Review of Mechanical amplifier

It has been rejected for the very reason why it was created, to replace an existing article mechanical amplifier, but is a mere redirect to torque amplifier. This redirect is merely a small subset of the wider definition of mechanical amplifier and is a misleading for the subject in hand. Therefore, there is a need to create this new article to generically define mechanical amplifier, with specific explanations and links to many subsets including torque amplifier, resonator, lever, gear train and others. I would like to invite other reviewers to kindly to consider this article for publication and therefore the replacement of the current essentially non-existent mechanical amplifier article (and remove the misleading redirect).

I tend to agree, but you've already contacted the reviewer, so there's nothing else to do. The draft itseld could do with some additional work, though - references 2 to 5 are not reliable sources, and I don't think they discuss the second law of thermodynamics in general anyway. Huon (talk) 10:35, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

College-level (or even high school) engineering or physics textbooks should be able to do a better job than the mythbusters forum and the other rather dodgy looking references. Reviewers can make mistakes, that's one reason why we go through multiple review cycles and involve multiple reviewers until we get it right. Improve the sourcing then resubmit it.

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Michael Shuisky

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Michael Shuisky Hi I'm sorry but I can't understand haw and where I need to change something in References? Check|url=scheme; Missing or empty|title=; Wikilink embedded in URL title ? Please give me example by Reference #5. Regards Шуйская (talk) 08:19, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In short, Wikipedia does not consider itself a reliable source; it should not be used as a reference. I have gutted the third reference and have turned it into a wikilink instead. The {{cite web}} template is meant to cite external websites, and it requires at least two parameters: That website's URL (and not a wikilink) and its title. It should look something like this: <ref>{{cite web|title=Example |url=http://www.example.com/ |publisher=[[Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA]] |accessdate=June 6, 2013}}</ref> Huon (talk) 10:43, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect, based on your question, that you found one of our over 6 million articles and thought we were affiliated in some way with that subject. Please note that you are at Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and this page is for asking questions related to using or contributing to Wikipedia itself. Thus, we have no special knowledge about the subject of your question. You can, however, search our vast catalogue of articles by typing a subject into the search field on the upper right side of your screen. If you cannot find what you are looking for, we have a reference desk, divided into various subject areas, where asking knowledge questions is welcome. Best of luck.

Greeting,

With regard to rejection due to lack of notability and third party references. We have three third party customer case studies. Located below.

Are these sufficient to meet our notability and third party references requirements for submission to Wikipedia

Thanks for your feedback.

US Curling Finds Firm Ice with AtomOS

The United States Curling Association (USCA) is the National Governing Body of the sport of curling in the United States and has its national office in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. It strives to grow the sport and to win medals in world championships and in international games. The success of the USCA is notable: curling is becoming a widely recognized sport in the US and has long been on in international markets.

The USCA is a member of the World Curling Federation and the U.S. Olympic Committee.

USA Curling’s membership has grown 47 percent between 2002 and 2012 or from 10,800 members to close to 16,000 with clubs now represented in 40 of 50 U.S. states. Curling as a sport also has grown to 49 countries, with 1.5 million participants. Canada is a mainstay in the international circles with nearly 1.2 million participants, while three other countries have more than 10,000 curlers—Japan, Scotland, and Switzerland.

Looking at the Needs and the Solutions

Recognizing that as it has expanded its national and international reach, it was also the USCA’s challenge to cost effectively communicates with its growing constituency and reduce costs. In particular, its domestic and international telephony costs; software and security costs; and the ability to handle 24/7 staff and customer service communications were areas of emphasis.

After examining its options, USCA teamed with Atom AMPD, to utilize its AtomOS software. AtomOS is a networking and communications solution, which distinctively integrates a Voice over Internet Protocol, also called VoIP. This is an important consideration particularly when software – driving the system – can be considered independently from hardware – the actual phones. “What this meant to us,” said Rick Patzke, Chief Operating Officer, “is that VoIP became an affordable consideration. We were able to select software independent phones which offered us considerable flexibility as well as savings.”

From the onset, USCA saw a significant savings in their phone bills. Even more important though was AtomOS’s ability to create a contact system that allowed USCA affiliates and others, like the World Curling Federation, to link together throughout the world on a 24/7 basis without incurring expensive call charges. “With international operations, it was critical that we could connect inexpensively, Patzke explained. “The end result of savings and connectivity was the exact, desired outcome.”

As USCA grew its online presence, it recognized that it was exposing itself to greater security risks. The organization was able to then utilize the AtomOS firewall protection.

The combination of the AtomOS single server software functionality enabled the ability to stop paying for makeshift security hardware and software and their accompanying licensing costs and to better utilize and deploy internal resources. “With far less hardware, and easy to use software, we saw significant productivity increases.”

The AtomOS is now being marketed internationally and has been the subject of numerous articles and presentations to technology and business professionals including how to assess licenses and make decisions regarding networking, communications and security.

No, they are not. "Customer case studies" are basically press releases. They are not independent. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:20, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Alia syed

Hi,

I submitted this page for review about a week ago - I understand there is a lot of articles waiting for review, but is there an estimated date that it will be completed? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Artjc4429 (talk • contribs) 17:49, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is no estimated date. I would guess it could be anywhere between one and two weeks, or perhaps in an extreme case three weeks. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:15, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
