your review of Fred Federspiel's bio
I edited the draft to add a reference to an article in Wall Street Technology that is entirely about Fred Federspiel and his invention of a new block market design. I added a sentence to clarify why Federspiel's invention has played an important role in the evolution of market structure in the US, and therefore is "significant enough to deserve attention and be recorded", meeting one of the key Wikipedia guidelines on notability.

I examined the notability requirements more carefully, and I am optimistic that you will agree that with these last edits this living biography meets the bar - under the Creative Professionals guidelines, Federspiel is known for points 3,4, and to some extent also 2.

thank you! Henri — Preceding unsigned comment added by H waelbroeck (talk • contribs) 17:36, 1 May 2013 (UTC)


 * If you are confident that this meets notability guidelines now, please resubmit it and someone (maybe me, maybe someone else) will review it.--RadioFan (talk) 15:08, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Could you help me improve my article?
Hi RadioFan,

You recently reviewed my article about the International Federation on Ageing. Thank you for your feedback! I’d like to have your advice on how I can improve the article.

It is somewhat difficult to find sources where IFA is the primary subject, as this organization works as a ‘connector’ rather than a front-line organization, for example by helping governments to create programs for seniors. That’s why the sources describe us as partners and talk about IFA’s work rather than on the organization itself. To establish its notability, I included links to the UN org proving this organization is one of the few NGOs with consultative status with UN ECOSOC and WHO, I thought it would be the most credible and reliable sources.

Could you help me to move forward? I’m not really sure what other resources I could use. I’d really like to have this article published and I hope I’ll be able to do it with your help.

Thanks again!

Question about removing copied phrases
Hi RadioFan --

The page I created :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Amanda_Kyle_Williams

was declined in part because I copied data from another source. I did this with the intent of bringing all my refernces together in the draft phase and was not planning on using it. I promptly removed it when I realized that such things are flagged even before submission. I am wondering why my page was still declined (in part) on this basis?

 * As mentioned in the note declining the submission, there were 2 problems. The copied text and a lack of reliable sources.  Significant coverage in reliable 3rd party sources is required to demonstrate notability.--RadioFan (talk) 15:07, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I understand there is the second reason. I am asking why the first is still considered as a reason for declining when I thought I had resolved it by removing the offending material. GMacquart 17:39, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * If you've removed the sections you copied verbatim, then it will no longer be used as a criteria for accepting the article.--RadioFan (talk) 19:28, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay, thank you. GMacquart 21:19, 2 May 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gmacquart (talk • contribs)

how to proceed with my page
Hi Radio Fan

you declined my last page, and I edited again on adding some references there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/nysunworks But I don't know how to do next? Because when I first created the page, there was a " submit" click bottom, but after the second time editing, I can't find the submit bottom. Can I understand it no need to submit or something I don't understand about the system. My ultimate goal is make the article about " New York Sun Works" alive online.

Thanks for your explanation.

Why did you add International Brodacasting is not "a TV guide" in the Manual Guide of Television
Why did you add the prohibition of Internaional Networks airing the show? This is controversal. 99.229.41.79 (talk) 18:00, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

My article about the International Federation on Ageing
Hi RadioFan,

After your review of my article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/International_Federation_on_Ageing#International_Federation_on_Ageing), I looked for other references and added two press articles talking more directly of the organization's work. I have a couple of questions about your comment... About press releases, I had the same concern but I read on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_13#Is_a_press_release_a_RS.3F they were reliable sources. May I add that the press release I used as a reference is not from the organization but from the UN? I wanted to use it as a proof the organization has a representative in the UN Committee for Human Rights. Is that inappropriate? You also said "References where this organization is the primary subject of the article will help here". I read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#cite_ref-1 that "[the subject of the article] need not be the main topic of the source material". Did you mean the sources I used are only 'trivial mentions'? If you could please have a look at my article and tell me if it's ready to be resubmitted, or if not what I could improve, I'd be grateful. Thank you for your help!

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paddle8
Hello RadioFan,

I nominated Paddle8 for deletion. I saw that you both nominated the page CSD A7 and for PROD. I agree with you that Paddle8 should not be on Wikipedia. I hope you might want to explain why you think the page should be deleted at Articles for deletion/Paddle8. Thanks,

On what grounds exactly can this artist not have a wikipedia page. 4 major independent releases. Festival appearances at Leeds, Reading, Isle of Wight and Lovebox. Currently on tour. And publications about the artist in major national UK outlets.

John Koudounis Article
Hi RadioFan,

I submitted an article entitled "John Koudounis" who is the CEO of Mizuho Securities USA Inc. I noticed that Gordon Nixon is a similar corporate leader and has almost the same sources as the John Koudounis article. Aside from proper referencing, what is the reasoning why Gordon Nixon's page was approved and John Koudounis' was not?

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JimClaire (talk • contribs) 00:29, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:KOAQ logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:KOAQ logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:13, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Deleted article restored, biased editing - Help with COI
Hello,

I'm an employee of iXsystems, which develops FreeNAS. Recently you helped with a merge of another page, NAS4Free with the FreeNAS page. Recently we noticed that page had been restored, and that an anonymous editor was editing both of those pages, as well as the iXsystems page and a few others, in a way that indicated a conflict of interest and bias against FreeNAS. I was asked to find some way to address this issue, but I obviously have a conflict of interest on the issue as well, so I'm not sure how to proceed. I decided to contact you because you had participated in that merge and your user page indicates that you'd be willing to help inexperienced users. If there's someone else I should contact or a correct forum for managing this kind of issue which you'd rather I call on, please let me know.

Thank You, Bmilman (talk) 00:00, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of WKRP in Cincinnati episodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page WQXI (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
