multiple in-depth coverage in reliable sources
1961 - 1965: Somali Ambassador accredited in Italy and the Vatican as well as to the European Economic Community
could the links in Italy and European economic community be considered as reliable sources — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmedsayed6311 (talk • contribs) 08:23, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
You took links away
You took existing links away someone else added to the page, one of which happened to have been of the event I organise, all I did was update the outdated link and info with the link, as the webaddress changed and we nolonger have a forum. Now you took it away completely which is quite frankly very rude. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BantonPhoenix (talk • contribs) 21:29, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

My Article
Dear The road is long,
Hi, thank you for your message. as I know you reviewed and declined my article. Could you please kindly let me know what is the specific problem with my article? I dont know what is the problem. I just have added some sources and need time to add more. But if I know what is the problem, will do my best for the rest of it.

Thanks for your reply. The link does not work. could you please check and resend it for me? For a musician, a video or audio of his work is the best source to introduce him/her by his job and not just by words. I wonder why you said it is not reliable. I assume that a youtube video as a vlog or etc might not be reliable. but Music or Film or any other media that introduce an artist is the best way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daveawe (talk • contribs) 07:42, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
Kevin P. Thompson notability
Dear Theroadislong, I have removed external links from the article. Sorry for the blunder. I would like to add why I think this person is justified for a wikipedia page. He is a scientist/engineer who has contributed significantly in the development of modern technology. This is verified by a third party, the Optical Society. This is one of the largest societies for optics in the world which hosts many conferences, is responsible for scientific publications and the advancement of the field in general. In 2017 they established an award in honor of the contributions of the subject of the article. Thank you for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vasilis Theofylaktopoulos (talk • contribs) 16:47, 13 August 2019 (UTC) Furthermore, he is a recipient of an award himself.

Yes they are reliable, but they are primary sources, so not independent
Hi, The line between these different sources has become a bit blurred for me. Found this on Wikipedia:
To verify that a subject is important, only a source that is independent of the subject can provide a reliable evaluation (I believe that the references I provided can indeed be categorized as "only a source that is independent of the subject"). The article continues.. A source too close to the subject will always believe that the subject is important enough to warrant detailed coverage, and relying exclusively upon this source will present a conflict of interest and a threat to a neutral encyclopedia.
Much as I would like to continue with this project, I think I have come up against a dead end. Please let me know if with the info. I have provided the page is ready to be published. Thank you very much for your advice and believe me I would hate to abandon this project and look forward to your input... Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmedsayed6311 (talk • contribs) 02:51, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
I am not the editor that created that page, but I tried to clean it up a bit and added a secondary source (major Dutch news site Nu.nl). I also linked to the existing wiki pages of some of the other works by the actor. Can you have a look to see if it addresses your concerns? Hg03u (talk) 22:44, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

The draft is stuffed full of marketing trumpery, for example " to enable the students and scientists of today for the requirements of tomorrow" "Sintratec's laser sintering technology allows the production of complex and freeform objects which meet demanding part resolution, robustness and temperature requirements." "Many hundreds of professional Sintratec machines are in operation around the world in various industries," 'The step-by-step guidance and the user-friendly design allows an easy handling of 3D-files and the print settings." and none of the awards are notable.

Sample of links already provided
You have reviewed the article on the Author Arnaud Segla Saying:
"This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."
I want to know how many additional references must be included since the external links coming with the page created are already sample of content published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent and talk of the subject.
Considering these links is it possible to validate the publication as it is?
Thanks in advance

/* Roy Franks */
Hello, I don't know if you remember reviewing an article iv'e written, but if you do could i get a little more info on the reason for rejection? I want to edit it to the liking and acceptance of others, but unfortunately i'm not sure on the major issue, i know at first the source was not the best so i fixed that with a better source. I am trying to get a job as a writer and am trying to get public articles as references. im very new to wiki, but so far my work is rejected and i have trouble figuring out why. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Americanretail (talk • contribs) 19:33, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Robert,
this is Paul who meanwhile is very desperate concerning the article for our band. I really did a lot of research and work to put relevant data together. The band has been in the Austrian Hitparade way back in the 90s and it was not possible to get any data from the Austrian Broadcasting Society so far.But the main point( & sorry again for bugging u with this but I live now in the anxiety that the whole article and the work therefor will get lost) is the amount of activities, collaborations, releases this band has done in the last 30 years of their existence. I very much respect the standards u have but I would love you to take another minute and run through our story and the long reference and external link list to understand why I believe we qualify. Which means I also would love to see u respecting our work of being a considerable international musical group that has a certain amount of relevance for their worldwide communities. To sum up : Dubblestandart is an internationally known brand for innovative dub reggae music since 1989. We were the first band from Austria to play a legendary Summerstage show in Central Park New York City and first worked with Lee Perry in 1991. We produced a full length album with Lee Perry, Ariup from the Slits and film director David Lynch. We have 16th full length albums in the market, a great many of them is distributed and available online and physically on all 5 continents. We worked as a backing band, produced, remixed for Lee Perry, Dillinger, Ken Boothe, Marica Griffiths, Supermax, Sly & Robbie and a great many of internationally legendary musicians. We are signed since almost 2 decades to the internationally well known German Dub label www.echobeach.de We were signed to Gig Records by Marcus Spiegel who invented FALCO, one of the biggest world wide stars that came out of Austria. Our work connected us to Subatomic Sound System from New York City who build their entire career on the material we provided from the Return From Planet Dub production with Lee Perry in 2008. We also brought Subatomic Sound System from the US to Shows in India, Europe, Canada ao. WE are part of an world wide network were we are respected and appreciated and nobody questions our status quo. Please understand that its not always a matter of attitude why bands like us want to get recognition but an insane amount of work behind us and if commercial success remains tricky the artistical success is something we can relate to, as our followers will, appreciating our listing on Wikipedia worldwide. You are important to us.
Please make it happen!!
Thanx a lot for reviewing again! sincerely Paul
ps: the reference and external link sections are exactly like on many other Wikipedia articles... if its not allowed to use the Wikipedia link in German language as a reference( which I find a bit awkward) I can simply remove it. I listed many references of independent sources that mention Dubblestandart. To verify those articles I provided as not notable, I don't know what to say....
- Your reference and external link sections are NOT exactly like on many other Wikipedia articles. You clearly haven't read WP:REFB yet despite repeated requests, your sources need to relate to the content, each statement of fact requires a reference. Please also read WP:BAND for how to establish notability of a band. Theroadislong (talk) 12:15, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

The Granite Page
Hi, Theroadislong
I got your response regarding the Granite Telecommunications page and am not sure I understand the flag. Nearly the entire entry is sourced from highly reputable sources (newspapers, major business press, tech industry publications). The only items sourced from the subject directly are its products list, which seems like it should be the most accurate source for that, their offices listings or expansion announcements (also the most reliable source for that), and the detailed listing of their charitable activities, which were prominent I looked the company up for the profile.
Can you please clarify the portion that you think is improper? I am happy to make changes but when I look at this, nothing seems obviously out of line. Especially if I look at similar pages that are in good standing.
Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Technutt (talk • contribs) 19:59, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
- Technutt It was declined because it reads like an advertisement and is not written in a neutral tone. The draft is stuffed with unsuitable promotional marketing trumpery…“LLC is a $1.4 billion telecom carrier and data provider” “customers include more than 80% of the Fortune 100 companies” “By the end of 2014, Granite had more than 1,200 employees, served 13,500 businesses and government organizations at over 240,000 locations in the U.S. and Canada, and had eclipsed $1 billion in annual revenue” “By year’s end, after seven consecutive years of $100 million in annualized revenue growth, Granite surpassed $1.35 billion in revenue”, “Granite announced a strategic focus on indirect sales with the addition of seven regional channel managers to strengthen local support of indirect sales operations” we need the dry facts not sensational prose. Theroadislong (talk) 20:23, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
- Theroadislong Alright. I see that approach in many pages and assumed it was necessary to establish that the company is notable. There are Wiki of the largest providers in America that have internal links to Wiki pages to every company but Granite (this was actually what started this project for me, in fact-- it was an obvious omission), and there are pages of the largest telecom companies in the world that include smaller firms than this one. So in my thinking the revenue and industry position detail were relevant. But I can trim all of that down and resubmit the page. Thanks for the feedback.
- Theroadislong I stripped all of that information and resubmitted the page. Please let me know if I did it correctly. Thanks.

Theroadislong My opinion is [[ping|Atheera raj illalai}} has a chip on their shoulder,and rather than create their own articles expects you or WP to create articles for persons they nominate.It appears from their comments here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Khans_of_Bollywood, that they have a problem with Muslim Indians, and ready to accuse of Hindu phobia. I don't think that they understand that WP articles are created by persons who might have an interest in the subject.

- Wacholderweg All your sources are connected to the subject. An independent source is a source that has no vested interest in a given Wikipedia topic and therefore is commonly expected to cover the topic from a disinterested perspective. More details here Wikipedia:Identifying and using independent sources. Theroadislong (talk) 17:16, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
Thanks again for such a prompt response! I've looked over the page you directed me to and I am unsure how the three news articles included do not meet the criteria for an independent source. Apologies if this seems obtuse - this is my first time attempting to write a Wikipedia article, and so I mirrored the content of a page about another evolutionary psychologist (Benedict_Jones). Would it be helpful if I moved these to earlier in the article than the 'External Links' section? Thanks for your patience! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wacholderweg (talk • contribs) 00:14, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello Theroadislong!
I recently submitted a wiki page for review and it was declined due to its lack of references. I'm reaching out to you to ask a couple of questions if that's okay.

For the sources, I cited independent sources, such as - http://www.genios.de/fachzeitschriften/artikel/MTB/20080617/umweltschutz-und-nachhaltigkeit-in-/060817061.html - https://www.biooekonomie-bw.de/de/fachbeitrag/aktuell/insektenchitin-macht-textilherstellung-nachhaltiger/
In order to have more evidence, I added information from further independent sources and references: - https://www.bloomberg.com/profiles/companies/6311207Z:GR-textilchemie-dr-petry-gmbh - https://www.bluesign.com/industry/chemical-suppliers/references/textilchemie-dr-petry
Thank you in advance for re-reviewing.
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for your assistance with Draft:InnoCare. I have included {{connected contributor}} and noted it on your user page that I work for that company. They're not paying me to create this page, I just think it would cool to have a Wikipedia page. Let me know if there's anything else you can suggest to improve my draft. I appreciate your help!

Hi there, thank very much for your care and consideration to to help build this page. I can understand why the review was rejected, as i hadn't cited enough sources on the first draft. I was wondering if you'd mind having a read over the latest draft and checking if it is better now thank you. SP

Dear Theroadislong
Hope you are fine and doing good.
I am requesting for a review again as the major comment for rejection/decline of this article was its Reference section or having less references. Now, the draft has been updated, and more than 20 solid references have been employed, with more historical details, and best possible bibliographic support in the light of the available literature. This single page article is now having over 25 appropriate references, and are strengthened with new data.
Your anticipation in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Sincere Regards
The objected references (facebook) has been udpated with the departmental URLS (links to the webpages). Thank you for the Prompt response and providing support to make this draft better.
Dear Theroadislong
Thank you very much for your prompt response.
The objected references (facebook) has been udpated with the departmental URLS (links to the webpages). I think, these were the most up to dated and regularly updating references. Moreover, the last paragraph was deleted, because the book describing the paragraph and the mentioned material is in press (which is written by Dr. Ikram), and once the book got published, the three to four lines paragraph will be inserted again.
I do hope, that the draft will get approved now and will get online, as after coming across other such articles, this one seems to be far better than those.
Your prompt and positive anticipation in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation
Sincere Regards

Hi Theroadislong! I have recently uploaded a draft of the article "Admitad" here and you have declined it. Could you kindly explain what can I do to make it right? Is it possible to work with you as my mentor on the draft? Or, maybe, you can help with writing, could you kindly tell me what is the best option?
admitad is a global company, it already helps over 630,000 people worldwide. I believe, that it needs to be on Wikipedia.

Images/Imágenes
Hi! As Images/Imágenes stated I am being paid to edit this page, but I am also working on this program as it is a work in progress. It was on the aire for over 30 years and pulled off in 2011. We are currently working on starting the project again but as this program began in the 70's there is not a large online presence. Is there anyway this page could be published for now, so we can show people that Images/Imágenes is coming back? Thanks, Alice
I have a lot of information from the Executive Producer but since none of it is available online, I cannot reference it. For example: (None of this is available online) Mission Images/Imágenes is a multi- Emmy award-winning television program series that creates, chronicles, and promotes the varied rich diverse history, culture, and life experiences of Hispanic/Latino communities in the state of New Jersey and the nation. Brief Organizational History For 46 years, the Images/Imágenes television series provided a voice and platform for New Jersey's diverse Latino population. The program series is known as the longest-running Latino community program in the history of PBS. Over the decades, the Emmy award winning series featured thought provoking round table discussions, interviews, profiles, documentaries and special topic episodes on the most prevalent issues pertaining to and for the Hispanic/Latino populations – the fastest growing demographic in New Jersey. Program topics ranged from lifestyles, business, education, legal matters, community affairs, pop culture/entertainment, the arts, sports and the health and sciences. Images/Imagenes was launched on January 6, 1972 than titled “Mi Casa Su Casa” on NJPTV hosted by producer, Diego Castellanos. The program made history as the first Latino television series on Public Television in New Jersey to air across the Garden State and surged as the nation’s number one market in New York and the number 4 market in Philadelphia. Since then the series is recognized as a resource for top Latino stories, both at local, as well as the national level. Award Winning Producer William Sánchez is the Producer/Director of Images/Imágenes since 1972, and is currently revitalizing a new series as its producer/director at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. He produced the series with the PBS NJ Television Network until the station was dissolved by the state on June 30, 2011. Within the first ten years Images/Imágenes became the leading contributor of programs for the PBS Series Presente hosted by Rita Moreno. Images/Imágenes competed with mainstream networks and was selected over ABC World News Tonight at the National Unity Awards in St. Louis. Then it rose to the top of the Latino Broadcasting Media when it was highlighted at the San Antonio Film Festival in the 1980s as a must see series on Latin Music alongside the films “LA BAMBA” and “STAND AND DELIVER.” National Recognition
For over 40 years, Images/Imágenes under the leadership of producer William Sanchez the television industry has recognized the series with four Emmys and nominated for twenty by National PBS. The series is distinguished having received numerous national acclaims from the White House, Congress, National PBS, the National Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), and three New Jersey Governors. The series represented PBS in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. It was distributed by the Department of Defense and with audiences including American military bases around the world. It was also national under the Latino Consortium’s series “PRESENTE” with host Rita Moreno. Now under the banner of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Images/Imagenes’ legacy continues for public viewing at the United States Library of Congress. Signature Shows There are a number of evergreen programs that were signature shows for the series and are timeless works of history and culture. A. Sembrando El Futuro/Seeding the Future (5-part Parent Education Series) Nationally acclaimed/ New York Emmy Award Winner 1985 B.

DRAFT:Summation Formula List Decline
Ok, I took your advice and added my material back onto the wiki page on summation. You watch how long it takes D Lazarus to delete it and post his own rambling notes. His notes don't transition well for sentence-to-sentence; paragraph-to-paragraph, nor make any sense; Some of what he posts really is not related to closed form summation. Roger
Dixon Algebra submission.
I have followed your instructions and I think I have successfully updated the references to conform to wiki practices.
Historical notes: • I begsn working on this topic some 40 years ago; • Periodically the algebra has cropped up in the works of others; • Most of this activity has occurred in the last 8 years; • John Baez was the first to call the algebra the Dixon algebra; • This became somewhat solidified when the Quanta Mag and Wired articles appeared; • I recently saw a blog in which the blog's author said there is no wikipedia page for the Dixon algebra yet; • So I decided to start one.
Cheers, Geoffrey Dixon

FYI: Ashley has been adding photos to Commons and then inserting those photos into various articles in preparation for her intention to create an article about her grandfather, Virgil Williams. I left a note on her Talk to declare paid or COI if she proceeds with the attempt. (Evidence for intention is creation and then deletion of a draft in her Sandbox.) The quail hunting photo you deleted was there because Virgil owns the land that was name-mentioned in the image caption. David notMD (talk)

Hi
I think Draft:PyCM is good enough to be accepted. This article provides some reliable references like Journal of open source software and Github (the most popular community of software developers) and etc. In comparison with other accepted open-source software articles like Aika_(software), Renjin , UIMA , BigDL, Cantera_(software) that most of them are self-cited. And also this library with more than 640 stars, 200 dependant codes and 1000 installs per week, is more popular than currently available articles on English Wikipedia like ELKI, Cantera_(software), OpenNN. Any suggestion is gratefully welcomed to improve this draft.
Thank you for your consideration.

Jorgen Odegard decline
Hey Theroadislong!
Hope all is well. I happen to notice a decline for Jorgen Odegard’s wiki page which is totally okay because I’m very new to creating wiki pages. My goal is to improve and help songwriters and producers’ lifes with publishing & management company by creating sources of all their music credit and praises as this is one of the most useful tools publishing companies use to determine their qualifications for sessions, pub deals, and so much more! Also as you mentioned, the information on the producer is lacking and scattered all over the internet, which is why this wiki page is super important for a lot of these producers and songwriters.
That being said, would love your thoughts and suggestions that’ll help this process. To give you an idea, I used Sarah Aarons as a reference who’s another songwriter with a similar amount of credibility as jorgen in this industry. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Aarons Again, would love your input! Thanks so much

Hi Theroadislong,
thanks for reviewing.
I'm confused again. A number of different people rejected my article on different basis (StraussInTheHouse, Mjs1991, SamHolt6).
This is the first time it's rejected on the "This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia." basis. StraussInTheHouse Reviewer noted: "Potentially notable, but we need more WP:SECONDARY sources."
I really went and checked ALL Python Web Frameworks Published on Wikipedia and have no idea how is my article different than any other? This is a nerve breaking procedure, I do not think anyone deserves this with helping to Open Source community and absolutely free software. Can you please help with advice?

Hello Thereodislong,
Thank you for reviewing my entry for Eric Lefcowitz. As per your suggestion I have included more references to interviews with Lefcowitz discussing his work and recent coverage of his business ventures which are, indeed, newsworthy. I also fixed typos you pointed out.
I think the citations and references now displayed are more than ample now. They include the New York Times, the Washington Post, the New Yorker, Newsday, NPR, MTV, VH1, PR and two ISBNs for notable books.

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019
Hello Theroadislong,
- Backlog
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
- Coordinator
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
- This month's refresher course
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
- Deletion tags
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
- Paid editing
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
- Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
- Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
- Not English
- A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
- Tools
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.
