Mary-Lance is a widely published author from the Kansas City area. In addition, she is noted for the education and improvement of other authors ranging from children to elders writing memoirs, heading up the Kansas City Writers' Group.

The references (copied and pasted below) are from third party, independent, reliable, published sources including several articles in the Kansas City Star (Kansas City area's main newspaper for an MSA of 2.3 million people-ref. Wikipedia), The Warrensburg, Missouri, Daily Star-Journal (main city newspaper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Star-Journal), The Marshall Democrat-News (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Democrat-Nehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Olathe_Newsws), the Lawrence Journal-World (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Journal-World),The Olathe Daily News (renamed to Olathe News in 2004), The Kansas State University Collegian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_State_Collegian), The Arlington Heights, IL Daily Herald (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Herald_(Arlington_Heights)).

I know I messed up the formatting for references and need help with that, but there are 23 independent, published reference sources in the article.

Do I need more than 23? Are some or a majority considered not independent or reliable by you?

Thank you CMLance (talk) 14:43, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

The Paragraph that you referenced as evidence that it is an advertisement was intended to be placed under Mary-Lane's photograph on the right side of the page (similar to Stephen King's information). I've removed the contentious paragraph. Please review it again without the paragraph to which you objected. CMLance (talk) 01:46, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Unheaded question from Antlady

I am trying to set up my course to use Wikipedia but my university is not listed. I have gone through the tutorials, and used the course wizard to get started. This process took me to the Educator NoticeBoard. What do I have to do next to get my university in the Special:Institutions page and start a new course there?

Thanks for any help to a newbie! Antlady Antlady (talk) 14:20, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

The Godfather: Five Families Sources

Hi! Thanks for commenting on my draft, Draft: The Godfather: Five Families (Game). I know my sources are biased towards the game, however, it's hard to find an unbiased article about the game. I've written my article without bias, pulling only the facts from the biased sources. I understand if this is still not enough. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks! Cjsmith.us (talk) 15:58, 19 August 2014 (UTC) Cjsmith.us

(talk page stalker) Hi @Cjsmith.us:, I took a look at your draft and it seems like it is not notable per WP:NVG by the sources you have. You need more Secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Also, your username looks promotional per the Username policy. Would you mind explaining it?

Problem & Resolution

Hi Lixxx235! Thanks for agreeing to be my online ambassador! I posted this question to the education page coordinator, too: Hello! I am working on moving my Fall 2013 Course course to my Fall 2014 Course. WP says that I have no current courses, but I have created the Fall 2014 page and have started entering material adapted from 2013. Do you have ideas for a repair? Thank you, Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 04:44, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Unheaded question

Hi Lixxx235.

Earlier this month I submitted an article for creation on Arthur Dyson, an important American architect. It took me 4 months to write, and I am going to add photos when I have received the copyright clearances. You can find that article here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Arthur_Dyson

I then cleared the Dyson code from my sandbox to start working on another article. Perhaps I did something wrong in that, but I could not see another option for a second sandbox.

You declined my article. Can you please let me know what I need to do to make the article acceptable? I honestly can't imagine what's missing.

Many thanks to you, Bragdonite — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bragdonite (talk • contribs) 17:47, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

@Bragdonite: Hi! A sincere thanks to you for creating content on Wikipedia. I don't quite recall declining that article, as the page history shows; maybe you could jog my memory a bit? I honestly don't remember ;)

As for how to make the page better, I recommend you join #wikipedia-en-help ^connect, a help channel using IRC for Wikipedians needing help. There are very dedicated people there who will help you more than I can. If there's anything else you need, just ask. Happy editing! Cheers, Thanks, L235-Talk Ping when replying 21:26, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Removal of permission flags

{{admin!}} I don't really know the place to put this, but I guess this is good enough. Due to a personal issue, I've grown slightly less active over the past month or so, and in consideration of that, I'd like an admin to remove my rollback and reviewer flags. I'll just request them back when I become more active and the personal issue is resolved. Thanks. Cheers, Thanks, L235-Talk Ping when replying 02:45, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) It would probably be best for you to just keep them--being inactive is not a reason to remove the flags, plus it would create an undue and unneeded action since you're just gonna request them back anyways. Obviously you -can- request them to be removed, just that's what I think. Tutelary (talk) 02:49, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Adoption

Hi, Lixxx235. I'm still interested in continuing the adoption process. Would love to get started! Hope you will consider it. SusanChana (talk) 18:36, 9 September 2014 (UTC)SusanChana

@SusanChana: Great! One thing: I've learned from previous adoptions that set "courses" don't work well. I propose that you simply ask me questions about Wikipedia or certain topic areas and I'll do my best to answer them and that'll be the whole adoption. How does that sound? Cheers, Thanks, L235-Talk Ping when replying 19:47, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

The autobiography tag

Okay I was iffy about putting it at first but seeing that the name of the person who made the page had the same name I thought it might be possible. Nothing wrong with that. Wgolf (talk) 02:14, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

@Wgolf: Yes, it is plainly an autobiography. Other helpers and I have had lots of conversation with him on #wikipedia-en-help ^connect, as stated on the talk page. Is there a question to the subject's notability or the article's neutrality, or anything else that requires attention? Cheers, Thanks, L235-Talk Ping when replying 02:17, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Adoptee Assistance

@Lixxx235 having some issues trying to get something edited on the Ivapan Solar Project Page. I've posted suggested edits with citations on the talk page of the article and the response I received suggested I go in and make the edits myself. Given my WP:COI do you think this advisable?

Can you help me resolve a student issue?

Hi, L235! I have a student, User:TheDudeReigns who is locked out of his account. He did not enter an email when he entered his account, so he can't do password recovery. Do you have any suggestions of where to go?

Just to let you know, the students will be finishing their pre-peer review drafts on Monday. If you're inclined, I invite you to pop in and look some of them over that seem interesting to you. Thanks, and cheers! Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 16:18, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

@Prof.Vandegrift: Hi! Sorry I haven't been paying much attention to your class. I'm sorry to say that there's no way to recover the password or otherwise reset it without a verified email on an account. Sorry. :/ As for reviewing drafts, I'm more than willing to review them.

Hello,

Thank you for reviewing my page. I will edit and re-submit. Can I ask, if I make it more neutral as you commented would this be okay to submit? In terms of references- I'm trying to find other neutral online references, but there is a limited selection of what I can pick. There should be more coming up in the future I hope. Thank you.

Regards,

Simon
