Sean P. Jackson

Hello, I noticed that you denied my draft from being published again Draft:SeanP.Jackson. The reason being that my subject is not "notable" enough and that references are not speaking directly to my subject however all is quite the contrary. In fact, I've noticed that there are other pages of individuals who are LESS notable than my subject (ex.: Madison Gesiotto) but have still been published. Can you please reconsider or allow for an additional review? Thank you James Dobson (talk) 20:43, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Just because other stuff exists does not mean that your article meets the notability criteria for Wikipedia. Thanks for bringing that other article to my attention. I will make sure it is deleted as well. You are welcome to check with another reviewer, but I don't know if you will get a different result. Bkissin (talk) 20:47, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

The table was not going to become a whole separate article, just part of it. I tried to add it before, but I failed. Tigerdude9 (talk) 00:53, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

No worries man. Did it work when you tried again? If not, we might be able to create it as a template and put it in the article that way. Bkissin (talk) 00:54, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

New Article suggestion: Ingrid Volkmer

Dear Bkissin,

Thanks for reviewing this proposed article in the past. I have rewritten it in a manner that I believe meet's WP's standards. If you would care to take a look it would be much appreciated.

My Fruiticulture submission

9-7-18

My Fruiticulture submission was rejected because you wrote: "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Pomology instead." 

Fruiticulture is a new term. Times are changing and advances are being made in agriculture. Pomology is not synonymous with the new term Fruiticulture. The emerging term Fruiticulture means "a form of vegan permaculture agroforestry that focuses on fruit growing. This is not exactly Pomomology. Please allow the advancement of the lexicon by allowing this new definition of Fruiticulture.

Emma's Revolution, now with more sources

Hello Bkissin,

I added more sources to the proposed article on Emma's Revolution. New sources include an academic paper attesting to their importance, as well as a Washington Post article featuring them as part of a "new movement". This is in addition to the NPR All Things Considered piece focused on one of their songs, and the New York Times article already cited. These are reliable sources, and not trivial. Activist folk music cannot be judged by pop music commercial standards, but when Pete Seeger says they're important, that seems notable. Can you tell me if I should resubmit? Thank you for your help!

Declined Page – I’m with her (group)

Hello, I do not agree with your statement “Submission is about a musician or musical work not yet shown to meet notability guidelines (AFCH 0.9)”

Looking at notability guidelines criteria #6 “Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians…” you have to consider that the three members of the band already meet notability guidelines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Watkins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Jarosz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aoife_O%27Donovan

Even if there are more arguments to consider the group 'notable' I think this may be enough, if not please kindly specify better your refuse! If you agree with me please reconsider the page.

Crypto Spam

Hi Bkissin. You recently declined my Wikipedia page submission titled "VeriCoin" with the comment "More cryptospam". Could you elaborate more on how I can improve my article to get it accepted? If you are only rejecting my submission because it is a cryptocurrency, then can you explain why other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Vertcoin, Peercoin, and others, are allowed to have their own Wikipedia page? Thanks.

On Internet of Elephants

Thank you for reviewing my draft. Can you suggest how I can improve this article? The pointers you can share with me will surely help. Again, thank you.Gmli82164 (talk) 22:29, 18 October 2018 (UTC)Gmli82164

(by talk reader) @Gmli82164: First, it's ad speak. It reeks of promotion with phrases like "major objective is to produce a robust connection between people and animals" and "Gautam spent 20 years accomplishing IT projects". I can only assume you have a conflict of interest in this regard. Secondly, why do we care he "lives with his wife in Nairobi, Kenya and spends his free time with elephants and gibbons, playing tennis, ice hockey, and piano"?? That's copied word-for-word from thnk.org and doesn't add anything about the subject of the article. This is obvious advertisement. Finally, there's no claim of notability. Please wait until The New York Times writes about this. Chris Troutman (talk) 22:39, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
This is not to argue with you, OK? I'm stating my reasons here on why I wrote such statements then if its possible that you tell me how it can be improved:
  1. "major objective is to produce a robust connection between people and animals" - this is what the organization intends to do, shouldnt it be included?
  2. Conflict of interest issue -- I dont know this person and my decision to write about his organization is purely out of fascination to their goals
  3. why do we care he "lives with his wife in Nairobi, Kenya and spends his free time with elephants and gibbons, playing tennis, ice hockey, and piano"?? -- yes I agree that where he lives or what he does with his spare time have nothing to do with the subject matter but the statement was written under the heading "Founder," I was giving information to the reader not just on 'who' started the organization but also the kind of person he is. Do you think that's also unnecessary?Gmli82164 (talk) 23:01, 18 October 2018 (UTC)GMLI82164
Yes, it's unnecessary. The article is about the organization, not the founder. It needs to stay on topic. Bkissin (talk) 23:48, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Draft Declined: Blue Star Line

Matthew.dimasi.offical (talk) 13:58, 22 October 2018 (UTC) You declined my draft for Blue Star Line Australia Pty Ltd when a page for Blue Star Line does not exist, your reference to it already existing on the Titanic II page is somewhat incorrect, while yes Blue Star Line information is available on their, it is a specific section of it and that section is Titanic II. If Blue Star Line begin other operations in the future not related to Titanic II then the Titanic II page will not report on it meaning a seperate page for all Blue Star Line activity is needed. I would ask if you could please re review my draft and either not decline it or give me something I can add which will make it valid for offical publishing.

Hello Bkissin, thank you for your feedback.

Village of Romeoville, IL

Hello Bkissin. You recently rejected my submission for the Village of Romeoville. I know this page already exists, but I was instructed that I needed to make changes as a draft and then have them approved. This is the only way I know how to draft. My goal is to remove the current information on the Romeoville page under similar headings and update it with this new information. What do I need to do to make this happen? Thank you Romeoville.mark (talk) 15:40, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

OK, I guess I kinda understand what's going on now. For the census information, since it's sourced directly from the Census Bureau, you should be able to add that to the article. Look at how the information from the 2000 census is written and try to incorporate the information that way. With the list of Mayors, I'd hold on to that until you have sources for all of them. I would probably avoid adding most of the Awards section, as it comes off way to promotional and there's already a conflict of interest and paid editing going on. If you wanted, you could add the Atlas Integrated source to the article, referencing it right next to the sentence talking about the award. In the future, to have your information reviewed on an article that already exists, I would suggest reaching out to another user, like you did with John from Idegon and SuperMarioMan to have them review your work. I hope that helps. Bkissin (talk) 15:58, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. I have made the updates to the article you approved above. How do I reach out to a member specifically about reviewing edits I wish to make? Regarding the mayors, I'll have to go to the county and look at their records. Since that is not a web based set of data, what is the acceptable way to cite that? I feel like the moderators won't accept a traditional bibliographic citation. Thanks Romeoville.mark (talk) 18:36, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Draft: Heritage Saint-Norbert

I followed your suggestions and removed the "Timeline" section along with moving the "Features" and "Historical Buildings" information to the St. Norbert, Winnipeg article. As to your question regarding if Heritage Saint-Norbert is related to St. Norbert Provincial Heritage Park, they are completely separate organisations. Lastly, the focus of the article was intended to be of the organisation itself, so that's the reason why I have now moved the "Features" and "Historical Buildings" to the St. Norbert, Winnipeg article. Is that all that you were after? Unfortunately, if I am required to improve other areas, I might not be able to for a few weeks/months as I created this during summer and now school is hitting back hard. Thanks!

Brendan Jamal Thornton Rejected Draft

Hi- I recently attempted to publish a Wikipedia page about an Academic. My understanding of the feedback was that there needed to be more reviews that highlighted the notoriety of Dr. Thornton, is that correct? I modeled the page after several other academic's pages am and struggling to understand the differences. Would the following sources satisfy the comment of articles specifically about the academic? https://www.blogs.hss.ed.ac.uk/anthrocybib/2018/10/15/negotiating-respect-book-review/#more-3941 http://upf.com/book.asp?id=9780813061689 http://readingreligion.org/books/negotiating-respect

The article is bellow for reference:

"Brendan Jamal Thornton (born February 29, 1980, Ann Arbor, Michigan) is an anthropologist and assistant professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA.[1] He is the author of the book Negotiating Respect: Pentecostalism, Masculinity and the Politics of Spiritual Authority which was awarded the 2017 Barbara T. Christian Literary Award.[2] His primary areas of academic research and publishing concern the anthropology of religion, gender studies, and cultural identity in Latin America and the Caribbean.[3] His work has been published in Anthropological Quarterly[4] and Religion[5].

Thornton received a BA from Michigan State University in 2002 and an M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of California, San Diego, in 2011.

Hello ICaronT! Let's take a look at the guidelines for professors in Wikipedia and see if Dr. Thornton qualifies: Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable. Academics/professors meeting none of these conditions may still be notable if they meet the conditions of WP:BIO or other notability criteria, and the merits of an article on the academic/professor will depend largely on the extent to which it is verifiable. Before applying these criteria, see the General notes and Specific criteria notes sections, which follow.

1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.
2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the IEEE).[1]
4. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.
5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon).
6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.
7. The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.
8. The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area.
9. The person is in a field of literature (e.g., writer or poet) or the fine arts (e.g., musician, composer, artist), and meets the standards for notability in that art, such as WP:CREATIVE or WP:MUSIC.

I'm not really seeing where he fits on that list. Bkissin (talk) 15:57, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bkissin - I believe he fits both #1 and #2 on that list as his book and research have been sighted as being substantially new to the field of research "Breaks new ground by virtue of its thorough exploration of the ongoing negotiations of Pentecostal masculine identities." [2];"This focus on masculinity reveals new insights on the role of Pentecostalism in the lives of poor, urban male converts in a field that typically focuses on how Pentecostalism benefits women."[3] his work as part of a new movement in analyzing the male gender roles in religion "Until recently, however, most anthropological studies of religion ignored the question of masculinity per se, overlooking not only how masculinity transforms religion, but also the transformative role of religion for "men as men,"2 despite scholars' broad general agreement that ideas about masculinity and femininity are usually co-constructed, and that, no less than women, "men have gender, too.""[4]. He fulfills the #2 category as he was named a 2017 winner of the Barbara Christian Prize for the BEST book in the Humanities [5]. There have been academics with pages posted that have fewer awards, nominations, or secondary sourced commentary on their work.

Wilson Wetzel

I moved the article on Wetzel back to draft space, but hope that it can go back into article space within 48 hours. It has two problems. First, the AFC comments about the election and the acceptance of the article were not stripped out, and are still in the article. Second, the article has verb tense problems reflecting that it was written before the second-round final election. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:30, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

I agree with the move. Definitely needs cleanup, but I figured some of that could be done in mainspace. Didn't realize that those AfC comments had transferred over. Bkissin (talk) 20:32, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Clarifying musician notability for resubmission

Hi there, I noticed you declined my submission of this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Simon_Balthazar

However, I can see from the Wikipedia's guide on notability in music that the subject fulfills several of the points that would make the article qualify. Do the references need to specifically clarify this? The music has been released on a major label, the subject has been a guest on major TV shows, the music has been awarded a gold disk in the US and it has also been featured in several major movies. I didn't create specific references to back these things up - should I do that and resubmit? Or let me know what would be needed for the article to be approved.

Cheers!

Hei Bkissin!

Do you know if there is or has been anyone else trying to submit an article of the same subject or is currently creating a draft? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/TRON_(cryptocurrency)- Is this the reason why you are convinced that I am creating this article for promotional reasons?

Speedy deletion nomination of Isaac Du Toit

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Isaac Du Toit, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. signed, Rosguill talk 07:13, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

First of all, why can't Martha Speaks characters (MAJOR ONLY, not minor) have their own articles, and why can South Park characters have? If you say "Martha Speaks characters aren't notable", yeah right. I honestly don't think that's a good enough excuse. Why is South Park much more notable than Martha Speaks then? Give me the answer please.

I do not support the profane, dirty-minded, and evil characters of South Park being honored and given their own Wikipedia articles. It is not funny. How does a child who poked Paris Hilton's vagina deserve a page on Wikipedia and lots of honor? This logic doesn't make any sense. South Park is pure evil. We need to protect our children and future generation from this trash. I am not insane!

The South Park articles are heavily sourced by reliable secondary sources in national publications, whereas the articles you have created for Martha Speaks are sourced from TVTropes (not exactly a reliable source), the PBS website (which is not independent of the subject at hand), Barnes and Noble, and Answers.com. The characters of South Park are internationally recognizable, as opposed to the characters of your PBS show. I'm sorry you don't think that's a good enough excuse. As for the "dirty-minded, profane and evil" of the South Park characters, I'm sorry you feel that way as well. There's nothing I can do about that. I don't see them "being honored" as you put it, as the articles have not been given featured article status. If you are upset about profane content on Wikipedia, you don't have to come to the website. Additionally, if you are upset about your articles being declined (and they will continue to be declined), there are two different Wiki fan-sites for Martha Speaks fans, here and here. Finally, "I am not insane" is not a great thing to tell people to prove that you aren't insane. If you would still like to participate here at Wikipedia, you are more than welcome to. I suggest you read this article first. Bkissin (talk) 20:15, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
I am not autistic. I am a Christian who has Jesus as savior - and I must do this. God doesn't like South Park. Simple as that. Do what God says, because he gave many signs in the Bible showing what happens if you don't. 2407:7000:A269:8200:311A:496D:792F:6F9E (talk) 03:16, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
You sure you're not on the autistic spectrum? This site attracts people like that all the time, often obsessives over cartoon TV shows that no one else cares about. Often these users can't understand the social cues that what they want to happen is not going to happen, and continue to push for a different result until they are blocked from editing the site. Which reminds me, thank you for giving me another IP address to have blocked. Bkissin (talk) 14:20, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

question regarding Draft:Maybelline the Nudes Palette Campaign

Hi Bkissin, thanks for the feedback. I wanted to ask re the draft that I am writing, whether something still discussing the same subject matter could be submitted, but with less emphasis on the product features itself, so it would not read like an advertisement for the product. The majority of the sources used are from marketing related forums, discussing the components of the campaign itself. I personally feel that the article is important because it describes a modern, multiplatform marketing campaign that combined both social media, Youtube and traditional platforms to market a product, and that was supposed to be the emphasis of the article. Is it possible I could alter the article to make the focus on the campaign, and not the product (because that was not what I intended) and in effect, have the article valid for move to the mainspace? I understand where you come from, however, in terms of how this could probably be interpreted as an advertisement.

Thanks,

4K Ultra HD Blu-ray list

Dear Bkissin,

Thank you for taking an interest in my attempt at a new article. I'm sorry that you don't think it suitable for Wikipedia. I offered it up because I couldn't find an alphabetical index of 4K discs elsewhere, and I imagined that fellow collectors might find such a list a more convenient resource for seeing what's available than the slow-loading, disorderly listings on retail websites. I hoped that Wikipedia's editing options would also allow other collectors to add new titles to the list as they were released, keeping it nicely current. If Wikipedia can find room for a list of Elvis Presley albums, can it really not host a list of 4K Blu-rays too? To me, Wikipedia's elasticity, accessibility and scope for updating make it the ideal platform for my little idea. But whether I've persuaded you or not, thank you again for taking the time to think about my suggestion.

With best wishes,

North Point School for Boys

Hi! What with the copyvio, the inappropriate use of affiliated refs and the apparent COI, I thought it best to move this one back to draft space and give the editor another chance; I hope you don't mind? The alternative (which I did consider) was AfD. This is just my opinion, but I'm going to give it anyway: for any school below high-school level, there needs to be significant independent coverage to justify even thinking of having a page; a private school is a commercial business and should meet the requirements of WP:NCORP.

Updates to Lewis Latimer House entry

Hi Bkissin, Thanks for your comment and sorry for the confusion. Yes, I was trying to update the Lewis Latimer House entry, not create a new entry. I was asked by my supervisor to make the edits first in Sandbox before publishing to make sure the formatting was correct. Is there a preferred way to make submissions if I edit other entries in the future?

We were hoping to update this entry from being a "stub" to a regular entry, so if you have any feedback on that, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you, Cjedlicka18 (talk) 18:25, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate the effort Cjedlicka18! As far as I can see the formatting looks great. You should be able to just copy and paste what you have in your sandbox (or, now in Draft:Lewis H. Latimer House) and paste it into the existing article. I'll go ahead and decline the draft version I created, but don't take that personal. If an article already exists, we don't want to create a duplicate! :)
Are you working for someone and getting paid to edit Wikipedia? If so, I'd ask that you read our policy on that. Otherwise, in terms of editing other entries in the future, if an article already exists for the topic, I would say you should be able to make changes directly to that article. If you are creating a new article, then I would say work on it in your sandbox and when you are ready to have a reviewer look at it and determine whether it is ready for Wikipedia, then submit it. Reach out to me, the Teahouse or any other spot for new editors if you have any other questions. Bkissin (talk) 18:34, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bkissin, Thanks for the guidance! I made the edits directly in the existing entry. Just so you know, I am a volunteer with Queens Library, so I am not paid for my work.

Speedy Deletion of Leslie Joy Whitehead, an article you approved at AfC

Reasons for declining my article

Hi

You have declined my article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Columban_Catholic_Art_Calendar

Can you elaborate on your reason? Sources cited are not independent of the subject — Preceding unsigned comment added by Servi.abraham (talk • contribs) 22:13, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

The only source that you have cited in your article about the Columban Catholic Art Calendar comes from the Columban Mission Society. When we talk about Wikipedia:Identifying and using independent sources, we have a variety of reasons. First is to establish a neutral point of view. A source that is not connected to the Church has the ability to be more objective and (hopefully) isn't going to just be an advertisement for the Calendar itself. Of course the Mission Society thinks that this calendar is important; it's one of their major sources of income! Think about this rule when we look at your article:


Does the calendar meet any of those requirements?

I hope that clarifies things for you. Bkissin (talk) 01:18, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

CryptoAsset

Hello,

I understand you denied my submission of CryptoAsset and would like you to reconsider.

A Cryptoasset is not the same as a digital asset the same way a cryptocurrency is not the same as a digital currency. If anything, a cryptoasset is under the broader digital asset umbrella.

Cryptoassets are the natural evolution of cryptocurrencies and there are enough mentions to it on Google to make a differentiation to digital assets. For example, nobody in the "crypto" community would refer to Ethereum-issued tokens as digital assets, but as cryptoassets.

Xfinity Mobile Article

Hi Bkissin,

I saw that the Xfinity Mobile article was rejected and wanted to provide more context and hopes that you’ll reconsider.

Reason for rejection: The content already exists on the Xfinity Wikipedia page (parent company) and /Xfinity_Mobile redirects to that parent company's page. Being that Xfinity Mobile is a subsidiary, I believe that it should qualify for its own Wikipedia article, separate from the parent company. The company information, including the info box, would better serve people with a dedicated page.

Hello Bkissin,

You didn't approve my article on the grounds that it already exists in the form of Economic effects of Brexit. While the articles are similar, I do not see a section in the Economic effects of Brexit article regarding businesses which have taken direct action as a result of Brexit, which instead focuses more on speculation and commentary.
