[edit]Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chris Baldwin - Theatre Director and Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Teatro de Creación
[edit]Hello
I am new to Wikipedia and am unsure if my articles Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chris Baldwin - Theatre Director and Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Teatro de Creación are in the list to be reviewed?
Thank you
Silvestri

- yes they are, you had actually submitted them multiple times. I have cleaned it up to make it clearer that they are in the queue. - Happysailor (Talk) 09:25, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
For https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Treasure_Television_Series, please see 40 seconds into the video where Bill Burrud announces the name of the series, "Treasure" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9KSAh9jEEU. The series in fact did exist as listed on producer Bill Burrud's IMDb.com page at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0123310/ Tikihouse (talk) 09:13, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- It may exist, but that is not why the submission was declined. You need to provide reliable, third party sources that prove the show is notable enough to have a wikipedia article. Youtube clips does not show this. - Happysailor (Talk) 09:27, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lyndhurst Hall, Warden Road, Kentish Town, London
[edit]Hi,
I am trying to import a photograph into this draft article - I have uploaded a photograph in the commons section (title Lyndhurst Hall before demolition 2005) but when I copy the link into this article it is locked. I have removed the link from the article for now whilst I get your advice on how I can do this.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Christine

- You need to use the
[[File:]]tag. I have added your picture to your submission and it should now be visible. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:41, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
How to include image in articleJayshukla2006 (talk) 14:06, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- That depends on the image's copyright. If you took the image yourself and are willing to release it under a free license so that everybody can re-use and modify it for any purpose, including commercial purposes, you can upload the image to the Wikimedia Commons via their Upload Wizard. If the image isn't freely licensed, it likely will not be acceptable to Wikipedia.
- Once it's uploaded, the picture tutorial explains how to add the image to an article. Huon (talk) 00:29, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
Madam/Sir:
On June 18, 2013, I submitted a new article entitled "Collision-induced emission and absorption" to Wikipedia's website and had no response thus far. I resubmitted once more the identical article today, thinking that I may have done something wrong previously and hope to receive some echo soon, perhaps an acknowledgement of receipt, an acception or rejection notice, or just something indicating you have looked, or you will look at it. The article is a brief scientific review of a relatively new science, collision-induced emission and absorption spectra, which is rigorous and much needed, especially for modern astrophysics and physical chemistry in particular. You may find it difficult to name a suitable referee, because the science is still somewhat esoteric and it was widely ignored previously, but there can be no doubt about the strictly scientific approach presented. Suitable referees would be, for example, Didier Saumon, an astrophysicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, one of the expert users of collision-induced absorption (CIA) spectra in astrophysics. Most of the pioneers of CIA are no more, but famous students of the Harry Welsh group of the University of Toronto - where CIA was discovered in 1949 - are still around. I mention as a famous example Bob McKellar, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa; many others could also be named if requested.
Almost a quarter year is past since my first submission. Could someone, please, tell me if the article was received and will be properly considered? As to my qualification of writing the article, I mention that I am the sole author of the only existing monograph on Collision-induced Absorption in Gases, Cambridge University Press, 1993 and 2006. I published more than hundred scientific articles on the subject matter. The proposed article is a serious attempt to introduce an increasing number of young scientists to CIA. Personally, I used wikipedia articles to learn much about modern astrophysics over the years, where important applications of CIA are emerging. I think my article will fit in nicely with what I have seen in wikipedia.
Sincerely, Lothar Frommhold Prof.em., Physics, University of Texas

- Your submission is in the queue for review. However at first glance I see a number of problems in terms of style, referencing, etc. I've asked for some assistance from WikiProject Physics to get the draft into shape for "publication". Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:36, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- First of all, thanks for writing this article and sorry about the wait. AfC is an imperfect process; some articles get reviewed quickly, others in technical areas in which few reviewers feel competent seem to sit in the queue a long time. Your excellent qualifications are certainly not the problem here. I see that Maschen has already cleaned up almost all of the LaTeX problems and the article is in pretty good shape now. I've added a a short introduction (called a lead in Wikipedia jargon) that introduces the subject. Please check it for accuracy--I am no expert in this field. While the article could be improved--it needs more wiki links and I wager that an illustration or two would help explain the concepts--the article is in good shape and well referenced. I'd say that it is ready for mainspace. --Mark viking (talk) 20:45, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- I left a note on Prof. Frommhold's page about my editing. To update, the refs are now moved inline, although some LaTeX may remain in them, we still need to distill volume numbers, issue numbers, series, publishers, journals, locations, years, authors/editors... Other bits of clean up are still needed.
- Apologies the draft may be messed up, but the citation templates are for consistent formatting of refs throughout the article and make it clear for editors to see what's what. Please let me know if I ruined anything!
- I agree it could be moved to mainspace by now. There are refs. As Mark viking says it needs more links but this is easy, although probably best left to the author who knows exactly where they should point. Anything that needs rewriting can be rewritten in mainspace without problem. M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 21:46, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
What do you do about a reviewer who ignores you? And a reviewer who says that you have not adequately evidence the subject's notability, but whose own pages are the most trivial, piddling subjects imaginable, such as each separate air national guard unit in New England? how do you communicate with someone like that. Well I couldn't since he never answered my questions about what I needed to do. Armando Menocal — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.167.4.154 (talk) 20:12, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- I can't find any evidence that you tried to contact the reviewer of that draft on their talk page, and I have to agree that the sources are insufficient. Several are press releases by the association. I don't think there's a single reliable source among them that's independent of the association. We need such sources to establish that the association is notable enough for an article. Huon (talk) 00:29, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
