Advice for new contributor
Hi
Thanks for your welcoming email.
I am hoping that if you have the time you can have a look at an contribution I have made to the Chronic_fatigue_syndrome_treatment#Controversy section :-
"Judgement in a First-tier Tribunal (20-22 April 2016) where PACE trial researchers had the chance to present evidence and be cross examined stated "assessment of activist behaviour was,in our view, grossly exaggerated and the only actual evidence was that an individual at a seminar had heckled Professor Chalder. Judgement in this case ordered the release of the PACE trial anonymised data under the Freedom of Information Act noting "there could be legitimate concerns that they wish to suppress criticism and proper scrutiny of their trial". Approximately £250,000 (inc tax) was spent on legal fees for this appeal by the appellant to try to prevent the release of the anonymised data. The origins of this Judgement can be traced back to the denial of a seperate 2013 FOI request by the Pace Researchers on the grounds that the cost would be in excess of a £450 limit
While this may appear one sided it is fully referenced factual reporting of a summary of a court judgement that was very critical ( I have not cherry picked the quotes) and I cant find any counter points in the judgement. I believe it brings a different point of view to much of the tone of the rest of the article. Where mention of criticism seems to be countered that the criticism is undertaken by a small group of "damaging individuals". I could add that the appellant has issued a statement, that they have a right to appeal (but only on a point of law), or there was a dissenting member of the court (but this was only on a couple of minor points) and the Judgement was an unanimous decision.
The judgement is considered a major event by both CFS suffers and international researchers. The release of the data that has been ordered will enable independent researchers to analyse the trial - they may find the original results were good or they may not - but at least it allows much of controversy around the PACE trail to be put to bed once and for all. And I feel the inclusion (in some way or other) is very important information that should be included in Wikipedia.
I accept the end of my post could be seen as biased comment but it again factual referenced reporting of Freedom of Information disclosures.
User: Alexbrn has repeatedly deleted my post (in its entirety) without any reason I can understand - and has sent me a talk threatening me with loss of editing rights if I persist in reverting to my version. I have sent a talk to him to ask for his help in making sure the post conforms to the spirit of Wikipedia. But having read his talk stream it is quite clear to me he is not the best person to ask.
I would be very grateful if you can help me get this post right. Or reach a consensus with the editors. I was hoping to be an active contributor but my experience with User: Alexbrn is quite off putting.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Update to Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems
Greetings!
I requested a page move for Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems to Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services. I see that you already made the edit for me (THANK YOU!!) However, the edit doesn't seem to be complete. The page is now called Raytheon Intelligence, and Information Systems. What I requested it be renamed to is Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services. Could you help me get that taken care of?
Very much appreciated!
Jpalens (talk) 17:28, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Thanks again for responding so quickly! I see you made another edit to the page, but the title is still incorrect.
Original title = Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems First Update = Raytheon Intelligence, and Information Systems Newest Update = Raytheon Intelligence, Information Systems Requested Update = Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services
Sorry to be a pest, but trying to make sure the entry is accurate. Thanks as always for your help!
Jpalens (talk) 17:38, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Getting close. It needs to be called this exact phrase:
Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services
The "and" is currently missing. With that update, the entry will be correct.
Thanks!
Jpalens (talk) 17:45, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
The entry now says Raytheon Intelligence, and Information Services, which is still incorrect.
Please update the page with this *exact* title:
Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services
Jpalens (talk) 17:51, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Now the title says Intelligence, and Information and Services.
I've now tried to move it myself as the option finally appeared in my Editor screen. But I get a permission error when I submit the change.
Please make the page title Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services

- It depends on the page you move. Pages protected with protection that doesn't allow your user rights to edit them won't allow you to move them either! Hope that helps! VarunFEB2003 I am Offline 18:49, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
What's the page?OK, I see what it is, I'll look at it. JohnCD (talk) 19:58, 24 August 2016 (UTC)- Fixed. The page is now at Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services. The problem was that in the course of all these moves the page had been at the correct title before, but was then moved away, leaving a redirect which had to be deleted before it could be moved back. I will find and delete all the incorrect variant titles, which do not seem to me to be useful redirects. JohnCD (talk) 20:05, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- All done. Moral: the "move" page is deceptively easy to use, but can cause a lot of confusion. It's worth taking a deep breath and double checking everything before you click "Move page". I usually set up the new title in a sandbox, check it, and cut and paste from there, to guard against typos. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:19, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of the article
KGirlTrucker81, I saw you asked to delete the article Kenny Nsumbu Mpaka because you didn't see any reference/ external links to a reliable source. Now you can take a look and will see references to reliable sources. Is it possible to cancel the deletion of this article?
I would like to thank you in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MahemeneT (talk • contribs) 23:55, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- Take a look at the referencing for beginners tutorial if you need help on citing sources. But you'll have 7 days to fill the refs in the article before it gets deleted and feel free to remove the BLP PROD template yourself once you add them. KGirlTrucker81 talk what I'm been doing 01:31, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
I have deleted the featured article review for the above article because FAR is designed to re-assess articles that are already featured not to promote articles that are not featured yet. The process you meant to use is at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. However, I should warn you that the article will not be promoted in its current form because it does not meet Wikipedia:Featured article criteria. In particular, it contains unsourced paragraphs and is labeled for "citation needed" in at least one place. These are themselves sufficient grounds to decline featured status.

Spotting copyvio
Hallo, in St. Mary's Church Finedon which you tagged, the wording "this present church of ours" seems a good clue that the text may not have been written for Wikipedia but lifted from somewhere else - turns out to be a pure copyright violation of http://www.stmarysfinedon.co.uk/ (though the creating editor has the same name as the church webmaster, so may, or may not, actually own the copyright). It's worth checking a case like this: I googled the phrase "than any other building in Finedon" as something distinctive, and it found the goods. (Plus several other places where the same text had been recycled!) PamD 23:21, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

ORCP
Hello. I saw you recently contributed to a poll at WP:ORCP. Specifically, you suggest that someone "wait 4 more years" before applying at RfA again. You're certainly welcome to your opinions and to have your own RfA criteria, but telling someone to wait four years is pretty far outside of normal consensus. This could unnecessarily discourage someone to such a degree that they never try again. It's just something to think about. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:03, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Pending changes
Hi KGirlTrucker81, please be careful when approving edits that add images to articles. This edit that you accepted added a blatant copyright-violating image to the article. A quick Google image search of the image shows that is was copied from the associated movie poster. Thank you, --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:38, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
- Per the first rule of WP:RVW#General criteria, are you checking the actual content being added and the source, and whether or not they comply with WP:BLP? this edit that you accepted did not, as the addition was a WP:POV and WP:SYN edit, trying to claim it was a "scandal" or "notorious" (POV language that does definitely require better sourcing and follow the principles of WP:YESPOV) Or did you just assume that it was OK merely because there was any source cited.

Foreign-language articles
You can usually find out what language an article is in by feeding it, or a chunk of it, to Google translate, setting it to "Detect language". If you then add the language to the "notenglish" template, e.g. {{Not English|Spanish}}, the template when expanded on the article page includes a link to a Google translation, which is useful for reviewers. Machine translations are not good enough for articles, but are often enough to tell that an article can be speedy-tagged as A7 or A10 or G11, or PRODded.

It didn't really matter whether it was blank or a test. Either way it wasn't a valid submission, and it was an editor playing around.

A note about AFC declines
I was on IRC and a helpee mentioned their declined page Draft:ATMIA. I see that you have declined based on a lack of inline citations. While it's not an official policy, the unofficial consensus between the AFC reviewers is that ilc should be used primarily for BLP drafts (since they must have inline citations). For businesses and other entities inline citations are not as vital (especially if they have good references). In addition (also unofficially) ilc could be used for "this draft is good enough but needs to have the refs in the body of the text" (again, a bit more for BLP articles). Cheers, Primefac (talk) 16:01, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, not that much inline ciations besides BLPs. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 17:13, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- Please note that lack of inline citations is not a valid reason to decline drafts at AFC except for BLP drafts (and a few other cases which almost never occur in drafts at AFC). Primefac is actually mistaken, the requirement is in fact backed up by policy, not merely "unofficial consensus", see WP:MINREF. Please take some time to review the AFC Reviewing instructions before you continue doing reviews. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:19, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Sir, This Time I have done a good amount studies and build up references as link to get this article validated. Yes I understand that being a beginner there are possibilities of format error and statement flaws, by the way I can improve it and correct with your valuable guidance to get my page "Nadelakar" Published.
This write-up would be significant to bring the efforts of the volumetrically largest community in the state of Kerala, India, which is being called as Thiyyar Warrior, so get this draft publicized is very important achievement in this world of information technology. Secondly this draft will not result in any community differences rather it will unite and teach each community of this place to respect each other. Ultimately the objective to show that human race is interconnected and the changes are just a matter of evolution.
May I kindly know the area of concerns, if any and let me know your inputs to get this published.
- Per the declining reason, you may fix the format to get it improved. If you want more questions visit the teahouse. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 20:00, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
- Animech.79, I just declined your draft again. You have no references. Wikipedia is not a valid reference. Blogspot (and other blogs) are not valid references. You really need to add some, from independent reliable sources like newspapers and magazines.
- Additionally, I am really struggling to get through the actual grammar and sentence structure of this draft. I strongly suggest you find someone to assist you in the actual prose, as it is very difficult to read in its current format.
- Please do not resubmit your draft until these two issues have been fixed. I highly suggest reading through Your first article. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 00:24, 4 October 2016 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

UAA
Greetings, KGirl. I wanted to drop by and say I greatly appreciate and thank you for your work at UAA. There is one thing I'd like to suggest. It says in the UAA instructions, Promotional violations require indisputable evidence. Do not report a username merely because it "looks" promotional. For there to be a violation, there must be edits or log entries that clearly link them to a particular company, organization, group, product, or website.
I have seen you report seemingly promotional accounts from which no edits have been made, as I did when I started my now-major work at UAA.
I've found that some users with usernames that appear promotional do make constructive, non-promotional edits, and there are also some who do make promotional edits or pages, but there is no link between the contributions and the username. In these cases, I tend to leave the user a {{Uw-username}} (or, in the second case, {{Uw-coi-username}} if there appears to be a related COI) message, as I think that's probably the best thing to do. If a user with a seemingly promotional username has not yet edited, or if the username isn't blatantly promotional, it's best to wait until they edit.
Now, I have a feeling I may be doing this part wrong, so you may wish to ignore this, but when I come across a user with a username that appears promotional, and who creates a page about an organisation/group/website represented by the username, but the contributions indicate a mere COI rather than unambiguous promotion, I tend to leave the user a {{Uw-coi-username}} message, to let them know of the username and COI policies and give them a chance to get their account renamed or abandon it, rather than going straight to UAA and letting them get immediately blocked. In fact, I probably am doing it wrong, because in these cases, the usernames do still violate the username policy, as there is a direct link to the edits, and a soft block can take care of it while avoiding biting.
It would be helpful if you could take this approach in the future. Once again, thanks for your UAA work! Regards, Linguist 111 If you reply here, please add {{ping|Linguist111}} to the start of your message 13:14, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Linguist111: You welcome, and thanks for the advice! KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 13:26, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- Linguist111, just a thought regarding your last paragraph: I see a ton of promotional usernames via the IRC help chat, and even if they have created promotional stuff directly connected I still leave a warning on their talk page; 99% of the time they didn't even realize they were violating the guidelines. So I completely agree with you! Primefac (talk) 18:23, 9 October 2016 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
- @Primefac: Thanks. Glad to hear I'm not alone on that. I personally think that doing it that way is better for those who haven't edited promotionally. Blocking a user immediately without prior notice, even if it's a soft block, can be a bit bitey, because I fear it may deter them. Letting them know about the username policy and giving them a chance to adhere to it is better practice than drive-by blocking, which they could have avoided if they'd just known about the UNP. I didn't know there was a UNP when I first registered; I just wasn't interested in creating or dealing with articles about companies, or any other articles for that matter at the time.
One thing I also want to mention, being someone who reports to and clerks at UAA quite a lot, and finds and speedy-tags a lot of pages, is the speedy-tagging of newly-created pages about a company, under a matching username, that are not pure spam, but rather have a COI problem. Pages that are clearly spam and unencyclopedic (containing, for example, "At XYZ Company we only give you the best! Come and buy our products now!...") do meet CSD and can easily be speedied, with the creator blocked if necessary. But suppose that same user wrote an encyclopedic, descriptive, and well-sourced article with no flagrant promotion about the same company (e.g. "XYZ Company is a [whatever] company based in [place]. It was founded in [year] by [founder]...). I see many pages like this that don't look like pure spam speedy-tagged and deleted and their creators blocked in the presence of a username–article correlation, while that may not have happened had the person had a policy-compliant username. I have in the past speedy-tagged pages like that and I fear I've been bitey. Linguist 111 If you reply here, please add {{ping|Linguist111}} to the start of your message 19:48, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:StudioEyeconic
A tag has been placed on your user page, User talk:StudioEyeconic, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

- Interesting, I thought Blogs can be valid references. Just because it is a blog doesn't automatically make it invalid. Maybe I'm wrong though, I am relatively new to this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blogs_as_sources
- Etoya123 (talk) 01:34, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
- Etoya123, blogs can be valid references, but only in extremely limited circumstances. In all my time editing Wikipedia I have yet to see a blog meet said criteria (though I do recognize that it's huge and I've only edited probably 0.001% of all the articles). So... 99% of the time "blog=bad" as far as references go. As a note, the link you used is a failed proposal, i.e. it's not policy. Primefac (talk) 04:52, 16 October 2016 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

I cited information in Geostorm's infobox because an IP editor kept adding unsourced production companies. In [1] and [2], you accepted edits two edits from an IP. It's very sneaky disruption, and it looks like the edit is legit. However, if you check the source, you'll see that the IP editor is misrepresenting it – the information cited does not exist in the source. It often pays to be paranoid when you're working on PC1-protected articles if you're not aware of the original reason why they were protected. This IP editor's disruption is why the article was protected in the first place. If you continue to let the disruption through, I'll have to request semi-protection, because PC1 is obviously not working. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:33, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Your review of Draft:Juliette Ashby
Hi, when you reviewed Draft:Juliette Ashby you gave an invalid decline reason. All of the references in the draft are in fact inline citations. Please take care when selecting a decline reason from the menu, a slip of the mouse can easily result in a nonsensical message being delivered to the draft's author. I have reverted it.
Don't let the pressure of the backlog get to you, you are not responsible for it. Relax and take your time with each review. You might find it useful to have a printed copy of the AFC reviewing flowchart to refer to as you do reviews. Thanks for your contribution to AFC. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:03, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello! I manage the social media for SHN and I am new to editing Wikipedia. We own and operate the [Orpheum Theatre] and the [Golden Gate Theatre] I wanted to remove the addresses, because we created new official Facebook pages for these venues here and here. However, our patrons keep checking in to the Wiki pages here and here, which have no affiliation with us. Because they have been checking in to the Wiki page, our official page has not shown up on Facebook. I have been in contact with Facebook support, and they are unable to merge our Wiki pages. So I would like to remove the address, so our patrons can check in to our official pages. Does that make sense? I can add the addresses in the body of the article. Thank you for your consideration. Cashew1021 (talk) 19:19, 21 October 2016 (UTC)cashew1021
- Hi there, it's okay to remove addresses but you must explain why on the edit summary box telling this should been removed. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 19:27, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
- Cashew1021, we have nothing to do with Facebook, and quite honestly changing our Wiki page isn't going to significantly affect Facebook or the pages people view. Additionally, we cannot be removing relevant information from a Wiki article simply because someone wants a mirror site to go down. Again, that is an issue with Facebook. I wish you luck.

Request on 09:31:29, 23 October 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by AlexiaVassiliouMusic
Hello KGirlTrucker81. I received your message regarding the article "Alexia Vassiliou" that I submitted for review. I am not familiar with how the process of submitting on Wikipedia works 100%, and would like your help to get this up on Wikipedia, if possible... The person I am writing about is a well known singer/composer in Greece & Cyprus. She has a wikipedia page up in Greek (Aλέξια), but have translated it into English so that she can have one up on the english site. I read your comment regarding the advertisement, and I can rewrite that by including who mentioned some of the information vs just putting the reference, but is that the only thing wrong? Thanks again for your help. Valentina (Alexia Vassiliou Music (talk) 09:31, 23 October 2016 (UTC))

Hello KGirlTrucker81, I am writing to you again, so you may see two messages from me regarding the page "Alexia Vassiliou". I went ahead and reworded some of the sentences to make it less advertisement like. Could you please let me know if this is OK, or do I need to rework it some more before I resubmit it. Also, I am trying to add Alexia's record labels in the side box in the beginning and I'm unable to. I see it in the edit box, but it will not transfer to the preview. Am I missing something? Thanks again! Valentina Alexia Vassiliou Music (talk) 13:01, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

This one. Its pretty certain that Noel Gallagher is not known for his ability to play the maraccas, digeridoo, harmonica & Cowbell. Regards, Only in death does duty end (talk) 09:06, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, he not tried to play any of those instruments above. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 05:54, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
- As far as I am aware no :) This was probably petty vandalism, however its *possible* (but very unlikely) that Noel played those instruments once on a song (I'm not a huge Oasis or HFB fan). Infobox's for musicians however *only* include their main instrument/s. Not things they dabble in once or twice. The maraccas and harmonica are feasible but unlikely. Cowbell and Digiridoo? It takes years of practice to become a competant Digiridoo player and the sound it makes is hardly in keeping with Noel's musical style.

- Mirandaga, you have not resubmitted your draft. You need to click the "Resubmit" link found in the decline notice. As a note regarding references: you should not just link to the generic homepage of a source, but should link directly to the awards list itself. Additionally, the references you've given do not specifically talk about Berger. You should find more coverage specifically about him. What you have is fine, you just need more.

Nominating Doctor Strange for GA
Thank you for feeling the need to nominate Doctor Strange (film) for a Good Article. However, films that have not released, or are currently in theaters are NOT eligible to be nominated. Articles can be nominated once the box office has stabilized and is no longer changing. This article will be nominated again when this has happened. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:07, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
- OK :) KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 03:10, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
- KGirlTrucker81, you will want to read the GA nomination instructions page before you nominate any further articles for GA. In particular, note that if you have not been a significant editor on the article, you should post to the article's talk page and check with the people who have put significant work into the article to see whether they think the article is ready to be nominated before you submit a nomination. In this case, you would have gotten the above response and known not to nominate it. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:09, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Request on 21:33:49, 4 November 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Alexgsd
Hi - thanks for the quick review!
You rejected the article because of a citation reference to a blog. Is it citation 19 ("TMR Blog") that's of concern?
If so, I'm not entirely sure of the best way to handle this and could use some guidance. The cited page is from the site of a respected literary journal; they just happen to announce their contest results as blog posts. I.e., this is not some private individual's blog, but a solid organization's website that happens to include a blog.Is there an acceptable way to reference that page, or should I just reference the home page of their site (not as useful, since the visitor would have to then search their site to find the relevant info)?
Open to suggestions - many thanks. Alexgsd (talk) 21:33, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
Alexgsd (talk) 21:33, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, using blogs as references is mostly no. Reliable sources are required for independent notability such as a newspaper review or news site reference. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 21:44, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Per your advice that blogs are not acceptable in citations, I've substituted the Missouri Review main site URL for the link to their blog (in citation #19). A visitor could use their site's native search tool to locate the contest results being referenced in citation #19.

Thanks for accepting the article, @KGirlTrucker81. Can you give me some guidance on why the article still has the warning "This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification"? I've cited references for every factual item I could (25 citations for a very short article). What more is expected here? Also, the article is not coming up in the primary Wikipedia search, though it appears in secondary results. Does that just take some time? Thanks as always!

KGirlTrucker81, it looks like you reverted my removal of the maintenance template. I did read the article you suggested and am still a bit stumped as to what's required here. E.g., do I need citations for the year and place of birth, college graduation year, and residence in the Chicago area? Being new at this (as you've guessed...), I modeled my article on some other author articles, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Shepard. Those have similar biographical details, largely without citations, and don't display the maintenance warning. Can you guide me on how to resolve this? I'm sorry for the dumb questions...just getting oriented here and it's a bit overwhelming to say the least. Alexgsd (talk) 22:27, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
- Unless the section is sourced, please don't remove it. The "find sources" inside the template will help you find a source. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 23:02, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
Why did you accept this revision?
Hi KGirlTrucker, hope you're having a great day. Thanks for your constructive criticism over at ORCP, however, on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (UK series 16), you accepted this [3] revision, however, it was completely unsourced and unverifiable, so I unaccepted and reverted the edit. Was this a genuine error?

- It is possbily unsourced but I mostly agreed with the change made. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 18:15, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
- The page was protected because of persistent addition unsourced content though. On that particular page, don't accept anything unless its backed up with a source, as most of the edits submitted (until the official lineup is released) are just rumours and gossip.
