Not sure you received this so I am repeating it. Am I correct in assuming the issue of permission to use my website has been resolved? Recall the ticket number is Ticket#2014071610018216 the reply was made to Timothy Suda. In my article I list a number of peer reviewed papers on the subject of planetary SETI. These sources can be checked. The authors are members of the Society_for_Planetary_SETI_Research (see the web page mentioned at the beginning of the article.) What else is needed? Thanks for your help. Horace Crater Hcrater (talk) 18:53, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

@Hcrater:, I'm afraid I do not know anything about website permission. I also don't know how to look up ticket numbers. I'm sorry that I missed and did not review the sources you list in the Publications section. Wikipedia is not a bibliography so normally the article explains the topic and the publications are referenced as footnotes to support the explanation. If you can rework the submission to take that form and resubmit, your next reviewer will be unlikely to make the mistake I did. ~KvnG 01:33, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello! Just to let you know: Last month you proposed merging the article Centre for Environment and Vocational Studies, Chandigarh into Panjab University, Chandigarh. Today when I started to carry out the merge, I discovered that there is no mention of this Centre at the target page. On further searching I could find no evidence that such a Centre exists. So I have nominated that page for deletion instead. The deletion discussion is here. --MelanieN (talk) 15:54, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks user:MelanieN. Sounds like the right thing to do. Next time you might try WP:PROD. ~KvnG 17:43, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

I hesitate to ever use PROD for anything related to higher education. I'm fine with merging, but I never assume it would be uncontroversial to delete it - even if it seems obvious. There is always that "presumption of notability" thing that might be raised. --MelanieN (talk) 19:26, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

96.242.55.119 (talk) 15:59, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello,

How can a writer who has generated a large amount of public interest and has a notable writing career (but as we all know writer-producers and other film crew) are not often featured in independent reliable sources)get a wikipedia article. This article is about a writer of lesser notability but has been accepted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nora_Zuckerman

Meanwhile, it is not likely that Speed Weed will be featured outside of imdb.com, hollywood.com, tv.com, which are writing credits only. The places he has been written about are not considered acceptable references because they are blogs. But there is definitely interest in knowing who he is, as proven here:

http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?s=cfe7ea3af8aaa412c1ae257aed85f032&p=50590742#post50590742

http://www.crushable.com/2010/09/23/entertainment/the-daily-wtf-speed-weed/

He has also been interviewed by an independent source (also not considered reliable):

http://www.tor.com/blogs/2009/10/speed-weed-comes-clean-steampunk-and-ncis-los-angeles

How can a writer of significant public interest who has written for several hit shows get a wikipedia article?

Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Universal card}}, paste it in the edit box at , click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

I've been going through the various guidelines for reliable sources and I've come to the conclusion that my sources may be hard to verify due to them being primarily print from community papers. If I'm unable to find more reliable sources that can be verified I'm assuming my article for not only Globus Theatre but also Sarah Quick won't be accepted, am I correct? These two articles I've been working on are for a non-profit theatre that's operated for 11 years, and a fairly well known playwright. Any suggestions on ferreting out better source information to cite?

Hello! Any chances, please, for you to have a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Software § Date format in release history sections of Linux articles and possibly comment there by providing your point of view? The whole thing is pretty much poorly discussed with only a few editors actually discussing it, while it seems to be affecting more than a few articles (and the date format seems to be extending beyond the tables into references, please see history of the Linux distribution article). Any contributions to the discussion would be highly appreciated! — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 02:40, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello Kvng. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

  • Draft:Ligentia Group Limited ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

My article 'Ligentia Group Limited'was declined because of notability issues and an issue with 3rd party references. I find this a little confusing as not only are there a considerable amount of references but the majority of them are from independent sources (the times newspaper, virgin etc). In addition, compare to similar pages on wikipedia by similar companies Ligentia's references are extensive:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEVA_Logistics (1 independent external reference)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSV_(company) (2 independent external references)

It seems to me that there is one standard for my page and another for other similar sized enterprises, which is disappointing as I believe this is not what wikipedia stands for.

Theren.moodley (talk) 08:24, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry you're disappointed. I will have a another look at this when I get a chance. With regards to the other Wikipedia content you're comparing to, I suggest you have a look at WP:OTHERSTUFF. You're welcome to resubmit to get an opinion from another reviewer. You also have the option to move your draft to mainspace and take your chances with having it deleted. ~KvnG 15:12, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

I was thrilled to see my first original article in mainspace. However, I'm a little puzzled because the article is about a research area in cross-cultural psychology, and I expected it to be in the psychology portal. Instead, it's in the China and Sociology portals. How do I get it listed in the Psychology portal? (I've started a Category for "Cross-cultural psychology in the Psychology portal.)

The article is currently C-class. Besides adding more material from articles (which you kindly provided), how can I improve it? And how technical should I get? I have two masters degrees in psych and I'm used to writing in APA journal format, which would be a bit like classical Greek to the average reader.

Thanks again for reviewing the article. I now feel confident enough to write articles independently. Shandong44 (talk) 02:48, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

To change which Wikiproject(s) the article belongs to, simply edit the article's talk page. I have added {{WikiProject Psychology}} yo can remove the others if you don't believe they apply.

I think what you have up there right now is about as technical as you want to get. Don't be surprised or offended if other editors come by and want to make their own improvements the article - now that it is in mainspace, that's what's supposed to happen.

The sources I put on the talk page are WP:SECONDARY. We prefer these over WP:PRIMARY at Wikipedia because they usually contain more accessible material with better perspective on the topic. If you introduce more material from secondary sources, you will naturally move the article to where it needs to be.

Congratulations on your degrees. Please be aware that, unlike journal articles, we don't like to see WP:ORIGINAL research in Wikipedia articles. ~KvnG 15:39, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi

Thank you for your review of the Ernest Element article, I have now got to the point where I cannot be bothered to continue trying to get this article submitted, Ernest played weekly on the BBC radio and toured the world with some of the great musicians including playing for edward elgar, there are already four wikipedia articles that mention him:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element_Quartet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philharmonia_Quartet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Simpson_(composer)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Pougnet

Due to newspapers still updating their previous issues online I am unable to source his obituary online although he is mentioned in others such as:

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/mar/26/obituaries.mainsection

And continued entries from the BBC Genome project being added (http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/e934ab0e8b2c4bc185cbd2e741107b85)

Is it easier just to delete this article, this has gone from trying to add some value to being a chore.

OK. If you're done, rather than abandoning it and having it deleted for sure, I think we should move the article as it is to mainspace and see if it survives. ~KvnG 14:30, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I'd like more information on why my article was rejected (it seems it has been deleted so I cannot see the reviewers comments). I would also like the opportunity to amend the article so it meets Wikipedia's requirements. I've seen today my article has been rejected due to copyright issues. I can't seem to see any comments on the draft page -- which has been deleted. I don't believe I violated copyright, I put sources whenever I used material that was not written by myself. I would like to know more about this, and would also like the opportunity to amend the article and resubmit it. I see one comment there has been copyright infringement (it references an article that I referenced in the wikipedia entry -- I don't see how it can be copyright infringement if it is cited?http://www.bigsocietycapital.com/sites/default/files/pdf/Building%20the%20Capacity%20for%...)).

I previously edited (without making an account) the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overshoot_(signal) page to remove the % symbol in the PO equation and the damping ratio equation.

The equations divide and multiply by 100%, which is the equivalent of 1 (i.e. 100% = 1). Should it not instead be 100 instead of 100% ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lake0010 (talk • contribs) 06:39, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi there Kvng,

I hope I find you well.

I have just received your note regarding my submission for a Wikipedia Article: Ranto Bokgo. I am an avid fan and unofficial publicist, in support of the artist and hereby submit his bio as a person of note, at least across Zimbabwe-Swedish cultural lines. Your note alludes to a copyright infringement, of which I am not aware of? May you pls clarify Wikipedias position, and why this artist, who for example was the first band on earth to play/open the inaugural Fifa World Cup Concert 2010 held in Johannesburg, South Africa with his band Steady Rock, continues to get red-flagged as a submission of a person/artist of note?

Yours sincerely.

Thank you for looking at the Tetrode article and responding to my request for a reassessment. One of the reasons for my request was to gain some experience in the way in which the criteria for assessment are applied, and what you have done has helped. I do not like to presume too much on your time and effort, but it would help me further if you were to give some comments on the deficiencies in the article. Do they lie in the referencing (largely historical, and difficult to access), the inclusion of irrelevant material (such as my explanation of the superhet), omission of needed relevant material (if so what new material should be included), general organisation & presentation - I have aimed at the Class B criterion of avoidance or explanation of technical language; does this detract from the required style, or augment it ? I would like to become more proficient as a Wiki editor, and if you could help me to focus on what is required, using this article as an example for honing my skills, it would be a great help. If you are sufficiently interested in this topic to provide detailed criticism, we could, perhaps co-operate in raising the quality further; I would do the necessary research and editing, of course unless you want to contribute to that as well. The history of thermionic tubes is of considerable interest to me, so I would be quite happy to research this further - I have already learned a lot. G4oep (talk) 10:47, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi there Kvng!

Thanks for reviewing our submission for Ecobricks as its own article.

So, I am one of the founders of an alliance of folks around the world who are ecobricking. We're a 100% volunteer movement and passionate about getting this solution out to the world (you can see our opensource wiki on Ecobricks.org). We've come to the conclusion that we need to move on from the old term "eco-brick".

The term was first used by us early pioneers of ecobricking when it was a totally new thing and we weren't confident enough to give it a full-fledged word for a name! However, Ecobricks have been spreading like crazy around the world and a simple, consistent and easily comprehensible and translatable term is needed. We're thus adopting "ecobricks" as the go-to term for the global phenomenon. You can read one of the article citacions (this article in the guardian that sums up the history and uses the non-hyphenated word: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/may/29/ecobricks-and-education-how-plastic-bottle-rubbish-is-helping-build-schools )

Currently, "ecobrick" directs to the other similar terms like "bottle brick", "eco-brick", and "ecoladrillo". We like to propose that you change the eco-brick page name to Ecobrick and let us upgrade the article with what you review in my sandbox.

We feel this concept is important enough to have its own non-hyphenated term and occupy the "Ecobrick" space directly. The other terms (which can have have their own geo-contextual meanings and thus their own entries) would be better featured as disambiguations of Ecobricks. "Eco-brick" would direct to Ecobrick.

It may seem like a trifling difference, but as Ecobricks spread globally as a local recycling solution, having this global consistency will be enormously helpful as Ecobricking enters into the global consciousness and discussion. Tons of non-biodegradeable waste headed into the oceans are literally at stake.

If you have a chance to read the article or guardian piece, you will observe that this is a 100% non-commercial, global grassroots movement. The term Ecobrick will surely soon be coveted by a company or corporation. It would be a big boast for the planet that this non-coporate, pro-planet movement to be able to use the glorious non-hyphenated version of the term.

Thank you again for the review.

So long as you don't see any WP:COI issues with you making these changes, Wikipedia policy encourages you to WP:BEBOLD and make the changes yourself - move (rename) pages, change redirects. If other editors don't like what you're doing, they may revert changes and start a discussion on article talk pages. I'll put Ecobrick, Eco-Brick and Eco-brick on my watchlist. Let me know if you need any technical questions. Be aware that, in order to preserve revision history, some moves require help from an administrator. I am not an administrator. ~KvnG 23:11, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing my article. The reason you gave for rejecting it was that an article on The Derryfield School already exists. I do know that; in my messages, I said that my intent with that sandbox article was, in fact, to replace the pre-existing article. Before I make that change, however, I'd like to know if my revised version is acceptable. Thanks.

Wikipedia policy encourages WP:BOLD improvements to existing articles. We're usually talking about incremental improvements. Wholesale replacement of content should be discussed on the article's talk page. Alternatively you can go through and WP:MERGE the two articles. AfC reviewers such as myself concentrate on determining whether the subject is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Since The Derryfield School exists, that question has already been answered in the affirmative. Does that answer your question? ~KvnG 00:43, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi there again Kvng,

Ok... thanks for the helpful feedback on the Ecobrick situation. It sounds like this is an advanced edit that I am intending here:

1. To make 'Ecobrick' an article rather than a redirect. 2. To turn Eco-brick and bottle brick into re-driects

I read through the documentation, but am still a bit shaky on the way to do it properly. I figured out how to get to the Ecobrick page that has "#REDIRECT Eco-Brick" So, do I paste the new article article over this text? And then put #REDIRECT Ecobrick on the other pages 'Eco-brick' and 'bottle-brick'? Then, perhaps I should leave a note explaining my edits on the new Ecobrick article page? Where and how exactly would you recommend I post this explanatory note of the amendment?

Thanks Kvng!

Russ

You seem to have declined this as no evidence of notability, even tho you also recognized he had an article in WP. I suppose you meant to choose the suggest merge reason for declining--one of the problem with the script is that it is too easy to accidentally select the wrong reason. I re-reviewed to give it the appropriate reason. DGG ( talk ) 19:38, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

You checked for copyvio, but missed http://mcspi.ca/board/deborah-britzman/ For faculty, I find it helpful to always look for their university site, as well as doing a Google search. BTW, for faculty, you've been repeatedly commenting, not all professors are notable. That is certainly true, but we have almost never deleted an article for a full professor at a major research university, as it has always been possible to show them an expert in her field-- and holding a distinguished or named chair (as she does) is proof of notability. A year ago, I would have rewritten the article to remove the copyvio, but this one would have taken complete rewriting from scratch, & there are too many arcs for me to keep doing that. DGG ( talk ) 19:59, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I will keep in mind that full professors are likely to survive AfD. Perhaps I have been overly skeptical because I personally don't know how to defend these. I do not feel it is our job to take over for authors who have abandoned their submissions. Sounds like you're in agreement on this. ~KvnG 23:51, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Dear Kvng,

you have simplified the reference to the "Fair queuing principle" to a simple mention to "fair-queuing scheduler". My point of view is that the term "fair queuing" has two meaning: a general principle and an specific scheduling policy. Then, the expression "all fair-queuing schedulers" is ambiguous. This is why the term "Fair queuing principle" was used, with a reference to the section. MarcBoyerONERA (talk) 05:36, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
