This was brought up at WP:FTN. I've since removed some material as badly sourced and the stuff about suspicious deaths as just plain wrong (the article claimed one week separated the deaths but it was actually almost 2 months, and one was ruled to be of natural causes). I thought as you were very involved you should know. Dougweller (talk) 10:29, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks to Dougweller for reporting this mistake, it has been corrected now. By the way, the correct time separating both death is 35 days and not two months. Sometimes, I wonder why some people butcher the articles instead of fixing the wrong part by reading the references. ~ ForceMagic ~ (talk) 02:23, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Please review and comment

I am somewhat new to Wikipedia and have been trying to satisfy all of the reqired items that have been requested of me for the article on Donald Scavarda. I have made several edits to change the content to reflect that the article is now written as an encylopedic in nature and not essay format.

I also have made changes to note referencing according to the requirements and instructions given for this aspect of a Wikipedia article submission.

I believe I have taken care of all of the objections concerning this article but still have not heard anything concerning it being accepted as an article. Could someone please check and see if it is now availabe for inclusion on the Wikipedia site or whether there are other items needing to complete the process.

Thank you! (14:28, 13 June 2012 (UTC) Alice McHard) {Donald Scavarda} — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mchard12 (talkcontribs)

Hi Aaron,

  I am a little confused about my disruptive editing. I have noted on several pages that a song was made for Sarah Hyland, and that other co-stars may have watched the video. Please explain, most recently it was on Nolan Gould's page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by HylandLover (talkcontribs) 13:35, 13 June 2012 (UTC) 

Sarah Hyland Video

HylandLover (talk) 13:41, 13 June 2012 (UTC) Aaron- At this point, I am a getting a little confused and annoyed. I kept pointing readers to a video that was composed for Sarah Hyland on Youtube, and say how co-stars may have viewed it. Specifically, you have viewed Ariel Winter's and Nolan Gould's as vandalism. How is that disruptive? HylandLover (talk) 13:41, 13 June 2012 (UTC) Thanks you,

 Eddie

Aaron, still very confused. You need to respond — Preceding unsigned comment added by HylandLover (talkcontribs) 13:34, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Raul Julia-Levy

Hi, Aaron. I have improved the Raul Julia-Levy page by correcting grammatical errors, removing unsubstantiated material, providing referenced content from reliable and notable news organizations and checking all entries for factual accuracy. As of this writing, this task at hand remains work in progress. In the meantime, kindly remove the citation banner that has been in place on this page since 2011. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. 37celsius (talk) 18:25, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I just went through and removed the IMDb source, as IMDb is not considered a reliable source. I also removed a source which was a Wikipedia mirror. I did, however, fix the links to disambiguation pages, and therefore removed that tag. The article is still in need of sources for a substantial number of facts/statements. -Aaron Booth (talk) 00:17, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, Aaron. I appreciate your assistance. I am currently researching more reliable sources. 37celsius (talk) 00:22, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

The matter regarding the tag has been resolved, Aaron. Again, your assistance remains appreciated. Have a great weekend. 37celsius (talk) 23:47, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Harry Potter film information

I just noticed today that the Harry Potter movie pages did not contain any information regarding the Extended Versions of films, so I thought it would be good to add that to the wealth of information on each page. While there is no official source, or verification, for the Extended Version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (shown on ABC family), the runinng time that I put, 158 minutes, is accurate, because I timed the new footage while watching my clock, which added up to five minutes at the end.

If, for some reason, Wikipedia requires more verification than this, there's very little I can do. I just wanted to help out.

Articla on Space Harmony

Hello Aaron,

I finally had time to edit my article on Space Harmony, that was declined by you before. I would like to resubmit, but may I ask you to check it once to see if it is any better now? I tried to adjust it according to the comments, but I am not sure if I am on the right track, and I would really like to have it out there, since there is still little information on Laban Movement Analysis in Wikipedia.

Thanks in advance, Sandra Sandra (talk) 19:57, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Billy Elliot the Musical Casts

Hi my name is Patricia and I try to run BIlly Elliot the musical casts. I am sorry that i am not adding citations on those, but i do know what I am doing. Like the new one for Yanna Nikitas for ballet girl, I found a article about her, but only like congrats to her making the tour, thats it, I don't know what date she starts or character. This isn't only site I try to keep people update for BE. I also get information from this guy name Gary who also does what I do, but with all casts, and thats mostly how I get all my information is through him when people update and also sometimes I help him also. Here is link to his site. http://www.theskykid.com/billy-elliot-musical/billy-elliot-the-musical-cast-information/ Some of my information like zach hurting himself is from a picture just recent from where they are right now with all the cast on facebook. I know you want citations, but I also know what I'm doing. Can I please keep editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patriciasigmond (talkcontribs) 03:51, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

As always, Wikipedia has policies regarding verifiability. Any content added needs to be "previously published information rather than by the personal beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it." -Aaron Booth (talk) 04:07, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Is there anyway where i can put the link that i have above in the articcle, but not like on every person, because it is mostly about Billy Elliot all cast, tour dates, when billy performs, debuts, who is in cast. Is there anyway not having to put it on every single person. He really does keep it update when something is new, more then the official site of Billy Elliot. Patricia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patriciasigmond (talkcontribs) 04:17, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Not really for a couple reasons. First, he either gets his information from another source which would be more appropriate, or he gets it through hearsay, in other words he posts it because someone told him or he saw it on social media. And since social media is generally not considered to be a reliable source, there really is nothing there that (aside from an interview with an individual) would be considered reliable for Wikipedia (with the additional exception of something that could be verified through a better source). Second, you can't list list a source to cover multiple things, or possible future edits.
On a side note, the starting and ending dates themselves would not necessarily need to be source, it is the role ion the production itself that needs to be sourced. So for example, a playbill could be sourced (sources do not need to be digital, however the source needs to be specific, in other words you would need to cite a specific printing of the playbill), or a press release by the production company, or an article in a credible news paper, websites such as Broadway World, playbill, and the production website are all acceptable. Archived versions of sources (through something such as the "Wayback Machine") can also be used. Anyone that has appeared at one time with a production of this type appears in a reliable source at some point. In regards to future cast members, unless there is a reliable source, they should not be added. Things happen all the time, and people end up not appearing on stage as planned and such. I personally have gone as far as beginning rehearsal for a production that I ended up dropping out of before opening. Another example would be actress that was slated to be the original Broadway Annie in the OBC as well as the 1999 revival, neither girl ever appeared on stage as Annie. -Aaron Booth (talk) 04:37, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Sociology Association of Ireland

Hello Aaron. Thank you for your assistance with the Sociology association of Ireland page which I am developing. I have added the links to other relevant articles on Wikipedia. I have also added verifiable external citations. The page now had more links and citations than comparable pages, such as that of the British sociology association. Can you give me an indication of when it will be finally published? Thanks, Liamled (talk) 22:27, 11 August 2012 (UTC)


Hi again Aaron. The SAI page has now been created. Thanks very much to you and the other editors for your assistance. I have to add some inline citations when I get time, but I have linked the SAI page with other Wikipedia pages, so you can remove the orphan notice at the top of the page.

Review of Articles for creation/BroadLight

Hi Aaron,

Thank you in advance for your time and I hope you can help.

I've noticed you were the last to review Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/BroadLight : I recognize the page has been rejected several times and I sense that perhaps this fact is influencing each additional review, nonetheless a lot of work has been invested in establishing notability which has been referenced from reputable on-line sources in the telecommunication industry. The article is structured in simple, factually referenced and informative context and conveys no less information than already published articles of alike company articles such as Alphamosaic, Gigle Networks, Element 14, Redpine Signals which offer significantly less references and proof of notability.

I would greatly appreciate if you reconsider or offer applicable insight on how to make some positive progress with this submission.

Regards,

Semiexpert (talk) 07:17, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)It looks like the most notable thing about the company is the fact that it was acquired by Broadcom. I would recommend using that angle to find some significant news coverage about the takeover of BroadLight by Broadcom. You might even wan to consider merging your content into the Broadcom article. I looked at some other small companies acquired by Broadcom, and their articles all contain references to articles about the acquisition in major newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal. —JmaJeremy 07:37, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Jeremy, Thank you for the prompt reply. I've replace the acquisition reference from MSN Money to WSJ Market Watch - I would appreciate you review and further insight.

copyrighted picture on Louis Ferreira Page

Hi Aaron, Someone posted a copyrighted picture on the Louis Ferreira page. The photo is copyrighted by MGM, the copyright stamp is CLEARLY visible on the photo. I deleted the photo but the clue bot put it back in and called me a possible vandal. Seriously? What's going on here? Please advise. Bczogalla (talk) 22:48, 12 August 2012 (UTC). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bczogalla (talkcontribs) 22:46, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

The issue appears to be in the free use rational. I tagged it for speedy deletion. That is generally the best thing to do when you find a clear copyright violation. -Aaron Booth (talk) 22:54, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! How do you tag something for speedy deletion? I've never heard of that term. Also, while the picture clearly violates copyright, it also does not show Louis Ferreira but rather one of the characters he played, so it's doubly inappropriate. Bczogalla (talk) 01:15, 13 August 2012 (UTC).

See: Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. -Aaron Booth (talk) 01:33, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I declined the speedy deletion, because the image is appropriately tagged for use in the Everett Young article. However, I did remove it from the Louis Ferreira article, due to the lack of a fair use assertion for that article. Hope that clears things up. - Eureka Lott 02:12, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
The issue is that the image use is justified in that it is a screen shot of a television program. It appears to be a promotional shot of an actor to promote a film. Therefore neither being a screen shot of any sort, or from a television program. Therefore there is no fair use assertion that applies to that image. -Aaron Booth (talk) 02:17, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Under that, I just went back and tagged it for Di, which seems at the moment more appropriate for the situation anyhow. There may be another rational that the image might be able to be used under, however the one provided does not even describe the image uploaded. -Aaron Booth (talk) 02:20, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Oh, I see. Somebody had the wrong non-free content tag on the image. I changed the tag from {{Non-free television screenshot}} to {{Non-free promotional}}. - Eureka Lott 02:26, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Great, thanks. -Aaron Booth (talk) 02:27, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Engineering Research Centers

Hey Aaron. Recently, you rejected my article on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Engineering Research Centers based on inadequate references. The article was based used many primary sources, which I believe was the main reason you rejected the article. The primary sources were validated by an independent secondary source: Green Car Congress. If you read the Wikipedia article on the GCC and the GCC referenced material in my article, you will see that it is 1) a reliable secondary source, 2)provides a significant amount of information on the subject, and 3)is completely independent of the Engineering Research Centers. If your concerns lie with the use of primary sources, you should note that, per Wikipedia:No original research, primary sources may not be use exclusively, but may be used to present hard facts. I did not interpret primary sources (i.e. avoided original research), I merely rewrote the facts. If this explanation is unclear, please write me back. I am unfamiliar with the review process, but I am hopeful, nonetheless, that the article can be moved into the Wikipedia proper. Calerc (talk) 00:26, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Right now I see two secondary sources, and 25 in line citations to a primary source. The vast majority of the content of the submission is either unsourced, or only sourced with a primary source. Right now the article does not establish notability due to the lack of third party sources. -Aaron Booth (talk) 00:42, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Aaron, I appreciate your help in trying to get this article ready. Since your reply, I have increased the number of secondary sources by twelve. I think you will agree that twelve sources is more than enough to establish notability: especially since the sources include academic, technical, and layperson-oriented reliable news outlets. As for primary sources: I made an effort to cite every fact, which is why some of the sources have so many citations. I examined several of your articles in order to refine my own. I noticed that you have facts in your articles without citations (such as the closing dates of shows). I suspect that those facts come from primary sources. If you would prefer, I could format my work similarly thereby decreasing the number of citations per source. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks again. Calerc (talk) 18:36, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I will take a look at it. And not ever fact needs a citation, the guideline is that that fact should be able to be verifiable. In an example of a credit for a particular theatre production, the role in the production would be sourced, while the dates (unless disputed) don't necessarily need a source listed. Also, as a note a source would be considered primary if it is published by the individual or an individual working on the subject's behalf. An employer (such as a production (theatre), a government agency, Academic Institution (as long as not authored by the subject) is considered a secondary source. It's also not necessarily the number of sources, rather it is that and the quality of the source. For example, a widely read newspaper such as the New York Times goes much farther to establish notability than a small town paper, or University paper/publication. (although, depending on the source, may be used to verify a fact even though it does not go towards establishing notability). -Aaron Booth (talk) 19:03, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Proposed new page concerning Sanford Schram

Hi Aaron, thanks for reviewing my new page concerning Sanford Schram. You rejected it based on notability and lack of secondary sources, but Sanford Schram is an academic. The notability policy concerning academics states "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources.". This is an academic who has testified before Congress, has written or contributed to over a dozen books and is well known in the field of welfare policy. Please reconsider the submission.

Big Brother 14 (u.s.)

I don't know who runs this section(no i don't change anything on there), but I watch it because I love that show and I like to know what's going on. Sometimes when I look at it, it gives me wrong information. One example is last week on saturday when they were scheduled to do veto competition, when I kept looking on page to see who won it, it was first said Shane, then changed to Wil, then changed to Frank, I found out on facebook saying frank won it, and when I watch episode neither Wil or Shane was close to winning it. I didn't know who else to report it to, but I knew you were someone that watch things on here so I wanted to let you know and telling you that someone is messing with that page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patriciasigmond (talkcontribs) 01:46, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I can take a look at it but no one in particular ever "runs" a page. If you run into problems such as this, you can place a {{Disputed}} tag at the top of the article or {{Disputed-section}} tag on a specific section that there might be a factual accuracy problem with. With a tag somewhere on the page, it is usually easier for editors to be alerted to pages with potential problems. You can also bring up the issue on the article's talk page. -Aaron Booth (talk) 01:54, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Howard Chase

Just saw that you declined this one. While the sourcing is all pretty much primary in nature, the guy is a professor at Cambridge University. Unlike US universities, professorial appointments at UK universities are offered only to the top level academics.

Notability of academics and rejection of Sanford Schram page

Hi Aaron, the reason you gave for rejecting my proposed page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Sanford_F._Schram on Sanford Schram (an academic) is invalid because Sanford Schram meets the notability requirements for academics. The notability criteria page for academics lists 9 criteria, any ONE of which is sufficient to establish notability. Sanford Schram meets criteria 1, 5 at a minimum, as evidenced by the citations on my page. Please reconsider the page. Thank you.

From the page concerning notability of academics:

Criteria

Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable. Academics/professors meeting none of these conditions may still be notable if they meet the conditions of WP:BIO or other notability criteria, and the merits of an article on the academic/professor will depend largely on the extent to which it is verifiable. Before applying these criteria, see the General Notes section, which follows.

1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. 2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level. 3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g. a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a Fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor (e.g. the IEEE). 4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions. 5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon). 6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society. 7. The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. 8. The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major well-established academic journal in their subject area. 9. The person is in a field of literature (e.g writer or poet) or the fine arts (e.g. musician, composer, artist), and meets the standards for notability in that art, such as WP:CREATIVE or WP:MUSIC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norris.merritt (talkcontribs) 16:05, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Aaron,

You were the last one to review the Elements of Influence article and you've asked that notability be established. The book itself is used as a text in a graduate-level course of political management at the George Washington University and has been used at Lipscomb University. The course at George Washington is taught by the author himself. Does this not satisfy the requirements to establish not just the book but the author as notable?

Please help us with the creation of new wikis for each Indian Ordnance Factory

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for the warm welcome. We would be needing your generous help for the creation of new wikis for the Indian Ordnance Factories, part of Ordnance Factories Board which is controlled by the Ministry of Defence, Government of India. It's world's largest government operated company and the oldest run by the GoI. It has served India for over two centuries and proven its reliability in both the World Wars, Indo Pakistani wars of 1965, 1971, 1999 and Indo Chinese war of 1962. Each of the factories is notable and is prime national importance. It would be a great help if you can help us with this or find some people who help us.

I know it can hurt to see your work deleted and many deletions discussions have arbitrary outcomes, but I would invite you to take a break and come back after you finish the current production. I've found a lot of deleted things can be re-worked or re-used in different circumstances and that I still get fulfillment out of making more minor changes. Good luck with the show!

As I posted just now at the top of my page I will be back tentatively for the moment. I still find it unfortunate the direction towards becoming a fancruft site over the last couple years, and the overzealous attempt by some to prevent that (by deleting pages of individuals that have done multiple Broadway productions, as well as multiple regional roles; and then in turn finding that one of the most blatant examples of Wikipedia becoming a fansite is deem as being just fine.) Since my many comitments I have had over the last 6 or so months have slowed down for the time being I have the time to invest a bit more here again. And, of course, nothing can be changed or improved for the better if I just give up on it. -Aaron Booth (talk) 03:21, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

BB Canada HouseGuests

Hello! I noticed that you have added numerous tags to the List of Big Brother 1 HouseGuests (Canada) page, such as "written from fan's point of view" and factual accuracy is disputed. I was wondering why these were added, as all of the information is sourced, and is stated by the HouseGuests themselves (thus obviously can't be seen as a fan's POV). The main point of making the page was so Wiki readers could enjoy the information, so I'd love to take the steps to make it a better article!! -- Sethjohnson95 - 21:51 26 February, 2013 (ET)

  • Ok. I will attempt to find better sources! :) -- Sethjohnson95 - 22:04 26 February, 2013 (ET)

American/British spellings

Hi Aaron. Regarding my recent spelling amendment – as a frequent Wikipedia reader I frequently see and accept both American and British spellings but on this occasion I thought that due to the subject of this article, Mora (ship), having close historical links with England, the British spelling would have been a little more appropriate. I hope that makes sense. Regards. Booboo29 (talk) 03:30, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

The subject is a bit ambiguous as to which it variety it would fall under. The ship was of William the Conquerer, Duke or Normandy, and the first Norman King of England. He came to power under the Norman Conquest of England. The ship in question was a part of that conquest. Under the same logic, Columbus would be American, and Nazi Germans would be Polish since they invaded Poland. Generally, if it isn't about a specific English person, we use the variety of English used by the origional author, which appears to be American English. If you do feel that there is a good enough case to be made as to changing the variety of English from American to Brittish English, then you should seek consensus on the Article's talk page. -Aaron Booth (talk) 03:42, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, I still reckon that the Norman Conquest is an event probably slightly more closely related to Britain than to America. And being a bit picky with a your reply, William the Conqueror did end up being King of England for a couple of decades (consequently becoming an English citizen by default in my book), whereas Columbus actually never even saw America (as in the modern United States), much less became king of it, so I think there is a rather sizeable difference. Also, the Norman Conquest was one of the most defining and momentous occurrences in the history of England, you might say the true beginnings of a rich history, whilst I rather suspect the people of Poland have somewhat different views of the Nazis! However, having said all that (slightly tongue-in-cheek), it was only a very minor point of spelling and I really don’t have strong feelings about it! Cheers.

Giants Are Small

Hi Aaron, I just wanted to inform you that I made a few changes / updates to the article that you reviewed about a year ago, entitled "Giants Are Small". As I am a source close to the subject (I am one of the co-founders of the company) and I made the mistake to use the company's name for the username, Wikipedia is now posting this notice on top of the article, saying that changes have been made by a source close to the subject and therefore the criteria of neutrality is not met anymore. Of course, had I known that trying to fix the article about us would lead to such trouble :-) I would have refrained myself to doing this!! No, seriously, I was just trying to update the info and didn't know enough about the rules of Wikipedia to do it correctly. I have learned. Would you mind taking a look at the talk page related to the article and confirm that the information I have added seems accurate (I have put a link to the web page of the New York Philharmonic which confirms what I have added in the article? Link: <http://nyphil.org/ConcertsTickets/EventDetails.aspx?event={E9C1BA98-BE86-49B0-9E2B-7631DC2A4383}> I would really appreciate if you can find the time to take a look at this. Thank you!

Wikiwikiyan at the Youth article

Hello, Aaron Booth. I left a Welcome template on Wikiwikiyan's talk page, which also explains why I made some tweaks to the headings he or she added. I also mentioned your revert there, but stated that I'm not completely sure why you reverted him or her and that I would suggest to you that you explain on that talk page why you reverted. It's obviously your choice whether or not to explain. This is just a message letting you know that I have attempted to direct the editor in the right direction and that I mentioned you.
