College of Pilots of Canada

Hi there,

Just trying to see what I am doing wrong in the College of Pilots wiki article.

Any recommendations would be great ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.23.188.125 (talk) 23:54, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello 135.23.188.125 , not to be snarky, but since you a) aren't logged in under your account and b) didn't provide an actual link, I spent four minutes trying to find your article (which I do recall) before giving up. Please remember to log-in when posting Talk comments so that folks can see what account your questions are associated with, and to be able to consistently communicate with you (since when not logged in you don't see the notifications for messages sent to your account). And also whenever you mention a specific article on a Talk page, Helpdesk, etc., make sure you link the article. It's never easy when someone pops in and says "Hey I have problem about that one article about castes, can you help out?" rather than take the extra second to type Caste system of India. So please post log in and post a link, but since I'll be in and out you're best to ask at the AFC Helpdesk for quickest response. MatthewVanitas (talk) 13:34, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello

Hello, Why my page declined after many days ,but others accepted without real sources in few days instead i includ all sources ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belmadani Elmadani (talk • contribs) 08:42, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello Belmadani Elmadani , did you read the very specific description of the problem in the pink box at the top of your draft, particularly the link to our policy on inline citations? That should answer your question. Also, are you writing an article about yourself? If so, please read WP:Autobiography for why this is a bad idea. MatthewVanitas (talk) 13:43, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Please be logical , is not an article of me written by myself ,the artist is very busy doesn't time to write it and i'm looking for his page here ,more anyone can't write on wikipedia by himself because there are references written by editors,Ok ,i'll correct references like you advice , then i'll see .Thank you ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belmadani Elmadani (talk • contribs) 16:49, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Fine, but you do need to clearly WP:Footnote the article since Bemadani is alive and needs to have a precisely correct biography. And that means we need some media sources that discuss his career and impact, not just a dozen links which mention that he has paintings in Gallery X and Gallery Y. We need WP:Substantive discussion of him.
Also a concern, you've uploaded a number of images of his paintings to Wikimedia Commons. You are aware that being on Wikimedia Commons, with the licensing you accepted, means that anyone can use that image for much anything. That includes people using it for free in commercial works, so according to what you posted on Wikimedia Commons, the author (and again, you state here that your username is not the author, but on Wikimedia Commons you claim you username as the author and grantor of permission) that means someone could use those paintings as background for, say, a Coca Cola advertisement, and not owe Belmadani any money for using it. Is that what you actually wanted, and/or is Belmadani aware of your stating that he has granted permission for that? I would strongly suggest you clarify that.

Hi again

Thank you for your help so far. As suggested, we will work on the edits over the next few days and resubmit. This article is to be the forerunner of a small book I am writing. Best wishes Lyn Watts

Hi Article was declined as was not referenced. I added references and think I hit resubmit button but now I cannot access the article at all - it seems to have vanished! Where did it go and did I, in fact, resubmit? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lyn Watts (talk • contribs) 09:47, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello, the reason things "disappeared" was that your foontnote coding wasn't quite right, so the program was attempting to jam the entire article within a footnote. To avoid this, be very careful that every "ref" tag at the beginning of a footnote has a corresponding "/ref" tag (/ meaning "close" in computer-code). If not, you get a never-ending foonote that confounds the page.
Next, your Resubmit did work, it's just due to coding issues the new yellow boxes pop up at the bottom of the page rather and stay there for hours/days before being moved to top. It's a silly programming quirk, and it'll eventually get resolved, but it's annoying now and not the novices' fault in the slightest. I've moved it to top for you.
The article has a few things that are going to need some work, but taking one thing at a time here is your list of priorities:
  • Add clear WP:Lead section, see my comments by your first paragraph. A strong lede is a requisite for a good article
  • So far as references, for an article this non-controversial you can probably just list your refs at the bottom rather than footnoting them to specific paragraphs, so I'll fix that for you. If you later write about a topic where people may debate sourcing, or about a living person where we must carefully avoid libel, then for those you must ensure that for each sentence or paragraph you write that it ends with an explicit footnote, telling the reader "If you doubt that John Smith was sent to jail for fraud in 1998, here is the specific title and date of the New York Times article which verifies such". But 19th century clergy is niche enough that I don't think it's a big problem, though in the future it never hurts to footnote, just for precision.
  • Next, please divide the article into WP:Sections, using the coding like so "==Early life==". When a double or triple "=" occurs at the very start of a line, that lets WP know it's a section title. Just make sure to close with a corresponding "==" lest the code think everything following is all a subtitle.
  • After that, please add WP:Wikilinks to key terms in the article. Only wikilink a word on its first occurrence (i.e. not a score of Exmoor links down the page). Also be selective about which terms bear explaining; there's no need to wikilink horse since 99% of readers know what that is, but Shetland pony is a technical term that readers may want to know more about, or even just see a picture, so it's worth linking.
  • When we get all that finished up, we need to dry the tone up a little. WP articles are very neutral and factual, and leave opining to the reader. So we don't say "tragic death" we just say "death", both for concision as well as to leave it to the reader to form an opinion vice spoon-feed them a "feel bad about this" indication. Similarly, a "!" has no place in an encyclopedia, nor does "Interesting to note", "Strangely enough", etc. since we leave it to the reader to decide if a given fact is interesting or thrilling.
I hope this doesn't look an intimidating list. The article is doing pretty well so far, so if you just put another hour or so into it over the course of the next few days, you should be good to go once a Reviewer gets to it. And we're knocking out a lot of the backlog, so it shouldn't be too long a wait. MatthewVanitas (talk) 14:04, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

East Sheen Primay School

Dear MatthewVanitas,

I looked at the criteria for school notability, and I believe that East Sheen Primary School does warrant its own page on Wikipedia.

As it says on the criteria for schools: For elementary/primary and middle schools, reliable secondary sources are usually too limited for notability. An exception is made for schools having a specific, notable distinction or status (e.g., the Blue Ribbon Schools Program in the U.S. and Beacon School, Training school, or 'Grade 1' outstanding Office for Standards in Education overall assessment in the UK).

East Sheen Primary is indeed rated Grade 1 (outstanding) OFSTED. I have edited the page to make this clear, and have added links to media coverage of the school.

How to make New page for Wiki Links?

Thanks for your help with adding internal Wiki Links, they all seem to be working fine now, but how do I get them to open in a new page?--Lincolnspencer (talk) 22:38, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Where did i go wrong and how to correct?

Hey User:MatthewVanitas ,thanks for all the support you have been giving me in developing the article Gopichand Lagadapati and also helping me in learning how to write a good article.You are just like a good teacher who we can't stop thinking for making us learn from our mistakes.Regarding your suggestion to delete revisions in article i copy pasted ## db-self ## as you have mentioned. I have copy pasted the code in most of the articles which i thought i don't need them. I realized later wiki article is using the draft where i pasted the code to be a current version.So i selected last 4 versions of the edits & saved them .I liked your edit and really wanted to be shown in the main article section and unfortunately the name got replaced as i saved your draft and i don't want it to happen ..I want the credit to be in your name for giving the best edit and suggestion..How do i undo to get your name in history revision..Really i want my readers to know how you have contributed.Please consider my request and make a change as i want every reader to know your contribution.Happened by mistake and am really sorry.Thanks for your contribution..Your are my master and i salute you...Love and peace Rock.C.Mathew — Preceding unsigned comment added by Astrangers heart (talk • contribs) 02:48, 12 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello Astrangers heart, I checked the History tab for Gopichand Lagadapati, and note that if you hit the "show 500 more" option down at bottom, then you can see my edits in the History. You just can't see them at first because you've made a lot of edits since then. Speaking of which, you're making a ton of very small edits and then saving. Please instead use the "preview" button if you're going to be making a lot of small changes, because otherwise the History gets full of dozens of different versions of the article, with only a few letters changed. So if you're editing the article for 30 minutes, maybe just hit "Save" two or three times in the process, but when you just want to "see if I coded it right" you can hit "Preview". Two more small things: don't forget to provide an WP:Edit summary (little box beneath your edit window), every time you hit Save. Even if it's just "typo", "fix spelling", "rmv error" or whatnot, at least it gives other editors some idea of what you're changing without having to dig into all the comparisons. And secondly, don't forget to sign your posts on Talk pages. Good work on the article, I hope to see more from you on topics you're enthused about, and it should be much easier now that you've learned the process. MatthewVanitas (talk) 13:41, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello User:MatthewVanitas,Thanks for quick reply.I think i have missed the procedure some where. You gave me a code dbself to delete the old revision .I pasted it on the top of page and saved it.The old revision for which i placed speedy deletion request took over actual article. I placed the deletion code on all revisions and they started taking over one other and started showing as latest updated article which altogether became messy.I thought that code would automatically delete unwanted revisions from history so i did not write any summary.Now its disappointing to me to see n number of my own articles in revision history..I strongly feel that there should be a delete button to erase old revision history. I am here with the plan of writing many articles but for now i am sad looking at revision history. I am happy that i learned some thing but at the same time disappointed that i can't keep a clean history but in some time very soon I will write.Thanks Matthew ..Thanks for the support Astrangers heart (talk) 13:40, 13 October 2013 (GMT)

Article Help - College of Pilots of Canada

Hi there,

I was looking for some guidance on where I could improve my article, and perhaps why it was not being allowed. I am quite new to the whole process and could use some help. The article was The College of Professional Pilots of Canada(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_College_of_Professional_Pilots_of_Canada)

Thanks,

Hello, again as recommended in the pink review box I posted (please do read the comments in those, they tend to answer 90% of any questions), you have not demonstrated technical WP:Notability. That is, you have not proven that a number of journalists or academics have found CPC worth commenting on. A basic sum-up of the rule is:


For an explanation of the title of this page, see The answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Articles require significant coverage

in reliable sources

that are independent of the subject.
Looking at your current draft, you have not provided anything meeting the above. You have two footnotes to a new article from years before the group was formed (so no "significant coverage" of CPC), and then links to CPC's own webiste (not an independent source). You don't actually need the CBC source, because it doesn't mention your subject at all, so having a footnote for it misleadingly implies that the CBC article has coverage of the CPC.
Bluntly spoken, part of WP:Notability is "if you can't prove that some journalist or academic has found the subject worth writing about, then Wikipedia does not find the subject worth writing about." Are there some vitally important subjects out there that lack the coverage they deserve? Sure, but we have to draw a line somewhere, and our line is requiring evidence of existing coverage of the topic so that our readers can trace all facts back to a published and reputable source.

Page declined

Hello MatthewVanitas ,

I fixed errors and there is footnotes "references" why it's declined by another editor ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belmadani Elmadani (talk • contribs) 18:39, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Alabama Heritage

Matthew, I'm unsure why our page was denied. We added references as you requested. Our magazine's board members are still listed, though. Is there anything in particular that we are doing incorrectly? There are several Alabama Heritage authors on Wikipedia and it would be nice to have their references linked back to our page so folks know what our magazine is.

Appropriate titles

Why did you do this move to aggregative games instead of moving it to the singular aggregative game? Using an inappropriate title makes it necessary for others not only to move the article again later but then to fix the links to the article. Michael Hardy (talk) 16:28, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Issues Fixed? Resubmission Advice

Hi Matthew,

I recently submitted an article on “Primier Pizza” (now titled Premier Pizza 2) for review to be published on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, my submission was declined by yourself due to there already existing a page with a similar or same title. I was referred to the following link, in order that I could request additions and edits to the page, or otherwise contact its author.

Upon following the link I found that the previously existing article had been deleted by User:Sphilbrick due to the page being "abandoned" (I have since submitted my content to the abandoned page). Before doing this however, due to my wiki naivety and because the original page had been deleted, I simply fixed the coding issues and resubmitted my article "Premier Pizza (2)" for review, per available instructions. So I now have the same article pending review under the abandoned page "Premier Pizza" as well as the duplicate (my original submission) now titled "Premier Pizza 2".

As a new user this is a rather confusing situation to be in and I was wondering if there are any other (preferably expedited) resubmission or appeal processes I should be considering, or if there are any other potential issues which may impede the publication of this article (i.e. should I delete one of the submissions, fix anymore coding etc...).

Any help or advice you would be willing to offer would be greatly appreciated.

Best, Tyler Scott

P.S. I will also be sending a copy of this contact to User:Sphilbrick in hopes he may have some insight as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyler.tw. (talk • contribs) 18:35, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Matthew,

I understand you will be on vacation until December, I just wanted to consolidate some things for you to hopefully make the publication process easier on both of us. In addition to the editing I've done on the page here is the correspondence I have had with User:Sphilbrick in your absence (I realize you have been mentioned in it, so that this must be in your inbox. However, I find redundancy to be a good safety net.)

Greetings!

I recently ran into some interesting issues when attempting to post my first wikipedia article and was hoping you had some insights to share or advice to give. My article was declined due to it being a duplicate of a declined page you subsequently deleted for abandonment. I have since resubmitted my article under my original page as well as the page you deleted (I resubmitted the former before understanding the abandoned status of the latter) I believe this move may have confused the resubmission process or otherwise been a wikipedia faux pas.

I would greatly appreciate any help you would be willing to give. for more information and links to the pages in question please see the following correspondence I submitted to User:MatthewVanitas

Hmm, I'm not completely following the sequence. I have some thoughts, and will see if I can figure it out. Have a couple other things I need to check first and will return to in in an hour or so.--S Philbrick(Talk) 23:11, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Here's what the sequence looks like to me:

  1. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Premier Pizza Originally created 1 February (in user sandbox)
  2. Worked on and improved in February
  3. Moved from sandbox to AfC in March, then declined as not suitable for main space
  4. Abandoned with no edits between March and October
  5. Tagged as possible G13 due to lack of activity
  6. Deleted as G13 on 24 October
  7. Restored on 7 November. Not sure why
  8. On same day Premier Pizza (2) also created

The new version has more refs. I haven't looked closely at either, but suspect it is not yet ready for prime time. I think the best thing to do is:

  1. Have Tyler.tw. confirm that Premier Pizza (2) is the better version
  2. If so, and no one disagrees, I'll delete the original, MatthewVanitas will withdraw the objection on the basis of duplication, and Premier Pizza (2) will continue the process, with a renaming if and when ready for main space.

I urge Tyler.tw. to ask for advice at Wikipedia:Teahouse, as it is unlikely to survive without some work.

Is this OK with you MatthewVanitas? --S Philbrick(Talk) 00:43, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Sphilbick,
Thank you for the detailed response! I was hoping to have gotten some input from MatthewVanitas by now so we could continue to move forward. However, according to his page he is on :vacation until December 1st. I understand this will delay the plan of action you proposed for continuing my submission along the publication process. It may be just a matter of patience at this point, :however if you have any more advice on navigating this process I would love the help.
Also, I will definitely look into Wikipedia:Teahouse for further information, and would greatly appreciate any input you may have as to the content of my submission.

Anne Noggle

I had submitted an article on Anne Noggle a couple of years ago that was rejected because I had quoted from an unpublished source. I notice that WP now has an entry on Anne that is incomplete. Please direct me to where I can find out about editing the existing article. Thanks for the email that prompted me to think about the entry on Anne again.

Declined/recover

Hey Matthew

You declined my page - this is fine as i expected as much. Can i at least get the writing back to i can continue the joke elsewhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Farrell.matthew.s (talk • contribs) 00:57, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Probably not. If Wikipedia makes your text available again, that'd be a violation of policy since that would be de-facto re-releasing potentially libelous comments about someone. If you have a copy saved somewhere and want to put it up on Facebook or whatever, that's your call, but I'm pretty sure Wikipedia staff would consider unveiling your writing again to be a form of endorsing your prank. It may well be that your subject is totally cool with the joke article, but our fundamental rules require that we don't say anything about a living person unless it's documentably provable, since it could theoretically cause real-world harm to someone to allow incorrect info to be posted about them. For all we know, [your subject] could be extremely upset about such things being said about him, or it could cause his wife to become suspicious of him and storm out, or lord knows what. So we have no real reason to hook you up here, and no reason not to be totally extra-cautious about having any potentially misleading info about someone posted here, per our policy Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Hope this helps. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:33, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/ Store Front Museum

Hi, re this edit. It wasn't that the old draft did not delete - it was moved to article space correctly, but Citation bot (talk · contribs) then trashed the redirect. It actually happens quite a lot. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:10, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Article declined

hey Matthew, You recently reviewed my article "Olympic Taekwondo" and declined. You wrote that there was already an article with the same title, but when I clicked on the Link to the article that was supposed to be the existing one it lead me to my article on an other page for creation that already got deleted. So there is no other article with the same title or subject. Do I just resubmit? I'm afraid it will get deleted again.Nelelemke (talk) 05:30, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) This is rather complicated, because the page has been moved several times between namespaces, and not all the moves were accompanied by an appropriate cleanup, which led to other people making possibly the wrong decision about cleanup. I'll try to place the events in chronological order.
I have now partially reverted the last edit to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Olympic Taekwondo so it should now be reviewed properly. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:26, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Having some trouble with all the different namespaces^^ Nelelemke (talk) 05:17, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

A little guidance?

Matthew Vanitas -- Thanks for reviewing my submitted page on Ramon Ricker. I'd like to make some edits so that the page will meet Wikipedia's standards. I understand the page's problems have to do with footnoting. Can you give me one or two examples from the draft text that need to be footnoted? Then I could go through and either remove those sections or add the appropriate footnotes.

Thanks so much, Dennytripp (Chris Privett) Dennytripp (talk) 14:31, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
