15:47:17, 4 April 2016 review of submission by Pierpre

edit


I would like to rename this article to "Menotti" (without the first name) as it is the pen name of screenwriter and comic book artist "Roberto Marchionni" - as stated in the article itself. "Roberto Menotti" is an Italian journalist who has nothing to do with the person this article is about.

Please search Google News (keywords "Menotti", "Roberto Marchionni") for evidence. Here are some of the first results as of today: http://www.lospaziobianco.it/176947-continuavano-chiamarlo-menotti-intervista-2-parte/ http://www.quinewsvaldera.it/pontedera-lo-sceneggiatore-menotti-allagora.htm http://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2016/02/06/lo-chiamavano-jeeg-robot%E2%80%8F-bentornato-claudio-santamaria-e-ben-arrivato-gabriele-mainetti/2438644/

I tried to move the article myself, but I get this message: "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reason: The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. Please choose another name, or use Requested moves to ask an administrator to help you with the move. Do not manually move the article by copying and pasting it; the page history must be moved along with the article text"

I tried to add a "move request" on the article's talk page, but I get this message: "Template:Requested move is not for moves from user space;if the only obstacle to an uncontroversial move is another page in the way, you can ask for the deletion of the other page. This may apply, for example, if the other page is currently a redirect to the article to be moved, a redirect with no incoming links, or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history"

Please help me to rename the article to the correct name.

Hi Pierpre - The page titled "Roberto Menotti" is what is known as a redirect page. It exists simply to redirect folks to an existing article, in this case the article titled, Menotti (artist and screenwriter), which is what you were attempting to do. So you are attempting to do something which is already accomplished. Onel5969 TT me 11:49, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Onel5969. Yesterday Menotti (artist and screenwriter) (the page I was attempting to create) didn't exist yet. Today the issue is fixed. To whoever did that, thank you!

I have attempted to submit my article several times but have been denied each time. I have attempted to fix the problems mentioned but the same problems seem to be reappearing. I am working with very limited resources on this article and would like to no exactly what is wrong so that it doesn't feel like I am changing the same thing over and over again. 18JessD (talk) 18:04, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello18JessD. I had a look at your draft and added some references so that they can be properly checked. I have also removed information which is unsuitable for an encyclopedia article such as the contact number and name for the person in charge, and what the public supposed to do if it floods. The article is also quite confusing. The draft said it was privately owned by the Ambler Water Department, which is actually a public body, not a private one. The relationship of the reservoir to the dam is also confusing, and was the reservoir really created in in 1986? What is the source for that? The dam was certainly built before that. There's also a lot of padding about the insects and fish at the reservoir, which are very common, and you've listed no source for their existence there. Having said all that, I don't think this tiny reservoir in a town of 6,000 people is suitable as a stand-alone article. It is one of thousands of such reservoirs in The US alone. There are separate articles for reservoirs in Pennsylvania, e.g. Kettle Creek Reservoir, but that reservoir covers 160 acres. The Loch Alsh reservoir covers only 8. It also has extremely limited coverage and what there is is entirely local and mostly about the dam. I suggest you write a brief, concise paragraph about it, minus all the padding, and add it to Ambler, Pennsylvania. Voceditenore (talk) 15:09, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
