I do not remove personal attacks directed at me from this page. If you spot any, please do not remove them, even if vile, as they speak more against the attacker than against me.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/international design awards

Strictly speaking, in-line citations are only requires under certain circumstances. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:32, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Strictly speaking you may be right. Let's make a better Wikipedia. I have never been strict, just dogmatic. Fiddle Faddle 21:42, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Dane Elkins

I'm writing to you, as you created the Talk page for the Dane Elkins article, which came to my attention because someone's linked to it on the Ektelon article page, as Elkins is apparently an Ektelon sponsored player. The thing to me is that I don't think that Elkins deserves an article, as he's just a kid who's not accomplished much yet. He's not even made the US Junior Team yet, so I just don't think this is someone who's notable. But this could be a harsh judgment, so I don't want to delete the article or start that process without consulting someone. What do you think? --Trb333 (talk) 18:22, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

@Trb333: I honestly have no problem if you wish to start a deletion discussion. I sometimes am too generous when accepting articles, but do it on the basis that there is no problem that cannot be cleaned up later. We have a huge backlog of WP:AFC and I admit to working very fast on the backlog, so will make the occasional error. We'd love more help at AfC,you sound as though you have a good eye.Please come and join us. And do not be afraid to propose this for deletion, or to make mistakes if you care to come and play. WIth this one I;d suggest AfD since it seems more polite than CSD. PROD is also a decent route. After reflection why not choose PROD; that way, of the originator cares, it will be contested, and they at least get to feel good. Thanks for dropping by. It made my day,truly. You care.

Submitted article "Yung-Ping Chen"

Is this where I can dialog with Timtrent about a rejected submission, so I can get a better idea of how to fix it? Kpearlman1122 (talk) 10:38, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

@Kpearlman1122: welcome. Before you ask me questions, please check I haven't covered the answers in User:Timtrent/A good article. I'm not saying this to put you off, just to save you time. Ask me whatever you like. I may be able to give you a good answer. When you ask me a question please LINK to the current location of the draft article. Fiddle Faddle 11:47, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Will do; thanks. Is this the correct mode for dialogue (going into Editing User Talk within my section)? Kpearlman1122 (talk) 00:18, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

100% perfect. Looking forward to chatting with you. WHen we talk please remember, mine is but one opinion, and I may not be correct Fiddle Faddle 06:56, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Thaddeus Rutkowski submission

Timtrent - Could you please advise specifically as to what supporting materials are needed to help this bio page get published? I've been cutting things out and streamlining so much, so not sure. Randihoffman (talk) 12:47, 14 May 2014 (UTC)Randi Hoffman

Please link to it. I have been accepting and declining many articles. It will be a pleasure to try to help you. A start is to read User:Timtrent/A good article to see if any of that is already helpful for you. Fiddle Faddle 12:50, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Articles for creation/Henrik Valeur

Hello Timtrent, In the article which states that Ar. Henrik Valeur did not receive payment, it also mentions that he has been working with Chandigarh College of Architecture. In the article from Times of India, Ar. Henrik Valeur has been covered as a the person who has proposed a new master plan for Chandigarh. I was using these articles to refer to the particular points as mentioned in the article. Sorry, if my editing is not effective; I am returning to WP editing after quite a length of time and therefore I am not familiar with the new requirements. I will improve the article further with whatever sources I can find. Scalebelow (talk) 13:01, 14 May 2014 (UTC) Scalebelow

Do not take anything personally, naturally. My thoughts on referencing can be quite draconian. I always aim for perfection and often miss it myself. The gentleman may have done this, that, and the other. But what has to be seen is not just material saying so, but informed commentary from others about it. Fiddle Faddle 13:03, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Nothing taken personally here, just my lack of editing knowledge. I am currently working on the page. Thank you for your reply, it clarifies certain points for me.Scalebelow (talk) 13:21, 14 May 2014 (UTC)Scalebelow

There is no rush at all. Take it slowly and enjoy yourself. Fiddle Faddle 13:22, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
