License tagging for File:Reisfeld.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Reisfeld.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 09:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

Your question. --Levita.lev (talk) 10:18, 25 September 2009 (UTC) Dear all, I would like to wright the article about old Ukrainian teacher. I am not sure that she has enough of awards for Wikipedia's criteria. But she is extremely interesting person. What place at the Wikipedia area where I can submit this article? Thank you, Levita.lev (talk) 10:18, 25 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I suggest creating the article in a user subpage; for example, User:Levita.lev/sandbox or User:Levita.lev/Teacher's Name. When you think it is ready you can request that another editor look it over before it is moved into the encyclopaedia.


 * However, I would advise that you take a good look at WP:TEACHER for our notability guidelines for academics. Make sure you have reliable third party sources for the text (especially important in biographies of living people), so that the information can be verified and notability established.  Also, the article must be written from a neutral point of view - for instance, describing the subject as "interesting" would be a subjective opinion, and it would be better to simply state the facts and let readers decide what is interesting or not.


 * Please take your time to understand well the policies and guidelines I've linked above. I don't want you to waste your time writing an article that won't be accepted.  I know I've thrown a lot at you, but, as I have indicated, BLPs are probably the most sensitive area on Wikipedia, and it is important to ensure that articles are compliant.


 * If you need any further assistance, feel free to:
 * Leave a message on my talk page; or
 * Use another here; or
 * Talk to us live, with this or this.


 * Good luck, and happy editing! Regards, ∙  AJCham  (talk) 11:31, 25 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Dear AJCham,

Thanks for your kind help and recommendations. Levita.lev (talk) 19:47, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Luminescent solar concentrators
Thanks for your patience with the article. Some feedback:
 * Usually we title articles in the singular, although I noticed that Photovoltaics is plural?
 * need to fill out all information on each citation. I will do a few, for example, see cite journal for the format
 * most sources seem to come from the same group of authors. Are there others working on it?
 * along with above, avoid language like "our calculations show" and use third person instead.
 * similarly, phrase things in the past tense, since encyclopedia articles should be "timeless", not news items.
 * similar comments apply to Renata Reisfeld who seems the source of most material there
 * talk page does not need your name (that is in the history) but should have "projects" so I guessed some of those
 * articles should have a lead section that gives some context and overview in non-technical terms. [I made a step to this, but it needs to be reviewed to make sure my guesses got it right.]
 * Is "species" really the right word? In layman's term (to me) that means a plant or animal. Seems like that is used in papers in this field, but would prefer to say "substance" or something like that which would be less confusing.
 * Is "Stock efficiency" really the right term? I do see Sir George Stokes, 1st Baronet who has some terms named for him.
 * Only links that add information about the specific topic should be listed. For example, the "roadmap" from Uni-Solar does not mention this technology I could find.
 * The Concentrated photovoltaics article probably needs some citations about this.

Generally I think a broader overview is needed. Wikipedia is not a technical journal, but a general encyclopedia for lay readers. So for example I would be interested in history: it seems there was some interest in the 1980s, but no commercial attempts? Is it just a topic to keep researchers busy publishing academic papers (maybe some undiscussed proactical problem) or likely to be practical? W Nowicki (talk) 23:16, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Shalom. It looks like another editor might also be helping; Wikipedia is a collaborative process and despite its name (wiki means "fast" in the Hawaiian language) it takes time. As for Prof. Reisfeld, indeed the papers are in professionally reviewed publications so are very good sources. Even her talk slides and the Sol-Gel web site seem appropriate. The issue is that there should be other people around the world working in the area, and Wikipedia is supposed to be global. So for balance over time we need to make sure other efforts are not ignored.

One thing I did just now was separate out the extra journal papers from true "external links", which might help. Reliable sources that have more detail than used for sources in the article go into a "further reading" section. I will go ahead and remove the complaint banner at the top since I find those almost annoying. W Nowicki (talk) 16:19, 14 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Shalom uvraha leha. Thank you very much for your real help. I hope to continue work to improve the article in accordance with your recommendations. In particular, I will try to list the reference by more other authors. Also I would like to add "History" section as the Introduction and "Colorful and beautiful solar energy" section as the Conclusion with additional illustrations. I hope it will be less academic and more popular for various segments of readers. What do you think about this? I will try to make this work so fast (wiki :)) as possible. Best regards and Kol Tuv! Levita.lev (talk) 08:42, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes, although I hope your second part is not meant too literally. Wikipedia still needs to be written like an encyclopedia, just an acessible one. Our policy is not to be proscriptive nor to judge. Just give the facts in a neutral way. So saying something is "beautiful" would not be appropriate. One or two pictures are fine until the article gets too long, then add a third one perhaps. Maybe you could add some context to the picture like "in a 2011 laboratory" or whatever. It generally is OK to say something like "This approach was considered promising in 2011. ". Thanks for any contribution. W Nowicki (talk) 20:33, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Email
Hello Levita, I have more or less outlined what I hope will be a satisfactory basis for the LSC article. Please email me at jonrichfield@gmail.com so that I can send text to you for use or criticism instead of possibly trashing your article. Cheers, Jon JonRichfield (talk) 09:37, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Cover of the book "Luminescence Spectroscopy of Minerals and Materials".jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Cover of the book "Luminescence Spectroscopy of Minerals and Materials".jpg, which you've attributed to (Book Cover).
