Speedy deletion declined: Avakin life
Hello Waggie. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Avakin life, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 cannot be applied to software. Thank you.  So Why  18:26, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Theater of All Possibilities
Hi Waggie

re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theater_of_All_Possibilities

I've added a reference in the New York Times to the opening sentence, as well as another to a book on Biosphere 2. Do you feel this is sufficient now to be able to remove the tag?

Thanks Aarkangel (talk) 18:01, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello, hi there, thanks for your message. To answer your question, no, because there's still three paragraphs of content that isn't sourced. Sorry! Waggie (talk) 18:35, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

Mortimer Common and MFM
regarding the other editor, she has removed links to a village music club, and a voluntary organisation that informs the village what is going on, whilst leaving the cricket club alone. this is double standards and non value add in anyone's book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Njthec (talk • contribs) 18:49, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for your post on my talk page! I only see "Mortimer Village Website" and "Royal Berkshire History: Stratfield Mortimer", both which do seem to add encyclopedic value. Best wishes! Waggie (talk) 19:12, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Njthec (talk) 21:17, 20 May 2017 (UTC) because someone else -Christine someone it seems- meanwhile decided to remove the village partnership on the wrong understanding they were commercial/soap box and decided that the cricket club better go too. I live in the village I know the facts. presumably you don't live here and are just quoting a rule book. I didn't realise the censorship level here in the name of rules - wrongly applied. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Njthec (talk • contribs) 21:12, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

New Page Review - Newsletter No.4
Hello ,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just reviews, the  backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Stay up to date with recent new page developments and have your say, read THIS PAGE. If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, go here. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:43, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Request on 21:02:21, 23 May 2017 for assistance on AfC submission by DayanaFabiche
You left this comment on the draft Wikipedia article I have been working on "Press releases and the company's own website are not reliable sources for content in a Wikipedia article. Interviews also do not help establish the company's notability (a quote or two is fine, but it must primarily be fact-checked and journalistic coverage). We need comprehensive, journalistic coverage of the company to meet the criteria for inclusion."

If not by the company's own website, how would you suggest I get basic company information? That's the one source where to get the most up to date information, what do you suggest I do for improving the article's notability? What sources do you consider to be of journalistic coverage?

Thank you

 * Hello, a company website is acceptable for information that is completely uncontroversial and incontrovertible, things like the CEO's name, or headquarters location. For more information about sourcing, you can read our page on reliable sources. Some often used sources are media organizations like CNN, BBC, India Times, FOX News, etc. That said, industry journals are acceptable as well. The key indicators (as describe on the reliable sources page I linked to) are whether it's journalism, it's independent (not paid press, press release, or interview), and whether the source has a history of editorial control and fact checking. Essentially, you're looking for a minimum of 3 sources that fit that definition that have discussed Tourico Holidays comprehensively - a few sentences in a multiple paragraph article isn't enough. Also, if you are affiliated with Tourico Holidays in any way, there are some policies you need to be aware of. Wikipedia requires that you declare any affiliation with the subject of an article you edit. Please see more information on our page about conflicts of interest. I hope that helps explain. If not, please feel free to "Edit source" above, scroll all the way to the bottom of the text box, and add your question below this. Don't forget to sign your message with ~ .

AfD and Prod
Just to clarify, the rule is ", PROD is one-shot only: It must not be used for pages PRODed before or previously discussed at AfD or FfD." It doesn't matter if kept, deleted, or non-consensus. The mere fact that there was a discussion means that the deletion is not uncontroversial. ST is not always right, but he was this time.Anyway, NA improved the article greatly.

 * Hello, I did re-read WP:PROD and obviously dropped the matter, even though I happen to disagree with the way PROD is worded (but that is a matter for an RfC). Are you following my contribs or something? Waggie (talk) 20:19, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * no, I'm following someone else's. and for good reason: if I have time, I hope to rewrite the copyvios rather than just remove them. But I go wherever things lead me--if you look at my contributions, you'll see the variety. Personally, I never worry about declined prods--I just use the same reason, at AfD. DGG ( talk ) 20:25, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply, . I support the idea of rewriting copyvios, though I often don't have time to. However, that doesn't resolve the underlying problem. Waggie (talk) 20:30, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
