Association for Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics
Dear Flat Out, thanks for your suggestions. I've reviewed the article about the AOPT association. Please, look up about the following issues.

This article uses bare URLs for citations, which may be threatened by link rot. (August 2013) The most important references are related to peer-reviewed journal articles.
 * Please read WP:LINKROT''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   03:54, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for companies and organizations. (August 2013) I understand your doubts, but AOPT association is an important and known organization that disseminates, along with ARVO (Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology), scientific knowledge in the field of ocular pharmacology. Moreover the JOPT journal is peer-reviewed and indexed at NCBI, MEDLINE, Scopus and so on.
 * Chiarapchim, pLease review WP:CORP and the criteria included there for notability, and tgell me how this organisation meets those guidelines. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   03:54, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2013) Please find out the new references added.
 * Please read WP:CORPDEPTH for the type of independent references that are required ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   03:54, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. (August 2013). Several wikipedia articles have been linked to the article about AOPT.

Okta Logue article
Hi Flat Out! I just managed to finish the page and submitted it to review. Thank you so much for the tips, the draft page has been a great help for me! Now, since there is a long waiting line for reviws, it says that it might take three weeks until my article is reviewed. What`s your experience with that? Does it really take this long? Also, is there a way to speed things up? Thanks for everything so far! AGW — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anotherghostwriter (talk • contribs) 09:33, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Anotherghostwriter, there isn't any way to speed things up but you can use this time to keep improving the article and improving your chances of having it accepted. I recommend you have a look at the manual of style as you have a few MOS issues to resolve. You will also need to review Notability_(bands) as I don't think you have met the notability requirements for a band, especially when it comes to Crterion 1. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   09:54, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Ok, i will provide more reference which should be no problem at all. as to criterion 1: The band has been on the biggest music platforms like Noisey, Filter Magazin, Spin.com, Rolling Stone, NME etc...their music is published via Sony Music the world`s largest label...i don´t understand why this is not reliable enough?
 * Anotherghostwriter, congratulations on having your first article accepted. A job well done. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   05:03, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Page for Professor Margaret Ross
Hi i'm creating a page for Professor Margaret Ross as part of the Ada Editathon to get more women in science listed. I've cleaned up the page now. Please have a look. I was copying my own page which someone else created. --CorneliaBoldyreff (talk) 12:22, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi CorneliaBoldyreff and welcome. Please have a look at the criteria in WP:PROF that need to be met for an academic, when you think you have met the notability standard let me know and I'll have another look. Best wishes, ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   12:33, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Flat Out! I have checked these criteria on WP:PROF and Margaret meets these. I would like to publish this today as we would like some results from our editathon. Best wishes, --CorneliaBoldyreff (talk) 12:41, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Iminoff Contest Deletion
Hello sir,

I am an avid fan of Iminoff and have been following him for the last few months. For some reason, the article was tagged as an autobiography. My name is Arthur Kaplan and I have bought a lot of Iminoff's tracks and follow his twitter and facebook. Please reinstate my article. I am having trouble with the proper citing format however. it's my first time. thank you, arthur — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iminoff (talk • contribs) 04:32, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

100% research
i gathered all of this information from Iminoff's official music page, press release social media sites, and others including itunes, amazon, google, etc. What is wrong with this? thanks, arthur — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iminoff (talk • contribs) 04:37, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Iminoff Articles are on wikipedia need to be support with references from reliable, independent sources. The article was deleted because it was information written without any references. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   10:10, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Tigerlily Taylor Contest Deletion
Dear sir, I'm having the same issue as Iminof: the article it is not about myself, I am just a fan, I have no contact with her nor her circle of family and friends. I run an unofficial fansite, that is it! Do not delete it just because YOU think I am her because that is not true (plus my username has a ".fans" thing). Please reinstate my article, it is not an autobiography. Thank you, I will be waiting for an answer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tigerlilytaylor.fans (talk • contribs) 10:04, 8 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Tigerlilytaylor.fans I don't have the power to delete the article. I have nominated it for deletion because it doesn't seem that the subject of the article is notable, it jas nothing to do with your connection to the subject. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   10:09, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: User:Worldkalari
Hello Flat Out. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:Worldkalari, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''Users can blank their user pages. They can ask for U1 themselves if they wish.''' Thank you. Alexf(talk) 11:58, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks Alexf, my mistake.. I forgot it was a userpage. cheers ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   11:59, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Alexf, the promotional material has been reinstated by the editor ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   12:04, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

References Problem - Iminoff
I added 6 website references where I gathered Iminoff's information from, but it has not shown up. Can you please let me know how to do it properly and I will readd it. Thank you, arthur

this help section didn't fix the problem and didn't help me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Cite_errors/Cite_error_refs_without_references — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iminoff (talk • contribs) 15:47, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Iminoff, there are a few issues that you need to overcome regarding this article. Wikipedia articles are summaries of what reliable and independent sources have to say about a subject. Information that is published by the subject (Iminoff) is not reliable and can't be used. Another issue is notability. There are a number of criteria that need to be met before a subject is deemed notable enough to have an article. Lastly, it appears that you are writing about yourself. Writing autobiographies is not encouraged as it is difficult to remain neutral. I have posted aon your talk page regarding the creation of autobiographies. Unless these issues are overcome, any article on Iminoff is unlikely to succeed. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   23:15, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

I know you made a good call with the speedy. That article has one foot in the grave, doesn't it? :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:44, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * G'day Anna, it's a joy as always to have you pop up on my talk page. I did a bit of a search on the subject of this article and didn't find any great references, so nominated for speedy. You don't need to let me know if you choose against speedy deletion I am happy to go with your sound judgement :) Best wishes ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   03:04, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Rules on interviewing subject?
Hi Flat out,

I have looked through the rules and procedures but couldn't find anything in relation to going to the source for information. I have emailed the source on the subject i'm currently working on with you and cited that I got the source direct? is there anything else I should be adding? eg. Source person? Thanks Flat out, hope you're not too flat out:)Tenezledroitz (talk) 03:47, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

User notification re Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge
Hi Flat Out, I am notifying you as an editor who has participated in previous discussions on this topic (note the discussion is currently being held at Talk:Family_of_Catherine,_Duchess_of_Cambridge). We now have multiple reliable sources for the descent of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge from Edward IV. However, Virgosky has added sourced information which appears to contradict the finding (a typographical error according to Patrick Cracroft-Brennan) and repeatedly removes a sourced retraction of the same information which I subsequently added. The edit warring continues which is futile and harmful to Wikipedia. I would appreciate your help building consensus on the talk page in order to resolve the dispute. (Please note I know you only made one comment but it is important for me not to be selective about who I notify.) Helen  Online  10:05, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
