Jose Baselga page
Hello-
I received your message and I guess because I am new to doing this I really do not understand what you mean. I thought I could just follow formatting from other pages and update Jose Baselga's page as I go along. However, if there is someone or somewhere else where I could provide the information and it be updated on the page that would be great. Is this what you are saying? with all the media and language on the pages its very hard to decipher what is going on. Ultimately, I need the page to be updated with basic information and a photo. I have all the information and I don't know where the "talk page" or watch page" is. It's really a lot and I thought I finally found a method to do what was asked of me and it seems now I cant do just that. The pages are extremely busy and i'm really struggling with this. Where should be making the edits?
Please help,

- Improvements to existing articles should be made on the article itself, and not by creating a new page (or draft) which is then submitted. If you don't want to edit the encyclopedia directly, you can make suggestions onthe relevant article talk page. However, if you want to write out what you want to edit with prior to making the eidt, you can use your own sandbox for this (see the link in the top right menu) - Happysailor (Talk) 16:22, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello,
If you have time would you please take a look at this article: [1] and this discussion [2] and provide your input. I feel you can help with some clarification for this topic.
Thank you

I am having trouble understanding the format and content of what should go into an article I have put factual content in my article but it keeps getting bumped out . I want to write this article but I am now very frustrated I have read up on different things but everything seems so complicated like how to add your talk page to my watchlist I don't know how to do that even.Dale Lytle (talk) 23:29, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
- Your draft was declined because your band does not currently pass the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics.
- If you feel that the band is notable, and passes the music notability guidelines at WP:MUSIC, then please improve the submission's referencing, so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia.
- All references should be secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject. This does not include primary sources such as the bands own website/social media/blog etc. - Happysailor (Talk) 15:15, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
reason for declining
Hi Happy Sailor,
Would like to know why this article was declined? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Sangte_Aika

Kolkata Tram redirection issue.
Hi, I just wanted you to know that I made a mistake when I submitted a redirection request for the new Kolkata Tram being a redirection page for Kolkata tram as at the point, I did not understand the idea of redirecting pages. I have corrected my error by making Kolkata tram a redirection for Kolkata Tram which I intended to do in the first place to capitalize the title. I hope you will accept the changes I have made.

Hey {[User:Happysailor]]
You literally gave me no reason for un-reviewing that poor, poor article. I will be tagging it...again... because it's either that or PROD. Next time please learn to give me a reason before out of nowhere reversing my perfectly good work.

I'm so sorry, i thought you meant you took away my tags.

- The tags that you slapped on that article, were haphazard at best. How can an article about a company be a biography about a living person? A company can't be a living person. If you are looking at doing WP:New Page Patrol, I suggest you take another look at some of our guidelines about the use of tags, and also what should/shouldn't be an article. This one is an easy WP:A7 nom for deletion. - Happysailor (Talk) 16:51, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
No point in bothering with Wikipedia. Your application of standards is totally arbitrary; no thought put into your decisions to exclude obviously notable articles outside your area of expertise. 67.171.28.206 (talk) 05:35, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
- I suggest you read the guidelines for musican performers at WP:MUSICBIO. At present, the article does not show Ray Pollard's notability as you haven't proven that he meets one of the criteria at WP:MUSICBIO. - Happysailor (Talk) 10:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
Solvo Submission declined on 10 August 2015
Hello Happysailor,
Could you please explain why my article was declined. It is been declined second time due to same reason. I have added the reference to a professional journal (Energy Procedia by Elsevier), with an article where Solvo simulator was used for evaluation.
Can it be served as a an good reference to make the subject notable or shall I find more references?

- First, please stop using ™ symbols on Wikipedia. We don't use them except for a special set of circumstances.
- Secondly, your article has been declined due to lack of notability. You must provide us with multiple references that prove that it passes the General notability guidelines which state that all articles must have significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This means that, no, your one reference does not make the subject notable. Please take your time and see what references you can find/use to prove the notability of Solvo - there's no rush.
- Be aware that not everything is notable, and it 'may turn out that your article isn't notable enough to be on Wikipedia at present. - Happysailor (Talk) 11:25, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

we have added our school information on wikipedia and published today , Our Wiki draft Page is : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:International_School_Of_East_India since i am new to writing article on wikipedia so ready all instruction and followed , after rejection i also noticed lots of section (containing several information about school) was deleted.
I had also added lots of reference for our affiliation board , for our school website , for our location etc.
I am still confused to know what i missed , a reason for rejection and why our few section was deleted ?
Please guide me so that we can put our school information on wiki.

- Your aricle has been declined because it lacked valid sources, and thus could not show notability. The sources you had added were not valid and so were removed. Promotional text was found in the draft, and so it was removed, along with generic text which does not belong in an encyclopedia article.
- It is doubtful that your school is notable, and so will not be appearing on Wikipedia. If however, you can find the school has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, then you need to show this in the article. DO NOT attempt to make the article live yourself - it will only be deleted. - Happysailor (Talk) 15:46, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Wilhelm Schneider
hope to have fixed the issues - are there different requirements for notability in the German and in the English Wikipedia? In Germany it is sufficient to prove that the person is a professor at an university. (which I tried to ;-)) Hope that the publications (from the universities website) help 89.0.23.175 (talk) 15:09, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- yes, there are different requirements for notability on different language wikipedias. For en.wikipedia, you can see the notability guidelines at WP:NACADEMICS - Happysailor (Talk) 15:20, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
Ok: than I would opt for: "Criterion 4 may be satisfied, for example, if the person has authored several books that are widely used as textbooks (or as a basis for a course) at multiple institutions of higher education." - That is difficult to prove - but you can try (for example) for a distribution of one of his textbooks in universities libraries in Germany: please try: www.kvk.de with the ISBN: 978-3-95404-828-1. (It is not possible to copy the link).
5. Criterion 5 can be applied reliably only for persons who are tenured at the full professor level, and not for junior faculty members with endowed appointments. Difficult to prove - but the universities website should do: http://www.wir.h-brs.de/Personen/ProfessorInnen/Schneider.html. He obiously is a professor and a faculty member ("Professorinnen und Professoren des Fachbereichs")89.0.23.175 (talk) 15:54, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- It's not here that you need to prove it. You need to use reliable third party references to show his notability in the article/draft. Use the guidelines as a references to guide you in the right direction for showing his notability. - Happysailor (Talk) 15:57, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

New Page - rejected
Hi HappySailor, I submitted about a week ago the page of "Itzchak Weismann" for review. it was declined on the basis of 'reliable sources'. i don't really understand what that means. it is a biography-type page. where should i place the citations needed? thanks, zivorenst — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zivorenst (talk • contribs) 10:21, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
- It means that he may well be notable, but you haven't added any sources so we can't tell. You need to show he has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. take a look at Referencing for beginners and Citing sources for any help in how to do this. - Happysailor (Talk) 17:43, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
HELP - Creating Userpage
Hello Happy Sailor,
I am new to Wikipedia so I ask to be excused in advance. I submitted an description of who I am using the sandbox. I thought that was the proper way so that my user page can be made (reviewed to make sure that I don't "vandalise" Wikipedia. I understand why it was rejected (No referencing at all).
Can you please let me know how I can properly create my userpage so I can also contribute? Additionally, on your talk page, it said I should use my talk page to communicate with you, but I cannot find a field where I can direct the message to you. It only has the field where I can type the message then submit; but I don't know to whom it will go.
Like I said, I just created an account now, and would love to learn more on how to contribute to Wikipedia.
Thank you.

The Judge Edmund F. Brennan Deletion
- Friend. Good evening. And thanks for the opportunity to chat with you for just a moment. Quick question. Would it be acceptable then for me to put the information that I have about Judge Brennan on the Talk Page for Operation Broken Trust? If it would, kindly let me know. Because I would very much like to include that information as a talk IF I can't make a page. It is rather important since this man was a key federal judge in deciding this case as it pertains to Northern California. Additionally. I have a personal connection to this operation/investigation because my wife was heavily involved in the matter. Thank you. And look forward to your thoughts.

Hi Happysailor. I appreciate your eagerness to help with various administrative tasks such as Articles for Creation. I wanted to let you know that when you archived some of the threads from Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects today, it rather messes with my schedule of doing this, as I am the main coordinator for the page. If I ever need assistance with the archiving for some reason, I might let you know, however it is much easier for me if just left to one person. Also, each request should be left unarchived for at least 24 hours to give the person who requested it a chance to see whether their request was accepted. Thanks, Rcsprinter123 (comment) @ 19:15, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Rcsprinter123, thanks for the message, a couple of things however:
- I've been working, replying to, and archiving redirect requests since 2010, so it's not like I've appeared from nowhere. I'm not new to this.
- If you notice, I have been leaving completed requests on the page for at least 24 hours before archiving.
- I had noticed that you were archiving the page regularly recently (thus haven't been doing it myself), but as you've been away from Wikipedia for part of this month and the page was getting unwieldy, I stepped in and carried on with what i've done in the past
- I appreciate that you consider yourself the coordinator for the page, and appreciate the work you do, but leaving messages for established editors who have been doing the task for 5 years basically telling them to stop because you want to do it yourself (and insinuating that I've done it wrong) is a little off.
- I've got no problem with you carrying on archiving the page, but I do check it regularly, and if I see it getting unwieldy again, i will archive it. - Happysailor (Talk) 20:06, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry if what I said above kind of gave the wrong tone; it was recycled. Basically, I always leave the page until there are 30 sections before archiving, and other people kind of getting in the way just complicates the daily schedule. I've been back since the 18th August, just so you know. Rcsprinter123 (rhapsodise) @ 20:13, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Notability of SA murder victim
Hi Happysailor
I have a problem with your decline of my article on Keanu Badenhorst. We in South Africa are dying in the most horrific murders, and the media, which is controlled by the ANC through BEE, does not report on it. I specifically made this entry regarding a 16 year old boy who was once again murdered in this country by our murderous thugs, to give him a legacy, so that his death was not in vain too. What makes Michael Brown notable, but not Keanu Badenhorst? The difference is the media coverage and the fact that Keany was just a boy at home, attacked and killed by 5 robbers, whereas Brown was a robber killed by a policeman. Michael Brown's death was notable because of widespread media reporting. Keanu should be just as notable, but because our press does not spread it, it is not worthy?
There is NO reason why any murder on innocent children should not be notable! Please advise, the reference I gave was from Independent Online Media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaco Zaayman (talk • contribs) 07:20, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

I've read your response. However you did no reference checks. This is not good faith as an editor or a publisher. The Nobel Party was formed in Minnesota as an Association a Political Party. The Association serves a King. Concerning other refernces Prince hall cannot verify that the Noble party serves a King because they are not apart of. However they can verify that I became a Mason in Korea. Including Albert Pike. I suggest you contact the Secretary of State of Minnesota and re- submit my article. It is a business article and not historical. Please be in good faith. You can also contact me at (Redacted). I am also looking forward to writing a book. concerning the Noble Party.

- Hi Theron, I can only assume (as your draft was deleted by an administrator) that the style, tone and content of your draft suggested that it was either a joke, or hoax. If you had included references I would have looked at them, so I can only assume that you either did not include any references in your draft, or that they were not clear.
- Wikipedia relies upon the fact that you need to show significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject to show notability. Failure to do that means your article may/will be deleted. See Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. It is not up to me to find the references etc for your draft/article. You must include links to these reliable references in your draft.article, so we can verify them (without resorting to telephoning or emailing people).

C.T. Jasper history-merge request
- At 17:38, 2 September 2015 User:Happysailor requested User:Legog/sandbox to be history-merged to Draft:C.T. Jasper. But there is a complicated history here including several lengths of edit history:-
- In Draft:C.T. Jasper, visible edits from 15:05, 1 September 2015 to 14:14, 2 September 2015, by Legog
- In Draft:C.T. Jasper, about 50 deleted edits, with what looks like a new start at 13:22, 1 August 2015 by Legog and deleted at 17:31, 7 August 2015 by FoCuSandLeArN as copyvio.
- In User:Legog/sandbox, about 25 edits, with what looks like a new start at 13:22, 1 August 2015 by Legog
- What is to be done with which of these while avoiding WP:Parallel histories? 14:01, 3 September 2015 User:Anthony Appleyard
- @Anthony Appleyard:: I think, all told, a change of plan. Since Chess declined the sandbox as a copyvio, I've taken a deeper look at Draft:C.T. Jasper, and put it through the CV detector, and it's mostly all a CV as well, so I don't think it's worth merging, since they're both looking at deletion due to copyright violations. - Happysailor (Talk) 16:14, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

(1) [1] This source is an existing Wikipedia article titled "List of education facilities in San Antonio" that reports the St. Matthew Catholic School of San Antonio in the "Private" schools section. Please note that other schools in the same list already have a dedicated Wikipedia article similar to this one.
(2) [2] This is a reference to an official government website that provides official data (e.g. Grade Span, Total Students,...etc) about the St. Matthew Catholic School of San Antonio reported in this article.
(3) [3] This is a page from the official website of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Antonio (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Archdiocese_of_San_Antonio) which lists the St. Matthew Catholic School of San Antonio among one of the schools of the Archdiocese as reported in this article.
(4) [4] An article in the KSAT News website (KSAT is the official TV news channel in San Antonio, Texas) that talks about the St. Matthew Catholic School of San Antonio, and, in particular provides additional useful information about the most recent inspection passed by the St. Matthew Catholic School of San Antonio.
I hope that, now that the article has been completed with this list of additional references, it will be soon moved from draft to published status.
THANK YOU for your help, dguiccia

- You're still not showing significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject to show notability. Your using primary references which do not show notability, and wikipedia which is not valid as a references. You need reliable third party references.

Defencesynergia. Hi Happysailor,
I'm really new at this and to be quite honest bewildered by the number of help pages and tutorials.
I edited the DS page and it was declined again even though I added a number of extra reference. I admit its untidy and probably in a bad format, but I do need serious help with my first page. I'm stumped on how to get more reliable sources other than the UK government's own documents and official reports. I would cite this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_National_Defence_Association who's references are all newspaper reports, yet was published. I do know a lot of the work Defencesynergia do is under Chatham house rules and therefore not in the public domain, but the DefenceSynergia think tank exists and is already referenced under this wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Osborne_Waddell. And I just found another news source here:http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/new-us-fighter-jet-on-course-to-becoming-one-of-historys-biggest-white-elephants-10238761.html
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Phalanxstar (talk) 17:25, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
- Take a look at what Prymshbmg said, you need better sources as you need to show significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject to show notability. - Happysailor (Talk) 16:25, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I'm writing on the article page for WEATNU, we have plenty of references, as we are reviewed by blogs, online magazine and many artists who use WEATNU. I am not versed with proper formatting on wiki, as it's mostly confusing to me. If you could edit it properly then I could continue. All our refs are indie refs.
This should be a page not so much an article
Please let me know.
Thanks.

That's a problem, as Wikipedia is for articles. You need to show significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject to show notability, so blogs etc are not suitable. - Happysailor (Talk) 16:26, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

- Did you have a question? because your article was declined because it failed WP:BIO. You need to show significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject to show notability. Social media etc is NOT suitable. - Happysailor (Talk) 16:27, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi HappySailor,
I have just updated again the article and it is now definitely showing significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject to show notability. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. In fact, I realized I forgot to include in the article two important sources which are now in the article: I have just added the citation of two separate BOOKS "published by respected publishing houses" that I have used as primary sources. You can now see that these citations have now been added to the article in the section "Books". The publishing houses of these two books that I have used as primary sources are very respected: (1) Pelican Publishing - http://pelicanpub.com/ - Formed in 1926, Pelican is the largest independent trade book publisher located in the U.S (2) Liturgical Press - http://www.litpress.org/LP/About_Us/ - Liturgical Press began publishing for the Church in 1926 is one of the most recognized houses in Catholic publishing
I hope you will agree with me that the article is now compliant with Wikipedia's publication requirements. THANK YOU for your cooperation.

- Hi. You have resubmitted it so it is now in the review queue. For a note, your setill relying on primary sources too much. - Happysailor (Talk) 11:40, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hi HappySailor,
- I'm confident that this time the article will be accepted. As you know, according to Wikipedia, "the distinction between primary and secondary sources is subjective and contextual, so that precise definitions are difficult to make. This article about the St. Matthew Catholic School contains the required amount of reliable secondary/primary sources and I'm very confident that it will pass the review process.
- Once again, thank you for your cooperation.
- Dguiccia (talk) 21:29, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
- That's fine, however out of the 7 sources you have, 4 are primary sources, so don't show notability, 2 are directories that only list the school, so again do not really show notability, and the final reference gives only a mention that the school had a perfect score in an inspection. Therefore, at the moment i'd say that there is still a notability issue on your draft.
- I'm going to leave the next review to another editor so you have another opinion, but take a look at this content guideline about reliable sources. - Happysailor (Talk) 21:47, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi Happysailor,
Thank you for reviewing the article in such a short time. I must admit that it was lacking a lot of things (from relevant content to references). I improved it and hopefully I managed to prove that George Quinn is notable and it is in the interest of the public to have an article about it on Wikipedia.
I will deeply appreciate if you can review the article again and tell me what you think!
Thanks!--Domiriat (talk) 15:44, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
