About Rejection of Sustainable Manufacturing draft
Hi David,
thanks for your comments on the Sustainable Manufacturing draft. I agree that the concept of sustainable manufacturing could be partially overlapped with the "Sustainable Design" concept. The same entry could be added as an example, similarly to the the case of sustainable agriculture. However ,in my opinion, it could be useful adding a specific new entry due to the following points:
- The Sustainable Manufacturing is related to "making" physical objects rather than "design" sustainable products
- The Sustainable Manufacturing is a very wide concept that involves specific constrains at industry level
- The Sustainable Manufacturing is already a policy and a research objective for which wikipedia do not provide mention
- The previous examples of sustainable product design are mainly devoted to the simple design process while sustainable manufacturing mainly involves infrastructure and mechanism to change current production processes, in such a sense the Sustainable Manufacturing is an implementation process of bottom-up technologies.
Please, consider revising your choice. I would propose to add a mention to sustainable manufacturing as an example of sustainable design for production systems while I would leave the entry. I look forward your kind reply
Best regards

Hi there, thank you for your help in developing my first post. I'm trying to understand what constitutes nobility. The person I'm writing about has appeared on the tv show Nashville, which was nominated for Golden Globes and Emmy awards. His reach is about 8.1 million people per month and can be heard across 63% of the U.S.A (http://compassmedianetworks.com/index.php/2017/01/04/townsquare-announces-multi-year-syndication-extension-with-compass-media-networks/). Other DJs with similar backgrounds are also featured on Wikipedia. Examples are as follows:

draft approval
Hello i have this draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Soo_Yeon_Lee
There are references from USATT, NY times and many many more, but it still dont get approval. one of the comments was "The USATT, Khan, LASplash, and ITTF articles are the best here" There are references from all these suggested websites.
Furthermore,your last comment was about tennis notability. The sport is table tennis ;)
Felonious Munk article
I'd like to improve that article, but I'm unsure about what qualifies. There are correspondents from The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore who have articles. What makes him different? I'm also unsure about why a theater show that was performed in multiple cities and reviewed by multiple publications doesn't qualify for "notability". I do understand the regional Emmy Award not qualifying. However, the viral youtube video series, including the various national TV appearances that followed would qualify, no? There are a number of youtube presenters present on wiki who have no other notability beyond youtube. The other question I have, as I've contributed to other articles, is what citations qualify as acceptable? A review in the Washington Post doesn't in this article, but does in others. As Munk has appeared on CNN, Fox, and Comedy Central, and those aren't considered sufficient for notability, what can i do to improve this article?

Hello. I was trying to create an entry for our Chanticleer Authors Conference now that we have gained some notoriety. I tried to simply report the facts, not talking about pricing or early bird deals etc. I don't want to spend any more time on this if there is no point, but it does seem that pages like this are possible, example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolinas_Writers_Conference
I can't see much difference between that page and ours except that they list some of their faculty who are NYT best sellers. We also have NYT best sellers on our faculty but I thought that mentioning such a thing would seem like a sales pitch.
Please let me know if name dropping with a faculty list, or other changes would make a difference. Thanks

12:06:33, 11 January 2017 review of submission by Brx8r
Hi SwisterTwister, I gather from your response that you take issue with Donnelly's career being linked closely with Penn & Teller, or Penn Jillette specifically - and a few comedians. But I assure you the sources are there for references to Donnelly specifically. I've also added a couple more sources about awards and the impact/reach Donnelly has through his podcast work - an influence I am aware is growing rapidly and foresee his inclusion here inevitable. Some of the existing sources come from major LV newspapers, Las Vegas Sun, Review Journal, and Las Vegas Weekly. This is more of a question about how to improve the article than a request for re-review at this stage. I'm by no means an expert on this subject. I more wanted to get the ball rolling as I'm sure other people would be able to provide better information than me. This has been the case for previous articles I've written which have grown infinitely better through user contributions than the stub I created. It seems things have really changed here since then though. Thank you for your time. Brx8r (talk) 12:07, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
00:24:29, 10 January 2017 review of submission by Powderday
Dear reviewer, I changed some of the references to include directly some major and notable written sources. Can you please review the draft? Kind greetings!
Powderday (talk) 20:20, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the review! Can you please elaborate?
As you can see, there are numerous links to the TPC website (in links on the draft). I hereby provide 7 references (some in depth) from third party media sources and a written publication. Can you please elaborate on what you feel is wrong with these links (one by one, please)?
In my opinion these links show that: -TPC is known internationally, and even had articles translated directly ino two other languages (more translated articles can be provided) on blogs and news sites. -the site is referenced by mainstream sources, and mentioned as an inspiration by well known figures (that do have their own wiki page) -its artwork (because it is mainly a visual arts collective) is used in textbooks and articles
1. https://deutsch.rt.com/inland/43173-trump-today-us-medienplattform-breitbart/ 2. http://web.archive.org/web/20140803114111/http://rln.fm/arhiv/politics/foreigner/1474-pamyatnik-besplatnomu-syru.html 3. https://euroislam.pl/search/cube 4. https://web.archive.org/web/20120118145225/http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/editorial/story.html?id=47798a07-e084-4ef3-8140-f832d4a18d10 5. http://web.archive.org/web/20130527142118/http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/peoples-communities-cube/ 6. https://snob.ru/magazine/entry/3692 7. https://philosophynow.org/issues/101/The_Righteous_Mind_by_Jonathan_Haidt
I understand concerns about political activism on wikipedia, and maybe the original website was too much of a 'commercial', but I think blocking sites like TPC does no credit to the "encyclopedic" character of Wikipedia. The website has been edited and provides unbiased information.
A visual satire blog with 45000 facebook likes can hardly be discarded as an insignificant upstart. This is not the Onion, but then again: it is not because an art collective does not sell to the Guggenheim that it should not be mentioned in an encyclopedia, right?
Another small (Flemish) satirical publication I know, is far less known than TPC and still has a wiki page. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27t_Scheldt Example of a very well known German satirical publication, whose wiki page does not provide better "links" than the TPC entry (in my humble opinion): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_(magazine).
I await your response with much interest,
Greetings
Tank you for your response!
My own response:
Quality of reference publications: 'notable", "independent", "major ones"
Some of them are simply blogs as you rightly say.
Some of them are well known media outlets and independent third parties: RT Deutsch, Washington Times. One of them is a book with many reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, etc. :"The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion". Have you read this book? Have you verified the correspondence between the author of this book and the owner of the TPC website? One more in depth article (in Russian: do you speak Russian? Have you verified its content?) is in a high quality non-partisan Russian publication: Сноб (журнал).
Can you elaborate on why the above mentioned sources are not independent or notable? Your comments on the quality of these sources are rather "vague". I sent you 7 examples on your talk page with the request to elaborate on each and every one of them, yet you have not done so. In this way, we will not be able to reach an agreement. Your statement of "non notable" should become falsifiable: what type of reference, in this context of visual satire, would be "notable" enough for you?
If these sources remain, in your opinion "not notable", will you proceed to delete the entry of the washington times, RT deutsch from Wikipedia (to name a few)?
Listed sources are simply announcements, interviews, listings, mentions and blogs
I will give a description of the listed sources below (many, many more can be provided, I just handpicked a few to help you point out where you feel they are not correct):
1. https://deutsch.rt.com/inland/43173-trump-today-us-medienplattform-breitbart/
Mentioned as part of the new right-wing "alternative media".
Article about the assistance (with visual Art) of the TPC community and it creator in the Norman mayorial campaign (Oklahoma).
3. https://euroislam.pl/search/cube
One of many polish translations of articles on the cube, showing its international notability.
Syndicated columnist bases an article on the TPC website. The old link is dead, so only the archive antry is provided (jpegs/pdf's of the old site can be provided if necessary).
Once more, an old web archive, but this link shows that the TPC website (and its creator) once maintained an informal column on the online versoin of the washington times (major, independent news source).
6. https://snob.ru/magazine/entry/3692
Printed magazine (50.000 copies) from Russia. The entry is old, admitted, but that should be no problem. It's a review of the website essentially calling it a succesful startup.
7. https://philosophynow.org/issues/101/The_Righteous_Mind_by_Jonathan_Haidt
Acclaimed book. The TPC owner Atbashian (and the TPC contributors) helped create artwork for it.
8. The september 2013 issue of the NRA magazine (first freedom) featured a printed version of a TPC article created by one of its contributors (Ivan Betinov). This magazine has a 4.000.000 (!!!) copy reach.
Once more, please elaborate on the above sources, some of whom are important references or at least acknowledgments of the notability of the TPC website in the alternative media.
Many, many more links will be provided on demand.
Regardging your comment; "Well, to specify, the Blogspot ones are the blogs, and then there are a few instances where their own website is cited; overall, there's still not enough major independent news from major publications to add the needed substance."
1. The sentence "there are a few instances where their own website is cited": whose website? Cited by whom? When? To what sources does this relate?
2. there's still not enough major independent news from major publications to add the needed substance. Your comment did not go into details. Why is the Washington Times, the Washington Posts, RT Deutsch etc... no major independent source? Please elaborate, as requested. By using vague terminology like you do, anybody can delete any page based on his/her own preferences.
Please elaborate.

Thanks again for the swift review. We clearly differ in opinion but I appreciate your efforts. I think there is a misunderstanding, so please reconsider after reading the comment below:
I quote: By "their own website": People's Cube's own website, and even if it's here to support their own website's information, that alone won't establish what notability here needs; The links I provided (I will once again provide them at the bottom of this post) doe not contain the TPC website itself. Can it be that this is a misunderstanding and you have checked the wrong links? I'm sorry if I contributed to this confusion. Please elaborate on the links I provide, if you can do that? As you will see, these links contain: written publications, third party news sites (like The Washington Times), mentions in foreign publications... Etcetera. Thanks in advance.
as for the news publications currently listed, (1) it's still not enough and (2) they are still too close as simply being news stories about the political announcements and activities. If there's additional major independent news from major news publications, there's no limit number, as long as they are still significant and in-depth. SwisterTwister talk 23:44, 10 January 2017 (UTC) 1. Not enough? Can you falsify this statement? What amount of news publications will be enough? Isn't this becoming a bit subjective? 2. News stories about ..... and activities: isn't that what it's all about? If news stories about your activities are not considered arguments pro "notability", than what are? Powderday (talk) 00:22, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
THE LIST: (as mentioned before, after reviewing and elaborating on these examples, I will gladly provide many more if necessary.)

- WashCapsFan (talk · contribs)
This is my first Wiki page, so please bear with me. Not sure of the rejection was for a lack of references, or a judgment of the subject not being notable enough. If the latter, not sure how to address that. I'm a big fan of University of Virginia soccer, and Todd Hitt was a top player. Even though they changed the way assists are counted, Todd is still in the top 10 all time. If the assist mechanism wasn't changed, he'd not doubt be the all time assist leader.
In addition, Todd coached a lot of the players who went on to great soccer careers. He started the Reston Football Club, funding it with his own money, and RFC teams went on to win a large number of state and national championships. He really is an important youth soccer influence and a major UVA soccer player.
The picture that I submitted was sent to me by the University of Virginia athletic department. They love Todd Hitt there. He was a big player, and he also gave a lot to the school. You can ask them yourself.
One problem I have is finding online references, since his UVA career was so many years ago. I can probably come up with some print references, if there's a way for me to scan them and submit them.
I hope this is helpful. I'm a fan of the team and feel like Todd Hitt should have a page and should also be one of the notable UVA players.
Found this video of Coach Hitt talking to a reporter after winning the Virginia State Championship. Gives you a sense of him as a coach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGoVVNHbFLk

Re: Your submission at Articles for creation: Georges Vajda (January 12)
Thanks for reviewing my submission of a draft for Georges Vajda last night. I skipped over the drafting/AfC process and created the article directly now. What should happen to the old draft?
I'm not sure what happened in the draft process to result in an article that was only a single non-sensical heading. I am not familiar with the "Draft" process, as I have only created articles directly in the past. It appeared at some point that I was supposed to explain why I was reviving an old draft, but the summery comment that I input somehow became the entire article!
I believe the article I created meets the standard for relevance and notability, given that it appears on the French Wikipedia already, and that the sources cited are solid and objective. --Think Fast (talk) 15:00, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

"Regardless of publications and names listed, still not enough for actual independent notability in Wikipedia policy and it's simply too soon"
Hi David I have cleaned up the citations for the article, at least for those available on-line the others are physical publications, if you need more please let me know. The article has been re-submitted.
Could you please explain the "it's simply too soon", Michael has been a world renown photographer to over 30 years and we probably don't need to wait until he dies before adding an article about him to Wiki.

Hi SwisterTwister!
As for the notability of his contributions and the importance of “his field”, please consider the following facts. Cryptography plays an indispensable role in the digital world for data protection and, without it, modern data communications and storage systems and online services would be unimaginable.
In particular, RC4 has been the most widely used cipher on the Internet and A5/1 has been the mostly used cipher in mobile communications. Jovan Golic was the first to cryptanalyze these two ciphers at Eurocrypt ’97.
He was also among the first to cryptanalyze Bluetooth cipher widely used for short-range communications, at Eurocrypt 2002. He also found a weakness of the Japanese encryption standard MUGI, which together with a follow-up work caused it to be recently withdrawn. His results on nonlinear filter generators at FSE ‘96 had a deep impact on proprietary encryption systems. (And so on. ) Existing Wikipedia entries and citations clearly support these facts. In the nineties, he published in prestigious publications many influential papers significantly promoting the area of stream ciphers, which had been previously constrained mainly to proprietary and secret encryption used in the military and other similar systems.
ku'ualoha ho'omanawanui entry
Dear SisterTwister,
Thank you for reviewing my entry. I'm interested in improving it for notability, but had a comment and a question.
It may not be obvious, but the Hawaiian Airlines Magazine is one of the major sources of journalistic reports, in terms of feature articles. In the islands, we have one major newspaper, so journalists often end up having to go to touristic venues for their more in-depth reporting. Along with Honolulu Magazine, Hawaiian Airlines Magazine is one of a handful of established venues for cultural and social reporting of major artistic, business, and literary figures. Are you not considering the specific landscapes of regional news, to evaluate reliability? Are you only looking at newspapers in major cities?
Here are the journalistic and other awards won by this magazine for reporting-- http://www.hanahou.com/pages/about.asp?PageID=2
Also, why doesn't news of an award given by the Modern Language Association--which is THE main professional organization of the English discipline--qualify as notable? If you are only looking at mainstream news, rather than academic sources, this narrows the field of information considerably. Academic sources are generally considered much more credible than corporate news sources, especially if the news is about awards selected by discipline-wide organizations that encompass professionally trained experts in the field. In the fields of writing, language, and literature, the MLA is beyond credible, as an organization and a source. It has over 25,000 members in 100 countries across the world. Its awards are highly competitive and viewed as professionally valid. Wikipedia has often included information on community-based awards, such as the science fiction and fantasy community's Nebulas and Hugos, so why not awards by a professional organization whose membership includes basically all English teachers and English professors in the globe?
Here is information on the scope of the MLA-- https://www.mla.org/About-Us/About-the-MLA
I look forward to hearing from you, and thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, this is in regards to the recent page I tried to create for LikeFolio, an investing app/service. I received notes about the companies notability. I'm not quite sure I understand why it is not considered notable? It's had press on various mainstream media (Yahoo Finance, Fox News, Forbes, it's data is used inside of the TD Ameritrade platform, one of the largest financial companies in the world. It's won awards from well recognized financial technology companies, including CNN Money, and it's data is being used in a Georgetown University's McDonough School of Busines study).

03:15:19, 10 January 2017 review of submission by Mcintouch
Hi There! Thanks for reviewing my recent contribution. I was wondering as, you mentioned my submitted references are not "enough to satisfy standards as they are still too announcement-like". I'm just trying to understand what exactly do I need to submit. This is a retail chain with over 21 locations. Similar companies like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Colombe_Coffee_Roasters and [[1]] are not different when compared to what I've also submitted.
I'd appreciate any help you could offer.

13:58:52, 10 January 2017 review of submission by Vgaidash
Dear Sir/Madam, I have struggled to rewrite the initial deleted article and to make it look like an encyclopedia entry avoidng comparisons and self-promotion epithets. Where possible I have added the links to sources, some of them are in Russian/Ukrainian. Yes source number one is an announcemens. I should be most grateful if you could advise me what is wrong with it, since other entries such as this one featured today - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalki_Koechlin also has announcements in it sources. Source number two to my draft is not an announcement.
May I assure you that the article cannot and is not intended as advertisement since Ukrgassydobuvayynya sells all its gas to its mother company Naftogaz - that is Ukrgasvydobuvannya has the only wholesale client! So the text does not target any clients!:)
I am writing the article about the major gas extraction company in Ukraine and as a writer I think the fact that it was rated by an independent rating agency an number one taxpair by volume of taxes paid to the country's budget. I have added the necessary link №2 in the references.
Maybe you could kindly inform me which parts of the article look in your view as advertisement? I really need your feedback and I do not have any intention of cheating the Wikipedia. I just want to create an information oriented article. Regards, Volodymyr Gaidash

Submission Rejection - Gordon Kipping
Hi David, You recently reviewed my article on architect Gordon Kipping and did not approve it for publication. Your reason was because it was "not satisfying our standards and policies and this still isn't far from it because it simply mirrors what would be found in his own websites and listings, something that articles are not used for here; the awards are still minor and there's never any automatic inherited notability from clients, because that would still be advertising; basically this suggests it's simply too soon in his career." This simply isn't true. He is an established and recognized person in the architecture community and has produced works that are very notable. I referenced many sources that did not come from his own website and listings, that I found independently from his own sites. He has been published numerous times and worked on many significant projects. Also there are many articles on Wikipedia about architects that are much less notable than he is. I can point them out for you if you'd like. Please let me know how I can get this article published because I think it is important information to anyone studying, practicing, or interested in Architecture. Thank you.

Submission rejection for Shore Capital Partners
Hi SwisterTwister, thank you for your feedback once again. Sorry for disturbing you multiple times, but we're really eager to launch our page.
I think I understand the logic of your argument, but I am not a 100% clear. As a result, I simply removed all references that pointed to articles containing information regarding our company's financials, funding, etc. However, this left us with no choice but to get rid of references altogether, so I am wondering if we can launch the page as it is without any references. Since our company is relatively young, we don't have much coverage from major news publications, and it is really hard finding independent articles that don't introduce us in numbers. After all, we are known in Chicago for starting out small with personal investments from our founders and raising $112.5 from $10 million of initial investments. What can I do if I have trouble finding independent articles? Please let me know, your help much appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjiangscp (talk • contribs) 23:19, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
Draft:Jiří Walker Procházka
Dear SwisterTwister, I think I have a problem with the fact that the 3 cited works on Czech SF are published and recognized as reliable only here in Czech Republic. One of them was written by O. Neff, who is recognised in en-wikipedia. But this book is in Czech too. You see, JWP writes SF in Czech and most info on him is in Czech again. So people in the English SF world scarsely know of him. I wanted to get some short info in the English speaking version of Wikipedia to break this vicious circle. I created a stub and was gradually forced to expand it. Now I got to the dead end, if you have no advice for me in this, I promise to quit in a month or so. I reckon that the info on JWP will find his way through personal contacts in the end. Ondřej Neff, Josef Nesvadba, Vilma Kadlečková, Miroslav Žamboch, Jaroslav Velinský, Ludvík Souček they all "made it" on similar terms. Maybe the problem is some trivia in my approach and it can be cured. Looking forward to your reply... Erempari (talk) 16:29, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello SwisterTwister, Could you please expand on your comment: "Comment: What this specifically needs is major book reviews because the current sources noticeably consist of only announcements, listings, blogs and mentions. SwisterTwister talk 22:15, 13 January 2017 (UTC)"?
There are two book reviews included in the article for Rowland Saifi; two interviews of Rowland Saifi by well-known, internationally-circulated newspapers; reviews of an exhibition that Rowland Saifi's work is included in, with specific reference to his work, which is a higher tier review.
Also, could you please explain why the article for Emily Pettit was accepted in light of your comments?
I can remove the "Work" section from the Rowland Saifi article if that helps. I can also add his profile from the Poets&Writers Directory, and note that he has been asked to sit on the judge's panel for Newfound Journal's prose prize, two years in a row.

Hi SwisterTwister,
Thank you for your response!
Could you please let me know what would be the specific number of reviews you need? And, which publications you would consider major?
Could you also please let me know why the following article was approved, as it contains reference to a single, 1-paragraph long book review, and a few interviews: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Pettit. Your response would allow me to understand the qualitative decisions you are making. If I compare the articles myself, I am unclear why the short review on the Huffington Post, largely a news aggregator, would be seen as a more reputable review than a focus one by a well-known artist (Mary Berger) in a well-known literary publication (Your Impossible Voice). Is the decision based on circulation numbers?

Silverlake Axis draft submission
Hi. Actually I added links to Gartner and IDC, which are recognized organizations that have profiled the company and its products. I wouldn't consider those the company's own website.
Mictan236 (talk) 02:27, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
Gartner and IDC do independent reviews on many companies in several industries. All the company provides is raw data. This data is then analyzed against the company's competitors with no influence from the company itself. Gartner actually did a deep comparison of SIBS versus other core banking products. I don't know how to show it to you because the full documents require Gartner and IDC subscriptions to access. If this is still not notable enough then I don't think there's anything else I can do.

I have a favour to ask. Over the past few months, you have reviewed a couple AFC submissions for articles related to football in Cambodia created by unregistered editors.

If you come across any more of these in the future, would please let me or a SPI clerk know before accepting them, especially if the corresponding article page has been deleted before?

Hi SwisterTwister,
thanks again for your help on improving this article.
As requested in your first comment on Jan 9 ″″(There's still not enough major reviews from major publications, focus with only major news and reviews and no press releases, trivial passing mentions or interviews. SwisterTwister talk 18:18, 9 January 2017 (UTC))″″ My response was to include links to references with weight, published by credible media only. You then wrote on Jan 13 ″″(Would still benefit from all additional major independent news and reviews. SwisterTwister talk 20:40, 13 January 2017 (UTC))″″ What would you consider independent? Since we are talking about artists and music--I would like to think all published reviews on music reflect the personal opinion of the authors who write about it. As far as this goes I did my best to pick and reference articles with a more neutral point of view. After studying quite a few other articles about artists here on Wiki I must come to the conclusion that their references are not exactly independent. Please help me understand your last request. As always, thank you for your effort. It is appreciated. Christina Katzmann07:48, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Draft: Kalray
Hi SwisterTwister,
I see that you recently reviewed a "Kalray" draft.
To be transparent, I would like to let you know that I am a current employee of Kalray. For years, our company and our products have been cited on Wikipedia, though there is no article in the name of the company. I am happy to see that one has now been created, but disappointed that it was refused.
As we are referenced over a dozen times in various wikipedia articles, I believe it is in the best interest of all concerned to have more information available about our company. Do you have any concrete advice about how to go about improving this article? I noticed that the article did not have scientific references, and it did have PR references. If I added more scientific references (we have dozens of peer-reviewed scientific papers) and took out the PRs, would you be likely to OK the article ?

Kashoo is an accounting software company, much like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KashFlow and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeAgent. Both those software companies were able to create Wiki pages with questionable "reliable" sources/referrals. Furthermore, there is a page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_accounting_software where Kashoo should be listed (and linked to appropriate Kashoo page) however it has been removed. This provides an unfair advantage to accounting software competitors.

Draft: Irene Kepl
Hi SwisterTwister,
thanks for reviewing my first article draft. I'm planning the Soundout festival at the moment and was adding Irene Kepl, because she is one of our main international guests and I wanted to add her to Wikipedia, so Australian listeners who don't know her, yet, would be able to read up on her. As far as I understand, receiving the Theodor Körner Price alone makes her significant enough to be on Wikipedia, and the new source I found for that is directly the page of the Austrian Ministry for Arts and Science. In the genre of improvised music she is basically a "star", leading to the recent publications with FouRecords and Another Timbre as well as the little older SlamRecords publication. Since in improvised music, recordings are not very common, those three publications with the most important labels in improvised music are basically cementing her in as a main player in her field. ;) So, I have added a lot of additional sources, and hope it's enough now for this article to be accepted. Thx for your work, VT

Your comment on my draft said that I needed "major publications" as my sources. But the Wikipedia guidelines for musicians and ensembles do not say anything about "major" publications. The guidelines read: "This criterion includes published works in all forms," but nowhere does it say they have to be major published works.
Two of my sources were album reviews from separate, independent websites, one devoted to folk art, the other to pirate-themed music. In my opinion, this meets the requirement of: "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself."
Please reconsider my draft without an insistence on "major" publications, as this is not one of the requirements. Cybotik (talk) 06:41, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
The websites I used as sources, despite your dismissal, have been cited multiple times by multiple contributors to Wikipedia, including in two articles in which there were only two sources referenced, and in one of those Going Overboard (album), the only other source was no longer active. If one of my sources is acceptable as the single valid source for another Wikipedia article, then it should be acceptable as one of several sources in my own article.
Follow the links to see the various Wikipedia pages using the same sources I did.

Request on 11:01:09, 17 January 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by JewishMoldova
Would you please help me to correct my article according to comments below:
1. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. 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. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.
2. This is only a business announcement advertising his services and then his own published and republished business announcements, none of it satisfies our policies since it only belongs at his own website; there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone else.

21:03:10, 17 January 2017 review of submission by Btheory78
Hello, Thank you for your review. However I am wondering how Judy Schwartz does fit the following criteria of Politician:
Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature. This also applies to persons who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them.
Also, in terms of notability, Nassau County has 1.36 million residents making it more populous than 10 U.S states. So the 2nd highest ranking government official / office holder is a prominent and influential position. In fact, Wikipedia already has an article on the current serving Chief Deputy County Executive of Nassau County: Rob Walker (New York Politician), so why would a former one be considered differently? Wikipedia even has individual articles on former members of the Nassau County Legislature (Ex: Diane Yatauro, Judith Jacobs, etc.) - positions not considered as notable as the Chief Deputy County Executive. Since Judy Schwartz served from 1999 - 2001, web archives from local papers such as the Long Island Press and Newsday are more difficult to track down since those publications still existed in print at the turn of this century. However, New York Times as a national publication did have online readership and maintained an active web archive - which is why I included it for reference to Judy Schwartz (not to mention the Nassau Coliseum controversy involved a lot of New York power players, Judy Schwartz being one of them - hence the article's title "Power Play over Nassau Coliseum."). Therefore, I am kindly requesting you reconsider this article.

I now have eight more sources than the first article on the list below, and the one valid source on that page is also one of my sources.

Submission for review
Dear SwisterTwister,
I honestly don't know why my page is being considered for deletion. I've been benchmarking pages like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_Capital_Partners and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_North_Venture_Partners, and I don't see the difference in quality of references between them and us. I don't want to point other pages, but to me it seems like there's a double standard being applied where we're being put in a disadvantage. You said that we use flat out PR material, but please have a look at my references again. My first reference is not PR material but introduces our company in the context of growing healthcare market in Chicago. Second source is from highbeam and does not passingly mention our company but showcases our company in the context of private equity. Considering that companies like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Growth_Partners use flat out PR material, I don't know why we're being considered for deletion. Could you at least give me a direct explanation of why you give a pass for some companies over others? My other references are also not direct advertisements but comments from news sources. Please have a look. Thank you
Regarding some references I included, you really have to read a few sentences of the article to realize that it is really about us. It might at first glance appear to be a passing mention, but that is not the case. Pages like Highbeam require subscription to get a full view of the article, so maybe that is why you think it's a passing mention? Also, if you look at the business magazine I referenced, it describes our company in a few paragraphs, not just as a passing mention. I invite your patience and kindly ask you to review our references once more. Thank you. Mjiangscp (talk) 17:50, 18 January 2017 (UTC) "Mjiangscp (talk) 17:50, 18 January 2017 (UTC)"
Seeking feedback on new article
Hello, I recently posted a new article on my employer’s company, Spredfast. I now see that there was a previous article, deleted in May in a discussion you took part in. I understand that I have a COI. However, I believe with this new version I have closely followed Wikipedia’s editing guidelines and that the article is written in a neutral tone and is supported with credible references. If you're able to take a look, I would appreciate feedback. Bthoma (talk) 21:39, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

00:57:41, 19 January 2017 review of submission by Evelynivy
This following source, was both online and in print. It's the official music magazine for the State of Georgia, "Georgia Music Magazine". You will see the "Georgia on my Mind" peach logo on the upper right hand part of the page. I realize that it's not the most attractive looking source, but it is credible. The Hot Place was featured in a printed edition of Georgia Music Magazine on November 3rd, 2014 and this is how the printed article appeared online: http://georgiamusic.org/members-of-television-pool-qs-converge-in-the-hot-place/. The band is relatively new, with one album and three EP's, but I believe it's a historic and important project, because of the notability of the musicians involved. Especially because the founding member, Jeff Calder, already has a Wikipedia page for his other very well known national band, "The Swimming Pool Q's" as does contributing guitarist, Richard Lloyd of Television. Though this source is an announcement, it is more than that. It's also a verification of the project, by a State-run entertainment publication. It's hard to find any more sources for The Hot Place, that are not based in music publications, since they are a musical project. For instance, there is no information on random news sites like The New York Times, or sources that are on a different topic that music. Please advise, as I would really love this to be my first article for Wikipedia. It's a notable band that is not already in Wikipedia, and that is exciting to me, for a first article. I am interested in publishing more articles on other diverse topics as well. I appreciate all of your help, and I'm willing to do whatever I need to make this a good first article.

Hello!
Before this article, I wrote another one, based in Wikipedia's best practice and other helpful articles. Also, I took as examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deloitte ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_%26_Young; Then I started to search for other types of companies and I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norauto and think it's not an unique case. Or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decathlon_Group in which there are references from their own website ( and I understand that is not acceptable ).
So, do you understand my frustration ? Thank you in advance for your reply!

Hi Dear,
I have took your advise from the help section and added more sources to my draft.
in your comment you mentioned that: "Listed sources are simply announcements and mentions"
However, the sources are not mentioning nor announcing. They are all telling her story.
Please re-check the sources, and kindly advise on what is missing in those sources, I would like to know how to test the source as you do, before re-trying to publish :)

New Entry - Papadimitriou
I saw your recent comment on my talk page stating that the subject - Odysseas Papadimitriou - is "Only best known for the company and there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone else regardless and none of this satisfies our policies." If being best known for a company disqualifies an entrepreneur from having his/her own page, then how do these pages exist: Tim Chen, Kenneth Lin (entrepreneur), Candice Galek and Elizabeth Holmes? I really don't see anything that distinguishes them from the subject of my draft.
Surfjk (talk) 23:06, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your feedback so far, but it seems to me that inherited notability is a moot point here. Wikipedia’s basic-notability guidelines state that: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."
If you simply Google "Odysseas Papadimitriou," you'll see nearly 1,000 news results. For example, Time recently included him in its list of important American voices: http://time.com/collection/american-voices/. That seems like significant coverage to me. He even has a number of patents in his own name, too: https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=pts&source=hp&q=odysseas+papadimitriou&oq=odysseas+pap&gs_l=hp.3.0.0l3j0i10k1j0j0i22i30k1l5.1614.3435.0.4755.13.11.0.2.2.0.145.1024.8j3.11.0....0...1c.1.64.hp..0.12.936.0..35i39k1j0i131k1j0i20k1.JVdjo9YmZ2I.
Furthermore, Wikipedia’s notability guidelines conclude that: “People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria.” And that leads me to believe Mr. Papadimitriou’s obvious basic notability warrants his own entry.
Surfjk (talk) 03:00, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
I really don't see how "inherited notability" fits here. Wikipedia's guidelines state that, "An organization may be notable, but individual members (or groups of members) do not "inherit" notability due to their membership. A corporation may be notable, but its subsidiaries do not "inherit" notability from being owned by the corporation." Mr. Papadimitriou is neither a member nor a subsidiary of his company; he is the founder and CEO. How can you inherit notability from something that you predated and, in fact, created? For example, does Bill Harley fail to qualify simply because most people associate "Harley" with the motorcycle brand? Both have Wikipedia entries. Does Eduardo Saverin not qualify because he's only notable for Facebook? Both have Wikipedia entries. And is Charlie Munger undeserving of an entry because he's known for his association with Warren Buffet? Both have Wikipedia entries.
The bottom line is that Mr. Papadimitriou is notable in his own right, as evidenced by his extensive media coverage and status as a recognized expert on personal finance. If every successful entrepreneur was considered notable only because of the business he created, and every inventor was merely an extension of his invention, there would be far fewer entries on Wikipedia and we would know a lot less about the important people influencing various aspects of our daily lives.
If we can't agree on this fundamental point, I think we'll need to get a second opinion from another reviewer.

I have had a reviewer SwisterTwister reject my draft page "Draw SVG", on the grounds that the article needs substantial references independent of the source.
This is nonsense - there are similar published articles about scalable vector graphics that do not have "substantial" referencing. Look at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dia_(software)#References
This is an open source software tool and it needs promotion in order to gain more "substantial references". The article meets Wikipedia's requirements.
I ask for a reconsideration, to publish the page, because it meets Wikipedia's requirements.
Please use more care in tagging sandbox for speedy deletion
You left a speedy deletion tag on a new user's sandbox (a student of mine) for content that she created all of thirty minutes before your tag. I think that is way too aggressive. Perhaps she mistakenly submitted it for review thinking she might be able to get feedback.
I have removed the speedy delete tag and will continue to work with her this semester to create a good article. -Reagle (talk) 22:47, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Draw SVG draft page
SwisterTwister, I have added as much as I can to this draft page, but this "throwback" of a legitimate article is unproductive. You incorrectly claim that it is a "clear business listing". It is not a business, and there is no commercial gain anywhere - it is software, free to use and open source (like other similar Wikipedia pages - Inkscape, Dia(software), SVG-edit), and I don't know how you can come to that conclusion from reading the article. It is free software designed to help software developers and designers. You previously claimed that there were no "substantial" improvements to a redraft. Would you like to help me out please by specifying exactly what you mean by "needs substantial references"? How many references do you think it would take to publish? Why? Is your decision based on Wikipedia guidelines? I'm trying to understand your rationale. Given my explanation, do you now agree that this is not a business promotion? There are other published pages covering similar software with just three references - yes, published. I look forward to the next re-review (again). Copeboox (talk) 07:03, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

- Solidar Suisse is a recognised charity. This is confirmed by references 3 and 5. I could hope that this would satisfy the notability criteria. There is also the fact that Solidar Suisse receives significant support from the Swiss government
- Solidar Suisse has Wikipedia entries in the French and German editions. Isn't it only reasonable to allow an English entry in such a case?

Hi, I made a few more edits to the sources on the Simply Gluten Free Magazine page. Could you please re-review?
Also, if it's still not up to par with the standards, perhaps you could help me find additional sources or tell me which of the sources I've included are good and which are not sufficient. To be honest, there are not very many news media outlets or independent news sources that write articles about magazines in general, unless that magazine hits an all-time record for something, is part of some controversy, is founded by a big-name celebrity like Oprah or Rachael Ray, or is bought or sold by another media company. I've been looking at other publications' Wikipedia pages to see what kinds of sources they use and I'm not seeing that high-quality of sources. I looked at VegNews, which has sources that aren't what I'd consider "independent news sources" and Naked Food Magazine has no sources listed at all. Also, I was looking at Whole Foods Magazine's Wikipedia page and it has 5 sources, 3 of which are its own website and 1 comes up as a 404 error and the other is just a library website that has no mention of the magazine. The sources I've provided for Simply Gluten Free Magazine's page are far superior to the sources in any of these 3 other magazines' pages that were approved by the moderators of Wikipedia, so I would like the page to please be reconsidered.

To whom it may concern,
I am unsure as to why these sources don't qualify as "reputable"? As one of the leading interior designers in the united states who has contributed to his field in such a reputable way, Scott Salvator's page should really be included. The history of interior design becoming a true art form was highly shaped by Mr. Salvator, so please advise as to how the page should be edited for acceptance.
Thank you, Nicole M Farkas
- I happened to see this discussion, and took a look at Draft:Scott Salvator. It is possible that we should have an article on this designer, given this NY Times article from 2012 "In Defense of the Decorator". But the current state of the material does not look usable for Wikipedia -- it is too promotional and includes excessive detail about Salvator's personal history. Within the first 60 seconds, an experienced Wikipedian would take out 'is recognized as one of the country’s premier designers' from the opening sentence. If you want to know how to write this, try to find a NY Times reported obituary of a designer and see how it's done (the tone and level of detail). One problem is that the Times articles where Salvator is mentioned often use a light-hearted gossipy tone (as in the social pages) and it doesn't give much to work from.

Hi, I am unsure what "major independent news" means in this case. As the article is about an academic award, it will mostly be covered by people who are interested in that specific field. There is some third party coverage, however:
- The Association for Automated Reasoning announced the call for nominations.
- Luca Aceto, a well-known scientist in the field, posted an interview with the two awardees after the presentation.
- The Newsletter of Stanford Engineering, mentions the awardees.
Would any of this or a combination suffice to justify the article?

You refused my page about Crowdyhouse a first time as you mentioned I did not add enough relevant sources to it. I added 3 paragraphs from what I found on internet, added references from Wired or even a External link from the Foreign and Commonwealth office of the United Kingdom which I think reveals something about the notability of the company. For this reason I don't understand your comment ("Still nothing had changed and it's still violating our policy WP:Wikipedia is not a business listing because this is simply what they would advertise to clients.").

Review of submission by RattleTap
Dear SwisterTwister, most respectfully I request your help with this article... I have helped many actors, musicians, authors and other notable people establish their first wikipedia articles.
I'm failing to understand why Michael Devin is not notable, or seems to be not notable. He's got a multitude of professional editorial from all kinds of music industry magazines, including Rolling Stones.
His proposal was even featured in People magazine. He's got millions of fans. His photo was taken by a woman in Italy who needed a press pass to get close to him to get his photo. If that's not notable, what is?!
Is there perhaps some kind of promotional material that needs to be omitted? To make it more "wiki-ish? I would be happy to do further editing... if you can suggest a comment please.
Best, Rattletap Rattletap (talk) 04:06, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Rattletap (talk) 21:55, 27 January 2017 (UTC) Dear SwisterTwister - I Should add for your consideration - Whitesnake of which this man is a member, is a multi platinum band that has had singles that made the top #1 in USA for many years in the 1990's. Not so long ago. They are a VERY accomplished band and still extremely popular. And I made the revisions per your request and took out the more frivolous references.
A barnstar for you!

Hey there Swister, I've disagreed with you on a couple deletion discussions in the past few months but I just wanted to take a second to let you know how much I appreciate your work. Every time I go to AfC, I see your name on tons of previous reviews and it's scary to think what the AfC backlog would look like without you. I also like your innovative way of dealing with problematic re-submitters by taking them to MfD. I don't know how you do it all, but keep up the good work! --Cerebellum (talk) 22:13, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
03:54:50, 29 January 2017 review of submission by Mhplayme1
Hi SwisterTwister:
Can you give me a little more specific advice on this rejection? Have I mis-formatted or not provided enough reference info? Do I need to send you attachments with the source references? Do we need more references? Stronger references? Art Hellyer was one of the top two highest rated radio personalities in the 1950s in the Chicago area, #1 on radio in Chicago three times during that period (some say 4 times but I'm still checking on a source for that). He achieved #1 ratings success again in the 1960s on WLS radio in Chicago. He won a national Disk Jockey of the Year award.
Or, does some of my text need re-writing for better clarity and emphasis?
Here for your consideration are the reference quotes. I'm sorry if I incorrectly or incompletely formatted the references with this article, but here they are for your review:
1. ""Chicago Tribune", Column by Eric Zorn, October 4, 1982, Section 3, P.1 and P.4: Headline: "Two stars of past find future" - "Not even a year ago, the lights were about to go out on Eddie Hubbard and Art Hellyer, two legendary giants in the history of Chicago radio: Hellyer, three times the No. 1 jock on different local stations, network TV personality and interviewer of U.S. Presidents, had been reduced to commercial spot work.." Also, "Hellyer, who worked at every major station in Chicago during his prime and rose to the top of the ratings at WCFL, WBBM-AM and WLS-FM .."
2. The Deejays" - Author Arnold Passman - The MacMillan Company, 866 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10022(1971) - Library of Congress Number: 71-119127Pages 135, 193, 198-199 pp. 192-193 - "But there were other disembodied illusion-mongers at work. Less concerned with the music, the powerful morning comic, armed with a tape recorder, was in the advance guard in adding what was termed "The Third Man" theme to radio. The production of sound effects and voice tracks contributed to a bewildering pattern on the shows of Bob and Ray, Klavan and Finch, Ted Brown and the Redhead (New York), Carl DeSuze (Boston), Ernie Kovacs (Philadelphia), Rege Cordic (Pittsburgh), Jonathan Winters (Dayton), Soupy Heinz (Cincinnati and Cleveland), Bob Crane (Bridgeport and Hollywood), Bob Arbogast and Art Hellyer (Chicago), Dick Whittinghill (Los Angeles), Don Sherwood (San Francisco), and J. Akuhead Pupule (Honolulu). Some became local legends, but few found success in television."
3. "The Encyclopedia of Chicago" University of Chicago Press - Page 241 - "The Encyclopedia of Chicago", published 2004 by University of Chicago Press: "The pre-eminent disc jockey of the 1950s, WIND's Howard Miller, commanded the country's largest local audience and was described by Time Magazine as the nation's biggest single influence on record sales. Miller's principal rival was the more rambunctious Art Hellyer who broadcast his Morning Madcap show on WCFL."
4. WCFL: Chicago's Voice of Labor 1926 - 1978, author Nathan Godfried, University of Illinois Press, Urbana, IL and Chicago, 1997, ISBN 0-252-02287-4 390 pp pp 258-259: "Art Hellyer became a popular Chicago disc jockey during the fifties. Combining wit, charm, and an amazing sense of humor, Hellyer created an alive, bubbling two hours of daily entertainment. Perhaps his best comedic moment came when he and an aide "covered" the 1956 Democratic National Convention from a broadcasting booth that was obviously the men's room."
5. * "The Deejays" - Author Arnold Passman - The MacMillan Company, 866 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10022(1971) - Library of Congress Number: 71-119127Pages 135, 193, 198-199
pp. 198-199 - "A Hogan Hero of the mid-fifties, who also said he was offered the Story post, was a Chicago joculator named Art Hellyer, who gave Howard Miller a good run over WCFL. From 1952 to 1957, Hellyer was given free reign by general manager Marty Hogan, who had begun as an announcer with WCFL and compared to the run-of-the-mill station head, had to be called courageous. Hellyer also acknowledged the incalculable assistance of a nimble partner, as has Jonathan Winters and Soupy Sales. This was his record turner, an AFM member a cut above the norm named Lenny Kaye, whom Hellyer dubbed "Dr. K, TT" (Transcription Technician). "He was the greatest talent I have ever known," said Hellyer. "I paid him out of my own pocket above what he was paid by the station because he made me. It was a combination on his part of total involvement, photographic memory, and an anticipation of what I would do. We saw each other for just those three hours a day, and it was just remarkable. We had no idea of what was going to happen until I sat down at the mike." At one point in their spree, which was truly cacophonous, it was decided to send Hellyer and Kaye to New York for a month in a talent swap with WINS's Bob and Ray. But it was called off. "They had Bob and Ray and eleven other people," said Hellyer. "It was just me and Lenny." The pair's greatest moment probably came when they "covered" the 1956 Democratic National Convention from a broadcasting booth that was obviously in the men's room. Hellyer pleaded daily for access to the convention and was finally "granted" the inside privilege. It included such tongue-in-cheek "pluses" as a "one-way mirror," "voting booths," etc., with inserted tracks of toilets flushing. The next year, Hellyer was fired. "It came at a time," said Hellyer, who like many a fiercely witty morning man said nobody had had an influence on him, "when Howard Miller and I were jockeying for the 1-2 position in the morning. One of my sponsors, the First National Bank, displayed a million dollars at Navy Pier, where I was doing my morning show. I said I thought it was wrong because it helped to build avarice and greed in us. It bugged just one man in an ad agency and WCFL was forced into canning me. But the First has sponsored me since then."
6. * "Valley Voices: A Chicago Radio History" - Author John Russell Ghrist - Published by Crossroads Communications, P.O. Box 7, Carpentersville, IL 60110-0007 - Library of Congress Catalog No. 96-83079 / ISBN Number: 0-916445-42-9 John Russell Ghrist (1992) - Pages 38,43,49,68,74,80-87,161,198,292,354,378,393,511
p.38 - "Freelancers Art Hellyer and Bill O'Connor were the only two non-staffers that manager Jules Herbuveaux approved to be on the air at WMAQ. Both had to pass strict NBC auditions." "Hellyer remembers that Hugh Downs did the news for him on his program in the mid 1950s. He told Art one weekend, "I'm going to New York to do the Home Show with Arlene Francis. I"ll be back in a week." Downs was back in the week to clean out his desk and start a new career with the NBC network in New York."
p. 43 - "Two other famous radio personalities (on WBBM-AM radio) were Paul Gibson and Art Hellyer. Hellyer was the announcer for Gibson's show. On one occasion Art asked Gibson, who had been married several times, if he had seen him the other night in a restaurant. "Were you with wife number three at table number 2? Or was it wife number one at table number 7?" The routine went on and on, infuriating Gibson. Paul, who normally did his entire program from a couple of note cards, spent the next hour on the air blasting Hellyer."
I just looked up the Wikipedia article on Wally Phillips. Wally was brought to Chicago to copy Art's radio format. He shadowed Art during Art's shows then adopted Art's imaginative radio ideas to use on his own show which then competed with Art. 10 of the 11 references in Wally's Wikipedia article were published at his death. Art is still living, so he doesn't have these type of references yet -- I would hope that you could see that Art's notability is closely comparable Wally's, with Art's major impact being in 1950s radio and Wally's commercial success being mostly in the 1960s.
I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you again,

Dear SwisterTwister, I was looking forward to your advice. But instead I found my plea in an archive of inactive discussions. It sort of made me think over it and I try to remind you of the problem by copying the text from inactive to the "active" zone. If it would be of some use to you, I think, that supporting statements coud be obtained from recognised authors like Ondřej Neff, Josef Nesvadba, Vilma Kadlečková and Miroslav Žamboch. Jaroslav Velinský would support JWP too, but he died on 19/2/2012. Alas, the last recognised - Ludvík Souček - did not meet JWP and died in 1978. By the way - there is no info in Czech wikipedia on SwisterTwister, nothing was found in the Czech wiki_dictionary as well. Does it make you unreliable? I think that the problem is only in the language barrier and it should open a bit for a really oustanding author and his work. --14/1/2017--Dear SwisterTwister, I think I have a problem with the fact that the 3 cited works on Czech SF are published and recognized as reliable only here in Czech Republic. One of them was written by O. Neff, who is recognised in en-wikipedia. But this book is in Czech too. You see, JWP writes SF in Czech and most info on him is in Czech again. So people in the English SF world scarsely know of him. I wanted to get some short info in the English speaking version of Wikipedia to break this vicious circle. I created a stub and was gradually forced to expand it. Now I got to the dead end, if you have no advice for me in this. I reckon that the info on JWP will find his way through personal contacts in the end. Ondřej Neff, Josef Nesvadba, Vilma Kadlečková, Miroslav Žamboch, Jaroslav Velinský, Ludvík Souček they all "made it" on similar terms. Maybe the problem is some trivia in my approach and it can be cured. Looking forward to your reply... Erempari (talk) 16:29, 14 January 2017 (UTC) Erempari (talk) 14:33, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your input on my Laurence Shames article. He was only indirectly referenced on Wikipedia to the Lost Experience page. I've added multiple major book reviews showing the author is a major author and clearly notable. There are now four book reviews from the New York Times, one or two from the Los Angeles Times, Variety, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews and info from Random House's site. This is much more authority than almost any author article I've seen so I can't imagine the article now satisfies even the toughest critic. Thanks so much.

Can you please tell me the proper way to link to the existing Spanish language page?
Original page: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Ministers
his is for a noteworthy english language band Prime Ministers, originally from Ecuador, now operating from Miami FL.

Scott Neeson draft
Hi SwisterTwister,
Thank you for your further discussion about this draft. I am a little confused about your comments - "our policies still are questioning this Draft, as all business articles are because obvious PR that may be involved, regardless if intended or not. Overall, this is still not significant enough for independent notability in policy"
I would appreciate some clarification, given that a) this article is about a person, not a business, and falls under the Notability (people) policy, and b) my COI has been openly stated, I have followed the COI guidelines, and a COI has no effect on the notability of a subject - the only mention of COI in the Notability (people) guideline refers to Wikipedians editing articles about themselves.
For further clarification - if I submit this article for third party editing and provide a substantial list of secondary sources, and step back entirely from the process, can the notability then be established, or is it a separate issue? Would you suggest that this is the best step forward?
Thank you again for your assistance. CallumLow (talk) 02:01, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Dear editorial team,
could you please advice what kind of sources are significant enough to meet Wikipedia standards? Monocle or Archdaily or World Landcape Architect are all independent, prestigious media, and the articles we have linked in the drafts are their editorial content. ASLA who has recognized reSITE's work by 2016 Presidents Award, attributed the prize after a long nomination process and secret vote of the Committee of jurors. Some of the media links are in Czech language given the location of reSITE. But they are all independent.
It would really help to have your explanation why these sources are not relevant or what is wrong with those.

Russell Reynolds Submission
JCTH2015 (talk) 01:21, 1 February 2017 (UTC) Hello SwisterTwister, I'd appreciate further clarification on why my Wiki submission for Russell Reynolds was denied and moved for deletion. You state that there has been anything to satisfy Wikipedia policies; however, when comparing the citations and the content to a different wiki entry for a company in the same industry: [1] the citation quality and language/tone for the Russell Reynolds submission are very comparable. In fact the Russell Reynolds submission contains citations from many of the same sources listed in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egon_Zehnder The citations from the Wall Street Journal are a good example.
Heidrick and Struggles, another very similar firm, is also an approved Wikipedia submission with citations and language very similar to the Russell Reynolds submission:.[2] Using Egon Zehnder and Heidrick and Struggles Wikipedia entries as examples to model the Russell Reynolds citation after, since they are approved which means they satisfy Wikipedia policies, seemed to me like a good idea. Is that not the case, and if so, it would seem as if the approval process is very subjective and not based on any clearly defined standards.
Here is your specific feedback:
There was enough time in 3 reviews to at least give us the needed substance in a convincing article, the article itself has unchanged itself with still only keeping either clear-copied company advertising or advertised business announcements, all is sufficient for deletion.
You mention that the submission was populated using marketing copy taken from elsewhere, if so, I would love to see the source material I used copied. Also mentioned was the timeline elapsed from the first entry until this most recent. I am not being paid to submit this information to Wikipedia - if that was the case, I most likely would have lost my job by now since indeed it has been quite some time. I did add additional text and 6 additional new citations from reputable sources.
I am not trying to be difficult and am more than happy to additional content to this submission if you provide me with additional direction. This exercise is simply meant to be a way to learn my way around Wikipedia. I appreciate your help and guidance.

Hi David. Thanks for reviewing my submission for the Daisygrinders. However, I do not understand how you deem my submission as not having substance and not being significant. Would you not deem a recording artist, signed by a subsidiary of a major record label not significant? Is not only the reference made to the band on the record labels website, but also independently published texts with ISBN numbers as supplied, not enough to satisfy the reliable sources guidelines? Is a band that produced a LP, numerous EPs and Singles, Video Clips, toured nationally, appeared at festivals and supported acts such as Smashing Pumpkins, Teenage Fanclub, Buffalo Tom and numerous other local and international artists, notable enough? I dont know what else I can provide to you to evidence my claims. I am also confused as I have seen other bands listed with only a few websites referenced to satisfy the reliable sources guidelines.

Apology and clarification request
Greetings, SwisterTwister -
When first attempting to get my page added to Wikipedia, I did iterate on content a few times. I was finally told by one of the editors (Onel15969) that my content was "better" than my original (e.g., less PR-sounding) and just needed an additional citation or two before it would be considered for page creation. My apologies for misunderstanding this.
I would like to request another attempt to re-write my content with the additional citations I was able to secure. Is this a possibility or will future submissions be automatically disregarded altogether as a result of my misunderstanding?
It would be very helpful for your feedback on this. Thank you very much.

Hi SwisterTwister,
Thank you for reviewing my East Hope Group draft. You mentioned the need for more info from major news sources to meet the notability requirement, and I wonder whether you could elaborate a bit more. I have used a number of major news outlets, as well as industry-specific publications and official documents in Chinese. Hence, I feel that the scope and type of publications employed do satisfy the necessary standards for notability and neutrality, especially considering that the company is a major player in the aluminium market. Do you believe there is, for example, too much a reliance on Chinese-language sources, etc?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Andrew Rothschild has invented the genre bluestronica. There is no published music that falls in this genre of bluestronica. Andrew Rothschild's music does not fit the blues, or electronica genre.

This is not a scientific matter, he is an artist and his artwork has received notable attention.

I was researching this company for work and was surprised that they didn't have an article in wikipedia. I wanted to know who they were and what their basic business model was. I had to go to an external source to find this. I thought it would be useful to have this info in wikipedia. I don't work for them, I don't have a vested interest in their success or failure, I just found it annoying that this info wasn't available here, and wanted to fix that.

Appreciate the comment regarding notability, however surely an amateur gym which produces a national finalist every five years; has a host of professional boxers at its platform and trained a world heavyweight contender is defined with some element of notability? References, both past and present, throughout the history of this establishment highlight its significance?
I'd very much appreciate your feedback as to how I can make this article more robust.

Hello SwisterTwister, I understand your point of view and the publishing rules on Wikipedia. Really, I do! The reason I decided to send the article in Wikipedia (even it doesn't respect the rules) is because Ezi Car Rental is become the first 100% Kiwi own rental company in New Zealand. New Zealand is a small country. References are not like in Europe (where I come from) or another big country in the World. With the current rules of publication only the big companies can be on Wikipedia. Is it really the most relevant point of view for an online encyclopedia? I could be wrong but I don't think so. It is not an argumentation for publishing the article about Ezi Car Rental. Your decision respect the rules. It is just my point of view about this. Now, I will wait until someone else decide that Ezi Car Rental is enough relevant to be on Wikipedia. Thank you for your time and for your participation to Wikipedia. Jeremy

The band "The Hot Place" fits your guideline as, "an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles." The founding member and guitarist of The Hot Place, Jeff Calder, is a notable musician who is also currently active in the band "The Swimming Pool Q's". The Swimming Pool Q's are a national band, and have been recognized in Rolling Stone magazine, their most recent album "1984-1986:The A&M Years" was a Rolling Stone "Reissue of the Year", picked by David Fricke, on page 32 of the December 19-Jan 2 2014 print magazine. The Swimming Pool Q's have had five national/international album releases, on the major labels A&M, Capitol, and Bar None. The singer and other founding member of The Hot Place, Lisa King has has been a member of notable band The Glenn Phillips band, who have released albums on Virgin and Sony Records. King also played keyboards with The Swimming Pool Q's from 2003-2006. The Hot Place features guest guitarist Richard Lloyd of the band "Television", another member of a prominent 1970's band, with historical releases on Elektra records. The Hot Place has been featured in print, in significant North American publications "Georgia Music Magazine", "Stomp and Stammer", and "Creative Loafing."

The Hot Place is directly connected to two major musical artists. One of its founding members is Jeff Calder of The Swimming Pool Q's, and guest artist Richard Lloyd of Television, who already have Wikipedia Pages. Could you please clarify how to substantiate that more? I did connect The Hot Place to The Swimming Pool Q's via internal Wikipedia linking. The sources cited, if read in detail, are more than just announcements, interviews, and mentions. They directly discuss how Jeff Calder of The Swimming Pool Q's and Richard Lloyd of Television are connected to and/or are members of the Atlanta band The Hot Place. Many of the album reviews and mentions of the band are in analog print media, though I have found several digital places where the band's members are verified and substantiated. Thank you for your help!
This article in particular substantiates The Hot Place's history and verifies the notable musicians who are members. http://www.clatl.com/music/article/13080910/new-wavers-instudio-chemistry-ignites-the-hot-place. I'm not sure how this is not a substantial source. If you could clarify, I would so appreciate it! Thank you!

Hi SwisterTwister! Thanks for taking the time to have a look at the changes to the article. Just a quick question for clarification (so that I can get the next edit right): Is the problem that there are not enough external references? A bit confused, as the first reviewer indicated that the article was copied, so I removed all direct references to this (even though they were quoted/cited), but not that there weren't enough notable articles. Please let me know what I need to do to improve the article and have it accepted. Thanks again!

I have worked on finding more sources for my citations. The first three reference citations, are from National, credible print and digital magazines, the state run publication "Georgia Music Magazine", and a newspaper which is owned by the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, "Creative Loafing." The References directly explain how The Hot Place contains two notable international musicians in its lineup, Jeff Calder of “The Swimming Pool Q's” and Richard Lloyd of “Television.” Especially notable is source #2, Georgia Music Magazine. This is a state-run print and digital publication. Source 1 and 3 are not merely announcements, they are also detailed articles which explain The Hot Place's debut, and the notable musicians that are involved in the historic project. I also added another source that I found this morning, “Arts Talk” on Blog Talk Radio, Episode #104 Lisa King. I have also looked at other Atlanta bands Wikipedia pages. Some of these are groups which are far less notable than The Hot Place, with no notable musicians involved, and cite less reliable sources. So, I'm curious as to why those articles were approved, and this one is being rejected. Please advise! My sources all verify the notable musicians involved in The Hot Place.
Added another cited source, from "The Recoup" magazine, by Joseph Kyle, in which Jeff Calder directly speaks about being a member and producer of The Hot Place band, with musician Lisa King. https://therecoup.com/2014/04/21/swimming-pool-qs-working-at-the-nut-factory/. The article quotes Jeff Calder of The Swimming Pool Q's, "We have about 2/3 of a new album mixed, and a few basic tracks standing by in the queue, waiting to be finished. I’ve co-produced them with Tim Delaney, a talented Atlanta musician and engineer we’ve worked with as far back as Royal Academy. It certainly helps that I’m friends with a number of great recording engineers, many of whom I was fortunate to be associated with at Atlanta’s legendary Southern Tracks studio, which I helped to manage for many years and where I was on the periphery of what seems like a hundred major rock albums produced by Brendan O’Brien.I like doing new things, having recently produced and played on an album by The Hot Place, Lisa King’s band based in Atlanta. It’s a pretty cool record that has a song called “Saturn Moved” on which Richard Lloyd of Television unleashes a wild solo."

I have resubmitted the article to incorporate all the changes suggested by yourself and other Wikipedia reviewers. I have made substantial changes throughout the document
to get rid of any extraneous or unnecessary language, with the effect of streamlining the article. The article now only contains direct and informative language with no self-promotional or journal-like language. I believe you will find the changes I have made to be much more in line with a Wikipedia article.

Thank you for your time. Rene Moreno meets the notability requirements when you look at it from the angle that he is a very significant person with Down syndrome. That's key here. His documentary is commonplace in collegiate special education curriculums across the country, and has been for 17 years. Up Syndrome has been on Netflix, Hulu amongst many other major streaming outlets for many years. His movies have been the subject of reviews in major trades such as Daily Variety (which is referenced), and he has won a very prestigious award from the National Down Syndrome Congress of the USA (also referenced), which is one of the largest organizations to promote the awareness of Down syndrome that exists in the world today. I think when you look at this person with the correct angle you will understand that he is indeed notable and worthy of inclusion.

07:03:34, 25 January 2017 review of submission by Robfarago
Thank you for your feedback. This is my first article. I have only ever made minor contributions to other article over the last 10 years or so. Before I wrote this article I read the pages that talk about notability and also needing independent credible sources from news/media publishers who have editors etc.. I believe the page I have drafted has merit based on the guidelines. The development of renewable energy in Australia has been significantly influenced by not for profit and grass roots groups such as Local Power. Not sure if you had a chance to read/view many of the references and if you did perhaps you are not familiar with the Australian media organisations in the references?
The TV coverage of this community initiative was made by the ABC TV network and the TEN TV network. The Australian ABC is a highly credible news organisation of journalistic integrity spanning radio, TV and online. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Broadcasting_Corporation The Australian TEN TV network is one of our 3 commercial news networks and comparable to perhaps NBC or CBS in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Ten Both of these TV broadcast news services thought this was a newsworthy community initiative which had not been done before. The youtube clips are recordings of the prime time TV news article which were broadcast to audiences of over 1 million people each.
Similarly the ATA is a very credible member based organisation and magazine publisher of ReNew magazine, which has been publishing since 1980 and is not up to it's 138th quarterly magazine https://www.ata.org.au/who/history They chose to write a feature article about the Local Power project because it was something new and novel.
Finally the City South News is a local community newspaper and part of the News Corporation stable of newspapers. While I am not a big fan or Rupert Murdoch (Fox News yuk!) he did get his starts running newspapers in Australia This chain of local papers are said to have 1 million readers weekly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest_Community_Newspapers
I would humbly ask you to take a closer look at the references, taking into account the above information about independence, and please reconsider this rejection.
thank you.

18:06:50, 27 January 2017 review of submission by Carrie at The Fischer Group
Thanks for reviewing our article, I really appreciate it. I want to update the article so that it meets guidelines, but wanted to know which portion specifically doesn't conform to the guidelines so I can work with that. From what I can tell, the article if not very different from the following (in words / scope) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/I_Homes or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulteGroup.
Fischer is in the same group as those two homebuilders (and many others already included in Wikipedia) and being in the top 50 in the nation (something that M/I mentions in their article as well) I would think that content is noteworthy as well.
The remainder of the article just lists out the areas of business (where they do business) as well as a small amount of history (founder etc...) for the company (something I see the other Homebuilders do as well.)
If you could give me a little more feedback on what is different from my article and those above (as initial examples) I would appreciate it so I can make the needed changes.
Thanks! I look forward to your help / further comments on the differences.
16:22:53, 29 January 2017 review of submission by Carrie at The Fischer Group
Ok, that makes sense. So what updates do I need to make to it for it to meet the new company guidelines? I don't see any specifics on that which we have not already covered here? I'm specifically looking for "doing this would make it meet the new guidelines" kind of information.
I've re-read the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Companies/Guidelines and it appears from what I can see there that the article, in its current state covers the areas mentioned.
Again, as far as companies go, and looking at the other homebuilders (as well as other companies) in the space, Fischer is certainly in line with those which are included. (They have been in the top 50 home builders for many years now, they operate in multiple states nationwide, they have plenty of press on them, they are are one of the big builders for the St. Jude's dream home giveaway (which benefits less fortunate people), and the list goes on.
When you get time, let me know what I can do in the way of edits to help get this article revised and into the article space. I appreciate the info so far. It is helpful.
Thanks.

Hello, first, thanks for taking time to being a Wikipedia curator.
There are 6 main sources cited, that are serious sources (in the Middle-East, and Lebanon). Text publications are rarely digitized, but I could recollect printed articles (Can/should we add them as references and provide scanned proof? What is the procedure for such cases).
The company had a social impact, which is why it is covered. As you might have now noticed, the digital ecosystem is nearly non-existent in this region, and having publicly accessible digital manufacturing service shop with industrial 3D printers in Lebanon is a big step. Not to mention the creation of new 3D printing materials! (2 materials) and several machines.
Additional projects may be appended: Rapidmanufactory has been invited to the St-Etienne Design Biennial this coming march to exhibit: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/theobsessivedrafter/ . This would generate articles by "more known" media entities. A published book about manufacturing (especially digital fabrication), was created by the founder; An article in "L'Orient Le Jour", talks about it: https://www.lorientlejour.com/article/1030988/guillaume-credoz-et-son-robot.html
Looking forward to your assistance in having this article published.

Dear SwisterTwister, thank you for your review and suggestions for improvement. You are absolutely right, the viennacontemporary header needs to be deleted (done).
Regarding additional articles: I added an article from the NY Times from 2015: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/14/arts/international/vienna-looks-east-for-fine-art.html?_r=0
But otherwise, I would like to argue that the most important English references are already included in the article (I guess I can’t add German publications where we have a lot of press, in all the major newspapers). I have included: Forbes, Vogue, and important publications from the artworld: Wallpaper Magazine, Blouin Artinfo, Artsy, Sotheby’s blog, The Art Newspaper, artnet News, Flash Art, artforum.com, Widewalls, Cultured Mag.

Hi there,
many thanks for taking the time to review the page I created. I am new to Wikipedia so am finding my way through trial and error so would be grateful for any help to improve the chances of submission! I felt the subject worthy of an article, largely because of her role as ambassador for the Orange Tree theatre in London. The theatre is a theatre that produces new work of exceptional standard, most recently reviewed in Variety magazine Los Angeles, and acknowledged to be a forerunner in new writing. Heery was one of fourteen invited because they were considered to be 'leading figures in the Arts and beyond – who will champion the work of the Theatre.' She is also a member of the Davison/Tennant family who have a large fan base in the worldwide science fiction community, not only because of her work with Big Finish audio, but also because of her film work in the series The Tripods, and Life Force. Her son, David Tennant's step brother in law, Louis Davison, has just played Victor in Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children made by Fox films. As an ambassador for theatre she is able to reach a wide audience through her body of work, regular TV work spanning twenty five years, and professional relationships within the literary world. Is any of this helpful as regards an edit?
Best Hamhaugh.

You declined this article with the reasoning "this is simply what they would advertise to clients and it's unconvincing regardless of anything or anyone" however, it is not clear what is 'unconvincing', much less who is 'anything or anyone'. Please state coherent grounds for declining it, so that the problem can be fixed.
Also, you stated "examining the sources find they're only announcements and mentions". This did not reflect the facts at the time of the original submission, and even less so now. In the original submission, two reliable, independent sources were cited (namely Cleveland Encyclopedia and ASME), both showing that the subject of this article is both notable and worthy of inclusion. In the meantime, a second more detailed reference by ASME (which has a national audience) as well as a reference from Heartland Science (created by the Ohio Academy of Science) have been added. Both of these also discuss how the subject of this article is notable and worthy of inclusion.

HI there Twisted Sister,
Many thanks for the re-review, this is Michael Stever, (filmmaker) I am NOT the person who created this initial draft, nor am I the one who has amended it the last couple times. There is no (Present) need for a re-review as my team has not had a change to make any changes/updates so clearly it's a mute point until then. I did have just a couple questions regarding the submission protocol and I've not been able to get a solid enough answer from the person doing this for me so am reaching out to you myself. I realize that you want more 'high profile' pieces added to to this draft, which I actually am in the process of providing. To date myself or my team have just not had the chance as we've been swamped with work, and other obligations.
In the meantime, if you don't mind me showing you the two pieces I'd planned on adding, it would be HUGELY helpful if you could give a heads up if you thought these two following write-ups could be helpful in pushing my listing through... Here are the two mentiones in two nationally circulated, high-profile publications. BOTH of the below write-ups are relatively new...
FEATURED MENTION IN 'ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY' http://ew.com/article/2016/09/14/fearnyc-new-york-horror-film-festival/
FEATURED WRITE-UP 'FANGORIA' magazine http://www.fangoria.com/new/winners-highlight-video-revealed-for-fearnyc-festival/
Finally, TwistedSister... if I may humbly ask, Why do the rejection notices constantly and repeatedly say that the submissions need to be ABOUT ME, not BY ME? Most of these links and such are to write-ups in noteworthy, legitimate online publications, so I (nor the person doing this for me) are clearly understanding the particulars of this important bullet point. Can you PLEASE expand on this, so I/we know? I have NEVER had the question adequately answered, and clearly we need to better understand so my team can fine tune the draft to a most acceptable level... Is it that I need to ensure ALL links to anythings tied to my own website, (MichaelStever.net) need to be fully omitted? Am also in the dark on what does, or does NOT constitute as worthy information from IMDB, as I see COUNTLESS other wiki pages that list/feature IMDB content.
ALSO, I'm worrying that this existing draft will somehow be deleted, or permenantly removed if it gets enough 'rejection' notices, so PLEASE is there any way to ensure it NOT get re-reviewed anymore until myself and my team have time regroup, and re-edit, it would be sincerely appreciated,
thank you for ANY clues you have TwistedSister..
My mom's also about to pass, so have to brace for that which leaves this pretty low on the priority list, but SO SINCERELY appreciate any help or input you could offer,
Sincerely,
Michael Stever

I think we got it - I hope. I edited the subject's career section to introduce the connection with the subject's books. I also added hyperlinks within some of the sections and other small edits. I've studied the subject for a while, so I think it's important to keep the critical aspects of the career history as they led to the books. Without the career section, then the subject didn't have the expertise to write the books. Thank you.

Hi there -- this is my first time doing this, so I would appreciate any help you can give me! David is a regular on news media, from CNBC, to BNN, to Bloomberg, even the NY Times... i'm not sure how to craft a bio that ties all that in? Are there any examples of media people you can show me so I get it right?

Hi
Thanks for your feedback. I spent ages trying to cite everything on the page and thought it was on the right lines. I wonder if you would be so kind as to assist
I have added some references found on the web from Independent sources - is this the kind of thing I need to do to prove importance of the article ?
Sorry as a first attempt - I just need to get my head around this

Hello,
Just wanted to check why this article was rejected? We are starting to create Articles about Pool Players in Canberra, and this was a test account.
We would like to get it right before we proceed with others. Your assistance is much appreciated.

I have read the Golden Rule and the requirements for significant comment from reliable sources but I do not understand what is missing to prove the notoriety of the one of the most controversial people in Alberta politics, the Mayor of Alberta's 14th largest city (Chestermere) Patricia Matthews: see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Patricia_Matthews_(politician)#cite_note-77 . Just today she was cleared of wrong doing in a year long Provincial investigation (see the last line AND the two cited independent media sources).
Is it that there are some references to 'smaller' sources like The Anchor (local newspaper) and if so should those references be removed? CBC, The Calgary Herald, The SUN, Global TV, 660 News and others are all very large scale media outlets that operate regionally or nationally with large well paid editorial staff. The article contains dozens of such references over controversies driven by Mayor Matthews and the "smaller' references help fill in the story so I would hate to remove them.
Your comments as to what is missing would be appreciated.

What would be the best way to fulfill the qualifications to get the article approved? After I have read your suggestions I still do not understand the rejection. I have added reference links to other pages for the notable entities. My links and references are from a university, a campaign webpage, as well as a major area newspaper. Please advise any possible solutions as this is my first submission.
Thank you

Hello! I am new to editing Wikipedia (I have always been a regular user of course!). Thank you very much for all that you've contributed to the project. I am surprised that Susto the band is not notable enough for a page. They have two albums, were recently featured on CBS News, have been reviewed by local newspapers and music websites, and are about to go on tour with the Lumineers. I have seen them play at at packed venues twice. It seems odd to me that they would not have a page at this point.

Hey Swister. Thanks for reviewing my page. I'm just wondering if you can help with a little more advice. I've asked in the live chat for some more advice (as I'm new to this) and been advised that the main reason is our page sounding like and advertisement (as you've suggested as well that it seem like a business listing). I've done my best to avoid that by only stating facts etc. but if this isn't the case (and if you have a chance) would you be able to help me understand if there was a specific section that is still in the wrong tone?
I only ask as there are two pages for competitor businesses that are similar (with the CD Baby one in particular even referencing their prices etc.)
I understand it's not a case of "They have a page so you get one too", just wondering if there is something I'm missing that makes theirs okay and the RouteNote one require changes. Apologies if this sounds argumentative (it's genuinely not written that way, but tone is hard to convey in text!).
Also, just in case you see this message before I manage to fix my user page, I am about to attempt to declare that I work for RouteNote (in case it wasn't already clear).
Thanks again.
Nick

Hey Swister, Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions and help me with this article. I see what you mean regarding the sources being merely mentions within articles. Do you think it would help if I removed the majority of the sources with the exception of the West Briton one (which is a specific article about RouteNote) and maybe the PC Mag one (as that is a guide for other aspiring musicians on how to upload music, one where the reviewer happens to use RouteNote)?
Also, if this would help, can we still keep the references to the websites that have reviewed us without specifically using the sources? Again, really appreciate your help with this. It's my first article submission for Wiki and want to get it right!

Hi SwisterTwister
Could you please review my submission again.
Regards,
Decline of Draft:Ewald Arenz
Dear Swister Twister, thanks for having a look at the new article about Ewald Arenz. I can see that there is a problem with German and Italian sources, but those are partly printed and online encyclopaedia articles, secondary literature on the person and partly reviews by German TV and Radio stations. Since his works are increasingly published in other languages an English wikipedia site seems reasonable. Besides, there are already two articles on Ewald Arenz in the German and Arab Wikipedia. I have already and will add some more references if necessary.

Thanks for the prompt review! I've added about 8 more references. I'll watch to see whether you feel that is adequate, or whether more are needed.

FMMF is a major music festival. The announcement is from their website.
Should I include record labels?

I believe the rust belt chronicles is a verified news source in Ohio. The Jambar is THE news paper for YOungstown State University in Ohio and Valley 24 is the entertainment publication for the YOungstown Vindicator newspaper in Youngstown ohio. The Fashion Meets Music Festival lineup is an Official lineup with major acts on the bill. Please help

Hi Swister Twister,
I have re-submitted my article few weeks ago and it is still pending. Would you have some time to spare and maybe look at the article and tell me if it looks good?
I am wondering why it is taking so long as this is my first publishing.
Thank you in advance! Sabrina

I have created a draft in the name of "Suresh Manickavelu". Please understand, I haven't created an article in the name of "Suresh Manickavelu", it is just a draft. Also I haven't submitted it for the review. Then why did you review it and declined. Anyone can have the wiki rights to create a draft. It is just a draft not article.
