The article is up for deletion as it is an unreferenced WP:BLP, fails to establish notability, and is an autobiography. Autobiographies are strongly discouraged on Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Autobiography). MatthewVanitas (talk) 14:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I hope this article is effective in presenting the results of the upcoming Canadian election on 2 May, 2011. Thanks!

Hi Cp1123,
A few suggestions to tackle while waiting for the election results to be declared.

Hello, as I am actually writing my master thesis about employer attractivity in the engineering service field, I thought it would be a good example to create this page about MATIS, in order to see if there's an impact concerning visibility, CI, etc.

Thanks for your feedback

I have improved the placement of the fotos...but one is not centered well. Grateful if you could fix that pls. Is the article ready to launch? Thanks.

Wendyroseberry (talk) 09:46, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article is already "launched" since it's off your Userspace and into the article mainspace. It's decent enough to survive as an article, so doesn't appear to be in any immediate danger of deletion. So far as centring: don't centre photos, there's just no way to make it look good on all computer screens. Pick "left" or "right" and put that in the pic code [[File:Examplepic|thumb|200px|right]].

I have created a draft this article and would like feedback so it can be submitted. Thanks!


Thank you! I have updated the footnotes but do not know how to change the title of the page. Please let me know what else should be corrected!

Greetings, the article isn't ready yet as it doesn't establish WP:Notability. Please see Wikipedia:Biography for details on how notability must be established, and how basic facts in a bio of a living person (WP:BLP) must all be substantiated by footnotes to prevent inaccuracy or libel. Note also that titles/honorifics/degrees are not used in article titles. MatthewVanitas (talk) 14:18, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated the footnotes but do not know how to change the title of the page. Please let me know what else should be corrected! Douglasskr (talk) 14:37, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved your article from your Userpage to the main article space, under the proper title. The footnotes could still use improving from more neutral, third-party sources (leans too heavily currently on JBMTI sources themselves); however that's not insurmountable, so I've just tagged it {primary} for now. One thing that definitely does need to be fixed though: article needs Categories. Make sure to apply the most specific categories possible. That is, not "Psychology", but "American psychologists" or whichever. I'm not familiar with psych cats, so please poke around at the sub-categories of Category:Psychologists and see which one or more categories need to be added to the bottom of your article.

Hi folks, please help me improve this article. Thanks.

Article has some major issues with WP:POV and WP:SYNTH: it takes various events (which are properly footnoted), but merges them together to prove a point, and also phrases it in an accusatory tone. It is evident that the intent of the article is to criticise rather than inform. MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:13, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know if this article can be posted. I have noticed other similar articles on software. Kind regards, Paula

I have several sources, some of which are cited by number, but duplicated in the bulleted list. Should I remove those that are cited by number from the bulleted list, or leave them in both locations?


Fleckerl (talk) 16:37, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you've used them in footnotes, you don't need to repeat on a bulleted list. Main thing: your article needs Categories. Check out similar articles for ideas, and apply the most specific cats possible (i.e. not "Jordan", "Archaeology", etc.). MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:50, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ronn Torossian article has been completely redone in last few days by biased user. Please assist in removing BLP. --greenbay1313 (talk) 18:21, 31 March 2011 (UTC) greenbay1313 (talk) 18:21, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greenbay has been forum shopping in an attempt to get help on this issue. Please see the discussion at Wikipedia:BLPN#Ronn Torossian 2 to avoid creating separate branches of discussion about the same topic. GorillaWarfare talkcontribs 20:27, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering whether this is a worthy category.

Technikilor 21:02, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you take the question to WP:WikiProject Film. Also, when mentioning (vice assigning) categories, make sure to put a colon in the brackets: [[:Category:Example]], otherwise it will automatically put whatever page you're on in that category, instead of just displaying the word. I fixed it for you. MatthewVanitas (talk) 21:17, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Need an editor to review the article and remove the "new article" template.

The article details the history and notability of the new translation of the bible called the "New American Bible Revised Edition." The NABRE has a strong claim to notability because the USCCB--copyright owners of the previous version NAB--have required all Catholic churches and schools using the NAB to switch versions over the next 18 months. In essence, the NABRE will fully replace the use of the NAB text over the next year and a half.

I'd love feedback as this is my first article--I did try to adhere to all the requirements posted in the Wiki How-to's and I've been working on the full body of the article for about 12 hours+ total. Hopefully y'all will consider it time well-spent!

Tethered Formation Flying was created as a stand alone page and taken from part of tether satellite. I am restructuring the tether / electrodynamic tether pages to reflect the scientific community. The main page is space tether and the daughter pages will be Tethered Formation Flying, electrodynamic tether and momentun exchange tether.

What can I do to make this article ready for the main space? How many reliable sources are enough to get an article approved?

Please see the comments left at the Proposed Deletion page. It's not an issue of quantity of RSs (and note that LinkedIn, etc. don't qualify as RSs since they aren't subject to editorial review); it's more a case that the included references don't substantiate the notability of this one veterinarian, as opposed to any other veterinarian in the world.

Dear Sirs the picture of the guns crew on the 6 inch gun of the HMS Ariadne, I am positive the tall member of the guns crew at the breech is my Father Able seaman Robert Darrell Stanley who was a gunner aboard the same cruiser in 1910. signed Jim Stanley sweets@bell.net
