Hi, I hope I am doing doing it right. first time user, still learning. I am writing in reference to the rejected draft article on International Project Management Association (IPMA) . I believe I understand the reference issue. I am collecting as many reference as possible. it is more challenging as expected as IPMA is a non profit organisation and most of the source (even the standards) are free and downloadable from their website itself. The fact that IPMA is constituted by member association across the world, if I cross reference them as reference in the article, would that be sufficient? Any other advices are welcomed. Many thanks. Cznal (talk) 18:27, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

@

independent

, and sources that offer significant coverage of the subject. A good place to look is in reputable newspapers or journals. For instance, if the Guardian or the New York Times has articles discussing the IPMA, that would go a long way. Referencing member associations can help substantiate individual claims in the article, but for notability purposes you will need references with substantive content, not just passing mention of the subject.

Let me know if you need any further guidance! Thanks,

Thank you for the review. Bocșa mentions ' Deutsch-Bokschan, Neuwerk' as the German name, Icebreakers of Germany has a redlink for a vessel under that name. And an extended search in enwiki shows most of the other Neuwerk's of this list. I have only selected those that show up in Wikidata or a causing common issues like in the current VIAF entry for Neuwerk (G). Additonally I translated Great Tower Neuwerk from German. Please reconsider and let me know if there is anything else missing. --Aeroid (talk) 21:39, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

2) http://www.ocregister.com/articles/meade-509489-company-based.html I can use this to reference the location of Spireon in Irvine, CA?

3) http://www.cutimes.com/2014/05/02/piloting-service-to-subprime-borrowers I can use this to say that Spireon does loan servicing solutions.

  • Draft:USA Masters Diving (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I am trying to figure out what else I need to do to get my page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:USA_Masters_Diving approved. As far as notability we are similar in scope to US Masters Swimming which already has a wiki page. I believe I have referenced our page in a similar manner, but I could be wrong. (We are not the same organization as our rules and meets are for the most part separate from each other). Most of my information comes from historical documentation which unfortunately is on our site (mastersdiving.org). I apologize for the trouble, but I am trying to do this right.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

notability

. While primary sources like the USA Masters Diving website do contain some information, it is by the organization and thus doesn't offer objectively independent content about the organization. That's why we require that articles rely on third-party sources that have in-depth coverage of the organization. I took a look through the references that have been added; some of them are just lists of upcoming competitions, which don't say anything about USA Masters Diving. Don't get me wrong—those types of references can be useful for content later on, but they don't demonstrate notability, which has to be shown in order for an article to be accepted.

I see that you've resubmitted the draft, so while you wait for another reviewer to take a look in the coming days, keep looking for reputable sources to add. Journals, magazines and newspapers are a good place to look. If you have further questions, you're also welcome to ask at

  • Draft:Werner Schlager Academy (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The ITTF is an independent Federation-they are not sponsored by the WSA or something like that. Why is an artiicle from them about the WSA not reliable? Also ORF is the Austrian Broadcaster- they wrote articles about us-what is the problem there??

Why do you think WSA is not notable? It is not just a company-it is one of the most important table tennis centers worldwide-respected in China where table tennis is the national sport and all around the world as well. Guests from all continents have practiced in the WSA over the last 5 years. 26 languages are spoken here permanently. So many table tennis players that have Wikipedia Articles are training in the Academy. I put links to their sites in the article.

On the german Wikipedia site-the WSA has an article since long ago!!! See here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Schlager_Academy

Hi, thanks for inquiring here. When I reviewed the draft, the ITTF references were not yet in the document, so I couldn't assess the article based on those references. You're always welcome to resubmit when you have addressed the concerns mentioned in the review!

Notability means something different on Wikipedia than it does in the dictionary. You can read about it at

that does not meet the notability rules I mentioned above. More references just might do the trick.

It's also worth noting that different language Wikipedias have different standards. The English and German Wikipedia standards on notability do not necessarily align, so topics on one site might not necessarily be suitable for the other.

. To be clear, once you've established notability, primary sources can be used sparingly, but they don't help establish notability itself.

If you're happy with the draft, you can resubmit it for review and another reviewer will come along to offer their feedback. (I try to let others be involved when there are re-reviews involved.) I think you could probably expand the part about the EB-5 visa process a bit, as that seems like the most notable thing about the firm.

This is a really bad decision.

Ilkley RFC is in the same league (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_League_3_North) as other clubs and they all have wikipedia pages. Surely this means they are notable?

Also you will find lots of the other clubs don't have independent sources.

Please reconsider.

Hi, and thanks for inquiring here.

Hello again Wikiisawesome, Your additional comments are welcome. In view of the fact that the Wiki page "Azincourt - novel" sets a precedent, I request that my draft be approved. Additionally, I have cited a handful of references throughout the text as the publication follows the history of the period - indeed is written around the history of the time. Furthermore, gratis copies of the book have already been sent for review to a number of notable authors (of this genre of Historical Fiction, Saul David & Simon Scarrow) and to the Historical Novel Society in the UK. I would have loved to have Bernard Cornwell's review but he simply doesn't do them. This can/will take some time, so I would be pleased to add them to my approved article as they come in at that time. Thanks and looking for your support.

Thank you for your feedback. When it comes to closely paraphrasing, there is only so much you can do when the information is data-based and straight forward. I prefer not to "fluff up" information that doesn't need to be added to, just to put it into my own words. I have made sure to properly cite where the info was received. I could include more direct quotes, but that means that there will be a lot of direct quotes in the article, which is not suggested. Please advise. Thank you.

@TeamWiredEMBA: Yes, it is a bit of a tricky situation. I'd suggest doing your best at rephrasing where you can. It's alright to have some quotes, but if the quotes are a whole paragraph long, that's probably excessive.

I find it helpful to close the document and rephrase it without looking at the original. That forces you to think with your "own" words, rather than the ones from the original source. Give it a shot and see how it goes! Let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Draft:DataPlow (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello. Please understand that I am inexperienced with editing Wikipedia articles.

The company DataPlow is referenced several places in the categories of SAN and clustered file systems. It is one of the older companies developing this type of file system. Information about the DataPlow file systems on Wikipedia is not completely accurate, and this page as well as the DataPlow SAN File System (SFS) page are attempts to resolves some of these issues. In my edits, I also changed the Nasan page (DataPlow's Nasan Clustered file system). For instance, the Nasan page mentions that Nasan was named after a city in Japan. This is not correct - Nasan = NAS + SAN = Network Attached Storage + Storage Area Network. Also, DataPlow did not license a modified version of Nasan with the Zetera technology but rather a modified version of SFS. Some users and reviewers have called DataPlow's SFS as SFS-FS.

As I understand the history page (remember, I'm new and inexperienced), portions of the Products section were removed because they appear to copied or paraphrased from DataPlow's product page. Do you have any recommendations how to convey this information?

The remaining portion of the Product section includes USPTO references and was created via numerous searches on the USPTO website to summarize patent numbers, filing dates, and issue dates. These links point to full US patents; the abstracts of these patents give some background to the actual products, but a link is probably better than fully quoting the abstracts. Plus, the patents are exactly the actually products.

The rest of the wiki includes background with respect to DataPlow, the University of Minnesota (GFS project), and DataPlow's relationship to Zetera. This information is unique and correct.

Please let me know if you have questions or concerns. Cheers.

I also have to link it to the 'North Carolina Highway 147' page. The page is written very poorly with incorrect history as well as broken citations 3, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16. It is unclear where the information for citation #4 is located. Citations 6, 7, 8 can only be accessed by purchasing them through the Herald Sun website. Citation 12 references a construction start date of March 2015, when it didn't actually start until April 22 (http://www.wral.com/construction-on-durham-s-east-end-connector-to-begin-in-february/14599065/)

Hey, I simply wanted to say I enjoy seeing your presence around here and am also happy you reconsidered your retirement from June. I started thinking it was interesting you've been here almost ten years yet I had never seen you but I noticed you started becoming more active in January (before I returned from an extended break). I myself have basically been here almost ten years and have seen a variety of events here which also caused me to leave (especially in late 2012) until returning in April. I myself have been witnessing drama here recently and I consider retiring again but I simply hope for the best. Cheers from the United States, SwisterTwister talk 08:36, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

This is a "chicken and egg" problem: Sarat Chandra Chatterjee's work is unknown in the English speaking due to lack of English good translations, and lack of familiarity leads to his work being neglected and unknown. Encyclopedia Britannica (EB) notes "Perhaps first among novelists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries is Saratchandra Chatterjee, whose social concerns with the family and other homely issues made his work popular. But the early 20th century is certainly best known for the poet who towers head and shoulders above the rest, Rabindranath Tagore.

The Special Barnstar

Hey wia, good to see another fellow Canadian around here. I've run into you whilst recent changes patrolling, and looking at your contributions you are quite a prolific editor! You make lots of minor, semi-automated edits, but don't let the "minor" get you down -- minor edits are often overlooked (even hated by some!), but they mean a lot to the encyclopedia. Normally I'd give you the "Minor Barnstar" for that, but you've also been helping out with anti-vandalism as well, and being a vandal fighter myself, I have high respect and a lot of admiration for Wikipedians like you and me. So take this special, shiny, dazzling barnstar as a reward for your hard work, which never goes unnoticed. At least, not by me. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 01:14, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I understand that a large part of the submission was rejected/removed because some of it was taken directly from my husband's (Max Zimmer) website. I have two questions: would I be able to paraphrase the information that describes his work and then provide links as I did before, within the paragraphs, or do I need to use footnotes instead - for example - after the title of one of his books mentioned in the body, I would provide a footnote reference below. Please help, because I really want to share his bio and body of work with all. Also, would I be able to upload a photo of him? Thanks so much for your help!
