Dear Rankersbo - sorry I am very new to this (so hope i am answering your query in the right way as well - not sure!) - I am sorry I delete the templates from Charles R. Conn submission - I am afraid I don't know how I did this so thank you for spotting it! Your advice is very much appreciated as I attempt to get my first Wikipedia article approved, it is quite a challenge! (Babettet (talk) 10:32, 15 January 2014 (UTC))

Clarification on guidelines
Hi Rankersbo,

You have rejected my article on Sense forth stating there are no independent sources. Both the sources listed are leading independent online magazines about Indian startups having no financial or other relation to the topic. Could you please clarify why you think they are not independent?

Ritz7286 (talk) 09:21, 14 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry I didn't spot those. the references were overlooked because there were only two of them buried at the bottom, and because the article is overloaded with external links. The reflinks code picks up no reference, so that section looks empty. I will correct the advice on the page, sorry. Rankersbo (talk) 09:27, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Rankersbo, No need for apologies, I should have marked the references correctly. Do let me know if you need me to make any changes to the article. Thanks for reviewing this.

Ritz7286 (talk) 11:17, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Rankersbo, thanks for your comments. These are blogs but not personal blogs. They are widely followed online magazines. I agree none of them have a physical form or are a newspaper, but I believe that should not be a requirement for notability or being independent source. Moreover I have see these sites as references for numerous approved articles about indian startups. Anyway, its your decision. Thanks for your review.

Ritz7286 (talk) 12:10, 14 January 2014 (UTC)


 * If you're confident the references are the best you can find I can reset the article to try again, but I'll have to leave it to someone else to accept. Rankersbo (talk) 20:55, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing that I left the AFC template on that article. The AFC helper script doesn't work on old browsers so I closed the AFC by hand, and I didn't notice my error. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 14:24, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Courtney Ruiz
Either something is wrong with the system or (more likely) I don't understand how it works. I deleted a mainspace copy of this article, found that an unsubmitted AfC version also existed like this, tweaked it so that it displayed properly like this, with header saying "It is not currently pending review", and advised the author to work on it and submit when ready. That was yesterday, and she hasn't edited since; today I got a decline message from you.

What puzzles me is:
 * How did you come to treat it as submitted?
 * Why did the notification come to me rather than the original author?

Rather than pass a discouraging rejection message on to the author for something she has not submitted, I have reset it to an "unsubmitted" state. You might check that I have done that right. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:35, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, I can explain your first point, at least. Look at the bottom of the article in the diff you quoted: there's another AfC tag that was still active, so that's how it was still in the queue. Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 22:24, 8 December 2013 (UTC)


 * JohnCD- The article had the code in the section hidden by the broken tag. When you fixed the tag, it activated this code and submitted the article- in your name. So then I see an article with two AfC boxes. It's normal for there to still be a draft box at the top when someone has submitted the article, so that's how come I treated it as submittedf. Rankersbo (talk) 22:31, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks, I understand now. She did click "Submit" with her second edit, but it was masked by the faulty /ref tag, and I didn't see it after I fixed that. I think I will leave it in the "unsubmitted" state, though (unless that will confuse the system?) because I have given her advice on that basis. Cheers, JohnCD (talk) 22:53, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
 * @Having looked at it and had a think, I think leaving it as a draft and writing a note on the talk page would be better than just submitting the article as the editor intended, and acting accordingly. Rankersbo (talk) 09:05, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, OK, I see, you have that covered. Rankersbo (talk) 09:08, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Weekend over and this is now dealt with, as far as I can tell. I am a 3rd party with respect to this issue, not an antagonist. Both the parties in this have gone quiet so I'll leave it as dealt with, and flag it straight up on the appropriate notice boards if there appears to be any resumption of hostilities.

Service Recovery
Dear Rankersbo thank you for your feedback. I am new here and I think I tried to create a new page, because I could not find "service recovery" on wikipedia. The reason was that the page service recovery only had a "Redirect" to "service recovery paradox". Hence, I improved the following site and so far, it is still online. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_recovery

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Aviation Times
Hello Rankersbo,

I would like to ask about the declined page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Aviation Times ‎ - reliable 3rd party sources on the creator have been posted to  prove the person's profesionalism in the area - that is one of the possible ways as well, as I understand. Please respond and assist with the issue. Thank You Very much. Peto.figi (talk) 14:33, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Can you try to answer me, please? Thank You Peto.figi (talk) 09:03, 6 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Please don't nag, I am a volunteer just like you are. It would help if you provided a link to the article in question, you didn'tand I got dristracted by other things before I could do the non-trivial task of tracking it down. I mainly maintain round here, so I'm not a good person to ask, you are more likely to get an article cleaned up or declined than commented on by me. Rankersbo (talk) 12:28, 6 February 2014 (UTC)


 * You say 3rd party sources were added, but I checked and no sources were added since the article was last declined, only the template. Rankersbo (talk) 12:48, 6 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry if you think I was nagging, I was not, just thought you missed the request, as far as posting a link, I though using the brackets works as a link. As far as 3rd party sources I mentioned - They were added indeed, but since they were not English and are there to provide proof of expertise on the Person that is CEO and a creator of the article, not necessarily soemthing quotable, I did not know how to integrate it into reflist. Those were the links in the references, I'll provide a link to make it quicker. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Aviation_Times&action=edit&section=4 . Please do not feel irritated, I am trying to be honest and nice and do as much as I can to help myself. Thank You. Peto.figi (talk) 09:03, 10 February 2014 (UTC)


 * The sources that are there were on the article when it was previously declined. No further sources have been added since then. I am not clear on how evidence of the CEO of aviation times's expertise is supposed to prove the publication is notable. They are about her, not the publication. Rankersbo (talk) 09:12, 10 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, OK, I thought this is what proving somebody is a professional in the area meant. /as a possible source/ I guess I was wrong. OK then, thank you very much for your effort, have a nice day Peto.figi (talk) 14:33, 10 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I would love to be able to help, but mentoring is not my strong suit, and I honestly don't have a good enough grasp of what you think you should be doing in order to put you on the right track. To prove Aviation Times is notable, you need to link to articles in reliable sources (newspapers, etc) talking about Aviation Times. You don't need to prove the credentials of the company's CEO. You have never been asked to prove that ant person is a specialist in any area. Rankersbo (talk) 14:55, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Article
Dear Rankersbo,

could you please take a look at Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Nicola_Pfund(Yes). I have improved the article and I think (I hope :-) that it can be ok. The author is in fact well known in Switzerland for his travel books (especially cycling -> “Sui passi in bicicletta - Swiss Alpine passes by bicycle (English version)http://www4.ti.ch/fileadmin/DECS/DS/Rivista_scuola_ticinese/ST_n.311/ST_311_Sui_passi_in_bicicletta.pdf, very interesting because it contains specific information on the geography and history of the Swiss mountains) and his blog ("selected among the seven biggest blogger in Switzerland”); he is fairly well known as a sport journalist http://triathletaperpassione.blogspot.ch/2013/09/spirig-tre-sport-e-un-bebe-intervista.html an interview with Olympic triathlon champion London 2012). Lastly, he has already a page in fr.wiki.

Hello and good day, Rankersbo.

I deleted all references to Linkedin profiles since you mentioned that it is not a 100% trusted resource and I agree on that with you. But what did you mean by saying "The site of velosure iteslef is not indepdenent." ? Velosure INC is just a business entity name (proof of registration is linked to sunbiz.org which is Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations) that is DBA (doing business as) Velosurance, with Velosurance being the topic of the article. I am new to wikipedia and would appreciate any guidance from you. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mvlasova (talk • contribs) 17:23, 29 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, take a look at WP:GNG, WP:42 and WP:IRS. Articles need multiple sources that are reliable and independent of the subject. The subject's own website is not independent. I mean sure, it should be in there, at the bottom, but it doesn't prove the business is notable. Rankersbo (talk) 19:21, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, Rankersbo. I revised the article and removed references to techrunch and other social sites, which do not meet Wikipedia's trust criterias. I removed reference the the independent site of Velosurance itself(thanks for explaining). Could you please take another look at it?

I also noticed that this article about another tech startup, AppSumo -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppSumo, however, is full of references to blogs and social sites too, but is approved. Are their online communities more trustworthy then ours(like http://mtbr.com, http://slowtwitch.com and http://bikerumor.com that are one of the most respected sites in bicycling industry and have unpaid reviews of Velosurance as well as Independent mention in Insurance Journal http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/southeast/2013/12/12/314297.htm ) or did the rules change recently?

But should I do something more to get this article published or I just need to wait patiently? ;) Regards Magda Rogoz (talk • contribs) 08:37, 4 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, no that's confusing. I haven't reviewed it at all, what I did was tidy it up ready for review and check there wasn't anything obviously bad about it. I'm like the AfC handyman, I mainly fix things up.
 * Next step is to wait for the actual Afc reviewer to check it over and give you feedback. If you think of improvements you could make in the meantime, go ahead it won't lose its place in the queue now you've submitted it. No suggestions here I'm afraid.

Per the Cheers Elephant article(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Cheers_Elephant), I am curious as to why it was rejected. I recall the rejection asking for notable sources, but I'm having trouble seeing what's inadequate as 6 independent sources were used.

Myself and AndrewRLM have taken time to put together all of the article's information with clear citations as I'm wondering what we could be doing better.

 * Sorry I didn't do the review on that one (I just did a clean-up and initial check before the review) so am not familiar with the article. For a band to be featured in wikipedia it needs to meet the criteria in this guide: Notability_(music), perhaps despite the refs the reviewer felt notability was not proved. Perhaps the reviewer felt the music blogs featured were not reliable sources, and did not count for inclusion under section 1. Rankersbo (talk) 07:56, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Review waiting
Hi, I not sure what this means or why those changes were made, but the stuff in that sandbox was not intended for WP:AFC; It was just stuff I was practicing on. For some reason a "review waiting" template has been added and I would like to get it removed. If you did it by mistake, then that's OK. Just please remove it or tell me how to remove it. If it's nothing that you did, and you know where I screwed up (which is highly probable), then I'd appreciate if you can tell me how to fix the mess I've created. Thanks in advance. - Marchjuly (talk) 10:49, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * It just dawned on me why that template is there. I believe it's because the template I submitted for approval is still under review. Sorry for any misunderstanding. - Marchjuly (talk) 11:07, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * You can't just submit part of a sandbox for review- the sandbox must contain one article or template when you add the AfC submission header. The article(s) on the page desperately need a lead section- as they stand a casual reader who stumbles over them will not understand what they are about. Rankersbo (talk) 16:19, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I didn't intentionally submit that for submission. None of the stuff in that sandbox is intended to be an article for submission, I was just practicing on using this template that I had later submitted for approval. The "review waiting" template was automatically added to it, which then got indirectly added to the stuff that was using that template in my sandbox. Just an honest misunderstanding. I should've removed the template from my sandbox after it had been submitted for approval. Sorry for any confusion. - Marchjuly (talk) 21:26, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! Human 10:55, 12 May 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hubertus Maria (talk • contribs)
 * Looks like someone else got there before me. Yes it is OK, but it's best to put the code on the page and get an admin to delete it completely so you can start over. Rankersbo (talk) 11:29, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Draft:Dune water
Hi Rankersbo, my problem with this submission is the strong focus on just one country and the lack of discussion from an international point of view. Just sharing. Best, gidonb (talk)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Rosalie Muller Wright Pakenham
I've restored this AfC which you deleted as G8,as subsidiary to the main page Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Rosalie Muller Wright Pakenham, which you (properly)  deleted as G13. It seems not to have been subsidiary, but rather the attempt to write the material in the proper place, and had a very recent edit. (to be sure, that edit was a decline on the basis of lacking inline citations, but it did have inline citations, just in a nonstandard but clear format, which is acceptable.) I think there's a high enough chance of notability that I will probably check, improve, and then accept the article.  DGG ( talk ) 01:05, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

WP:AFCHRW
Hi Rankersbo!

As you may be aware, for the past few months I've been working on a complete rewrite of the Articles for creation helper script. I've now reached a point where the new script is relatively stable. Since you're a highly active AfC reviewer (in fact, the most active user of the old helper script by my counts), I figured I'd reach out to you before further publicizing the script to ask you to give the new script a whirl in your day to day reviewing. Complete installation instructions are here (don't worry, it's not hard :) ), and I'll be happy to hear any and all feedback you have to offer! There's a "Give feedback" link visible on the main script panel, which you can click to easily give feedback without having to leave the page you're reviewing.

Thank you so much for taking time to look at this and help shape the future of AFCH and AfC!  Theopolisme ( talk )  22:17, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * That is scary [User:Theopolisme|Theopolisme]]- but probably because I mostly do clean ups and prep and very few actual reviews. I hope anyway! I'll take a look soon. Rankersbo (talk) 06:11, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Clarification regarding Julian drafts
Please see comment at Julian article. If you were reviewing a draft with three citations, you were not reviewing the draft most recently completed and submitted. The draft in question has 16 citations, an infobox, and sections (TOC). It is at the same location that you left your comment re: three citations (except at the Draft tab). I am not an Admin, or competent mover of wiki items. I am a content matter expert. I do not know how you were sent the wrong draft. Can you look to the actual Draft in question, and review your decision? Thank you. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 22:39, 23 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I am not an admin either, I just help out with small tasks. I have some idea how this mix-up occured, and will explain on Monday, as I have a trip out with my family arranged today. In the mean time the best I can do is reverse the decline, which does not relate to the version you intended to submit.Rankersbo (talk) 05:18, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * OK, I think there were two versions of the article, one on at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Paul Julian (Meteorologist), which you substantially improved, the other at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Paul Julian (Meteorologist). These submitions have now been merged. When you were working I think you treated the version at Wikipedia talk as the talk page of the article you were working on, and placed the submission template there, so it was that version that was submitted for review.

 * Thanks. I inherited the mess, and just came in to move the matter that had been pending too long, along.  Appreciate your quick response to this, and helping getting it on the right track. I will see to having it submitted again.  Have a look at this (esp. references)—it is one reason why I could not understand how the 16 refs and improvements to PRJ could not be enough .  Cheers, and thanks again.  Le Prof  Leprof 7272 (talk) 20:18, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
