Hi Thank you for the edit. I would have preferred engineer as I changed the spelling of George Threlfall on the Phoenix Foundry page and it linked to the wrong George Threlfall.

Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Software-Defined_Enterprise

There are three issues:

ON THE LEGITIMACY OF THE SOURCES CITED

1. 1 One reviewer accepted 11 out of 12 sources and another accepted 1 out of 12 sources

QUESTION 1 => may I formally cite the first reviewer so as to stop further rejection on that basis?

ON WHETHER THE ARTICLE CONTAINS ORIGINAL RESEARCH

1. 2 It is common knowledge (i.e. there is a Wikipedia article) that:

1. a Enterprise applications may be defined in software using Software as a Service that enables any enterprise to virtualize such applications, such as a Salesforce Client Relationship Management tenancy;
2. b Enterprise networks may be defined in software using Software Defined Networks that enable any enterprise to virtualize such applications, such as a Virtual Private Network between a supplier and its client for transmitting invoices;
3. c There is a 7 layer Open System Interconnection model for B2B and other inter- and intra- enterprise communications

3) Wiktionary rejected my proposed definition for "Software-Defined Enterprise" on basis that it is simply a compounding of words that requires no disambiguation (which I believe is not true, please see "History" in the rejected S-DE Wikipedia article)

QUESTION 2 => If an article is verifiable based on logic: "a network defined in the OSI application layer is called a Software Defined Network, therefore an enterprise defined in the OSI application layer is called a Software-Defined Enterprise", does that not stop further rejection on the basis of being original research?

ON WHETHER THE ARTICLE CAN READ LIKE AN ESSAY

QUESTION 3 => If an article addresses a real need (see History) and is only being rejected because of style and not content, could it be published with the note "This article is written in essay style, please help to improve it!"?

QUESTION 4 => If no to the latter question, would it be more appropriate to submit this article to http://www.webopedia.com/ ?

70.24.145.219 (talk) 14:54, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

@70.24.145.219: I don't see anywhere where a reviewer agree to the "legitimacy" of a specific number of your sources, and in any case that isn't binding in any way (this is a volunteer review, not a court of law). If you disagree with a particular reviewer's assessment, contact that reviewer directly on their talk page or make any necessary changes and resubmit your draft. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 15:12, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, please see: From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Joseph2302/Archives/2015/June#Software-Defined_Enterprise:_more_appropriate_for_Wiktionary.3F "I think it's got a decent chance of being accepted, as I think 8 of those sources look to be reliable source..."

I apologize for giving you the impression there is some kind of legal issue, and I fully intend to contribute according to the spirit of what Wiki is all about. That said, reviewers are as pressed for time as I am, are you saying all volunteers who have contributed must agree, or only the most recent one? Is it possible/considered acceptable practice to resubmit to a specific reviewer rather than start from scratch each time? As one reviewer said, this is a "whopper", and therefore bouncing from reviewer to reviewer may not be appropriate for all concerned.

Please also reject following if appropriate to save time for reviewers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Virtual_Asynchronous_Private_Enterprise_Resource_Network — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.24.145.219 (talk) 15:50, 19 July 2015 (UTC) Thanks again.205.237.65.132 (talk) 01:43, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello. Law school tuition (and university tuition generally) is different from "prices for goods and services." Particularly in Canada, where universities are still ostensibly public institutions, the tuition price paid directly by students is a very important piece of information. It is not at all comparable to the price of consumer goods and services. Can you please reconsider this request? Alternately, can you tell me how to re-open a discussion on this issue? I believe there is strong support for including tuition as part of the infobox.

Also note that the not including price for goods and services practice is already not applied to law schools, as the tuition is included in the body text of most law school Wikipedia pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vivavoce23 (talk • contribs) 17:19, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate your concern about the wiki page for David L Richter, CEO of Hill International. The fact that the creators of this page are associated with the company (and him) does present a potential conflict of interest. The creator of the page did their best to back-up everything with independent sources. As you can see by my wiki history, I am quite the novice editing wiki content, as is Bethann Richter, however as the CEO and founding family member of a 600 million dollar publicly traded company, David Richter warrants at least consideration for a separate profile page apart from Hill International. If there is a different way that we should approach this, I welcome your advice. I appreciate your objective consideration.Jpaolin (talk) 14:11, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Hey Ahecht. I was just looking at Category:AfC submissions declined as copyright violations (side note: I believe the entire category should be cleaned out and should not exist but that's not why I'm here). In looking at entries, I'm seeing that user talk pages, where the decline has been placed, are being included in the category and I was wondering if that was an unintentional side result of your April edits to the template or if it was always like that. If it was or even if it wasn't and always did that, can the template be changed to not place the category when a decline is added to a user's talk page, as opposed to a decline added to the draft itself? It seems to me the category is for flagging actual pages that have been declined as copyright violations, not talk pages of users who posted the AfC submissions that were declined on that basis. Thanks--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 20:31, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

@Fuhghettaboutit: When I made those April edits I tried to categorically prevent User Talk pages from being tagged, but I was stopped by T13 who claimed that a User Talk page was a perfectly valid place to put a draft article. I finally worked out an acceptable workaround with T13 on May 20th, but pages tagged in the meantime ended up in the category. Are you seeing any User Talk pages that were added to the category after May 20th? --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 20:42, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for responding. Hmm, let me check.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 20:44, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Well I went through about twenty, none were from after May 20 but there's many more. Anyway, I'm planning on cleaning out the category first and then probably doing a CfD but that's certainly going to take significant time. The good part – that cuts both ways – is that even though these are cluttering up the category with false-positives, they also mean that the total number of actual copyvios to clean up is less, since these talk pages in the category are not actual copyvios. Copyvios should not be declined and retained but deleted or in some cases sent for investigation and/or cleaned and revdeleted. What we should not be doing is having any process that invites declining and keeping them, with the copyvio sitting in the page history and a category that flags for the world, here be copyvios! Explore at your leisure! I don't know how this ever got started where our policies are clear and the problem of keeping them and amassing an index of them so blindingly and obviously problematic. Many moons ago I had noticed that the AfC instructions said just to decline, and I put in place the current instructions for tagging them under G12 or sending them for investigation, but obviously the retention is ongoing and having this category is part of the tail wagging that dog.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 21:41, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

I've cleaned out all the talk page that had the category placed through the template so the issue that brought me here is basically moot (there were over 300, meaning there are far fewer actually copyvios to deal with than I thought).--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:44, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Great. One of these days, now that T13 isn't around to oppose it, I'll have to get around to submitting a bot to clean out the other categories. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 04:14, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

I do think that would be a boon. Doing this by hand was a pain in the ass and it appears there are thousand between all the decline categories. If it's any use in making the case for appropriateness of a bot to handle these, hand doing 349, I did not find a single user talk page in the category that was actually an AfC draft.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 11:45, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Oh, hmm, wow. It just occurred to me that there might be a really easy way to do this, one even I could do. Instead of using some kind of #ifeq parameter to swap the categories in the current cv comment, I could just add a new comment called cv-cleaned with the same content as cv, except for the different category.

Hi Ahecht. Apologies that Special:AbuseFilter/690 accidentally disallowed one of your bot's edits.
