Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews Hello FireflySixtySeven. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when

weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Request on 04:26:11, 26 December 2014 for assistance on AfC submission by William A. Kelley

• William A. Kelley (talk · contribs)

Hi,

You just failed my article, and I have questions.

First, I wrote the article because when I followed citations to this book, many of the citations were not in the book. So when I say these citations are not in the book, that is certainly verifiable, not opinion, nor is it original research. They are easily verified by text search.

As to the verifiable source. This book is Carnot's only book period, and Kelvin's section is his take, not mine, on Carnot's work. It is available from multiple sources, primarily google books, which are public and not being challenged for authenticity.

While the book is several hundred pages, I have read it several times, done multiple searches, and instead of finding text supporting various citations back to this work, instead I find many passages directly contradicting other wikipedia citations. The most notable contradictions I cited as a quote, also easily verifiable.

So I would much appreciate knowing in some more detail which sections you found unsupported, or being my opinion rather than the book's contents.

I'm more than happy to pair down the article to as pure a reflection of the book as necessary to satisfy guidelines. It would be helpful to know what parts of the article you found objectionable.

It was my intent to make clear article covering what the book did and did not say about come key points it is often cited for. It is often cited on wikepedia and elsewhere, and often incorrectly, and it is indeed those other wikipedia citations which are unverifiable, because they directly contradict Carnot and Kelvin's book.

thank you for taking the time to review my article.

(

original research". For example, you claim, in a bold headline, "Unfortunately, many of those citations are incorrect." - says who? Yourself? The source for that section is the book itself, which I rather don't expect to discuss the correctness of citations to itself. There are multiple other parts in the draft I'd immediately tag with a {{citation needed}} tag. Take for example, "For a compressed air engine, the "Carnot Limit" is 0%, meaning they don't work at all." - says who? Wouldn't the correct explanation rather be that, while the compressed air engine works, it's not a heat engine? I could go on and point out other examples, but the basic problem is that your draft largely does not discuss Carnot's book, explaining its content, history, impact and assessment by the scientific community based on third-party sources, but rather is an essay that argues significant parts of modern physics are wrong ("Talk to your engineer, not your physicist, to improve your engines"), based on your personal interpretation.

Notability Tag

Hello FireFly67, some time ago you added a notability tag to an article I submitted, title=Susan_Anderson_(psychotherapist). I have added additional references. Could you please take a look at the article again and remove the tag if the notability standard has now been met? Thank you. Livingmegler (talk) 01:07, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) At a glance I'm not sure those additional sources help much. You now have multiple sources for the same statements, but on the other hand, entire paragraphs still don't cite any sources at all - and those seem to be the paragraphs that actually focus on Anderson herself, not her work. And while I haven't checked them all, I don't think many of the sources discuss Anderson in any detail. For example, this source gives one quote and doesn't say more about Anderson than that she was the author of that quote. Huon (talk) 01:24, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your extra sources don't add any meaning to the article. It still doesn't say anything except how beneficial it is.Rathfelder (talk) 19:56, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Those sources suffice to establish notability. You're welcome to expand the article. Huon (talk) 20:16, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing wrong with saying how beneficial it is if sources have reported on that. I don't see what the problem is. The burden lies on the one who wants it kept, though.

Women Who Work (book) issue

I would really like to know what the issue is with a non-bias version. Those who convert back to the conclusion of "thus proving herself to be out of touch" contribute no insight to what self-help books are in general. An editor should not form these conclusions on a Wikipedia page because they are absolutely bias and you can see right through it (this because of her privilege). Please, lets work on a solution.

Ways to improve Hypnoanalysis

Hi, I'm Nick Moyes. FireflySixtySeven, thanks for creating Hypnoanalysis!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Thank you for creating this article. As it stands, the article doesn't convey a notable branch of a medical science deserving of its own article. If you want to avoid criticism, and nomination for deletion, or merging with psychoanalysis or hypnosis, may I suggest you expand on it and demonstrate that there are enough reliable sources to show it's not just a fancy name for an existing process. I know nothing about the subject, but it surprises me that there is not already an article on it if it is a genuinely notable subject. Sorry to sound so negative, but hopefully this feedback will be of help. You might find that using your own user sandbox to develop an article before it goes 'live' can be a way of avoiding criticism before you've finished actually creating the content.
