"Consistancy"
We seriously don't re-explain Android on every other Android phone article, we usually just go over the software features which are specific to that phone. Additionally, why isn't there an iPhone accessories article like for the iPad? ViperSnake151  Talk  23:04, 12 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't understand why we don't include the basic functions of the OS on Android articles. The article should be able to standalone and the reader should understand it in full. As for the iPhone accessories, it's been started, albeit not containing much info. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 23:08, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Charley Marcuse article
Greetings,

Zach thanks for taking the time out to look over my article. Another editor checked over my article and simply advised that I add reference which were not on my first draft. You denied my request and it would be really helpful to know why and how I can change things that you found wrong. I am really confused about who decides what is being posted because they seems to be different people with a say so for what is added even after I was told to make only one correction.

 * You should add inline citations, and the article, especially the first paragraph, sounds like an advertisement. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 11:11, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

New Article about Robert Heller
You apparently declined the article for subm,ission about Robert Heller.

The only reason given is that the article is not properly referenced.

Please note that every single sentence in the article has a footnote, pointing the reader to a reliable source, such as Who is Who, a prominent newspapers, such as Fortune or the American Banker, or a reputable publication, such as the Biographiocal Dictionary of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.

I am somewhat surprised that you do not find that as adequate documentation.

Let me point out that some articles already published in Wikipedia do not have a single reference. See for instance the article about Laurence Meyer. Not that this dismal standard should set the bar, but do we really need more references than one per sentence????

I would apprecite it if you would reconsider your rejection or offer some substantive and detailed comments on how to improve the article.

Many thanks for your help!

K.

 * The problem is that it doesn't meet Wikipedia's standard for inline citations. You can check out how to do that by clicking here. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 08:39, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Zonal Ne.Ph.R.O Score
Zach- You say that we do not have reliable source, however, this scoring system was just accepted into Clinical Genitourinary Cancer (http://www.clinical-genitourinary-cancer.com/), a high powered journal specializing in urological cancers. This scoring system was also recently featured in Renal and Urology news (see http://www.renalandurologynews.com/new-renal-scoring-system-predicts-nss-outcomes/article/311005/?DCMP=EMC-RENALUROLOGY_TODAYSUPDATE&CPN=run_viauro&spMailingID=6937655&spUserID=MzE1NjU1MjczODAS1&spJobID=87959162&spReportId=ODc5NTkxNjIS1)

Thanks, Adam

 * The article needs a few more sources (5 or 6 should do for now), and a few more details on its impact on the medical field. Also, don't forget to add inline citations. You can get info on how to do that here. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 02:43, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

This has been updated. Please re-review at your convenience. Thanks Zach.

Appreciated your comments on the Yuva Express page & noted you would like some improvements. Can you be a little more specific on what is needed? Superfast1111 (talk) 17:17, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Apple TV 5.2.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Apple TV 5.2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:58, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

In-line citations, backlog drive
Dear Zach: I see that you have been doing some reviewing at the Afc. That's great, because the backlog of submissions is gigantic right now.

You declined an article about pottery for not having inline citations; just so you'll know for next time, inline citations aren't really required for acceptance in Afc unless (1) it's a biography of a living person, or (b) it includes contentious material, and people might disagree over it. Otherwise, references at the bottom of the article are okay; we're just trying to get the articles to "start" class, and let the community take over improving them from there.

I hope you will sign up for the backlog elimination drive that we are having in October. I will paste the information below. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 04:25, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

 WikiProject Articles for creation Backlog Elimination Drive WikiProject AFC is holding a one month long Backlog Elimination Drive! The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from March 1st, 2013 – March 31st, 2013.

Awards will be given out for all reviewers participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive. There is a backlog of over 2000 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the drive's page and help out!


 * Couldn't everything in the article be contested? For example, how do I know that scholars believed merchants utilized it? Where is it confirmed?
 * And yes, I'll be coming to the BLED. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 11:33, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Dear Zach: Of course, any fact could be in error and should be supported, but if you read WP:MINREF you'll see that it doesn't have to be with inline citations except in a few specific circumstances.  At Afc, we're just trying to get the article to a state where it won't be deleted if released into the wild. The project comes under a lot of criticism if we keep articles past that level, because once in the main encyclopedia they have a better chance to be improved by various other editors.  You can always add a  tag, or if you see a specific fact that you feel could be wrong, a  tag.  This is not just my opinion; it's been discussed many times on the project talk and help pages.  I find it hard myself to let an article go that I know could be better, but what happens sometimes is that the new editors become discouraged and just go away,  At one point we had 80,000 abandoned articles in the project!  Because of this we accept an article as soon as it meets the very minimum standards in the policy pages.  Okay, I am getting longwinded; I hope that you will take this in a positive way, because the Afc project desperately needs needs participating reviewers, particularly sensible ones as you appear to be. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 12:32, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see. I'll accept it and add the  tag from now on. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 13:09, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Article Jim Calarco
I cited many more web pages than IMDB and included at least two artcles supporting the awards and Jim's career. What is wrong with the articles I submitted, that are NOT IMDB, what more do you need? You have to be clear because I did cite many pages and at least two articles. To be clear this is not a film, this is an actor, instructor and local leader for film and television.

 * You need more secondary sources. Check out this page to find them. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 10:06, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

ShadowGlider (talk) 01:56, 21 September 2013 (UTC)ShadowGlider: I have three excellent ones and found many more. The one's I cited in the first place are perfect covering every award and most of the contributions to film and television, you clearly did not read them and as I new person I did not reference them as good as I have now.

Any references, cites or footnots that support notability are numbered. Supporting information such as the subject's facebook page indicating his home town and his resume, that the subject himself filled out is now ONLY external links. Any reliable, support and notable sources that mention the subject and recognize notability are now footnotes. The three sources I originally supplied show notability and by wikipedia definition are reliable sources. I also found more sources supporting notability and career recognician. Can you please check my sources, particularly the footnote numbered references and tell me if they are enough. ShadowGlider (talk) 01:41, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Well the footnotes have definitely been improving, so that's good. Just get rid of the hyperlinked (not wikilinked) stuff and I think we can publish this to the main space. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 14:35, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, I will fix that right away. I think the information is helpful but if you prefer I omit it then I will. Thank you again. Have a great SundayShadowGlider (talk) 23:33, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Post Roofs
Hi Zach, Could you please tell me how to upload pictures and references to go with my article? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Post_Roofs

Also, the article contains 3 separate inventions... The 4 post roof, Sheeve assembly header, and insulated modular office panel. Would it be better to create a separate article for each?

Thank you! I am new to all of this. TheWebmaster1111 (talk) 18:43, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Welcome to Wikipedia dude! We can't publish an article without some secondary sources. You can check out how to add references by clicking here. As for the photos, can you post the links to them here? We need to make sure that they are can be uploaded over at Wikimedia Commons, or can provide a non-free use rationale.

Regarding the rejection of article on Againn
Hi Zach,

I submitted an article few weeks back and just noticed that it was rejected. I went through the reasons for rejection and it mentions notability as as issue. I am not sure what evidence would be required to prove notability. I have already given the link of India's three biggest online magazines. All the three sources are independent and neutral. The reliability of the sources can be verified by checking their wiki pages. Additionally, all three have done atleast one full page article on Againn.

I think this info should suffice to prove notability. Let me know if you think there is more info required.

 * Well the thing with notability is "how is this influential? why is this important?" You stated in the article that Againn has "20 leading e-commerce players as its clients." Could you tell what these "leading e-commerce players" are? That alone would establish some notability. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 06:22, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Zach,


 * Most of the 20 clients of Againn have their dedicated wiki pages so i guess this clearly makes them notable and in turn Againn notable. I am trying to edit the article to include the client names but unfortunately now the article has become too complicated (with all the link n all). So I am giving the client list here for your reference. Will this be fine?

Bisu (festival)
I've just removed some copyvio from this article. Do you do routine checks for copyvio? I also see the phrase "It should be noted" is used - see WP:NOTED. Oh, hell, I interrupted myself while writing this to see if I'd cleared it all up, and discovered we have both wasted our time. This is a duplicate article, we already have Vishu. I'll leave you to redirect if appropriate and let the editor know. Dougweller (talk) 10:25, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I also thought it was a duplicate of Vishu, however it seems that there's a plethora of extremely similar festivals in the region, and Bisu is just another one of them. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 12:57, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * We have "Bisu (Tulu: ????) or Bisu Parba is a New Year festival (Tulu Posa Varsha) celebrated in the Tulu Nadu region" and "Vishu is a Hindu festival celebrated in the Indian state of Kerala and in the Tulunadu" - the basic difference being a slight difference in spelling and Vishu is mentioned as also being celebrated in Kerala. They use almost identical language in talking about the kani (it isn't Vishukkani so far as my search indicates, but it can be "Vishu kani". One of the sources of copyvio was which is about Vishu. The other source,, says "Bisu Parba also called Visu". Dougweller (talk) 13:17, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * My bad. Let's make it a redirect then. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 16:16, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * No problems, thanks very much. Dougweller (talk) 04:55, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
