Allegra Versace
If you want to, you can take a look at the article about Allegra Versace. That article is this weeks TAFI.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:17, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi BabbaQ - Thanks for the heads up. And always feel free to make suggestions here. But please don't get annoyed if I don't work on one of your suggestions. In this case, this article has zero interest for me. But if it had been something I was interested in, I definitely would have made an attempt to contribute. Cheers!

22:44:34, 2 November 2015 review of submission by Leahnaz
Hi Onel5969,
Thank you for your feedback again. I've made significant edits to the draft article and removed a lot of sentences that might be seen as advertising language. I've deleted most of the reviews section, but can also remove it if you think it would be more appropriate. Can you take a look at it when you're free and let me know what you think? I would like to resubmit it for review soon and would like your opinion before I do. Thanks a lot for your help, I believe I'm getting a better sense of how to edit Wikipedia articles. Leahnaz (talk) 22:44, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Leahnaz - Better, but still promotional. Readers don't care that "products at extremely reasonable costs", buyers do. There are still numerous selling points like that throughout the article. I know it's hard, because you care about the subject, but it has to be neutral. The reviews section is okay now, but the products and services is still quite promotional. Rule of thumb is that if the product isn't notable on its own, it probably should only get a mention, with a brief description if warranted. Hope this helps.

Hi!
Can you please help me with that article?

- Hi Mcadforg - what type of help do you need. The article was declined because some of it was simply cut and paste from two other websites. You simply need to delete that stuff and write about the content in your own words. Onel5969 TT me 17:04, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for review
Hello Onel, thank you for reviewing the article of AUCA, and the link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:AUCA. Thanks for your comment and I will rewrite it about the promotional sentences. This website is established in this year by a small company, so maybe we didn't have so many reliable sources except blogs and references we have provided. Our team are trying our best but it do need time to achieve it. I didn't mean to offend you, and I read your comment carefully, so does it mean that small websites like us has the slightest possibilities to be shown on Wikipedia? Hope you are well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anne Harper (talk • contribs) 08:02, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Anne Harper - no offense taken. Wikipedia has specific guidelines on what is, and is not, notable. The general guidelines may be found at WP:GNG, while more specific guidelines for companies and organizations may be found at WPNCORP. Blogs, in gerneral, are not valid references, since there is no editorial oversight. Likewise sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. To show notability, you'll need to have about 3 articles which go in-depth about the company, not mere mentions, listings, etc. Additionally, references have to be independedt of the subject, so you can't use the company's own website to show notability. Finally, articles need to be written in a neutral tone, without any advertising. Your article currently has a promotional tone, talking about customer needs, etc. Hope this helps.

from Svartalxeym
Hi. Thank you for the message. The previous user had told me that I need tu use more sources for submission of the article for the review. Now you are this is not notable. The guy has exposed high level corruption at the embassy and many media outlets have published it, including Radi Free Europe. What else is needed it to be notable? Is there anything clear way that the author should take??

- Hi Svartalxeym - SwisterTwister rightly asked you to provide more sources so we could evaluate the article better. However, now that the article is properly sourced, it seems pretty clear to me that this is a case of WP:BIO1E, since outside of that incident, he's led a pretty non-notable life. In addition, the article is very one-sided, giving the appearance that this guy is completely correct. Not saying he's not, but the charges don't appear to have been validated (and they may never be if there is that much corruption). Onel5969 TT me 15:44, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

- Of course I'll help you with the article. Can't promise it will get published, haven't really evaluated it regarding notability yet (because of the Citekill issue). But once you work on the citations, I'll be more than happy to take another look. Regarding the citations, rarely are more than 2 ever needed, so where you have more than 2, pick the best 2 (from the most reputable source and the most in-depth), and also please take a look at WP:CIT on how to format citations. Here are some other helpful links you might want to look at:

10:03:14, 5 November 2015 review of submission by HayC2
Hi there, thank you for reviewing my draft. I had some trouble providing secondary sources. Could you give me guidance on which of my citations are not considered verifiable? Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks. (HayC2 (talk) 10:03, 5 November 2015 (UTC)))
- Hi HayC2 - First, links to advertising sites shouldn't be used. Second, the article is about the person, but most of the citations is about the company. There are a few which simply mention the subject. Interviews, by their very nature, are primary sources, and can't be used for notability purposes. In additon, the last citation, the interview, also appears to be a PR piece. Beware of sources which list websites and contact information for the company, those are usually PR's put out by the company and passing as news articles. Also, if you find citations for him, please see WP:CIT on how to properly format citatiosn. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 22:06, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bil! Have you considered applying to be one, I wonder(?) — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| — 12:01, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Gareth Griffith-Jones - I have considered it. I think I could be of a bit more assistance if I could do certain tasks, such as the deletion question above. If an existing admin were to nominate me, I would most likely accept and go through the RFA process (which I understand can be pretty unnerving). A year ago I don't think I would have been ready, and would probably have taken it personally. Btw...long time no speak, o original wiki-mentor of mine... how have you been?

Help with AfC Submission for Bullhorn, Inc.
Hi Onel5969 - I'm writing about an article for creation submission that you reviewed on 5 November for Bullhorn, Inc. Thanks for the review. I've made deliberate attempts to ensure that the content is purely factual and cited from independent sources, so I'm hoping you can help me understand where in the article you think that might not be the case. I've made some minor edits to try and address a couple places that you might have been concerned with, but thought it was worth checking with you directly before resubmitting the draft.

Thanks for any help you can provide. TigersTale00 (talk) 19:39, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi TigersTale00 - When you tell a reader why the product benefits its users, gives them insights, etc. That's selling the product. When you talk about how a company positioned itself, that's promotional. There's also an issue regarding notability. Take a look at WP:NCORP, and then at WP:ROUTINE. Most of your articles would fall into the latter category, being routine announcements and notices in trade magazines. The St. Louis article would be nice, if it were in-depth, but it's just another brief announcement. No one is saying that the article isn't factual. But an article can be factual, and still be promotional. It's short, to the point, and well structured, and I especially appreciate the way you've taken the time to properly format the citations (that's a pet bugaboo of mine). The company exists, the company is well run -- but is it notable? Can you find some non-Boston articles which talk about the company (not press releases)? That would help. Onel5969 TT me 23:18, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I reverted vandalism to the lead paragraph of Amit Jain. I then trimmed your PROD nomination accordingly. However, perhaps you'd better take another look to see whether you still think it should be deleted. – Fayenatic London 22:14, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Fayenatic london - Thanks for the heads up, and yes, I'll let it stand. My point was that regardless of which person the article was speaking of, neither appeared to meet the notability standards. There is a person of this name who might pass notability standards, as they are the head of Uber India, but this actor passes neither WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. But again, I really appreciate the heads up.

Hi!
Why isn't the article on Celeste Star considered "notable"? I've added info about her appearances in mainstream media as well as all the nominations received. As I understand it, these are criteria for a person from the adult industry being considered "notable" enough for Wikipedia.
Holanthony (talk) 15:56, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Holanthony - As I said in my comments on the draft, she doesn't meet the notability standards for an adult film actress, and her mainstream film resume is too slim to meet WP:NACTOR, but it might be a case of WP:TOOSOON, and if her mainstream credits increase she might qualify.

Dear Onel5969, Thank you for your feedback. I have submitted a Wikipedia page draft for my company INKONIQ, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:INKONIQ and you have rejected citing it as highly promotional. I have done extra research on all Wikipedia guidelines and then submitted it after getting it reviewed on the Wikipedia Live chat.

Hi there!
My username is hillcoulson and I am trying to get up a Wiki page on my boss Eric Wong, the Executive VP / General Manager of Island Records. Here is a draft of the article in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Eric_Wong

What can I do to improve the reliability of my sources and get this article published? Thanks in advance for your help.

- Hi LW1588 - I know (believe me, I know) that it can be confusing when you first start editing. It does get easier. The biggest issue is the formatting of the citations. I've formatted the first one, to give you an example of how to properly format them. The link SwisterTwister and I both gave you, WP:CIT, gives examples of other types of citations (e.g. books, newspapers, etc). If there is an author, you should definitely include them, same with a page number, and a date of publication. If you found it on the web, you should definitely include the web link, for ease of verification.
- There are two basic types of citations, those that verify a fact in the article (the first citation which I formatted is an example of that), and those that go to determine notability. The first citation is from an affiliated organization, his employer, so it' invalid for notability purposes, but can definitely be used for verification purposes. Galleries where their work is shown, the artists' own website, commercial sites where they might have their stuff for sale, all are invalid for notability. What is good for notability is in-depth articles from reliable, independent sources about the subject. I hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 23:11, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Onel5969. You may recall assessing this draft some time ago. I have cleaned the copy vio and ask if you have time to check it and see if the draft is ready for main space. Thanks, -- Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:23, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Diannaa - I've been going through the G13 eligible articles looking for stuff like this the last week, and haven't found any, and then you find one I worked on. Go figure. Yup, I feel it's good to go now. Copyvio check didn't reveal any issues, and that was my only problem with moving it to mainspace back in April. Had a slight formatting issue with section headers (fixed now), but other than that, well-sourced, well-structured, meets notability requirements. Do you want to resubmit and ping me and I'll move it? Onel5969 TT me 16:31, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

UrbanToronto.ca Draft
Hello Onel5969!
I've updated the Draft:UrbanToronto.ca again and removed a lot of components that could be construed as promotional. Would you mind taking another look at it? Would love your feedback!
Thanks Be McD87 (talk) 17:32, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Be McD87 - The promotional tone is now gone. Nice job. The issue is the notability. Reddit is not a reliable source, and the other 5 are mere mentions, so notability hasn't been established. #2 is a good cite for that fact. And get rid of 3 of the other sources - personally I'd keep the Globe and Mail and the Metro News. But you need at least 3 good in-depth articles about the site from independent sources. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 23:48, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

regarding a prod deprod
Re: [1]. Removed prods should not be restored BUT "This excludes removals that are clearly not an objection to deletion, such as page blanking, mass removals or obvious vandalism; additionally, tags removed by banned users may also be restored." In this case, there's a consensus on anon's talk page that his was WP:POINT anti-prod vandalism; he has used more than one IP address for that - it's clear this is not AGF deprodding, but someone disrupting the project. Through in this case I agree AfD should be a way to go, but not because of the prod issue, but because of WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. PS. I did restore it at [2] per the rationale cited; I'll be reviewing other related cases and seeing where the prod should be restored. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:06, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello!
I received feedback for my article on Maralou Gray (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Maralou_Gray) from SwisterTwister, who had pinged you on my draft as an interested colleague. I was hoping to get some more clarification in order for the article to be accepted, and hoping you can help me!
A lot of the references we have for Maralou's information are in articles published back in the 1940s-1960s, which of course aren't readily available online but we do have the hard copy clippings. Is that not adequate enough for Wikipedia? If these articles were scanned and uploaded, would that work?
If this isn't an option, would it help if I edited and shortened the article down so that just the information that can be referenced is written? There are several online articles from the Los Angeles Times dating back to the 1980s where she is mentioned and quoted, and that is a verifiable source.
Thank you in advance! BioWriter818 (talk) 06:17, 12 November 2015 (UTC)BioWriter818

Pianogac (talk) 16:17, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Pianogac - The WOW review definitely goes to notability. The Steinway citation goes to verifying that she received the award, but doesn't go to notability - there are very few piano competitions which winning is automatic qualification for notability. The Alina Garcia piece is a mere mention, so doesn't really help notability. And unfortunately, since anyone can upload to YouTube, it's not considered a reliable source. But here's the thing, the reference you have regarding Alina Garcia? If that had been centered on Jegunova, that would be a very good source. Hope this helps.

Mathers Museum of World Cultures page submission
I am a bit at a loss as to how I might improve my draft page for the Mathers Museum of World Cultures.
Add citations to […] secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject.
I will note that I have already included a citation to a piece published by the journal published by the Society for Applied Anthropology’s, and that the SfAA is entirely independent of the Mathers Museum of World Cultures.
The references to the MMWC pieces are, to be sure, citations to the institutions’ own bulletin. This is not to say that they are hastily dashed off copy with no regard for fact-checking. The Mathers is, after all, a component institution of one of the “top 100 national universities in the United States and the top 50 public universities in the country.”
Please [provide] clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia.
The Mathers is already included in this very encyclopedia, albeit only as a dead link on your own List of museums with major collections in ethnography and anthropology. The institution is also accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. I shall edit the draft to make note of this fact.
MateoTimateo (talk) 15:48, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi MateoTimateo - for notability purposes, you'll need another couple like the SFAA one (from other sources). The fact that it is on a list doesn't mean it's notable, simply that it exists. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 17:21, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
thanks for your reply re Olga Jegunova draft article
You refer to the Alina article and say it would have been good if it had centred on Olga Jegunova.
I quote from the article: "Enter Nadine, once again full of inspiration and contacts. In a whirlwind of activity she recruited concert pianist Olga Jegunova who in turn found soprano Kirstin Sharpin. A crew was already recording Olga for a concert courtesy of the BBC and could also record our piece. The owners of the lovely home and hosts for the charitable concert graciously allowed it to serve as our backdrop, and a wonderful editor was found – recommended by the BBC gang. All was in place and the result was magical!"
NB The "result was magical!" This result only happened because Olga played the piano (and found the singer) - how much more central does a person have to be?!
Can you please explain your thoughts on this?
Cheers

Prior to revising and resubmitting my article on Melissa VanFleet, can you please specify an example (other than the citation formatting and footnotes) what needs to be fixed in the article? I saw where it said peacock terms were used in the review but everything is factual and has a citation to go along with it. Thank you! VMetalMedia (talk) 21:31, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi VMetalMedia - that's a canned response when an editor chooses the NPOV selection. Your article doesn't have many Peacock terms, although there are few: "prowess", "accomplished", and "major" are a few examples. With your article, it's more a tone, with phrases like "She says she was always a perfectionist and, hardly old enough to write", "she decided to include"; while phrases such as "She sold her debut LP Metal Lullabies exclusively on tour in April 2015 and the album was officially released in her online store" are camoflouge to say that she was self-published. Also, I'm not sure that playing at 4 Hard Rock Cafes in Europe qualifies as her "headlining European tour". Hope this helps. Good luck with the article. Onel5969 TT me 23:08, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello! Thanks so much for the reply. I have resubmitted and a reviewer said the neutral tone was better; however, it has been denied again because my sources are not considered independent of the subject to show notability. I am confused because all of my sources are newspapers, magazines, web-based periodicals and websites about the topic. The previous three times it was not accepted were things that I was able to fix - statements were unsourced, citations weren't written correctly - but this is the first time I am hearing anything about notability. I guess I am just confused because I see many Wikipedia pages on a daily basis that do not have half of the sources that my draft has and I am wondering why this would be the case. Thanks again for your time and all of your help through this tiring, frustrating process. I really appreciate it!VMetalMedia (talk) 07:08, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

19:35:37, 17 November 2015 review of submission by Ktan57
Hey, I submitted this article and it has been taken down for the reason that it didn't sound like a encyclopedia article, and that I've primary sources. I can change the tone and the wording of the article, however, after looking at my bibliography again, I've noticed that all of sources are fairly credible. I've posted this article because I am in a part of a university class that requires me to post an article, and the project requires me to use sources that are peer-reviewed journal articles. All of my sources are peer-reviewed journal articles, therefore I cannot really remove and replace these sources as I will fail this project if I choose to use secondary sources. I don't understand why my article was removed. I'd like to know why, and how we can compromise to work this out.
- Hi Ktan57 - It wasn't the sources, but the tone. This is an essay, written in an informal tone. Use of phrases such as "as with", "therefore", etc. are essay-like, like comments on talk pages. Articles state facts, don't draw conclusions, and offer no commentary. Take the following sentence: "While it is important to have good support from a positive role model, it is also important for a pilot to be a positive figure while flying." - highly subjective. An objective sentence (if there was a citation provided) would read something like "Studies show that pilots who have a positive attitude while flying have higher performance ratings and better safety records." See the difference? I'm not commenting, I'm stating a fact (if there were a citation, which for the purposes of this example I'm pretending is available). And you're article wasn't "taken down", it was simply declined as not being ready to be moved to the mainspace. Right now it needs a complete overhaul, since the entire thing reads as an opinion essay. I hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 19:49, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Regarding Draft:Giancarlo Corsetti
Just wanted to point out that declining Draft:Giancarlo Corsetti per notability was notoriously mistaken. His work has got almost 13000 citations, which more than fulfills just one of WP:PROF's criteria. Primary sources are in these cases usually the only sources available, and it is our job at AfC to gauge notability, not referencing (unless other policies come into play, such as BLP). That's what mainspace does a good job at resolving. In any case, academics don't have the coverage most other people would expect per general notability, but it takes quite some training to assess academic notability, so I just wanted to highlight this case for you. Have a nice rest of the week, FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 23:56, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi FoCuSandLeArN - I'll respectfully disagree with you on this one. Although I should have used the "v" rather than the bio decline. I do that on bios, because the canned response for the bio is better for guiding a new editor than the canned response for the v. When I reviewed it the references consisted of 14 of Giancarlo's own writings plus a single blog, albeit a rather reputable one. Per the flow chart on the AfC project page, that's a clear decline. However, I definitely could have used the more specific "prof" decline, which could have pointed the editor to WP:PROF. Regardless, take it easy. Onel5969 TT me 01:29, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Dear Editor,
Thank you for your comments on Mads Munk and M2. I will submit a page for M2 in the future. I would to like to ask a question: Mads Munk has now been interviewed in British magazine and website Square Mile - a 4 pp interview on him alone (in addition to a stand alone interview in Wallpaper online and a long interview section with him in a Scandinavian Traveller feature on his hometown in Denmark, and quotes in the Financial Times). Will this be enough to demonstrate Mads notability? I am posting below a snapshot of the first half page google results for Mads. In your opinion, does this qualify as notability? I would appreciate very much your advice in this matter. Best Wishes, Hastingsbella.

- Hi HastingsBella - I'm not sure what all that above is. But the bottom line is that you'll need about 3 in-depth articles about the subject from independent reliable sources to show the subject's notable.

I'm requesting a re-review because the post isn't intended to advertise the business, but simply to explain a bit about the organisation.
Would cutting the article down significantly so everything is referenced to reliable 3rd party sources help?

easy to prove WP:NACTOR
Check out another star role at the new article Come Away Home. Schmidt, Michael Q. 03:14, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi MichaelQSchmidt - nice job on the article! Was going to create it at some point in the near future (after researching for the AfD discussion). I've been working on this one article about Samuel J. Briskin for about 2 weeks now. And probably another week to go. Take it easy. Onel5969 TT me 04:46, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. Others are always welcome to work on and expand articles I create, but I really dislike it when a nominator does not do proper WP:BEFORE and essentially gives a WP:JNN nomination statement. Oh well. Even though poor AFDs often results in improvements, it is usually not the nom's wish to be shown as making an incorrect assessment. Schmidt, Michael Q. 06:18, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi. I think you have to WP:AGF on AfD noms. I know that every single nom I've made as been in good faith. When I was newer to the process I made some mistakes (like not knowing about WP:BEFORE - and simply going by what was currently in the article), but there have been times when I've simply blown it. In some instances, I'm not sure why. Perhaps I mistyped the subject name in the search engines? I don't know. But I know I've had at least two like that, where after I've nominated it another editor comes along and can quickly find dozens of cites. Other times, the normal searches turn up zero, but then another editor (TokyoGirl's done it for me two or three times), has access to more source databases (or foreign language sources). Other times I simply didn't understand a nuance of an underlying specific guideline (e.g. NFOOTY, PORNBIO), while other times, there is a supposed consensus, which is really based on an essay, not a guideline, which I disagree with, but a small percentage of other editors are passionate about (e.g. SCHOOLOUTCOMES), so I now simply refrain from participating in those discussions. Sometimes I simply disagree with another editor's interpretation of one of the guidelines. Most of the WP:BEFORE issues I come across are simply those which are unaware of the process (they don't participate much in AfD), although it is clear that some editors who do participate still simply go by the current citations. What really bugs me are editors who vote arbitrarily, e.g. in one instance they will say something along the lines, "well, I think that an X of a certain size or ranking is clearly notable", while in other discussions they use exactly the opposite rationale. Regardless, nice to *talk* with you. And again, nice work on the article. Take it easy. Onel5969 TT me 13:04, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

I just need your opinion and help as I want to get this to the mainspace without it being deleted. Before when YES it wasn't notable for Wikipedia it was deleted. Though the article now has gone through massive improvements! People are saying its not notable because of a one event issue. Please look at the sources! Thank You - Dmitry

Beau Ideal
Hello, I am slightly surprised by your second revert. I am sure you are aware of the terms of WP:IUP and WP:OWN and of the fact many articles on PD films are illustrated with the films themselves when they are available on Commons. I am generally thanked for taking the trouble to upload these films on Commons and inserting them in articles, not twice reverted. How can we work out a compromise ? Cheers, — Racconish ☎ 17:10, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Racconish - Nothing to do with WP:OWN. The first time I reverted was because your insert completely messed up the formatting of the entire article, but at that point I thought it was a simple image of the title card from the film, not realizing it was a video link. The second time I reverted because the link to the video is already in EL, as I explained in my revert, so adding that video link is redundant. I think the link is sufficient, but feel free to discuss it on the talk page of the article and get input from other editors (you might want to post a link to the discussion on the film project, since I don't think many folks have that article on their watchlist). If the consensus is to put that video link rather than a simple external link, of course I'll abide by that. But can you point to a single GA or FA film article which has such a link? I think that's the standard we should use, since it's the goal to get articles in as good shape as possible. Onel5969 TT me 01:26, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Take the Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Silent films task force to which I belong. For all films which have subsisted and are PD, particularly FA, a video illustrates the article (e.g. A Cure for Pokeritis and Gertie the Dinosaur). I think there is a consensus to consider the film itself has a high EV in the article (e.g. File:Night of the Living Dead (1968).webm and File:The Mystery of the Leaping Fish (1916).webm). I would be surprised if you could find one FA or GA on a film for which there is a copy at Commons and where the film itself does not illustrate the article. Cheers, — Racconish ☎ 09:17, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I just made a few changes to the article that you reviewed a few days ago. May you tell me if I should make more changes to the article and what is need to fix it?
thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rain Gregorio Gorilla Stationers (talk • contribs) 17:18, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Rain Gregorio Gorilla Stationers - Here's the thing, you need in-depth coverage from independent, secondary sources. Press releases are not independent, 2 of your 7 sources are pr, and business listings, like that in Blomberg are supplied by the company, so they're not independent either. Blogs and Yelp are not reliable sources, 2 of the 7 are from those sites. Sources from the subject's own website are not independent, that's another one of your sites. Which leaves you with only the last remaining citation, which I can't evaluate since it's a pay site. You'll need at least 3 in-depth pieces (2 more, assuming the one I can't see is a good one), in order to show notability. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 02:05, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
How else to establish notability??
Hi,
I have cited all the relevant and big publications, blogs etc which has either reported on PolicyX.com or have carried a blog/article from us. What else do you require to establish notability. Does getting featured in India's top newspapers, financial and blog sites not enough for you guys to establish notability of a company. I have posted 'verifiable third party content' as stated in your guidelines, get them verified. Not every company can be a FB, Google or Microsoft. This is really strange at your end to not be ready to accept the links as notable. Should we get featured in New York Times or Mirror to establish notability..??
Tusharapj (talk) 05:35, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Dear Editor - You mention that we needed 3+ independent notable editorial sources to support this entry. Which we do have. Here is a little more information about them below - they are all either major national or international titles. Please advise if this will be enough for us to make a new entry and for Mads Munk to qualify as notable? There are also many Danish sources - in Danish - but we wanted this to be an English language version - do you suggest we add in all the links to media sources in the Danish media as well even though they are in Danish language?
If you would be very kind and let us know if you think this is enough - then we will go ahead and re-post.
Many thanks - HastingsBella

I would greatly appreciate your help.Susana Hodge (talk) 09:24, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Susana Hodge - not a bad plan to follow the format of a major article like WF. Problem is, even though it's a large article, it's a bit promotional. Most articles about companies are, however, it has such a breadth of other information which dilutes the promotional focus of the article. When you have a small article, and a 1/4 of it is services, that's promotional right off the bat. If your history, etc. was 10 x as big, wouldn't be such an issue. Add to that the funding piece (which again, in a larger article isn't promotional, but in a small article becomes problematic), and again, the two sentences in the lead which are promotional: "The service allows users to make instant direct deposits within its network of banks. The company offers money transfer from 45 US states to Mexico, India and Philippines." And the overall effect is promotional. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 20:24, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for the very detailed response. There are so many messages on your page. I don't know how you do it. Kudos. I have edited the article. Removed the services part entirely. Also, the direct bank deposit line. I didn't remove the 45 states to mexico line. I feel that it is important to add since the company does not offer its service world wide, not even from all of the US states. Resubmitted it for review.Susana Hodge (talk) 05:43, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Draft:School of Journalism and Mass Communications
Hi, Onel5969. Thank you for reviewing my draft: [25]. I do have a question... or rather, a request. Could you give me an example of a correct citation? I have looked over TeaHouse and the wiki guidelines and I think I may have misunderstood what is required. Thank you! Cravennn (talk) 14:27, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Cravennn - Sure thing. First, there are two types of citations those for notability and those for verifiability. Your citations are fine for the latter. For notability, a reference can't be associated with the subject, so anything which has to do with the University doesn't count, or things published by folks associated with the University, or press releases. Second, it needs to be in-depth, so listings and mentions don't work. Third, it needs to be reliable, so blogs and social network sites are verboten (I don't think this is an issue in your article, but wanted to mention it for future reference). Fourth, the reference actually needs to talk about the subject. For excample the creatathon reference doesn't mention the school at all. The Editor and Publisher piece would be excellent, if it was focused on the school, and not that one program, but still good. What to look for is in-depth pieces from independent reliable sources, and that usually means newspapers and magazines. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 20:43, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

- That's perfectly fine. You could create some drama and problems if the article is published too quickly, isn't really ready and get taken to AFD or the like as the person who was working on it shouldn't have to go through that on their work. I'd make sure that the person created it hasn't edited in say a year before doing that sort of thing (IP addresses are a little more tricky) but if you're working on village articles, that's fine. Also, notice that the bot overtakes the talk page and removes all the prior WikiProject I had put here so it's no longer in the Indian cities project the like. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:28, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

This is my first contribution, which has been in progress for several months.
I am modeling the information after the following references, and looking at using the same if not more sources that they currently include: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouidad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol%27s_Daughter and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sephora
Unlike Ouidad and Carol's daughter, DevaCurl has been the categorical market leader in the curly hair industry, has originated the methodology and the deva cut, and is featured as a leading product in over 300 Sephora's nationwide. What's unclear to me is how smaller companies with less notoriety are able to be approved with fewer 3rd party references, and less information present.
- Hi Joshbelke, and welcome to Wikipedia. Don't worry about other articles. That's an other stuff exists argument, and is never effective when you point to inferior works. I didn't comment on your sourcing, but the fact that your article reads like an advertisement. Articles tell us about a subject, articles attempt to sell us a product. Don't go on about products and services. Don't use peacock terms (I don't think you did in your article, but just including it as reference). Don't tell us about "missions" or how founders were "committed"... those are objective commentary. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 02:31, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

- Hi Zigzig20s, and thanks. That was an exhaustive one for me. I'm pretty sure Bernard is mentioned in the obit (cite #1), which I can't open at work to verify. I had seen his name all over the place, and at the last minute noticed there was a family connection, so I know I cited it. Let me know if that's not it, and I'll look back over my browser history and see which one it is. But no, other than the family mention in the obit, there's no other place where more than a single family connection is mentioned. Take it easy. Onel5969 TT me 20:48, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

- Excellent Zigzig20s! At some point I'm going to do an article on Irving (one of the founders of Screen Gems). I don't know if you know about it but Media History Digital Project is an excellent resource for the silent and golden film ages. It's a bit labor intensive, since you have to look at each collection and search, but that's what I did for Samuel. Usually I get specific, like when searching for stuff about a particular film I always uses quotes, i.e. "China Passage", and I usually do that with names as well, like "Russell Gleason". But with Sam I simply put in the last name, Briskin. Got lots of hits on Irving and Murray, and got a few on Bernard, but only like 10 or so on the other son, Jerry. I tend to be methodical about it, going issue by issue. I don't go through each magazine, because some aren't geared to all aspects of film. For example, for actors, I don't usually go through American Cinematographer, but do look there for DP's (obviously), but also for producers - there's not much there on producers, but sometimes you get a nice tidbit (like the one I got on Sam's thriftiness - which was then backed up in other articles). I do look through Modern Screen, Sceenland, Photoplay and Silver Screen for actors, but you won't find much on production folks in those - sometimes they are good for films. But on Bernard's article - look at the sources I used in Sam's article, that' where I would guess you'd find the best references. Of course, I also have a Newspaper subscription (through Wikipedia), and I use that as well. Hope this helps, and good luck. Let me know if you need a hand.

I am Dinowin..I have worked on Nashik Wine Industry page. It was declined as due to not enough content in the article and was suggested to merge the content in Nashik page. I have moved the whole content in Nashik page.
Thanks for your support.
- Hi Dinowin - Excellent job! One thing, it's not necessarily that there wasn't enough for it's own article, but that it will probably be more helpful for readers if it is on the main article for the community. Folks who might otherwise miss the wine article, since they are only looking up the community, will now be able to see it. Anyway, again, nice job, happy editing!

Constructive
Hi,
In what way was it not constructive? It's actual content from the page and has actual confirmed DNA information which has not been on the page before this. Who are you and why will you not allow the truth to be posted as per the cited sites and actual DNA results?

- Hi Haggisnneeps - not sure what part of this independent citation you don't understand. Onel5969 TT me 14:31, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Rafic_Nakib Why can't the same reviewer look at the same page after I edit it? The two before you said it lacks of sources, and I sohuld add why this person is notable. After adding that you come to say that my added refrences are over the top and I am using peacock terms. I added dozens of published links in english and arabic but you are still saying u need "reliable sources". With all the links i added from many arabic websites, and from cnn, bbc, ny times, daily mail etc.. you are still doubting the sources as unreliable. In the last section The awards are linked to refrences in arabic but with photos showing this same man receiving the awards mentionned. I am writing an arabic version, but i want to get done with the english one first. So if you see some over the top terms, remove them or modify them instead of rejecting the entire article! — Preceding unsigned comment added by PoppyJr78 (talk • contribs) 15:50, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi PoppyJr78 - Don't worry, won't ever look at the article again. Take it easy. Onel5969 TT me 15:57, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

I believe that this kind of information is important to motivate other people to explore various fields of studies. In this case, I represent primatology. Please visit this website http://www.ufh.ac.za/centres/apies/ to see the authenticity of this article, find Ntuthuzelo Makhasi, in addition to that google Ntuthuzelo Makhasi or the references given. Thank you very much
- Hi Ntuthuzelo Makhasi - never questioned the article's authenticity. But does it meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines? Difficult to ascertain in it's current condition, which is why I gave you several links to show you how to format and structure your article, how to use and format citations, etc. Good luck with it.Onel5969 TT me 16:15, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Regarding for Article creation
Hi Onel5969,
I created article for company in sandbox and submit to review. all reviews came same reply. Kindly check this url https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:GCC_Exchange and can you help me to improve my article. my user id is murthykmd
Thanks in Advance, Regards, Murthy
- Hi Murthykmd - First, whenever leaving a comment, please make sure that you "sign" it with the ~~~~. That let's editors quickly link to your user page (rather than typing in your user name as you did above). Second, regarding your article, to show notability, you'll need 2-3 in-depth articles from reliable, independent sources. Usually that means magazines, newspapers or books. They can't be press releases or from sites affiliated with the subject of the article (as you currently have). And they should be at least several paragraphs long and focused on the article's subject. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 15:15, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Please check if still considered as advertising.
Hi Onel5969, My username is Bayu Candra, S.E. Thank you for reviewing my article. However you have not accepted my article at this URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:IFFINA. You gave reason that my article was considered more like an advertisement.
Actually i was trying to get more deep information about IFFINA. Because previous reviewer before you, left me message something like "Just need more deep 3rd party references" or some thing like that. I was tried to get more deep by getting more information from some news websites, but seem the result look more like advertisement article from your perspective.
After read your message i am checking my article straightforward. I think the part that make my article look like advertisement was at the "History". I have made some improvement now, especially at part "President give appreciation to the event..." at year 2015, "Minister give appreciation..." at year 2013, and "Visitor more than expected...". Some sentence have been changed, some i just remove.
Could you please help me to see if i have improved what seem not right from your perspective. Otherwise could you please give me more advice.
Thank you in advance.
- Hi Bayu Candra, S.E. - First, when you leave a message on someone's talk page, or on an article's talk page, always sign it with the four tildas: ~~~~. That helps editors link directly to you (rather than simply typing your username as you did above). Second, regarding your article. Yes, it is much less promotional now, but I can't comment on the notability. It appears to be notable, but I haven't checked out the references. Third, you might want to write the history section in prose, rather than as bullet points, since that is the preferred format, but if not, that's okay as well. Hope this helps.

Overlinking
Hi. Just a quick thing, about the American Sniper page. I don't see how the two instances of linking (once where Clint Eastwood was linked twice in the infobox, and once where Bradley Cooper was linked twice in the infobox) are different. Is it just that there's one line between the two Clint Eastwoods, and seven between the two Bradley Coopers in the infobox? PeterTheFourth (talk) 15:19, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi PeterTheFourth - You are correct there is no difference. My prior revert was incorrect. Somehow I thought they were unlinking Cooper's name in the cast list, not a dupe link in the infobox. I've self-reverted. Thanks for pointing it out. Take it easy. Onel5969 TT me 15:26, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Review of citations
Hello. You gave me some advice about preparing a page for the artist Tighe O'Donoghue/Ross which you had declined on 9 Sept due to not enough citations and those given weren't formatted well. You said I should let you know when I had reviewed the material and was ready for it to be looked at again. Could you do so now, when you are able? Your assistance is really appreciated. The link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Tighe_O'DonoghueRoss. Thank you. Garranes (talk) 15:40, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Absolutely, Garranes - Just took a look. The citations look a lot better. I tweaked the first three to give you a slightly better idea. The early career section needs references. Other than that, I think it's good to go. Nice job. After you make the corrections, resubmit it and hit me back and I'll move it to mainspace. Onel5969 TT me 02:23, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Question - Do I need to use the citation templates all the time? I had trouble getting things to look right at times and finally entered some of them manually instead. I'm not really sure which other citations need improvement?! Is the early career section OK now? Thanks very much. Your help is much appreciated.Garranes (talk) 19:23, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
17:45:57, 30 November 2015 review of submission by Graciewinchester5
Hello! I am a bit confused as to what is not credible about my post. Would it help to remove the citation that has anything to do with the Drilling Company website? This has been a tradition in the city for as long as I can remember, so I am hoping to make this work for the encyclopedia somehow.
Did I cite anything incorrectly? Do you not accept the theatre company's website as a source at all? Should I get rid of it all together?
Thank you.
- Hi Graciewinchester5 - part of the issue is that you included "raw links", rather than using those links as citations, which would have helped dramatically. I've converted one into a reference. I think once you do that, it'll be okay. Let me know when you do and I'll take another look. Onel5969 TT me 02:38, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
