Hi Mabdul, thank you for reviewing my 'iDonate' submission to Wikipedia. I am also interested in becoming more involved in contributing to wikipedia. I am interested in the review process as this is my first article creation.

I look forward to your feedback on iDonate. I found some of the research difficult as there is no other provider offering this range of services. The online donations and fundraising pages are common - white label is unusual and not offered by others. SMS texting is very new and evolving.

The online charity shop is very unique and offers huge fundraising potential to the charities. Lots of charity shops see this as a new opportunity to raise much needed funds.

I look forward to hearing from you. Regards Paddy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poshpaddy (talk • contribs) 14:28, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there Mabdul. A couple of days ago I self-nom'ed the Lennie Mace article with a hook about his ballpoint pen Mona Lisa. I just noticed it was removed from that talk page (although it still appears on another page with all waiting noms), but it doesn't appear (yet) in the queue page. There may have been many flaws to the entry but... Any other way to track that besides just continuing to check the afformentioned pages?Penwatchdog (talk) 03:57, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have added verifiable references as suggested. Will you please review and let me know if this is meeting the guidelines. Thx. RM (talk) 12:08, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your recent submission to Articles for Creation. Your article submission has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. Please view your submission to see the comments left by the reviewer. You are welcome to edit the submission to address the issues raised, and resubmit once you feel they have been resolved.

Or on second check - its a test sandbox. I already wondered why anyone would create an "Ipsum Lorem" article. :) Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 22:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

see, I will integrate the check as fast as I can...mabdul 14:13, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I kind of solved the cause for now as well. Silly location for a HTML comment, when one considers that most submitters probably won't have a clue what a HTML comment does. ("What does that strange line do? Oh, it says "Don't remove this line" above here and it looks the same. I should probably write my article inside those strange arrow markings") Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 08:29, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bypass your browser's cache: Tommorris pushed the new version for me. (mainly: the comment/ref check) Please report bugs here. mabdul 09:41, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done, seems that the review button fails to load now though. Firebug reports the following in the web console:

• [12:08:22.269] invalid assignment left-hand side @ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Timotheus_Canens/afchelper4.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript:837

If i tell it to navigate there, ir points to this section:

// Uncomment cats (after the cleanup commented them)

text = text.replace(/\[\[:Category:/gi, "\[\[Category:");

text += '\n'+= pageAppend;

afcHelper_editPage(newtitle, text, token, "Cleanup following AFC creation");'

I'd try to fix it, but my javascript skills are pretty much nonexistent, i prefer c#.net / vb.net :). Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 10:11, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ugggh, neither Opera nor IE have problems with that (and even don't report any errors), but that explains why Nathan wasn't able to do anything with the script yesterday. Please change following line:

text += '\n'+= pageAppend;

to

text += '\n'+ pageAppend;

Thanks! mabdul 10:17, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - and welcome back review button! Also, since you asked me to post at the bug page i just placed it there, but i figured i should reply to the section on my task page as well :). Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 10:36, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I fear i got another one, when pressing the "Review" button (Happends on this page)

(Firebug console)

• [13:23:55.821] refbegin is null @ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Timotheus_Canens/afchelper4.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript:1340

(Code)

var rerefbegin = /\<\s*ref\s*(name\s*=\s*.*\s*|group\s*=\s*.*\s*)*\>/mig;

var rerefend = /\<\/\s*ref\s*\>/mig;

var refbegin=text.match(rerefbegin);

var refend=text.match(rerefend);

if(refbegin.length!=refend.length)

The review window doesn't open, but no error is shown either.Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 11:29, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've written the wiki article I wanted but it doesnt look fully complete - any help would be appreciated! Ash, Rayz2881Rayz2881 (talk) 17:04, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rayz2881, I have submitted your draft at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Cllr. Rabia Bhatti. Please read WP:REFB and transform your submission. Moreover you should read WP:CHEATSHEET and add wikilinks to your draft! mabdul 17:30, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for helping me with my article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Mackintosh_Braun_%28Band%29) The first reviewer just revoked his rejection (although he also sent it to the back of the line, so who knows how long it will take to get reviewed again.)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:55, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Err, I opted-in and I reverted 'your edits' because you placed my signature on documentation and header pages! Bad bot! mabdul 18:00, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on User:JCIPR/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. mabdul 23:34, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ehh, I think you got my name wrong on that thread. I was renamed. :) ⇒TAP 13:27, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know, although I missed an n, it was my intension to use the old name: since then you have changed your behavior dramatical and the account rename was the next logical step. It is something: bad TAP (TomTom) and good TAP ("new account"). mabdul 13:34, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! I'm more of 'good Sonnet 19, line 10', which explains my username. :) ⇒TAP 13:37, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
