Thanks for uploading File:ChatON app logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:13, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Liance, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
  • Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!

Technology update:

  • The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: T175225

General project update:

  • On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
  • Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.
  • To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Liance, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
  • Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!

Outreach and Invitations:

  • If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: {{subst:NPR invite}}. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive

  • A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
  • Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update:

  • ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
  • The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
  • To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

New Years new page backlog drive

Hello Liance, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:

  • The total number of reviews completed for the month.
  • The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Hello Liance, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!
The NPP backlog at the end of the drive with the number of unreviewed articles by creation date. Red is older than 90 days, orange is between 90 and 30 days old, and green is younger than 30 days.

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
  • We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!

New Year Backlog Drive results:

  • We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update:

  • ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
  • Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

ACTRIAL:

  • ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing

  • Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled

  • While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.

News

  • The next issue Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost has now been published after a long delay. There are some articles in it, including ACTRIAL wrap-up that will be of special interest to New Page Reviewers. Don't hesitate to contribute to the comments sections. The Signpost is one of the best ways to stay up date with news and new developments - please consider subscribing to it. All editors of Wikipedia and associated projects are welcome to submit articles on any topic for consideration by the The Signpost's editorial team for the next issue.

ACTRIAL:

  • WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Deletion tags

  • Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:

  • A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons

  • There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

Paid editing - new policy

  • Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

  • The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

Not English

  • A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.

News

  • Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
  • The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

Hi Skynav, sorry for the delay in answereing your question. I must have missed your message. All references on Wikipedia must conform to our policies in that they must be reliable and secondary, some of your sources do not fit that requirement; in addition the references should establish notability about the subject (CryptoCompare for example). The article can be greatly improved, please ask if you have any more questions. Thanks! -Liancetalk/contribs 13:07, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of CryptoKitties for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article CryptoKitties is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CryptoKitties until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 21:30, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Article review Haelan 951

Hi Liance, I am new at creating articles for Wikipedia. Can you clarify your comment "Some references are associated with the subject. Please remove these." Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haelan951 (talk • contribs) 18:17, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Haelan951, I was referring to the fact that Wikipedia requires references to be independent of the subject, in that they usually should not be published by a party closely related to the subject itself. I recommend removing references published by a party closely related to the subject itself before resubmitting your article. Please let me know if you have any other questions. -Liancetalk/contribs 23:29, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

WikiProject Apps: Swift Playgrounds + Kiwaka

Hello Liance,

Thank you for reviewing and rating Swift Playgrounds. Someone tagged the page with: "{Advert | date=February 2019}" I would like to improve the article so that the tag can be removed. I've reviewed the document and I don't think it has inappropriate links or promotional content. Maybe the language style could be improved. Do you have any recommendations?

Also, I've recently submitted an article for an educational game: Draft:Kiwaka within the scope of the WikiProject Apps. I've noticed that you are also in this group. Do you want to take a look and give me your feedback?

Best regards, --Coel Jo (talk) 13:46, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi Coel Jo, I took a look at Swift Playgrounds and I think there are no particularly problematic issues with the article, perhaps the language could be made a bit more neutral but otherwise the article is great. When I get the chance I will take a look at Draft:Kiwaka and get it reviewed. Let me know if you have any more questions. Keep up the good work! -Liancetalk/contribs 17:29, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Please participate to the talk pages consultation

Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Open Beatz festival

I had a look at the article corresponding to the submission you declined at the German Wikipedia, and I noticed that it's using the same ref that I used. You said that that ref is invalid. Do you know if it's an issue that the ref is on the corresponding article? I understand if you can't explain. GOLDIEM J (talk) 16:57, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi GOLDIEM J, I am assuming you are talking about your draft, Draft:Open beatz. The ref itself is okay at best, but it should not be used alone to establish notability. In order to be included in Wikipedia, articles must have multiple references that show coverage and are independent of the subject - the website you cited does not appear to meet this criteria. You should look to add some more references that are not as closely associated in order to establish notability. Please let me know if you have any more questions. -Liancetalk/contribs 19:14, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I actually have another question right now. How do you eat a sandwich?😂 #humour GOLDIEM J (talk) 20:49, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you!

Liance,

Thank you for guiding my article on Minnie Howard to the preferred location. Obviously, I'm very new, and I learn much more quickly through trial and error than through reading copious amounts of text. I'm taking the directive to "be bold" to heart. So, again, thank you for your assistance.

One question, I would like to make an alteration to formatting but when I submitted the article for review, the instruction asked that I don't change anything. As long as I don't change any of the text, can I still make the formatting change to bring the article in line with what I see as common practice?

Sincerely, MagicWellGilt73 (talk) 19:21, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Lonnie McFadden

Dear Liance:

Thanks for moving my Lonnie McFadden page to Draft:Lonnie McFadden. I understand I need to be patient, but I'm wondering if there is any information about the process of having pages accepted. This is the first page I've written, but my hope is to post pages for many Kansas City jazz musicians who have sufficient published material about them for creating pages. I'll feel much more comfortable moving forward with this project when they start to be posted. It's hard to know if the work is just disappearing.

I would be grateful for any information about how I might know if and when the page will be posted.

Many thanks, Anne AG Kansas City AG Kansas City (talk) 00:02, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi AG Kansas City, it appears that Draft:Lonnie McFadden is currently out of the review process, so it cannot be reviewed by an editor and potentially included in the Wikipedia mainspace until you resubmit it. An editor has declined your submission, and I recommend you take a look at the advice they provided and edit the submission based on that advice so that the draft fits Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Once you feel that you are ready to re-enter the review process there should be a blue "Resubmit" button on your draft that you can click on. Hope this helps! -Liancetalk/contribs 00:12, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

This is not an appropriate draft since we already have an article Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation about the same topic, and drafts of improvements to existing articles should be in user space, not draft space.

Review of Draft:Aerofly_FS

Hello Liance, Thanks for your review but I have to admit that I really don't understand why you consider that my several references are not reliable or independent. They are famous and respected websites in the flight simulation world, I cannot see what I could provide better than them. Thanks for your help, Vincent (aka Turman on Wikipedia). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Turman (talk • contribs) 13:56, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Turman, for inclusion on Wikipedia references must be reliable and significant. Though those websites do provide coverage of the subject I think more sources that provide coverage could be beneficial in establishing the subject's notability if possible, especially from those that may be prominent outside of flight simulation. Other editors have also left comments on your submission; you should look at those as well in revising your article. Hope this helps. -Liancetalk/contribs 14:22, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Paul S Stuart, it seems that your article submission was deleted by an administrator because it violated Wikipedia's copyright policies as a copy of [1].

Hi!

You told me this (below) about my page Samira Mustafaeva: April 2019[править] Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Samira Mustafaeva, from its old location at User:Рула Борзых/sandbox/Samira Mustafaeva. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liancetalk/contribs 18:52, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Рула Борзых, your draft article is currently in the WP:Draft namespace which is where submissions are preferred to be kept.

Draft article John R D'Alton

Hi Liance Removing the article completely was a bit of a shock - I hope it is still available somewhere. I had checked with Engineers Australia which is one of the organisations shown on the Interpretation Panel and have had email correspondence with the key contributor. He told me that attributing the information to Engineers Australia would be sufficient. I would appreciate the opportunity to correspond with whoever removed the article to find out who else I should attribute to. Can you advise how I can do this?

Many thanks Paul — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul S Stuart (talk • contribs) 03:59, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Paul S Stuart, your article was removed because it contained information that violated Wikipedia's copyright rules so unfortunately you won't be able to retrieve it. Information must be copyright-free (or under an acceptable Creative Commons license) even if an organization allows attribution. If you're interested RHaworth deleted your article, but as I said earlier content on WP must be free use. Hope this helps. -Liancetalk/contribs 16:29, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Can I work on multiple new articles

Hi Liance, Thanks for moving my SWaCH article to the draft namespace from my sandbox. I will continue to work on it over there. I'm a newbie on Wikipedia and wanted to know if I could start creating another (or multiple) new articles in my sandbox while the AoC submission process is underway for my first (SWaCH) article. If so I haven't been able to figure out how to do this and would appreciate some guidance. Thanks, Swmwash — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swmwash (talk • contribs) 06:37, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Swmwash, you can definitely begin creating a new article draft, however I highly recommend creating them through the WP:Article wizard since they are placed in the Draft namespace, which makes it easier for reviewers to find and revise. If you wish to create more sandboxes you can always make a new page like User:Swmwash/sandbox2 which will generate a new page under your username.

Draft article John R D'Alton

Hi Liance I contacted the person who removed my article due to a copyright issue through his email. He made his personal website and email available through the Wiki link so I thought I would use that to ask for help. His response was a bit curt and told me to use the Wiki channel with links. As I don't have anything up there at present I can't provide a link. He did at least send me a copy of my article he deleted.

My problem is this: 

The Interpretation Panel information(a public display notice), that RHaworth found had some of the material on it that I used, was sent to me by a member of Engineers Australia (the professional body for engineers) who provided much of the content. I asked him whom I should acknowledge - all the signatories on it which included local and State Government organisations, or just Engineers Australia.

His response was: “I think you only need to attribute the panel contents to Engineers Australia.”

This is what I did.

If I now add the other organisations that had their logos on the panel, will that meet the standard?

The other issue that has been picked up is the portrait which is a photo taken by the same member of Engineers Australia who photographed an Interpretation Panel (maybe the same one). He said there was no information on the panel about the photo.

I need to know the correct protocol for handling all this.

This is my first attempt at a Wiki article and I want to get it (and hopefully others) right. I have discovered many tutorials but few are that helpful. Can you recommend one that covers all the basics?

Many thanks Paul — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul S Stuart (talk • contribs) 09:27, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

I'm not the most familiar with the copyright requirements of Wikipedia - WP:COPYRIGHT is pretty comprehensive and Wikipedia generally avoids using non-free content when available, unless it is under an appropriate open license. If it is possible for you to write original text for an article that would be highly preferred, even if you are given the permission to use text. If you need any additional assistance or specific copyright help you could always ask the WP:Help desk or WP:Teahouse. As for general help for a wiki article, WP:Your first article is a good start but as always don't be afraid to reach out to other editors and be bold.

Biography of Michael H. L. Hecker

Dear Liance,

I believe that you have accidentally declined publication of my biography, thinking that it was a full-length article. (Please take into account that my biography is NOT an autobiography. It was originally proposed by my MIT professor and compiled by two of my former colleagues, who asked me to submit it.)

The text of my biography has already been reviewed and accepted by another editor (David notMD). With respect to my references, would it help if I included a list of my many publications? Please let me know specifically what I need to do so that you can remove your objection.

Sincerely, Michael H. L. Hecker. 7 April 2019. Michael H. L. Hecker (talk) 17:29, 7 April 2019 (UTC) 

_______________
Hi Michael H. L. Hecker, the article you submitted to AfC at User:Michael H. L. Hecker/sandbox was denied because for an article on Wikipedia to be accepted it should have secondary, reliable sources. Wikipedia itself cannot be used as a reference, so it would help with your submission if you removed links to Wikipedia articles as references. Whenever you feel like your draft is ready again you can always resubmit it for review. A side note is that, even if your article isn't an autobiography its submission is generally frowned upon as the self-creation of an article can introduce problems with conflict of interest. Hope this help. -Liancetalk/contribs 19:40, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

_________________

Dear Liance,

At your request, I have removed all Wikipedia references. (I had used them only to refer to persons, not to articles.) Also, I have added a section for my publications, (after my 10 references) so that readers can see that I was a well-known and respected scientist for more than 30 years.

Thanks again for your help. Michael H. L. Hecker 7 April 2019 Michael H. L. Hecker (talk) 00:44, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

When you feel you are ready there's should be a blue resubmit button near the top of your draft page. As you have a conflict of interest writing about yourself I strongly recommend disclosing your conflict of interest as per the link provided. -Liancetalk/contribs 01:13, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

_________________

Liance, I happen to agree with your apparent view about Marquis! They pass out titles to sell praise to undeserving people. The only reason I restored that item was because of the numbering of my references. I will now fix this problem by renumbering all references.

Thanks for pointing this out. Michael H. L. Hecker. 7 April 2019. Michael H. L. Hecker (talk) 01:28, 8 April 2019 (UTC) _________________

My last comment tonight: I need my two middle initials in the header line because Google often confuses me with a retired scientist named Michael Hecker, who is well-known in Germany.

I have read the fine print of the Specific Notability Criteria (academics) and made many changes in my biography draft to reflect these requirements. Please read the new version and let me know if we can proceed to publication.

Thank you for your time. Michael H. L. Hecker. April 10, 2019. Michael H. L. Hecker (talk) 22:17, 10 April 2019 (UTC) Michael H. L. Hecker (talk) 22:25, 10 April 2019 (UTC) __________________

Not me

Liance - Not me. As a favor to a fellow MIT graduate, I looked at Hecker's draft. I repeatedly advised him that in my opinion what he submitted did not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability. In part, I wrote that he was not referencing correctly, and that lots of content had no references. Hecker deleted all my comments on his Talk page. My last attempt at advice is at the bottom of my Talk page. David notMD (talk) 21:17, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Explanation

Dear David notMD and Liance,

David, I apologize for writing to Liance that you had approved the text of my biography. It was an incorrect assumption on my part. After you read my first draft, you advised me to provide references that would satisfy the notability requirements (for academics). Because, in my work, references are added at the end of an article, I thought that the text itself met with your approval. I did not understand what you meant. Now I know that the references have to be embedded in the text. That is why I have re-written and re-submitted my biography, hoping for a better outcome. Please excuse my former ignorance of “the rules”.

Sincerely, Michael H. L. Hecker. 15 April, 2019. Michael H. L. Hecker (talk) 15:38, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

________________

Dear Liance,

It appears that my successful career does not meet Wikipedia's high standards for notability. Therefore, I have removed My Biography from my Sandbox. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely, Michael H. L. Hecker. 16 April 2019. Michael H. L. Hecker (talk) 06:15, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Nilambur (State Assembly constituency)

Hi Liance,

This is with regards to the Wikipedia page submission on the Topic 'Nilambur (State Assembly constituency)' which was declined on 15th Aug'19 due to - not showing significant coverage about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Also there were insufficient references to the information provided. I have made an attempt to record all the references, both internal (Wikipedia) and a few external in order to substantiate the source of the information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akmal Hashim (talk • contribs) 19:26, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. It was an honest misunderstanding, I didn't know the button was meant for new articles only. Knowing what you've told me, I think the suggest an edit feature is best for updating the page. Thanks again Benstutzman (talk) 12:47, 25 April 2019 (UTC)Ben

Copyright of Memes

Hi, My page on copyright of memes was recently rejected for the reason that the subject matter already exists. I have searched for it and I don't think the subject matter already exists. There is a page on the EU Directive on copyright but that is different from the current piece as this talks about copyright in US and India. This article, as a standalone piece, gives a lot of information which is still not available on Wikipedia in a robust manner. If I club it with the existing page of internet memes it could create a lot of confusion because it provides information on the legal dimension of memes which deserves a separate page for those wishing to understand that aspect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DoYouEvenMemeBro (talk • contribs) 05:30, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi DoYouEvenMemeBro, I still feel like your draft may be better as an addition to Internet meme as it currently doesn't include any information on copyright, and it would fit well. You're welcome to continue working on your draft if you feel that it is notable enough to warrant an article on it by itself, however. I would recommend changing the lead section of your article to more clearly reflect that it discusses copyright on Internet memes, not Internet memes in itself. Hope this helps. -Liancetalk/contribs 17:52, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Request on 19:34:42, 29 April 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Skropper



Skropper (talk) 19:34, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback on my proposed page 'Steve Kropper' Can I tap you for some guidance

I did some searches to document third party sources.

For a search on Steve Kropper and the company I founded WindPole, there are 10,300 results of which I believe about 500 are relevant to my work developing data sets that help finance wind power farms. For a search on Steve Kropper and the company I founded Domania, there are 11,800 results of which 1500 are relevant to the way I changed consumer access to real estate information. For a search on Steve Kropper and immigration, there are 45,000 results of which I’d guess over 10,000 are relevant to my work asking whether our immigration policies hurt poor Americans. For a search on Steve Kropper and Parallel Wireless there are 10,600 results of which a few thousand are news, video and other coverage of the pioneering work I have done bringing broadband communications to the public safety sector. There are only 27 news stories about how I got 75 legislators in Massachusetts to ride public transit on the last day of winter to make them aware of the importance of proper system funding. There are thousands of other search results on my work in energy conservation, mass transit, advocacy for the Charles River in Boston, advocacy for children’s welfare.

Is the kind of citations you were taking about? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skropper (talk • contribs) 19:36, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Verbal Guidance

Hi Liance,

Thanks for reviewing my article. My colleagues and I worked on it together but we're still a little confused about which direction to take the submission. We think we'd really benefit from a (very) quick down and dirty phone call if you have just 5 minutes. my email is willis.cameron9@gmail.com. Would you have a second to give us some direct and explicit advice? Feel free to reply to my email address as I know this isn't orthodox, but I have to ask in any case.

Teahouse Hosts

Hello. Over at the Teahouse we're having a bit of a 'spring clean' by removing old entries from the list of Hosts that new users see. As you don't appear to have been very active there for some time, your 'host profile' has been removed from the list. But please don't let that put you off contributing again in the future - either by signing back up as a Host to assist on a regular basis, or just dropping in whenever you fancy helping out.

Thank you for all your past help and support for new users at the Teahouse. Nick Moyes (talk) 20:32, 9 June 2019 (UTC) "

Lonnie McFadden page

Hi, Liance: Many months ago I worked with a wiki-a-thon hosted by the library at the art museum in Kansas City, which promoted the creation of Wikipedia posts on African American artists from Kansas City. I submitted a page now called Draft: Lonnie McFadden. It was reviewed by Strauss in the House, and declined. The reason given was lack of inline citations. I corresponded with the reviewer and he said put in more inline citations. I did so. More than two months have passed. If I had a different reviewer would my piece be published? I just wonder if I've ended up on a dead end street, and if there is a way for me to have my piece indexed. Thanks for your help understanding what is going on. Anne Gatschet AG Kansas City (talk) 01:54, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi AG Kansas City - as of now, your article is in the articles for creation review queue, which means an editor should review the article within the next few weeks. They may deem the article suitable for inclusion if they feel that it fits Wikipedia's requirements for biographies. If possible, I would suggest adding more references to your article which may help to establish notability. Please let me know if there are any more questions. -Liancetalk/contribs 19:18, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
