Proposed deletion of Global Risk Management
The article Global Risk Management has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable company, Google news search finds no relevant coverage fails WP:COMPANY
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RP459 (talk) 16:28, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
- Reply: Hello RP459. I've removed the notice, having (in my opinion) improved the article by adding more notes and sources to underline the notability of the company. I'm still working on the page, and adding more sources as time allows.
I can understand why the notability question arose, having conducted a Google News search myself. It did throw up a lot of results for this company, but almost all of the content was hidden on subscription-based industry websites, such as Bunkerworld. A general Google web search is somewhat more revealing, although the generic nature of the company's name requires a lot of sifting.
On reflection, I ought to have collected a larger number of English language sources before composing the page, rather than the other way around (as I later learned in the "Create a page" guidelines). There are many more Danish language sources I have at hand, but I think to have added more of them would have been counterproductive, from a usability point of view. Better left for a Danish language version.
Well, I'm a beginner at this. Next time I'll know. I'd really appreciate any further observations, tips and/or feedback on this page if you have any. Thanks. Dkeditor (talk) 19:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
................
To quote wikipedia itself, "neutrality trumps popularity." As mentioned previously, the Google News search fails to reveal a lot of trade media sources that are subscription-based (particularly common in the maritime business). A regular Google web search reveals a number of these in regards to the company in question. Google News search also omits non-English language news items about this company -- which is, after all, based in Denmark.
"Raw "hit" (search result) count is a very crude measure of importance. Some unimportant subjects have many "hits", some notable ones have few or none..." from [the Search Engline Test page]
In order to establish notability. I've therefore continued to add more "Notes" to the page, which now include verifiable sources such as Denmark's national news agency, several national newspapers, and non-subscription trade media websites in English and Danish. I've chosen a spread of dates, from 2006 to today (Bunker Index is one of several daily online bunker sites that carry Global Risk Management oil price assessments. Unfortunately, the others are subscription based).
A word about the Danish sources: A number of the sources I've included are articles by national newspapers using Global Risk Management for quotes and analysis on shifts in the oil price. I think that adds even more weight to the notability of the company. If in doubt, perhaps it might be useful to call in a Scandinavian editor to verify the notability of the Danish sources.
I'm a newcomer to this, so could somebody give me feedback to this reply i.e. is it posted in the right place, and in the right manner.
Thanks. Dkeditor (talk) 10:59, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
I noticed this edit [2] and thought that I should point out WP:CONFLICT#Financial, while there is no express policy against paid editing, there are certain things to watch out for if you are indeed paid editing... RP459 (talk) 17:12, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Reply: Thanks RP459 for the heads up on that. I am aware of Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest -- including the financial aspect of it. Any editing I do on Wikipedia is completely voluntary and, I hope my peers will agree, written from a neutral point of view. If subjectivity has crept into an edit of mine, please let's discuss. Thanks.Dkeditor (talk) 12:24, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Nothing to discuss, I just noticed the edit and wanted to point it out... Thanks for the reply. RP459 (talk) 13:31, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:GlobalLogo 300x100.gif)
Thanks for uploading File:GlobalLogo 300x100.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 03:06, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Copy-edit
Hey,
I was wondering if you could copy edit Darius I of Persia which I recently rewrote from scratch. I am wondering if you could copy edit the article for further improvement. Thanks, warrior4321 17:26, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Hey! I saw you as a member on the Guild of Copy-Editors and am wondering if you could help me out with an article I am working on, the Nobel Prize. A quite important article since, many link to it etc. I think the content is starting to get good but it really needs some copy-editing which I apparently isn't suited for. Do you have any chance to help out?--Esuzu 18:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Esuzu (talk • contribs)
Copyedit Backlog Elimination Drive
Hi, as a member of the Guild of Copy Editors you're hereby notified of and invited to participate in the WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/May 2010.

Grab some glory, and a barnstar
Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 14:41, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up
| Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!

GOCE copy edit drive
|
Greetings, the Wikipedia Guild of Copy-Editors invites you to participate in the November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive will begin on 1 November at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on 30 November at 23:59 (UTC). The goal for this drive is to reduce the backlog by 10% (approximately 500 articles). We hope to focus our efforts on the oldest three months (January, February, and March 2009) and the newest three months (September, October, and November 2010) of articles in the queue.
Sign-up has already begun at the November drive page, and will be open throughout the drive. If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a message on the drive's talk page. Before you begin copy-editing, please carefully read the instructions on the main drive page. Please make sure that you know how to copy-edit, and be familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Awards and barnstars A range of barnstars will be awarded to active participants, some of which are exclusive to GOCE drives. More information on awards can be found on the main drive page. Thank you; we look forward to meeting you on the drive! |
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!
