00:50:14, 10 April 2017 review of submission by Danielcasciato

- User talk:Fred Oesch (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I do not understand exactly why my sources are not verifiable enough. The sources I have are from independent publications, both from the architect's hometown and a couple trade journals. The articles are not self-promotional in nature. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.

Daniel Casciato (talk) 00:50, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Danielcasciato. Trade journals have a limited audience, and sometimes a too-cozy relationship with the people and industries they cover, so reviewers are apt not to count them when evaluating notability. NBC29.com makes only passing mention of Oesch, so it doesn't help establish notability.

On the plus side, Reciprocal Frame Architecture is a good source, as are the C-Ville Weekly and its magazines, and American News Service. You may find that less is more. Eliminate weak sources to make the better ones stand out. Use the better sources to support as much as they can. External links are not allowed in the body of the article. Turn them into references, move them to an External links section at the bottom, or get rid of them. Find sources to support the "Environmental design philosophy" section or eliminate it.

Aim for no more than 3-4 professions in the lead, and make clear what he's notable for. Is he a notable lecturer? A notable artist?

Claiming that photos spanning 40 years of his projects and of Oesch himself are all your "own work" is difficult to swallow unless you have a very close connection to Oesch. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:41, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Any help I can get on proving noteability would be appreciated so I can get this accepted. Thank you! FedderSL (talk) 09:21, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - For more information on notability I would refer you to Wikipedia:Prof. The "Criteria" subsection may be of particular use to you. Isingness (talk) 16:04, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Marcello Aliprandi (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi, the article I've submitted is a translation from an Italian wiki article about Marcello Aliprandi: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcello_Aliprandi and i did not know how to flag the article. It is not a machine translation; but it still needs to be reviewed. thank you. BV0001 15:34, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

@Stefanianj: Hello, Stefanianj. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Our apologies for the delay in response. I haven't formed any opinion as to whether Aliprandi meets Wikipedia's notion of encyclopedic notability, but I'll be happy to "flag" the article as a translation and to do some basic copy editing (essentially, the article should be written in 'past tense', not 'present tense'). I'll do that later today and then leave it for another reviewer to decide on the merits of the article. NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:17, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NewYorkActuary: Thank You so much. Stefanianj 10:57, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NewYorkActuary: Hi, I've made some changes and added a few references. it is a real challenge since Aliprandi passed away in 1997 so many articles that were written about him and his work are not available online. However I think that the wiki-article is now much better. I look forward to your response. And Again Thank you for your assistance.Stefanianj 11:30, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NewYorkActuary: Me again, I've found 3 really good solid book references. The books are available on google books. Below I Placed the link on the page that reference to aliprandi. While I placed the references in the article I did not know how to add the link to the page in the book to make it easier for people to check the references.

again thanks for your assistance. Stefanianj 12:19, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Stefanianj: I've moved your list of links over to the Talk page of the draft. I'll leave some comments there later today. NewYorkActuary (talk) 11:17, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
