YHWH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS ARTICLE
Sam the article that I submitted was not a duplicate. I wrote an article that was rejected because it was thought to not have enough original material, so I wrote another article and submitted it for review. The article that you referenced was not a duplicate, it was the original draft which was not under review. Please review the article submitted so that the correct edits and changes can be made.

Hi Sam, could you please reopen this AfD? I am finding that sock puppetry was involved in the voting (see Sockpuppet investigations/Mirrortoamermaid), and after you reopen it, I intend to alter some of the votes based on that finding. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:42, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * @Bbb23:  It's reopened. Looking forward to see the outcome. Ought I have noticed myself and stayed away from NACing it? -- Sam Sailor Talk! 10:18, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Sam. I'm not sure I expect the outcome to be different, but obviously the closer has to ignore the vote by one IP and the comment by the other. I don't think you could have been expected to notice the problem. Of course, it's always suspicious when IPs or new accounts come out of the woodwork and vote at AfD, but the most telling thing here was that one of the IPs altered the formatting of the master's vote, but I doubt that closers look at the AfD history unless they have good reason to do so.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:35, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Dear Sam,

If you have the time could you please look again at the Draft:A Young Man's Gash article? There are a lot more citations and references added.

Yours, York York Earwaker (talk) 00:00, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
 * @York Earwaker:  I looked at all sources (bar 1 web page that does not load and 1 Gbook that has no preview), and none provides significant coverage. I don't believe it meets WP:NALBUMS. It is unusual to create an article on a recording, when an article on the band, Gash (band), does not already exist. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 02:04, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Dear Sam, The story of Prog Rock is one off collaborations like this one. There is unlikely ever to be a article on the band Gash as the band disbanded after making this album, the only one they ever created. The album is the story of the band. Wikipedia will never have the story of Prog Rock without referencing lots of these one off productions. A similar one off would be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32yY39B1EsA Brave New World - Impressions on reading Aldous Huxley (1972) York Earwaker (talk) 23:37, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * @York Earwaker:  Dear York, I understand you, but you are up against the notability guidelines that have been developed by the community over the years to determine what can and what should not be included. If you follow WP:AfD over a period of time you'd be surprised to see who many song/single/album articles by more mainstream bands are being deleted or redirected because of lack of notability. Did you consider posting about the album on Progressive Rock Wiki? -- Sam Sailor Talk! 11:17, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Dear Sam, Many thanks for the steer to the Prog Rock Wiki. I'll use that going forward for this type of content. York Earwaker (talk) 22:10, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Request on 19:20:58, 27 February 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by DRnlhodges
Hi Sam! Thank you for the quick review. In response to your suggestions:

1. You recommended I remove ALL the publications from the 'references' section because there is a representative publications section. However, not ALL of the publications in the references section are in the representative publications section. Suggestions?

2. You wanted secondary sources. I've included two. One is a published interview with Dr. Bochner written by another prominent Communication Scholar. The other is Dr. Bochner's profile on Left Coast Press, the book publishing company which has published several of his books and book series. How do you suggest I include them? Also, he is written about and cited extensively in the 'autoethnography' Wikipedia page which I've linked on the page.

However, I strongly suggest adding a reference for the paragraph about his death and burial prior to the grave inscription.

Sedona Sky Academy - Copper Canyon Academy
Hello Sam Sailor, I am Msampson10, and I made significant changes to the Sedona Sky Academy wiki page. As you can tell, I am new to this. However, as their marketing manager, and in close communication with owners Tammy Behrmann, Darren Prince, and John Gordon of Family Help & Wellness, I was asked to set the record straight. I accept that I probably didn't follow wiki protocol to a tee, but I provided reliable sources to the facts and dates. In a nutshell, there's controversy surrounding now closed Copper Canyon Academy, and this same controversy attached itself to Sedona Sky Academy (despite new owners, new staff, and new program philosophy). Our mission is to clarify the differences and separation of the two facilities. So my question to you is, can you (or I) delete the old Copper Canyon Academy wiki page vs. just redirecting it to the Sedona Sky wiki page? Obviously we are desiring less affiliation with CCA, and the redirect keeps CCA and SSA connected. Thanks for your time. Msampson10 Msampson10 (talk) 16:57, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello Msampson10. I assume you turn to me because I reverted the blanking of the redirect from to Sedona Sky Academy. Thank you for being upfront with where you come from and what your goal is, hats off for that. It's a conflict of interest but I hope it can be dealt with gracefully; please give Best practices for editors with close associations a read.
 * To answer your question: the redirect Copper Canyon Academy would only be deleted after a discussion.
 * I've had a short read on Sedona Sky Academy and its editing history, and a very short search for reliable sources regarding the negative claims made about the institution under it's old name, Copper Canyon Academy. I think the best thing to do now is to get other editors involved in this matter. To accomplish that I will repost you message above on Talk:Sedona Sky Academy, and send a notice to users who have edited the article. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 10:55, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Sam, thanks for involving me. While I understand that something has changed, I do have COI concerns and it seems that some continuity was maintained between the institutions. I put a longer explanation on the article's talk page. Raymie (t • c) 16:30, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Raymie, I understand and share your concerns. I have added, , and to the article talk page. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 10:58, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you Sam Sailor and Raymie for your willingness to look at this issue. Obviously, I was unaware of the COI Best Practices when I edited SSA wiki page. I'm sorry for that.. However, as you can see, I avoided any "sales-speak" or embelishments and stuck to the facts with good citations. Hopefully, you will all take this into consideration. I intentionally left out slanderous, but factual comments regarding how Copper Canyon Academy was run to the ground under the ownership of Aspen/CRC Health. In the same way that they ran Island View Residential Treatment Center into the ground (reputation repair that is next on the docket for Family Help & Wellness). Sedona Sky Academy has diff ownership, diff mgmt, diff names, diff programming, mostly diff staff. One would find similarities in programming if you went down the street to another TBS or RTC. This, as you would agree, doesn't mean Spring Ridge Academy = Sedona Sky Academy any more than Copper Canyon = Sedona Sky or Copper Canyon = Spring Ridge. In the end, SSA owners would like a separation from Copper Canyon. The Sedona Sky Academy knowledge graph has been a nightmare as of late (KG image last week had a mugshot of a CCA staff member from years ago, that we labored to get removed). And these KG issues began about the same time that the CCA wiki page was redirected to the Sedona Sky Academy wiki page. Thanks for your consideration. Msampson10 (talk) 16:21, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, regarding the Conflict of Interest, you should know that I am not an employee of either Tammy Behrmann, Darren Prince, or Family Help & Wellness. Neither have I received "financial compensation" for the wiki edits. All three mentioned above have hired Zyndio Online Marketing for their SEO. I work for Zyndio as a 1099 contractor. If this helps the COI issue.. Thanks Msampson10 (talk) 17:18, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

References February 27, 2015
Hello Sam,

You recently edited my article (on an intellectual property boutique in Ottawa: Jensen & Company) and refused it on account of the references. I placed two independent references, in addition to the company website, in the article. As I am told that this is the minimum, what exactly was the problem? There aren't many other references online and I don't expect the article to be much longer than it is right now. What can I do to help it pass through?

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heid Jense (talk • contribs) 20:30, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
 * @Heid Jense:  Hi Heid, one of the two non-primary sources is a directory listing at Ottawa Chamber of Commerce, the other is an even shorter listing at Canadian Intellectual Property Office. None of them are significant. Please follow and read the links in the pink box in the draft to get some guidance. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 02:30, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello Sam,

The reason why I chose those listings as references was to support the claims in the text. As the actions of the company can only be legally carried out by a company/agent that is listed in these bodies, the listings therefore support the claims I found on the website. 14:40 EST, March 2, 2015 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heid Jense (talk • contribs) 19:36, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

11:44:37, 3 March 2015 review of submission by Stufe
Hi,

I am new to Wikipedia and trying to create a page for a European funded project. One of the 'deliverables' on the project is to create this Wikipedia page.

I see the page has been rejected as I have not included enough references to make the project notable enough.

There is a website for the project www.opti-wind.eu which explains the project and it's funding from the EU. Would including this reference be enough for the page to be accepted? If not could you provide some feedback on what else I need to do to the page so that it is accepted?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

re: February 2015
Dear Sam, this is in response to your message regarding edit-warring left on my talk page. I fully understand the rules of engagement and editing on Wikipedia. However, there appears to be a collaborative effort to vandalize the Kurds page for political purposes, namely Iranians/Persians and/or advocates of a view that Kurds have an Iranian/Persian identity. Please have a look at the lead, which I will quote here:

"The Kurds (Kurdish: کورد Kurd) are an ethnic Iranian group in the Middle East, mostly inhabiting a contiguous area spanning adjacent parts of modern-day Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, a geo-cultural region often referred to as "Kurdistan". The Kurds are an Iranian people and speak the Kurdish languages, which form a subgroup of the Northwestern Iranian branch of Iranian languages."

As you can see, there are 3 occasions within these two sentences that the Kurds are labeled "Iranians". There is no reason why the lead should mention that Kurds are "Iranian" 3 times. This is not helpful, not objective nor academic, and it is redundant. I have the personal view based on a number of resources that the classification of Kurds as Iranian is false. However, since some users have been insistent on this classification, I have left the mention of Kurds being classified as such within the lead. The only thing I have done is removed the redundancies in order to improve the quality of this Wikipedia article. My proposed alteration of the lead is the following:

"The Kurds (Kurdish: کورد Kurd) are an ethnic group in the Middle East, mostly inhabiting a contiguous area spanning adjacent parts of modern-day Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, a geo-cultural region often referred to as "Kurdistan". The Kurds are speak the Kurdish languages, which form a subgroup of the Northwestern Iranian branch of Iranian languages."

I have already taken this to the Kurds Talk Page in the past. After several discussions and debates with other Wikipedia members, we agreed on the terms. However, every time I return I see that people are changing the article again to include the redundancies, and quite frankly, inserting their subjective views. I do not believe I am edit-warring. I am simply attempting to clean the article (as well as take it back to a state that we had previously agreed) but others are constantly changing it back. Your further input is welcome.

Thank you.

 * Dear, thanks for your confidence in me. What, in your own words, is the difference between "Iranian" and "Iranian people"? Best, -- Sam Sing! 09:26, 11 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Dear, Iranian people in a modern context are the citizens of the nation-state of Iran. While there are Kurds living in Iran and who are citizens of Iran, the majority of Kurds are indigenous to Turkey, Iraq, and Syria and are not Iranian people. Therefore, it's confusing to readers when the article is stating that Kurds are Iranian people. The sources that some Wikipedia users cite are writers that classify Kurds as "Iranian" based on linguistics. That is why I think it is sufficient based on such sources to mention the Kurdish language group as being classified as Iranian, rather than defining Kurds as Iranian, which is both misleading as well as debatable. The history of the Kurds is not entirely clear and the linguistic classification is based purely on the similarities between Kurdish languages and Persian. In addition, it really makes little sense to state this 3 different times in two sentences within the lead. It's simply redundant.  Thanks for taking the time to read this and considering my arguments. -- User:Sharisna 11 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for WP:INDENTing your message, you are doing great! If you end your messages witn  they will both be signed and dated. So simple, when you get the hang of it.
 * Just for one moment let us put the question about Kurds aside. Please have a look at Baloch people. Just read the WP:LEAD, the lead is the part of the article that comes before the Contents box. What do you think? Is the text good as it is now? -- Sam Sing! 02:54, 12 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, thank you. Sorry for the delay; I was on holiday. I have had a look at the Baloch people. I think it, too, is redundant for the same reasons. However it is far less so than the Kurds lead has been at various times. It is funny to see this debate live on Wikipedia because Kurds actually have very famous old songs where they deny being Iranian but that is a whole other topic I suppose! In any case, I think it is fine to leave the statement about linguistic classification of Kurdish as being Iranian in the lead, but adding more references to Iranian is both confusing and redundant for the reasons I previously stated. Thanks for the tip on how to add a signature to my messages. I was wondering how to do that. Sharisna (talk) 01:23, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

17:57:17, 5 March 2015 review of submission by Jeannef802
Hi Sam,

First, thank you for the feedback and detailed explanation about why our first submission was rejected. We are learning. We have followed your guidelines and re-written the page more objectively (hopefully) focusing on eliminating the "advertorial" elements by including citations and information from very objective media pieces on the industry. I've pasted the draft of the edited submission below and would very much appreciate your feedback on whether this is ready for submission, and if not, what we might do to increase the chances of it being accepted. Again- this is a learning process and we want to do what's necessary to make it fit Wikipedia's guidelines.

SmileCareClub, Nashville, TN, a teledentistry company, is bringing to the dental and orthodontic industries. The company provides orthodontic teeth straightening for patients with mild to moderate using a series of clear plastic aligners to gradually adjust teeth. The virtual procedure, done by the patient at home at a lower cost, is overseen by an affiliated dental professional (licensed in the patient’s state). The treatment is appropriate for patients age 15 and over and not recommended for severe orthodontic issues. SmileCareClub rebrands and repackages the FDA-approved invisible aligners.

As the dental and orthodontic professions adapt to improved connectivity and increased insurance coverage for remote treatments, new and disruptive delivery methods have emerged. Many professionals have resisted the change, but more complicated cases are referred to participating professionals. Support from the professional and academic dental community is developing with certain caveats. They appreciate that telehealth technology has leveraged access and is expanding care to people who could not afford orthodontics and support companies that are setting the proper protocol and providing teledentistry treatment only to patients over 15 years of age with simple to moderate tooth movement needed. The telehealth industry increased 400% in 2012 (one in six visits were virtual in 2014) in the U.S.

There has been opposition from dentists, orthodontists and professional boards. Some professionals feel that patients who don’t go for regular check-ups are more likely to experience complications. In the absence of dental visits, unseen problems may go undiagnosed, affecting oral and overall health. Regulations and insurance reimbursements vary by state in the U.S. Telemedicine is affordable and convenient for the patient and expands access to care to diverse economic and geographic communities. Each year American consumers spend $100 billion on their teeth. The increasing choice of teledentistry for the patient population is creating a change in the orthodontic profession.

Thanks for your time and advice in helping us get this done.

 * Judging from Ross' IMDb entry, this is not the most obvious subject to start with if you want to write stubs on British actors: his career is short and the productions are not especially notable. So it might be a case of WP:TOOSOON but it all depends on what kind of sources you can find on Ross. Those added now does not fulfil neither WP:NACTOR nor WP:BASIC. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 20:56, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I'm having a really hard time grokking how the present president and CEO of NPR isn't notable. I've added additional cites from numerous sources to the article.

It is a stub, yes, but I'd created it out of surprise that there wasn't one already existing. More at the TeaHouse.

Hi Sam,

Could you please elaborate as to what other references that need to be provided. Selmer is a templating engine for Clojure, similar templating engines such as Jinja https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinja_(template_engine) and Twig https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twig_(template_engine) have been approved.

Jinja only has a single reference that happens to be its website, yet I provided multiple references for Selmer and that is deemed insufficient.

Selmer currently has over 25 thousand downloads https://clojars.org/selmer and is one of the more popular templating engines for Clojure. I'm not sure I understand what specifically you're looking for in terms of notability and what makes it less notable than engines such as Jinja and Twig.

Regards, Dmitri

Yogthos (talk) 04:01, 25 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Dimitri. As you can see, Jinja (template engine) has been tagged since 2013 as unreferenced. Would you like to add refs? It is not a valid argument to say that because some other article is insufficient, another one should be allowed to be as well, is it. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXIST. If Selmer is popular, there's got to be somebody who has written about it. Has it been mentioned in any books? Best, -- Sam Sing! 04:12, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Msg from Ragnaregg re Draft:Tempo
Hello Sam,

Thank you for reviewing the Tempo article, this is my first time creating a new Wikipedia page and I'm sure there are many things I'm not getting right. I am trying to keep as neutral a tone as possible and would like to know if there's anything specifically that you would change. Although, I would point to the pages of some of the collaborators and competitors of Tempo which seem to be employing a similar tone as the one I used: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V1_Ltd - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JIRA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrike

I firmly believe that Tempo should have its own wikipedia page, it was part of a publicly traded company until recently, has many notable clients, has participated in many forums and conferences in the field and is widely-known in its field. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragnaregg (talk • contribs) 09:24, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sam

You have recently declined the article below:

This is the second time it has been declined. I made all the changes suggested to me by the last reviewer and the people on live chat before submitting it a second time and they said they thought it should be OK. Could you be a bit more specific about what changes I need to make. I have tried to keep the tone neutral and cited a number of external pieces of press about the programme. This is a national UK programme supported by government and I believe it is notable enough to deserve a wiki page. Any help you can give me to make the amendments required to get this published would be really helpful. Could you let me know which parts that need to be changed?

Thanks

Require assistance in understanding the requirement for Wikipedia to accept the contents of my draft.- By Victim 86
Hi Sam I refer to my draft for the above. I am baffled as to why despite submitting all information that is required, the draft is still unacceptable.

The following notes appear under my draft:

This biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (February 2015) The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies. (February 2015) This article needs more links to other articles to help integrate it into the encyclopedia. (February 2015) This article should be divided into sections by topic, to make it more accessible. (February 2015)

I have made reference to the titles of the 2 magazines, the headers on the covers on these magazines, the pages that I have extracted the information from, the name of the authors, the pages from our local newspapers in Singapore etc.

I believe the only challenge that your office may face for verification would be to find these magazines from the year 1987- which took me about 18 months of effort to locate them.

I also paid a substantial amount to purchase the hard and soft copies of these magazines. I have written in several times to Mr Axl Matulic with regards to this article but apparently despite his relentless effort to assist me (for which I am very obliged), I somehow cant seem to meet the mark. I would like to state that the purpose of my wanting to display this article is to hopefully prevent this ex-fugitive, current bankrupt and con-artist from cheating more members of the public as he has during the last 28 years.

 * From what you write I can understand that you have been in off-Wiki contact with Axl Matulic who judging from a Google search is User:Amatulic who tagged Draft:Deepak Kanyalal Nandwani in February. I think the draft will benefit from an open discussion, and I therefore answer you here.
 * It is to me a bit unclear if your 5 March edits are attempts to add citations including quotes from the two magazines? Proper s would look something like this:
 * Interestingly here: http://www.engagingnews.us/select/Nick-Seitz.html is what appears to be a snip from something called Magazine for Magazine Management about the two above articles and the loss the two magazines suffered on unpaid adds. Ah, here we have the article on HighBeam. I have apllied for HighBeam access.
 * I have been Googeling several strings, but most of my attempts have not been successful. I have however found this:
 * -- not very interesting, just a directory listing that confirms the company existed back then.
 * -- vanished in early July while in New York
 * -- older than your articles, worth quoting in it's entirety:
 * -- not very interesting, just a directory listing that confirms the company existed back then.
 * -- vanished in early July while in New York
 * -- older than your articles, worth quoting in it's entirety:


 * "PORTLAND, ORE. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Police and customs officials in Singapore have seized sports equipment from the defunct Santennis Inc. mail-order company, authorities in Portland reported. The Portland-based Santennis sold cut-rate tennis and golf equipment by mail before it suddenly went out of business and its owner disappeared last month. Roy Geffen, postal inspector in charge of the Portland Division, said Singapore authorities detained a shipment of Santennis goods from the cargo ship C.R. Parris, which arrived in Singapore last week from Tokyo. Geffen said U.S. and Singapore customs officials were investigating possible technical violations of federal law on illegal export declarations and violations of Singapore's import laws. The export documents did not reflect the actual contents of the containerized cargo, which held "large quantities of golf clubs, tennis rackets and accessories," Geffen said. Santennis was operated by Deepak Kanyalal, 26, of Singapore, who used the name Peter Nandwani. Kanyalal and his brother, Chandru Kanya Nandwani, were identified as the consignees of the seized shipment. Santennis began retail operations in Portland about 14 months ago and quickly moved into mail-order sales. The company advertised in publications that included Golf Digest, Tennis and World Tennis, leaving them with unpaid advertising bills."


 * -- just a short snip about a customer being ripped off
 * -- this is interesting because it is a later source than the two January articles you have, and because it says Deepak Kanyalal was arrested and held in Aruba since October 1987.


 * But that's all that can be found online, or all I was able to find. Our WP:BLP policy is strict for many reasons, and if the above plus the reference from Straits Times adds up to meet WP:BIO, and I'm a bit concerned about the section regarding Singapore in recent years and how much of that you can source, then the article at least needs a very dispassionate rewrite. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 15:42, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

La Bella Principessa

 * Dear Sam,

You reverted my amendments to the page which is titled Portrait of a Young Fiancee, which I was trying to rename/re-title as La Bella Principessa, which is the title of the picture. Many of the references refer to books and articles about La Bella Principessa. Moreover, News or Book search using a search engine returns far more information about items relating to La Bella Principessa. Indeed, it is only Wikipedia that alludes to the Portrait of a Young Fiancee. Are you able to change the title to La Bella Principessa and remove the redirect page from Portrait of a Young Fiancee? JiffyJifster 11/03/2015 JiffyJifster (talk) 11:41, 11 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I have made zero edits in Portrait of a Young Fiancée so far, but since you bring the article to my attention I have looked at, and as you introduce countless referencing errors by copy-pasting text from the article instead of doing it in edit view which would have retained the correct references, I am going to restore a previous version. I can tell from the article history that the subject is a delicate matter. Please go slow on editing and provide edit summaries for all edits.


 * As for the article title it was Young Girl in Profile in Renaissance Dress when created in 2009, which is very close to Chritie's title Head of a Young Girl in Profile to the Left in Renaissance Dress. On 22 February 2012,  to "La Bella Principessa",   to So-called Bella Principessa an hour later, and Amandajm moved it the next day to Portrait of a Young Fiancée. According to  the work was in 2008 titled Profile of a Young Fiancée (my emphasis, as opposed to Portrait), Martin Kemp then first called the work La Bella Milanese, but quote "there were complaints that it made her sound like a veal chop, so [...] Kemp gave her the name she now has, La Bella Principessa." This and a quick search leaves me with the impression that you might be right and that La Bella Principessa would find support per WP:COMMONNAME. However, as the title has previously been controversial, consensus should be reached on the article talk page first. If consensus decides that La Bella Principessa is the better choice, it just takes an admin to delete the current redirect to make way for the move. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 14:17, 11 March 2015 (UTC)


 * JiffyJifster, I copied the above to Talk:Portrait of a Young Fiancée making it a proposal to move to La Bella Principessa, and gave it my support. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 15:46, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Question on Decline of Robert Hanley

 * It's a judgement call obviously, but neither of these usernames is a violation of the username policy in my opinion, though they're both borderline. Blocking should not be our first response in such borderline cases. In both cases, the user talk page is a red link; no one has made any effort (as recommended by the UAA instructions) to first discuss with the user and suggest that they choose a more appropriate user name. This is something anyone can do; you don't have to be an admin. -- Diannaa (talk) 21:40, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * No, it is (1) in no way "obvious" to me, and neither is it to George8211, why the user name DaielaHATESWIKI should not be in violation of WP:U. Why? That you (2) observe the user page is red-linked has AFAICT no relevance, but I welcome your policy based argument of the opposite, and (3) should you in contrast to the ARV reporter really how found that DaielaHATESWIKI is an appropriate user name, you should have utilized which you did not. Why not? -- Sam Sailor Talk! 22:56, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I can only repeat that I don't believe either of these usernames is a serious enough violation so as to warrant an immediate block without warning or discussion. In both cases, the user has not edited since March 5, and they are unlikely to return. You are free to add the template to their talk pages yourself, which will add them to the category Category:Wikipedia usernames with possible policy issues, but I myself will not be doing so, as I don't believe it's an issue. -- Diannaa (talk) 14:09, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * By now there's probably not much point in sorting them out as it's been so long since they edited, but I'll never be able to mind-read other people. &mdash;George8211 / T 16:49, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sam, Thank you for your help with this! I have looked at the changes you have made and I think what I need for some of the citations to prove what the Hubs offer is to link to their individual web pages, for example www.c2cbusiness.org.uk. I notice you have taken off the list of the 15 Hubs that have come out of this programme. Is this because it linked back to the main website? Can I add it back in but link to all the separate page? Would that be ok? Then I can use these links for the citations as well. Thanks Nikki

148.88.161.0 (talk) 10:48, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * No, per WP:LINKFARM you should not stick in 15 URLs for each and every of the 15 city regions, not as inline URLs, not as external links, cf. the guidelines on External links. These are primary sources anyway. What you should do is to move the four secondary refs now in /National Press/ up somewhere in the text, and then zap that section. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 11:04, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

"Stormy Atmosphere" band page declined again
Dear Sam Sailor,

My article was declined again, this time by you, due to notability issues. Here is the link to it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Stormy_Atmosphere

The problem is that I feel like I am chasing my tail here, because I have already been through these issues with many other moderators. I understand all the seriousness of the approach, but it feels like a de-ja-vu: My article is declined, the reason is that the band seems not notable, then I prove it's notability with links to independent sources out of Israel, the first moderator says it seems ok to him, then I submit the article and it's being rejected by other moderator. Then again I manage to prove him that the band is notable and the sources are independent, resubmit the article and... poof - it's rejected by a third moderator! Please help me with the issue once and for all. I don't beleive it's fair to make me work again and again on a same article, instead of writing other articles and contribute some more to Wikipedia. The explanations I got from previous moderators mustt have lead me astray so far. Then please be more specific with your remarks, or I might repeat the same mistakes, my article will be rejected again by someone else and this lose-lose loop will go on... It would be great if you could also send me an answer as a message to my Talk Thanks a lot in advance, Silverray123 (talk) 13:40, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

 * (click on it) asks for a source to support a statement or fact. (Technically I should maybe have used but that's not the biggest deal, the thing is to avoid WP:OR.)

Now, regarding MOS, do you use that side-by-side table in e.g. 30th Guldbagge Awards for the results because you think it's the best way to present it or because there is a tradition to do it that way? -- Sam Sailor Talk! 14:39, 10 March 2015 (UTC)


 * The tables are based on the layout for the Academy Awards, which seems to be the standard, although they have recently been updated to improve accessibility for visually impared users (see 87th Academy Awards, for example).  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 14:53, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I know that layout is used in Academy Awards and likely from there in a bunch of award articles. Do you remember any centralised discussion about this choice of table? -- Sam Sailor Talk! 15:28, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know of any discussion off the top of my head, but I think this layout became the defacto one. It's used on the César Awards, so it's not just US-centric!  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 19:26, 10 March 2015 (UTC)


 * The main benefit I see is that those pages also list all the nominated films/people too. I tend to work through those names when I was doing the Guldbagge Awards.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 12:37, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm on it captain, I'm on it, saw your link in 32nd Robert Awards, give an old deckhand a little time here. In a more serious tone, the last 15-20 years for both the Roberts and the Bodils are likely easy to fill out with nominees, but it seems a lot harder with the older ceremonies, and neither Danish Film Critics Association nor Danish Film Academy have been very forthcoming with finding the info and none of the standard reference works (Rasmussen/Piil etc.) have complete lists including nominees. Regarding the two-column tables I still do not see their benefit over lists, but as I said somewhere else, if there's a consensus to do it with tables, that's how we do it. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 12:52, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UFOs Declassified
Hi Sam Sailor. I wish to challenge your closing of Articles for deletion/UFOs Declassified. It seems like your assessment of consensus was based on a vote count, rather than policy based arguments. In fact, all of the arguments for keeping the article were based on an essay, and one was based on a dismissal of WP:GNG. I am requesting the you reverse the closure, and either let an admin close it, or better yet, allow other editors to comment so that there is a clear consensus. Thank you.- MrX 01:08, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * No, you got that wrong, I based my closure on, apart from the arguments put forth, the fact that common outcome is "Television series broadcast nationally by a major network or produced by a major studio are usually kept as they are considered notable." But should you still insist, I will re-open with a comment about this, and let somebody else close it. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 01:21, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think circular logic and bypassing community consensus are good practices. Keep arguments are supposed to be based on evidence of non-trivial, independent coverage in reliable sources and encyclopedic value. If the program were a long-running series, I might think differently, but since many of these programs are cancelled after (or even during) their first season, ignoring rules and deferring to essays does not seem wise. I stand by my request to have the discussion re-opened and thank you. - MrX 01:38, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I respect that we have different opinions, and will be happy to re-open the discussion. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 01:42, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Article Rejection of Rev. W. A. (Willis Anselm), Jarrel D.D. article?
Sam Sailer, Jarrel is a noted 19th century author and I did cite two good and verifible sources, and can add a third. You can go right to amazon.com and buy his books written more than a hundred years ago. He may not be important to most of us today, but he was a significant author back then, just being published was significant a hundred and fifty years ago, very expensive. This is important history.

De Molliere History
Hi Sam,

Hope this finds you well. I recently submitted a history on the De Molliere family, whom I have been conducting research into. I apologise for the inconvenience I caused by attempting to publish original research as I realise this is against policy. I've started to edit the page and was wondering if you could take a look at the page and let me know what you think of my revisions? I've replaced original material with only the content we can reference online (mainly from the site House of Names and a site I've hastily constructed). I realise you're extremely busy so I understand if it's a question of simply re-submitting the piece for review.

23:14:34, 13 March 2015 review of submission by A De Lacy
Thank you for your feedback on this article.

I have attempted to alter the tone throughout, and shall continue to make amendments if necessary. Before I resubmit, I wanted to ask your advice with regard to the sources. While I appreciate that many of those used were published pre-internet and therefore are not easily verifiable, I believe independent newspapers and magazines to be acceptable sources regardless. If the tone is appropriate, will the article still be declined due to sources not being available online and could I somehow scan and upload sources for verification purposes?

Best regards,

Ava

A De Lacy (talk) 23:14, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ava, some of the sources not being on-line is not a big problem, in fact sources are not required to be on-line, cf. WP:SOURCEACCESS. To me it's a bigger problem that the whole "article" sound much more like something I'd expect to read in an exhibition catalogue or on an art blog, not an encyclopedia. But the great thing about AfC is that you do not have to rely on the opinion on one editor (me), you could resubmit and get the opinions from other editors. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 20:32, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

04:25:08, 16 March 2015 review of submission by Andrew.muench
Hello, I am trying to create a page for the 436th Operations Support Squadron. I belong to the squadron, and my Commander asked me to create a wikipedia page so members would have something to show their loved ones about all the great work they're doing. It's been returned for a lack for verifiable sources, but I followed the same format and sources for the 9th airlift squadron, which is also at Dover. I guess I'm wondering why their page is up on Wikipedia while mine is being rejected. I've included the most accurate sources I could find up to this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Andrew.muench (talk) 04:25, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

thank you Sam
Hi Sam- thank you so much for accepting my Edward Dugger page, my first wikipedia page. I guess now it needs to be 'de-orphaned' somehow. Also appreciated your edits and cleaning up the organization. Sorry if incorrect venue saying thx. Wasn't sure how to contact you. Thanks again! Jnewengland (talk) 03:22, 25 February 2015 (UTC)Jnewengland ps. Did I say thank you? ;-)
 * @Jnewengland:  Good to hear from you! I have actually been thinking a couple of times to drop by on your talk page and say thank you. And here is why: you can not imagine how much utter crap one has to read at Articles for Creation: musician wannabes, youtube vloggers, promotional company "articles" copied directly from their About page. But then, from time to time, there are decent submissions, and among them are the rare shining stars. Edward Dugger, to me, was one such. Not only did you do a good job, but his bio is interesting reading. So it is I, who thank you. In return I fixed the orphanage situation, have a look.  Best, -- Sam Sing! 03:43, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

BTW, I'm working on my first article, and I've been looking through Sam's Talk page trying to learn how to do things correctly. I went to Edward Dugger to see a good example. I concur, it's a nice editing job and I really enjoyed learning about him. User:RobSVA User talk:RobSVA — Preceding undated comment added 18:50, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Eric Sollee
Hi Sam,

Regarding Draft:Eric Sollee This is my first article and first time writing to a talk page so please forgive mistakes (and tell me how to fix them).

Disclosure of potential conflict of interest: I was a student of Eric Sollee.

I've read your comments and tried to fix them, specifically: 1) removed puffery/peacock terms, 2) added references. I have saved the changes but not resubmitted. Are these changes sufficient? If not, for each of the two main issues could you please point to particular words or sections. I'll be happy to adjust.

I'm user RobSVA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RobSVA#Your_submission_at_Articles_for_creation:_Eric_Sollee_.28March_8.29 []

RobSVA (talk) 15:53, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * RobSVA, have a look at what I've done to the draft and let me know how I can help you further. We need a good WP:INTRO, right now the text moves focus away from Sollee to Harmemberg. I can't write it because I know nothing about fencing or Sollee. Your COI should not be a problem, but if you again you find yourself writing "maestro" or "Blah-blah Hall of Famer" you ought to immediately go and take a cold shower and return here reading WP:NPOV. Best, -- Sam Sailor Talk! 16:55, 10 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Sam,
 * I like the suggestions that you've made at the draft article. I made a bunch of changes; I believe that it's ready for your review.


 * "Regarding "Maestro" and "Hall of Famer", I understand your point about how it looks. I've removed the text (except for where Eric was inducted into the Harvard Athletic Hall of fame, which is part of listing his achievements).
 * You might want to reconsider however: "Maestro is used in the sport of fencing, for a fencing instructor, and may be used in other sports to convey respect for an individual's skill." It is a title afforded to some coaches, please see for example: Giorgio Santelli and László Szabó (fencer). I had emphasized "Maestro" and the other credentials of his coaches a) to justify why Eric is notable and hence should be in Wikipedia and b) because this is part of Eric's pedigree. As a fencer, it's not just the name of the school or club at which you fenced, but it's the specific coach under whom you trained.
 * Also, "USFA Hall of Famer" refers specifically to people who have been inducted into the United States Fencing Association (USFA) Hall of Fame. USFA is the governing body for fencing in the United States, e.g. they select the US Olympic fencing team. I added the credentials of his students, including the ones who have been inducted into the USFA Hall of Fame: a) again, to justify Eric being Notable and b) you're known and judged by the quality of the students that you have produced.


 * If you believe that "Maestro" and "USFA Hall of Famer" are okay in this context, I'll judiciously re-instate them.
 * thanks, I really appreciate the help.

 * Rob, you're not expected to know, but just for the future give WP:REDACT a read. No big deal here, but in other cases it can be. I think the draft looks good, the WP:LEAD sounds much better. Once you resubmit I'll stand back and let another editor at AfC chime in. Shouldn't you join WikiProject Fencing? Have fun editing! -- Sam Sailor Talk! 18:52, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Ragazine.CC
Sam, Thank you for pointing out the need for "Notability" in my submission of Ragazine.CC to Wikipedia. Ragazine.CC is an independent 501c3 not-for-profit operating under the aegis of Binghamton Imaginink, sponsor of the Binghamton, NY-based science and technology "Invention Convention." Founded in 2004, the zine has grown to an international circulation of around 10,000 visitors a month. (Not a lot in the scheme of things, but the audience is generally well-educated and the topics are eclectic in nature.) The zine review of ART KANE is referenced in Amazon's reviews of the book: ''Editorial Reviews Review Kane's portraits of rockers from Dylan to Joplin have an artistic panache that links them with his bold fashion imagery: the look of an illustrator with a camera. (American Photo Magazine's Top 10 Photo Books of 2014) (American Photo Magazine, December 1, 2014) Full of stunning images of the Stones and Cream alongside figures like Lenny Bruce, from a photographer who lived for the perfect shot.

The mystery of Demp Road
About two weeks ago, you prodded an article, Demproad Market, Hindaun City. The user who has repeatedly created this article under different names has, among other things, been accused of creating a hoax and been brought to ANI. I felt it might be important to determine whether this market or bazaar exists, and it turns out that Google Maps has a place mark for "Demp Road" in Hindaun, but it's marked at a crossroads without either of the two crossing roads being labeled with any name at all, as far as showed up for me. For now, I'm going with the hypothesis that the name of the road, if it exists, is probably Demp Road. If you have any further info, please let me know. Thanks, Samsara 15:00, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

I am amazed that you would think that a description of the first major Washington office held by Senator Ted Cruz, Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, and others would fail to be sufficiently notable.

Perhaps I haven't formatted everything correctly, but seriously--Ted Cruz's first political office is not notable? I've added a recent profile of Cruz's time at the FTC that was published in National Review--BECAUSE IT IS NOTABLE!!

There are other alumni of OPP who can contribute to this thing once it get posted and maybe someone can fix the formatting. But I really find it hard to believe that no one would find it useful to learn more about the first position held by Ted Cruz (among others).

I'm trying to get a page on Frank Matheis published. I've tried a couple of times to do the proper thing, but each time there is a new caveat. Frank is a prolific folk/blues journalist and radio commentator who also has made radio documentaries on a number of subjects. Like many journalists, he does a lot of writing, but people don't write about him that often. Therefore, the amount of reference material is limited. However, he has written scores of album reviews in the niche of country blues. Below is the entire document of material either about Frank or what he's written. I feel this is material of interest to the Wikipedia community. I would like to post it, but am asking for your guidance first.

Thanks.

Testimonials about Frank Matheis’ projects

“People often ask me, ‘To what do you attribute the resurgence of the Blues?’ Usually I reply, 'I didn't know it went anywhere.' Well it is thanks to people like Frank Matheis that it is always available. For the new listener, this will turn you on to the many colored art form that the blues really are. For the long time fan, you will hear things you heard years ago as well as things you should have heard years ago. You will also hear things you should hear today. Don't miss ‘I Wish I Was In Heaven Sitting Down’.” Jorma Kaukonen Singer/Songwriter Hot Tuna; The Jefferson Airplane

“…This [documentary] is much more in depth than I imagined. You get a lot of information in here but plenty of music too… Overall it’s impressive in that it’s both scholarly and entertaining…” Bruce Iglauer President Alligator Records

‘I Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down’ …should be required listening for anyone interested in American music…because it brims with powerful, potentially life-changing blues. You cannot hear this music and remain unmoved.” Eric Pooley, Editor - TIME magazine, personal quote

“Congratulations on ‘I Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down’. It is a brilliant, encylopedic and thoroughly enjoyable documentary of the blues… a truly epic achievement of song and sensitive commentary.” Raymond R. Patterson (deceased) Poet and Author of Elemental Blues former Professor of English City University of New York

“What a great time I had listening to the 6 hours of blues documentary. I learned so much about the blues and about different performers, some of whose names I knew, and others it was great to learn about and hear. It was a great education for me and so entertaining as well I hope that many other people will have the opportunity to hear ‘I Wish I Was In Heaven Sitting Down’.” Sonny Ochs Host of “Mostly Folk” Producer – Phil Ochs Song Nights WRPI, New York

"Frank Matheis' radio documentary series, 'I Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down,' is distinguished both by the range of blues-topics covered in each episode and by the freshness of musical (and poetic) selections Matheis has chosen to include. He's assembled an all-star cast, including actor James Earl Jones and folklorist David Evans. The blend of anecdotal and historical material works wonderfully to evoke the sorrows, hardships, redemptive humor, and creative artistry of the blues people Matheis profiles. 'The blues,' Matheis notes eloquently, 'can be about crying and dying, about hopes and dreams and everything in between.' Beautifully put--like so much else in this fascinating and informative series." Dr. Adam Gussow Blues Scholar and Harmonica Player (Satan & Adam) Author of Mister Satan’s Apprentice Prof. at the University of Mississippi

“… Reflecting Mr. Matheis' deep appreciation for the soulful wellspring from which the best of this music surges -- as well as for the contagiously emotive form itself -- this program intersperses a mix of probing, thoughtful commentary and evocative anecdotes with excellent music selections, including a number of surprises…There is enough cogent explanation of sources, social context, technique and evolution here to guide the uninitiated while enriching the experience for blues cognoscenti as well. Equally gratifying, with strong production values, the program delivers this powerful music with a vibrant presence throughout.” Procter Lippincott Former music editor at Scholastic Magazines, and music writer for Down Beat, The Village Voice and Newsday, among others

"This is a professionally produced series worthy of any blues loving radio station putting to air. Insightful commentary and spot on historical track selection guides the listener through the history of Mississippi Delta Blues from its origins in Africa to the present day…. I’d just like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to air this wonderful program." Geoff Pegler Host of BluesBeat, FM 89.3 Victor Harbor, 94.7 Strathalbyn, 88.3 Yankalilla S.A. Host of "The Sound of the Fleurieu" FM 106.7 Mildura, 90.7 Robinvale & Wentworth Vic, 87.8 Coomealla Nsw. Australia

“…I have found your website and podcasts to be a fantastic resource, and just plain fun (for a blues lover like me!).” Prof. Dr. Steve Garabedian Dept. of History Marist College Author of: Reds, Whites, and the Blues: Lawrence Gellert, “Negro Songs of Protest,” and the Leftwing Folksong Revival of the 1930s and 1940s

“This site is the greatest! At last, something that points true fans of country blues to the quality of music that’s out there. I could spend hours, days even, checking it all out. “ Dr. David Evans Prof. of Ethnomusicology University of Memphis Musicologist, musician, author of Big Road Blues

“TheCountryBlues.com website that Frank Matheis has so diligently and meticulously created is my main “go-to” source whenever I need information on the contemporary country blues scene. Teaching several university courses in the blues means that I’m always being asked by my students what’s a good source of info on modern acoustic blues. Without hesitation I shoot them off to Frank’s site. It (and he) are a font of inestimable information presented with the care of someone who truly loves (and knows) the country blues! There’s no other site like it on the internet!” Dr. Bruce Conforth, musician, musicologist, author. Prof. of American Culture – University of Michigan

Article related to Luminoso
Hi Sam,

You were good enough to review the article I submitted about Luminoso a couple months back. I submitted a related article about three weeks ago to WP:AFC. It's about the CEO, who is a very prominent artificial intelligence researcher out of MIT. I think it's even more interesting than the Luminoso article. Her team at MIT led the creation of a program that's been independently tested at the verbal level of a 4-year old and has likely improved a lot since the last test.

I thought you might want to look at it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Catherine_Havasi I again disclosed a WP:COI on the Talk page, as I did with Luminoso. Perhaps since you already reviewed Luminoso, it will be faster for you to get up to speed with the article on Catherine Havasi. I probably should have alerted you when I first submitted it for review.

Many thanks,

Thanks !
A huge thanks for Your improvement on Janni Spies. If You could do the same about Simon Spies it would be even better. I'm not perticulary intrested in Janni Spies, but when I noticed Janni Spies in red, I just though I could do something. The story about Simon Spies, including the scandals during his "hippie-epoqe" also needs a good update and expanding. But thanks anyway ! Boeing720 (talk) 22:49, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello. You reviewed and helped me with creating a Wikipedia page for academic Arthur Bochner. I am now trying to create a page about the academic Carolyn Ellis. I am struggling with how to footnote the same source several times without repeating the source in the references. I also forget the process by which I need to go through to have the page reviewed and published. I am attaching the link here. I would be grateful for your help. Thank you!
