Kawartha Credit Union article declined

Hi, I am confused and disappointed that you have declined to have this article. There are many referenced and verified sources in it. I do not believe it reads like an advertisement. It is factual, concise and sourced. This is a very large credit union that had an article on wikipedia for well over a decade before it was deleted. Without any specific feedback I can't change it.

"Personal Attacks"

Cullen328 attacked me first by attacking my username and userpage. Am I not allowed to defend myself? --Vigilante Girl (talk) 09:59, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Vigilante Girl Cullen328 is one of the most doggedly, helpful and mild mannered editors I have ever come across in my 13 years editing Wikipedia. Your username does indeed give the appearance of being combative and as for tackling vandalism, your edit history shows nothing of the sort so far. Please assume good faith. Theroadislong (talk) 16:42, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Well he was still rude and condescending to me. He shouldn't be allowed to get away with that just because of his reputation or because you like him. I reverted vandalism on the Sea Otter page. And maybe Cullen328 should assume good faith of me insteas of sending an obviously patronizing message. I have every right to be offended when someone talks down to me. --Vigilante Girl (talk) 18:12, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

I think you are trolling, you have made no edits to the Sea Otter page. Theroadislong (talk) 18:28, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

I am NOT trolling! If it wasn't on this account, it was on an ip. I reverted the edit where a vandal called Sea Otters fish. --Vigilante Girl (talk) 18:30, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

You know what? I think I'll leave this site. You all obviously care more about your hypocritical hierarchy than you care about knowledge or helping people. I have enough to deal with in my life and I'm not gonna let you and your friends push me around. --Vigilante Girl (talk) 18:35, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Sourcing in question

Dear Theroadislong,

Thank you for reviewing Ulrike Anton. May I ask for specific examples of poor sourcing, where it is lacking or the errors in the sourcing already provided?

Ball Road Anaheim, California

Hello theroadislong:

 Help me understand why I'm so lost on Wikipedia. I was trying to help people who wanted to know who Ball Road in Anaheim,California namesake is. Turns out it my great great grandfather Hezekiah Wright Ball. So did i put to much information about him or to little? Citations. The historians of the town doesn't count? Magazine's article don't help. Or is the subject matter unwanted by Wikipedia standards?

Draft Article on IoAAS waiting for Review

Dear Theroadislong

We’ve been in correspondence on your Talk page a few times over an article on the IoAAS, indeed you were very helpful in looking it over.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Institute_of_Advanced_Architectural_Studies

Your last comment was that ‘it's looking good to me’, but you thought that the references needed a bit of work on them, which I did. I then posted the Draft Article for Review on 26th July, and to be frank I was hoping on the basis of your positive comments that you would probably endorse it and just move it up. Seven weeks later, I’m sorry to say that nobody else has looked at it at all! If you would be agreeable, do you think you could maybe approve it now? If not, of course it is not a problem, and I can wait for another reviewer. But I’ve got an idea for another article - and to be honest I’m fretting a bit over getting this one accepted before I can move on! If you can help, I’d be most grateful, many thanks ArchaicW (talk) 11:22, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

 Done. Theroadislong (talk) 11:27, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Question about citing date of birth and location of notable person

I've a question on how to cite the date of birth and location of a notable person. This is related to a page you reviewed for me previously, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athel_Cornish-Bowden. I originally had the birthdate on the page but removed it because I didn't have any evidence to back it up. I now have access to the person's birth cetificate, but page "https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Notability_(people)&action=edit&section=15" says "Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth," so the question then is how do I add the birthdate to the page? Rhodydog (talk) 22:11, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

The simple answer is that you don't! We don't add ANY personal details unless they have been published somewhere. Theroadislong (talk) 07:51, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for answering my question. I know you're not going to like this and I've been scolded for bringing this kind of thing up before but I examined 10 biographies at random of notable persons (across different walks of life) and each one I examined gave an uncited birthdate. This means that not all editors are as careful as you are. If someone wrote a biography on the person in question in a reputable journal (e.g Nature) which gave details such as the birthdate, I assume I could use that as evidence? 128.208.19.3 (talk) 20:25, 20 September 2019 (UTC).

Please read other crappy articles exist, it's not an excuse! If the birth date is sourced in a reputable journal then by all means cite it. Theroadislong (talk) 21:29, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

I agree absolutely it’s not an excuse! However, it would be useful if Wikipedia editors could be more consistent. Obviously you do what you to maintain consistency but there are so many biographies of notable people that I’ve checked which just state the birthdate, as well as numerous other bits of information, without any evidence.

Draft: Rutger Hoedemaekers

Hi @Theroadislong! Thanks for reviewing my submission. :) I have found some from web and added as references from playlist.net, bbc.co.uk and film music reporter. I don't want to get it declined again. :( That's why I am keen to make sure I've done it perfectly. N.B: Replaced Wikipedia pages, IMDb and Discogs links added before as references by some news link featuring Rutger Hoedemaekers' band and him. Please cooperate.

It's looking better but still has some unsourced content. Theroadislong (talk) 17:54, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Theroadislong!, I am waiting for a review impatiently. I will die waiting if it really takes 8 weeks to get it reviewed. Would you please help! I don't know how many times I have visited your talk page in the last 3 days! And refreshed it again and again to see if you've replied or not. ha ha ha. In the mean time, I have read almost all of the previous discussions happened here. I must say, you are very generous. I liked the way you approach new Wikipedians like me. One more thing I would like to add is, your name. First time,I was like, how to pronounce it! What does it mean! Typing it multiple times , make me understood it says, "The Road is Long" . OMG.(Curious to know what you meant by this, which road is long and where are you heading up to, Kidding!) I like your user page too! Your sense of art is amazing. I don't know if I can give you a barn star or not. I really like you, Man! Please don't think, I am saying these things to get your review. :( I truely meant what I said about you! It's okay, if you leave my article pending for review. Marnie Hawes (talk) 09:35, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Advice on content that is written like an advertisement

Carry Somers page is similar in tone and content to many other people in the sustainable fashion industry whose pages I have edited. The external links to Fashion Revolution all appear to have been removed by WikiFashion and there appears to be no tabloid links in the references. Can you clarify what you are wanting to change as the content herein appears no more promotional than that of other fashion designers and campaigners whose sites I visit and review? Ecochic (talk) 14:48, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

I did the changes as previously requested(Reference section, remove German Wikipedia a.o.) and do not understand your concerns.It would really be great to find common sense and get the content submitted, approved!

Hi,

with this I want to refer to your recent reply to my resubmission of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Dubblestandart

I did the changes you previously requested!

I changed the reference section so that it now lists the independent sources only. I removed the German Wikipedia entry. The other segments like collaborations, releases a. o., show connections that define the interlinked activity and therefor also justify the notability of this musical group. This article has been written, after reviewing many existing articles about bands.I do not see those differences that u state as a lack of "qualification". There are so many entries with much smaller, barely traceable content, sometimes even without anything in the reference section at all. I repeatedly reviewed the history section, its exactly how content about musical groups is presented on Wikipedia.

Your criticism concerning, being not neutral: There are thousands of entries made by entities related to the subject, weather its entertainment, science, politics or whatever. Wikipedia, to me, is super-respected as an independent resource and this is why I submitted. Everything on Wikipedia also supports the exposure of the subject, therefore it is almost impossible to debilitate the accusation of advertising. Don't you think that it comes naturally, that if you operate as a band worldwide( on a proven level), you would want your profile on Wikipedia? I don't have any wishes than just making this project correctly listed on a worldwide basis and Wikipedia is the best platform to do so.

I agree the text flow and purpose should not be in any way suggesting a commercial cause(which might always happen in blurry area), but as long as the content is about a musical group that has worked internationally for 3 decades, worked with many international artists(and still does) the worldwide community will appreciate reliable information about them, outside of the commercial world. That's all I want.

I absolutely respect your aim to have the highest standards implemented, but I have been reediting my entry many times now based on your requests and would kindly ask you to approve.

Many thanks

Please firstly read other crap exists. You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia does NOT host profiles. You have not addressed the issue of formatting sources in-line and the draft is stuffed with promotional content such as "came to internationally success through their collaboration", " known for energetic, often improvisational live sets", " most successful album to date"' "a well known progressive Austrian record, distribution and publishing company", " legendary Firehouse Crew" Also see WP:BAND for what is required. Theroadislong (talk) 15:44, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

regarding addition of link.

I did not added any 'so called "inappropriate external links"' to Wikipedia, as you commented.

I knew a Book swapping website donatebooks.org in India and hence for everyone else's benefit I added it there in the page.

You deleted it as per Wikipedia rule and that is well agreed. But your comments could have been better by just highlighting Wikipedia's rules rather than blaming. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bharat1 (talk • contribs) 16:29, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Eleni Antoniadou

Hi Theroadislong, I have taken the liberty to remove the A4 tag from this article. I do not think that it technically applies. The "story" of the article has fundamentally changed from what was an article about a "budding" scientist that lacked reliable sourcing to a well publicised (potential) hoax. The trail of coverage should pass notability easily if taken in combination. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 09:08, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

can my edit be reinstated ?

Hi, I added a donatebooks.org entry in the list of book swaping sites on the wiki page : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_swapping There are many such mentioning of items/topics/subjects across wikipedia which doesn't have any article available/already written in wikipedia. If those items can exist on wikipedia then why can't the one which I added. Eventually the objective is to share right information and my addition will help people's reading the article to know that a book exchange site i.e., donatebooks.org also exist apart from the previously mentioned one.

There is no article for DonateBooksOrg and there was no sourcing, so no reason to add it apart from promotion. Theroadislong (talk) 18:17, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Problems on Filter Bunker Raigmore Inverness article

I am working on the Raigmore Filter Bunker page.

I have two issues.

Firstly I own the bunker in question, but somebody tells me my own drawing of the floor-plan is a copyright infringment. It cant be. I measured by building, I drew the sketches on my computer to my sizes. How do I stop the images being deleted. The info in the talk page made little sense to me!

Secondly, the text and pictures I put in keep vanishing. Is this because I am doing something wrong and being censored, or is it incompetence in my part.

For example I *THOUGHT* I had added Here is a plan of the lower floor: lower floor of bunker 1989-2019

It appears in preview. I published it. Then it is not there? Any advice welcome. I appreciate you are NOT a help manual,but I am stuck. Iain — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iainmaoileoin (talk • contribs) 20:28, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

As the images were tagged for deletion I removed them from the article, you have now replaced them and as long as you hold the copyright that should be fine, what is more problematic is your conflict of interest and your addition of details which are not suitably sourced. ALL content requires independent published sources, it is not sufficient to use your knowledge of the building we need published evidence of all the details.

Hi

You declined my article on Dr. Steeves. I have provided enough citations and many links within the article as well I have their recent CV and from that CV I have plenty of information about them regarding their work and many more things.

And therein lies the problem, the draft Draft:Paulette Steeves reads like a CV and as I said, is woefully lacking in sources, bloated and promotional. All of the in line external links need to be removed, as does everything that doesn't have a reliable independent source. Articles on Wikipedia must be adequately supported by independent reliable sources so that information can be verified. Theroadislong (talk) 14:38, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

JSTOR,Dawn,and Firstpost and Rekhta and his reference in Google books are individual sources. He does not has his own website. May i know which Individual source you are referring too  ? . If its Rekhta its Urdu's website for all Urdu poets ( kanhaiyalal kapoor is one of them ). Need clarification.

Apologies to bug you again, but just wanted to check, does it look okay now ? or should i remove external links section too ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumeetworld (talk • contribs) 15:33, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing the draft. I have removed the FB and Pintrest links. Also cut down on External links and moved it to Further reading. Let me know at your convenience if it looks okay now. I can remove Further Reading section as well if its not required. Looking forward for your review. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Kanhaiya_Lal_Kapoor — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumeetworld (talk • contribs) 15:34, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Emmanuel Cooper edit

Hi there Theroadislong,

My apologies I did not realise that my edit was inappropriate. This was my first attempt in contributing to this amazing resource.

My intention was that the book reference would be useful resource and be of value to corroborate other content. My inexperience also resulted in the positioning of the link on the page near top whereas I had thought i was adding to the reference section below.

A question of more haste less speed I guess.

Again my apologies,

Kind regards

Perhaps you could add the content and then add back the source, you might find this helpful WP:REFB. Theroadislong (talk) 18:14, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Walton Street Capital Review

Hi!

Thanks for reviewing the article. Could you please let me know what modifications should I make to make it acceptable? Should I use different citations independent from Walton's website?

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by CREworld (talk • contribs) 17:44, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes three of your five sources are to their own website which doesn't help with notability, see WP:CORP for what is required. Theroadislong (talk) 17:46, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

external links

Hello?

Would it be possible for you to send me a "simple step by step" procedure on how to insert an external link to an other (professional, relevant, serious,...) website which wouldn't be in-line ? I really don't understand what I am reading on Wiki.

Many thanks in advance Best rtegards Patrick — Preceding unsigned comment added by PatmanSA1 (talk • contribs) 08:54, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

External links belong in there own section at the end. Theroadislong (talk) 09:03, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
