04:59:36, 18 June 2015 review of submission by Rich gitsch
I'm setting up a new article page, and all my References are outside webb pages. Is it more appropriate to list them as "References" or "External Links"?

 * Hi Rich gitsch, if you are using a website as a source for the content of the article it is a Reference. External links are basically those sites that provide further in-depth information about the subject but you have not actually used as a reference, with the exception of the subject's own website, even if it is used as a reference it is also listed as an External link. See the Referencing for beginners and External links guides for further details. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 06:41, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

I have rewritten the "Collection paragraph" from scratch, using new sources. However, this is the first time I'm doing this, so I would appreciate any comments on how to improve. Thanks Lmelk (talk) 07:32, 18 June 2015 (UTC)


 * FYI - this is about a copyvio issue at User:Lmelk/Museion (Bozen). I'm not sure what the next step is, but I guess it may need admin tools. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:38, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Lmelk. I've approved your rewrite at User talk:Lmelk/Museion (Bozen)/Temp. It's now awaiting an administrator to move into your draft at User:Lmelk/Museion (Bozen). This may take a couple of days. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 13:41, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much --Lmelk (talk) 14:16, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

15:25:32, 18 June 2015 review of submission by Heatherer
Hi all. I'd like to point editors to a draft I submitted that I believe was wrongfully declined. The reviewing editor, Joseph2302, claims here that my draft copied this press release and violates Wikipedia's copyright policy, but I am confident that it does not. is written in my own words based on numerous reliable, secondary sources (none of them being the press release in question). It's true I was hired by the article's subject to prepare the draft, but I declared my COI upon submitting and was careful to follow all guidelines. I've outlined exactly what happened on the draft's Talk page here. Could others take a look and let me know what they think? I'm also reaching out to Copyright_problems to ask for the copy violation tag to be removed. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 15:25, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth the reviewed version doesn't look like a copyright violation to me, and the current version even slightly less so. When the text is heavily peppered with long proper names, like "Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group", "National Geographic Society's Council of Advisors", "Virginia Governor's Advisory Council", and "Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges", the detection tool can exaggerate the likelihood of a violation. Unless Joseph2302 sees something different, I expect your submission will remain in the queue and be reviewed in due course. Worldbruce (talk) 07:24, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking a look, ! Your explanation is not something I had considered, but it makes a lot of sense. I'm satisfied with how this issue has been resolved and I'm looking forward to a second review. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 13:17, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Unable to find notable content on the subject. Would I be able get some help figuring out where and how to source the subject properly. As well as how to source or copyright the picture.

I would like to use all the information used in the draft, but the only place where it can be found is on the website. The information is not in print and not on any other websites or articles. Proving notability is turning out to be fairly difficult without many online sources. Thank You.

 * What you would like to be in the draft doesn't really matter. To quote WP:NOR, "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it."
 * This CBC article may help explain the scarcity of usable reliable sources ("We don’t like publicity here / I don’t want to be interviewed / OK, we’re done"). Aziz may understand that an article about oneself isn't necessarily a good thing. Something more company CEOs should understand if they don't want their comments about striking workers juxtaposed with their support of their daughter's show jumping, or don't want to read about how securities fraud charges were eventually dropped after a multi-million dollar settlement.
