Aris Fakinos new article.
Hi there. I am the guy that submitted that one. First things first, I know it is in the scant side. I have seen worse, but it definitely has got a ton of improvements to make.

The fact is that, I am not an specialist on this writer; I just read one of his books when i was a kid. And I was surprised that he was not even mentioned at the English Wikipedia. I have been searching on the net for more info to add to the article, but the writer turned out to be far more obscure than I thought.

My hopes were that maybe if the article got posted, I would get the foot on the door, and open the chance of more knowledgeable people than my might get it to a more decent standard. But letting it in absolute darkness, kind of limits a lot that possibility.

Everything I got is in there. So I may trim the text to the handful of things that are quoted on the web pages I found (and discard much of the content that actually makes the French Wikipedia article).

Obviously, this is the best I can do, so if posting it as it is is that is not an option, the good old Aris Fakinos will be kept in the dark.

Thank you for your time. Best Regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Basajaun (talk • contribs) 23:20, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I have found several sources with a web search, it's just that they're not in English. If you can understand them, then add the content to the article. Having a ton of secondary sources is a large step towards proving notability. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 16:27, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I represent the publisher, Corax, and all copyright belongs to us. We are happy to release the information on Wikipedia. Many thanks!

 * The information from your publisher is non-free. You need to reword the plot summary in order to include it. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 18:44, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Access Control Technology
Hi Zach, I've mentioned an article which you accepted from AfC, Access Control Technology, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation. It looks very weakly sourced (nothing I would call reliable) and definitely doesn't meet WP:NCORP yet, in my view. Maybe you'll want to comment on the thread? Sionk (talk) 13:24, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I have commented on the thread, with an explanation of what happened. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 18:46, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Oman national football Team
In the recent call-up section in this article I have edited, I have typed the teams that these players last played against. But that is not being shown in the article. Why?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oman_national_football_team#Recent_Callups — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alhosniomani20 (talk • contribs) 14:36, 9 October 2013 (UTC)


 * You're using the Nat fs g player template, which does not allow you put the team they last played against. You'd need to use a table for that. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 09:08, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

tags on iPhone 5C
hi! i noticed you added some maintenance tags to the article iPhone 5C. the tags were later removed because they were not explained at the time that they were added. i opened a discussion about the appropriateness of the tags in a new talk page section. since i do not feel that i am particularly knowledgeable or interested in this subject, i thought it might be best to ask you to contribute to the discussion. thanks, ~ Boomur &#91;☎&#93; 01:01, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Rudolph Bonaparte
Hi Zach,

You commented that my article on Rudolph Bonaparte needed secondary sources. I cited webpages from the University of Texas, University of California, and the National Academy of Engineers -- can you give me a better idea of what you consider to be a secondary source? Slanders13 (talk) 00:17, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Those sources are closely associated with the subject. While those are fine, they need to be coupled with third party sources. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 00:19, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Why is this message in the article?
Why is this message in the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashid_Al-Farsi? Can I delete it? This biographical article needs additional citations for verification.

Regarding rejection of article by you
Hi! This is regarding rejection of my article by you. The article is, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Entrepreneurship_Cell,_IIT_Kanpur on the basis of existence of an article of the same subject, i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrepreneurship_Cell,_IIT_Kharagpur I would like to clarify that although both the articles are similar, yet they are very unrelated. Both are different organizations operated autonomously from different places by different people, serving different set of people/ community. Just like the central banks of USA (the FED) and India (RBI) are similar on the basis of their primary work, yet they are two very different entities operated by different people, working for different people. Hence if I am making a wiki page of RBI, I should make a different one, I cannot edit the page of the FED. Same is the case here. Hence, I would request you to please review it again.

I don't agree.
The files uploaded by this user are of very varying quality and resolution, lack EXIF and often look like crops of larger photos. Besides, the uploader has multiple copyright-related notifications on his talk page. This suggests that the files may be copyright violations. --Stefan2 (talk) 17:50, 12 October 2013 (UTC) How can I reply to this guy.... I have clicked these photos on my own or I have got them from my friends camera...

Hi

I understand you deleted my recently submitted article due to copyright of the website address www.villierspark.co.uk Can you please confirm this.

I am an employee of Villiers Park Educational Trust, please explain to me how I can recreate my article on Villiers Park Educational Trust, along with the use of the Villiers Park web address. I have researched Wikipedia's Copyright Infringements and requests for permission. I am an employee of Villiers Park Educational Trust, do I still have to pass on a letter to Wikipedia to grant us use of the website address?

Many thanks

Yours Sincerely

VilliersPark

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Danni Chong 种丹妮
Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Danni Chong 种丹妮

Hello Zach Vega, thank you for your comments about my article for creation and your contribution to Wikipedia. I am little unclear on how I failed to prove the subject of my article is notable. I have cited Sina Entertainment News, MSN News China and China Daily Online, which are all quite reputable sources of news coverage. And I have provided external links of Baidu Baike (similar to wikipedia, biggest of Chinese language) of the subject, which suggests that the subject is quite notable. Due to the foreign nature of the subject, all of these sources are in Chinese of course and I understand why it might be hard to verify. All of the references have the subjects name in the title, and not just a passing mention. One of them even links to a 1 hour interview on a major TV channel. All of the references are independent as well, not paid for, not press releases. The subject is not an international star like Jackie Chan so English language sources are quite unlikely, but the subject is quite notable in her native country. I can add some movie data base like imdb for her but of course it is going to be in Chinese also.

If it is not too much to ask, can you give me more tips on this matter? Or any other tips on how I can get my article approved. I am eager to contribute to wikipedia as well!

Thank you very very much for your precious time and your help!


 * Some sections of the article are not sourced, such as "As of 2013, Danni's other television and film credits include: Just like Xiaoduo, Two Happy Families, Ye Luo Changan and films Civilian King and Leifeng." These need to be sourced in a biography in order to establish notability of those accomplishments. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 10:37, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Amy Blankson re-edit
Hey Zach,

I am hoping you can help me, as I can't seem to get the page on Amy Blankson published. I paired it down and I think used pretty neutral language, but am I not as experienced as you and may still be doing it wrong.

Would really appreciate the help, please let me know what I should do to allow the Amy Blankson page to get published.

Thank you,

ben

Alexis Houston
OK, I need some help on this page I'm helping create for Alexis Houston. I understand when the first page creator submitted this page back in June, it was severly lacking in citations and references. But I went through and brought the available referemcing material from 4 to 21. Most of these references are not associated with the artist herself. What parts are still lacking in citations?

declined submission of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation Eightysix
I've deleted almost everything out of my article and kept it to very simple facts, being a record producer and the referenced credits list.

Follow up
Hi there

I just thought I would follow up to ensure I resubmitted my article on Count Me In correctly, as I realize that somehow the first time I attempted to submit it it came out blank.

Zach,

I am not sure why my article was rejected. Would you give more information.

ALL of the information is factual in the development and ultimate founding of the NAACP Louisiana State Conference.

Unfortunately, the struggle for civil rights is not very "pretty" and to some, it may be offensive to those who want to hide the truth; those that prefer his story versus history!

If you could tell me specifically what the problem is, I will attempt to revise it. However, please note, I will not alter the "truth," especially from primary sources.

Thank you for your consideration.
