Hi AG you recently reviewed my article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/UNSW_Institute_of_Languages I'm a new contributor to Wikipedia and am hoping you can give me some tips on what sort of sources I should have. The sources I've listed for this article are very similar to those on another published page, Taylors College, which I used as a model to help build my reference lists. You've noted that I need third party sources, but there is some verification there from the Australian GO8 universities, as well as a range of third-party sources external to UNSW and UNSW Global. Hoping you can help me to understand what sort of sources are required and how my sources are different to those on pages that have already been published like the Taylors College page. Any advice/info you have for me would be greatly appreciated. Claire thompson01 (talk) 05:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia. Your article needs third-party sources, meaning that the sources should be independent from the subject itself (i.e: Not affiliated with the UNSW Institute of Languages). It is alright to leave the sources already there but third-party sources should be there to establish notability. You can maybe use the links you have provided in the External links section as those qualify as third party sources. If you have any more questions, do not hesitate to ask. :) Also, read WP:VRS and WP:IS to help you to identify third party sources.--Hallows AG (talk) 06:42, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey AG - thanks a lot for this, really helpful. I'll check out the recommended readings and I think your suggestion about using the external links as sources could be a good one. Will look into it! Thanks again Claire Claire thompson01 (talk) 06:07, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving

Hi,

I've set up this page for auto-archiving, as discussed.

Normally, I prefer to explain how to do stuff, but in the case of archive set-up, it's easier to just do it for you. The voodoo to make it work is here; the bot should come along within about a day and kick things off. Note the archive box at the top which, currently, will say "no archives yet (create)" - don't create anything, just let the bot do its thing.

It's set to 14 days (14d), you might want to change that. Note that it won't archive very small threads or things with no sigs in (ie no date) - you can cut those yourself and paste 'em into the archive page if you want.

So - that's about it; no action required, just let the bot do its thing, and - if I've done it correctly - all should be well. If it goes wrong, of course, give me a shout. Cheers!  Chzz  ►  04:59, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article submission Sound Healing

Hi Hallows AG, Thanks for reviewing my submission http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Sound_Healing; you've asked me to provide "more inline citations to support some claims made in the article" - please could you clarify which specific claims require more citations? Many thanks Mashenka--Mashenka (talk) 21:23, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your very helpful comments Hallows AG :-) I will add the extra citations as you suggest and will re-submit Mashenka (talk) 12:58, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A little guidance...

Hello, you recently reviewed my first article submission: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Creative_Circle

Thank you for taking the time to look at it. It would be incredibly helpful to me if you could point out which sections you think need more inline citations, so I can focus my research.

All the best, CopyBeard (talk) 09:08, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Need more information

Hallows AG, what aspects of the Swype Shield article made you feel that it was too much of an advertisement? I tried to make it as neutral as possible, and used the Airborne (dietary supplement), Purell, and Emergen C articles as reference when creating the Swype Shield article.

IATAC

Hello, you rejected my article for approval as you said I need more references in my article to support claims. However, I believe that all of the references I listed are a significant/satisfactory # of references and suffice to support any claim made in the article. If you adamantly disagree, could you please give me an example of where I would need to put in more references to get this article approved? I really believe that this article is acceptable as-is.

Thanks. JKopf (talk) 13:48, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page Review/Suggestions

Hello Hallows AG,

I am working on getting my first wiki page approved! In your notes, you stated that I need to provide third party references for the site Colt International. I did provide an overview from Business Week. Are you looking for me to just reference additional sites such as this? Would Manta and links to aviation magazines/publications be sufficient? Finally, how many do I need to cite in order to be credible? Thank you for your help and guidance.

Hallows AG,

I have updated the submission. Please let me know if there is anything additional that I need to. Your guidance was very helpful!

Ephippium

Hello. You commented that I need to give reliable sources. I thought I had: the last line of text. Is it just a formatting problem? It is my first attempt at a Wikipedia article and I'm struggling to understand all the house style and jargon.

The other page with the heading Ephippium is about orchids, a completely different subject.

Articles for creation/Robert Devane; User talk:Shannow66

Hi Hallows, Can you provide a little more detail on the items that require more inline citations?

Some of the items under Martial Arts Tournaments / Various achievements are difficult to link to on the internet. Many of the organisations that operate these tournaments do not keep online records of past winners that are easily accessible.

If the inline citations are required for the Charity work referenced, I would be happy to remove this item from the article until I can get a citation from each of the charitable organisations listed which can be added at a later date.

Thanks for reviewing and I look forward to reciving additional guidance around this submission.

Merkle Inc. Article

Hi Hallows AG -

I use wikipedia all the time, however it's my first time creating an article for it. You sited that my article read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Can you help me? Everything I listed is factual, I even took out "peacock terms" and now I'm struggling to understand where it reads like an advertisement. I've looked at other company wiki articles similar to Merkle and modeled my article after them, so if you could please help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much!
