Dear APerson, Can I request further clarification on your comments on how to rewrite the article submitted; in terms of how it reads like an advertisement, and the variation of sources that the article refers to? I am keen to understand how you would suggest a change in the way the article is worded in order for it to come from a more neutral point of view. Also, as all the facts in the article have been related to in the listed references from sources other than the topic's main website, are the references not up to the standards of reliability that Wikipedia requires?

Sub: Review of "Draft:Internet_Sales_Promotion_Group"

I found this company deserves a page because of the following reasons. ISPG seems to have a bad PR because of which they couldn't appear in the news papers or any of the valid sources approved by Wiki. But that doesn't mean this company don't deserve a Wiki page, I have seen several other companies which are less relevant in the same domain having a wiki page. I would really appreciate if you could reconsider the decision and give this page an approval. If you feel that this page can be approved after a few changes are made, kindly let me know the same.

The tag (also referred to as a

) serves only to inform reviewers and bots that the submission was submitted on 28 May 2014 and has no effect on anyone's ability to edit the page.

Before resubmitting, you may also want to add more sources that talk about the company in depth; for instance, if there were an article in a periodical (not a press release) about the company, you probably would want to add it. Ditto for any books that talk about the company in a significant way. I'll put a {{Find sources}} tag here, which links to a bunch of helpful resources:

Hello!

I made an entry (Giovanni Galli (clothing company)) which was declined. I was "expecting" this outcome for the reason it was declined, however I have an obstacle which I can't go through without help.

I wrote the article in portuguese and wanted to translate it into english and spanish. The english version was declined because it didn't have any references... because they are all in portuguese.

The idea was to combine the three pages after I have created them.

What can I do to stay with the articles in wikipedia?

I see that you marked the X-Z section of Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/1911 verification as Done. First, thanks! I thought I was the only one toiling in this particular vineyard.

What's probably not clear is that I have a tool for calculating the table. It scans the individual lists counting the number of lines that end in "-" (actually, it reads the HTML looking for "</a>)</span> -</li>"; some time I must modify it to use the Wikimedia API). The ask on the toplevel page is "remove the {{search}} template and add a note after the trailing hyphen", while the X-Z list does not, itself, contain an indication that you have worked on it. Compare the B2 index, which I just finished.

Rather than make-work, if you can just add an assertion to the X-Z list that it is verified, I'll special-case the code. Sounds good?

I think I'll move on to D now, to avoid clashing with anyone else (I'd also made a start on X-Z, but hadn't done much). David Brooks (talk) 03:30, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

DavidBrooks, while originally going through the X-Z list, the only check I performed on each article was making sure that the article was as comprehensive as that on Britannica; I didn't do anything relating to {{EB1911}}. Therefore, it would probably be best if I were to just go through and mark articles as "ok", following the format on the B2 index.

Regarding the tool: where can I find the code for it? I would be interested in working on it, since I have some prior experience working with the API.

.

Re the tool, it's a very untidy, incrementally created piece of C# code on my PC, which used to be a very untidy piece of PERL. It doesn't even make optimal use of the API (one get call per subpage). As a professional developer, I'd be really sad if anyone else saw it. Don't worry; I'll run it every month or so. David Brooks (talk) 03:33, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

thanks for reviewing the LMDB page. i've restored the edits that were completely missed by someone making an arbitrary "non-trusting" and judgemental decision to take a copy of the page over a month ago whilst several highly competent technical individuals (well-known and respected prominent software libre developers) were collaborating to improve the quality of the article. that judgemental decision has entirely lost the history of the edits made during that period, i wonder if you know of a way to restore them, as there may be things that were missed that other people might feel are appropriate to leave in (or out), and not having the history of the page's development makes that incredibly hard to do. Lkcl (talk) 23:11, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

i've spoken to Mwasheim, he took a copy of the page because he believed it would be irrevocably destroyed (i do not believe he understands fully how wikipedia history and archiving works). What he also did not understand was that as I was editing it (as i had been talking to some software libre people who were extremely pissed off that a former oracle employee had been permitted to have the article taken down), it automatically changed from "Articles for Deletion" to "Articles for Creation", which meant that it was automatically referred to review.

Now, the problem is that because he made the copy (somewhere around the 23rd october 2014), you found his *COPY*... *NOT* the article that was in the process of being reviewed and edited by several technically-competent software libre developers.

In fact, the article that was being edited is still listed as awaiting review!

Oh dear. Lkcl. Since I also maintain serveral mediawiki instances, I can assure you that I understand how it works. However, not all editors are equal. Also, I was also editing, and was aware that my own edits were quickly being improved on. That was on the 19th and 20th of October. Now, I've chimed in here as well. I think the human element has been the problem with this page all along. Mwasheim (talk) 10:43, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

that's good that you know how mediawiki works. the problem is: you didn't tell anyone that you'd made a copy, and the copy could not be easily found. it was hard enough finding the articles-for-deletion entry (i actually had to use google search rather than wikipedia search). i had absolutely no idea that you'd made a copy until the reviewed (out-of-date) page suddenly appeared. the result of taking a copy is that the edits that you were making have all been overwritten, now, because the highly-technically literate individuals who are knowledgeable about LMDB had no idea that the copy existed. the one that i did notice was the references|2 line, i kept that, because in order to ensure complete overkill due to that conflict-of-interest oracle employee causing the page to be deleted, we made damn sure that there were a vast number of references. anyway. best to leave things alone now until the admins have merged the history.

Why was this flagged for notability? There seems to be a number of primary sources indicating that importance of the site. Furthermore, there are a number of other pages for citizen science projects that have less sources than iNaturalist that were not flagged.

Financialpanther (talk) 16:22, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I initially tagged the article because it didn't look to me like the sources demonstrated notability. However, since I flagged it a month ago, someone came by and added a bunch of sources, so it seems like the tag can go off now. By the way, anybody can remove a tag if they feel it doesn't apply to the article, so long as they're mindful of consensus/discussion on the talk page. Since there wasn't any in this case, it's fine if you go ahead and just remove the tag. Also, if there are other pages for citizen science projects that don't seem notable to you, go ahead and tag them! It's just a notice to interested editors that they should help the article establish notability.

Note that I did not name "copy and pasting your draft everywhere" as part of that process, so please stop doing that. To review those four steps:

1. you create a draft: {{done}}. There's a draft article at Draft:Hawayo Hiroumi Takata, and there's no need to copy it anywhere else.

Sure! I went and looked at the French article, and although my French is not that good, it looked a bit like an advertisement too.

I was hoping if i could talk to you about the new wiki page that i submitted and was denied. The feedback i received mentioned that there is already a page for 3D printing. The page i proposed is about a new idea that involves 3D printing. The short and simple is that Digiaddimata are objects created on a 3D printer that are created in a single printing session and require no more work to be done or material added or removed from them; aside from the usual post processing of removing temporary supporting material. My question is this, does the idea not warrant the creation of a new page??

Sure! What sort of bot task would this be?

talk!

) 02:56, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

1. The task is plugging in historical links to pages as they appeared at the time of the publication of a Signpost article, as done in a mock-up here, through all of the (many!) old Signpost stories. The challenge is baking in the correct diff links, first of all. Second, converting the header template to the new design: we can use a new template (template 2) with that one difference, and then replace the main template (template 1) with that template's content and redirect to that template (template 2 -> 1) when we're done. Third, older articles. The Signpost visual identity has changed over time seeing as how it's been in writing for a decade now, but we've actually only ever used two overall layouts. The current layout was introduced in 2009. This is what we looked like in 2005-2008, so incorporating the template into those articles will require a little more visual work be done.
2. A second task: the
   WP:GO by hand. It would help the section writers a lot of there was some automated way to do this. Here is the current preload they use: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Story-preload/FC
   .

Let me know if either of these interest you! ResMar 03:47, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, APerson

I do not appreciate that you deleted my edits on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. You may not think that what I wrote is constructive, but my edits did in fact serve a purpose. Not only are some of the character descriptions under "Cast and Characters" incorrect, but they also exclude various character developments that are a key part in the show. This is a very popular television show and I believe that Wikipedia should properly and accurately convey not only factual information, but analytical criteria as well. Everything I wrote was true in regards to "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". I did not put any false or inappropriate information on the page. Your actions in deleting my edits are not only unethical, as your useless criticism is slowing the progression of this website and the way the world shares and discovers information, but irresponsible, as you clearly do not know right from wrong in regards to this topic.

Update on the Signpost

I don't how far you are into the things I queried you about earlier, or even if you've started them at all, but you may also be interested in having a peek at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Index. There's a precedent for a bot going through Signpost articles (it was done once in 2010) and it looks like this initiative is going to require a similar operation once things get nailed down. If you've put thought about the historical linking thing I sent you earlier, the section-tagging thing can be merged into that operation, too. However it's yet to be fully defined.

Bug in afdstats

Hi, you're listed as one of the maintainers here: [2] for the afdstats tool. There's a bug with it and it's unable to find the greyscale.css stylesheet. On this page [3] It's attempting to load it from here: [4] when the css file is actually located here [5]. Could you please fix this if you have time? I find the tool useful for keeping track of AfDs I've been involved in. ― Padenton|✉   00:49, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

It seems that AFCH is no longer leaving decline notices on a users talk page when you decline it using the tool. I saw that you where a mantainer of the tool and wanted to bring the problem to your attention. A bug report was posted here. Thanks,

Reviewing

Hi, thanks for inviting me to the Teahouse back in January. I'm new to Wikipedia 5 months and 744 edits. I'm keen on helping with reviewing articles. I want to know what is the process. Thanks. Adyoo3 (talk) 05:17, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

the pending submissions category

, and you can find some to review there.

At first, you may want to stick to articles you are very, very confident about, such as submissions that are obviously attack pages or pages about people who obviously aren't notable (e.g. pages whose only content is "Foo Bar is the most awesome person ever!!!!"). Those can be most commonly found in the category of very new submissions, since easy reviews happen very fast.

Above all, be careful! For most of the people whose submissions you're reviewing, it's their first experience writing an article here. The experience they have often determines whether they'll come back and add more content or whether they'll leave Wikipedia, never to return.

If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask me or another reviewer. Or, for questions specifically about reviewing, try

the talk page of the project that runs all this

.

Thank you again for offering to help out, and good luck reviewing!

WikiCup 2015 May newsletter

The second round one has all wrapped up, and round three has now begun! Congratulations to the 34 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our second round. Leading the way overall was Cas Liber (submissions) in Group B with a total of 777 points for a variety of contributions including Good Articles on Corona Borealis and Microscopium - both of which received the maximum bonus.

Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.

• Coemgenus (submissions) was one of several users who worked on improving Ulysses S. Grant. Remember, you do not need to work on an article on your own - as long as each person has completed significant work on the article during 2015, multiple competitors can claim the same article.
• Cwmhiraeth (submissions) took Dragonfly to Good Article for a 3x bonus - and if that wasn't enough, they also took Damselfly there as well for a 2x bonus.
• level 4 vital article
  .

The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards. Good luck to all competitors for the third round! Figureskatingfan (talk · contribs · email), Miyagawa (talk · contribs · email) and Sturmvogel 66 (talk · contribs · email) 16:58, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Help with reviewing

I'm reviewing my first article, I need a second opinion. This is the draft https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Phylogenetic_Species_Concept

I want to decline it as I found this subject at these links https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species#Phylogenetic_.28cladistic.29_species And https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetics But want to suggest the author to improve on the former link as it needs citations.

What happens when I hit Decline and should I put a comment on why it was declined(what does it mean use Wikicode syntax?)

Thanks.Adyoo3 (talk) 09:40, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Adyoo3, when you hit "Decline", the script marks the draft as having been declined, signalling to the person who wrote the draft that improvement is needed before the draft can become an article. It also leaves a note on the user's talk page that the draft was declined. Regarding the comment, the stuff you write in the box will become a comment under the declined box on the draft. "Use wikicode syntax" just means that you can use plain old MediaWiki markup (i.e. make links with [[Foo]]) inside that box.

I get what you're saying about how the subject of the draft is already covered by other Wikipedia articles. What reviewers should consider here is whether Wikipedia would be better served by having an article on this sort-of-separate topic, the method biologists use to check when a group of organisms represents a new species. The draft includes quite a bit of new content, so I would think a little bit more about whether the information here can be just merged into those other two articles.

In the end, it's your call about whether the article should be created. Have fun reviewing!

Reviewing my second article

Thanks for your earlier advice, I have declined my first article but gave the same advice to the author about merging articles or considering writing a more comprehensive article. For my second article for review I need a second opinion. I want to accept an article. But I find myself doing a lot editing. Should I decline it and ask the author to make corrections and edits instead?

I have edited the Introduction and Early Life section of this well cited and researched article to sound more like an encyclopedia entry> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Surf_Dog_Ricochet#Merchandising

The Community Out Reach section is very comprehensive, should it be cut down since the dog's website has a lot of the facts stated here. The Merchandising section sounds like an advertisement. I think the citations should not lead to Amazon.com or places books are sold but instead to articles about the book, am I correct?

In general, I think there are too many citations. The author references the dog's website, YouTube or news videos. Should I remove entries like the Marmaduke movie sentence as the only citation is at the dog's website? How would you rewrite the Media Apperance section.

I think Notoriety & Recognition can be combined. The External links can be cut down too.

Thank you Adyoo3 (talk) 08:43, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

I notice this message AFCH error: user not listed and checked the list my name was gone. I put my name again but I cannot get the reviewers script to work again. I wonder what happened? Was I removed from the list for some reason, I didn't get any messages as such. Adyoo3 (talk) 16:13, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Looks like Sminthopsis84 took you off the list, with the edit summary "Still hasn't been editing articles." As you clearly have over 500 mainspace edits, I've re-added you, and you should be able to review again. I'll just wait for Sminthopsis84 to comment here. Meanwhile, keep up the good work! I've been looking through your reviews, and a lot of them are pretty good. A few things to watch:

• Draft:Net neutrality in Singapore
  was marked as non-notable web content, but that's the reason for articles about websites and other things that are on the web, not just things that are related to the web.
• Draft:Lumicrine - watch the reason you're using again; here, the issue may be less with the tone than with the demonstrated notability of the article.

In general, when giving a policy as a reason for something, such as "WP:N", try to make it a wikilink to the policy so those less familiar with all of the arcane abbreviations used here can click through to the policy. Finally, again, as you're getting started, try to concentrate your reviewing on the drafts that are obviously quick declines. Thanks!

Perhaps I was too hasty. I used the previous removal which Adyoo3 reversed, saw that the date was May 10th, that there had been no article edits since then. I have not been able to access the edit-count tool, so cannot be certain. Backing off now. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 16:43, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
