Q on reference source language

07:53:55, 14 November 2017 review of submission by FriendlyB


Dear Thereodislong,

thank you for reviewing the draft "Dr. Petry Textile Auxiliaries".

For the sources, I cited independent sources, such as - http://www.genios.de/fachzeitschriften/artikel/MTB/20080617/umweltschutz-und-nachhaltigkeit-in-/060817061.html - https://www.biooekonomie-bw.de/de/fachbeitrag/aktuell/insektenchitin-macht-textilherstellung-nachhaltiger/

In order to have more evidence, I added information from further independent sources and references: - https://www.bloomberg.com/profiles/companies/6311207Z:GR-textilchemie-dr-petry-gmbh - https://www.bluesign.com/industry/chemical-suppliers/references/textilchemie-dr-petry

Thank you in advance for re-reviewing.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your assistance with Draft:InnoCare. I have included

and noted it on your user page that I work for that company. They're not paying me to create this page, I just think it would cool to have a Wikipedia page. Let me know if there's anything else you can suggest to improve my draft. I appreciate your help!

I've added the appropriate citations!

Page "Franck Dubarry"

Hi, I'm creating my first page on wikipedia.

After creating the first draft, i got a declined submission with the comment: Comment: Please avoid flowery turns of phrase and mission statements. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 13:36, 23 November 2017 (UTC) So I changed the way I wrote my sentences and I deleted the "mission statement" paragraph. Why did you declined my page ?

Thanks for the help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1203:ECB5:9620:4971:99BA:63C5:B70E (talk) 08:47, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Terms like “Within less than 10 years at the helm” and “The result is a visual complication” and “The latest creation unveiled by the watch designer” and “bringing the original fusion concept to High-End Watchmaking” are not how we describe things on Wikipedia we just need the dry facts in a neutral tone supported by independent sources. Theroadislong (talk) 09:52, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thank you very much for your help. I made the changes ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1203:ECB5:9620:4971:99BA:63C5:B70E (talk) 11:35, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Franck Dubarry announced a last world premiere" ??? "going further into innovative and technical crafting" ??? "the most successful team in the history of Polo" ??? "a dial complication with 12 spheres" ???"Franck Dubarry brings Magnetism, watchmakers’ nightmare, into a patented mechanical module." ??? None of this makes sense the article needs re-writing in plain English. Theroadislong (talk) 12:28, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

13:13:19, 25 November 2017 review of submission by Linrong86



Hi, you declined Invacio, it has been created in the style of others, also references through out, including links to the source of information, what is the issue here?

The decline reasons are at the top of the page...Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. The article you have written is entirely promotional in nature. Theroadislong (talk) 13:42, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suran Goonatilake

Hi Theroadislong - thanks for taking a look at the page for Suran Goonatilake.

I just wanted to check that you had seen my note in the talk page, and the references I left there? I see you said a citation is needed for the exec producer role on Scenes of a Sexual Nature - I had included two in my list (one the British Film Council, as I know there are mixed views on IMDB given it's editable).

There were also a couple of sections you deleted citing that they were unreferenced (re the Centres for Scientific / Fashion Enterprise), which I had proposed references for. I know you also mentioned 'puffery' on the fashion enterprise one, but I wanted to check this as that centre is still active and quite large - was it the wording that was puffery, or the inclusion of these facts themselves? If adequate citations were available, do you think they would warrant re-inclusion, whether as sections or even just a line in the top section such as, 'From 2000 to 2005 Goonatilake was a director of the Centre for Scientific Enterprise, a joint venture between UCL and London Business School. He also co-founded the Centre for Fashion Enterprise, a fashion business incubator based in London.'?

Would appreciate your thoughts, thanks. Stephkatep (talk) 00:48, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 14:23:16, 26 November 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by Ernstlx


Hi, I'm not sure if the article is declined because of poor referencing or because the artist isn't notable at all? Elli Ingram is not an international star and I only know her by chance (because of music videos made by a notable director). But her music is played on BBC (where I've found interviews too, but no features). I've found a feature on The Guardian, but it's a silly article comparing her to Adele, so I skipped it. (And I've forgotten to mention my article that one of the videos by Emil Nava was nominated for Best Pop Video at the UK Music Video Awards)

Best wishes Ernstlx (talk) 14:23, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If I look at it now, I must concede that there are not many secondary sources. Is an article on the record label's web site a secondary source?

If you tend to say it's poorly referenced, I'll try to improve it. Otherwise I leave it.

Ernstlx (talk) 14:23, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you could find some more independent sources, reviews etc (not her record label) then that would help, Youtube doesn't help with notability either I'm afraid. Theroadislong (talk) 14:27, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Leonid Berlyand

Dear administrator, Thanks for reviewing! Can you tell me, in which direction should I amend/improve/correct the article? I really used all the sources I know. I wrote before a few articles about scientists, and they were all based on their publications. If you look at the site of the Penn State and browse his page including his cv, you will find all the information. What exactly seems unreliable? And were exactly are excessive and inappropriate external links? Thank you for helping.--Asimsky (talk) 22:37, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am not an administrator I am just an editor like you. The sources you have included do not demonstrate that the subject meets our guidelines for notability. Normally, this is done by showing that the individual has received sustained in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources. His own publications do not establish his notability. Theroadislong (talk) 22:48, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have provided a link to prove that he was awarded a title of an honorary professor of the Moscow State University. Is it not an evidence of recognition? Do you think this is not enough or you think that this fact is not supported by sufficient evidence? I just re-read the notability criteria for academics, and they clearly state than an academic is notable if he/she "... has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." He did receive a prestigious award on international level; it is given to Nobel Prize winners ... are you still not convinced?--Asimsky (talk) 06:52, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please have another look at the article? I have added a number of independent sources of evidence to support notability: (a) editorship in journals (b) press-release (c) publications of other people confirming importance of his contribution (d) a post at the site of Univ. of Moscow to confirm honorary professorship (with photos of the event) (e) some more evidence from the PSU site not from his CV. Please see details in the Talk page of the article. Maybe you can consider removing or softening the tags? Thank you. --Asimsky (talk) 06:38, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me know what else you think is required to have it accepted?

Hi Theroadislong -

I agreed with your feedback and since added additional 3rd party sources that are verifiable and independent sources. Now, there are 15 sources.

Can you take another look and either approve or let me know why you would disapprove again?

Triton Showers

I have declined this CSD A7 nomination.

Dear reviewer,

Could you please be a bit more specific as to why the sources used are not reliable (please, note that I have read the guidelines so I'm not asking for a recap of these regulations but rather a more specific clarification of your reasoning).

Youtube and blog posts are not considered reliable sources and your username would indicate that you are here to promote them. Theroadislong (talk) 11:51, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:VisualBash Submission declined on 20 November 2017 by Theroadislong

Greetings,

I developed VisualBash kind of as a lark.

The problem is that this method of organizing code seems to help me get things done. While this is not noteworthy in itself, it may be a guidepost to help others.

I am re-submitting this article in full faith of it's "future notability". I am very likely wrong and this is not notable at all. My working definition of "notability" seems to have more to do with what the cool kids were doing in high school... As the developer of this framework, my great concern is that despite my own successful use of this framework it may just be "simply too simple".

On the topic of "notability": 1. As the developer of the VisualBash framework, I do not plan to use it for profit. 2. I am not trying to "sell" visual bash, I am trying to document it. 3. Again, my great concern is that this is "simply too simple".

I would appreciate anyones guidance on this.

Regards,

Flintiii A voice in the wilderness Barre, Vermont December 2017

Please note that there is no article in Wikipedia on the topic "Sign your posts on talk pages:". Thus I am ignoring it.

Hello dear editor.

I write a simple article for Renuar Locaj as Fashion and Beauty photographer based in Albania. For reference I send some links refer his work.

But there are hundred of his published work in local printed magazine and international one, he usually photographs for Albanian VIP and Fashion and beauty portrait .

15:12:16, 4 December 2017 review of submission by Mikausch


I do not agree in the estimations on the weak reliability of the sources of the article on Vincotech. Here are the main sources:

1. "Electronics World" ist one of the leading British technical magazines in electronics and RF engineering. There ist a Wikipedia article about: Electronic World 2. "channel e Magazin für Elektronik" is the leading German online magazine on electronics: http://www.channel-e.de 3. The next source is an official announcement of Siemens, one of the biggest companies on electronics, on Vincotech: http://www.dgap.de/dgap/News/adhoc/ad-hocservice-siemens-deutschenglisch/?newsID=7740 4. The Tyco Announcement on Vincotech was published in http://www.all-electronics.de, the online Portal of the leading central european publishing house for publications in electronics markets. It is part of Süddeutscher Verlag, which has already an article in the english Wikipedia: Süddeutscher Verlag 5. The accouncement of "The Gores Group" was directly published bei The Gores Group: http://www.gores.com/wp-content/themes/gores2/news/news_pr_20110105.pdf. The Gores Group has also an article in Wikipedia.

All these sources are independend and reliable. And Vincotech today is one of the global leaders in its market (with about 140 mio € revenues). The "Electronics World" (see above) about Vincotech: "Vincotech ... resolutely moved up the ladder to become a market leader."

COI Editing Question

Hello - I received a message from you yesterday outlining COI issues on Westminster College (Missouri). I was unaware of the rule about COI editing. If I add a disclosure to my user page, can the edits I submitted be reinstated, either in part or in full? The content was informational, and while I understand that I may be unduly influenced by my relationship with the institution, the edits I made did bring the entry up to date on several points (especially the list of College presidents and updates to the athletics and academics sections).

If the edits cannot be restored, I will request independent editing, as outlined in your message.

Thank you. Anna Comfort (talk) 17:01, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When you have a conflict of interest you can request edits on the talk page of the article and an uninvolved editor can assess the merits and add or decline them accordingly. Theroadislong (talk) 17:03, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seasons Greetings

Greetings Theroadislong,

For all I know you might be an AI.

A souped up "Eliza" [[1]] anyway, I really want to understand the concept of "Notability", what pleases me the most is how it breaks down so nicely into "Not ability". I just want this done. Hell, even github puts up with us!

Kindest Regards,

Your comments are rather cryptic but your draft has 4 references two are to your own website, one is a blog with an message, the other is to Github, which says "VisualBash is a modest and seriously tongue-in-cheek bash programmiung framework." none of these even begin to establish notability I'm afraid. Theroadislong (talk) 00:21, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Description verses promotion.

Greetings Theroadislong,

I want to quote this back to you, wish I knew the special characters to put your quote in a pretty box:

"I'm afraid that Wikipedia is not the place to promote your software. We only summarize what reliable, independent published sources have to say about a subject."

I am not at all interested in promotion. I am interested in validation of the Visual Bash concept. Any idea how to help me get into programming structure?

Regards,

Paul Flintiii (talk) 16:52, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not at all clear what you are asking... "validation of the Visual Bash concept"? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent say about a subject. You would need to provide detailed references showing the subject has received significant coverage, in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. You also have a conflict of interest.

Dear Theroadislong

Hope you are fine and doing good.

I am requesting for a review again as the major comment for rejection/decline of this article was its Reference section or having less references. Now, the draft has been updated, and more than 20 solid references have been employed, with more historical details, and best possible bibliographic support in the light of the available literature. This single page article is now having over 25 appropriate references, and are strengthened with new data.

Your anticipation in this regard will be highly appreciated.

The objected references (facebook blogs) were updated with new ones, thank you very much for the prompt response and suggestion

Dear Theroadislong

Thank you very much for your prompt response.

The objected references (facebook) has been udpated with the departmental URLS (links to the webpages). I think, these were the most up to dated and regularly updating references. Moreover, the last paragraph was deleted, because the book describing the paragraph and the mentioned material is in press (which is written by Dr. Ikram), and once the book got published, the three to four lines paragraph will be inserted again.

I do hope, that the draft will get approved now and will get online, as after coming across other such articles, this one seems to be far better than those.

Your prompt and positive anticipation in this regard will be highly appreciated.

I'm very confused as to what you mean by making the first few sentences of the page tell us how she is "notable". That is all the information that we found on her on the internet. I'm concerned because we're doing this page for a school project. She is notable for helping pioneer the role of women in petroleum geology. As well having been an active member of AAPG (American Association of Petroleum Geologists) for 56 years.

You are not as confused as you think, because you managed to do what was required, the draft now just needs to use inline references so that each fact is supported by a source, you can read WP:REFB for help with that, I have copy edited the content a little and it could do with some links to other wikipedia articles, but it's nearly there.

Here's a video of him on Getty Images walking the red carpet to Rise Of The Footsoldier film this year.

I missed reference part in new page created. I create this page for Mr Mohammad Ebrahimi, He is a Iranian DJ and music producer and worked since 1998 and her Podcast series name is DeepBox, but because his genres its not in official news online, but it have Thousands of audiences.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes what independent say about a subject. You would need to provide detailed references showing the subject has received significant coverage, in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. Theroadislong (talk) 11:07, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FYI re Draft:TonyShang and Draft:Gualtiero Galmanini

Before you waste your time reviewing either one, see this SPI. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 10:21, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear Shot Youtube Source

Just to let you know, this is the official Particle Studios channel, which are the original developers. I added them in the developers. Any patch notes or information I can find by the developers is very vague.

Hi there - do you review the resubmission for my Buck Mason wiki page? I'm surprised how quickly my previous drafts were denied but how long this has taken for review. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerldmrk1 (talk • contribs) 23:53, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jenny Brekhus

Theroadislong,

I respectfully disagree with your decision to reject my article on notability grounds once again. Another editor rejected it based on insufficient citations which means that they felt like they could not reject it based on insufficient notability, once I had taken steps to show the subject's notability.

If you wish for me to put more effort into proving the notability of Reno city council member Jenny Brekhus, I will do so. She is a long-serving and prominent member of the Reno city council. Reno is a large and growing city and the largest city in Nevada outside Clark County.Politically speaking, Reno is the largest city in both Northern Nevada and Washoe County, and Washoe is a swing county, in a key swing state. Councilmember Brekhus made national headlines this summer by publicly calling for President Trump to not come to Reno. I would rather see it that wikipedia approve her article without needing to out her as a fierce critic of the President in a politically volatile place like Reno. However, if wikipedia continues to refuse to publish the article, I will make her Trump criticism part of the article and add several more citations.

If you feel that Councilmember Brekhus is not notable enough to have a wikipedia page, I would Staunchly disagree with you. Her fellow council member David Bobzien has a wikipedia article. The Mayor of Reno, who is a member of the council, has a wikipedia article and was recently profiled by Politico as one of America's most interesting mayors. Reno is a notable city with a notable council, and Jenny Brekhus is a notable member of that council. I would strongly encourage you to reconsider your rejection of this article on notability grounds.

If you read my comment on the decline I say that "a number of the external links could be used as sources instead which would help with notability" The sources you have used do NOT establish notability they are not independent. The fact that other poor articles exist is not a good reason to create another sorry. Theroadislong (talk) 08:54, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Sfsofnv: The article on David Bobzien is VERY poor quality, it has only four references none of which mention him and it should probably be deleted.Theroadislong (talk) 20:50, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Theroadislong, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
  • Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!

Outreach and Invitations:

  • If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: {{subst:NPR invite}}. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive

  • A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
  • Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update:

  • ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
  • The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
  • To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. — TonyBallioni (talk) 20:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC) [reply]

Article you reviewed

Hi,

You reviewed an article I posted and raised a few questions about sources.

I have now provided some independent sources that are not written by the journalist that refer to him and to his work.

Would that be sufficient?

Dear Theroadislong

As per your suggestion, some up to date and concrete references have been inserted to the text, the readability has been improved. Therefore, I seek your guidance in this regard as well as requesting for its re-review.

Thanking you in anticipation

Sincerely yours

the tone is still inappropriate, I'll let another reviewer have a look. Theroadislong (talk) 09:29, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

how to make it right?

Hi,

thank you for your feedback on the page i'm trying to make (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:MyMachine) As I'm trying to get it right, what is/are the phrase(s) that makes it read differently than for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teach_For_All

thank you for clarifying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Captain Woolf (talk • contribs) 16:45, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that both the articles your draft and the Teach For All article are both written like adverts, I have tagged that one now. Articles need to be written in a neutral tone refereing to independent sources. Sentences like "Through the choice of not incorporating a substantive framework nor a competition element into the model, MyMachine stimulates the empowerment of all students involved who are invited to be entrepreneurial in bringing the ideas to life is not encyclopaedic but pure marketing speak, we just need the dry facts. Theroadislong (talk) 16:51, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback. Working on it now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Captain Woolf (talk • contribs) 17:56, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale for Rejecting Gilson (Company) page?

Theroadislong,

Earlier today, you rejected the draft I wrote for Gilson Inc., saying that it reads too much like an advertisement.

I am wondering if you could give me examples of what specific areas read too much like an advertisement, so I can fix those problem areas and resubmit?

When I wrote the draft, I kept Wikipedia's guidelines regarding neutrality in mind. I modeled the page very closely after Eppendorf's, which does not have any flags indicating problems with the page. My intention was not to write an advertisement for Gilson, but to share the story of a company that developed and manufacturers a research tool that is used by virtually every laboratory scientist in the world who works with liquids.

Any guidance on how to revise this page to meet Wikipedia's guidelines would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Ben — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cglife.bmarcus (talk • contribs) 20:31, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article is mostly sourced from their own website, Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject have published about it in reliable places. If you could find more independent references it would be an improvement. Theroadislong (talk) 20:44, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've seen the message you left on my draft page. Don't worry, the work is still in progress. We are working on the sections in these days. Thank you :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martina.straffi99 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
