"Draft:Sinfonia da Camera" review

Hi, Thanks for the quick response to our "Resubmit" request for "Draft:Sinfonia da Camera". And thanks for saying that it is almost ready to be accepted. Could you clarify your objection to the wording "simply a joy to hear"? This is the last few words of a direct quote from reference 8. The reason I quoted from this particular reference, rather than leaving it to the Wikipedia reader to simply go to the reference, is because this reference is hidden behind a paywall. Wagneroperafan and I want to move this from "Draft:" to article soon, so I will simply take out the quote if you think that is necessary. However, before doing that I wanted to check with you, to see whether you noticed that this was a quotation from a source. Maybe you are saying that a quotation from a source should only be put into a Wikipedia article if the quotation comes from a url, e.g., not a book, and only if the url is freely available. Thanks. CWBoast (talk) 20:35, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey, @CWBoast:, what I meant was having the quote in the article is unnecessary, and a summary of reviews would be more encyclopedic. Thanks, ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 20:39, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

I removed the two "evaluative" quotes. What is the next step? Do I hit the "Resubmit" button again, or wait for a response from you? Thanks. CWBoast (talk) 21:01, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

looks good to me. Go ahead and resubmit. ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 21:18, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. Sinfonia da Camera is now an article. I'm pleased. A request: Is there any way that you could make the "Your submission at Articles for creation: Sinfonia da Camera has been accepted" message which appeared on my Talk page also appear on the Talk page of Wagneroperafan? I'm sure Wagneroperafan would appreciate it -- since the process of creating this article has been a truely joint effort. Thanks CWBoast (talk) 03:29, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

@CWBoast:  Done ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 12:25, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

One last question: In your opinion, would it be appropriate to display the quoted material (which I removed from the article) in the ref itself, i.e., as "|quote=...". In other words, was it the presence of the quoted material in the body of the article itself that you found to be inappropriate? CWBoast (talk) 15:48, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Pending response from you, I put the quotes in the refs themselves. Still interested in your opinion. Thanks CWBoast (talk) 03:08, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Your GA reviewing

I have noticed, and am very concerned, that you are taking very substantial articles to GA review with no prior experience evident. For instance, your review of History of agriculture is practically non-existent.. an article that is well over 80kb in size and one where I found many occurences of dead references. I have now noticed you have chosen to GA review iOS 10.. again, another article vast in size. I would strongly urge you to either get a 2nd and/or 3rd opinion on your current review, or consider instead taking a much smaller article, then similarly asking the community to assess your own assessment so you can better understand the criteria. Whilst I don't want to discourage new GA reviewers, equally we can't have people passing articles without even touching the surface of what a "good article" represents. You may want to check my query at the GA talk page also and reply if you feel appropriate. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:32, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

History of agriculture

Hi, in response to the above, I've listed and checked the dead links, fixing 8 problems. Please could you check the new links and verify that I've done what I've said on the Talk:History of agriculture/GA2 page - it'll save me and others a lot of trouble now we're where we are, I'd be most grateful. I've also run the Copyvio detector (in the GA toolbox at top right of that page; again, could you please check I did it correctly. It would also be a good idea if you could read through the article again, and let me know if anything isn't clearly worded. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:52, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Thought you might need this beer

Sorry if you felt piled-on with that GA Review stuff. GA Reviews (& the related featured article nominating process) can both be quite tricky. When I was doing the most-recent GA Cup I worked through a (very) few GA Reviews of monstrously-big articles...they sometimes felt like my own personal editing ultra-marathon. Anyway, thought you might need a beer. Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 17:32, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 17:33, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

No stated concern

How can you PROD an article with no stated concern? No one can address your concern if you don't state it. - Jmabel | Talk 17:00, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and deleted Manju Latha Kalanidhi, but for future reference, you should use {{db-move}} on the article itself if you're accepting a draft that already exists as a redirect. Primefac (talk) 21:18, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Request re: Articles for Creation Help Desk

Hello, ProgrammingGeek. I'm one of your fellow volunteers over at the Articles for Creation Help Desk. I'm writing to ask a small favor -- when responding to user questions, would you indent your responses? The indentations provide an easy visual clue as to which questions have already been answered. It's not a big deal, but it would be of some help nonetheless if we didn't have to read through a question only to see that it already had a response. Thanks.

Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Volunteer Roll Call

This is a volunteer roll call sent to you on behalf of the current Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Coordinator, Robert McClenon, and is being sent to you because you have listed yourself as a volunteer at DRN. If you remain interested in helping at DRN and are willing to actively do so by taking at least one case (and seeing it through) or helping with administrative matters at least once per calendar month, please add your name to the roll call list. Those who do not add their name on the roll call list will be removed from the principal volunteer list after May 31, 2017 unless the DRN Coordinator chooses to retain their name for the best interest of DRN or the encyclopedia. Individuals whose names are removed after May 31, 2017, should feel free to re-add their names to the principal volunteer list, but are respectfully requested not to do so unless they are willing to take part at DRN at least one time per month as noted above. No one is going to be monitoring to see if you live up to that commitment, but we respectfully ask that you either live up to it or remove your name from the principal volunteer list.

I would encourage you to look at how many disputes Debresser has been involved in. Though I have not been editing as long as he has, I have been for several years, have thousands of edits, and the only dispute involving me is the the one with Debresser. deisenbe (talk) 16:03, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

"Comment only on the contributions not the contributor." is one of the foundations of WP:DRN. The case probably should have been closed and Deisenbe told to write an acceptable dispute overview statement. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:28, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

• I'm not sure you want to accept a case which is pending at the ANI. I agree with NeilN.

Hello!

Ive already wrote you regarding this issue. My article has been declined, but Im not sure why. Could you please help me, so I can change what it is wrong and then move forward to publish it?

Thanks a lot in adavance!! Best, Julia

Tiptonjuli, your draft needs reliable sources to demonstrate notablilty. In addition, advertising and weasel words must be removed. ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 13:23, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

The cuban brothers

Hi the above article has just been published but when i start to edit to remove inappropriate sources I get the message that its submission was declined by you yesterday. Should it have been published anyway? Domdeparis (talk) 13:36, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

The article should not have been published. Please continue working on it at Draft:The Cuban Brothers, and re-submit it for review when you are ready. Thanks! ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 13:53, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

thanks but I'm not the creator I'm a new pages patroller and i was doing a bit of clean up. Should I propose it for deletion? Domdeparis (talk) 14:25, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't realise. I tagged it for CSD. ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 14:26, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for taking over the 3o at Talk:Ivan_Asen_I_of_Bulgaria#Maps. I solved this dispute for them, closing it in Borsoka's favor, and apparently, that makes me a sockpuppet of him. 68.233.214.74 (talk) 20:37, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thank you very much for you starting the review process of Columbidae. :) Actually, I have examinations going on right now, so it would be great if you would allow me to have some time to rectify any issues on the article. The examinations finish on 25th; however, I will try my best to ameliorate the issues in the article. Thank You again. :) Adityavagarwal (talk) 00:57, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Submission on IDS NEXT

Hi, Thanks a lot for your response on my helpdesk query here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk#04:52:31.2C_9_May_2017_review_of_submission_by_Jacob.ki.

I did go through the articles on neutral content, soapboxing etc but i am deeply confused as the wording i am using is absolutely neutral according to me as there are many similar articles already up on Wikipedia.

As discussed, i am writing about a 30 year old company that is established and well known in the hospitality circles in the geographies it operates. I have the content with me in a word doc and i need your advise on how do i get help to make it in a wikipedia publishable format. I greatly appreciate your help.

Jacob.ki (talk) 10:17, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

You could try pasting it into the visual editor, but Wikipedia doesn't support Word. Looks like you have to do the formatting yourself, sorry. ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 12:00, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

As i am a new user, i need your advise on a couple of things: 1. Which visual editor do i paste? If i put in Draft, it gets deleted, if i put in sandbox it gets deleted, plus i get warnings - so wondering where i can paste the content so someone like you can see and advise without me getting further warning messages...49.204.77.38 (talk) 05:03, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

@Jacob.ki: Your submission is getting deleted because it it too promotional. If you can't write the submission in a neutral tone, then perhaps list it at WP:Requested articles. Thanks. ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 12:31, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Mitchell Kummen

Hello! Thanks for your review.

So, I have one simple question regarding the subject draft. Is that long quote the only issue, because I can easily delete it or refer to it in about 5 minutes. Will the article FINALLY be approved if I do that? I've deleted it for the time being.I had to wait 4 weeks to reach this point, some I'm motivated. Haha. Please let me know. Thanks so much. Gary.W.Fuller (talk) 01:16, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, Gary.W.Fuller, Primefac pointed out that the 'copyvio' was a quote. That was my fault, sorry. ProgrammingGeek ^talktome 12:33, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

New Page Review - Newsletter No.4

Hello ProgrammingGeek,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 803 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Stay up to date with recent new page developments and have your say, read THIS PAGE.
