Regarding "Ways to improve Natascha Drubek"
Hi Mduvekot,

Thanks for your comments and sorry for my slow response. I removed some sources which seemed to me to be potentially non-independent. I wanted to ask if this should cover it or if I should find more third-party sources?

Cheers,

Mark Gottlieb (Literary Agent) Speedy deletion
Hey he is highly notable within the literary agents and belongs to one of the oldest firms, I missed who placed that tag of notability, he is notable for sure, you can check his presence within the market and field. I can enhance it by adding more resources. Also, his firm is very old and his father is from the field. HeatherMPinchbeck (talk) 20:50, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello . Notability is not inherited. Neither from a parent, nor an employer. If you have references to substantial coverage in independent, reliable sources, then please add those. Mduvekot (talk) 20:54, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Yes I am looking, and his firm is old and among other agents, he is much popular, I came across that list and I looked and I found him as a current literary agent left in the USA. Anyway, I am looking for more thanksHeatherMPinchbeck (talk) 21:03, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

Pallet Rack Safety Bolts - Edits
Hi MDUVEKOT,

Thank you for taking the time to review the Pallet Rack Safety Bolts page. I understood your concerns and removed anything in question. Can you please review the listing to make sure all proper changes were made and then the page can be published complete. I made sure it was completely informational as intended

I am new to this process so any extra help would be appreciated.

Thanks again

Pallet Rack Safety Bolts - Second Request
Hi Mduvekot This is my second request in reguards to the page i created Pallet Rack Safety Bolts. Please know that I took your recommendations serious and clean up the listing. Can you please remove or review so that it can have the warnings at the top removed. The page now is ALL informational and very helpful for people looking to learn more about the product. Can you help me do this so the listing can be complete and a useful tool for the WIKI users?

Thank you in advance. Kasanezky (talk) 01:53, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * We're all just volunteers around here. Well, most of us are. I'm not removing the COI tag. You have done nothing to clarify your apparent conflict of interest. Please be mindful that undisclosed paid editing is strictly prohibited. See Paid-contribution disclosure. As for the page itself; it is now basically a product listing and entirely unsuitable as encyclopedic content. I will remove the non-free tag, because I can't find any signs of the text being copyrighted material. Mduvekot (talk) 13:33, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Mduvekot -

Thank you for taking the time to work through this with me. I am a new contributor to WIKI and only wanted to add this item or product to wiki as an informational page helping people understand what a pallet rack safety bolt is. I get the question a lot. I am a distributor of the product for myself (no one is paying me) and that is why I have expert information on the product and feel that I could write a great explanation of what the item is and the description with benefits etc.. The information I provided is written with no intention to convince or sway people about anything but provide helpful safety information on the Pallet Rack Safety Bolt to the public. It is a common warehouse product similar to other items listed on here. I removed the features list as I can see how this may seem like a product listing format. But I kindly ask again that you review this page and remove the COI tag after seeing that I do not have a conflict of interest because I am not selling this item to anyone in this article just an expert in the field writing this description based on my experience and knowledge to help others not for my personal gain or advancement.

Thank you for the recommendations, Mduvekot. I don't really have more info for this page. The information on this page was directly copied from the The Kids of Carcassonne page.

Apologies
I struck some words that I wrote in response to your comment on AfD. I understand where you are coming from and I didn't need to lecture you on sarcasm and tone: I am often guilty of sarcasm myself. Just wanted to say: truce, please. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 23:33, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * First of all; I admire your work. I very much think of you as an ally, and I hope I am that to you too. I found purpose in supporting articles about women artists who have spent a lifetime making work that is under-reported and difficult to source. My experience with WP:NPP has convinced me that Wikipedia is at serious risk of being usurped by moneyed interests that will ultimately destroy it if we don't act now. I think paid editing should be banned. I also think that helping a paid editor get their article published by fixing it to meet a narrow interpretation of our policies and guidelines is misguided, and does nothing to deter paid editing. It also means we just did their job, and they got paid for our work. My (deleted) initial response to you here was wrong and inappropriate. I am truly sorry. We should not have to disagree. If you can forgive me for inappropriately using irony as a rhetorical device and help me make my point more succinctly and effectively, then I really do appreciate that. My best wishes, Mduvekot (talk) 04:19, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I really appreciate this. It's totally OK. I understand where you are coming from. I didn't need to get snarky myself: and I did! That's why after I posted that, I wrote you and struck out my comment. I was wrong. On a different note, I'm not as aware of the all of paid editing issues, since I am more entrenched in other areas. But I would like to learn more about it if you have any good sources to share. Thanks for understanding and I'm glad we have talked about this! Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:14, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

. On my  talk  page  there is a very recent long(ish) and fairly  important  discussion  on  this very  topic among experienced admins. My own view will come across as perfectly  clear, but  there are some people who  think that  in spite  of our  work being  voluntary, we should help  to keep  articles by paid editors, and keep  articles that  may  not  be overtly  spammy but  which  serve no  other purpose than increasing  a person's or company's web presence for promotional  purposes. The thread is at: User:_Marcomgirl, and the current COI discussion  is at Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard. You will  also  certainly want  to  read this Wikipedia article. When you have done all  that I  think  you  will  be armed with  all  you  need to reinforce your opinion and then  help  where help  is needed. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:35, 9 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks, ! Will read. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 23:41, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

NPR
Thank you for all your work reviewing new pages. I just read an older post of yours again.
 *  If the WMF sponsored a group of our most experienced reviewers to go to Wikimania and produce a set of training materials, and brought another 50 up to speed, we could double our output and crush the backlog in a month. Over the years I've spent a lot of money travelling around the world to Wikimanias. Last year the WMF gave me a scholarship to go. The WMF blocked my talk on New Page Patrolling at the last minute. From my point of view it turned out to be a waste of time going halfway round the world to Italy. This year I put in an application for a scholarship to do exactly what you suggest and it was denied. I can't afford the $2,000 it would cost me to go to Montreal.
 * I can't wait for the day that we run a robot that sends any unsourced article (back) to Draft without human intervention. This is an excellent suggestion, but at the moment there are too many users saying new articles should not be moved to draft at all. We nevertheless have that brilliantly useful tool at User:Evad37/MoveToDraft. Use it with discretion.
 * For now, if I could have better filters in the curation tool, that would help too. We're working on it. This could be done sooner than you think. If you have a specific suggestion for a filter please add it to the appropriate section at WP:PCSI.

has also made the following suggestions for automated tasks: But I don't think the have been added to that page yet. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:53, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Move unreferenced articles more that 10 days old to draft space.
 * Check for copyright violations and mark them for deletion.
 * Find G4 candidates and nominate for deletion.
 * Automatically review articles that have at least one tag and have been edited by at least three extended autoconfirmed editors.
 * Triage articles into categories (low, medium, high risk of being undesirable). This could be done by evaluating the number of editors of an article, number of other articles edited by the article creator, article title appearance in Google search, etc.

"Maintenance template" Andreas Bummel
The English version of the article about Andreas Bummel is a translation of the German article that was written by several authors and has met the criteria of relevance for years. Therefore, I think it is reasonable to remove the maintenance template. Best wishes, Filberbirb (talk) 10:31, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello The  template says nothing about notability. The issue is verifiability and neutrality. I disagree that because a German article has existed since 2007, the English version should not have a maintenance tag pointing out that the sources are closely connected to the subject. I would suggest that you try to find more references to substantial coverage in independent, reliable sources.
 * A note about translations: Translations are derivative works. I have added an attribution and made an effort to get the version of the source text you used right; feel free to correct it, but I thought it was safe to assume you had used the 1 April 2017‎ version in German when you saved the translation on 26 June 2017 since that the most recent version was at the time. All the best, Mduvekot (talk) 10:43, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

So could you please send the article to my E-mail address so that I can continue to improve it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alicialiu1994 (talk • contribs) 02:24, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update: Technology update:
 * The new page backlog is currently at 18,511 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
 * Some editors are committing to work specifically on patrolling new pages on 15 July. If you have not reviewed new pages in a while, this might be a good time to be involved. Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.
 * Several requests have been put into Phabractor to increase usability of the New Pages Feed and the Page Curation toolbar. For more details or to suggest improvements go to Page Curation/Suggested improvements
 * The tutorial has been updated to include links to the following useful userscripts. If you were not aware of them, they could be useful in your efforts reviewing new pages:
 * User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js adds a link to the new pages feed and page curation toolbar to your top toolbar on Wikipedia
 * User:The Earwig/copyvios.js adds a link in your side toolbox that will run the current page through

General project update:
 * Following discussion at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers, New pages patrol/Noticeboard has been marked as historical. Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers is currently the most active central discussion forum for the New Page Patrol project. To keep up to date on the most recent discussions you can add it to your watchlist or visit it periodically.
