John Karidis

Hi Hallows AG

What is the criteria for being an "unsourced" article-- when John Karidis is mentioned in wikipedia's own pages. Right here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_ThinkPad_Butterfly_keyboard In any case, I added many other refs including reference to museum of modern art and U.S. patent organization's website uspto.gov — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bulent abali (talk • contribs) 18:16, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

I've looked at your article submission again and found some problems. Some of the sources there (LinkedIn, Wikipedia (cough), and YouTube) cannot be counted as reliable sources. I'm sure you can find other sources. Good luck!--Hallows AG (talk) 18:50, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello,

Thank you for your review. When it says it has been created, does it mean I can type on google and find the article? I typed "God and Evil" wikipedia but I couldn't find it. Can you tell me how to find it on google? Thank you so much for your assistance.

AfC accepts

Hi Hallows! Firstly, thanks for helping out at AfC. I just wanted to mention that I saw some of the articles you accepted and was a little concerned about some of them. I found some that were a bit dodgy on notability, were a bit promotional or contained easy to fix formatting issues. I have run them all through AWB to fix most of the formatting issues, but you may wish to re-examine some of them. I'm not trying to level criticism here, just letting you know in case you wanted to look over some of them again. Best. Pol430 talk to me 21:14, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know! I'll be more careful in in reviewing submissions from now on.--Hallows AG (talk) 18:43, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi again Hallows, Great work! Just to let you know, I moved Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Anton Vidgen back to AFC space, needs more work on referencing. It was either that or nominate it for AFD. Feel free to revert me if you disagree. Best Pol430 talk to me 21:45, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Article Creation

Hi Hallows AG, I was recently trying to make a new article concerning the Dwight Hall SRI Fund but couldn't make it meet the creation standards. While I'm a long time user of wikipedia and a self-declared wiki-racing veteran, I'm very new to creating articles and would appreciate if you could help steer me in the right direction. You recently reviewed my new article and cited that it was lacking reliable, independent sources. Was that the only issue; could you let me know if there are other problems I should be aware of? Also, how can I go about finding reliable sources. I thought that citing different links not directly affiliated with the group would be enough. Thanks for your help!

Disambiguation link notification for March 13

Hi. When you recently edited Edward Schumacher-Matos, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Columbia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Declined Submission

I am finally giving back to the community that I have sponged off of so long. I am in the process of creating my first page and I was curious as to the reason for my article being declined (Declining submission: submission is unsourced or contains only unreliable sources). I have 3 reliable sources (Allmusic.com, Billboard May 23, 1970 104 pages (page 72) Vol. 82, No. 21 ISSN 0006-2510, and www.countryjoe.com {which is the website of the former lead singer 'Country Joe McDonald'}. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated, and perhaps it will make my submissions go more smoothly in the future. Thank you for your time and contributions to the community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.77.17.73 (talk) 08:48, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

New Page Triage newsletter

Hey all!

Thanks to everyone who attended our first office hours session; the logs can be found here, if you missed it, and we should be holding a second one on Thursday, 22 March 2012 at 18:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. I hope to see you all there :).

In the meantime, I have greatly expanded the details available at Wikipedia:New Page Triage: there's a lot more info about precisely what we're planning. If you have ideas, and they aren't listed there, bring them up and I'll pass them on to the developers for consideration in the second sprint. And if you know anyone who might be interested in contributing, send them there too!

Edward Schumacher-Matos Article

You recently reviewed my contribution on Edward Schumacher-Matos. Apparently it is not yet ready for publication. Do you have any tips on how I can bring the article up to Wikipedia's standards? The article is here. Thank you! Stephanniestokes (talk) 13:50, 12 March 2012 (UTC)stephanniestokes

I'll try and fix the article tomorrow. Seeing the article, it shouldn't be too hard to bring it to standard. Cheers, Hallows AG (talk) 22:06, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Article on an award winning personality in Mines and minerals.

Hi Hallow AG,

This is the third time i am asking a Wikipedia moderator to let me know how can I upload his article. Please let me know in case the links are not reliable. Kiran Mehra is already renowned industrialist in mines and mineral industry.

I could not get any response on the live chat medium. Please help.

StarWars-Figuren.com Submission

Hi,

I wonder why you turned down the submission? The sites purpose was written in detail. It is NOT an advertisement, true facts have been stated, leaving out any personal subjective wording. How else should I write something about a website? 80.138.158.182 (talk) 11:43, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

It still looks like advertising to me. Cheers, Hallows Aktiengesellschaft (talk) 21:12, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
