AfD for Sneha Krunal Thakker
Why are you reverting my edits? Look at the edit history. The edit by User:Vikmi that I undid was a removal of his/her own SPA tag. Vikmi is an SPA. --Sammy1339 (talk) 17:53, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for discussing me with the matter. Well, you should avoid removing (reverting) any contents from AfD discussions. As per Afds we are advised to keep everything without modification. — <b style="color:#D60047">C</b><b style="color:#F0A000">ute</b><b style="color:#00A300">st</b><b style="color:#0A47FF">Penguin</b><sup style="font-size:50%">Hangout 17:56, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Reverted Edits
Hello Cutest Penguin,

You just reverted my edits on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kailash_Vijayvargiya which I put up because the page has many issues. The page has all those problems but they are still there. I don't get it. Katyaan (talk) 09:18, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Recent software changes
 * The "Special:Cite" page is now called "Special:CiteThisPage". That way, you know it's to cite the page, not to add a reference.
 * You can no longer use the  keyword for text searches. It caused issues with the new search tool. It will come back later.

Problems
 * There was a bug in VisualEditor with Internet Explorer. It hid tools like the link editor when you opened them. The bug was fixed on Monday.
 * Issues with the new search tool caused geo data code to show up on pages on Monday and Friday. The mobile "nearby" tool was also broken. The problem is now fixed.
 * HHVM caused server issues on Thursday. They are now fixed.

Software changes this week
 * The new version of MediaWiki ( 1.25wmf5 ) has been on test wikis and MediaWiki.org since October 29. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis from November 4, and on all Wikipedias from November 5 (calendar).
 * Some wikis have icons at the top of a page to show if it is protected or featured. Icons show up using CSS. You can now use the  tag in these templates instead to add the icons. [//www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning#Page_status_indicators]
 * VisualEditor now tells you if you're editing a re-used reference. This helps you avoid changing it if you just want to add a new one.
 * The icons in VisualEditor's template editor tool for adding more fields are back, along with other fixes.
 * After November 6, all wikis will have the tool to edit TemplateData. [//www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:TemplateData]

Future changes
 * The new search tool will come to the last wikis in the coming weeks. This includes Wikipedia in French, Chinese, German and English.

12:49:57, 1 November 2014 review of submission by Tslnadar
Forbes Art Award for the 2014 has been granted to photographer and curator Ram Rahman for curating "The Sahmat Collective: Art and Activism in India since 1989" at the Smart Museum of Art, Chicago which brought work of more than 60 artists showcasing two decades of contemporary Indian Art within the political sphere. This is an important award given by Forbes Art Magazine, recognising the contribution of Ram Rahman.  Photographer and Curator Ram Rahman has already published / co-edited three important books concerning matters of art. The ISBN and other details have already been provided. Please advice me why Ram Rahman is not considered notable and what kind of further references to be given. Thank you.

Thank you Cutest Penguin,

I have edited the draft Ram Rahman. Have deleted few references that were wrong and unnecessary. Have added more relevant references. The notability of photographer Ram Rahman is evident and his contribution has been recognized by Forbes India. He is a co-founder of SAHMAT a leading public art organisation in India. Thank you.

21:22:02, 4 November 2014 review of submission by Amymiller dvm
{{SAFESUBST:Void|

FIRST TELL US WHY YOU ARE REQUESTING A RE-REVIEW ON THE LINE BELOW THIS LINE. Take as many lines as you need. -->} Hi there, I am not requesting a re-review at this time, but I would really like some guidance on how to improve this article for publication on Wikipedia. from the online chat site, I was told that the article reads like an advertisement for the ASVCP towards the end (which I understand now), the references should not come from the "about us" pages of websites and the article is too U.S. centric and does not include organizations outside of the U.S. Are there any other specific criticisms that I need to address? In re-writing this submission, is it best to leave out the section on the ASVCP and just make it more geared toward the general umbrella of veterinary clinical pathology and let the ASVCP submit their own page? I think this is a Wikipedia worthy topic and I want to make it a great submission so any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Amy

Amymiller dvm (talk) 21:22, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Anytime you can seek for help either here or on IRC. Well, While reviewing your draft I found that the references were from self-published sources which is on Wikipedia is not considered to be the reliable sourcehelp, what you can do is -


 * 1) Find out the reliable sources and cite the contents of the article.
 * 2) Read the essay for writing better articles which will help you in formating and structuring the article and its sections.
 * 3) Also make sure that your contribution should have neutral point of view.

You can follow the above links for more assistance. Cheers! Keep contributing. — <b style="color:#D60047">C</b><b style="color:#F0A000">ute</b><b style="color:#00A300">st</b><b style="color:#0A47FF">Penguin</b><sup style="font-size:50%">Hangout 16:31, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

05:15:28, 5 November 2014 review of submission by 71.183.5.96
We're mystrified by your rejection of our listing. This award is included in your List of Poetry Awards under our society's name, the W.B. Yeats Society of New York. We wanted a link from the list to the expanded entry so people can get more information on the award. Most of the awards in your lists are linked accordingly. Do we need to add our society's history? We added the names of our prestigious judges. Do we need to add winners from prior years? That's easy enough to do. Help!

 * Thank you for brining the issue here. Well, Articles on Wikipedia are governed by certain rules and regulation which is known as policy in technical term. The basics are

But in current state your draft is not ready for the mainspace article the reason behind is the formating of your article does not meets the Wikipedia's standards, you are requested to have a look at the easy writing better articles this will ɡʌɪd you smoothly in formating and referencing your article. — <b style="color:#D60047">C</b><b style="color:#F0A000">ute</b><b style="color:#00A300">st</b><b style="color:#0A47FF">Penguin</b><sup style="font-size:50%">Hangout 16:39, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) notability - Says your article should be notable.
 * 2) verifiability - Says facts and information should be verifiable.
