable sources required, hence the maintenance tags that I have added. – ukexpat (talk) 02:00, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Prince EX03 Red

This is an article about a racquet from the EX03 Prince series and lists specs, professional players who have used it, etc. It is not meant to be an advertisement, but rather a source of information for those who are interested in the racquet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zach emory (talkcontribs) 03:24, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

The article does read like an advertisement--you've got a large quote in there from the manufacturer, and your references are the manufacturer and a vendor website. I suggest dropping the quote, and getting some references into the article from sources not associated with the manufacture or sale of the racquet. If this racquet is notable, there should be some interviews or magazine articles about it.Nuujinn (talk) 12:55, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Very sorry for the confusion! My new comments are below, starting with 'Thank you for your prompt feedback'.


Hello, I have created a new entry which is currently in draft form at

User:Meechpod/Marijan Dundek

I've tried to find the answers to the following questions but I'm afraid I got lost in the many different help sections. My main questions are:

How do I upload the two images? (public domain)

How do I add the subject category?

There are probably some other issues that need fixing, like the format of the links in References and External Links.

I think that once these issues are resolved, the article is ready for going live.

Thank you for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Meechpod (talk) 12:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

You add categories by typing eg. [[Category:1950 births]] at the bottom of the page for each category that you want the article to appear in. It's best not to do this until the article is "live".
For help formating your references, see Wikipedia:Citing sources. You especially need to make sure that you reference his "claims to fame" so to speak - say who thinks he's an authority, where does it say his book is the top-selling one, the most popular etc.
By the way, to link to an article or page here, like you have done above, you just need to enclose the name in two square brackets, eg. [[User:Meechpod/new article name here]] gives User:Meechpod/new article name here.
Hope this helps, --BelovedFreak 13:07, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
(after edit conflict) I'll leave the upload question to somebody more familiar with that than I am; but are you sure the pictures are public domain? You'll need to demonstrate that. (If you're planning to use the photo of the Lesotho Promise from the Jewellery Outlook article, that appears to belong to Graff Diamonds).
You add an article to a category by inserting [[Category:<category name>]] anywhere in it - usually at the bottom.
There are indeed issues which need fixing, so that the article is not ready for going live. The minor point is that the language is not encyclopaedic: please read WP:PEACOCK. The more serious one is that there are no independent, substantial references to reliable sources. While the article does implicitly assert the subject's notability as the author of a significant book, you need to establish his notability, and meet the stringent requirements of WP:BLP or the article will certainly be nominated for deletion as non-notable. --ColinFine (talk) 13:09, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt feedback. I have removed 'peacock' terms such as 'top-selling' and 'popular' ('top-selling' was included on the basis of the book having the top spot in the Amazon ranking of books of this subject matter -- is that allowed to be mentioned?).

I read the section WP:BLP and it seems that the subject meets these criteria, as his book has been judged notable in its field by the organizations mentioned and peer reviews (such as the two cited in references). I'm not clear as to why these two sources do not qualify as independent, reliable references, as they come from independent published sources.

I don't believe I have other source material I can add, so please tell me if you feel the article does not merit inclusion on the basis of the references given so far and I will delete it. Thank you for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meechpod (talkcontribs) 18:38, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

kaiserbahnhof halbe

{{Done}} – ukexpat (talk) 20:33, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Collapsing draft article text

New article name is Kaiserbahnhof Halbe

Background

The town of Halbe is about 40 km south east of Berlin. Northeast of the town is a level crossing from the main street which leads to the train station for Halbe. Parallel to the railway track about 10 meters apart from each other to the north is the Public Station Building and to the south the extraordinary and historic listed property, the Royal train station building, also known as the Royal reception building. In older sources and on postcards the station is also known as the Emperor Station or is designated the Imperial Hunting Seat for the Hohenzollern family.

History

The history of Halbe station is closely linked with the development of the Prussian railway system. After 1838 the first Prussian railroad track had already been opened from Berlin to Potsdam. In the following decade further fast connections to the capital Berlin were developed. A second rapid development phase of the railway began in the 1860’s. In little more than a decade the number of the tracks emanating from Berlin doubled.

The Cottbus from Görlitz line

The first new building of this second phase was the Berlin connection with Cottbus from Görlitz. A royal decree of 1858 smoothed the way for the line's construction. Bethel Henry Strousbergs, the railway king of this time, formed the Berlin Görlitzer Railway Company. A cabinet order of May 1864 approved the building of the railway by Strousberg's corporation. The initial distance to Cottbus was completed in 1866, and to Görlitz the 1867. The main station in Berlin was designed in 1866-68 by August Orth.

The Halbe train station on this line was used from 1866 until just before the First World War in 1912 when the building was adapted for other uses, primarily by reducing the installation of partitions and with the height of the rooms being reduced with false ceilings. Furthermore a single-storey porch was added to the structure to the south and the goods sheds to the north were extended.

The Architect August Orth

The Royal reception building was designed by the renowned Berlin architect, August Orth. The building, probably a gift of the railway company to the kaiser, served as starting point for his hunts in the extensive forests surrounding Halbe. The kaiser and later emperors used the Royal reception building, which was administered by a house yard master, on only three occasions.

August Orth was one of the most important architects in Berlin in the second half of the 19th Century. Beside numerous churches (e.g. the 1865 Zionskirche in Berlin) he was particularly famous as the architect and planners for the rapidly developing railway network. He is regarded as one the founding fathers of Berlin's metropolitan railway. From the 1860s he was the preferred architect of the railway tycoon Bethel Henry Strousbergs, for which he sketched in 1867/68 a splendid palace and from 1868 the large cattle and slaughterhouse in Berlin's Wedding district. The buildings for the Berlin Görlitzer railway, which also developed from the Strousberg's connection, are an outstanding example of Orth’s work. The most important building was thereby the 1866-68 established large representative reception building in Berlin. SHis most famous was the Gorlitzer railway station, which was destroyed in World War Two. The site has a small cafe in the remaining building and is a large park. The Royal reception building in Halbe is an important example of Royal train stations by this the architect August Orth.

The architecture of the Station Building

That Station reception building the station Halbe is a red building of exposed bricks, whose wall surfaces are highlighted with horizontal strips by yellowish clay bricks. It consists actual reception building adjacent to the single-storey goods shed to the north directly with a ticket hall, restaurant and official residence as well as other facilities. The simple decoration of the building is completed by ornaments such as round windows.

The exterior of the Royal Train Station building

Royal reception building is a rectangular, single-storey building of exposed red bricks with four towers and a entry extending into the large freestanding area to the east of the building. The towers each open in in each case five arched arcades to the free standing area to the east and to the railway tracks to the west. At the track side there were formerly two entrances. From the free standing area the entrance was possible by those on horse and carriage. It was crowned by an eagle carved out of red stone. The wall surfaces consists of red clay bricks horizontally laid and broken by bands of yellow clay bricks. All joints are mortared with red joint mortar. Straight-lineness and regularity of the brick-work are emphasized by a joint line. The upper evel is surrounded by a parapet wall, which incorporates the remaining window and wall openings.

The interior of the Royal Train Station

The inside of the Royal receipt building comprises three complex curved rooms with magnificent painted ceilings. In the design drawings these are called 'Vestibul', 'Waiting rooms of the Kaiser' and 'Salon for the Attendants'. Finally there was a 'Toilet & closet' as well as an area for the servants. With the 1912 changes partition walls and an intermediate ceiling were inserted, the original space remaining hidden above the intermediate cover. Golden painted stucco ribs with narrow bundle staffs are visible comprising oak leaves and shells. A spiral staircase in the northeast tower gives access to the first floor.

The Halbe Station Buildings - an ensemble

With the Station reception building and Royal reception building Halbe ensemble of station buildings is unique in Brandenburg. First both buildings are important examples Prussian railway buildings in the second half of the 19th Century.

Other comparable Royal reception buildings

Royal reception building in Halbe documents the railway company's enthusiasm for assisting the Kaisers. The building is the earliest example of a building reserved for the Kaiser and his guests in Brandenburg. Comparable buildings are the later Kaiser stations in Zehdenick Neuhof (1888) and Joachimsthal (1899) and Potsdam (1906).

North of England Education Conference

North of England Education Conference

My first article - looking for some general feedback and if it needs appropriate tag for improvement.

Many thanks

Davidburnell (talk) 16:59, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

First, I want to note that this is a very fine effort for a first article.
While I have some observations, most fall into the optional areas for improvement, as opposed to requirements.
  • I was looking for the overall purpose of the conference, and didn't find it clearly stated in the lede or as its own section. Those not familiar with the conference, might reasonably guess it has something to do with education goals, but it isn't obvious whether this means pedagogy, proposed legislation, or what. The best hint is in a section titled "Speakers" but that isn't the place I would look to find a purpose. Consider a separate section to cover the purpose or goals. It probably also belongs in the lede, but be aware that a lede section summarizes the article, so it is not only acceptable to be in both places, it is virtually required.
  • On a related point, I wondered if there were some notable deliverables - proposed legislation, proposed organizations or reorganizations of the educational system, white papers, or something else.
  • Please check out referencing. You nicely included some references, but the citation style could be improved.
  • Please examine the capitalization in the last sentence of your Delegates section (and you can refer to WP:MOSCAPS for help.) In some cases, e.g. Directors of Education, I assume the term is formal and requires capitalization, but I wonder if "Headteachers", "Higher Education", "Health", "Police", and "Voluntary Sector" should be capitalized.
  • You have a major heading "Since 2004" and discuss each conference since that date. Is there something special about 2004, or is that simply when you starting an annual summary?
  • The annual conferences are a secondary heading (which is fine) but the 2011 conference has a different level heading and a different title structure. I don't see a good reason for this, and would use the same format as for the other conferences.
  • In the section on the 2007 conference , you refer to "14 - 19 Learners". I don't know what this means.--SPhilbrickT 22:58, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:2SickNick/List_of_countries_by_greenhouse_gas_emissions_per_unit_area

Perhaps an issue is that because the page is based on another list of GHG per capita, some of the text is repeated from the original page.

On the other hand, these lists of countries can get out of hand if too many different lists are put in the same article and, in any case, the whole point of this article is that there are other ways to rank countries other than total GHG emissions or GHG per capita - which are the generally quoted yardsticks.

  - Nick  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2SickNick (talkcontribs) 06:14, 8 February 2010 (UTC) 
Sorry, but I don’t feel it is appropriate as an article, which is unfortunate, as you’ve obviously gone to a fair amount of work to create it.
As you correctly note, there are multiple ways of measuring GHG emissions. I don’t see the value of GHG/area. I read your explanation; it didn’t persuade me, but I’ll emphasize, it isn’t particularly important to try to persuade me. What is important is to find reliable sources discussing GHG as a ratio to area as a meaningful measure. Short of that, the article is Original Research which is strictly prohibited.
As an alternative, if you are convinced that it has value as a measure, you can persuade a reliable source to publish your research. If it catches on, it will then be appropriate for Wikipedia.SPhilbrickT 16:38, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Could it be relevant to the idea of ecological footprint? In any case, you do need to explain exactly why such an article could be useful. Itsmejudith (talk) 18:02, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't entirely see your point about it being "original research" All I've done is to take existing tables of data that are themselves encyclopaedic and combine them together. maybe I've combined it in a new way, but it doesn't seem so unusual to me. Seems as if I need to learn more about the purpose and style of Wikipedia, anyway. Thanks for the feedback. 2SickNick (talk) 00:39, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Joseph M. Sabol--Request for review

{{Done}} - no response from requester. – ukexpat (talk) 21:03, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

User:Picman6500/Joseph M. Sabol

This article is about Joseph M Sabol. An American Videographer who produced a documentary video on the 3 Mile Island Steam Generator Transport. This over land hauling project was the largest in US History. To do what he did was next to impossible. Joe did this entire production by himself at the request of KMX International, the company responsible for the over land transport.

From what I understand , he shot this video covering 70 miles in 30 days, film style. If you were able to see the obstacles in this job, you would appreciate this. The companies that were involved have been nominated for awards in their respective industries for the highest achievement possible using the video Joseph shot. Joseph did an amazing job and since he is a product of Parma Ohio, we (the authors ) feel he is notable.

We request a review so that we can correct any problems so it is published on Wikipedia and the other reason is that we feel not only that this article is worthy of publication but if it were not for the Security Issues involved, the media would have picked this up much sooner than it did. As it was, there was a News Media Center established in the same place as they used during the nuclear accident. Joseph was the only one allowed to videotape this entire project from the actual off loading on the Deleware to the arrival at 3 Mile Island. This is unprecedented.

Thank You

Siduanil (talk) 15:36, 8 February 2010 (UTC)Sidu Anil, Author, 2/08/2010

The article, which is currently at User:Picman6500/new_article_name_here, has a number of issues, most importantly notability. There is no clear assertion as to why Mr. Sabol or his company meet Wikipedia notability criteria. You could make a case for the notability of the transport of the steam generators, if it was the largest overland transport in US history (citation needed though), but that fact would not confer notability on the person who filmed it. The documentary itself may be notable enough for an article, if it attracts sufficient interest and media attention. It is conceivable that J & J Video Productions meets the criteria through its work, so the article might stand a better chance of sticking if it was about J & J rather than its owner. In any case, you will need to assert notability clearly, preferably in the lead section, before this article is ready to go live, and support it with reliable independent third-party citations. If you believe this is about a unique and unprecedented person or event, you need citations to confirm this.
Once notability is established, the tone of the article needs some work. The present version reads in parts like Mr. Sabol’s resume and in parts like promotional literature for his company. Phrases like “being somewhat of a visionary” are POV. Individuals should be referred to by their surnames (“Sabol” rather than “Joe” or “Joseph”) (see WP:MOS). Where specific assertions are made, such as the “national recognition” of J & J, the uniqueness of the steam generator transport etc., these should be supported with inline citations. Finally, you currently have external links embedded in the text, which is incorrect for Wikipedia. Many of these need to be changed to internal Wikilinks (such as Kutztown State University and Pat Garrett). Some others should be replaced with inline citations that confirm specific assertions, and any remaining relevant external links, such as the link to J & J’s official website, should be placed in an External links section at the bottom of the article.
NB: You describe yourself as the "authors", but the article appears to have been created by User:Picman6500. Please read WP:Multiple accounts and WP:Role account to ensure you are editing according to Wikipedia policy. Karenjc 11:35, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Aoleson88 (talk) 03:56, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

It looks to me like an essay assignment, which is not appropriate for Wikipedia.
I suggest you read the What Wikipedia is not policy page; in particular, the sections on Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought ("Although Wikipedia is supposed to compile human knowledge, it is not a vehicle to make opinions become part of such knowledge") and Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal ("The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to teach subject matter"). Perhaps the article title should be redirected to Opium#Cultural references instead? Dori ❦ (TalkContribsReview) ❦ 05:34, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I have edited some of the information. It was not an essay assignment--I think the last line in the Overview made it appear that way. Does this look any better? Aoleson88 (talk) 04:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, just starting with the first paragraph I see a number of style and wording issues (but I'm new at this). Using the word "ensnared" is probably not the best choice--it's not really neutral. "what is most commonly recognized" is passive voice and not referenced--I studied comp lit for about 14 years, and personally I don't regard opium as a "creative counterpart" to literature and poetry--and the important thing about that is both mine and and the position you put into the paragraph are points of view, and don't belong in an encyclopedia article. Likewise, if you want to assert that there were three different views of the effects of opium on Romantic Lit, you need to supply a verifiable reference. And it seems from the later text that these three views are from three people; Abrams, Schnieder and Hayter. Are there not more proponants of each position you could cite?
It gets better further on, but you might consider rewording parts of it to make the references clearer in the prose (eg. "Soandso has argued that Coleridge's use of opium interfered with his ability to finish Cristobal and Kubla Kahn"). For example, the Opium, Real Images, and Dreaming as a Channel section reads well, but it's unclear to me if the entirety of that section is Hayter's opinions, or comes from other sources as well. It might help if you think of this as an article on the different views of the effects of opium use on English romantic authors,
I think you have a nice start here, though, good work! Nuujinn (talk) 01:15, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

A small village located in the Guntakal Mandal area of Anantapur district in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh in India. Kasapuram is famous for it's Lord Nettikanti Anjaneya temple which carries it's history way back from 16th Century, a period of Vijayanagara Samrajya of Sri Krishna Devaraya.

The Village attracts interest because of the Hanuman Temple whose annual income can be said to have crossed Rs. 2 Crores due to evergrowing amount of pilgrimage. About half of the Village's population depends on the Temple for livelihood directly or indirectly.

Kasapuram can be divided into two parts by the main road, where one part is the proper village and the other being the Temple area. The Temple area is said to have had a name called "Nettikallu" which is the base for the Lord's name "Nettikanti" currently. The temple area looks quite developed because of a huge pilgrimage and income of the Temple. The Village borders the Anantapur district area adjoining Maddikera village of Kurnool district.

The name of my article is Eckhard Stratmann-Mertens, a founding member of the German Green Party and one of the first Green Party members to be elected to the German parliament. (A group of 28 were sent all at once.) Additionally, Mr. Stratmann-Mertens was the first Green to speak in the Bundestag (parliament).

This article is essentially a translation from the German Wikipedia article. Finding new information in a newspaper article, which was not in the original German article, some of my article is different from the original.

Anyone familiar with translation knows that one must always choose between translating word-for-word and making it read like a well-written text. Translating word-for-word results in very awkward writing, full of strange grammar and syntax. To make things sound better in English (my native language), I re-wrote some of the original, staying true to the information contained in it.

I have revised this article a number of times, improving the writing and look of the page and I think it's ready to go live. Then the lists and articles where Mr. Stratmann-Merten's name already exists on English and German Wikipedia pages can be linked to this article.

Thanks!

It's good and nearly ready to go live. You did the right thing in not sticking too closely to the German, because en.wikipedia doesn't have to be exactly the same as de.wikipedia. A few minor points.
Start with the subject's name in bold, and with his alternative name (formerly known as...) . After that, only use his surname. I thought the corduroys and open-necked shirt were relevant, but what he said wasn't. Perhaps there is a nuance in the German that is impossible to translate (was this much more informal than the usual first speech, for example?) You could just leave it out. In the lede you can just say he is a school teacher and give the details later. The name of the school doesn't need to be in twice. No need for links to articles in German wiki. Thanks very much for your contribution. Itsmejudith (talk) 14:10, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi and thanks for responding. I have made all the recommended changes, re-working some of it to make the copy (as in copywriting, not duplicate) flow better. The significance of the quote is that in his introduction, Stratmann-Mertens addressed the citizens of Germany before the members of parliament. I have added that information to the article, but left out the actual quote. I think the description in prose is sufficient.
I hope this can now go live.
Quick question — not sure how to search for the answer, so I hope it's okay to ask here. I notice that some pages seem to go live with a "redirect" from the User page. Why is that sometimes done and can that be avoided with this contribution of mine?

The move will automatically generate a redirect. When I write a new article, I do it in user space, then move it into main space, then delete the redirect.--SPhilbrickT 17:58, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, your citations are malformed, see WP:Cite for more info. Also, I'm not sure you have established notibility, the article could use more 2nd and 3rd party references. And this reads pretty much like an advertisement--making the prose more neutral and less enthusiatic would help. Nuujinn (talk) 23:02, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

A google search[1] show many references to this newspaper. I suggest that you add more information from the other sources so that the article sounds less like a press release.
I would also suggest removing the section 'Media Partnerships' because it contains mainly information that will go out-of-date.

This article concerns the 1946 'Atomic' coffee machine. It is factual and referenced. In the future I hope to add more information but I have already provided good references for the article. The images are my own work. I would be happy to have it reviewed.

Generally, this is reasonably written. However, references do not establish notability. For instance, blogs (e.g., CoffeeSnobs.org) are not reliable references, and a Google Patent search that shows only the patent abstract and date is dangerously close to original research. Also often surprising to new editors, other Wikipedia articles are not considered reliable sources. Notability requires coverage in reliable sources other than the ones just mentioned, and beyond a commercial web site dedicated to the subject of the article. See Wikipedia:RS and Wikipedia:N for more on reliable sources and notability, respectively. In this case, you might try searching for coverage in art history or art deco publications, like Art Nouveau and the like. One other minor point: Wikipedia's Manual of Style discourages the use of "The" as the first word in an article title. Better to change yours to "Atomic Coffee Machine".Writeswift 17:07, 17 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Writeswift (talkcontribs)

This seems to be your first article – congratulations on a pretty good start, with most boxes ticked. I’ll remove the unreviewed tag. Suggestions: I’d split the current lead section after “in 40 countries” and place the rest of it in a new “biography” section, and expand her personal details a little if relevant info is available (the Morris Kaplan and Lorna Edwards interviews currently cited in “Further links”would seem to be a good source.). The Reviews section lacks checkable citations and is promotional rather than encyclopaedic; it would be better removed altogether. YouTube links are not blanket-banned in Wikipedia but they often involve illegal use of copyrighted material, and videos of shows and newscasts are specifically mentioned as of concern (see guidance here). Unless you can show that your YouTube links don’t breach policy, they are better removed too. The format of some of your Further links needs tweaking, and you need to add categories - I will help out directly with this shortly. Karenjc 12:36, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I would like to get some feedback on this article. I think it's okay, but would just like to run it by the crew here.

This is about a man who was a noted piano author and teacher during the 1920's - 1940's. He was active till his death in 1964. He wrote about 100 articles and a number of books related to teaching piano. He also interviewed a number of world-famous musicians in his day. Because of the era in which he was active, much of his work is hard to come by now, though there are some articles or excerpts on the web and some of his books are available for sale at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and antiquarian sellers online. Of course, I can't use links for Amazon & crew, so I amassed what I could and added the list of his works that I found in his last book, which I own. He also made a very important contribution to another notable person, namely his wife, in that he taught her piano, an act that led to her becoming internationally famous toward the end of her life.

I look forward to any feedback on this article, either here or on my talk page. Thanks in advance! Marrante (talk) 15:26, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

This page needs a lot of work, and may not meet the criteria for inclusion at all. The article applies the term to all plants of the genus Monstera, whereas there is no reference to indicate that this term is in general use for this genus of plants. The term is attributed to Erasmus Darwin who does, indeed, use the term in his Botanic Garden..., but no to refer to Monstera species specifically, but to any plant which meets his definition (i.e. plants with double flowers). The etymology of the term "monster" is also wrong: monstrum is no "that which teaches" but rather "that which warns" (monere = to warn). (See the etymology of monster at M-W.com.) If the article is allowed to remain, the references must be rewritten to be inline references, so the facts and the references which verify them can be linked.

  • A YouTube video can fall under a reliable source, under two conditions:
1. If it is a convenience link
2. If the video contains information that is deemed a secondary source (see YouTube in the section on reliable sources here)
It appears in this case, the author is utilizing the YouTube videos - which house the original news stories - in good faith. As for advertising, it does not appear, at least to me, that this stub is anymore advertising-sounding than the entry on, say, Pilates. I think it's a good start.

Systemic bias

{{Done}} - sending to archive. – ukexpat (talk) 19:00, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Question unrelated to the purpose of this page
bg

I am a regular and prolific wikipedia editor. I have on-going problems with POV, incivility and "cabalism" by members of a particular wikiproject.

The problem is this: there is a certain class of topics which are interdisciplinary (I will call the fields field A and field B), but the members of the project for field A demonstrate no respect for the contributions of editors in field B. The members of field A greatly outnumber the members of field B, and their attitude seems to be that these topics are solely within thier own province, and that field B is really just, sort of a pretender (as if they think B is like a hobby to them or something, when it actually is a more rigorous and comprehensive study than A is.)

Great volumes of legitimate, academically supported, and unique contributions have been deleted. Some of it wholesale, and some of it is the long term, peacemeal activity. Some of it is by a few dedicated editors, and some of it is by one-timers, and newbies. The problem seems to be a pervasive attitude within the field A.

I have several questions, but my primary one is this: beyond the mediation services provided in WP, is there some judicial check? If I disagree with a mediated resolution, is there some duly appointed judicial body which is authoritative? My problem is that the "wikipedia consensus" obviously fails in situations like these. Is a mediation committee able to see beyond the rancor of a large group that wrongly sees contributions from field B as "POV pushing" when the reality is that academics from field B actually produce legitimate subject matter. It seems that the problem is respecting legitimate interdisciplinary contributions.Anon12e456 (talk) 19:52, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

WP:Systemic bias is a known and recognized problem at Wikipedia. As an organization that generally governs itself by consensus, members of larger groups are going to skew the view of the encyclopedia toward their side. Ideally, the dispute resolution process should address this bias by involving editors who are not involved in either side of the dispute. Unfortunately, it often happens that editors who are not familiar with either side are not well enough informed to make useful decisions, and so they stay away from such discussions. I'm afraid there really isn't a "final arbiter"; the community itself is its own final arbiter. I can only suggest that you exercise patience and try to build bridges between "field A" and "field B" to produce better articles in the common areas. I also suggest that you review the sockpuppetry rules. You claim to be a "regular and prolific" editor, and yet this user name was created solely for the purpose of creating this entry. Creating a new account to avoid the scrutiny of those with whom you have a dispute does not appear to fall under the legitimate uses of an alternative account.

(ec)Sorry, but you are in the wrong place. This is a place to elicit feedback about specific articles. You have a concern, but a very different concern.
