Sorry I couldn't help on IRC earlier, but looking at the code, the infobox picture code has a couple of errors.

The code as it currently stands needs to be changed from image = File:Endeavour_House,_home_of_Suffolk_County_Council_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1305044.jpg. to image = Endeavour_House,_home_of_Suffolk_County_Council_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1305044.jpg

Most (but not all) infoboxes don't need the File: at the start of the image name, image files used to be named Image:xyz.jpg but this was changed a few years ago to the current File:xyz.jpg scheme, but in order to not break infoboxes then (and in the future), they were all changed to not need either Image: or File: at the start of the file name. There's also a trailing period/full stop after jpg which upsets the infobox and stops the image from displaying. There's 25 million or so images, videos, music files and other documents, so unfortunately it's necessary to be completely accurate with names, full stops and even capitalisation and file extension, hopefully as the site gets more advanced, these sorts of errors will be more easily flagged up and made easier to rectify.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ipswich Town Hall (England), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Grade 2 and King John.

Speedy deletion nomination of Marriott Downtown at City Creek Hotel

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Marriott Downtown at City Creek Hotel, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Privileges

Hi, having read and (sort of) answered your question at the Teahouse, I'm wondering if you might be thinking that experienced editors get things that facilitates making articles or something. If that is the case there are things that almost any editor can use to make the editing simpler, those are called scripts. Have you ever heard of those? They are small additions that gives you extra tools for editing or for detecting errors in texts. You don't need to be a tech-wiz to install or use them and new users usually add them one at the time to get to know them before moving on to the next. If you are interested in this, just give me a ping. Best, w.carter-Talk 22:14, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to butt in, but since I was watching this talk page for the moment... ProveIt and HotCat (set them on Special:Preferences) are two really helpful ones for editing. I wouldn't be without them. And while you're there, setting "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" is good (nobody tells you when you're new that a couple of years down the line, when you look at becoming an Admin, people get really upset about your percentage of edits without edit summaries). Bazj (talk) 22:37, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good "butting in" and good sugestions Bazj.

Thanks for adding them! Cheers, w.carter-Talk 22:40, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Apache Flink (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello Wrightie99, thanks for your review. I was woundering how I can improve the article about Apache Flink further. The first reviewer told me, that the new references I added should be enough; you disagree obviously. There are many blog post about the system that might be used. However, I am not sure if those source are considered reliable and independent (from a Wikipedia point of view). Apacha Flink is mainly developed by a start-up company called "dataArtisans" and their blog is full of articles of course: http://data-artisans.com/blog.html

There are also a few other blog post from Apache Flink commiters on various web site. Many of them a "guest posts". I am not sure if those can be considert "independent third party" or not?

Additionally, many slides from talks about Apache Flink are availalbe online at slideshare.net. Could those be used? (http://www.slideshare.net/search/slideshow?searchfrom=header&q=apache+flink&ud=any&ft=all&lang=**&sort=)

I could also referecne a bunch of research papers published at international conference about the original "Stratosphere" research project. As Flink originates from Stratophere, those could be valid references, too. (From my point of view.)

It would be awesome, if you could provide some hints, what sources I suggested you condider good, in order to improve the article's notability. Thanks in advance! :) 141.20.27.42 (talk) 14:56, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and thanks for the question. Regarding the article Apache Flink I think some small edits will allow for the article to be accepted in no time. Firstly blogs are not usually allowed as they are not reliable because anyone can start one and write anything. Try and find out where they got the information. Blogs can sometimes be allowed as a reference if the person who wrote the blog is 'notable'. I found a reference concerning the subject, http://www.infoworld.com/article/2919602/hadoop/flink-hadoops-new-contender-for-mapreduce-spark.html. Finally you have appeared to reference the title above the info box, this is not needed. Also make sure to reference the opening paragraphs above the contents section. hope this helps Wrightie99 (talk) 16:00, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note I forgot to answer your quetion about the slide shows. They can 'ONLY' be used if you prove the creator in notable and reliable. I have never seen a slide show used as a reference but if you can prove the reliability, I'm sure it will be accepted. Finally research papers are valid if they are from a notable subject, just make sure you reference them in the correct format.

file upload

Just to note that I have uploaded c:File:The_AXA_building_(geograph_2689453).jpg from [1], as you were trying to do in the help channel. Mdann52 (talk) 18:38, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Hello, apparently there's a tool to quickly import images from Geograph.co.uk to the Wikimedia Commons: Geograph-to-Commons. User:Mdann52 used that to upload the image you asked about on IRC; it's now at File:The AXA building (geograph 2689453).jpg. Huon (talk) 18:39, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
