Stub tags
Please take care not to add stub to an article which already has a specific stub tag, as you did here (I've reverted). It just wastes other editors' time. Thanks. Pam D  07:48, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Please understand I will curate and tag a couple hundred pages at a time when I decide to work for the day. Simple mistakes like this are inevitable. Not sure what necessitated the condescending tone...Sulfurboy (talk) 13:57, 25 October 2013 (UTC)


 * And (in my completely unbiased personal opinion) (OK, you immediately saw through that. Start again.). In my opinion (FWIW), I can personally assure you that PamD is a valuable resource who's efforts you really don't want to waste. Pdfpdf (talk) 14:21, 24 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think any human can accurately and knowledgeably curate hundreds of pages a day. I've been doing this as one of my principal activities for 7 years now, and I learned I can not maintain a high standard if I do more than 20 or so of the same thing at a time, for any WP process. Some people manage 50. Except for correction of trivial errors, I don't know of anyone who does many more than that successfully. And certainly not for 7 or 8 hours at a stretch.
 * It's not that you make many actual errors. It's that you don;t follow up what other things the contributor may have written, and that  you are almost always content with the form notices. I too use them most of the time, but when I see someone who seems to need assistance--whether the assistance is to stop trying the impossible or advice about what specific kind of referencing will help the article, I don't wait for them to come to my talk page, but give it.  You do help them when they come here, but most people won't do that. They just go away. What we need to do to keep WP going is to get more initial contributors to remain active.

Notion press
Dear Sulfurboy, I seek a suggestion from you. I am around here editing articles for more than a year, but still not familiar with rules (yes I am guilty!). I want to create a page for Notion press, a self publishing company. I wrote 'encyclopedically'. I just want to know from you whether it qualifies for the notability criteria. It has got a few newspaper sources (4 to 5). A daily stated it's first of its kind in free publishing in India. Can you please help me in clarifying this? Also I see several articles for such publishers. Thanks a ton :) --Challengethelimits (talk) 09:02, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Article review
Hello!

A while ago, you reviewed my article "Flag of Mobile, Alabama", but I couldn't find the review you did. I am just wondering what you graded the review (or if you even did at all). Thanks! Ug5151 (talk) 00:31, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Mayors
Current practice is that being mayor of a city is notable if the city is large enough. Loule has 70,000, which we usually accept at AfD. there is no fixed cutoff: personally I'd go for 100,000, but usually it seems consensus is somewhere around 50,000. The way to find out how we interpret things is to hand around AfD discussions, and see the variety of opinions.  DGG ( talk ) 18:01, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
