Draft: Theo Sowa

Dear Onel5969

You have rejected this article on

Theo Sowa based on it "not fulfilling notability guidelines". A person, especially one is not of UK descent, who receives a CBE is definitely notable. In the entry in the London Gazette, Ms. Theodosia Sowa was given the award for: "For services to the Voluntary Sector in the UK and Overseas". Her other interventions, mentioned in the article, also meet the guidelines. Please could you be more specific as to what you need to be assured of her notability, so that we can resubmit the article that is an entry for the Wiki Loves Women, #15Challenge contest. Thank you for your thoughts on this. Isla Haddow (talk

Questions about Declined Article

My username is DRCRichardson (real name Erin ... hi!) and I am sending this in regards to a draft I submitted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Charles_Richardson) on behalf of Dr. Charles Richardson. Thank you so much for reviewing the article and I do appreciate your feedback as this is my first time writing an article for Wikipedia. I wanted to touch base with you for your thoughts as I plan to edit the draft and resubmit.

I agree that it reads more advertisement than encyclopedia. Are there specific sections you think I should fine tune? Right now I'm planning on cleaning up his companies as I think his inventions are the most interesting, but wanted to check with you as you have a different perspective.

I am working on updating sources and will include more news outlets and scientific studies of his inventions.

Any additional feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! DRCRichardson (talk) 15:20, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Erin - Wikipedia uses categories for declines, and the advertising one was the closest. I think a more apt description would be that it reads like a CV, or a promotional brochure. I'll put up some links on the draft page which you can take a look at. On the whole, just state facts, not opinions, and use sources which are independent of the subject, and talk about the subject at depth. Right now, most of the sources are about the companies, not about him. Also, YouTube is not a reliable source, so you should lose those. The Charlotte Business cites are nice to verify the facts, but they don't help his notability, since they are more about the companies. If those articles were about him, they would be good. Also, he'll need at least one in-depth article from a non-local source (outside the Carolinas). Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 01:08, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks you for your review. I will find more references that Wikipedia considers reliable and add them before I resubmit. This may take me a few weeks since I may be starting a new job soon.

Is this the sort of reference that you are seeking, from the Chicago Tribune archives? It was the only article I found there about him. http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1937/10/10/page/41/article/illinois-new-oil-field-shows-large-growth

Thanks Peter Pbergstrom (talk) 16:29, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Pbergstrom - That's a nice article to verify a fact in the article, and slightly helps his notability. To show notability you need at least 3 in-depth articles from independent sources. If that article was all about Wasson, rather than about what he's announcing, that would go to notability, but the brevity of it would make you need 4-5 like that. I hope that gives you enough direction. I'm into mining myself, so I found the article interesting, and will be more than willing to help you get it into shape. Let me know when you're ready to work on it. Onel5969 TT me 01:14, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Request on 16:47:05, 1 February 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Metalhorn1


I plan to add additional references to the Sean Young (psychologist) entry before resubmitting, but please note: I have cited an opinion-editorial from the New York Times; Dr. Young is the executive director of two research centers at the most applied to university in the United States; and he won a "Research Catalyst" award for innovative work. I believe these more than qualify him as a "notable person." I will also add sources independent of UCLA, but again, this is the initial entry and it is comparable to people such as
Mary Jane Rotheram-Borus or James H. Fowler as well as many other behavioral scientists with lesser credentials who are included in Wikipedia.

If you have advice on why this may be the wrong assumption, I welcome your advice. Many thanks.

Good morning. You have just reviewed my article on Brian Lerner. It was denied publication again. I see two distinct reasons (I think). One is showing more notability. The other seems to state I need to cite better or more clearly. I added more regarding notability but have not changed the its references. Thus, I am a little unclear if the article now has sufficient facts showing notability, but is not properly using references or cites. Can you please give me some guidance as to whether I need to both show more notability and work on the references, or if I just have to work on the reference?

Thank you for your help.

Nena Valnz (talk) 17:03, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Nena Valnz - on Wikipedia, there's a difference between accomplished and notable. Lerner is certainly accomplished, but nothing in the article points to his notability. The closest thing is the Grava decision, but you'd need in-depth coverage of that decision showing that he was the single person responsible for the outcome. Your sourcing is okay to verify the facts of the article, but to show notability, you need in-depth articles from independent, reliable sources (usually major newspapers or magazines). Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 01:29, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Don Oriolo article

Hi there Onel5969!

I see that my article submission for Don Oriolo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Don_Oriolo) was declined...bummer.

I'd love to get this article up, but I'm unsure of exactly what I should fix. I know I used citations throughout most of the write-up, and other facts that I know to be true but can't find an immediate source I left as "citation needed." Should I remove the "citation needed" sections for now so that the article can go live, and then dig around for more sources?

Disclosure: I am a journalist and I wrote one of the articles used as a primary source for this page (the article appeared in the Milford Journal, which is Reference number 1).

Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks!

Hi
conflict of interest, so please read that link and take the appropriate steps. Second, to show notability, you'd need at least 3 in-depth articles from independent, reliable sources in order to show the subject's notability. Count your article as one (the fact you wrote it is a COI issue, not a notability one), now you need 2 others like it. In addition, you have a bunch of stuff in the article which needs independent sourcing. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me

I truly can’t see why Steve’s entry for me on WP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_James_Simpson) should have been accepted, and yours not, unless it’s to do with the nature of the links. Truth be told, I don’t think either of us really belong on WP, which is an encyclopaedia, designed to give people access to hard knowledge.

I have published over 6 books, had 'Rubbery Figures' the political puppets on Australian national tv for 8 years on the ABC and HSV 7 and l have recently produced to feature length documentaries on the Australian and New Zealand olympic rowers and scullers.

Can you please re-review my submission and get back to me.

Mike.

Hi Mike - Harvard? Meh. The man behind the curtain (read that "Ivy League schools") have been exposed of late as being highly over-rated. In fact, a state school out west actually outranked Harvard the past two years. You've made no changes to the article since I declined it. Still doesn't meet the notability criteria and referencing requirements. To show notability, you'd need at least 3 in-depth, lengthy articles about the subject from independent, reliable sources. Right now there are zero articles like that. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 01:56, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Good day. This article has a corresponding very thorough article in the Danish Wikipedia. This Church is a major historic church in Slagelse Denmark, and is the home of the tomb of St. Anders.

Revision of Sean Young (psychologist) Entry

Hi. I did some significant reworking of the

Draft:Sean Young (psychologist)
entry. I think/hope the tone and notability issues should have been resolved.

I included more than 10 references from sources such as CBS News, CNET, notable healthcare publishers/sites, etc. These sources cite, quote, or summarize Dr. Young's work in a wide range of contexts. I also included two external links to UC pages that list scores of news items about his work. I expect the entry's referencing would expand in coming years, given he is a "rising star" in the field of scholarly research about social media. Also, a minor quibble with your last reply: the article I cite in the New York Times was indeed by Dr. Young, but it is within the paper's Room for Debate section, which was solicited (and his piece is technically just one facet of a six-part article created by the Times' Editorial Board).

Finally, the entry still says "Review waiting" even though I did not resubmit. Hope that doesn't indicate a problem. Many thanks for all your work.

Hi Onel,

I refer to your request for 3 articles. I'm not an academic, or even attended a University. If you look at my website, www.mikenicholson.com you can click on 'Daughter to Bligh' and see the article written as a foreword by Professor James Simpson, Chair, English department, Harvard [the second top university in the world l now find out from you].

I have written over 4 books, l write all my own films and l'm an artist.

Why do l need to write 3 articles? [Not comparing myself to] Picasso is in Wiki and did he have to write 3 articles?

Request on 16:58:57, 3 February 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by MrSmooth31


In my opinion, notability has been established. Every citation at least mentions him, and several go into quite a bit of detail about him such as interviews, etc. He received a national award in the electrical industry and an additional one from an accredited university in Michigan post college based on his career and published work. One specific study is also published on the University of California, Davis's California Lighting Technology's website. When combined with the articles about him, or the articles he's internationally published on the subject of efficient lighting, I believe this puts him in the notability camp. One Mlive article titled “"Jackson area business leaders applaud proposal that eliminates 'disincentive to invest'" and he’s one of the “leaders” cited; while in a completely different article, written by a completely different reporter, it headlines him and the fact that he, and his work, is at least academically/author notable. WP:CITEKILL may seem like it applies, but it’s because he’s been in a lot of articles. Perhaps the BIO links should be deleted? The issue here, per your comment, is of MLive, tED Magazine, The Parking Professional, Parking Today, Electrical News, or Yahoo Finance as “fringe” publications. These are national, and notable, electrical industry (except Yahoo Finance, although national, it's not specifically electrical, although his work has appeared there, too) relevant publications. In my opinion that is enough to push him over the GNG threshold. He’s not going to be mentioned in a Vogue magazine, or a Discovery Channel piece for a study on an electrodeless lamp. Should the notability of the publications he has been published in be elaborated on? Or at least lessen the citation use of the same ones more than once?

Further, I would also like to mention that in order to have shown notability for GNG, I have provided 8 in-depth articles specifically about the subject from independent, reliable sources. They are:

"tED Magazine Winner to Be Honored By University". tED Magazine. "2013 30 Under 35 Profile: Kyle Leighton". tED Magazine. “Name Expands Corporate Level Team”. tED Magazine. “Electrical Industry Young Professional To Be Honored by Michigan Based University”. Electrical News.

New York City Based NAME Energy Group Expands Corporate Level Team”. Park News.

Kyle Leighton receives alumni award from Siena Heights University”. MLive. “U.S. Energy Group Appoints New Leadership for Lighting and Energy Management Product Lines”. Power Metrics International. “Alumni Stars Mark the Start of Homecoming”. Siena Heights University.

Please be more specific as to what you are looking for so that the article can be re-submitted. Thank you for all of your help Onel5969!

MrSmooth31 (talk) 16:58, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi MrSmooth31 - First get rid of every citation which is by the subject. Second, if a reference only mentions him, delete it, unless it is to verify an underlying fact of the article (e.g. your cite #5). Third, get rid of all press releases. Fourth, Ted is an industry magazine, and is mostly a pr piece. Also, stuff like Siena are connected to the subject, therefore not independent. I hope this gives you enough direction to start out. Bottom line is that everywhere you have multiple cites, pick the best one, get rid of the rest. Onel5969 TT me 18:18, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Onel5969. I have removed all citations by the subject. I have also removed 21 references, including press releases, per your instructions. I have also added one new reference. Per my Google Alerts, an electrical industry organization copy and pasted one of the subject’s articles into their blog today. I will delete if it is a moot reference (#27). It is still my opinion that the independent, reliable sources that are listed in the article establish GNG of the subject. Regarding tED magazine, you are right. It is an industry magazine. However, it is also the publication of the National Association of Electrical Distributors (NAED), a notable trade association for the electrical distribution industry. I think the notability of that organization, and their interest and coverage of the subject (including his NAED national award), additionally satisfies GNG and WP:ANYBIO. Further, the third notable piece of the subject is the Siena Heights University award. Firstly, I do agree with you that the SHU articles are not independent of the subject as he graduated from that university. On the other hand, the subject possesses a communications degree from that university, and that university gave him a prestigious award based upon his communications career that was outside academia but in his academic capacity. That satisfies criterion #7 of WP:ACADEMIC evidenced by independent, reliable sources. I will re-submit and await your feedback. Thank you again.MrSmooth31 (talk) 21:29, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Onel5969. I have an additional comment from someone else on the page. By re-submitting, I did not intend for the article to go back into AFC, I was awaiting your instructions to improve the article as the subject meets GNG and WP:ANYBIO, and WP:ACADEMIC.MrSmooth31 (talk) 15:21, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Would you please be more specific about what is needed? I have located several different newspapers and other reputable sources that confirm that she was an elected official, beginning in the 1930s when women's rights were just taking off, and that she was re-elected 5 times. Perhaps it is not a big deal today for a female to be elected to County Recorder, but it was notable in those days; plus the fact that she was Hispanic. I've added the notoriety of her husband because they were a political power couple in Arizona, and both are still talked and written about today.

My question is how can I improve it further? It's classified in the "Start" category now and I would like to show off this page to the best of its abilities. I've tried my hardest to get enough reliable and third-party references, so I hope that isn't an issue with it. Also, obviously many, if not most, readers will not care to read about it in the first place, but I would like to improve it so it can't be put up for deletion on a basis of not being notable enough or something like that.

Hi MBisanz - The AfD I took part in was about the band, OftM, which, imho, was clearly not notable enough for an article. I didn't take a look at the Ron Underwood article. The sources the editor left on your talk page are generic tour announcements, so wouldn't go to notability (although they could be used to verify those tour dates). Doing a quick search on News, Underwood is one of those borderline notability cases. My advice to the editor would be to get some good sources, and create an article using the AfC process, that way, some editors can take a look at it and decide on its notability prior to moving it to the mainspace. Take it easy. Onel5969 TT me 19:23, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Editing Questions

Hi Onel5969,

I'm new at submitting articles for Wikipedia, so I would greatly appreciate your insight.

I submitted the article -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Merrill_Corporation -- which was declined based on my initial submission.

One of the reviewers said I should not include sources/citations from LinkedIn. Are there other sources, besides LinkedIn, that are discouraged? In writing the article I tried to avoid the company's website and other company sources and focus on third-party sources.

For the article, I used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IntraLinks and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VITAC as models for building the article about Merrill Corporation.

My article was deemed as "reads too much like an advertisement". Could you share some thoughts about how I should edit the article so it's not deemed advertising. What I mean by this, is: Should I eliminate the entire section about Products, or is it more about eliminating adjectives such as "leading," which may lack a third-party source to back up that claim?

I also wanted to ask if it's helpful to link to other Wikipedia pages? For example, Merrill offers virtual data rooms as part of their business and I see that there is a Wikipedia page on Virtual Data Room (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_data_room)?

I would appreciate any encouragement that you can offer.

Thanks,

StephenDupont55403 — Preceding unsigned comment added by StephenDupont55403 (talkcontribs) 18:12, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi
WP:RS
to see how reliable sources are determined. Basically, if a site doesn't have editorial oversight, it's unreliable. That would include any social networking site, like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. Blogs should also be avoided, especially if you're just starting to edit. There are some at very reliable sources like the Washington Post, which are reliable, but it can be tricky to figure out which, so it's best to avoid them at the beginning. Also, press releases are totally unreliable, so avoid them. About the only thing they are good for is to verify something like, "On February 1, 2016, Company A announced it had purchased all the outstanding shares of Company X...".
It's not a bad impulse to look at other articles to give you insight on how to edit a new article, however, if an article has a tag at the top, which both of your examples do, it's not a good idea to use them as an example, since editors feel there are issues with both of those. I'm going to put some links on your draft, which will be helpful for you to read. Particularly the
On how to properly format your citations
. Those should help you decide on what to include and not include, as well as how to improve the format/structure of your article, and how to properly format citations. Regarding promotion: yes, listing products can be problematical, especially when done in a way which highlights those products, which your article does. Also, be wary of phrases like "the company refocused its business to become a leader in ...", "Under CEO Rusty Wiley’s leadership...", "leverages technology and expertise to help its clients ". Those are all marketing statements, designed to sell the company to a prospective client. Articles tell us about the subject, ads sell us the product.
Yes, it is very helpful to link to other wikipedia articles you do that by placing [[ brackets around the article name ]] , like Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Finally, don't be afraid to ask questions. The more specific they are, the better, so an editor can address it. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 19:44, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Re: article for submission - The Nomadic Oracle - 27th Sept 2015

I have a problem. One that won't go away no matter how I approach it. It's out of my hands, so to speak.

We live in changing times and the rate of change is super-fast. How is it possible that new voices (such as mine), with new ideas (such as The Nomadic Oracle) can overcome a cultural closed shop? It doesn't matter whether I'm speaking of Wikipedia (which I love and hugely respect) or Google's pagerank system, or your federal government (no matter where you live).

If the work I'm peddling had been written by a notable monster (say George Bush, why not?), there'd be no problem with notability. If the work had been published by a notable publisher (which it couldn't have been, I wouldn't have been able to release editorial control) there'd have been no problem.

In this new era, we MUST respect independent and interdependent, individual creativity without question. ONLY by raising consciousness will any of our grand-children love us. We must protect the future. But in the ever-present game of celebrity status and commercial interests, those in control will never concur.

I believe the present Wikipedia notability policy is over-restrictive. It's not democratic, which is a shame since Wikipedia is, in many respects, a great pro-democracy tool through the free distribution of knowledge. Aims totally supported by the book in question.

Not all of us work to the beats of personal engrandisement or even profit. There are other motivations far more pressing. The work in question is one of love and concern for the state of this world. It sees its subject in a totally new way. It has brought healing and is greatly loved by those very few individuals who have touched base with it. But in this hard, rational positivist world, such thoughts are meaningless. It has taken the best part of a decade to complete.

I don't expect there to be any change of policy.Monkey shiva (talk) 14:37, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Azad Najafov

Hi OneI,

How do I add WP:ACADEMIC tag? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Azad_Najafov

There are several molecular biology articles and psychology-related articles in the references. Some of those journals do not have websites because they were hard copy journals in the 90s and have since closed. But the articles published in other online places by other people are citing articles by Azad Najafov (e.g. 3rd reference)

Also, there is a book published on nakconsulting.com

Also, Azad Najafov was not associated with http://shkolazhizni.ru or http://webinary.com.ua or http://edric.ru. He just published his articles there.

Why is this not enough to show that this person was a notable academic in two fields (molecular biology and psychology)?

Article Submission

I received your ambiguous note regarding the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Kimberly_McDonald&redirect=no

Other than a generic explanation about the piece being "like an advertisement" there is no specific reason given for the rejection.

The article consists of declaratory, FACTUAL statements, all of which are sourced (many to other Wikipedia pages) to neutral, credible news sources - The Los Angeles Times, ABC News, The Chicago Tribune, The Robb Report, and People Magazine, among others.

Perhaps it is Wikipedia's practice to reject a first draft. In any event, I am resubmitting it with one minor change (the deletion of the subject's website as a source). Beyond that, I can see no valid reason not to approve this article submission. As for the suggestion that I consult "experienced editors" at Wikipedia, I have been writing and editing for both consumer and trade news publications for over two decades. I have an M.A in English and Writing from Fordham University and, like you, I am a native New Yorker.

Please take care in reviewing the copy again, and if there are indeed any issues, let me know specifically what they may be. Beyond that, the article I submitted bears no more resemblance to an advertisement than similar Wikipedia pages of American jewelers which you can peruse for yourself - i.e., Lorraine Schwartz, Harry Winston, et al., - and consequently there is no legitimate cause to reject it.

Thank you.

Any chance you can move it to Georgios Papachatzis. It seems more things come up about him when using "ch" instead "h" although I believe it is not the right way to write a greek name with latin characters (widely used though).

Initially I included this and some other alternatives like Giorgos or George etc. Unfortunately Greek databases in www are quite a mess since they do not follow a certain naming convention.

I understand your concern, but Google Scholar does not cover journals that have closed (do not exist anymore) and never been online or digitized. However, luckily there is an article that cites Azad's articles (PDFs in the "References" section).

Also, there are articles that Azad published online on various websites (See "External links" and "References" sections). These websites are independent psychology-related portals and articles get reviews. They are not affiliated with Azad.

Si Ri Panya School Koh Phangan

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Si_Ri_Panya_School&redirect=no

Hi Onel,

You reviewed the page Si Ri Panya School Koh Phangan (it is a primary and secondary key stage 1 to 3) yesterday and found that it is not notable.

Thank you for your feedback and I have since made a few changes to the references.

reference 3 and 4 are sourced from real estate businesses, they are both unrelated to the school and independent and they are not merely repeating information provided by the school's administration. They are discussing the changes taking place on the island and the growing population and mention the school as evidence of this -saying...

reference 2 = "More and more western foreigners (farangs) - including young couples and families - are moving to Koh Phangan for a few years. The trend is clearly illustrated by the number of foreign students that increases every year at Si Ri Panya School"

reference 3 = Whereas once there were only a small number of children being schooled in Koh Phangan, there is a growing community of international families resident on the island. Si Panya school is an international school for children from ages 5-13. The school is soon moving to a purpose built school which is on bigger premises to accommodate the quickly expanding student numbers. For the first year ever, Si Panya will be offering a year 7 class (the equivalent of secondary school in the UK).

Reference 5 and 9 are from our local "newspapers" both are independent and reliable there editors value fact-checking and accuracy and are not in any way related to the school

reference 5 is from 'Koh Phangan Island News' is an independent local news site that again speak about the big difference having an international school will make to life on the island and the current state of education here.

reference 9 = from "Koh Phangan Information" again an independent local news site that is actually rather negative about the school, it is a lengthy comprehensive article that talks about education and literacy rates in Thailand as a whole and the education choices on the island, and how up until now many wealthy Thais have chosen to send their children off the island to be educated, and how the availability of the international school has made a notable difference to the islanders way of life.

There are now 10 references, some more notable than others ;) but I am hoping this article may now be allowed. 10 independent sources may not sound like a lot but for a small island of 125km/sq in the middle of nowhere with a total population of just 13,200 people it is significant media coverage, in fact we have been written about by every local news source on the island and being written abut by "Bangkok Post" for example is not at all likely.

on the wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28high_schools%29 it mentions how hard it can be for schools in Asia to find reliable internet sources - we are a small island within Asia and this seems to be exactly the problme I am encountering, we are very notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia but it is all local coverage.

"In major developed countries, many independent, reliable sources about schools can be found on the Internet, beyond the scope of the trivial. However, outside those countries, and particularly for countries in Asia and Africa, Internet coverage is poor. Where this is the case then, to avoid systemic bias, local sources should be sought."

Could I ask for your advice how to proceed so we can get the article included in wikipedia and part of the encyclopedia.

schools notability guidelines. SwisterTwister talk
06:01, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi Sarah white 1 - I'm afraid SwisterTwister is correct. Regarding your sources, a couple are from blogs, so they don't count, same with the Youtube source. The issue with sources like real estate sites, city sites, etc. are they are constructed to advertise for that particular community, and so therefore they are not the most reliable sources, since they tend to simply write about almost anything to do with the location. It is very rare that an elementary school qualifies for the notability criteria. I wish I had better news. Onel5969 TT me 15:56, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

12:05:04, 9 February 2016 review of submission by Klidenengro


Dear Onel5969,

Thank you for reviewing the proposed Wikipedia page on Violet M Digby and for your constructive comments.

The issue of notability is an interesting one. You invite me to make a case for Violet, but the task is one which is hampered by distance in time, by fashion and by the indifference to the role of women which prevailed in her lifetime. Violet was a notable woman of her generation. At the time of Partition in 1947 there were fewer than 700 British members of the Indian Civil Service, and few of them were accompanied by their wives. Violet, as the wife of a senior British High Court Judge, Kenelm George Digby, was one of very few such women in India, and, as such, was extremely well known to her peers, however insignificant the role of such ‘First Ladies’ may seem today. Even though the notability of her husband is sufficient for him to qualify for a page in Wikipedia, in my first draft, I sought to avoid the association with her official position as the wife of this very senior Indian Civil Servant out of a sensitivity to the feminist norms of our own generation. In the latest draft I have tried to suggest her status a little more strongly.

The history of the British in India has been similarly out of fashion since the end of Empire, but as the distance in time increases, so has an interest in a more nuanced approach to the complex relationship between the governors and the governed. Violet M Digby is a part of that complex mosaic, as is her role as a ‘traditionalist’ in the history of the St Ives colony of artists, in which interest continues to grow (in the form of at least one television programme [The Art of Cornwall, BBC 2010, presented by Dr James Fox] and a number of newspaper articles, e.g., http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/may/09/tate-st-ives-modern-artists-localism .

Violet’s notability as a member of the St Ives Society of Artists (STISA) is also clouded by the politics of the colony, but for reasons other than that of her gender. It is curious and unfortunate fact that none of the historians of STISA have compiled a page for Wikipedia, choosing instead to write about the fractiousness of the society in other media. An online search will suggest the range of material. The reason why Violet M Digby does not immediately appear in the online search is partly explained by the old maxim that ‘history is written by the victors’. Violet was on the losing side of the factional dispute between the ‘traditionalists’ and the ‘modernists’. David Tovey (www.stivesart.info), who had access to Violet’s diaries, wrote an article about Violet M Digby reproduced on page 35 of ‘Violet M Digby, A St Ives Painter in Kashmir’. The following extract will give some flavour of why the traditionalists, like Violet, lost out.


The artistic community in St Ives during the 1950s was divided into cliques and was riven with ill feeling. After the split of 1949, which left permanent scars, there were further bust ups within the Penwith Society, as Nicholson and Hepworth sought to convert it into a society for abstract artists only. Leonard Fuller, Marion Hocken and other more traditionally minded artists, who had been founder members of the Penwith Society, were soon made to feel unwelcome and drifted back to STISA. Then, in 1955, there was a further coup within STISA, when Bernard Ninnes was ousted as Chairman, for holding too modernist an outlook, and a more reactionary committee was put in place, which featured leading marine painters, Claude Muncaster, as President, and Charles Pears and STISA founder, George Bradshaw, as Vice-Presidents. For instance, Muncaster, whom Violet records as socialising with in her diary and who shortly afterwards became president of RSMA, launched into an astonishing tirade in his first AGM, calling extremist forms of modern art “dangerous, decadent and destructive” and “a sort of Teddy-boy business” influenced by the Russians! Whilst this narrow-minded attitude now seems laughable, traditionalists in the late 1950s became increasingly indignant at the attitude that the media were taking towards representational art, for it became the target of brutal disparaging remarks, whilst funding bodies would not even contemplate giving it any support. Many traditional artists, who had enjoyed successful careers, were now facing financial ruin, and were exceedingly bitter.

In the Wikipedia guidelines about notability to which you directed me, is another contentious matter, which is that of sources. Clearly, and for good reason in the majority of cases, Wikipedia favours secondary sources, over less accessible primary source material. In the case of Violet Digby there is a considerable body of work and a large archive of material about her, which has only recently been made available to those who wish to examine it. Most academics would surely prefer primary to secondary sources, and the primary sources are now available and have been examined by historians and enthusiasts. This primary source material has resulted in a book about Violet, and has attracted the interest of historians of Cornish Art like David Tovey (http://www.stivesart.info). In the Violet Digby archive is a letter from David Brown, then Assistant Keeper of the Modern Collection of the Tate Gallery in London, seeking more information about Violet for the gallery records, saying that he was given the address by Howard Hodgkin, who also qualifies for a Wikipedia page.

The trustees of the Violet Digby collection intend to donate the archive to either the Tate Modern in St Ives, or to the Courtauld Institute in London, so that access is easier for those who do not live in Jersey CI, where the archive is now stored, and can be accessed only by appointment.

Another reason for the thinness of Violet’s presence in the record is that she did not need to, and therefore did not part with many paintings in her lifetime. Her son, Simon Digby (an oriental scholar who also appears in the pages of Wikipedia), held on to the paintings for his own pleasure. The result is that very few of Violet’s paintings have appeared in the commercial record for more than 60 years. The charity set up in Simon Digby’s name on his death in 2010 now holds the paintings, and it has been offered an exhibition of Violet’s work at the Nehru Centre in London in April of this year. After the exhibition, the trustees will arrange for the paintings to be auctioned. Thus Violet will re-appear in the commercial record and the number of Internet searches for Violet M Digby will inevitably increase. I hope that that the suggestion that Wikipedia does not have hard and fast rules, will allow some flexibility on this issue of ‘notability’. I am confident that the Wikipedia page will be a useful resource for historians of the British in India, for historians of the colony of artists in St Ives and for those that admire the work of this talented and rather curious artist.

With many thanks for your consideration.

Hi Klidenengro - I'll let another editor take a swing at the notability issue, but before they do, you really need to edit the article to a more neutral, more encyclopedic tone. Only use the artist's last name throughout, after its first mention, never by her first name. Get rid of all commentary, especially if it is unsourced, such as "...the class of British colonial civil servants and engineers which by the time of her death in 1960 was fast disappearing;" "Kidd and Mrs Carnell became firm friends and decided to remain together in Europe with their daughters, Violet and Enid, rather than return to the East to manage their husbands' households;" or "Violet had spent quite a lot of money on her expeditions to Kashmir and was feeling the pinch." Just reduce it to facts. Notability aside, it'll get declined for the tone. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 16:01, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Structure and formatting will be worked on. I'm quite new to Wikipedia. Neutrality is puzzling, as this entry is based quite heavily on two University of Riga documents, one by Rosne and the other by Gringerga, the latter was a successful thesis examined by the professors at the Riga Academy of Art.

The artist has a small following here in the UK, as well as other English speaking countries, and so a Wiki page was deemed useful to those who have an interest in this artist.

If you can be more specific regarding neutrality, I'd be grateful. Thank you.

Hi David V. Edgeworth - It's not a heavy neutrality issue, more of an informal tone, really, and quite frankly, that's the terminology I should have used to begin with, my apologies. Phrases like "...to devote the rest of his life to his art," "Their marriage however reached a critical point during the war years," and "It was in this period of his life that Arnolds Mazitis developed a strong artistic friendship," are pretty informal, as is the constant use of his full name throughout the article, after the first time, simply refer to him by his last name.

Hi Ethanjkagan - Well, the sources still don't show the notability, all but 1 are either connected to the company, or are press releases, none of which are valid to show notability (and press releases are pretty worthless, period). The article itself is still basically a promo for the software. An article tells us about the software: how it was developed, what made the development of the software significant (without just simply praising the software), who developed it, when it was released, etc. Your article is like a guidebook to the software.

Why was this submission declined? Valid, third-part sources have been used to cite the subject adequately. Although tone of writing should be more objective, less advertisement.


Hi, your elaboration is very helpful indeed. I began to wonder: to what level of neutrality I needed to go (having read the neutrality guidelines). I'm busy on other projects right now, but I'll read and re-read your other links and work on the structure and formatting in next few days-ish. I should by then have some decent quality photographs of his landscapes, still life paintings and portraits (with permissions!) and also a mugshot (well, hopefully, better than just a mugshot) of the artist to throw into a summary box feature.

On a general point, I first looked up some of his contemporaries and their Wiki entries, and the tone differed quite considerably. His mentor, Professor Valdemars Tone, has a French language Wiki page and his chess partner and friend Anslavs Eglitis has a Latvian Wiki page (even though he lived most of his adult life in California). The approach of the contributors who created those pages differ from each other in so many ways. It was hard to gauge what was acceptable. (David V.

Notability and submission for Ryder Cooley

Dear Onel5969:

Ms. Cooley has been an "artist in resident" in a multitude of colleges, museums and galleries nationally and internationally. She has, as well, received coveted awards. There is a large amount of this material, and I was hesitant about citing so much, that I guess I'm guilty of understating. She has numerous recordings to her name as well. So, I will fill the article out with the awards, honors and residencies. Thank you for your constructive advice.

As you add facts, they should be cited from independent sources (unless it's an uncontroversial thing, like parents, or date of birth, etc. - those can come from sites affiliated with the artist).

Question regarding the submission referencing : Ghatam Suresh

Dear Onel5969,

Question regarding the deletion of Steve Bresky from Choate

Dear Onel5969,

I believe Steve Bresky to be quite a relevant figure as the President & CEO of a Fortune 500 and an American billionaire. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-03-15/hidden-billionaires-in-plain-sight-emerge-as-stocks-rise. Can you explain your decision here?

Thanks, Cubs — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cubswin002 (talkcontribs) 20:08, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Absolutely, Cubswin002 - The criteria for inclusion on the page reads (among other things): "Only people who already have a Wikipedia article may appear here. This establishes notability." That's a pretty standard inclusion criteria for Wikipedia "notability" pages, else it would be too time consuming for editors to prevent lots of non-notable folks from pages like this, and the list getting clogged with a bunch of peoples' friends and relatives. Having a wikipage also helps establish the connection between the person and the list they are being added to. For example, the article you posted above mentions nothing of his having attended Choate. Onel5969 TT me 21:26, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

The article has been changed based on your recommendations and through the helpful edits of other Wikipedia editors. I am currently tracking down citations and references for one item. If a suitable reference cannot be found then the item will be deleted. U.S. Navy SEALs and their families are usually very tight lipped about their social work and efforts so it may be difficult to obtain a reference that is needed.

Thank you for your speedy initial review. Is there a link beyond the above referenced article itself that is available for tracking its progress?

I have submitted/resubmitted this article three times and it's been rejected for lack of Reliable Source of reference. I have tried to find many many sources of references, only mange to find Google Map link, Google plus link, two news papers link and two official government links, and one website (wwww.balrajeshwarmahadev.info). These all references have provided in this last edit, mentioned in second table.

Kindly help me to understand would these links reasonable enough to create this article?

Please give your comments and guidance creating this article.

Content
Balrajeshwar Mahadev Mandir (Temple) [1] is dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, situated in Mulund (West) on the junction of Balrajeshwar Road [2] and Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg [3] next to Keva Fragrances [4]also very near to R-Mall. The Balrajeshwar Mahadev Mandir [5] was established by Late Shri Godhardas Khattau approximately a 100 years ago (this event was celebrated from 22nd September to 24th September 2001).

Every year the festival of Maha Shivratri [6] (the day lord Shiva was married to goddess Parvati) is celebrated on very big scale. Thousands of devotees visit on Maha Shivratri. From 2013 every year 21 ft high ice Shiva Lingam is created for Darśana [7] around Maha Shivratri festival.

Teaneck High School extracurricular activities

Good morning:

I am questioning your opinion regarding "Peacocky/trivia" and then removing the revision. The first sentence and narrative are the truth: "Teaneck High School has a rich chess legacy , having among its alumni state and national champions." In other parts of the article on Teaneck High School, student names are given, yet when the truth about the winning chess team being "led by Kimberly McClelland", this is deleted. She was the captain of this chess team and supported by the cited article. What appears to be the problem? Coach Henry Hali WAS the coach of the winning chess team in 1997 (other coaches are mentioned in other areas of the article, why delete Coach Hali?) His son is presently a linebacker and an alumnus of Teaneck High School. Why was that deleted? These are facts, yet for some reason, unilaterally they were perceived as trivia. If that were the case, most articles in Wikipedia would be "peacock/trivia". I would appreciate a review with another editor (second opinion) to adjudicate these true statements. Thank you.14:34, 15 February 2016 (UTC)Yvonne Thornton — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yvonne S. Thornton (talkcontribs)

Hi Yvonne S. Thornton - and thanks for asking the question. First, statements like "has a rich chess legacy" are commentary. I know they pop up all the time on Wikipedia, but that's simply since there are only like 2000 active editors to watch over 5 million pages. It's nice prose, but it doesn't belong in Encyclopedia article (a magazine article would be a different outcome, where it would be entirely appropriate). Second, just because something is a fact, doesn't make it non-trivial. For example, it's a fact that David Patent came in 2435 in the 2015 Boston Marathon. I can even cite it (although you do have to put in the 2300-2400 parameter in the search it brings up), but it's still trivia. While inclusion of names in articles do not have to reach the same level of notability as they would to get an article, to simply include names of non-notable folks is pretty much the definition of trivia. It dilutes the article. Now, if Joel Benjamin had been the coach of the team, or its captain, that would be one thing. See the difference. But feel free to bring a discussion up on the talk page of the article if you still disagree. That's the nice thing about Wikipedia. Consensus. I could be wrong. Don't think I am, but if you do, you are free to bring up a discussion. Take it easy. Onel5969 TT me 15:03, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your clarification. It makes a lot of sense. I can't get over learning that there is only 2000 active editors for 5 million pages. Good luck to you! Have a nice day! 22:00, 15 February 2016 (UTC)Yvonne S. Thornton — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yvonne S. Thornton (talkcontribs)

14:40:36, 15 February 2016 review of submission by Meddy007


Hello Onel5969,

I would like to have your feedback on the article about Diamond Trust Bank (Tanzania) Limited. I would like know what made the article appear as an advertisement, and how I can better it to become a valid article on Wikipedia.

Hi Meddy007 - The biggest issue is the lengthy list of branches. Only of interest to potential customers. The rest is relatively ok, except for the sentence "transforming itself from a community based finance house into a growing non-bank financial institution (NBFI), extending its services to the general public of Tanzania," which while informative, is also promotional. Hope this helps. Onel5969 TT me 19:43, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Rejected article

Hello Onel5969, I am writing to you as you are the last reviewer of my draft 'Karlovac Piano Festival'. During last several months I tried to improve my article based on all the previously suggested comments. At this point, I am not sure I can do anything more to make it better. My impression is however that your rejection is narrow minded, and as such it doesn't acknowledge the real value of this subject in its pertinent nature. I am a long-time Wikipedia user and at the moment very puzzled about Wikipedia values. Wikipedia covers all kind of 'trash - yellow journalism' topics, and it doesn't want to acknowledge such INTERNATIONALLY recognized festival. A knowledgable reviewer should know that fine-arts events are difficult cultivate and promote. In that respect, Wikipedia should potentially be more flexible when evaluating referential background of those types of subjects. Of course, I am doubtful that this message will change any outcome, but I just want to express my disappointment.

Hi
WP:CIT on how to properly format citations. When you do format them, put the parameter language= in the citation, so that readers will know the citation is in a foreign language. Also, even though the underlying references are in a foreign language, the citation should be in English. Regardless, I'm going to move it to the mainspace. I'd appreciate it if you could format those citations, and please try to add another citation, as it might not pass an AfD challenge with its current references. Onel5969 TT me

Request on 18:15:37, 15 February 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Knayeri


Frankly, I am baffled by the reason given for rejecting my submission "Yadullah Khosroshahi" because is not shown to be notable! How can a central leader of the key industry in Iran, the oil industry, and of the Iranian labor movement, in four generations NOT BE NOTABLE! Iran has been ruled by U.S.-backed dictatorship from 1953-1979 and since 1979 by a clerical dictatorship. Both regimes crushed Iranian workers when they tried to organize a union or demand improvement in their lives. Khosroshahi and his colleague defied these regimes and organized oil workers in unions, strike committees and workers councils. If the historical significance of these actions is lost tot he reader is probably because he/she does not know the Iranian history, that the general strike by the oil workers in October-November 1978 broke the back of the Marshall Law and the Shah's ;leadership. Khosroshai was directly a key leader of that effort.

But what are the sources for a biography of Khosroshahi? There are literally dozens of interviews, articles that he generated in his life time. For a biography I drew on two of his autographical interviews. There are also a number of tributes paid to his life as a labor leader. I cited a number of them all published in Arash, a dissident journal published in Paris, in exile. There are generally no venues to publish about labor leaders who ere jailed and tortured by the Islamic Republic inside Iran. So, what other sources do you expect to find about Khosroshahi? Those who support labor rights praised him. Those who oppose labor rights jailed and tortured him and kept silent about his significance to the Iranian history.

As for my own credentials: I am a retired academic with 30 years of service at the State University of New York and University of California at Berkeley. During this period, I have written hundreds of articles for peer-reviewed journals and served as an editor on a number of editorial board of academic journals. So I need not take an introductory course in Wikipedia on how to write and edit an article. Khosroshahi belonged to the labor movement who members are not academic and therefore do not write about their lives and struggles. Because I was fortunate to know Khosroshahi and collaborated with him as co-editor for Labor Links I felt an obligation to introduce him to the world through an entry in Wikipedia.

So, I appreciate your constructive help to get his biography completed and published on Wikipedia. As all entries are, this one will improve over time. I hope to collect and add a list of his work at the end of this essay later.

Thank you for your assistance.

Please kindly review this submission. I have followed all indications and advices from fellow editors. I would like to know how it is possible that a below middle management project manager Roberto Ripa can have a wikipage already now since 2 years but the CEO since the last 14 years does not have his own page. There are well documented resources from reliable editors and publications. The article is written in a matter of fact tone not indifferent to other articles written about same level professional colleagues. Please indicate specifically how this article may be published.

Hi 11lionsd - since you've already resubmitted, let's let another editor take a swing at the article. And I have no idea who Roberto Ripa is... doesn't seem to be an article on Wikipedia about any person by that name. Onel5969 TT me 22:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Draft:EMDEX
- My final submission
When leading global research institutions are looking for drug data from Nigeria and West Africa, they look up EMDEX.
When a pharmaceutical manufacturer in Asia is researching on pharma market in Africa, they turn to EMDEX.
When an NGO in North America or elsewhere is looking for clinical drug reference for use in Africa, EMDEX provides most of the answers.
How else do you validate the notability of a publication?
EMDEX (full meaning Essential Medicines InDEX) has been supporting clinical best practice in Nigeria and the sub region for 25 years. 2016 is the 25th anniversary of EMDEX.
EMDEX is a drug formulary used by Nigeria’s healthcare professionals. An authoritative reference on all drug products approved for use in Nigeria.
As a reference source of drug and therapeutic information, EMDEX is used in every healthcare community in Nigeria. Globally, pharmaceutical companies and research organizations use EMDEX when studying Nigeria’s pharmaceutical market.
EMDEX is a pharmacy publication and some background knowledge in health science is required to be able to understand and edit the subject effectively.
Let’s examine Wikipedia notability requirements vis-a-vis the EMDEX draft submission.
“Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed”
EMDEX is essentially the subject of this research work (reference below) by postgraduate pharmacy students at University of Benin, Nigeria. The study validates the widespread use of EMDEX in Nigeria.
"Udezi, W.A.; Oparah, A.C.; Enyi, K.U. (July 2007). "An Investigation of Drug Information Needs of Nigerian Pharmacists". SAGE journals 41 (vol. 41, no. 4): 471–479. doi:10.1177/009286150704100405. Retrieved 16 January 2016"
The other references cited are all secondary sources and have no affiliation to EMDEX organization. The studies are published in internationally acclaimed journals.

LINDOZ 1 (talk) 21:52, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

I wish to appeal your decision. First, your position is that an entry for Wikipedia MUST BE based on mainstream publications. In this view,

Lech Walesa
would not have had an e try had the Polish Communist dictatorship could have destroyed Solidarity early on.


Second, you belittle sources that Iranians value highly. Arash Magazine that is not longer publishing was the premier opposition magazine for the Iranian intellectuals in exile. The March 2010 issue devoted an entire section to tributes to Yadullah Khosroshahi because of the notable role this man played in the Iranian labor movement and in the struggle against the Shah's regime and the Islamic Republic (the link is to the web edition but it was printed as a magazine and sold across the world). You do not notice another valued magazine--Though and Society published in Iran until his editor had to flee repression and took asylum in Sweden.

Third, Wikipedia has published other entries on the Iranian labor and socialist issues and people with far fewer citations. For example, see the entry for the

Labour Party of Iran
which has only one reference.

Fourth, if in principle Wikipedia editors accept that Khosroshahi is entitled to an entry then I would be happy to work with them to edit the text to match whatever style they find appropriate. But to deny that this man is indeed a historical figure is to deny Iranian history at least for the big majority of Iranian.

Please let me know how to proceed.

Thank you.
