November 28 edit
Hey, I've created the english version of the article Benecke-Kaliko from german wikipedia. You can find it here: Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Benecke-Kaliko. Can anyone help me and let me know how to submit the page again for review? Thank you so much!
Ok, sorry I've already found it.

[Copy of draft removed]
- That was a copy of your draft. It does not cite any reliable sources that are independent of the subject, such as newspaper articles or reviews in music magazines. We require significant coverage in such sources both to establish the topic's notability and to allow our readers to verify the article's content. Without such sources we cannot accept the submission. Do you have any specific questions? Huon (talk) 19:37, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to check the status of my resubmission. I believe I edited and addressed all the concerns of the reviewer. Do let me know if there are any questions or concerns. Hope to hear from you soon, Best Surprisal — Preceding unsigned comment added by Surprisal (talk • contribs) 20:43, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- I just tidied up the references, but I don't think they're sufficient. Firstly they all have Levine, the inventor of surprisal analysis, as sole author or as co-author. It would be nice to see that there are some independent publications on the topic and it's not just a one-man show. If no one but the inventor and his immediate collaborators has ever published on the technique, it may not be notable enough for an article.
- Secondly, the very first reference should support this statement: "Surprisal analysis was formulated at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem as a joint effort between Raphael David Levine, Richard Barry Bernstein and Avinoam Ben-Shaul in 1972. Levine and colleagues had recognized ..." It doesn't. The book referred to mentions Ben-Shaul exactly twice, and it doesn't credit him with co-formulation of surprisal analysis. It mentions the Hebrew University twice, and not in the context of some 1972 invention. Some page numbers would be helpful to give the readers a chance to check the rest of the claim - I couldn't find anything relevant, but since I obviously didn't read the entire book, I might have missed it.
- I couldn't find the fourth reference, "Energy disposal and energy consumption in elementary chemical relations: The information theoretic approach". Google Scholar shows another paper by Bernstein and Levine titled "Energy disposal and energy requirements for elementary chemical reactions", but that was published a year earlier in a different journal.
- I haven't read the other papers, but the abstracts of several don't mention surprisal analysis. Given the defects of the one source I could read, I'd like to make sure that the others actually do say what they're cited for.
- Furthermore, the draft doesn't clearly explain what surprisal is in the first place. At a quick glance, Levine's book has a nice introduction to surprisal as the measure of surprise at an event, and the mathematical conclusions (inversely related to the probability of the event, and so on).
- Finally, while that wouldn't be a reason not to accept the draft, it could really use some additional wikilinks to related articles. Huon (talk) 23:35, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
I've followed the instructions for submitting my article and it still does not appear to have been submitted. I require assistance submitting the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethicalv (talk • contribs) 23:53, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- The article has already been reviewed; the reviewer suggested that it would have to be shortened significantly. Right now it reads more like an essay than like an encyclopedia article. You can re-submit it by following the instructions in the decline message ("When you are ready to resubmit, click here.") or by adding {{subst:submit}} to the very top, but you shouldn't do so until the reviewer's concerns have been addressed.

Please help correct Romualdas Kasuba to remove "NOINDEX" to allow Google and similar search edit
Can you please help remove the Romualdas Kasuba article from "NOINDEX" administrative category and alow the page to be searched using Google and similar outside sources? Many thanks in advance, Ttk371 (talk) 23:56, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- That problem seems to have been resolved; the article no longer cotains the "NOINDEX" magic word, and I could find it with a Google search. Huon (talk) 00:41, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
