Hatch bell foundry
Hi, thanks for assessing this article. I'm intrigued that it merits a "C", as I'm not sure there's anything out there to be added to the article, particularly given that the foundry is only known to have existed for less than 100 years, several hundred years ago. Any pointers to what's missing would be gratefully received! Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 14:51, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
 * When I assess an article, I only assess up to "C" because it would take someone who has spent more time with the article than me to make the "mostly complete and without major problems" determination of "B" class or higher. In other words, if you see me assess an article at "C", please interpret it as "class is at least a "C"—anything higher requires thoughtful review by someone else".  Also, when I set out on my "bulk assessment" task back in June of 2014, I vowed to never contest an assessment after the fact, and I have stuck to this through the approximately 50 articles that editors have contested (that I have noticed) out of thousands assessed.  If you feel the article warrants a "B" or "A" rating, feel free to change it.  Given all that, if you're still looking for inspiration as to what content could be added for any company-related article, I'd suggest reviewing Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Companies/Guidelines.

 * Great, thanks for the response – that's absolutely fine, and I've no intention of contesting anything, I really was just intrigued. It was the first article of its type that I'd attempted, and at the time I didn't see an awful lot about bellfounders on WP that I wanted to emulate. I've tended to take an interest in very few articles but then work on them quite intensively, so I have no clue about assessing, beyond the criteria that are there for all to see. I'm more interested in getting an article to GA than worrying about an interim assessment, I just thought I'd ask in case you had any specific thoughts. Thanks for the tip, and keep up the good work.

International Hat Company article quality assessment
DanielPenfield, thank you for taking the time to fully read and critically analyze this article in your individual review. I would appreciate your input in terms of why this article was given a C-classification instead of a B-classification, in terms of which of the following areas, in your individual review, demonstrably failed (B1 or B2): If you could kindly provide this information, I would very much appreciate it. I've put in over 400 edits and 3 years of research into the article so I don't want to have a conflict of interest in individually grading this article myself. But I have worked really hard on it and am trying to improve the article quality the best I can within the limits of what research material remains of a 25 year defunct private company. I have even been in contact with military helmet experts, such as Peter Suciu, with researching secondary sources for the article and some of the things in the article they were not aware of themselves; so as far as criteria B2 goes, I feel that might be important to keep in mind with B2. But I feel the assessment specifics would be useful in further evaluation of the article, so thank you. (Belshay (talk) 17:59, 27 March 2016 (UTC))
 * B1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points have appropriate inline citations.
 * B2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies.
 * B3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content.
 * B4. It is free from major grammatical errors.
 * B5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams
 * When I assess an article, I only assess up to "C" because it would take someone who has spent more time with the article than me to make the "mostly complete and without major problems" (B2) determination of "B" class or higher. In other words, if you see me assess an article at "C", please interpret it as "class is at least a "C"—anything higher requires thoughtful review by someone else".  Also, when I set out on my "bulk assessment" task back in June of 2014, I vowed to never contest an assessment after the fact, and I have stuck to this through the approximately 50 articles that editors have contested (that I have noticed) out of thousands assessed.  If you feel the article warrants a "B" or "A" rating, feel free to change it.  Given all that, if you're still looking for inspiration as to what content could be added for any company-related article, I'd suggest reviewing Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Companies/Guidelines. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 02:59, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi DanielPenfield, thank you kindly for your note and your analysis. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.  I have requested outside assessment from other members of wiki:companies than myself but it can be a pretty sparse participation compared to some other projects.  But, anyway, it is helpful knowing that you go up to C and don't take the individual review process further.  In the mean time, I will continue working on the article.  Thanks (Belshay (talk) 03:43, 28 March 2016 (UTC))

Importance of CCM
Hi, following your lowering of the importance of Customer Communications Management I've restored it to Mid: I think your claim which sounds like personal opinion is no justification for Low. You are welcome to discuss that on the talk page in question. Cheers, VonBlinkendenzwoelf (talk) 11:42, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Emilio Delgado
Your recent edit to talk:Emilio Delgado has an edit summary saying that it added a wikiproject, but it one of the results is that it dropped WikiProject Oregon. Is that intentional? —EncMstr (talk) 08:03, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * According to the article in its current form, Delgado's only connection to Oregon is that he once performed at a concert hall and a zoo there, so I assumed it was an error. If WP:WikiProject Oregon also includes anyone who has ever put on a show in the state, I'd never stand in the way of them doing that. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 08:35, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I suspect being associated with Pink Martini—a Portland, Oregon band—is the basis of the Oregon adoption. Probably Pete knows more since he added the tag in 2009.
 * No, it appears it's because the article was in Category:People from Ashland, Oregon back in 2009 (see ), but was removed from that category in 2013. I believe the "best practice" is to leave an HTML comment next to the wikiproject when the connection between the article and a wikiproject is unclear, so that's what I've done. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 06:35, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Help with MDC Partners?
Hi there! Earlier this summer a major update for advertising holding company MDC Partners' article that I researched and wrote. I posted the draft to the Talk page, and it has been partially implemented, but the editor I was working with has not been back to discuss the rest of the changes. I'm reaching out to see if you'd be interested in reviewing because you are listed as a member of Wikiproject Marketing & Advertising. As a full disclosure, I have a financial conflict of interest and created the draft on behalf of MDC Partners (though I aimed to remain neutral and used independent sourcing). I won't make changes myself and am very open to feedback! Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 21:10, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
