About the declined article : Andrew Kramer
Please look at Artical I fixed the problem I think I have full use I am a soon to be student going to the school thanks God Bless --Amanda.useta (talk) 22:43, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
Hmm can u tell what the hell do the Wikipedia required to get an * article Soloking.303 (talk) 13:50, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
- See WP:BIO, WP:FILMMAKER and WP:GNG. You need to show that your producer is notable by providing secondary sources such as news articles. Also, does not need a filmography table of yes/no's unless he has had a diverse set of roles within production. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:48, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
Mel Heifetz article.
Dear AngusWOOF,
Re: the Mel Heifetz article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mel_Heifetz). You declined the article, understandably, when there was only one sentence written.
Now, Heifetz's activism and life story have been detailed and cited with articles from the Philadelphia Inquirer, TheHill.com, and other sources.
Please kindly re-review the article. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EditingandWriting (talk • contribs) 17:06, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
- EditingandWriting, can you rewrite the article so it is more of a biography? It should go into his early life, then his career and advocacy, then a section on the awards and recognition. There should also be years as to when he did certain activities. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:24, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- EditingandWriting, also there doesn't need to be one sentence per paragraph. If there's not much to say about him, just combine it to a single paragraph or two for now. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:25, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Dear AngusWOOF, : AngusWOOF,
Thank you for all of your help and guidance. I have incorporated all of your feedback and I'm confident that the Mel Heifetz article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mel_Heifetz) deserves a re-review. Thank you very much.

Draft of NL5 Circuit Simulator
Dear AngusWOOF, Thank you for reviewing draft of NL5 Circuit Simulator so quick. I am working on suggestions. However, I am a little bit confused: I looked at wiki pages of similar software packages (PLECS, PSIM), and in my opinion they are missing almost everything you are suggesting to me. Unfortunately I cannot review all their references, since the articles they refer to are not freely available. However, just looking at authors of some references, you can see that these are "materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed", which is not allowed. Did I misunderstand something in your suggestions? Best regards, Alexei. A smi sim (talk) 22:39, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- Alexei, the main thing is to provide secondary sources independent of the subject so that the subject meets notability. WP:GNG Some primary material (from program or website) is allowed, but it shouldn't be mostly that. PSIM seems to reference a lot of independent papers that show extensive use by researchers. References are not required to be freely available, but it helps if there's a reference that has maybe a freely-available abstract to read or sample that the reader knows the reference is going to go into depth on the subject matter. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:35, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
Thanks, AngusWOOF, I understand your point, will do my best. Just to note, since your used PSIM as an example, out of 12 PSIM references 6 are not available online, 3 are Powersim company website, 1 has a simple link to PSIM [6] (I can provide tens of those), one is broken [8], and only one [9] is a real good one. Thank you, Alexei.A smi sim (talk) 02:12, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
Submitting new revision. Still, I don't have comparison with other simulators, just because nobody (except myself) ever did it, and not likely anybody would do it in the nearest future. It's a "personal" tool, and users who are happy with it do not care much about sharing information. If it is still necessary, will think what else could be done. Thanks, Alexei A smi sim (talk) 06:15, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
Help in making the article acceptable
Dear Editor,
The article link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jaan_Nissar_Lone . Can you help me format and make this article acceptable as this subject qualifies as per point 12 of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music) shown how this person meets Music bio Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles as there is an interview on DD Kashmir which is a national/ State run News Channel, the link to this is provided in citation no.3 . The other citations also do qualify the article, please let me know on the required changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TavadiaP (talk • contribs) 11:26, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- There are too many references to primary sourced music vendors. They should be trimmed down and combined to just music video and one vendor listing. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:53, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- TavadiaP, per WP:MUSICBIO, "To meet Wikipedia's standards for verifiability and notability, the article in question must actually document that the criterion is true." so the article should include the details about the films and songs he participated in and that can be backed up by the provided sources. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:14, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
The article is provided with sufficient references and all unnecessary have been trimmed down. References have been provided for all statements. Requesting you to provide your valuable feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TavadiaP (talk • contribs) 14:32, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
Request on 16:48:59, 14 January 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Enriquegonzalez2019
Dear Angus WOOF,
I am the owner of the contents of the topic I have created unde the name "Retesting HIV".
My name is Mario Enrique Molina Gonzalez.
As you will see in the foot of the paper you have found, I own the full rights of the article.
Best regards,
Mario
Enriquegonzalez2019 (talk) 16:48, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Enriquegonzalez2019, it's still a copy paste of the article as published in the journal. You'd have to do a major rewrite to turn it into some kind of Wikipedia article, and then it would have to be cited by mostly secondary sources independent of the subject. Please also see WP:RS and WP:COI. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:31, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Article Jazz Egger
Hello. The term "rebellion" can be exchanged with "activism". What other issues did you find? Why are the sources not reliable? (Cosmo, Glamour, ELLE) If it's only about small editing mistakes, it would mean a lot if you would fix it. I've been working on this article for months and can't find the issue with it. Thank you so much for your help and time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fashionmgmt (talk • contribs) 21:28, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

- Yeah, this is a sustained coverage problem. Starting a transient hashtag is basically the web version of WP:BLP1E, we need more coverage. Also, I strongly advise Fashionmgmt to read WP:COI, as the username implies a management or recruitment company is writing this for the subject. SITH (talk) 21:43, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
Impact Profile rejection
Hello, I hope you're well, thanks for your feedback and reasons for declining the draft:Impact Profile article for submission. I was wondering if you could offer advice on style and if there are any guidelines on what makes a site appear unreliable. All of my links were external sources. Any help you can offer would be great, thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RimaPOD2018 (talk • contribs) 09:43, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
- RimaPOD2018, for the style, it shouldn't have bullet lists of mission statement verbiage. That makes it look like a copy of the website. As for sources, it needs ones that are not just from the immediate event (Oxford, All Events, own website). You need ones independent of the subject, like other newspapers that wouldn't normally cover it but because Jude Law was there, they would cover it. As for what's reliable, there's reliable sources WP:RS and general notability guide WP:GNG and not advertising WP:NOTADVERTISING AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:12, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Aloha! New user here, I was instructed to move draft page into main space by user. I need more additional info from you on this. Also Kalani Pe'a first line edits - what does peacock stuff mean? Kalani has many links if that is something needed for this. I think your edit is ok the only thing is the draft page. You flagged the page for someone to move and merge pages but don't leave any additional info. Can you also send the instrutions or tag a admin that you have worked with prior? I appreciate your help! Allanbcool (talk) 01:33, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Allanbcool, the histmerge is for one of the admins to implement, so you don't need to worry about that. It's because the draft copy was worked on and then you copied it directly to the mainspace without letting it go through the AFC review, so it is merely trying to get to combine the edit histories of the draft and the current version into one page. As for peacock stuff, the article's lead was opening with "award-winning" verbiage so I was trying to remove that, to keep the tone neutral. See WP:PEACOCK AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:23, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
Yes, if you check my talk page I was asking around then was instructed to do the copy and paste. Then I found out about the AFC move after. By then it was too late the page was already copied into the main space. What do I do now to erase the Draft:Kalani Pe'a page? The opening line is ok thanks for doing that edit. Allanbcool (talk) 07:41, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- The history merge has been performed HERE so all the edits are now on the main page. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:15, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Allanbcool, is there a way you can rewrite the career section? You can walk through his albums and singles and then whatever tours and major concerts he performed during those years.

RugGear rejection
Hi there,
Thanks for the comments on RugGear draft page - I was wondering if you could be more specific on which bits have an advertising slant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.110.214.13 (talk) 20:36, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- 31.110.214.13, any of the corporate buzzword verbiage that promotes the company should be rewritten. For example: "The company has leveraged this previous industry experience to design and manufacture its own range of Rugged devices." What does this mean in layperson's terms? Also "has expanded its geographical footprint" Why not rewrite "has expanded operations". Also see WP:PEACOCK, WP:SOLUTION, and WP:NPOV. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:43, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
Declined article about Ariadne Getty Foundation
Hello Angus. I am writing concerning the recently submitted and declined article about the Ariadne Getty Foundation. I'm wondering if you can further illuminate why the article "does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own" and/or doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability standards. The article, while concise, is not extraordinarily short and it describes the major milestones of its subject. It includes citations to a number of major independent media organizations, including the San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times As for notability, the foundation has been in continual operation for 14 years and most recently awarded a $15 million grant to a prominent non-profit civil rights organization. So my question is, why is this subject not notable and what needs to be done to make the article worthy of a place on Wikipedia? Thank you.

List of films with high frame rates
Hi AngusWOOF. Your rejection of my submission Draft:List of films with high frame rates includes this statement: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." My impression of your review is that you saw an article created by an IP editor, with a link to a YouTube video and to an article at Forbes, and that this made you think the article is not properly sourced. I suggest you give the article another look. You will see not only references to Variety, TechRadar, The Hollywood Reporter (4x), Deadline Hollywood (2x), and the National Film Board of Canada; you will also see that the YouTube video, used for the claim in the lead, is a TWiT Netcast Network interview with TV historian Mark Schubin. (An informational video, by the way. Check it out.) The § Films section even includes this comment: "<!-- Please ONLY include entries with reliable sources (in the Ref. column). -->" That is how important inline citations are to me; I take pride in always using them. As for notability, see the discussion here. --77.173.90.33 (talk) 21:27, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- 77.173.90.33, are any of those citations showing that a list is being made of all HFR fillms? Those only cite that a particular film is verified to be HFR and will justify that it can be on the list, but what I'm looking for is whether lists of HFR films are being put together by news articles or film websites that aren't IMDb user-generated. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:14, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- It appears that your reasoning is: notability not established -> information not available -> information cannot be verified. I believe you're mistaken, and you should have used just "nn" (reason2) and not "v". The latter creates a block
which is about verifying information. There's a reason it points to WP:REFB and WP:CS. This does not apply to my submission. With "nn" it already requests "additional references" to establish "significant coverage" and notability. --77.173.90.33 (talk) 22:52, 16 January 2019 (UTC)This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources.

About the decline of the page for Vader Episode I: Shards of the Past
What should I remove or add from this article? (I’m new to making Wikipedia articles by the way, so that’s probably why I failed enough for the page to get declined.)
- Stinkyjaden (talk) 22:41, 16 January 2019 (UTC)Stinkyjaden
- Stinkyjaden, you need some film reviews and coverage from major news sources independent of the production. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:43, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- OK! Thanks for telling me. I’ll get right on that!
- - Stinkyjaden (talk), 16 January 2019 (UTC)Stinkyjaden
- OK! Thanks for telling me. I’ll get right on that!
- Stinkyjaden, has the film been entered into film festivals? Has it won any major awards? That it is released on YouTube isn't anything special as there are millions of people who post to YouTube. Please read WP:NFILM for more criteria that would show the film is notable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:50, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- It didn’t get to any film festivals I believe, or win any awards (not yet anyways). It has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from internet media outlets though (Gizmodo, GeekTyrant, Cinema Blend, etc.). Is that enough for Vader Ep. I to warrant it’s own page?
- - Stinkyjaden (talk), 16 January 2019 (UTC)Stinkyjaden
- Are those notable film reviewers? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:03, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Only one of those sources is notable. ―Susmuffin Talk 23:11, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- I wouldn’t call them Roger Ebert or Gene Shalit. I do have something else to add. Star Wars Theory, the guy who created the short, says he’s been invited to various conventions and comic-cons (which I’m assuming involves Vader Episode I). YouTube Link to the video. He says it near the end at time stamp 1:57. I don’t think that’ll be good enough though, so I’ll try to keep digging up more things.

Hi Silvervox325, regarding the paid subscription news articles, you can add subscription=y in the citation to indicate that the article is behind a paywall. Per WP:PAYWALL, those are still acceptable as references. If part of the paid material such as the title of the article or an opening summary/paragraph is accessible, you can add the link to it and that would help tell the editor whether it's going to have significant coverage of the company.

Draft: Template CoS Song of the Year
Hello,
I've noticed that you've declined my template and explained the reasons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Template:ConsequenceOfSoundSong). I think I might have made a confusion with it's title. Actually, it was supposed to be ConsequenceOfSound's Single of the Year, like we have for Pitchfork and Rolling Stone. This is a critic poll award like these other publications have (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:PitchforkSong).

Ariadne Getty Foundation article
Hello Angus. I am writing respectfully (again) concerning the recently submitted and declined article about the Ariadne Getty Foundation. I'm wondering if you can further illuminate why the article "does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own" and/or doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability standards. The article, while concise, is not extraordinarily short and it describes the major milestones of its subject. It includes citations to a number of major independent media organizations, including the San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times As for notability, the foundation has been in continual operation for 14 years and most recently awarded a $15 million grant to a prominent non-profit civil rights organization. So my question is, why is this subject not notable and what needs to be done to make the article worthy of a place on Wikipedia? Thank you.Lena Coleman (talk) 21:47, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- Please highlight which articles meet WP:GNG and WP:ORGCRIT. A lot of the articles mention Getty herself and the foundation in passing. You can also resubmit the article, maybe another editor will see things differently. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:57, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
- Lena Coleman, it's not that it's not notable. It's more whether it has notability independent from Getty herself. As it stands, it would be better as a section within Getty's article to explain the foundation. See Arthur Ashe where his Foundation is part of the main article. If she's highly active in the Foundation, then she's not really independent of it. If it's running itself and has other decisions independent of Getty's input, it's more likely to be separate. The news articles provided so far have her heavily involved. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:40, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Answer to comments: S-7000.A Real Property Tax Law in New York State
Hi AngusWOOF,
> Comment: Is this supported to cover S7000 or S7000A or both? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:50, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
There is only S.7000-A. I'm not sure what you are referring to in your question. That is the name that given to the set of property tax laws that affect the majority of people in New York State
> Comment: This is missing the general context of why Wikipedia should care about a specific state's property tax law. Compare to Prop 13 and how that has had impact that has been analyzed nationally. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 20:48, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
I will add more about the connection to Proposition 13. There is a national connection which is shown in articles such as https://www.nytimes.com/1978/07/09/archives/long-island-opinion-proposition-13s-alternatives.html
Can you help me understand how to improve this article? This article is only the facts and it shows exactly why each individual property is taxed the way it is. This is a big question here because there is wild variation between like properties. This is probably true in other locations/states/nations. This is one of the reasons that it is important for wikipedia. It would help people to understand the tax law with real history and reasons all in one place.
Also I am reading the article about Proposition 13 see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_California_Proposition_13
It seems to have a lot of guessing, is that what I should add to this article to make it more notable/useful. I was trying to stick to only the facts.
For example see the quotes text below from the background section:
- There are several accounts of the origins of Proposition 13. The evidence for or against these accounts varies.
- One explanation is that older Californians with fixed incomes had increasing difficulty paying property taxes, which were rising as a result of California's population growth, increasing housing demand, and inflation. Due to severe inflation during the 1970s, reassessments of residential property increased property taxes so much, that some retired people could no longer afford to remain in homes they had purchased long before. An academic study found support for this explanation, reporting that older voters, homeowners, and voters expecting a tax increase were more likely to vote for Proposition 13.[9]
- Another popular explanation is Proposition 13 drew its impetus from the 1971 and 1976 California Supreme Court rulings in Serrano v. Priest, which somewhat equalized California school funding by redistributing local property taxes from wealthy to poor school districts. According to this explanation, property owners in affluent districts perceived that the taxes they paid were no longer benefiting their local schools, and chose to cap their taxes.
- A basic problem with this explanation is that the Serrano decision and school finance equalization were actually quite popular among California voters.[9] It is true that Californians who voted for Proposition 13 were less likely than other voters to support school finance, but Proposition 13 supporters were not more likely to oppose the Serrano decision, and on average they were typically supportive of both the Serrano decision and of school finance equalization.[9]
- Another explanation that has been offered is that spending by California's government had increased dramatically during the years prior to 1978, and taxpayers sought to limit further growth. The evidence supporting this explanation is limited, as there have been no studies relating Californians' views on the size and role of government to their views on Proposition 13. However, it is true that California's government had grown. Between 1973 and 1977, California state and local government expenditures per $1000 of personal income were 8.2 percent higher than the national norm. From 1949 to 1979, public sector employment in California outstripped employment growth in the private sector. By 1978, 14.7 percent of California's civilian work force were state and local government employees, almost double the proportion of the early 1950s.[10]
- In addition, during the early 1960s, there were several scandals in California involving county assessors.[10][11] These assessors were found rewarding friends and allies with artificially low assessments, with tax bills to match. These scandals led to the passage of AB 80 in 1966, which imposed standards to hold assessments to market value.[12] The return to market value in the wake of AB 80 could easily represent a mid-double-digit percentage increase in assessment for many homeowners. As a result, a large number of California homeowners experienced an immediate and drastic rise in valuation, simultaneous with rising tax rates on that assessed value, only to be told that the taxed monies would be redistributed to distant communities. The ensuing anger started to form into a backlash against property taxes which coalesced around Howard Jarvis, a former newspaperman and appliance manufacturer, turned taxpayer activist in retirement.
Ryozzo (talk) 21:28, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- Ryozzo, the point is whether a specific New York State Property Tax Law is that Wikipedia-notable. There are thousands of laws, but which have impact that someone in an encyclopedia would care about? It's not supposed to be a site map of New York State Laws. I brought up Prop 13 because that one has a lot of national attention and coverage. Does S7000A have something similar? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:49, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you AngusWOOF, but S.7000-A is part of that same movement during the period of high inflation of the 1970's. There are many New York Times articles about S.7000-A and many are cited in the article. It also was a movement that was organized by civic organizations here in Queens and Brooklyn. Are the New York Times articles not enough? Should I merge this into a larger topic? Should I simply abandon it? Let me know, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for your reply.
Ryozzo (talk) 21:58, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- Ryozzo, you don't need a huge background section if it isn't backed up by news articles. It can always be expanded upon later if there is useful background information. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
Current History: S-7000.A Real Property Tax Law in New York State
Hi AngusWOOF,
In addition, there are current history references that document the New York City Council members attempting the sue New York City.
Is this more useful information? Should I add more like this?
See
- Litigation[edit]
- A property tax lawsuit was filed in April 25, 2017 against New York City and New York State by Tax Equity Now New York, a group that includes Jonathan Lippman, the law firm of Latham and Watkins representing homeowners, renters, real estate developers, the N.A.A.C.P., the Citizens Budget Commission and others[20].[21]
- On Sept. 29, 2017 a group of New York City council members filed an amicus curiae brief in support of the Tax Equity Now New York lawsuit and the New York City Mayor argued that the tax case be dismissed — and that the members’ brief should not even be considered by the court.[22] On February 7, 2018 A Manhattan state Supreme Court justice ruled that five Council members, including two from Queens, cannot use a private attorney to file an amicus curiae brief backing the Tax Equity Now New York lawsuit challenging the city’s property tax system. Justice Gerald Lebovits said in a four-page decision that the members must use the city’s corporation counsel, who has already said he will not represent them, when acting in their official capacity.[23]

- Ryozzo the tables of tax rates are excessive detail. You need to summarize the law's components. What are the major aspects of it? You don't need to rewrite the entire law text. There should be a Background and Proposal sections on how it was put together. What Senate or House bill was proposed, and by whom and when? When was the A version passed? What was the property tax law before. Then there should be a Reception section on how it was rolled out, and the reaction by the public. Then a section for amendments and a Legacy for pop culture references and other stuff. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:00, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
- See also Prop 8 and the major sections involved there. Those are mainly to give you an idea how to structure the law part and the reactions as those are highly notable and controversial propositions/laws. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:02, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

King Monada Move
Dear AngusWoof, i am letting you know that i am moving the page Steven Khutso Kgatla into main space. An editor created it but did a terrible job. I then improved it and after doing so, I found there was two drafts of it already which I then nominated for deletion. User:RHaworth then directed my mainspace created version back to draft because of the other versions though there was no edit summary in his move. Also I see in your decline, you stated that there is another draft version as a reasons for the decline. The subject is a highly notable South African singer. I will thus clean it up and move it as well as nominate the other draft for deletion as it looks like some potent badly done article to me. Thank you Loved150 (talk) 05:34, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- Loved150, yes, please clean them up. I think there are enough notable web sites to keep the person in the main area and not have to move it back to drafts. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:28, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
Quick question regarding sources
Hello. I have a quick question with regards to the biographies of any actor/actress in general. On the Ancestry.com website, they have information regarding the birth, marriage and death records. Newspaper archives also have information regarding wedding announcements, etc. With respect to the WP:BLP policy, do the records themselves or newspaper archives count as reliable sources? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 19:23, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- I would cite the actual newspapers themselves and use it as a primary source concerning announcements unless it's secondary coverage of the event. Ancestry.com is not reliable as it is user-generated: WP:RSP AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:26, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- I see. Since Ancestry.com isn't a reliable source, would the index records themselves (i.e. Texas, Birth Index; they're published by the Department of Health Services) count as primary sources for birthdates? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 21:40, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- They're kind of in the WP:DOB privacy realm. See again the RSP article about the detail. If the person tweets "check out my birth certificate at ancestry.com" and gives a link, then it's probably not privacy. I know the California Birth Index is a no-go. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:42, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- Of course, in some cases like the Monica Rial and Mike Pollock articles, the subjects can often confirm their age on the article's talk page or over on Twitter. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 23:11, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
My movie is real.
My movie is a real movie. I made it, it is a genuine 2-hour movie with a trailer and credits. I am not putting it on Wikipedia for personal gain- only to make Wikipedia more complete. However, the film is for sale on DVD and if you would enjoy considering it more of a "real" movie, you can buy it for $10 a copy. I have not sold any as of yet. This is why I have made it free on YouTube. It is not an insignificant project. It is a legitimate movie. Fraction7 (talk) 21:51, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- Fraction7, it needs to meet notability for films WP:NFILM. Please post news source coverage of the film or reviews from critics. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:52, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- Allow me to ask you- if I am not allowed to make my film public, how will any critic know my film is public? This is preposterous. It is circular reasoning, Sir- an infinite loop. Fraction7 (talk) 21:57, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- You can't use Wikipedia to promote your film. Wikipedia is for AFTER your film has been considered to be notable. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:59, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) It never will be considered notable unless it has a Wikipedia article. I do not wish to promote it, only to keep Wikipedia accurate and complete. Since Wikipedia does not have an article on my movie, I have taken it upon myself to produce that article. As you can see, it is a real movie. It is not a hoax. My website and the movie itself are the most reliable sources I can provide. You have an article for NOTDOT on here. It was made by a relative nobody, James Riffel, on a low budget and it consists of nothing more than Night Of The Living Dead with a riff track. It was released to only 500 stores. I bet nobody knows it exists. Why can't my movie be on here? It is a movie. Again, here it is. I suggest you watch it all the way through. Fraction7 (talk) 22:08, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
- My article is not a conflict of interest. It is my movie, but I have written it in a third-person, unbiased format. You are free to make it less biased if you wish. Fraction7 (talk) 22:15, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Myafong (talk) 11:23, 21 January 2019 (UTC)Amanda
- Myafong, of the ones here, which describe Miller's career in detail? Ones that are not mainly Q&A interviews. There's another article that focuses on the Centre over at Demos (UK think tank) so it appears a lot of the articles you listed are pointing to his work as a representative of that organization. Also according to the Centre, he was a co-founder of that group with two others. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:48, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Knowledge Is Power (2017 Video Game)
Hi Angus,
I've edited the draft article for Knowledge Is Power (2017 video game) in line with your feedback - would you be able to have a look at it, with a view to resubmission, please? I also wondered what Wikipedia's take is on video reviews and their reliability. (YouTube, Twitch etc). With regards to validating aspects of gameplay they appear to be a valuable resource. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Knowledge_is_Power_(2017_video_game) Many thanks Clembathon (talk) 14:24, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
- Clembathon, some YouTubers are well known for their video reviews, but if you can find some print/web reviews that are considered reliable from WP:VG/RS that would be better.

Hi AngusWoof,
Thank you for your message. I would just like to know if there is a way that I can create a page for Union of Journalists of the Philippines - University of the Philippines (UJP-UP). As you can see, I also wrote the article that you can see in this link: http://iskwiki.upd.edu.ph/index.php/Union_of_Journalists_of_the_Philippines_UP
I wanted to create a wiki page for the said organization and include the logo in the page. Is there a way that I can do that?

If Union of Journalists of the Philippines is organized across multiple schools, that might be reconsidered. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:04, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Responding to concerns about article creation for No Good (Musician)
Hello AngusWOOF! I wanted to address your concerns before resubmitting the article so that there arent any issues and I can make any fixes necessary in one go rather than iterating on it.
You say that the submission appears to read more like an advertisement but I based this article on the pages of many other musicians that are on wikipedia currently. Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_Faye for instance or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mayer . I think you will find that it reads the same and is not an advertisement at all for the musician.
In addition most of the material covered in the submissions reference show complete coverage of what is mentioned in the article as the text in the article is almost directly quoted from the references. I can change the majority of the text used to direct quotes if this helps you.
You state that there is a Potential COI but I do not personally know this musician at all so i'm hoping that that resolves that conflict for you. I have no employer, client, affiliation with respect to this contribution.
I'm unclear of how else to resolve the conflict so if submitting to you on your talk page is not the correct way to do so I apologize but things have changed a lot since the last article I wrote and this was the closes thing I could find aside of making changes to the article and resubmitting.
Theyrenogood (talk) 20:57, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding on the draft feedback. I will remove the COI tag; it was closely resembling the actual artist username. As for the article itself, it reads like it was from promotional material about the artist's style and approach on albums and singles. That verbiage should either be quoted and referenced or changed so it is more neutral. It also needs more sources that aren't from the website itself. Are there news articles or magazine reviews that cover the artist? Those should be in there to meet WP:MUSICBIO. Has he charted or won any major awards? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:07, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi again AngusWOOF! I definitly want to address your concerns so I may need some help here. I can throw out some suggested verbiage changes and maybe you can tell me if they are better or worse? I'm not sure if you got the chance to view the articles I liked about other musicians but I tried to follow the same format as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_Faye in specific. I really don't feel like I'm being any less neutral when describing this musician then whoever wrote this article for her.
No Good is a smaller musician that I heard of through other twitch streamers so I don't see that he has won any awards when I search for him. I definitely did take the explanations of how he works on his music from his interviews and info sections of his websites and the websites of the labels that have released his songs so I can change these to quotes if that helps? perhaps something more like follows?
Does something more like what is below address your concerns? Am I on the right path here?
No Good (born 1986) is an American musician, music producer, vocalist, DJ, guitarist, mixing engineer, mastering engineer, communications engineer, signal processing engineer, and avid cat owner.[1]. He started professionally releasing music in 2018 and created social media accounts on twitter, Instagram, SoundCloud, and twitch to stay in touch with his fans and share insight into his production work. His music has been described as "juxtapositions that take different key elements from various genres and place them together in a cohesive way. Rather than being radical and drawing your attention, they are meant to be subtle and blend in".[2]

Early life and education Born and raised in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii he started playing the piano, guitar and constantly writing new songs starting at a young age. As the son of a first chair violinist / classical pianist who’s brothers were Broadway musical singer/actors he has always been involved in music. Over time he has moved from performing and writing traditional band based music to electronica. He has been in music performance scene for over 17 years.[3] He has been part of various jazz bands, a few punk rock bands, had an EDM radio show in Idaho called Harmonic Drive, and was the resident DJ in CJ’s, a large nightclub in Idaho. He did two years of school in music at the University of Hawaii at Hilo before moving to Idaho to get his undergraduate degree in electrical engineering. He then moved to Phoenix Arizona to get his masters and PhD in Electrical Engineering.[1] Career
His debut release under the moncier "No Good" was a song called "H3LP" with Uninvented Records.[2] From the press release:
... His SAD songs are subtle juxtapositions that take different key elements from various genres and place them together in a cohesive way. Rather than being radical and drawing your attention, they are meant to be subtle and blend in. Taking H3LP for example, this track was meant to give the feeling of his island roots and reggae to a doo-wop style pop song with future synths. It has been described by critics and record labels as unique and inspiring and as credible 8-bit future bass. Early access listeners called it an achievement and were intrigued to know more about the artist who could conceive of and perform an idea such as this. This single came about based on his desire to simplify the song making process, to creatively confine his productions and ideas so that the results were more focused, and to increase his productivity by making a song a day. H3LP has subtle juxtapositions that take different key elements from various genres and place them together in a cohesive way. Rather than being radical and drawing your attention, they are meant to be subtle and blend in. H3LP was meant to give the feeling of his island roots and reggae to a doo-wop style pop song with future synths. "
His third release was a self-released Contemporary Doo-Wop song done using Horus_Music as a distributor.[5] As described in the information section on soundcloud:
The song is set to be bass heavy on purpose to give the feeling of a mix of reggae and 808's and heartbreak. On top of that there is a very punchy kick to help move the song a long and add some edge to the rhythm. The synthesizers are meant to be very sweet and candy like and take the place of the piano and guitar heard in traditional doo wop era songs that are not purely acapalla. The harmonies of the group are added through a vocoder to keep the song more modern sounding and the sound effects are meant to reminisce of an old soda shoppe. The track, Darling Angel, is named after the female half of the love story that it tells about a young couple in college." References

I'll try and find more sources as well but I would say that quotes and references on other pages I find do not have multiple references for a single piece of information (like multiple references for 1 quote). In addition I quote from his soundcloud so that add a second textual reference to the article. I do not know if I can find more at this point until he does more or is featured more but I have seen articles that do not have very many references in the past so this shouldn't be an issue it seems. Are you saying I should just cut down on the amount of text in there until I can find more references and keep the amount of material from a single reference down? It seems like that really limits the page to be something different than what it should be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theyrenogood (talk • contribs) 00:42, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- The main thing is to have secondary source references that are not connected to the subject, as that will enable the artist to pass notability. I wouldn't worry about beefing up the text with quotes until after it's become a notable article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:40, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Draft page for 12 Characters in Search of an Apocalypse
Greetings Angus - thank you for your helpful comments and for continuing to track the progress of the page as I flesh it out. One comment you made was about the play's characters being in normal typeface, not bold, not italic. Looking at A Doll's House I see they, too, use bold. I think it really helps visually (but I did remove the unnecessary italics from my draft, thank you). I will change the DM cover to a photo from one of the performances, thanks for the advice. And I will ensure that any quotes I use are attributed. Thanks again!Jason.e.stewart (talk) 11:28, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- Jason.e.stewart, if the character names are in bullet list followed by dashes then that will be good enough to figure out what the character name is. You can also put in the premise that each character is named after a common expression such as "I did the math". See MOS:BOLD, which also covers how to do italics. Also I think the touring list should be condensed into a paragraph or so highlighting like "27 cities across the United States and Canada, including (some super notable venue)". If you have more news articles critiquing the essay and the performances, please add those in a Reception section in order to help it meet notability. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:11, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, OK. Will do.Jason.e.stewart (talk) 11:55, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
- Jason.e.stewart, I'd also remove the quotes that are from "direct communication with Boyd" as that is original research WP:NOR. Whatever Boyd wants to say about his work should be documented with an interview or published on his blog / twitter, or better yet, covered by external news articles.

Sppedy removal of proposed article on ARH
Dear Wikipedia editor Angus Woof,
with all due respect, I wish to ask for guidance with reference to your decision on the speedy removal of my first Wikipedia article, about a private corporation named ARH. Your judgement was that it qualified as "blatant advertising".
I took the liberty to copy the introductory passage of the proposed article. In my judgement, it contains facts rather than company promotion -- with the exception of the figures that I highlighted, which I could simply omit.
Many corporations -- including giants like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft as well as relatively small enterprises like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-Free or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acuant -- have an article on Wikipedia, informing the general public that they exist and have a clearly defined profile.
I was wondering if my proposed article on AHR could qualify as appropriate for Wikipedia -- with major changes and omissions.
Kind regards, Gojko.F.Mitic (talk) 16:24, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

- Gojko.F.Mitic, any facts that you post should be supported by news sources. Also it shouldn't be structured like it is bragging about its products. "Over 12,000 satisfied partners...on every continent" has advertising bias and needs to be rewritten from outside-of-company perspective. It also shouldn't have all that verbiage about solutions, unless you're talking about mixing chemicals. See WP:SOLUTION That you're keeping the trademark symbol around makes it appear that you're trying to sell the product and company instead of presenting it neutrally. Having bullet lists makes it look like a brochure or a copy of their website. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:41, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

AngusWOOF I misunderstood the function of the Sandbox (software development), believing it was a holding area for article development that had the ability to be reviewed by editors like yourself as you had the time to review; interjecting direction and feedback.

- AngusWOOF First, if I remove the wedding registry, I suppose I'd have to remove the statement on the date of the subject's wedding as there's no other sources giving the date besides social media posts. Second, which of the sources used would you consider "non-reliable"? Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 21:20, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- Davykamanzi, you can replace it with social media tweet or post from his wedding or news sources. See WP:RSP 30 under 30 Forbes is from a contributor, not a staff member. You should use https://www.forbes.com/30-under-30-2015/#/games instead AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:35, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello!
I am confused by your refusal of the wikipedia page 'Conviviality' I submitted. My main intention was to translate the french wikipedia disambiguation page about conviviality (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convivialit%C3%A9) as I thought it was worth making accessible to more people than just the french speaking community.
Maybe I created the wrong type of page for a translation? I hope your answer can help me to provide the english wikipedia with a "conviviality" disambiguation page more relevant than a redirection to the 'Bargain Booze' wikipedia page... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bargain_Booze)

Copyrighted contend
Hey AngusWOOF,
thank your for reviewing my draft about Personal Initiative. I got the response that there was copyrighted content in it. I think the relevant content is a table. The author and owner of the original article and therefore the table asked me to put it in the wiki entry. Do you know if there is a way how he could give hier permission to publish it on Wikipedia?
And was there something else than the table which is copyrighted?
Thank you! Best, Gianna — Preceding unsigned comment added by GiannaHenkel (talk • contribs) 07:31, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- The general article was a summary of the paper, so the question is more whether it's going to be about the paper or the concept. If it's going to be the concept, then it needs to be introduced in a neutral manner and explain how the term came about. It should not contain any statements that are copied from that paper unless it is a quote. If it is a trademarked term then it needs to be put in that context, like "Personal Initiative is a term coined by (author) to describe (explanation)" Compare to Proactivity article, which has a background/history of the term.

Draft: Jon Cornish award
Hi AngusWOOF,
Thanks for your guidance on the submission. I have reformatted the table for winners only as suggested, following the format of the Heisman Trophy. One question. Is it appropriate to list the finalists in the body of the text to provide background on the award with qualifier information now omitted? There may be a point where I can obtain the vote total from other media sources. It's a fairly new award, but it is kind of a "Heisman of Canada" from what I understand. More information on the other vote getters might be a plus.

- CANdo-artreview, as that source is unreleased, you can't copy-paste lines from his biography of Lipkin as that is original research.

- Oldtaxman, I would change the headers to something more suitable like Early life and education, Career, Personal life, Awards and nominations, Stage work, Filmography (for his work in film and television). The current headers make it look like a resume. In his infobox, simplify his occupation to Director, playwright, actor. Remove the linguist part. For spouse list the spouse name followed by years married (19xx-2016) and move the 37 years part to the Personal life section. I would also link to Wikipedia articles any notable awards, schools, locations, organizations. If you have any news articles and references that offer significant coverage of the person, please point those out. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:42, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

I never knew or met or had any dealings of any kind with the subject of the article Mohammed Al Shanfari, and until recently I had never even heard of him.
I know nobody in the Al Shanfari family and have no business or professional or any other relationship with any of them. His widow is a recent acquaintance whose first language is not English.
I am not being and will not be paid for my work. I am working on the article as an “outsider”.
I have heard what his widow has said to me about Al Shanfari but have tried very hard and hopefully successfully to rely not on her recollections but on the published sources that I have been able to find. There aren’t a lot of them, but what there are are very helpful in that they have a lot of “content” and substantiate virtually all of what I have said and everything that is important.
I think I am too remote to be conflicted. Oldtaxman (talk) 09:14, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
Is the article now OK for publication in your view please? IF it is OK, is it possible for you to publish it?

Hi Angus, I was wondering whether many mentions of the company on Wikipedia, but not having the actual article does a disservice to the users. if you search for Verastem on wikipedia, here's what comes up.

Let me know if you recommend adding more references or any other suggestions.

Got it. Thanks! By the way, is there a way that I can change the punctuation in the title of the article from a question mark to an exclamation point? It's technically supposed to be "Why Don't You Just Die!" but I can't figure out how to make a change. Also, the official release in Russia is currently scheduled for April, but the distributors are working on the American release date, so we have limited information on the reception at this point, though it's all been positive. It's also expected to premier in the U.S. at the New York "What the Fest" film festival in March, though that information has yet to be published. Although this probably doesn't appear to be a very unique film, for Russia, it is since the dark comedy genre is not common there. Is it likely that we will have to wait to until the Russian or U.S. release before we try to submit the article again, or do you think there might be grounds for publishing the article early (or after the U.S. premier) due to the unique nature of the film in Russian cinema?

About the declined article :Theoretical calculation of the power of a wind turbine or tidal turbines
Hello AngusWOOF
my article is written from references which I quote at the end of the page. My first publication is consulted more than 200 times a month since 2016 and this throughout the world. The total number of consultations is almost 8000. I did not have a single negative comment on my articles.
I wanted to add a comment. In many books and on wikepedia, it is announced that the Betz limit is a law. This calculation is accurate and based on the calculation of kinetic energy. Betz never wrote that his calculation is a law. My article on wikepedia determines the power of a wind turbine or a tidal turbine from the calculation of the kinetic energy and the calculation of the potential energy. Check out my last article on this topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Normandajc (talk • contribs)

- ObongiFrank (talk · contribs)
Hi AngusWOOF, you recently turned down my article for creation Draft:List_of_Kenyan_businesspeople citing that the article lacked sufficient content to require an article of its own and suggested I merge it with the existing article at List of Kenyans by net worth. You also mentioned that there aren't really any List of (country) businesspeople lists, only categories. Since this article sorts by net worth, you might want to redirect your efforts towards that article instead.
I have taken time to check other articles on Wikipedia and found that there are indeed articles that are list of (country) businesspeople lists, especially in Africa. Examples include:
- List of Swedish entrepreneurs
- List of Turkish entrepreneurs
- List of Brazilian entrepreneurs
- List of Indian entrepreneurs
- List of Nigerian entrepreneurs
While the articles use the term entrepreneur, they each open by stating that "this is a list of (country) entrepreneurs and businesspeople". Secondly, I also checked and found that the lists have names of businesspeople without much else, compared to my list which have even brief descriptions as well as references. The two main concerns therefore would remain the use of the term businesspeople in my title and the not so many names on the list. About the first, would changing the word influence the article's veracity? If so I will change it. About the second, naturally, I understand the concept of Wikipedia to be one of crowdsourcing information. Thus, rather than pin me down to include more names, it would be easier to accept the article and allow other editors informed on the subject to expand it further. Per these comments, I ask that you kindly consider accepting the article request for submission and give others a chance to expand the list as has been the case with the other lists I mention. Thanks.
ObongiFrank (talk) 13:46, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
- ObongiFrank, those are better options. Thanks for reformatting the list. In this case, the List of Kenyan entrepreneurs list redirects to the net worth list that's already in mainspace though. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:46, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
- ObongiFrank, I renamed the list to entrepreneurs, there's a current redirect to the net worth one, but I think it might be worth splitting off from the net worth one anyway. Can you clean up the entries where the person is only noted for having a high net worth? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:50, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

- CreeperDudeBro, it would be preferable to use citations from reliable sources in the WP:VG/RS. According to that list, AtariAge is inconclusive. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:42, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
- AngusWOOF, Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I shall re-do the information by adding more references in the article. In any case, you specifically said in the comment: "Need more WP:VG/RS reviews on the package." Is this partaining to review based on the game (Ex. Giant Bomb, IGN, etc.) or other information in general? Thanks! CreeperDudeBro (talk) 15:55, 1 February 2019 (PT)
- CreeperDudeBro, I would say both, but not Giant Bomb as that isn't a reliable source for that. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:09, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Request on 16:48:41, 2 February 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Billkaboo
Wondering how to progress. Reason for creating this page: someone recently created a page about her on german Wiki, but much of it is incorrect, and she's not german. Trying to right that wrong.
Not sure how best to proceed. Any assistance would be appreciated.

- Billkaboo, see the comments I posted on the draft page. You need to list out some sources that would enable her to meet WP:MUSICBIO. I couldn't tell which ones were notable based on what you listed so far. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:08, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Global Health Care Equivalency (GHCE)
Dear Angus:
Thank you very much for getting back. I will correct and get up to speed on the items that you mention. Since this a new topic, there are no formal secondary sources as yet, although I am sure there will be once the book is published. Might the mention of GHCE in online articles count?
Many Thanks and All my Best, Frank
