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)
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)
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)
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)

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!!!!

Timtrent............
Once again sorry to cause extra work!!!!!!! I guess you cant just redirect stub George Fried to
Captain George Fried (wiki article) and delete the existing text of the stub George Fried.
It would be less work for you!!! Sorry I made this error.

TimTrent, (fiddle Faddle)
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.

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? There's only so much that I link to in order to re-confirm the information that is listed in the article? Please help.

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?

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!

As since 2-3 days some one irritating me onWhats app indirect messages that me or some one close to me who has created userid: @Bhartendunatyaakademi is responsible to remove him from wikipedia. I didn't want to hurt him, wanted to tell him that If you are genuine and has done good work, No one can remove you from Wiki.

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.
I went on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bhartendunatyaakademi#Talkback, thinking to ask please dont write about me that you have already done a damage. 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.

Dear User:Timtrent
I am answering to your nice message from last week: [1]
You raised several problems: 1. Conflict of interest → Thank you for suggesting the possibility to get an editor to proofread the articles. 2. Because EurActivCM gave the impression not to link to only one person → I have created a new username User:MaximEurActivCM I am the only Community Manager (CM) at EurActiv then would this username be OK?
((Help me)) ¿Is there somewhere a tutorial that shows how to create an article on Wikipedia? Something like "Wikipedia for dummies". If this exists, that would be very helpful so that I can create an article that will not be deleted in the future.

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

Hello once again! You advised me to correct the article, so can you help me and do you will to do it? I've got several questions. --Sterndmitri (talk) 10:54, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
@Sterndmitri: okay I will. But my question was about the article Peryn: I think I've got several matters to get an advice about. So can you help me, and do you want to? This is ok to give a negative answer, whatever the reason is. --Sterndmitri (talk) 11:05, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
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)

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.

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:
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

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.

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)
Upon reading about auto confirmed users, I visited this page page. Did I do any damage to my profile, there my username is red linked and at this page it is ok.--Vin09 (talk) 04:25, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
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)

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!!!

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.

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.

Apologies, new at this - could yu expand the WP:RS and WP:42 references so I can find them please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve Last (talk • contribs) 16:02, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
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.

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?
Appreciate your patience.

Hi,
Would you please help me? I do not understand what is the problem with my article. I have provided important sources like India Today, Times of India or Bloomberg (I do not know where my Bloomberg link has gone).
Greetings,

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.

Tim TRENT I have another problem.
I created article Abie Bain, and accidentally made a change to the draft page from whence I copied all the text to the actual article ABIE BAIN.
THERE IS NOT DIFFERENCE AT THIS TIME BETWEEN THE TWO ARTICLES REQUIRING A MERGE>
However, I am not allowed, apparently to perform this function. A merge is not really necessary, but could you take care of it or have someone else do it??????
Thanks , I'd be glad to do it but I think it requires an administrator.
From dcw2003............Sorry, i did not leave my user name in the previous note.
Hey Timtrent,
I shall definitely get started on that refund. In the meanwhile, I request you to please give my draft a re-read, as I have made the necessary changes: 1. restricted his work to selected projects that have been given recognition | 2. Mentioned under 'In the media' where people have spoken / reviewed his works.
Thanks. Fuddyb88 (talk) 04:16, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
Thank you. I have read your comment and shall start drafting an article which is more concise with references for all facts. Appreciate you doing the re-review. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuddyb88 (talk • contribs) 04:01, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
