00:04:56, 24 June 2016 review of submission by Dowhatyoulove19 edit


Hi LaMona / Wiki friends, thanks for reviewing my article. I have reference several notable Australian Music Industry publications here, I may not have done them properly? Can you help. I can include more of the same. David Roy Williams is similar to the pages Michael Gudinski and Chugg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:David_Roy_Williams This person is notable in the Australian Music Industry, specifically in the years of Shock Records. He was the Co-chairman of our Aria Music Awards, the Australian equivalent to the Grammy's. I can try accessing a library to get references to printed media from the 80s, 90s early 00's.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, I have tried to revise the article that I made about Page365, but still stuck in notability and what I have is the materials from news articles that mentioned about them, will it be fine to use them or what kind of soure that I can use to increase the notability?

Request on 14:17:10, 24 June 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Justin Jaron Lewis edit


I do not understand why this article has been turned down again.

Also, I see that other hands have been involved in editing it without consulting me. If these edits had been helpful in getting the article accepted I would be glad, but since they have not led to acceptance and have deleted material I thought was important, I don't understand why they were done.

The rejection has the same wording as was used before the last many edits. In those edits, however, I tried to address each of these concerns.

"Reads like an advertisement" -- this comment was made on an earlier draft in which I had included several quotations in praise of Buxbaum and his work. I deleted those quotations from the submitted draft. For example, rather than quote the high praise given to Buxbaum's book in several reveiws, I have simply mentioned that there are reviews and provided references to them. I don't see anything in the current draft which is not a statement of fact. -- Also, could the reviewer not edit out anything that "reads like an advertisement"?

"Reliable, independent sources": I have added a bibliography of Buxbaum's books, most of them from well-established publishers. The source references include reviews devoted to Buxbaum's work in several well-regarded journals, as well as passages in printed books recognizing his importance. Buxbaum's own website is included only in the "External Links" section, and interviews with Buxbaum are included for some details of his personal story.

"Notability" -- First of all, someone has deleted the sections I added about venues where Buxbaum has taught and told stories, and websites of or articles about some of his ordinees. These were intended to further establish his notability and I do not know why they have been deleted.

Otherwise, I cannot understand how an author of several significant books, storyteller recognized by the most important people in the storytelling world, and teacher of accomplished students, is not "notable." As was mentioned in a previous discussion, this is also a man at the end of his career. It is not as if I am trying to promote some up-and-coming young author whose worth has yet to be established.

Please reconsider this article for acceptance. Could it perhaps be reviewed by someone who is familiar with the world of Jewish spirituality or the storytelling revival?

With thanks. Justin Jaron Lewis (talk) 14:17, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

First, if you want comments by someone who is familiar with Jewish spirituality or Jewish storytelling, you might try WT:WikiProject Judaism. Second, if sections of your draft were deleted, and you disagree, you may restore them, but do not edit-war, and you may discuss the edits on the draft talk page or on the talk page of the other editor.
