@Widr: :p
I have this kind of quasi-OCD where I have to check that I've done everything perfectly and for that I need to watchlist every page I edit, but now my watchlist has grown too long and I can't keep up with it on busier days. So I'm moving some anti-vandalism work and such things to this extra account, so on my main account I can focus more on topics that actually interest me. — Jeraphine (talk) 08:16, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

We're not Spammers - Our site is clean and filled with Original Contents.

This is really unfortunate that our page has been deleted. I hope you have taken the action on good terms.

I would like to mention that we are not a spammy site, we have been adding articles created by our own writing team and they are 100% unique.

Also we are just in our developing stage and now realized that we need to learn more to create a Wiki page. We will add more original contents and work towards building ours to a large site and then apply again.

Thanks. --Km Ranjithkumar (talk) 04:11, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

We have a different understanding of the word "spam". You've been spamming the link of your non-notable website to multiple articles here, that's the problem. Using Wikipedia to promote your stuff is not allowed. — Jeraphine (talk) 13:34, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Draft:CloudAlpaca Rejection

How do I know what is considered a usable reference? I thought I was following the directions by using news article. This time I even used the references from the Japanese CloudAlpaca wikipedia entry and still got rejected. The software is still new in the US so there isn't any news about it in English. Looking at this link about news about the software how would I know which one of theses is usable? https://www.google.co.jp/search?q=%22CloudAlpaca%22&tbm=nws&gws_rd=cr&ei=m2luVeqUEouZ8QWvjYDYAQEditor5989 (talk) 02:45, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

@Editor5989: Since I'm not familiar with what are Japanese reliable sources, and it's hard to tell just by looking at them, then I can't answer that for you. (Also sources that are reliable and sources that can prove notability can be different things.) Do you speak Japanese? Maybe we can somehow figure it out at the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. I also recommend you look at this: Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Typically, posts by some random bloggers can't prove notability. — Jeraphine (talk) 04:53, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
@Jeraphine: I made a mistake these are the articles used for the Japanese Wikipedia.I meant to post the bottom two. I can read Japanese for the most part. The news site seems legit to me.

SPACE for Wisdom I am testing Wikipedia as a space for three or four liners (not verses)

I do not believe in encyclopedic articles. I do not think guys/girls have time even in universities for BIG articles except for their titles (PhDs etc) I browsed one of your articles (scrappy one) of my alma mator (University) and found it revolting. I was not looking for my name but one of my teachers who is desparately ill (Prof of English) and one of my colleagues (who is an eminent vascular surgeon) who too is ill.Both names were missing So I put this piece as a test. See below. Sri-Lanka desperately needs reconciliation since racist mindset and political agenda are hell bent on destroying 'Good Governance or Yaha Palanaya. If Wikimedia has no space for two or four liners (Like in Dhamma Pada), I won't visit it again.

I have enough FREE space in the WEB to express my views.

Hope I have not misused your space and time.

Extended content

Wisdom and Science (in Reconciliation-I added this now)

To travel ahead thou shall become the path itself.

The path (Science) and the path finder (Scientist) shall blend into one.

Live to benefit mankind, not to benefit oneself.

Just take little steps to help the fellow beings.

One need not have to take giant steps for reconciliation.

'Hillary and Tennyson conquered the Mount Everest by little steps at a time.'

One has to be mindful of each of the little steps one takes but the first step bound to be the most difficult in reconciliation.

JUST A WORD In RETURN

My article on Barney Brown is important TO ME for one primary reason: Dustin Hoffman has mentioned studying with him, and this is on the internet. If one then looks for info on "Barney Brown", one gets only an athlete! I know the great actor Stewart Margolin also studied with Barney Brown at the Pasadena Playhouse, so I thought it would fill a need to get a page up, however short. The second reason for a bio on Barney Brown the theatre person is that it brings out Harriette Ann Grey's partnership with him, and a circle of theatre people connected to the Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts camp. I wish it were possible to better my effort, and I do understand why it was rejected. Just want you to know why I tried at all.Kamitra1 (talk) 18:32, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

19:13:37, 5 June 2015 review of submission by PaulGX2


Hi Jeraphine, I appreciate your review of my article. I am a new Wikipedia editor, so I'm doing my best to follow the guidelines and rules for submission. I would like your advice on how to revise my article on Morgan Ganem so that it would be accepted when I request a re-review. May I ask, what are some examples of the non-notable subjects within my article, so that I may understand better what may need to be omitted or re-referenced?

Thank you greatly for your help. PaulGX2 (talk) 19:13, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Hey Jeraphine

Thanks for editing some of the material,I do not know how to add table of contents and info box as well to the draft as I am new at this. I will add the citations where you have asked it is required.Well, what other evidence do you need for a Debut author's notability? You presume that random people will have full pages of newspaper interviews ,reviews from NY Times and Guardian and podcast interviews and have thousands of fans on their social page? Writing meaningful books is a noble thing and we should applaud and recognize it,not everyone can write books! At least I cannot and I am sincerely trying to write more pages not just for her but also for authors like Andrea Houtsch and caroline Barker. I am just not getting the editing framework at the minute to make a proper unbiased page with contents and infobox.

Thanks

We have rules here about what kind of articles we can accept or not, it's not my personal decision. See: Wikipedia:Notability (people). The reason why I declined the draft was that it was written like an advertisement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and articles need to be written in a neutral tone. (Also not my decision, see: WP:NPOV.) — Jeraphine (talk) 11:34, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

I am not blaming you for it either.I am just validating the fact that I am not creating a page for some random person.I have added an info box with image but the info box isnt showing all the captions I have included? I can see the ToC is there,Thanks for it! next step, adding citations where you have requested an changing the tone to encyclopedic,I will show it to you once its revamped. Thanks Jeraphine.

Hi Jeraphine, I create new draft article about subject Madura Kulatunga at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Madura_Kulatunga This article is created according to Sri Lanka national newspapers. I properly did citation to all the sentences.

Minetest

I'm not quite sure I follow you...I am trying to appease the part of WP:GNG that mentions "significant coverage." --AKA Casey Rollins Talk with Casey 3:26 PM EST AKA Casey Rollins (talk) 19:26, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

@AKA Casey Rollins:, yes, exactly, and it goes "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" -- key words here being "reliable sources". Random bloggers are not reliable sources, their reviews are not mentionworthy (they would get removed from a real article) and they can not help prove notability. — Jeraphine (talk) 19:41, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
@Jeraphine: I see. But what do you mean by "random blogger," and how could that discount notability? 9to5Mac is a blog, heck even FoxNews.com is a blog! And if blogs arent notable what kinds of sources are? AKA Casey Rollins Talk with Casey 7:37 PM EST
@AKA Casey Rollins: How could it not not count towards notability? Imagine that I created some sort of a browser game that no one cares about, and then created a blog and posted a "review" there and asked my friends to post reviews on their blogs -- would that mean that my game is notable for Wikipedia? Of course not.
Let's not mix up our terminology, we're not talking about "notable sources", we're talking about reliable sources. A gaming blog run by some Jim in Albuquerque is not a reliable source and should not be used as a reference in any article, not even in the reviews section, because it simply doesn't matter what Jim writes on his blog.
For examples of sources that can be used on game articles, see here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Sources#List.
For more info about review sites specifically, see here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Sources#Review_sites.

Hi , there are some photographs evidence on Wikipedia and linked to Vasudev V Shenoy. You can have them too as photographic evidences. Kindly go through... also if u can point out what is the intricate details interested to only a certain smaller group of people, I'd explain the importance of that information or straightaway take it off.

New Chaucer Society

Hi, Jeraphine. Thanks for your notes on the New Chaucer Society page, which I modeled on the Medieval Academy of America entry. I've marked it as a stub (which I had intended to do before) and made a couple of changes, so I hope that helps. AMBohne (talk) 19:24, 8 June 2015 (UTC)Amanda

Hi again, I just got a note that the entry was rejected again. It's just meant to be a stub. I've seen other stubs that are shorter and have fewer citations and links, so I'm a bit confused. This is an internationally recognized scholarly organization that publishes a well-regarded journal and hosts a large conference every two years. I've looked at entries (not stubs, but full entries) for other similar organizations, and tried to use those as models. I'm sure you're busy, but could you give me some more specific feedback? Thanks. AMBohne (talk) 19:37, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

@AMBohne: Hello. When I review articles then I try to determine whether the topic of the article is notable or not. As there are a LOT of articles in the queue waiting to be reviewed, then reviewers don't have time to go and do their own research. We except that the article draft will in itself prove that the topic is notable (and, so, suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia). So when I look at an article I expect to see some sources/references (which are reliable and independent of the topic) that talk about that topic -- for example being featured in newspapers often proves that the topic is notable. For more information on "notability" see Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). — Jeraphine (talk) 15:24, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Helo, Can you provide me more information on what kind of reliable sources that you need? Because on the provided sources you will find the detail information, which you can verify about the article that I have try created.

Many thanks, Martha Marthatcastro (talk) 06:12, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

@Marthatcastro: See Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. — Jeraphine (talk) 15:17, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the information, I also read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_source_examples However, I'm still a little bit not sure about the reliable source, is the any other example that you can provide me. So it will help understand about this reliable source. I believe the article that I just wrote already has a reliable source, like they have a partner ship with Microsoft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marthatcastro (talkcontribs) 17:18, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

I've changed the introductory section to include more context and to remove some of the technical material. I have also added a handful of links to other wikipedia articles to provide background on unfamiliar but important terms. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions for improving the article.

04:15:52, 13 June 2015 review of submission by Enterfrize


Hi There!

Thank you for reviewing the Wikipedia page for The Immersive Technology Alliance. Several external media links were added which should provide the notability confirmation that is required. There are still links to the ITA site directly, but I don't think there is a way around that as that's the legitimate source (e.g. types of membership).

Is this enough?

Draft:Students%27_Information_and_Guidance_Bureau

Hi Jeraphine: this is about the article Students'_Information_and_Guidance_Bureau which you just rejected citing lack of references. Kindly do tell me what kind of references i can provide. This institution is is a very old organisation of the city/state which is very famous for its services. But the way it has been functioning is quite traditional and conventional. It has a rich history of over 40 years but majorly in papers and not ON THE INTERNET. So how and what kind of references can I provide for "proving" the Institution and its services being legit.

Thanks and regards 09:19, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi By the way i read the links you sent me and have learnt about sending references NOT online like books and newspapers. We have several such references but we will need time to accumulate, compile and present it here which will require some time. Shall have that done and get back here.

Thanks and regards Nayaksonal (talk) 09:28, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

@Nayaksonal: You have all the time in the world as long as the draft stays in "Draft:"-space. I had to decline the submission as its only source was an obscure business listing site. You don't have to provide online links if you have access to reliable offline sources. But you will need to add the titles and info of those sources to the draft. — Jeraphine (talk) 09:34, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Yes i shall go through the files of local libraries and other sources for offline content. For now i have found/ googled some legit and reliable references online, you can go through which shows the existence and functioning of the above said organisation as well as about the person running it, the Director Mr. V.V.Shenoy.

References

Thanks and regards Nayaksonal (talk) 11:02, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi,

The edit submission was rejected again but You dint reply if these references i sent you are enough or credible enough. As they are of National level online newspapers. If not ill have to add the offline content and references as well... Nayaksonal (talk) 15:41, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

@Nayaksonal: What do you mean "again"? The submission has been declined once. Please put those references into the draft. I don't think a blogspot blog is a reliable source though, unless you can tell me what person runs that blog and why he/she is a reliable source for that info. — Jeraphine (talk) 16:52, 7 June 2015 (UTC)


Hi Jeraphine,

Yes I shall put the links in the draft. The links shows the reference and relation about the person and the organization. U can also use the photographic evidence the other user Anupvshenoy has used. those are also legit photographs of the insitution on page Vasudev V Shenoy Thanks

Hi Jeraphine,

I have found this blog https://stoples.wordpress.com/2015/03/07/web-for-yayasan-sayangi-bali-by-socmedtech/ which provide information about the company that I write the article. Do you think that can be use as a reliable resources or citation?

Looking forward to your reply.

Many thanks Martha

Marthatcastro (talk) 17:11, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Question on Reliable References

Hi Jeraphine,

I'm still trying to figure out how to get reliable references for the pages that I've created https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:PT._Sosial_Teknologi_Teknologi Is this information can be use as a reliable references http://ahu.go.id/pencarian/bakum/cari/tipe/perseroan?nama_perseroan=sosial+media+teknologi How about if they can provide me a hard copy of their company documents? Is this can be use as a references?

Many thanks --Marthatcastro (talk) 15:47, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

What company documents? We can only use published sources.
I don't know what to tell you about that link, I can't understand what it is. — Jeraphine (talk) 17:20, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jeraphine,

I'm having trouble getting this article accepted - it now has a number of references from national newspapers and the BBC.

Hi, I need you help... I don't know how to communicate with the Arbitration Committee so I can ask them to block a user called TheRedPenOfDoom for warring me in the page "List of shared universes"

You can see the line here. Fusionem (talk) 23:27, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

@Fusionem: Any special reason why we need the ArbCom? Please see WP:Dispute resolution. First step is actually talking to the person you have a dispute with. The article's talk page is empty. I looked at the history and it doesn't exactly look like edit warring to me, but if it does escalate there then you need to make a report at WP:ANEW, but if you go there then you might also get yourself blocked for edit warring. (Also typing up edit warring reports is a total drag, I recommend enabling Twinkle, with that you can compose a report with minimal effort.) — Jeraphine (talk) 07:56, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

In fact, you didn't see the first editions for this page in particular. The page is empty because THAT user is deleting the previous information which is why is empty. Fusionem (talk) 12:30, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

There's nothing in the deletion log, so I don't get what you're saying. I said I looked at the page history. — Jeraphine (talk) 12:38, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Dear Jeraphine, The Data Excellence is a science, created by the Doctor Walid el Abed, it is recognized and taught by many universities as University of franche comte, the CNAM, the University of law of Fribourg. http://www.unifr.ch/ius/llm/teaching-staff/teachers/walid-elabed Each scientific committee validated this disciplin a few years ago. http://tesniere.univ-fcomte.fr/cv/walid.html

This is a neutral article and not oriented toward a commercial perspective neither an advertisement purpose. It has been also recognized by the analysts Gartner and Forrester as a reference and alternative future. I kindly remind that Gartner and Forrester are included inside Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner The references are also HERMES Science publication, Editions Lavoisier and IEEE Publications, all are prestigious and very well known scientific editors. I do not understand the rejection from your side ? as all the references used are already included inside Wikipedia. Several states in Switzerland as Canton du Valais and Canton de Geneva have adopted the Data Excellence, thereafter why did you mention that the tone is not encyclopedic ? as we have explained all the details, utility, and all the links above are only referring to the Data Excellence. Therefore, I am convinced that this draft is notable and neutral. Otherwise, would you please inform me which lines and which sentences should I remove to allow the diffusion of Data Excellence in Wikipedia ?
