Joe Pullen entry / re-title: Death of Joe Pullen

Hello, Thank you for looking at an entry I created called "Joe Pullen."

In accordance with the guidelines on "notability," I would like to change the title for the entry to "Death of Joe Pullen."

I have just added more content, as well as several more citations and suggestions for further reading.

I am a historian and a History professor, and have carefully checked all facts and citations in this entry.

Thank you,

Okay John, I've moved your article. It can now be found at Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Death_of_Joe_Pullen. It's not really good for the same person to review an article over and over, but I'm sure it will be rereviewed in due time. Thanks, TheOneSean 22:18, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Review Academy?

Hello,

I just came to hear that you are possibly considering building an review academy. As someone who has been involved marginally in reviewing, and a little more directly in mentoring; I think this is something we definitely need. I'll be happy to provide you any services you may need for the setting up and running of such a program.

Cheers, TheOriginalSoni (talk) 22:25, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for that offer! As soon as the backlog elimination drive is over, I will be working to finish the course. I will frequently be posting requests for help over at WT:AFC, but if there's anything I need you for, I won't hesitate to ask. Thanks, theonesean 03:49, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

...for the slick barnstar. I can offer to semi-protect your userpage for you to keep all vandals at bay.- Gilliam (talk) 04:08, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

That would be awesome, thanks. I do a lot of work with AfC, and apparently I've caused some animosity. Just a temporary one would be good, in case 71.whatever dude decides to come back using tor or something. TOR! THAT'S IT! I completely forgot, I run a Tor exit node. That's how my own IP vandalised me. (Holy crap, I forgot that.) But thanks, a semi-protect would be amazing. Have a good evening/day/morning/night (Have a good inter-night.) Thanks and bye, theonesean 04:12, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

How long is up to you, or should I apply it indef?- Gilliam (talk) 04:22, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Completely up to you. I have no experience with this stuff. Whatever is normal for userpage vandalism. Thanks, theonesean 04:24, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

I protected it for a year. Let me know if you have any more trouble. Take care!- Gilliam (talk) 04:27, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

You're wonderful. Thank you so much. theonesean 04:30, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Apologies

I totally overlooked your posting on my talk page about a font wiki-project until just now. I'm not particularly interested, as I really don't do justice to the projects, other than DR projects, which I've already joined. I'd love to chat about fonts from time to time, however, if you'd like. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 18:07, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

It's fine, don't worry about it. Starting a WikiProject is probably a long way off for me, anyway. But thanks for your message. See you, theonesean 21:06, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Maciej Tarnogrodzki

Hello,

this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Maciej_Tarnogrodzki was rejected by you because of incorrect citation. Can you please let me know how to correct. This article was accepted couple of days ago and then moved back by another reviewer. Is it possible please that you can advise me and then I can fix and resubmit to you and not being reviewed by new person. Every person says something else and it is very difficult to publish the article. Previously I was informed that citations and references are fine but I need to add more content which was done but then another comments were different. Can you please advise so I can finally fix that.

Thank you Bartar

15:21, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Bartar, it would be my pleasure. I will look over the article in minute detail in a few days. I will post my comments on the page itself. Thanks, theonesean 15:25, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Kash Gauni

Hello Theonesean

I am trying to create a page for Kash Gauni. I have included notable articles on this person from Major Newspapers in Canada. What more notable stuff do you want. One of his book got into biggest Indie films coming out of Canada.

Please just research this guy on Internet independently

Thank you

Pam Snyder, Article Submission Denied

Hello TheOneSean... you suggested I messaged you in regards to formatting the article for Pam Snyder... It's been denied quite a few times, mainly due to references, but I'm very much confused as to why the article continues to be denied. Any assistance you could offer would be much appreciated!

Submission - "Rothenberg Ventures"

Hey Theonesean!

Thanks for reviewing my "Rothenberg Ventures" submission. I thought that the Tech Crunch article about the firm is a venerable resource and talks directly about the firm, and not just the companies it's backing. Let me know if you disagree. It's a year old firm, so there's not a lot of press coverage on the firm specifically, but moreso the actions the firms taking.

Do you have any advice on how I can get this approved?

Thanks!

Flinndustries (talk) 18:21, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for contacting me. I apologize for taking so long to reply. (Haven't had good internet access recently.) The TechCrunch article is a good source, but it's the only news source. Everything in the article needs to be well sourced. For more on that, see WP:42. Also, you might want to check out WP:NCORP. Thanks, theonesean 19:48, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

No, LinkedIn isn't valid, because anyone can create a LinkedIn account. By the same logic, Facebook, Google+, YouTube, and Answers.com aren't particularly reliable, but YouTube can be cited in some cases. Thanks, theonesean 20:06, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Sean,

would you mind teaching me how to make links into an image, like in your banner. Miss Bono^(zootalk)☆ 20:12, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, totally! It took a little bit of time to figure out. Do you have an image in mind, or would you like me to draw you a banner? theonesean 06:12, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

I am making an image with Photoshop. I'll let you know when it's finished. Thank you so much! :) Miss Bono ^[zootalk]☆ 12:17, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Dan Haerle Article

Hi Theonesean, I'm still requesting that you take a look at my Dan Haerle page and see if it (hopefully) meets the criteria to be included in Wikipedia.

Please explain

Please explain why you felt it necessary to "review" a temporary page created within my own user namespace. Thanks. Levdr1lp / talk 05:17, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

I pinged you

Hi,

I'd just left you a ping at WT:Snuggle, so I thought maybe I should explain why. If you've tried it, you'll see that Snuggle is a highly useful new tool that Epochfail has designed to help mentors find and help mentees. We also had an IRC Office hours discussion on the same 2 days ago. During the course of the discussion, we came across the problem of non-experienced editors who want to be mentors. We're currently discussing how to get across that problem on the talk page I pinged you at, and I thought that your training academy for AfC reviewers achieves similar goals. I'll be interested to see if you'll want to look into Snuggle and this proposal.
