Stealth Inc. 2 article disapproval.

Hi Timtrent

Thanks for reviewing the article. I was sad to see that the article got declined. However you raised some point which I want to answer.

It was mentioned in the note that I was knowingly or unknowing marketing the game which is uncalled for. I created the article because I see a lot of indie games not getting any page at wikipedia and I did it to improve wikipedia gaming coverage. I have contributed to few articles as of now still learning about various stuff. However I felt hurt when someone blame me for doing PR for some company which I don't even know.

You mentioned something about WP:N, I don't understand it correctly but giving a brief look I can say I have tried to cover reliable source from IGN, NintendoLife, Joystiq and various others to make it a reliable article. As for game popularity, the game is a sequel to a very popular indie game Stealth Bastard- thus I still think it deserve a page.

The third point you raised is "we require reference" - I have provide multiple ref. from IGN, NintendoLife, Joystiq. What else do you need?

I have also tried to keep the article clean and simple with proper named references and links. I am still not sure why it got rejected. I can still find wikipedia pages for many unreleased games/indies as well but not sure why this doesn't fit the bill.

Will be waiting for your response. I hope this is the right way to reply at talk pages since I am new, I am not sure if its ok.

Despite your assertions, my opinion of the draft remains unchanged. You need to work on it. You need to understand WP:N, and WP:RS. You have provided multiple poor references. Provide ones that pass WP:42 please.

Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. PLease make it possible to accept this one. Fiddle Faddle 09:03, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi

I am not sure what's your judgement of "solid reference" because from what I see IGN, Nintendolife and Joystiq are the quintessential gaming media for news maybe not for you. I am also baffled by the criteria of WP:N

because either that or the moderation seems hypocritical to me. I find game and half backed pages such as Caffeine (video_game), BlueStreak (video_game), Space Hulk: Deathwing - mostly one liner article approved but not this. Even games like Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem which has no info at all and I repeat no info at all, just 2s teaser and no news but probably that's more notable than a game with more news. Its fine because you are the boss but I think one should be more rational and practice they preach. I am completely fine with article not getting approved but what's baffling is the boatloads of one liner "game" article approved which are not even notable and new Ip. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shashpant (talk • contribs) 13:24, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

@Shashpant: WP:RSN will give you a definitive answer on your proposed references. Link to the draft and ask the precise question "IN this article are these considered reliable sources?" and quote with accuracy the source where you ask the question.

I understand your frustration with seeing other articles. We do not, ever, allow article A to be a precedent for article B. The rationale is that using a less perfect article as a precedent provides an increasingly steep slippery slope, and we head to Idiocracy. If you see a poor article you are at complete liberty to propose it for deletion, or to improve it.

I am not the boss. I am just a volunteer reviewer. Other reviewers will have their views, too. Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. I;d love to feel I can accept this one. I simply feel it needs the work.

I can see that you disagree, so asking for different eyes at the articles for creation help desk is wholly appropriate. Please do. Fiddle Faddle 14:09, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Siegfried Werners entry

Hello

We last communicated some 2 months ago. I'm trying to get an entry about my father-in-law, retired Surinamese diplomat Siegfried Werners, accepted, but don't so far have the necessary citations. It's proving ridiculously tricky trying to find acceptable substantiation for his erstwhile diplomatic positions, not least because the government archives of Suriname for the relevant period are either non-existent or poorly managed at best! And we're talking about posts he held some 30 years ago. Would a scanned letter from a government official do the job? Any further suggestions would be most gratefully received...

With thanks

@Peppler64: The challenge is that such a letter would prove that he exists, but not that he has notability. We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42.

  • Draft:Diameter signaling controller (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Thanks for your explanation of your concern. Interworking a function of a Diameter Signaling Controller (DSC), so removing it doesn’t make sense. I'm happy to link to the Diameter protocol article as a reference for this section, but a Diameter Signaling Controller routes Diameter protocol messages as its function, so I believe it does have relevance on this page. I'd like to resubmit the article for reconsideration. All external links have been converted to references as requested, but left the Wikilinks within the page. If those are also a problem, I can remove them as well.

Thank you!

Issues with Willong Megalithic Memorial Stones‎

I noticed that you accepted the AFC submission Willong Megalithic Memorial Stones‎ recently. Unfortunately, it appears that the article is a cut-n-paste from the cited source, which is a unreliable blog/website apparently run by the article creator User:Josan420. To make matters worse, the cited text is itself a copyvio of text from this travel blog post and this web article (which itself may be a copyvio from here, although at this point I stopped trying to keep track of who-copied-from-whom <sigh>).
In any case, I think the article needs to be speedied (though the subject does appear to be notable), but am running it by you in case I missed some crucial detail that may allow the text to be retained on wikipedia. Abecedare (talk) 21:31, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Jmschrei (talk) 20:57, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you need. This is for my boss. He is a director and all of the things I wrote about him are obviously true, I just don't know how to prove them according to wikipedia. I have never tried to create a wiki article before, I had no idea it would be so laborious. Let me try asking a different way, if you were trying to get this approved, what would you use as references to support what is written? I trust your judgement.

@Jmschrei: You are in a very awkward position. Since it is for your boss you have to get it right, but wikipedia will not let you do what he needs. Now, use Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL and Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL, and see what is available on the man.

Put very simply, a reference must discuss your boss. The source must be WP:RS, and it must be independent of him. But one major problem you will find is that, once it is accepted as an article, it will also be edited by anyone who wishes. If your boss has any indiscretions that he wishes had not happened then these are likely to appear in the eventual article assuming that references can be found.

@Jmschrei: From Wikipedia's perspective, no references = no notability = no article. If he is as prolific as the draft says then I doubt this will be a problem, however, but the rule is firm.

Only he will know if he has indiscretions. I don't mean to imply that he has, but I do know that articles act as magnets for those who will find them if they exist. Fiddle Faddle 21:12, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Just work slowly and steadily and start to enjoy the hunt for references.The major issue is that the gentleman is alive. We are far more stringent for citations for living folk.

Leaders should not get a SECOND CHANCE. Political leaders need to be replaced immediately with new leaders that must be vetted by a panel to weed out the potential for future inefficiencies.

Eradicating and quarantining the Political Second Chance Syndrome must be a top priority in any democracy to function properly. It is a direct matter of national security that leaders be accountable and efficient. Unaccountability leads to inefficiency that will then lead to corrupt political leaders that destroys the foundation of democracy.

• Faberger (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Namco Bandai Networks Europe Limited (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

At this stage I'm not asking specifically for a re-review. However, I'm more than puzzled by some of the reasons why my article was rejected and I'd appreciate some clarification on your comments in order to bring this forward.

In your first line you say 'The first paragraph says, broadly, "This was a non notable failed business" and then you go to a great deal of trouble to write a lot about the entity. I am perplexed.'. No, I never meant to say that, this is your own personal interpretation of it, and does not reflect the millions of people who're reading wiki articles every day. What are you perplexed about exactly? And where does it say it was a non notable business? what metrics are you referring to to say it's non notable? This was an entity in charge, exclusively of the parent company, of over 150 distribution channels in Europe, the Middle-East, Africa, South America and part of South East Asia, at a time when the parent company didn't make 'mobile gaming' a priority in its strategy. It is all the more important to report on it because of how the parent has changed strategy over the years and is now solely investing in mobile gaming. It is the perfect example of how business acumen and business development outside of Japan is managed by Japanese companies. Also, the main article for the parent company is extremely poor and doesn't add anything to Wikipedia as it is just a identity card of the company with a few lines and doesn't describe in any way on how it impacted on the industry and global popular culture, let alone the good and bad accomplishments it has under its belt.

The comment 'you go to a great deal of trouble to write a lot' is judgmental to say the list. OF COURSE I spent a lot of time to start this article! is it not how each one of your contributors should behave?

In your second line, you say 'European subsidiaries do not generally merit articles independent of the principal because they are the same business, yet in a different geographic region'. Now, this is entirely wrong and shows from your part a total disconnect and misunderstanding of Namco specifically and in general how Japanese businesses operate 'overseas'. Very often what Japanese companies call their 'overseas' businesses are often disconnected from the parent company, in terms of management, strategy, development and even financing. The fact they're called the same name doesn't imply that the parent company has anything to do with how the company develops, for better or worst, and this is EXACTLY what this article is meant to contribute: a truthful and non-judgmental report on how Japanese video games publishers have been operating since the 1970's outside of Japan. As the author, I can not report on other Japanese video game publishers but Namco, that's why this article is about NBNE and not video game publishing by Japanese companies from a broader point of view.

In your third line you say 'Many of the references are regurgitated press releases and PR material.' I am referring sources to add the precious sense of authenticity to the article, even for the smallest details. The aggregation of these materials is meant to reinforce the sense of a logic suite of actions (managerial, financial and strategic) during a verified timeline. Of course, if it's just a matter of following how these are taking shape in the article, then I'll revise them. Otherwise I don't see how I could make without them. If I were to write a book, I'll do exactly that, adding everything and anything (in a condensed manner) related to how this business evolved, and how its members went through 'a great deal of trouble' to make it work as the independent entity it was assigned to be by the parent company.

As for your last line 'PLease attend to tense, grammar and spelling. "Spinned" is not a word, as a simple spell check will tell you. We require the simple past tense, the perfect tense.'. I understand that point, but I'm more than perplexed (and here's why I am) on how other articles are reviewed given the great many spelling mistakes, inaccuracies and over-abundance of biases for one side or another. I should also add that your first word is written with two capitals (PLease) showing that you didn't do any spell check before sending me your message... illustrating that those of us with the best intentions (to add value as you said) can sometimes make even the most stupid mistakes.

Thanks for clarifying.

Faberger (talk) 00:37, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

@Faberger: Obviously you did not make any differences regarding Japanese businesses clear in the draft.

You still start by telling us that this business could not be notable because it achieved nothing. Writing a great screed about something that is not notable simply achieves a great screed about a non notable business. Your references do not verify notability.

Please read WP:PRIMARY with regard to the deployment of primary sources. MUltiple primary sources are multiple primary sources. We are not about sources for a magazine story, we only record facts in reliable sources, independent of the entity and about it.

We do not, ever, use other articles as precedent for an article, otherwise we would descend towards idiocracy. The other articles of which you speak need to be sorted out. It is not your best point that yours emulates something of poor quality.

Mine is one opinion. Other reviewers may differ in their views. Nothing is preventing you from resubmitting it unchanged. Fiddle Faddle 07:49, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing my initial draft on 17 Sep. I have taken some time redrafting noting the helpful comments you made. Could you please take another look?

I created the word based on what's going on in Bahamian Politics. So how do you want me to legitimize it when there will be no sources for it. I based it on the Prime Minister stating that he is a Prime Minister of Second Chances which is screwing up the entire country. He does not want to prosecute MP's for official corruption and other issues.

How do I defend this if it is not written any where. Do I use sources for other words that is in the definition like democracy, syndrome etc./ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tinkersingh123 (talk • contribs) 05:09, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Message from Juancescritor

Dear Timtrent

Thank you for your kind remarks, your quick response and your offer to assist. I am a Venezuelan author, Playwright and Director, but also with a special interest in Biographies since I believe not many people dedicate words to this subject. That is the reason for this article in Wikipedia I submitted some days ago, which I felt had mistakes and was, in a way, incomplete.

If possible, I would like to learn exactly when footnotes must be introduced in a sentence or phrase, so I can correct mine and submit it again for approval. Thank you again, and I am looking forward to your answer.

Warmest regards

Juancé --Juancescritor (talk) 14:34, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

@Juancescritor: Every fact you assert in a biography of a living person needs a citation. Now, some facts need no proof. These are ones that are unlikely to be challenged. Other facts need citations. What you need to do is to use the "Find sources"link in the pink box and see what references exist for her, and then see how these need to be incorporated into the draft. WP:REFB and WP:CITE are your friends here. Fiddle Faddle 20:44, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Timtrent,

I have made amendments to the page... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Duncan_McLean_(Video_Designer) - could you please let me know if these are enough for it to be approved? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.12.252.254 (talk) 13:01, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Without reviewing it in detail, no. What I can say is that you are working in the right direction with reviews. Please, however, make sure it is his work that is reviewed as well as the piece as a whole, because your draft is about the gentleman, not about generic pieces of work. I try not to re-review a draft because it creates a better outcome if a different pair of eyes reviews it each time.

Please continue to refine it while awaiting a reviewer's visit. Fiddle Faddle 14:12, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Derek Smith Television Producer

Hi Thank you for reviewing Derek Smith Television Producer. I'm not sure that I agree with your decision. The refs to Radio Times are listings, but all the others are reviews by television critics in local and national press. I can scan the articles that are referenced if necessary. I do think there should be no doubt of Derek's right to a Wikipedia listing. As one of the the most important and creative producers in the history of the BBC, it's overdue that he has a page. In the meantime, I'll expand the references as much as I can. I have a scrapbook of cuttings. Graham (grayderek55) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grayderek55 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

I strongly suggest you lose any refs to pure listings. All they show is that he exists. For the others, we need chapter, verse, and the title of the article. We need nothing scanned in, but we need to be able, for example, to see what the reference is from its title. A template such as {{cite news}} may be very helpful to you. The gentleman appears to be notable, but we have to prove it, and that is your challenge. Fiddle Faddle 14:57, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Many thanks for your introduction. Is it okay to include among my ref sources material printed in Ely Ensign itself? Or must ALL refs be independent? Scpj (talk) 19:49, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

@Scpj: The answer is that the sources, that is the references, must be about the periodical. We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. There are very limited circumstance where the periodical may refer to itself, and WP:PRIMARY is a good arbiter of when. In my view, which is not the only view, material printed within it only establishes the fact that it was printed. Such facts appear useless to verify its notability, though they may be interesting in the showing that something was printed. Fiddle Faddle 20:26, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Cover-More Insurance

Hi TimTrent.

I've spent a bit of time today in the IRC-Chat getting help to understand what was wrong with my citations.. I think I'm getting the problem now, particularly that you're needing further removed independent sources - Are you able to take a look and let me know if its on the right track? The guy helping in the chat room "HowiCus' suggested I post here to ensure I'm aligned to the issues you saw.

Anyway - would be great to get some more feedback - I've even removed references where the partners/associates make assertions!

Thanks,

I think you have improved the draft's citations greatly. It's a steep learning curve, isn't it? Now you are citing things about the org from independent coverage. You have one obvious issue remaining. An inline link at "EtiQa Takaful." That needs to become either a WIkilink (even a red one), or, if appropriate, a reference, or simply be unlinked. I also do not see the point, currently, of the section "Product Offerings" Fiddle Faddle 07:13, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for that - yes, its been a mammoth undertaking... I have definitely learned alot!

I've removed both the EtiQa Takaful link and the information on "product offerings'. - In relation to the EtiQa component, it was very weird because I couldn't get a true Wiki link - presumably because its Wikipedia Malaysian language... Hence why i tried that type of link. Anyway - I'm just as happy to leave it out. https://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETiQa_Takaful.

@GB at CoverMore: make sure you have resubmitted it, and await a review. SInce I've helped you a lot I feel I ought not to review it myself.

concensus anathema to truth

It is an interesting remark you make, on the nature of Wikipedia as a product of concensus, it bears directly upon the idea at the core of Atheist Science, which denies the existence of individuals, as in persons, and asserts the existence of a unified being, a human superorganism. Undoubtedly the individual who would oppose this natural force of human corporate nature, is destined for disappointment, as you rightly say. Nonetheless, we are raised to believe we are beings in our own right, and according to this ideal one might hope that an encyclopedia would serve the ideal we all subscribe to by seeking to counter the tendency for the information it contains to orbit around political authority, rather than truth, as forlorn a desire as this no doubt is. Concensus, needless to say, I hope, is anathema to truth.46.208.3.29 (talk) 12:09, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Good morning, I saw the review and was unclear about what seemed advertisial. All of the information was sourced from notable and independant sources- such as the INC 500 magazine and other business journals and magazines in which we were not responsible for creating or writing any of the content. I am not sure about what else to edit or add that wouldn't seem like an advertisiment for the company. Please advise- thank you for your help.

The combination of the text and the references is typical of an advert, or of the use of WIkipedia as an advert. The two that I can link to do not impress. one is simply an entry in a list and the other is pretty much the same.

@ShulMaven:  Declined for the same reasons as before. I commend your enthusiasm, but not your attention to the stated problems on the declined draft.

Perhaps I sent the wrong link. At least, the link in your response is to an earlier version - before I added sources. The review in Library Journal is particularly persuasive, although the brief description by WGBH is validating. What I think has to be considered here is that this is a thinktank, it is validated by the judgment of major news organizations that cite it. I believe that this is the correct link [3]ShulMaven (talk) 21:54, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Basilio L. Sarmiento Biography editions

Hello Mr. trent,

The article I am trying to post about my father's biography (Basilio Sarmiento),edited in/for the English Wikipedia page actually can be found in the Dutch or German version of the Wikipedia.

Although the subject is printed in German, I tried to effect or do some changes to reflect a more accurate information on my father personal information but encountered difficulty! Not only because German language is foreign to me but also due to not being familiar on how Wikipedia works!

My impression from the denial response received was, I need to provide, cite /substantiate my sources for the article? In that regard, I did find some links showing or reflecting his works since I was told his book(s) of poems were used as textbook in the Philippines..

The following are links I found reflecting his works. Please advise if these will suffice your requirements. 1. http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001360144/Cite 2. http://www.worldcat.org/title/sagimsim-kalipunan-ng-mga-tula/oclc/20115442 3. http://opac.emc.hs.admu.edu.ph/bookinfo.asp?strSearch=&nType=1&nResourceID=1000011960 4. http://opac.emc.hs.admu.edu.ph/results.asp?key1=Basilio%20Sarmiento 5. http://books.google.com/books?id=sGvJv9n4ilIC&pg=PA40&lpg=PA40&dq=basilio+sarmiento&source=bl&ots=RjVq57yc-W&sig=yqZCR2aD_0SZzvB_WBmJHAGip6I&hl=en&sa=X&ei=bBBBVIbODM7BggSLq4HoAw&ved=0CDAQ6AEwBTgK#v=onepage&q=basilio%20sarmiento&f=false 6. http://books.google.com/books/about/Sagimsim_kalipunan_ng_mga_tula.html?id=PNRHAAAAMAAJ 7. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilio_Sarmiento

Question regarding meatpuppetry

Hi Timtrent,

You were very helpful before so allow me to bother you again. I was wondering if you could take a look at these three edits ([4], [5] and [6]) and tell me what you think when you have the time. I realize you're not an admin, but, based upon your experience as an editor, could this possibly be "meatpuppetry", or is it simply just a coincidence. If I should be taking this somewhere else, then please advise. Thanks in advance. - Marchjuly (talk) 05:28, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: To be fair, I have no idea. It could be the same editor via a variable IP address, or several editors. The final edit has some sort of sourcing. if it quotes the actor concerned that is pretty much primary sourcing and inadmissible, but the article is about a load of fictional characters anyway. You need to talk to someone from one of the Wikiprojects the article is part of. They will be more expert than I am i this field. Pick one only and ask on the project talk page whether the edit with the sources is valid. I suggest you ignore the potential puppetry part. Experienced editors will notice that anyway. Fiddle Faddle 08:34, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice Timtrent. I'm have no problem at all if the source is good as I posted at Talk:List of The Walking Dead (TV series) characters#Gareth. As for the other stuff, the posts just seemed a little unusual for me. - Marchjuly (talk) 11:45, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

@SusanCummins: I see excellent progress. There was such a lot to do that I am not surprised you missed a few things. I see two things for immediate improvement:

• You still have some inline links scattered throughout, such as " Professors Kurt Matzdorf " These must all be changed per my earlier comment or the review is likely to go against it next time, too
• Your references are really hard for me to check. Are there any press articles about the lady, too?

Found them, eventually. You have added them as inline links, not as citations. {{cite news}} will handle this for you.

This is my first article but want to do more in the future once I learn the ways of Wikipedia. Any help you can give me upgrading my article from Stub would be greatly appreciated! Susanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zach_Paxson Zach_Paxson 18:49, 23 October 2014 (UTC)Obrienboone (talk)

@Obrienboone: This article may be hard to make more than a stub for the medium term future. The gentleman is only borderline notable in our terms (as presented by you) because he has not done much and very few folk have written about him. I accepted the draft because of the Ohio song thing, and it was a toss of the coin for me about accepting vs pushing it back to you. The trite answer is to let the community do it, but, in truth, that fails unless someone is a Paxson enthusiast. Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL is a great place to start, modifying the searches if necessary. You need to embrace what the sources say about him, and to phrase it in your own words in the article, using the source as a reference. Before you do anything, read WP:REFB and WP:CITE, and polish your skills on inline citations.

Wikipedia:Stub has some information for you. We also have rules about references: For a living person we have a high standard of referencing. Every substantive fact you assert, especially one that is susceptible to potential challenge, requires a citation with a reference that is about them, and is independent of them, and is in WP:RS

Your route forward is to expand the article without adding fluff and clutter. Fiddle Faddle 19:10, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Interlude Page Review

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to review Interlude's page. I just have some questions about why the page was rejected. You mention that I treat it as notable in it's own right, and that references are about Interlude and not on the campaigns per se. In terms of reference, I included sources such as Fast Company, TechCrunch, Yahoo News, and TIME... so I'm not sure I understand the comment. Additionally, the page follows the format of other entries I've seen, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droga5. It would be extremely helpful if you could provide more detail on how I could improve the entry and have my submission approved.

@Deebs90: Thanks. Draft:Interlude (Interactive Video) it is. Ok. Now, form the article, INterlude doesn't seem to be particularly notable, but the campaigns may be the things that are. In fact you have the majority of the draft about the campaigns, and the company that created them takes a back seat. The campaigns are award winning, it seems, but the company appears not to be. Are you with me so far?

If so you may wonder how a campaign produced by an org can be notable but the org is not. And the answer is just that it can happen. Your challenge, of you want to show that INterlude is notable, is to find references for it. But the word is a common word, so search engines will fail you.

What you need is respected marketing and PR magazines writing about Interlude, not about the fantastic campaign on behalf of Foo.

Some refs that may be useful:

• Strangecow (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Emanuel Raymond Lewis (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The article on Emanuel Raymond Lewis was declined for "not (being) adequately supported by reliable sources."

Most of Dr. Lewis' accomplishments sited herein were document in the Congressional Record, as entered by Congressman Steny Hoyer, the current minority whip. Hoyer knew Dr. Lewis personally, calling him in the congressional records "a dear and good friend of mine for many, many years" and gave he gave the eulogy at Lewis' memorial service. The Congressional Record may not be filled with irrefutable fact, but it is at least official testimony by one of the most senior members of the house of representatives. Furthermore, Dr. Lewis worked in the and for the U.S. Congress, and his tenure in the House overlapped that of Hoyer for many years as its document librarian and researcher; Hoyer's testimony contains first-hand knowledge of Lewis.

A small part of the content, detailing his family relationships, was added from his obituary. I contacted his son and requested a photo.

The book Lewis wrote on Seacoast fortifications, is referenced by a link to the publisher's website. The Congressional Record document mentions other publications.

Wikipedia does not have a page describing the history of the the Congressional Librarian, which has now been placed under the Office of the Clerk. Thus, some things of interest about it were included.

• http://history.house.gov/HistoricalHighlight/Detail?id=36434 does not mention Lewis
• https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/2014/5/28/house-section/article/H4839-4 is about Lewis and qualifies as a reference
• http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/washingtonpost/obituary.aspx?pid=171392531 is about Lewis and qualifies as a reference

Hi Timtrent, You have just rejected (politely) my article on the National Development Programme in Computer Assisted Learning because it contains copyrighted material from edtechhistory.org.uk - since I am the author of edtechhistory.org.uk does this count to void the copyright problem? If not what is the best way for me to add to Wikipedia the material I am writing that I think ought to be there? Peter-ed-tech (talk) 14:49, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Peter-ed-tech (talk) 14:49, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

@Peter-ed-tech: Copyright issues often confuse those who assert that they own the copyright. Quite reasonably they wonder why their work is not acceptable. The answer is that we do not, currently, know that you are the author, and we do not know this because this is the internet and you could be anyone, though, probably, you are who you state you are. It's hard to say that without appearing to give offence. None is intended.

There are two solutions:

• Licence your own site (or selected pages on it) under a compatible licence that allows not only WIkipedia but other users to use your copyright material. Once so licenced this cannot be revoked. A bell cannot be unrung.
• Use the process in WP:Donating copyright material

Recognise that each of these routes allows your copyright material to be used by others, and for their own commercial purposes. Recognise, too, that your words own your own web site may not be the words that Wikipedia needs. You may be better advised to craft the relevant sections of a Wikipedia article in new words. We need "dull-but-worthy" and that may not be the same as your own site needs. Fiddle Faddle 17:15, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the response Timtrent. Think I will rewrite the article in a dull but worthy way so it is different copy to my website and resubmit - do you think this is sensible? Peter-ed-tech (talk) 18:20, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

@Peter-ed-tech: That is the approach I would recommend. I suggest you delete the copyright violations at once and rebuild at leisure. Make sure your text for Wikipedia cannot be viewed as a close paraphrase of your own site.

No need for a new section each time, as you can see. Loads to learn, is there not? Fiddle Faddle 18:25, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
