Edited article per your suggestions

Hi, Please see revised article. I welcome any comments to further fix errors and move it live. Thanks! DyanDyan at SAC (talk) 19:46, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

@Dyan at SAC: You are missing the point about references. I'm not sure how to give you this information without repeating what I've said on the draft. Perhaps WP:42 will encapsulate it better than can I. Your username suggests that you are associated with St Anselms. Please try to stand right back and look at it from 5000 miles away Fiddle Faddle 19:52, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Yesterday I was on Kiwi IRC and got references approved, such as the Crier article. I'm really listening to all comments and implementing them, so it's frustrating to have different people say different things. The refs included are legitimate articles. It's also confusing when someone here pointed me to Bill Gates page and his entire 4th para is not cited. This is not a personal issue, I don't know Mr. DiSalvo well, so I am able to step back on this article but I understand your meaning about this. Would you mind pointing out the exact phrase or reference that you are referring to in your comments? That would be helpful to have a target. But again, the current refs were okayed by someone else in Wiki. Thanks! Best, Dyan Dyan at SAC (talk) 13:00, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

@Dyan at SAC: I see at Draft:Steven R. DiSalvo that Darylgolden has given you a very useful suggestion. Perhaps you can hear them when you can not hear me. One does not "get references approved" on an IRC channel, and I suspect, if you have received different information on IRC that one party to the conversation has misunderstood. Let me try to be as clear as I am able:
For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is
  • about them, and
  • is independent of them, and
  • is in WP:RS
Each of these must be true, all at once, or it is not a valid reference.
There are rare times when a primary source may be used. WP:PRIMARY explains this correctly
St Anselms itself is a primary source. Anything produced by St Anselms, including their press releases, is a primary source. Blogs, unless very particular blogs, are a primary source (hence my suggesting that you be wary of them).
So you need to examine your current references. If they fulfil these criteria, then use them. If they do not, then replace them. My view is that all four are not useful to your cause. Another reviewer may disagree. It is correct and good that we disagree because we work on consensus, not a rule book.
I will not be re-reviewing this draft. I make it an almost inviolate rule not to do so because other eyes than a single reviewer produce the best result. Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. I'd love to have been able to accept this one. Wikipedia is improved by decent articles. You have some work to do and you are well capable of doing it. Fiddle Faddle 13:28, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, Timtrent (Fiddle, Faddle?), I appreciate your review, comments and encouragement. I got more feedback today and +Howicus says "it doesn't look bad," while noting "more sources always help." The ones I included (and others removed) were all I can find after an exhaustive online search. I will add more as they may become available. Thanks, again. Crossing my fingers for an approval. Dyan Dyan at SAC (talk) 14:05, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

@Dyan at SAC: I have not really looked since your edits. I hope you have found extra references, because, and this is important, biographies of living persons are very vulnerable to our deletion processes, even when uncontroversial, primarily because the person is alive. This is why we insist on excellence in referencing.
When we approve a draft we do so on the basis that it has a better than 60% chance of surviving a deletion discussion. If you think that fighting to get approval is tough you do not want to fight against a deletion discussion. It is a difficult experience. So continue to improve your draft. Find those sources
Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL and

Only other references might be on a college webpage and I thought that was not allowed. Please advise. thanks! Dyan at SAC (talk) 14:19, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

@Dyan at SAC: This will prove, as you say, a tough article to source. I wonder if DiSalvo has to do more to get the media coverage. He seems notable, yes, but verifying it is tough. I did a quick search and was stumped, too. Using a different college web site will help, but does not assure success. A different college is independent, because it is different, but to is not perfect because it is not necessarily WP:RS Fiddle Faddle 14:23, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Not really necessary to merge the two articles, unless you want.

Fiddle, faddle, sorry to cause you extra work!! There is no information in the old article George Fried that I have not included in the new article Captain George Fried.

IN the future I will try not to make the mistake of writing a second article on one that has a stub. The stub was so brief and poor I though it would be ok to rename the article. Besides, I feel the inclusion of the RANK OF A SEA CAPTAIN is important. Fried was always known as a sea captain during his fame. It seemed wrong to write the article under the name George Fried, which is a very common name. I hope you see my point.

Sorry to cause extra work for you AND

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!

It would be less work for you!!! Sorry I made this error.

I am sorry I created a new page, Captain George Fried. Please do not delete it if you can help it. It is a far better article than the STUB WHICH IT UPDATE.

If you have time, Timtrent, message me if you can. I am sorry to cause you or anyone else extra work.

@Dcw2003: No-one could expect youto know about this. You are learning the ropes here. So am I, and I've been here for a while. If you look at the section below, here, I have asked for admin help to resolve it.
With regard to the honorific, we have rules about that, too. Just go with the flow. If he was always known as 'Captan', place it in the article as a fact that you cite. That would work well. Fiddle Faddle 06:18, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Merge help needed

Please look at the articles George Fried, and Captain George Fried, which ought to be an uncontroversial merge. The former is a pre-existing stub and the latter a new article created by a new editor. It would be a simple matter to copy and paste the fuller information over the stub, but I believe our rules may require a history merge, hence this request. Fiddle Faddle 06:14, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

What can I do to make this page more accurate besides providing the linked references that I have provided? I'm a little confuse as how those aren't substantial enough to warrant an approval?

Submission declined

Hi Timtrent

My article was recently declined: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Institute_of_Enterprise_and_Entrepreneurs stating that the submission did not have reliable sources but I included a number of sources which I'm sure are reliable. I also based the submission on a similar article which does not (to my mind) have any reliable sources that are independent yet it has been approved (this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Leadership_%26_Management ) and wondered why that one was approved but mine not?

Thanks in advance, Nathan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.212.120 (talk) 18:53, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

I think the reverse for many. Please do what I suggested and compare those you have against the standard I have reminded you about. Fiddle Faddle 18:56, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Request on 14:03:37, 23 April 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Wknabe


Dear Timetrent, My name is John Mavrakis, and I am the Founder of ideologie, a business advisory and licensing firm. One of our clients is Walter Knabe, a well known and respected artist in the world. In order to broaden the knowledge base of Walter, I wrote and drafted, and subsequently asked for posting, of a Wikipedia page for Walter. In order for there to be consistency in his social media management, I set up the account in Walter's name, and did all of my work in that realm. In fact, Walter had no idea I was doing this, and was overjoyed when I told him it was being submitted for posting. I had read all of the information about posting on Wikipedia, and knew that I had met every criteria before posting. So, when I saw that we were denied, I was flabbergasted! How do I go about getting this post live, now that you know it came from me and not Walter himself? Thanks a million! John Mavrakis ideologie john@ideaologie.com 812-320-2882

I have no idea why you removed the review history, which removed your resubmission button. I have reinstated it. Any editor in good standing may move a draft to the main namespace as an article, but I see this one as likely to fail. You should resubmit it for review and act upon the reviewers' comments fully.

I am telling every one in India that you people use Wikipedia to come on the google. But why I will need a page when I already come on google, if you type "Rajeev Jain" on google... You see about me on the right side of google page, which is already an achievement when there are thousands of "Rajeev Jain" - being so common name in India.

Its not a show off or trying to impress you but I have a page on me, which has 20k+ likes: https://www.facebook.com/rajivjaincinematographer. Its not a profile page instead its a community page on cinematography, other one is group page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rengedragonpictures/ which has 11k+ members.

Think, If I am wrong guy why so many people will join me on social media and I am not a actor/ star.

But I cant find how to send a message to him. Please forward this message to him Bhartendunatyaakademi also. If you ask me @Bhartendunatyaakademi didn't write anything wrong about me, but the way he has done, even I wont appreciate, he shouldn't try to make my page on other's deletion of pages.

I was actually in the middle of reviewing this when you did that as I saw your post at AN. My take is that WP:BIODEL says that in this type of situation the article may be deleted, so there is not a hard and fast answer. What is odd in this case is that the subject seems to be claiming that they are sufficiently notable but they just don't want a WP article. Usually these objections ar form people who do not believe they are notable enough for an entry or who object to certain personal details but neither of those seem to be the case here. That being the case I think it is appropriate that the MFD decide the ultimate fate of the draft. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:01, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Timtrent,

Thank you for reviewing the page CENTRI Technology. I noticed that it was declined for "reliable sources." Can you please advise which sources need to be updated? We cited numerous sources that are from third-party publications.

Please let me know.

Thanks,


GRCCENTRI (talk) 17:30, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Instead of looking at third party sources you need to look at WP:RS. Which of these sources is reliable? If you are not sure, ask about an individual source at WP:RSN
Coverage is also important. It must be significant. A passing mention is insufficient.
It must also be about the org.
I'm asking you to investigator these areas because I do not believe in spoon feeding you, but I will analyse on of your references at random for you to show you what I look for.
http://www.fiercewireless.com/tech/story/centris-optimization-policy-control-technology-early-operator-trials/2013-04-01 is a good piece of coverage. It is significant and I believe it to be independent in that the story is written by the journalist and is not just a reproduced PR piece or Press release. However everything in it from "According to a forthcoming white paper commissioned by Centri and written by regular FierceWireless contributor Mark Lowenstein, products s" onwards is in question because Centri has commissioned some work. That reduces the independence to Borderline for me. I am also unsure whether the outlet passes WP:RS.
What I would like you to do is to be as analytical as I am, and strengthen your referencing as well as adding meat to the article itself. You need to assert in your prose and verify with your referencing the fact that it passes WP:CORP. I cannot do this for you, but I can lead you towards the end goal.

Interswitch

Hi Timtrent, I noted your comments on Interswitch. In addition to the sources used there’s also:

  • A further FT article
  • A Bloomberg article focused exclusively on the company, its partnership with Helios and its expansion into Uganda
  • A Jeune Afrique article on the firm’s newly launched investment fund
  • And for what it’s worth, considering it can be problematic to use interviews in an article like this, the CEO has been interviewed by Forbes Africa and The Banker.
  • There’s also a mention in this Bloomberg article, which says that out of 25 million cards in circulation Nigeria 18 million are Verve (Interswitch-owned payment card).

So for notability we have three FT articles, two Bloomberg articles, Jeune Afrique, Forbes Africa and The Banker.

As for the sources you’re concerned about – Punch, Leadership, Vanguard and This Day are all national newspapers in Nigeria and should pass the test for reliable sources.

So if it’s tone you’re concerned about, we can work on that and if it’s sources, we can work on that too. Let me know how you think we should proceed. Many thanks. HOgilvy (talk) 16:11, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

@HOgilvy: I'm glad you are looking at raising the standard in the article. We always come to look at WP:BURDEN, which means that you as the editor who adds the material have the burden of proving that the facts and the references are suitable. Use the best sources you have available to you. Use the article talk page to explain your choice of referencing, and then, not before, add your !vote to keep to the discussion, referencing the addition of references and the talk page explanation of what you have done.
We have to aim for the stars, or, you do, since this si your client. Your work on 'their' page has to be beyond reproach, so you can;t afford to drop a single ball.
As you are probably aware, deletion discussions are difficult areas to defend in, and work best on facts rather than emotion. We also hold professional editors to a very high standard.

@HOgilvy: Perform the edits with precision on the article itself. Cool and calm precision. Document the reasons on the talk page, and then comment at the deletion discussion.The time limit is 7 days. You have plenty of time.
Even if the article is deleted all is never lost. At that point I would suggest a totally new, excellent, draft in the Draft: namespace, presented for review and then acceptance. Using that process is by far the wisest for a chap in your position. Talk to me at the time that becomes necessary and I will guide you. I suspect it will not be necessary.

I will take it into account.

It bears similarities and it would be quite relevant and descriptive to associate Peryn Island is considered to have played a role similar to that of the Vatican Hill in the development of its place in the medieval city and its later history.

This is not your edit, just I have a question about it. Does it really sound smooth in English? I realize clearly the meaning. But I am looking at that sentence for 2 last days, and I can't get away of my head the idea about the sentence to be too long, with a lack of punctuation, and a little bit dissonant. So what do you think about it?

English is not my first language, you know, so I am imagining those whose level of English worse than mine, and I am more than sure they would hardly perceive the sentence. Since now English is a language for international communication, lexical complicatedness cuts the auditory. Originally, I meant this article to be widely understandable. This is not a super-goal, it s just interesting and may help to contribute in improving my English, at least. --Sterndmitri (talk) 11:42, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

@Sterndmitri: If we take the sentence as a piece of language it is a valid sentence, but it is a complex one. It is hard to understand. My thoughts are that it says this:
"It has similarities to the Vatican Hill. Peryn Island has been a key factor in the development of [whatever the place is], both in medieval times and later"
This is easier to understand, but may not have the same meaning that you want the words to have. My view is simple. In your native language you may use the most complex construction of sentences that you wish. In a second language short sentences that express single idea are best.
Because it is Wikipedia I would not be too concerned. Someone else will edit it in time anyway. Would you like me to flag to for copyediting into even better English? We have folk who love doing that. Fiddle Faddle 12:27, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello Timtrent,

You recently reviewed my article called "Canadian Environmental Bill of Rights" and stated that "While purporting to take a global view, this is an article about Environmental Bill of Rights, a Canadian measure. It should be merged into that article".

I wanted to let you know that I disagree with merging my article with the article called "Environmental Bill of Rights" (EBR)(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_Bill_of_Rights) because this article is referencing a specific piece of legislation - the EBR that was passed in Ontario in 1993. While my article is referencing a completely different piece of legislation, the Canadian Environmental Bill of Rights (Bill C-634). Because of this distinction and after chatting online with experienced editors I have been advised to resubmit the article with the title of "Bill C-634: Canadian Environmental Bill of Rights".

I hope this makes the topic of my article more clear.

Submission declined on 27 April 2015 by Timtrent

Dear Timtrent

Thank you for your advice. I certainly appreciate the time and effort you put forth to consider my article on Peter Drucker’s tagline, “Do what you do best and outsource the rest.”

I would like very much to respectfully discuss your comments and I hope you understand that I am in no way seeking to be argumentative or quarrelsome. Since I am new to this process, I must bow to your commitment and experience to the Wikipedia process. That being said, I thought the best way to proceed would be for me to first give you an idea of how and why I attempted to write this brief article.

It started about seven weeks ago, when I was looking up an old saying for my son, “Do what you do best, and get the best to do the rest.” Then, what I stumbled upon truly surprised me. I found that the quote in a modern context, now reads “Do what you do best, and outsource the rest.” I thought, “Outsource; are you kidding me‽”

Then, while researching who actually said it and why, I was led to Peter Drucker. What surprised me the most, were the unusual adulations that were given to the late Peter Drucker when describing the effect he has had on global business over the past several decades.

Coming from a financial background, I’d heard of Peter Drucker, because if you’re business has anything to do with management, his name would be familiar. In the same fashion, if one loved soccer, the name Pele would be familiar. In fact most soccer fans after having considered his record, would have no difficulty in referring to Pele as having been “legendary.”

Likewise, if one were talking about football, few would have a problem saying that Joe Montana was “legendary.” If one were speaking of baseball, few would have a problem saying that Babe Ruth was “legendary.” I’m sure you see my point. However, the statement that Peter Drucker was “legendary” was not mine.

That was Forbes magazine who made that specific description:

http://www.forbes.com/2010/06/01/vested-outsourcing-microsoft-intel-leadership-managing-kate-vitasek.html

By no means are descriptions such as this isolated. In fact Forbes magazine went one step further when Stephen Forbes himself wrote an article printed by the Wall Street Journal entitled “A Tribute to Peter Drucker” where he stated that Drucker was, “, the most influential management guru of the modern era?

http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB113202508406497251

BusinessWeek when speaking about his contribution to management stated, “And nobody has been more central to the creation of management as a subject worthy of serious attention than famed management guru Peter F. Drucker.

http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/stories/2004-09-07/peter-drucker-mr-dot-management

If I might impose on you to consider one last reference, I believe that the following will succinctly make my point. As you are probably aware, the Harvard Business Review periodically presents what is referred to as a “McKinsey Award” for outstanding and significant accomplishments in the world of business. To carry our sports analogy one step further, the “Heisman Trophy” would be to college football as the “McKinsey Award” is to business. Of importance is the fact that Peter Drucker has won the award seven times the most ever awarded to one person.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Business_Review http://quotes.quotesquiz.com/quote/authors/peter-drucker

Now the question is why did I show you these references? Believe it or not, I like you abhor puffery, because prior to retiring, I too had to work against such tactics in my previous profession. Therefore I submit that my referring to Peter Drucker’s achievements as having been referenced as “legendary” is by no means puffery. In fact the extraordinary adulation that he received over the years is the very reason I wrote the article. I was completely stunned, when I realized to what extent the tagline in question affected global business. (My article was about the tagline, not Peter Drucker)

The gentleman who edited my first submission advised me to focus my article more on the tagline itself rather than Peter Drucker. That is why in the article you critiqued, I merely mentioned Peter Drucker with a brief description. The point to be made is that I have no ax to grind or interests to pursue other than the dissemination of what I thought to be worthy subject matter.

I of course am willing to submit to all qualified critiques and suggestions. I do want to make my submission as encyclopedic as possible. However, I feel is important to understand that the actual descriptions that I used were not my attempts at puffery or bias reporting. Like Pele, Joe Montana, and Babe Ruth, the global business community considers Peter Drucker to be nothing less than “legendary.” To say less of his accomplishments would simply not be accurate.

I can only hope, with everything having been said, that you might reconsider my submission. Perhaps with a fresh pair of eyes on the subject, WP:PEACOCK WP:WEASEL would no longer seem relevant. I look forward to your continued help and editing.

Thank you for your kind consideration

Hbazarte Hbazarte (talk) 18:21, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

@Hbazarte: I see we are discussing Draft:Do what you do best and outsource the rest. I'm not sure what it is that you want me to say. There are many people in business I don't care for, Drucker included, and all motivational gurus without exception. I find them to be leeches and parasites. Any fool can say what they have said, but they had the trick of publicity. But that doesn't influence my review of the article as an article. One of your references attributes the exhortation to Tom Peters, by the way.
So, if the exhortation is, of itself, notable, it is the exhortation that must be reported in the article, and only from the perspective of collating what is said about it in terms of significant coverage, and independent of it or, I suggest its promoters, and in WP:RS. We can include nothing else. Those are the rules.
Words like legendary are difficult for Wikipedia. A legendary man only exists in legend. Such words are superlatives, and peacockery. Drucker was a real management consultant.
So, were I to write the article, I would start with the references, and list with precision what they say. I would set out a timeline, and look at placing the referenced elements on that timeline, but uncommented upon. The article would be neutral and not draw any conclusions, which yours does. WP:OR and WP:SYNTH are not allowed.
Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. I'd love to have been able to accept this one. I;d love the next reviewer to be able to accept it. Fiddle Faddle 19:11, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Dear Timtrent,

Thank you so much for your prompt review of my message. Although I completely disagree with your assessment of Drucker as a “motivational guru,” that certainly is not the issue at hand. We all have room for our own opinions and I now clearly see that we cannot express them inside of a Wikipedia article. So then, to your advice: I say point taken! I think your suggestions were sound and I will do my best to apply them. I will work to quote only from reliable sources by Wikipedia’s definition. Over the days ahead, I will make the necessary changes as you advised.

This is certainly turning out to be a beneficial learning experience. Again, thank you for your consideration.


Hbazarte Hbazarte (talk) 20:57, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

@Hbazarte: I had not realised I had been ambiguous, my apologies. I see, now, that it was possible to read my words to suggest Drucker was a motivational guru. That was not my intention nor my desired meaning.
With regard to the article, Wikipedia is extremely simple to edit, but not in the least but easy, as you are discovering.
If I can give advice worth a penny, it is this: "Avoid all opinions and conclusions and report only verified facts"

Draft:Limo Anywhere

Hi Timtrent:

The referenced sources are third-party trade publications who posted articles which are independent in nature. There is not a single reference to a press release or to company-sourced material. While it would be great if larger, more notable publications could be sourced, that is simply not possible. Further, the statements made in the post are basic facts - the products and services provided, the name of the founder, the website, and the headquarters location. All basic facts, all easily checked. Further, as the company in question is the leading technology provider in one of the most rapidly changing industries in the world (ground transportation), I might argue that the presence of the company on Wikipedia is quite valuable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gentrymc (talk • contribs) 21:11, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it." Further down, the guideline states that "Arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations or their products." I have provided significant coverage of an undisputed industry leader in not one but two independent, reliable, third-party sources as stated in the guideline. On what basis does this fail?
@Gentrymc: Your answer is on the draft, where I have analysed your putative references. You have more research to do. I will not review this item again anyway. You have other reviewers to convince, convincing me is worthless Fiddle Faddle 21:37, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
By the way, Gentrymc, using Wikipedia to promote your own corporation is a very silly thing to attempt. Your bluster made me check the org out after I analysed the alleged references.

Hi Timtrent, Really sorry for that, it was not my intention to offend anyone. I tried to replace the whole part with my own words. Can you have a look now and let me know about your thoughts? Thanks a lot for your time! Best Regards, Tony (talk 13:33, 7 May 2015 (UTC+2)

@Antpetsas: One of the first things we try to check is copyvio stuff, so it surprises me that they missed it. It isn't a rule exactly. It is protecting Wikipedia from legal action by the copyright owner that is vital. WP:COPYRIGHTS tells you more than you want to know.
I would have handled that section another way, as it says in my note, and I recommend it to you. It will create a better article. But this is your draft, and I can only advise.

I have two quick issues TimTrent. I want to know how to run the process (bot?) that does auto citations, or in other words references multiple citations of the same exact source to a single reference number rather than sucessive numbers.

Two, I am looking for user PHRSE, is there a way to search for a user in order to talk with him? Thanks!!!

Previous request was from dcw2003

@Dcw2003: Not hard, I'm pleased to say. First reFill:
I have it in my tools in the left hand menu. It arrived one day, so I imagine you have it too. I run it this way:
  1. click options
  2. when they load, and sometimes they refuse, untick the option for not adding access date
  3. Click run, or fix page
  4. WAIT
  5. Eventually, when it finishes, follow the prompts and be amazed.
Not sure? Create a sandbox and try it out
Ok, now that user. I tried the searches and failed. So we track them down by working out where you have seen them before. If that fails you deploy {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask the question.

06:08:51, 8 May 2015 review of submission by Juamari


Juamari (talk) 06:08, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Dear Reviewer--

I am asking for clarification on the comments provided. The topic of the article itself is well referenced by several university press books and established academic articles. While the topic is focused on the Latino LGBT community, it is also of interest to other LGBT groups, AIDS historians; public health professionals. The primary objection seems to be with the People's section. The people section is included because this organization was the launching pad for several important academics, artists and activists, some of which have wikipedia pages, and some of which do not. I am interested in editing further and want advise on what would strengthen the article-- should I secure more references for the individuals cited in the People's section, or simply delete that, even though I think it provides important linages, or list fewer names with more established reputations? Please advise, I think this is a worth contribution that merit inclusion.

06:08, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

@Juamari: I would drop the People section entirely. Notability is never inherited. And I would seek online links to the other references if available. And please do not let it linger for 6 months. Fiddle Faddle 08:18, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Request on 14:52:27, 8 May 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Steve Last


Dear Jim

Thank you for reviewing my article, which I have to admit was submitted more in hope than expectation that a first version would be acceptable! I hope to be able to resubmit a shorter version on lines which you will find are more in accordance with Wiki principles. I would however like your advice about one aspect of meeting that requirement. While you may have detected that I do have a personal view on the subject, I appreciate the need for verifiability and objectivity etc. in Wikipedia.

My problem is that the basic issue is one with significant public safety aspects. For a number of reasons I won't bore you with it may start to generate significant attention, but a large amount of the basic research on the subject has been in danger of getting lost. Consequently I have spent a lot of the last year tracking down old papers, many of which are not in a particularly useful format, being either poor photocopies, or simply images of old documents, which are hard to read as well as impossible to search.

A lot of these I have re-scanned, OCR'd, and proofed, while being very careful not to edit any text other than for spelling etc. I've then republished them as PDFs, which are available on a website dedicated to this subject. Everything done from online sources is clearly in the public domain since I found it just by searching; the originals of all paper sources are in my possession.

So you can see that it is important to me that readers are definitely able to verify statements made on this subject, as I do not want to just quote from sources but make them available in their entirety, far more easily than they are at present. However, these new PDFs can only be accessed from my own site.

So before I spend a lot of time rewriting the article, my questions are whether

(1) the conversion of original sources into a more accessible format counts as "Original research" ?

(2) does the fact that anyone wanting to access these more usable versions will have to go to via my own website invalidate them as reliable references for wikipedia purposes? Obviously they should still be available on their original site as well.

You can see the site at www.picma.org.uk where one of the main menu items is actually "available documents". The lists are incomplete as I still have several hundred to annotate for relevance.

Regards Steve Last

Steve Last (talk) 14:52, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

@Steve Last: The thing is, Wikipedia handles only matters reported on in WP:RS because it's an encyclopaedia. Your thoughts are more for Flight magazine. What I suggest you do is to ask this question in a very condensed manner at the Teahouse Questions Forum and get a wider set of opinions by doing so.
With regard to old papers, etc, provided you have chapter and verse, they are fine, but note what we need as a reference: We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. So, if they comply with that, fine. If they are internal airline reports then they are of no use. Fiddle Faddle 15:01, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

02:27:03, 5 May 2015 review of submission by Librariegrrl


I added a bunch more References. I didn't format them perfectly (that's why I didn't "re-submit" yet) because I wanted to check with you first to see if I gave enough info to correct my initial error. It seems obvious that if Bastille (band) is notable because of winning awards and charting, then each member of the four-piece deserves individual recognition as well. I didn't know how to elaborate on Chris Wood's contributions without repeating everything in the Bastille (band) main article or the Bas Blood (Bastille album) article.

I really would like your help because if I can get this right, then I can add an article about Kyle Simmons (the 4th Bastille member). For some reason, the article on Will Farquarson was approved. I basically used that article as the basis of my Chris Wood article, but it was still rejected. This makes me think that you should review the Will Farquarson article also so that I understand why he wasn't A7'd and Woody was.

Librariegrrl (talk) 02:27, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

@Librariegrrl: There is a little tool in the eft hand margin, reFill. I used it to format the references. I turned OGG the option for access dates, which we do the first time around. Try that . I only reviewed the draft as if he were a living person. Musicians have to pass WP:MUSIC, a standard I never quite seem to get right, so I can't tell you if he passes that one. I do know that a band member has to be pretty special to get a named article, and that they are usually redirected to the band itself. Fiddle Faddle 08:04, 5 May 2015 (UTC)


@Timtrent: Thank you for explaining about why Woody (band member) wouldn't get his own article. I only thought that he should since William "Will" Farquarson who is no more notable as he is also "merely" a band member of Bastille *did* get an article. I see that the correct answer is *not* that Woody and Kyle should *also* get articles like Will. It's that I need to ask them to take down Will's article based on A7 "notability" for WP:MUSIC. The correct course of action is to roll info and details about individual band members of Bastille into the Bastille (band) main article until one of them becomes more "notable" (like, Bono or something). (note: I have no issue with Dan Smith - lead singer and founder of Bastille having his own article because he is truly special, but Will is no different than Woody or Kyle.). So, *new question*: how do I ask that Will Farquarson be taken down and add Will Farquarson, Chris "woody" wood and Kyle Simmons to wikipedia to "redirect" to Bastille (band)? thanks bunches for all the help Librariegrrl (talk) 03:47, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
@Librariegrrl: Take the following steps, in order.
  1. OnTalk:Will Farquarson start a new section explaining what you believe needs to happen along the lines of "Since Fred is not really notable in his own right, I will be merging the relevant material into the band's article. To allow for objections I will wait a couple of days before I do this." Use your own words and name the band article proper, linking to it
  2. After the period has elapsed, merge the relevant details, saying in your edit summary what you are doing
  3. On completion of the merge, there is no need to ask for the member to be deleted. Instead you turn it into a redirect to the band article by replacing 100% of the text in it (This included any categories, etc) with #REDIRECT[[Insert non-formatted text here]] where the non formatted text is the name of the target article.
  4. State on the band member's talk page that the material is now merged and that you have turned the page into a redirect
We use redirects in these circumstances because the person's name is a valid reader entry point. Indeed, it is valid to create redirects for every band member of a significant band to point to the band's article. My view is that every good Wikipedia editor should do this.
The important thing with an existing article that you are turning into a redirect, unless you are the only editor, is to seek consensus first, hence the message on the talk page. If you are the only editor, WP:BOLD applies. Note, though, that you may not go against a consensus. So, if folk object to your original message, and the arguments against outweigh the arguments for, leave it as it stands. Fiddle Faddle 07:47, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
@Timtrent:Thanks so much. I will follow the steps that you outlined. Hopefully I will have time this weekend. Thanks again for your help. Librariegrrl (talk) 22:27, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

12:38:08, 7 May 2015 review of submission by Fuddyb88


Hey. I need a re-review on the previous draft because Architect Reza Kabul is one of India's prominent architects especially in the high-rise and hospitality sector.

The idea of having his work online is not as advertisement. I am working on the changes that you have suggested. I shall resubmit my draft after finding more references and citations.

However, I do have a question in mind : a page with far less references and citation is allowed : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafeez_Contractor

Therefore I would want to understand whether the advertisement looking format was the only reason for denial?

Hi Timtrent,

Thanks for looking at my article. I've removed the inline links and I would like to draw your attention to the three links to CTV, Macleans and the Globe and Mail. These are three major Canadian news sources. The articles themselves speak of David's teaching and reference the Pro Actor's Lab itself. I think that this is notability.
