Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Young Hogs
Hi there Alex, and first I want to thank you for your work at AfC. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. Now, an editor came to the AfC help desk asking about the above article, and while I haven't commented there yet I just want to tell you that formatting is generally not a valid reason to decline an article. In this case the submission was nowhere near being accepted anyway (reference and promotional stuff), and not only is wikifying very minor but just saying "This is not in correct format" really doesn't help the submitter. In the future, please try not to use that as a decline reason unless the article is just so abysmally bad that it's unreadable (if there are other concerns, use those and if the article is good, fix the format yourself or leave a comment saying that you think it should be approved once another reviewer fixes it up). Cheers,  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  14:30, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * This has popped up at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Myron Orfield. Again, I appreciate your work but very minor formatting fixes and a lack of categories is not a reason to decline, just like they aren't a reason to AfD a real article. If you feel comfortable, please make those fixes yourself. If not, please don't review the article.  Nolelover   Talk · Contribs  22:40, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Notability of academics
Hi Alex,

Thank you for your work at Articles for Creation. However, when declining an article submission, please look for relevant notability guidelines first, for example WP:PROFESSOR before making a comment like this. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:01, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

New AfC article
You accepted Farouk Adatia for creation. Per WP:POLITICIAN, candidates are generally not notable. Also, Facebook cannot be used as a reference when talking about third parties. When the article was pushed to main space, it was tagged with 5 tags. I've noticed some other you created are also being tagged, have major copy edit problems, etc. Bgwhite (talk) 21:03, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Intent is to create a Article Stub
Re: My submission for "Willpower paradox" It is meant to be a stub at this point - I will improve on it later. In any case, isn't the article as good as Inventor's paradox?

Don't know if you are still around
Hi, I come here to leave a message to you mainly because I found out you were the creater of the page SAP HANA. This page was recently deleted by the community due to multiple reasons.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
