Some baklava for you!

Greetings Eddie, I'm Giggitygiggity, I'm relatively new to wikipedia editing scene. Recently, I wanted to make an article about International High School of Sarajevo, but you have declined it due to lack of reliable sources. Could you please tell me further about this. King regards Giggitygiggity (talk) 17:01, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

sure. Most of your sources must be WP:IS, and this school must apply to Wikipedia:Notability (high schools) Eddie891 (talk) 00:18, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Mitchell Kummen

Hi Eddie! Thanks for your review of my article. I will definitely do the things that are called out in your comments, but would like to know whether you think the tone of the whole article is wrong, or only certain sections. My first review emphasized notability and sources. So I worked hard to get lots of published sources on the individual. I think I have met the notability and sources criteria now. I understand that there are certain sections that definitely need changes, and I'll start working on them immediately,but what I don't want to do is rewrite sections that are actually OK. So, if you have a moment to give me just a few specifics, I would greatly appreciate it. I really want to get this article published soon. Thanks so much!

@Gary.W.Fuller: very few sections in my opinion actually need a full rewrite, in most, I think it would suffice to remove WP:PEACOCK phrases and other promotional tone Eddie891 (talk)

Thanks, Eddie! I have removed all of the external links from the body and made them reference sources where appropriate. I believe that I've removed the offending promotional tone, too. As for the overall format and formality, I believe this article now comports with other actors' pages. If there is any way that you can take a look, I would appreciate that. I hope I don't have to wait another three to four (or more) weeks again. If it satisfies your objections, can YOU just approve it and move it? Hopefully, yes! Let me know.

Reliable Sources: Why is the white house of the united states not a reliable source?

Dear Eddie,

I listed the following sources to an article

1. THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS RELEASES 2. THE DIVERSITY MAGAZINE 3. THE UC BERKELEY COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING MAGAZINE

among many others.

Why do consider the above NOT "reliable" sources? I would appreciate some guidance on this.

Best Regards

Hello Eddie, I am new to wikipedia and have been working on the article Draft:Chris Gibson (Reseacher) which you declined due to 'this submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources.

Did you look at the references listed? References 7, 8, and 9 are from two different newspapers. Reference 3 is a magazine. Reference 2 is a book.

Hello Eddie891. Thank you for reviewing my article and the kind words regarding its quality. I have added references to the article in the areas you recommended and I have resubmitted it for review. There was a question from another reviewer called Theroadislong regarding whether the article was an autobiography. It is not. I registered an account in the name of RLFerguson to keep track of my article creation, but I am Sallie Ortiz, a freelance science and energy writer. Mr. Ferguson has been a significant influence for the peaceful uses of nuclear technology and should be notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article. I foresee that I will be able to add documented information about his progress in producing a vital medical isotope, Mo99, without the dangerous methods currently in use that also present proliferation risks for nuclear material. I hope you will be the one to re-review and approve this article. Thanks again for your first review and recommendations.

RLFerguson (talk) 15:52, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Query about Traffic Report

Hello!!! Great work on Traffic Report!! I was wondering why you didn't cover XHamster though? It's at the top of West's 5000 and I presume it's due to this story: xHamster supports this motion sensor that hides porn when the door opens. Why not include?

Hope my edits added something, but feel free to scrap or change as you see fit. I'm new to this Signpost business! —A L T E R C A R I  ✍ 18:28, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

@Altercari: This question confused me greatly as well. I assumed at first that the popularity of XHampster was new and recent, as it hadn't been covered in any of the past wikipedia top 25 reports. But, looking at WP:5000, I noticed that it was not a recent addition to the list, and had been there for at least 2 weeks, but was not covered. Then it hit me. 95% of the pages views are mobile. The WP: Top 25 states that "This list excludes the Wikipedia main page, non-article pages (such as redlinks), and anomalous entries (such as DDoS attacks or likely automated views). Since mobile view data became available to the Report in October 2014, we exclude articles that have almost no mobile views (5–6% or less) or almost all mobile views (94–95% or more) because they are very likely to be automated views based on our experience and research of the issue. Please feel free to discuss any removal on the talk page if you wish. The top 25 report is the deferred to (at least for me) expert on this topic. I hope I have explained myself.

Kind comments and good advice on Draft:Robert_Ferguson

Hi Eddie891 -- I wanted to thank you for your complimentary comments on my article about nuclear physicist Robert Ferguson and to let you know that I made the corrections you advised on May 17. I added secondary references to the Early Life and Personal Life sections and cut material for which there were no reliable secondary references. I also corrected the way I referenced Wikipedia topics throughout the article; that is, I used the Wikipedia code instead of the reference template for web material. Also, I had to change my username from RLFerguson to DoverBoy87 because someone blocked my account -- I think because my username was too similar to the article name. The article is NOT an autobiography. I am Sallie Ortiz, a freelance science writer. I was hoping that you would take a look to verify that your recommended corrections had been made and perhaps approve my article for publication. Thanks very much, Sallie DoverBoy87 (talk) 16:55, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Mitchell Kummen

Hi Eddie!

This article seems to be caught in a loop. On May 12th you indicated it was external references and peacock language. I fixed all of the former, and deleted any evidence of the latter. But today's review has reverted to notability and verifiable references again based on the first reviewer's comments. Earlier, you had indicated that I needn't do much major surgery or rewriting. There are all over 1000 people in Wikipedia that are of the same age as this person, and most of them aren't particularly notable. Certainly most of them have not chalked up 25 acting credits and multiple awards. It took almost seven weeks for this review to be completed due to the backlog (which is quite long). I took your comments at face value and did what you said, only to receive a third decline. I need some more specific guidance.

JTS and DoDTR

Cynthiaprose (talk) 19:01, 28 June 2017 (UTC) I'm confused about your decision to reject the JTS/DoDTR article. This article was reviewed by three different Wiki editors and not one of them questioned the reliability of the references. The references are neutral- mostly articles published in credible, reputable journals. JTS is a US DoD government agency which provides FREE research and trauma clinical care guidance to global military and civilian communities. There is nothing unethical or controversial about this article. I am asking you to reconsider your opinion and accept the submission for publication. Thank you.

@Cynthiaprose: I understand that the sources you currently have are reliable. However, you do not have enough sources for the length of your article. Every statistic, every statement, every somewhat controversial fact should have a citations. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 22:53, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Eddie891. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Swarm ♠ 04:45, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

NYU Florence is a Wikipedia page that has been published and I don't see how our page is less notable than that page. None of its sources are independent and it seems like something that NYU could mention on their official page. Could you please explain the difference between the notability of that page and our page so I can make the appropriate adjustments?

Draft:Chicago Toy & Game Group

Hello, I am with ChiTAG working on the wikipedia page. You had denied it because of a lack of independent sources, I was wondering how many more independent sources you were thinking it needed. So far I have added at least 4 more and wanted to know if I should add more. Additionally, I was wondering if it would be possible to rename the page to the Chicago Toy & Game Week, rather the Chicago Toy & Game Group, because the event is more relevant to the information provided than the group itself.

@ULA christa:This article seems to be much better, and I am very unsure if to approve it or not. Since I tend to be a somewhat conservative reviewer, it will probably be approved, especially as the page already exists as a redirect, and the person creating it said "a notable person." Good luck.

I hope I don't have to wait another three to four (or more) weeks again. If it satisfies your objections, can YOU just approve it and move it? Hopefully, yes! Let me know.

Reliable Sources: Why is the white house of the united states not a reliable source?

Dear Eddie,

I listed the following sources to an article

1. THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS RELEASES 2. THE DIVERSITY MAGAZINE 3. THE UC BERKELEY COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING MAGAZINE

among many others.

Why do consider the above NOT "reliable" sources? I would appreciate some guidance on this.

Best Regards

Hello Eddie, I am new to wikipedia and have been working on the article Draft:Chris Gibson (Reseacher) which you declined due to 'this submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources.

Did you look at the references listed? References 7, 8, and 9 are from two different newspapers. Reference 3 is a magazine. Reference 2 is a book.

Hello Eddie891. Thank you for reviewing my article and the kind words regarding its quality. I have added references to the article in the areas you recommended and I have resubmitted it for review. There was a question from another reviewer called Theroadislong regarding whether the article was an autobiography. It is not. I registered an account in the name of RLFerguson to keep track of my article creation, but I am Sallie Ortiz, a freelance science and energy writer. Mr. Ferguson has been a significant influence for the peaceful uses of nuclear technology and should be notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article. I foresee that I will be able to add documented information about his progress in producing a vital medical isotope, Mo99, without the dangerous methods currently in use that also present proliferation risks for nuclear material. I hope you will be the one to re-review and approve this article. Thanks again for your first review and recommendations.

Query about Traffic Report

Hello!!! Great work on Traffic Report!! I was wondering why you didn't cover XHamster though? It's at the top of West's 5000 and I presume it's due to this story: xHamster supports this motion sensor that hides porn when the door opens. Why not include?

Hope my edits added something, but feel free to scrap or change as you see fit. I'm new to this Signpost business! —A L T E R C A R I  ✍ 18:28, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

@Altercari: This question confused me greatly as well. I assumed at first that the popularity of XHampster was new and recent, as it hadn't been covered in any of the past wikipedia top 25 reports. But, looking at WP:5000, I noticed that it was not a recent addition to the list, and had been there for at least 2 weeks, but was not covered. Then it hit me. 95% of the pages views are mobile. The WP: Top 25 states that "This list excludes the Wikipedia main page, non-article pages (such as redlinks), and anomalous entries (such as DDoS attacks or likely automated views). Since mobile view data became available to the Report in October 2014, we exclude articles that have almost no mobile views (5–6% or less) or almost all mobile views (94–95% or more) because they are very likely to be automated views based on our experience and research of the issue. Please feel free to discuss any removal on the talk page if you wish. The top 25 report is the deferred to (at least for me) expert on this topic. I hope I have explained myself.

Kind comments and good advice on Draft:Robert_Ferguson

Hi Eddie891 -- I wanted to thank you for your complimentary comments on my article about nuclear physicist Robert Ferguson and to let you know that I made the corrections you advised on May 17. I added secondary references to the Early Life and Personal Life sections and cut material for which there were no reliable secondary references. I also corrected the way I referenced Wikipedia topics throughout the article; that is, I used the Wikipedia code instead of the reference template for web material. Also, I had to change my username from RLFerguson to DoverBoy87 because someone blocked my account -- I think because my username was too similar to the article name. The article is NOT an autobiography. I am Sallie Ortiz, a freelance science writer. I was hoping that you would take a look to verify that your recommended corrections had been made and perhaps approve my article for publication. Thanks very much, Sallie DoverBoy87 (talk) 16:55, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Mitchell Kummen

Hi Eddie!

This article seems to be caught in a loop. On May 12th you indicated it was external references and peacock language. I fixed all of the former, and deleted any evidence of the latter. But today's review has reverted to notability and verifiable references again based on the first reviewer's comments. Earlier, you had indicated that I needn't do much major surgery or rewriting. There are all over 1000 people in Wikipedia that are of the same age as this person, and most of them aren't particularly notable. Certainly most of them have not chalked up 25 acting credits and multiple awards. It took almost seven weeks for this review to be completed due to the backlog (which is quite long). I took your comments at face value and did what you said, only to receive a third decline. I need some more specific guidance.

JTS and DoDTR

Cynthiaprose (talk) 19:01, 28 June 2017 (UTC) I'm confused about your decision to reject the JTS/DoDTR article. This article was reviewed by three different Wiki editors and not one of them questioned the reliability of the references. The references are neutral- mostly articles published in credible, reputable journals. JTS is a US DoD government agency which provides FREE research and trauma clinical care guidance to global military and civilian communities. There is nothing unethical or controversial about this article. I am asking you to reconsider your opinion and accept the submission for publication. Thank you.

@Cynthiaprose: I understand that the sources you currently have are reliable. However, you do not have enough sources for the length of your article. Every statistic, every statement, every somewhat controversial fact should have a citations. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 22:53, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Eddie891. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Swarm ♠ 04:45, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

NYU Florence is a Wikipedia page that has been published and I don't see how our page is less notable than that page. None of its sources are independent and it seems like something that NYU could mention on their official page. Could you please explain the difference between the notability of that page and our page so I can make the appropriate adjustments?

Draft:Chicago Toy & Game Group

Hello, I am with ChiTAG working on the wikipedia page. You had denied it because of a lack of independent sources, I was wondering how many more independent sources you were thinking it needed. So far I have added at least 4 more and wanted to know if I should add more. Additionally, I was wondering if it would be possible to rename the page to the Chicago Toy & Game Week, rather the Chicago Toy & Game Group, because the event is more relevant to the information provided than the group itself.
