Re: Samuel Eson Johnson Ecoma
In reply to you Vanjagenije, i believe that this page/article should not be deleted from Wikipedia. First and foremost, the criteria of notability has been met, as the article talks about a notable personality who should be remembered for his wonderful and outstanding contributions to the growth of the Cross River State Judiciary. Secondly, the issue you raised about sources has been resolved. It should be kept in mind that this article was recently created and so for some time, like all other new articles on Wikipedia, it will undergo some editing and revision/amendments by the creator of the page. As regards the issue of sources, i have added three (3) significant sources/references to the article which discuss/describe Hon. Justice S. E. J. Ecoma and so are "significant". With time, other references will be added. In my opinion, this article/page created by me does not lack any significant detail or requirement which should make for its deletion. It is therefore my submission that this article should not be deleted.

 * This is not a place for discussing the article. The deletion discussion about "Samuel Eson Johnson Ecoma" article is open here: Articles for deletion/Samuel Eson Johnson Ecoma. You are free to join the discussion and state your opinion. Wikipedia articles need to have several references to reliable independent sources that significantly cover the subject (see: WP:42). My opinion is that your sources do not contain significant coverage. Both and  just mention him in passing, but there are no significant coverage. By the way, if you are related to Samuel Eson Johnson Ecoma, then you are having the WP:Conflict of interest, and you should read this carefully: WP:PLAINANDSIMPLECOI.

The links you provided on my talkpage was very helpful to me. I tried using the random article feature by the left side of my page to edit articles but all i see are things i am not very familiar with. Is there a way I can see articles on wikipedia related to my interest? MyUsernameHasAlreadyBeenUsed (talk) 00:34, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi! All Wikipedia articles are classified into categories. You can search categories to find the articles about your favorite topics. You can start from the root category which is Category:Main topic classifications. And, of course, you can type whatever you are interested in into the "search" field and look for the article you need. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:53, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Reflinks
I noticed many experienced writers use Reflinks to create neat articles, can you educate me on how to make the phrase "filling with reflinks" show whenever I create future articles?MyUsernameHasAlreadyBeenUsed (talk) 00:18, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi! Reflinks is a tool that is used to properly format citations in articles. It is not used to create articles. This tool is used to transform bare URLs into fully formatted citations, so to prevent link rot. When editing article using Reflinks tool, the edit summary is automatically filled with phrase "filling with reflinks". You can learn more about the tool and how to use it here: User:Dispenser/Reflinks. Feel free to ask me for further help. Vanjagenije (talk) 08:54, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Μη Βίαιη Επικοινωνία
Hi there. This article was meant for wikipedia generally. It is the greek translation of the english article on Nonviolent Communication. I thought that english wikipedia and greek wikipedia were the same thing, so after I moved it to live I realised that they were different. Then I copied it to greek wikipedia. So, it is ok for me to have it deleted as long as it is not deleted in the greek wikipedia also! In the english wikipedia text it is easy to mark a word that refers to an article just by using these brackets word. If I do the same to the words in the article of the greek wikipedia, the words become red and not blue, because there is no such article in the greek wikipedia. My question is: Is there an easy way to create links between the words and the articles in the english wikipedia, so when the readers hit on the words they will be taken to an article in english on that topic? Thank you 5.54.212.252 (talk) 21:59, 8 September 2014 (UTC) 5.54.212.252 (talk) 21:44, 8 September 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.54.212.252 (talk) 21:42, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, you can make links between different language versions of Wikipedia. For example, in English Wikipedia, you can create a link to the article in Greek Wikipedia, by typing the "el" prefix. So, typing this: Greece will render this: Greece, which is a link to the Greek Wikipedia. Similarly, you can create a link from Greek Wikipedia to the English one by using the prefix "en".

 * Hi! As I understand, you are Tony Mattia and you want to write an article about yourself. In almost all cases, writing autobiographies is not allowed in Wikipedia (see: WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY).

Please help me keep Dao's theorem
Thank to You very much dear Vanjagenije. But now I am commenting to keep Dao's theorem, I will come back to editing Dao six points circle later (because this theorem also publish in a journal in 10/2014). I think You can help me keep the page Dao's theorem because all theorem of this publish in some journal, please visite to: Dao's theorem help me. I am very thank to You.--Eightcirclestheorem (talk) 09:14, 29 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi! I read the article carefully, and I also read the deletion discussion (Articles for deletion/Dao's theorem). it seams to me that you are actually Dao and that you are trying to promote the theorem you developed. That is not how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia articles need secondary independent sources (see: WP:42) to prove the notability. All the sources you cited (like journals) seems to be written by yourself, so those are not independent sources. Wikipedia does not allow original research. You'll have to cite some sources written by others to prove the notability of the theorem. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:23, 29 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Dear Vanjagenije, I am very thank to You, I think I want to share Dao's theorem to everybody by wiki because it is nice theorem in classical geometry. I don't think I promote myself. Because in Tran Hoang Son's paper at here http://gjarcmg.geometry-math-journal.ro/ (Tran Hoang, Son (2014). "A synthetic proof of Dao's generalization of Goormaghtigh's theorem". In Pișcoran, Laurian-Ioan. Global ), and Nikolaos Dergiades's paper at here: http://forumgeom.fau.edu/FG2014volume14/FG201424.pdf, I did not write these paper, but these paper with title : Dao's theorem...., so I wrote pages with title Dao's theorem. If you see in Dao's theorem. You can see that Dao's theorem is nice theorem, because the theorems are generalization of some the famous theorems. Please help me to keep it. Even you can edit with another title if you think it is true. On the other hand, I think Dao's theorem are nice than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes%27_quadruplets, so I think Dao's theorem is notable theorem. Thank to You very much again.--Eightcirclestheorem (talk) 17:44, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment A bout Articles for deletion/Dao six-point circle please click http://faculty.evansville.edu/ck6/encyclopedia/ETCPart4.html#X5569 and http://www.cut-the-knot.org/m/Geometry/CirclesTangentToMedians.shtml. And I post this because my friend said to me that Kimberling center is cite source for another dictionary, so I posted. Why I posted with name: Dao's six point circle?? Because two web sites above (cut the knot, and Kimberling ETC) wrote this with title Dao's six point circle so I rewrite with the same title, I don't think I write with another title that time. Please note that at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Dao_six-point_circle, wrote by Sławomir Biały  as follows:

Yes, we publish notable'' results of amateur mathematicians. This needs to be evidenced by a number of sufficiently high quality secondary sources (a paper or book chapter, for instance). But we don't just publish any old result (even those by professional mathematicians). We have guidelines that help to objectively determine whether a result is notable in this sense.''.


 * Note that: Now the Dao Thanh Oai's paper appear online. He show that Dao six point circle, and the famous van Lamoen circle are special case of theorem 3.1 in his paper, please click. http://ijgeometry.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/9.pdf. Therefor, Now Dao six point circle has three site sourse with independent proofs (Two reliable sources)

Anyway, the discussion about your article is located here: Articles for deletion/Lonesome orchestra. That is the place for discussion the article, and you are free to join the discussion. You don't have to send the sources to me or to anybody else, sources need to be cited in the article (see: WP:42). You have to understand that Wikipedia articles need to cite several reliable independent sources that significantly discuss the subject. The links you provided are either unreliable (like blogs) or just mention the subject, with no significant coverage. Those are not enough to establish the notability (see: WP:NMUSIC).

Speedy deletion declined: 21st Hapilos Digital
Hello Vanjagenije. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of 21st Hapilos Digital, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article claims coverage in reliable sources. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 19:25, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Saša Mitrić
Hello. I wanted to say that although I declined the speedy on Saša Mitrić, I think it could have gone either way. I tend to go conservative on a close call with a non-English subject, as the English sources are harder to find. Ironically, I might have deleted it if I had noticed that you spoke Serbo-Croatian, as I would have been more confident that non-English sources had been checked.-- Mojo Hand (talk) 21:24, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the cup of tea. I have an non-understanding on how new knowledge should start in wikipedia. I am used to starting the page and getting a community to edit to the stable product. But when I start a page in wikpedia the speedy delete occurs. This is very frustrating and not in my understanding of wiki authoring. Agent script is a real thing being created by a community of opensourcers. Is there a minimum age of information ? In another community they were adding the topic Open Strategy that is being developed in the strategy community. So how does one start with out the editor hook ?

 * Hi! You have to understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and that it has certain inclusion rules. You cannot write articles about anything, but only about things that are notable. Wikipedia has very specific definition of "WP:NOTABILITY". When you write an article, you have to prove (within the article) that the subject of the article is notable enough, otherwise the article might get deleted. The only way to prove that the subject is notable is to cite several reliable independent sources that significantly discuss the subject (please, see: WP:42). You wrote an article without explaining why the subject is notable, and without citing any reliable independent sources. The article does not need to be fully formatted to be accepted, but it needs to cite at least some reliable sources to prove the notability. Feel free to ask me for any kind of help that you need.

I contact you as you deleted 'YummyPets' that I created a few days ago. You might have feel its too light but it is one of my first article. I decided to create it after Orange talked about its connected collar during its annual Hello Show : http://livetv.orange.com/fr/live-Orange-TV/show-hello/le-replay/le-replay-du-show-hello-2014

Then do you have any advice so that the page I would re-create is not deleted again ?

Thanks for your tips — Preceding unsigned comment added by FlorianGr (talk • contribs) 07:32, 15 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi! I did not delete your article, I just proposed it for deletion. Only administrators can delete articles, and I'm not one of them. Your article (Yummypets) was not deleted, it was WP:Userfied and it is now located here: User:FlorianGr/YummyPets. Article may be moved back to the article namespace when it becomes ready. The main problem with the article is the wp:Notability of its subject. Wikipedia has strict rules about the notability. Wikipedia articles need to cite several reliable independent sources (see WP:42) to prove the notability of the subject. Your article cites three sources. One of those is a dead link, another one is not independent because it's from a web site of the company that invests in YummyPets. You have to expand the article with more citations from reliable sources (please, see: WP:RELIABLE) to make it ready to be moved back. Vanjagenije (talk) 18:48, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

International institute for nanotechnology
You marked this page for deletion, and RHaworth deleted it. On his talk page he said he wanted the capitalization corrected and more diverse and better sources added (at least, this is my interpretation). These are easy requests. Will this also satisfy you, or did you have different objections?

AaCBrown (talk) 23:55, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Second try
I corrected the capitalization in International Institute for Nanotechnology. I added material attesting to the importance of the IIN from BloombergBusinessWeek, Discover, Nanotechnology for Dummies and Nanotechnology Etc. (an industry newsletter). The core information still comes from Northwestern University, as the independent sources are older and don't go into much detail about the institute. Most articles focus specific discoveries or research areas.

Personally, I think that's okay. I mean this isn't some foundation I started yesterday or a political splinter group. It really does exist and it gets mentioned frequently in the science and business news. I trust Northwestern about the size, organization, programs and affiliates, and it's hard to think of another reliable, up-to-date source.

I can add more news citations, but I feel like they give the article too much of a puff feel. The articles tend to hype things a bit like "one of the premier research institutions in the world," or, "the IIN is essential to progress in nanotechnology" (that last is from the Congressional Record and you can guess what the Senator from Illinois wanted). If a leading scientist, independent of the IIN, had said those things it would be worth including, but if it's the Northwestern PR department talking some journalist into inserting the words, or a Senator drumming up cash for the home team, I think they're pretty meaningless. I hate to overuse them in Wikipedia.

Anyway I hope you like it, or at least don't hate it so much you think it should be deleted. If I can improve it in any way, please let me know. If you kill it again, I'll give up and find another topic.

AaCBrown (talk) 01:41, 20 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi! You need to understand that Wikipedia has certain inclusion criteria. Wikipedia only contains articles about subjects that are notable enough. And, Wikpedia has specific definition of "WP:notability". In Wikipedia, a subject is considered notable is there are several reliable, independent sources that significantly discus the subject (see: WP:42). You are right, if somebody is connected to the subject (like the Senator) or somebody payed for an interview to be published, than that source is not reliable. Subjecta for which reliable independent with significant coverage cannot be found are considered non-notable, are are usually deleted. You say that this institute "really does exists", but that is not enough. The fact that something exists is not the proof that it the notable. You also say that this institute is "mentioned frequently". That is also not enough. Just mentioning something is not considered to be a significant coverage (and, again, we need significant coverage in reliable independent sources). You added references to some sources to the article, that's true, but some of them just mention the IIN, with no significant coverage. Most of the article is still dependent on primary (ie. not independent) sources (which is the web site of the institute itself). I think that the article should not be deleted in this state, but you still need to find more reliable sources. Another problem of the article is the style of citations. Your citations are (almost) WP:bare URLs, and they tend to suffer from WP:link rot. You should style the citations properly (see: Help:Footnotes). Feel free to ask me if you need any help.

 * Hi! Yes, the article was deleted by an administrator. If you need a copy of the article for yourself, you may ask the deleting administrator to provide you the copy (User talk:Alexf). You have to understand that Wikipedia has certain inclusion rules. We don't need to have articles about geckos in every single country. Animals do not recognize national borders, so it is pointless to have separate article about, say, "geckos in Zimbabwe" and "geckos in Tanzania". We need to have articles about different animal species. You are free to expant articles about Gekkonidae and about differend gecko species (Category:Geckos). Vanjagenije (talk) 11:13, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
 * one way to address the geckos' lack of acknowledgement of human borders is to focus an article on borders that the geckos do acknowledge, for example it might be appropriate to create something like "geckos of the Limpopo watershed" (if others have published on that topic and there are interesting uniquenesses and differences and relationships between those species which have been recorded in the literature) (by people other than you). -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  11:55, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Your article is wp:userfied and it is located here: User:DrC.Humphreys/Gekkos of Zimbabwe. I don't believe it would be helpful to just rename the article to "endemic gekkos of Zimbabwe". The article is just a list of gecko species. We already have articles on (almost) all gecko species (see: Gekkonidae).

Re. Isn't a picture in Wikimedia Commons a reference? . Isn't patrolling a certification of approval?

 * Hi! A photo cannot be used as a source for a biography (see: WP:V). The existence of a photo of a person cannot be used as en evidence that the said person is notable. New pages patrolling is not a proof that the article is OK. I am a new pages patroller myself, so I'm very familiar with the patrolling rules. New Pages patrol is a voluntary service. Anybody can do the patrol, even a total newbie who is not familiar with Wikipedia rules at all. Any page that does not satisfy the rules may be proposed for deletion, even if it was patrolled. Now, your second question, about the references. General Wikipedia policy is that "the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material" (see: WP:BURDEN). This means that it is your duty to provide reliable sources, since you added this article. You cannot expect others to do your job. I don't see any reason for such an emotional reply from you, as you were free to ask me for help, but you didn't. In the future, feel free to ask me if you have any problem connected with Wikipedia, and especially if I am a source of the problem. Thanks. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:27, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

List of Wikipedias is the list of all the Wikipedias that exist, but List of Wikipedias in languages having official status in India only lists the Wikipedias that are in languages that have official status in India like Assamese, Hindi etc., it doesn't contain other languages (Korean, Chinese, Thai etc.) that are otherwise listed in the Article List of Wikipedias. So please remove the tag for speedy deletion from the article. IKHazarika (talk) 10:14, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree that those two articles are not identical. But still, all those Wikipedias that you listed in Wikipedias in languages having official status in India are already listed in the List of Wikipedias. As per WP:A10, that article needs to be deleted because it "does not expand upon, detail or improve information". The article was deleted by administrator User:Tokyogirl79. If you still think that it should be undeleted, you may contact the deleting administrator. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:29, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Vasil Tolevski
Hi! do not delete the page Vasil Tolevski, please! he is Macedonian satirist and humourist — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olgica Tolevska (talk • contribs) 13:27, 1 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi! I have no power to delete articles. Only administrators are able to delete. I proposed article "Vasil Tolevski" for deletion according to the WP:BLP PROD policy. Wikipedia policies say that every article about a living person must cite at least one reliable source, or otherwise be deleted. Your article only cites the personal web page of the article's subject, but that is not a reliable source (see: WP:42). You have seven days to add references to reliable sources to the article. Another problem with the article is that you are apparently related to Vasil Tolevski, which means that you have the WP:CONFLICT OF INTEREST, so I strongly advise you to read this carefully: WP:PLAINANDSIMPLECOI before making any further edits.

I've declined your G5 nomination for Dashtesare gharbi Rural District, Dashtesare sharghi Rural District, Dashtesare Sofla Rural District and Dashtesar District. User:Alireza.fzd is only listed as a suspected sockpuppet and there's been no SPI report now any administrator who actually blocked them. I'm leaning on the side of WP:BITE in case the editor is actually innocent here. Please file a SPI report or provide some more evidence of WP:DUCK if you have it. Thanks. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:48, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Your comment to me regarding POST/POP_Records Wiki
hi, I received a message that you responded to my question about why you flagged a legitimate page for deletion. I could not read your response as User: RHaworth, who originally deleted the page at your request, also deleted your response to me.

I have reported him for vandalism and I have still not received a response (without RHaworth deleting it first) as to why you flagged the page for deletion.

As User:Rhaworth (self proclaimed "Admin From Hell") is trying to whitewash any response on this, please email me jedshepherd@gmail.com with an explanation. I am hoping this sort of thing is an isolated incident and having a troll as an admin is a rare occurrence!

Thanks, Jed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jedshepherd (talk • contribs) 12:19 pm, Today (UTC+1)


 * Hi! I don't like to use e-mail, so I'm answering you here. I responded to your request at Talk:POST/POP Records (which is a talk page of the now deleted article POST/POP Records). But, the talk page was also deleted by the same administrator who deleted the article (User:RHaworth). That is a normal procedure. Talk pages of deleted articles are routinely deleted according to the WP:G8 policy, and that is certainly not a case of vandalism. Now, about the article. You wrote an article titled "POST/POP Records", but the article was deleted by the said administrator after my request. I'm a new pages patroller, so it is my job to review articles and propose deletion of those that satisfy the criteria for speedy deletion. Your article was deleted according to the WP:A7 policy. You wrote an article about a company, but from the article itself it was not clear why the company is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia. You have to understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Wikipedia only accepts articles about subjects that are somehow important. The question is not whether the company is legitimate, successful, praised, or popular, but whether it is important enough to be included into an encyclopedia. Wikipedia's standard of subject importance is called the "NOTABILITY". Wikipedia generally accepts only articles about subjects that are notable. But, Wikipedia has a very precise definition of the "notability". In Wikipedia's vocabulary, "notable" means "being significantly covered in independent reliable sources" (please, see: WP:42). Reliable sources are books, newspapers, magazines, trustworthy internet news portals, etc. Those sources must be cited in the article in order to prove that the subject is notable. You wrote an article about a company, but you did not cite any reliable independent sources to prove the notability of the subject. Nether did you explain (in the article itself) why this particular company is important to be included into an encyclopedia. So, the deletion of the article was totally legitimate. You are free to create the article about the company again, but be sure to cite reliable sources, or otherwise the article might be deleted again. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:04, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Jed made similar moans on my talk page. I restored your comment to here. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:18, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Vanjagenije, Thank you for your response. I finally got to read it after RHaworth deleted it within hours of your posting it. I note all of your comments and will resubmit with multiple reliable independent sources of the notability. It is a real shame that the admin in question believes it is a "moan" when people ask the reason why something was deleted within 24 hours, and then he deletes the response. Thanks again for the notes and I agree with your response. Appreciated,

Regarding Yuri Mraqqadi
Regarding the article on Yuri Mraqqadi, I have vastly improved the article. I don't think it should be deleted anymore, if there's still a problem let me know. Bye.


 * Hi! You have to understand that Wikipedia articles, and especially articles about living persons (so called WP:BLPs) need to be based upon reliable, independent sources with significant coverage ( please, see: WP:42 ). Articles about living persons that do not cite reliable sources may be deleted after 7 days according to the WP:BLP PROD policy. You added some citations (links) to the article "Yuri Mraqqadi", but those are nor reliable independent sources with significant coverage. This for example just mentions him in one sentence, that's not a significant coverage. This looks like some kind of fan page (not reliable source). This one is even a dead link. And YouTube videos are especially not independent sources, as those are videos of the artist himself. Reliable independent sources are books, newspapers, magazines, trusted internet news portals, and so, that discuss the artist in depth. You'll have to search for those reliable sources and to add citations to the article. Otherwise, the article might be deleted after seven days. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:20, 3 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I fixed the dead link, it's the same as the one in the references section. As for the so called "fan page" it's actually not his fan page as it is a website documenting various Arab artists. Finally, please realize that he already had an Arabic article for him, I was merely making an English counterpart for it, but apparently it is a very hard task to do. I just added a new link by a "professional" news agency, hope that's enough now. Moester101 (talk) 23:14, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Re: German Firefighting Fitness Badge
Hi Vanjagenije, thanks for your message. I'm wondering if you could help me with this article because you put "This article is being considered for deletion" on it. I'm new and would like to show what the situation is like in germay concerning sports in firefighting to international firefightig comrads. thx Spirobranchus (talk) 00:06, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi! I proposed the article for deletion. This process is called "wp:Articles for Deletion". The discussion about deleting the article is open here: Articles for deletion/German firefighting fitness badge. You may join the discussion. The article will be deleted only if a consensus between editors is reached for deletion. The reason i proposed the article for deletion is that I think that the subject of the article lacks the wp:Notability. Notability is one of the most important things in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and so it accepts only articles about notable subjects. Wikipedia has specific criteria for notability. In Wikipedia, the notability of the subject is proved if the subject is significantly discussed in several independent reliable sources (see: WP:42). Those sources need to be cited in the article, to prove that the subject is notable. Your article (German firefighting fitness badge) only cites the official web site of the subject, but that source is not independent. Article does not cite any reliable independent source that significantly discuss the subject. SO, the notability of the subject is not established. If you want to save the article from deletion, you have to find several independent reliable sources and cite them in the article. Reliable sources are like: newspapers, magazines, books, trustworthy internet news portals, etc. On the other side, blogs, internet forums, Facebook, Twitter, web sites related to the subject of the article, etc. are not reliable sources.

 * Ok, we are friends now :-) Page can only be locked (we call it "protected") by an administrator, and only in certain specific cases. For example, pages that are frequently vandalized or pages that are essential for proper functioning of Wikipedia might be protected. There are different levels of page protection (see here: WP:PROTECTION). Great majority of pages are not protected. If you write an article, you cannot (and should not) try to prevent other editors from editing the article. Remember, Wikipedia is free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Ownership of articles is not allowed (see: WP:OWNERSHIP). Vanjagenije (talk) 16:17, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

What if i create wiki page about my self.??? i've created before.but someone deleted it.he say that...person should be real. why?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Urvishpatel15 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi! You have to understand that Wikipedia has certain rules (called "policies"). If you create articles contrary to policies, they will be deleted. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a directory listing every single person on the Earth. Wikipedia only accepts articles about subjects that are notable . And, Wikipedia has very strict definition of "notability". Notability is proven by citing several reliable independent sources that significantly discuss the subject (see: WP:42). Are you really sure that you are notable person? Are there books, newspaper articles, news releases about you? If not, then you are probably not notable according to the Wikipedia definition of notability (me neither). Another important policy of Wikipedia is the NEUTRALITY. All articles have to be written from the neutral point of view. But, it is impossible to write about yourself from the neutral point of view. That is why writing autobiographic articles is strongly discouraged, even for notable persons (see: WP:AUTO). Such articles are almost always deleted.

 * Hi! I reviewed your article (Ransack-Raid the Rostrum) as part of a process called New pages patrol. Unfortunately, I had to propose your article for deletion because it does not follow Wikipedia's policies. I submitted the article to the Articles for deletion process, and if other editors agree with me, the article will be deleted. The discussion about deleting the article is open here: Articles for deletion/Ransack-Raid the Rostrum. The main problem with the article is the NOTABILITY. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia only accepts articles about subjects that are notable. And, Wikipedia has it's own definition of "notability". Subject is considered notable if there are several reliable independent sources that significantly discuss the subject ( please, see: WP:42 ). Those sources should be cited in the article to prove the notability. You did provide some links in the article, but these are not good as sources. Some of those just mention the festival in passing, without significant discussion (this and this), some do not even mention it (this and this). This is obviously written by the event organizers, so it's not an independent source. And this is some kind of Facebook fan page, certainly not reliable source of knowledge. You can save the article from deletion if you find and cite reliable independent sources that significantly cover the subject (like books, newspapers articles, trusted internet news portals, etc.). If there are no such sources, then the subject of the article (the festival) is simply not notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia. Another major problem with the article is that is not written neutraly, but rather promotional. It uses numerous peacock terms which should be not used in encyclopedic articles (like "one of the most competitive", "a spectacular format", "one of the premier rock fest", "thrills out the spectators", ...).


 * To add a picture to the article, read this carefully: WP:PIC. And, feel free to ask me for any kind of help. Vanjagenije (talk) 21:10, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Sir i have removed the peacock terms and changed it to something u described...but i am not getting much reference ... Jnanesh2014 (talk) 13:16, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, in that case the subject is probably not notable enough, otherwise the newspapers and internet portals would write about it in detail. Don't panic if your article gets deleted. You learned a lot about Wikipedia and I'm sure your next article would be much better. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:24, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Hormazd Narielwalla Collage Artist
Hello Vanjagenije.

Thank you very much for your comments on the page : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormazd_Narielwalla_Collage_Artist

Can you please guide me further on how to resolve the issues you have pointed out in your comments, for example how do I ensure the article is not orphaned, secondly, add the appropriate category, and thirdly, add links to other Wikipedia articles- I think I have resolved the last by adding two Wikipedia article links.: Wikipedia link to Dege and Skinner and to BBC Radio 94.9

For adding the article to a category I can tell you Hormazd is an Alumni of the London School of Fashion of the University of Arts, London. How do I add this category? I was right now browsing the wiki categories and I found this article could also fit into Creative Reuse because Narielwalla retrieves discarded tailoring patterns and adds artistic collages on these.Geven46 (talk) 22:21, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Please help.

Geven46 (talk) 22:07, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi! Thanks for showing such a great interest in editing Wikipedia! You can learn here how to de-orphan the article here: WP:DE-ORPHAN. Here, you can learn everything about categories: WP:FAQ/Categorization, and here you can learn about wikilinks: Help:Link (you did not add the links the right way). Those pages will explain you the process much better than I can explain. If you still have some questions after you read those pages, feel free to ask me. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:18, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you again very much.........please read my edited comments above and help, especially about adding a catergory. Besides, I have added some wiki links as detailed above.......would that make you rephrase your comments? Thanks again.

Geven46 (talk) 22:24, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I understand. "Creative reuse" is an article, it's not a category. And, where did you add wikilinks? There are still none in the "Hormazd Narielwalla" article. I also moved your article to "Hormazd Narielwalla", as that is a proper way to name the article per our Naming conventions. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:28, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Vanjagenije

Thank you so very much for your immediate response. You can understand from my questioning that this is all far too technical for me, about adding a category and de orphaning the article.

About adding wiki links please see reference No 4 and reference No 19.

Thanks again. Geven46 (talk) 22:34, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I understand. You added links as references, not as wikilinks. That is not right way to link to other Wikipedia articles. Did you even try to read Help:Link? I turned those two into wikilinks for you. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:38, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Vanjagenije,

Thank you heaps and tons..........I am 68 years old and find it too cumbersome and tedious and get tired of reading the long lengthy instructions of any Wiki help pages......wish you guys could have answers/instructions in short easy to understand and execute guidelines.

Thank you for turning those Wiki articles into wikilinks.

Similarly I would be most grateful if you de orphan the article and add a category.

I have also placed one more Wiki article as an external link, please convert this to wikilink, thanks again.

@Vanjagenije please look at the page again, I think I have de orphaned it by inserting a link of Savile Row tailoring to which Hormazd is associated, introduced categories.

Please look again and let me get your very valued advice and OK ...........thank you

Geven46 (talk) 23:17, 20 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I added much more wikilinks to the article. Some of them are read, which means that corresponding article does not exist, but, it's OK. The article is not orphan any more. Some other articles now have links to this article (see: Special:WhatLinksHere/Hormazd_Narielwalla). Article is now added to several categories (You can see categories at the bottom of the article). It looks much better now. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:20, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello

Thank you for the msg left on my page.

 * Hi! The basic principle of Wikipedia is that every article should be based on several reliable independent sources that significantly cover the subject. This is especially true for articles about living people (so called BLPs). Those sources should be cited in the article. See here for more information: WP:42. At the moment I tagged the article Sergo Grigorian for deletion, it did not cite any source. The article must cite several reliable sources that are independent of the subject and that significantly discuss his life and work. Every statement in the article must be supported with citations of reliable sources. That is the most important principle of Wikipedia. You added two "citations", but those are of no help. One is a link to the site http://redavantgarde.com/, which has nothing about Grigorian's life and work. Except that, you cited the book "Soviet Posters: The Sergo Grigorian Collection". As I understand, that book is about the posters and has nothing about Grigorian's life and work neither. You have to find reliable independent sources about his life and work and to write the article according to those sources, and to cite sources. That is the only way to make Wikipedia articles verifiable and neutral. Otherwise, the article might be deleted (see: WP:BLP PROD). Vanjagenije (talk) 20:18, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Hi! Wikipedia does not have any system to automatically review every edit. Edits are generally not reviewed. Only some articles (less than 1% of the articles) are protected, so that every edit must be reviewed by a reviewer (this is called Pending changes review). There are also edit filters which are able to identify some frequent problems (vandalism). I looked into your edits, and I don't find any problem with them. It seams to me that you understand the verifiability policy. Maybe you should format your citations better. You added citations to the article (here), but what you added is a bare URL. Bare URL are not recomanded because of the link rot. Find out here how to properly format citations: Help:Referencing for beginners. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:45, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. Will try to improve my citations further. I have also gave it a shot to create a new article and have submitted it for review. Its been around 20 days now but nothing has moved. Infact the number goes on increasing. Can you assist me on this too. Thanks in advance Chints247 (talk) 11:01, 22 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Are you talking about this article: User:Chints247/sandbox? You have to understand that WP:AFC depends on volunteers, so it might be slow. I can give you my opinion about the draft article, so that you can improve it before it's reviewed. I noticed several issues:
 * There is an external link in the body of the article, which should be removed. All the external links should be located at the end of the article, in the "external links" section (see: WP:External links).
 * Also, all references are bare URLs (I already explained you about that). These should be properly formatted.
 * In the "references" section, there is a reference to another Wikipedia article. Wikipedia does not allow self-referencing (see: WP:CIRCULAR). This should be removed and turned into a wikilink.
 * Not all the sources you cited are reliable independent sources (see: WP:42). For example, you cited the official web site of the company, which is not an independent source. Also, this source is not reliable, as it is a web site of another company. Basically, you cites only two reliable independent sources, so you should try to find and cite more sources.
 * You have to use sources, but you have to rewrite their text in your own words, not to copy-paste their text (that would be a copyright issue, see: WP:COPYPASTE). For example, your sentence ("Galfar has today grown into one of the largest Construction companies in the Middle East with a turnover of over US$1 billion") is almost identical to the source ("...Galfar Engineering & Contracting SAOG, has today grown into one of the largest construction companies in the Middle East with a turnover of over US$1 billion."). This might be regarded as copyright infringement, so you should rephrase the sentence to make it different from the source, yet to contain the same information.
 * I hope those suggestions are helpful. I understand that editing Wikipedia might look far too complicated at the beginning, but most of those issues are related to sources and citations, and are not unique to Wikipedia. You would have to follow the same rules if you would, for example, want to write an article for any serious scientific journal. Anyway, feel free to ask me if you need further clarification.

Hi, Really appreciate your assistance. I have made changes as per your feedback. Looking forward to get is approved now. It would be my first every article. Excited! Chints247 (talk) 07:13, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Football Club Strip - Cant add
Firstly thanks for your welcome

As i have created the page for the female side of Middlesbrough FC Ladies i was looking at ways to include the strip and colours - however i am unable to access the already in place Wiki entry for the mens team (so i can copy the already in place coding)

The female side plays in exactly the same colours in their home and away games as the mens side so how easily is this to do / change myself please - any guidance would be appreciated

Thanks Andylambmedia (talk) 11:59, 23 December 2014 (UTC)


 * How do you mean "you are unable to access" the men's team article? It's here: Middlesbrough F.C.. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:51, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

thank you yes - it didnt work on my phone but now realise that best to do these things online :) Andylambmedia (talk) 11:25, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

False admin userbox
Hello, I see that you have recently warned the user about having a false admin userbox on his userpage. I myself was initially fooled by seeing that userbox there (although only temporarily). It has been there since the page was created on the 1st December and has been viewed 250 times. So we are probably not the only people who have noticed it. Ignoring the other userboxes which have been copied, is it acceptable to remove the references to being an admin from the page? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:55, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi! The userbox was removed by User:Ricky81682 from whose user page it was copied (diff). Vanjagenije (talk) 12:48, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the update! AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 06:52, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Sealed with a Kiss
Thanks for your message. Actuially I had added far more but were removed by a colleague for non-notability concerns. I didn't bother to reinstate... But here for your own interest since you do appreciate the song the deleted infos:

QUOTE Other well-known covers include ones by Chris de Burgh on his 2008 album Footsteps, Cliff Richard and The Lettermen. It was covered by Agnetha Fältskog (Sweden, formerly of ABBA), Dana Winner (Belgium) and Silent Sanctuary (Philippines). Zit Remedy (or The Zits) also performed the song as part of the ''Degrassi Junior High TV series.


 * Languages
 * In French as "Derniers Baisers" by Laurent Voulzy, C Jérôme and by Chats Sauvages
 * In German as "Einen Sommer Lang" recorded first by Brian Hyland. Other German versions were recorded by Belgian artiste Dana Winner.
 * In Italian as "Sigillata Con Un Bacio". It was recorded in 1962 by Luigi Fiumicelli, the same year it was a hit in English for Brian Hyland. It was also covered by Franco Battiato

Instrumental covers were recorded by UK's The Shadows and the Swedish band The Spotnicks.
 * Instrumental versions

UNQUOTE

All these infos are sadly gone now. But I can't be too bothered. So many edits are revised I just don't care much really to make an extra effort to keep them. I add them. If removed, bye bye... On to other edits I say and move on werldwayd (talk) 19:25, 27 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks, ! I just want to say that I saw what happened, and I agree with the editor who removed this content. Those covers are really not notable. I think they fail WP:COVERSONG, and you did not cite any sources to prove otherwise. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:49, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Administrator
I think you would make a wonderful Administrator. Specifically, you have (a) a flawless block history, (b) have been incredibly committed to work on New Pages Patrol and as a Tea House host, (c) have an easy-going and relatable way of interacting with other editors, (d) have more than 33K edits over 8 years. I don't have the cache to successfully nominate you myself, but I wanted to see if you would be amenable if I solicited Juliancolton to nominate you? DOCUMENT ★  ERROR  02:17, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot. I would like to be an administrator, of course. But, I really never thought about myself being a proper candidate. Maybe I'm underestimating myself, but I never thought I did anything special here. I saw some of those WP:RFAs previously, and I saw the candidates are usually asked to give some evidence about themselves being involved in "dispute resolution" and "building consensus". I really don't know what evidence I might present. I never wrote a featured article or made any similar achievement. What I do here is a bunch of small fixes, I never did anything exceptional. Anyway, if you are sure that I'm good candidate, feel free to ask some of the administrators, I have no objections. Vanjagenije (talk) 02:39, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Your template
I will decide what language I converse in. On wikipedia. Off wikipedia. And anywhere else. If there is anything I have said to anyone in a language that you dont understand that you think you need to know, then you can ask me to translate it for you and if you do soe relatively politely I am likely to accommodate you. I do however not appreciate your butting in to admonish me on how to have discussions on my own talkpage. Before giving advice on good manners maybe you should read Don't template the regulars.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 03:27, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, sorry. I apologize for being impolite. After all, we should always assume the good faith. (Just for the record, if someone is reading, we're talking about this.) Vanjagenije (talk) 04:00, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

email

 * Thanks, I read your e-mail message. I don't like to reply to Wikipedia e-mails, because I don't like to make my e-mail address public. I just want to tell you that I understood your message, and I'll be monitoring the issue closely. Thanks! Vanjagenije (talk) 15:28, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Bijelo Dugme
Aploudovao sam novu verziju omota albuma Bijelo Dugme zato što je "retuširana", "ispeglana"; potiče sa bloga Jugorock Forever, a njegov autor predano radi na vraćanju punog sjaja omotima domaćih ploča, i verzije omota koje mogu da se nađu na njegovom blogu su, tvrdim, najbolje verzije omota koje mogu da se pronađu na internetu. Nemam energije da na stranici za diskusiju objašnajavam zašto sam aploudovao novu verziju omota, ali čisto da znaš... Što se tiče veličine, to bar nije problem, uvek će se naći neko ko će je smanjiti, i zaista mi je teško da poverujem da neko sa naših prostora brine o takvim stvarima...

Pierra
Hey,

I am not the same person as User:Pierraakwero. She tried creating her own page, but failed. the url wasn't /wiki/Pierra_Akwero, and since writing your own biographies is strongly discouraged, i decided to create the proper one for her. The other reason i created the /wiki/Pierra_Akwero page is because i could not edit the page she created. Whenever i tried to save, i got some kind of error. I hope this is okay. You can deleted her page, User:pierraakwero. It is not really a wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danogwok (talk • contribs) 08:46, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Changing a flag in the info box to a logo :
Might seem really simple to do but i am trying to change the image of the GB flag on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrey_Storm - that someone has posted to the clubs image which has the URL http://surreystormnetball.co.uk/images/content/surreyst14-content-logo-main.png

there is obviously a really easy way to do this but i cant find it - would embedding the image work and what would be the best wiki code to do this

thanks again — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andylambmedia (talk • contribs) 15:52, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, ! As I can see, the problem was solved by . Wikipedia does not allow embedding external images. Image has to be uploaded to Wikipedia (or to Wikimedia Commons if it's free) and than used in the article. See here how to upload an image: Uploading images.

George Zabelka page deletion
I hope I am using the correct channel to contact you but a page called George Zabelka was deleted yesterday for apparent copyright. I actually got an email from the author asking me to put the information on Wikipedia. What is the process as I have spent a few hours trying to figure this whole thing out? I wish to contest the speedy deletion as there is no copyright to this article as the author does not put a copyright to his papers. An email has also been sent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org PLEASE can you remove the speedy deletion tag. Chidiumeano (talk) 02:45, 17 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi! Wikipedia is a so called "free encyclopedia". That means that Wikipedia's content may be used by anybody for any purpose, not needing any permission. When you write something in Wikipedia, you agree that your text may be used by anybody with no permission. If you upload a photo you made, you agree that it may be used by anybody without permission. This concept is called "free content". So, for that reason, you are not allowed to copy someone else's text to Wikipedia without obtaining a permission from the author of the text. In order to copy someone else's text (or photo) to Wikipedia, there must be an evidence that author of the text has given the permission that his text may be used by anybody for any purpose (this is called a "free license"). You wrote an article titled "George Benedict Zabelka", but most of the article was copied from this page. That page is tagged at the bottom with "Copyright © 2015. All Rights Reserved." This means that the text is not released under a free license. If you have evidence that the author actually did release the text under a free license (for example, he sent an e-mail with a permission to you), then you have to send this evidence to the Wikipedia's OTRS team. See here how to send permission and what it should contain: WP:DONATETEXT. And, remember: Wikipedia only accepts text released under a free license (that means: anybody may use it for any purpose, even commercial). If the author just wrote to you: "You may use my text in Wikipedia", that's not enough. He has to agree to release it under a free license. I hope I helped you. Feel free to ask me if you have any other question. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:49, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
