Jonathan Gleich
Greetings, I have re-publish this article, and would appreciate opinions, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Gleich
Thanks for any help, Lscappel (talk) 23:37, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Greetings, I have opened the re-published article, but found it very difficult to grasp the main topic of the article. Provide more reliable sources to this article and it will help the reader understand the main points of the article.

Robin French
I have posted a new page - Robin French and refined it according to the many suggestions received here. I think it should now pass the criteria. Please can someone check for me. It is still showing the tag '...notability guideline for biographies...'
Many thanks! Felicity Waters (talk) 16:10, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- The article has favorable pull quotes from reviewers. Such quotes appear in jacket blurbs or ads on the sides of buses, not in encyclopedia articles. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:08, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Please can someone help me with this page. It now has a tag saying it is written like an advertisement and has been marked for speedy deletion. The above message advised to remove quotations. Therefore I have removed the second quotation which was the only that I have added (the first quotation was added by another user. I had previously been advised that the writing style of this page was fine.
Please can someone advise me if I should delete the other quotation? Please can someone advise me how I can get this page authorised?
I am concerned that this writer now has a page with three uncomplementary tags at the beginning.
Thanks for any help, I would appreciate it if this could be cleared up as quickly as possible. Felicity Waters (talk) 18:40, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- There is no authorisation of Wikipedia pages. The simplest way to find out why a tag has been added to an article is to ask the editor who added it. You can find an editor's identity by looking at the page history, and then you can post your question on their user talk page or on the article's talk page. If you believe you have addressed the issue related to the tag then you can simply remove it from the article. Gandalf61 (talk) 22:22, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
Sans aucun doute
I wanted to create an article on Sans aucun doute and found that fr-Wiki already had one, although it was completely unreferenced (except a broken link). I rewrote it in English, removing some of the less interesting information (such as the Opening credits (Généric) section) and have progressively added in as many citations as possible. There are still bits for which I can find no WP:RS and watching the show every week (WP:OR I know) the section about the teams of lawyers and journalists is out of date and makes so sense timeline wise (I'm tempted to change to "Previous team members and current team members"). Any input on this article which has largely remained untouched by the community would be welcome. Regards -- Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 09:06, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- The lede sentence is confusing. presented by Julien Courbet until 30 May 2009 then by Christophe Moulin since 12 September 2008 So who was the host from Sep '08-May '09? decltype (talk) 15:43, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- Fixed. I introduced a typo during translation. Now reads "[...]Julien Courbet until 30 May 2008 then by Christophe Moulin since 12 September 2008". The June-September 2008 period would be accounted for by being off for the summer (though can't find any references yet for that). -- Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 16:47, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- For a 16 season show, there is very little information about critical reception. decltype (talk) 15:45, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Mikhail Shufutinsky
I know a little about this singer Mikhail Shufutinsky - probably the most popular artist in the Russian chanson style - but I'm by no means well-placed to write an authoritative article.
Thought it would be useful to get one started and allow experts to amend.
Hello, and thanks for taking the time to read this and help with editing. This is about a band I first saw on Vans Warped Tour, and having been following since. They have had great success including major radio play across the US, so I thought a little write up would be a good idea. Let me know your thoughts, thanksWikipedia Link

User:Thelema12/Dennis Van Roekel
I am working on a stub for an article about the President of the National Education Association, Dennis Van Roekel , and would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!--Thelema12 (talk) 19:29, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- Claims to this person's notability seem grounded, but your article also cites non-reliable sources, such as the Huffington Post and blogs. Also, to prevent a phenomenon known as linkrot, please use citation templates when citing webpages, or if this is not possible, at least give a short summary of the nature of the webpage. Intelligentsiumreview 21:23, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the tips. I've taken out the blog links, and put in New York Times articles and NEA press releases. Do I have enough info in the refs? Where do I get reference templates? Thanks!--Thelema12 (talk) 14:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Evolution Article
I would like to see more information concerning the competing theories of evolution, namely the views held by Conservapedia. I believe that it is very important to cross reference this article in order to develop a greater discussion and widen the context of the subject of evolution. This is important as the subject's modern history as involved serious debate in which both sides of the argument (of whether or not evolution is real) cites many accredited sources.
Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcoving28 (talk • contribs) 19:59, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- I think you are in the wrong place. This page is intended to provide feedback on new articles that editors have written. If you want to suggest a topic for a new article, you can do this at Wikipedia:Requested articles. Gandalf61 (talk) 22:26, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
- Furthermore, "Conservapedia" is also a wiki and does not represent a notable viewpoint, such as that of a major news agency or governmental group, except perhaps for its own article. Though a Conservative view on Evolution is notable and is included in that article, Conservapedia's view is not. Intelligentsiumreview 21:20, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

- Your article Bob Pereyra, The Godfather of Street Luge needs quite a bit of work before it can be an acceptable Wikipedia article. Here is some feedback:
- Title - the title of the article should just be "Bob Pereya" - see our policy on naming conventions.
- Style - is much too promotional; needs to be more encyclopedic - see our style guide.
- Notability - the notability of the subject needs to be established by showing that he has been written about in independent reliable sources - see our notability guideline.
- References - the quotes and facts given all need to be refernced back to reliable sources - see our verifiability policy
- I suggest you look at some other biographies in Wikipedia, and try to copy their style and structure. Gandalf61 (talk) 17:25, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

The Tribe
I hope this is the right place for my request. I've been working on The Tribe article for some time now but I don't edit very regularly. I've tried to make the article as clean as possible and to include citations, references and images. Other contributors have added sections about fan productions and a cast reunion. Is this relevant to the article? I would greatly appreciate any input from other contributors/editors that could assist in improving the article as it now stands. Thank you very much. ErisDysnomia (talk) 16:09, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
- The article is currently rated B-class, which means it's a pretty good article. User:Orangemike has beaten me to removing the CRUFTy sections, but overall, I don't see any obvious issues that need to be addressed. One thing, I would do, however, is add more third-party sources, independent of the subject. There are already some, but many sources are from the Official Website, which is accepted in articles about TV series, but generally not in other types. Thank you for trying to help out; if you need anything, let me know, or ask a question. Cheers, Intelligentsiumreview 01:42, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
Dog Reproduction
sup, I think it would improve this Internet homepage if there was an article and not a redirect at the article Dog Reproduction. I think it should be a disharmonious homepage because they are several different things that can be meant by dog Reproduction, but now it redirects to Canine reproduction. An editor thought it would not be a good idea to make it that way and that to make it good should be asked on the homepage for canine reproduction but no one has since replied to the talk page on Canine reproduction. I think my idea is a good idea, what do you think? Could you comment in on that please. Peter Napkin Dance Party (talk) 04:03, 13 October 2009 (UTC) Thanks
- This page is for comments on "This page is intended to provide comments and constructive criticism about articles that you have created or substantially changed" so this may not be the best venue. I have commented on the talk page, though.Cptnono (talk) 04:51, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks Cptnono. I searched a few of the other pages and this seemed to be the one that fit the best. It didn't look like there was much discussion on the canine reproduction talk page. Could you, or anyone else, point me to a better forum for future reference? Peter Napkin Dance Party (talk) 19:44, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
St.Christopher's School Bahrain a British-Style School
Hi can you please feedback me on my article : St.Christopher's School Bahrain a British-Style School . Thanks, The arabic if possible too —Preceding unsigned comment added by RayanB (talk • contribs) 15:23, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
- Your article St Christopher's School Bahrain requires a lot of work before it is suitable for Wikipedia. I have made some edits to bring its layout in line with Wikipedia's standards. I have also fixed some grammatical errors and removed some text that was too promotional and made the article sounds like an advertisement. I have also removed the Arabic text - if you want to write an article in Arabic then it belongs in the appropriate language Wikipedia. The most important improvements that are still needed in this article are (a) it needs references to reliable sources to validate the facts that are stated in the article and (b) it needs references to independent third-party sources to show that its subject is notable.

Jacqui1311 (talk) 21:38, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
- It's a good start. To get the article ready to be released into Wikipedia article space, you need to do a few things:
- Add links to other Wikipedia article - for example, link Gregory's Girl to Gregory's Girl - see Wikipedia:Linking for instructions on how to do this.
- Add an infobox, such as the actor infobox - see Help:Infobox for help.
- Add the article to some categories, such as Category:Scottish film actors - see Wikipedia:Categorization for more information on Wikipedia categories.
- Take a look at our article on Alex Norton for a good example that you could follow. Gandalf61 (talk) 10:11, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Farside (band)
This page was deleted via WP:PROD for failing the notability requirements. I've tried to fix it at User:Peachlette/Farside (band), but would like a second opinion before re-introducing the article. peachlette (talk) 00:17, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Please let me know if you think this article will be acceptable. This historical information has never been published before now, so there is no published reference to cite, however it is important to the company (Wridgways) that some record of its history is recorded.
22.214.171.124 (talk) 03:26, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Some feedback on your draft article:
- Contents - the article focuses almost entirely on the history of the company, ending in 1999. It would make for a more balanced artcile if you shortened the history section and added more about the company's current size, business activities, locations etc.
- Sources - Wikipedia requires that information in its articles can be verified from reliable sources. I am afraid that unpublished company archives do not count as a reliable source in Wikipedia's terms.
- Notability - the article needs to establish the notability of its subject. To do this, it needs to show that the company has received significant coverage in independent, third party sources - see the guideline at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). References to newspaper or trade journal articles about the company would help here.
- Conflict of Interest - if you are employed by or connected with the company, then you should read our conflict of interest guideline.
- If you want to create a history of the company based mainly on its internal archives, then Wikipedia is probably not the right place to do this. Gandalf61 (talk) 09:43, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I have added more about the company and will search further for articles that I can reference.--126.96.36.199 (talk) 23:48, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
Bristol Pitbulls
I recently constructed a new article for a recently formed English Professional Ice Hockey Team, the Bristol Pitbulls, located at the following wiki link
Essentially, since it was moved to the live Wiki page, it is still showing as a new unreviewed article, and I could really use some assistance in getting this page 100% live.
I cannot see where people have the option to review the article?
If anybody can help me out, it would be most appreciated.
Jimmy Eyre Jimmy Villa (talk) 12:00, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- I have removed the {{new unreviewed article}} tag, but I have added a {{notability}} tag because I think the article at the moment fails to establish its subject's notability - see our notability guideline. I have also rewritten most of the article to remove the "sports journalism" style of writing. Wikipedia is an encycliopedia, so phrases like "plough their trade", "proving just how far they had come", "what a start" etc. are not appropriate in our articles.

Article Name: Bernard Belle
Article Name: Bernard Belle Bernard Belle
Dear All,
I have read many help articles within WIKIPEDIA but am getting nowhere finishing my article on Composer, Bernard Belle. Can someone assist me?
1. I am done entering most of the facts, discography, etc. 2. Some of the songs credited to Mr. Belle appear as "page not found"--How do I correct this?
Any help you can offer me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Blairsmom (talk) 18:58, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- User:Blairsmom/Bernard Belle looks like a great start, and four grammies should be ample evidence that the subject is notable. I would make minor changes such as splitting it into a lead and named sections, and make his colleagues' names into links, but that's advice on Wikipedia's style rather than any fault in the article itself. Why not remove the {{NOINDEX}} and {{underconstruction}} tags and move it to the main article space where everyone can improve it? To make it easier to find, you can edit some of the articles mentioned in Special:Search/Bernard Belle to link to your article, and copy appropriate [[Category:whatever]] links from a similar article like Teddy Riley (producer).
- "Page not found" simply means that no one has created an article about that subject yet. It's a normal feature and not an error. If the song is notable enough to merit a whole article to itself, then leave the redlink in place: it will automatically turn blue when someone (perhaps you) writes that article. If it's not notable then just take the double square brackets off (or replace by double apostrophes for italics) and leave the title as normal black text. Certes (talk) 10:08, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

- I think the article is fine - well written and laid out, plenty of sources, establishes notability - and it is ready to be moved into main article space. One small point - as the article includes a sample of poetry in Spanish, it would be good to also have an English translation of this passage. Congratulations on an excellent first article. Gandalf61 (talk) 08:37, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- Good question. The problem with adding your own translation is that it could be challenged as "original research". However, our policy on original research says "Where English translations of non-English material are unavailable, Wikipedia editors may supply their own. If such translations are challenged, editors should cooperate in producing one they can agree on". So, yes, you can add your own translation, but other editors may change it.

Polyoxyethyleneamine or Polyethoxylated tallow amine (POEA)
I don't have the time to do this, but the above chemical is an "inert" ingredient in Roundup that is extremely toxic. This topic is currently a stub and badly needs to be written up. A quick perusal of pubmed shows very recent, very important new toxicity data on POEA.
The "active" ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, is relatively nontoxic. However, the "inert" ingredient POEA is proving to be extremely toxic. The public needs to be made aware of this.
In addition, I haven't looked at "inert ingredients" on Wikipedia, but if it isn't made clear that "inert" when its on the label of chemical products such as Roundup and dishwashing detergent doesn't mean that it does nothing, and that so-called "inert" ingredients can be more toxic than "active ingredients", this needs to be done urgently. It's important that the public become aware of this ruse. Nocow (talk) 16:52, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
- I think you are in the wrong place. This page is for requests for feedback about articles that an editor has created or substantially changed. Your comments should be made at the POEA article talk page at Talk:Polyethoxylated tallow amine or at Talk:Roundup. The Roundup article says "Another important ingredient of Roundup is the surfactant POEA (Polyethoxylated tallow amine), known for its toxicity in wildlife, it increases herbicide penetration in plant cells".

Más. Nelly Furtado Song
Más (2009)
hello guys. I need help with this posting. i haven't yet found information for this.
- There are two draft articles in your user space : User:Jgabino000/Más and User:Jgabino000/Mas (Nelly Furtado Song). Both are one line articles, and so are nowhere near ready for release into main article space. As an example of what you should be aiming at in article on a released single, take a look at Manos al Aire or Give It to Me (Timbaland song). If you cannot find enough information about the single to make a substantial article, then it is probably not notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. Gandalf61 (talk) 10:57, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
List of jazz biographies
I am compiling a list of jazz biographies at User:Chitownjazz/List of jazz biographies.
Is this considered an appropriate article? If so, what should the citations be?
Any other feedback?
Also, I can't figure out how to make this entry "signed".
Thanks, --Chitownjazz (talk) 20:54, 17 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chitownjazz (talk • contribs) 14:43, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- To sign a message, just type --~~~~ at the end of your message. I may be wrong, but I don't think a List of jazz biographies is an appropriate article. I believe this falls under WP:NOTDIRECTORY, which is that Wikipedia is not a directory of loosely associated topics. There are so many biographies published, that the page really will just grow infinitely since biographies will continually be published. Also, many of the biographies are not notable, and so probably shouldn't be included on the list. I think creating articles for the biographies (provided they are notable), and then using a category would be the best course of action. But I would also wait for another user to weigh in before abandoning the effort. --Odie5533 (talk) 17:42, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

- Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! If you haven't already, please take a look at the WP:Introduction page as it discusses writing new articles, and also the links at the top of this page. Looking at the page you've made, a few things hit me immediately: you don't need a header for introduction (lede) section; be careful not to put spaces before the bullet points (*) or it will show up as pre-formatted text in the funny looking box. The article delves right into the gritty details of the subject, first thing I want to know when reading the article is what is Rohini Village? An example first line for the article would be "Rohini is a village in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal". Phrases like "Gram-panchayet" and "Sankrail block Paschim Medinipur" don't mean anything to me, probably because I don't know much about India. But you want the article to be generally useful, or useful to people who know nothing about India, or perhaps only that India is a country somewhere in Asia. The other thing I notice is that you have no references. If I may refer you to our excellent page on wp:verifiability, and it's counterpart, the reliable sources page, I think you should be on your way to finding excellent references for the village. The article has a lot of Wikipedia Manual of Style problems, but those are all minor things which can be combed through later. The article seems to be off to an okay start, and I hope you continue editing to make it even better. Again, welcome. --Odie5533 (talk) 17:32, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
PS22 chorus
This is my very first article and it has been tagged for cleanup because apparently it is (was?) reminiscent of an essay rather than an encyclopedic article.
I have deleted the suspected sentences now. What do I have to do to get rid of the "unreviewed" and "cleanup" banner?
Zendrig (talk) 17:36, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- First, welcome to Wikipedia! If you haven't already, take a look at the WP:Introduction page as it has lots of great help for creating your first article. While the cleanup banner can be removed by anyone, I would recommend leaving both up until another user comes through and gives the article a good once over to make sure it's up to par. A lot of users, well, over-tag articles with big ugly banners at the top which often stay on the articles for a long time. If the article doesn't require general cleanup, then it at least has prose problems or missing sources or one of an innumerable number of other cookie-cutter problem tags on it. Don't be discouraged by the tags, just make sure you are trying to address the problems they point out and continue improving the articles.
- That being said, looking over the article it does indeed need some cleanup. Trivia sections are generally discouraged, so I'd recommend moving the information it contains into regular prose instead of a bullet list. Having block quotes from media sources is also generally a bad idea since it comes across as advertising. I usually leave block quote for use only on pages about dead people or historic things, just to be safe. The choice of section titles feels awkward, and like an advertisement. Perhaps a Chorus section, and just put the information about the director in the Chorus section, and also perhaps change "The Music" section to just "Music". The Celebrity following" section would also be better as a prose section, and feel less like a marketing gimmick. Please consider these as only recommendations, you don't need to follow each one to a tee. And again, welcome to Wikipedia. --Odie5533 (talk) 17:57, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks! I restructured the whole article now and tried to incorporate all of your advices in the updated version. Zendrig (talk) 23:50, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

- Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! If you have not already done so, please take a look at WP:Introduction. The Bpled article is being considered for deletion because it does not meet Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. New articles must be created on topics which have received "significant coverage in secondary reliable source." While the them you have created may in fact be useful, Wikipedia is not the place to share the theme or market it. Please see WP:NOT#OR for more information on what Wikipedia is not.

Artticel Request
I've been trying to update information for a group called the Dukes of DaVille. They have several references already linked on Wikipedia and I've noticed that every time we try to create a page it gets deleted. The last time a page was put together was in February of 08. Since then the group has gained much success and press and we would like to added to the wikipedia site now. Please let me know what it is that I have to do to update this information. firstname.lastname@example.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrdarnelclark (talk • contribs) 02:03, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
- Dukes of DaVille article was deleted because it was very short and had no context to identify what the subject was. First you should head over to WP:Notability and make sure the subject (Dukes of DaVille) is considered notable. Then go to WP:RS and read about what Wikipedia considers reliable sources. Gather up your sources, and create the article at User:Mrdarnelclark/Dukes of DaVille. Then when you are sure it is long enough, click the move button and move the article to Dukes of DaVille. Use this method so that you can build up the article before putting it in the general encyclopedia. If you have any problems let me know. --Odie5533 (talk) 05:12, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Oklahoma Association of Student Councils
Thank you for reviewing my article about the organization that oversees all high school student councils in Oklahoma. [Oklahoma Association of Student Councils] Jdelozier (talk) 04:34, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
- The most urgent problem with Oklahoma Association of Student Councils is that it does not demonstrate the notability of the association. To fix this, you need to show that the association is covered in independent, reliable sources. There need to be specific references to these sources - the general external links at the bottom of the article are not sufficiently specific. Read our guideline on notability for more information. The article has been flagged for possible speedy deletion because of this problem, but I have added a {{hangon}} tag that may give you some extra time to make the necessary improvements.
- Other less urgent problems are the external links embedded in the article's text - these should be converted into references - and the long list of districts, which adds nothing useful to the article - I would remove it. Gandalf61 (talk) 12:52, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Bank War
I rewrote Bank War some time ago in an attempt to give it more balance and supply more reliable sources. I was hoping people would look it over as time went on, but it appears to be a pretty low traffic article. In any case, any feedback is appreciated. It's possible the article needs to be merged somewhere, but I don't really know how to do that, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you Wikilost (talk) 05:57, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

After the death of David Shapiro, earlier this month, I was appalled to discover he didn't have a Wikipedia Page. David I.

Wikilost (talk) 06:39, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Novalis Engine
Novalis Engine This is my first publication and I would appreciate if someone could review this and give me and pointers on what needs changed/added. Thanks a ton!
Krankzinnig (talk) 00:06, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- What the article needs the most (and something I've tagged it for) is an assertion of notability. The best way to demonstrate the notability of a subject is to provide multiple reliable sources that discuss or review the engine. These would generally be articles in newspapers, magazines, or the more prominent websites. If notability is never demonstrated, the article may be deleted. Someguy1221 (talk) 01:05, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I added an outside source that reviewed the engine alongside other engines reviewed. If this isn't enough please let me know but I will be able to add more soon. Krankzinnig (talk) 01:25, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Idiot/idiocy (Athenian democracy)
I was hoping someone would take a look at this entry that I've added to distinguish it from conventional usage with a more nuanced modern view that is resurrecting its etymological origins.

Thank you for your assistance.
Josh Breadncircuses (talk) 21:07, 19 October 2009 (UTC)Breadncircuses
- The concept is notable and worthy of an article, but it needs work. I will look at it over the next few days. One important point is the title, it should be something like Idiot (Athenian democracy) to avoid a title containing a "/", so I will move it accordingly. Also, the modern usage stuff can be reduced in size as we already have an article on that. – ukexpat (talk) 21:19, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Cultural Impact of Michael Jackson
This article refers to the cultural impact of Michael Jackson, both positive (influence) and negative, such as parodies. I thought it was important to make this article as his main article is already too long and does not contain enough information. Currently this article exists under my userspace. User:JTBX/Cultural impact of Michael Jackson
Please help me construct it or tell me your opinions. Thanks. JTBX (talk) 00:28, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- At the moment, this draft is much too short to be a separate article. It would be a good idea to talk to the folks at WikiProject Michael Jackson| to see (a) whether they think a separate "Cultural impact" article is necessary and (b) whether anyone is interested in helping you work on it - I see you have already posted a message on their talk page.

Rufus Bowen
I've written a short biography of Robert "Rufus" Bowen (1947-1978), an important UC Berkeley mathematician. User:Chaslsullivan/Rufus_Bowen This biography is strong on the "biography" and weak on the "math", but I hope that someone who really knows her math will come along and expand the article to describe Bowen's mathematical work in more detail. This is my first article, so please let me know if you see any obvious mistakes that need to be fixed. I really appreciate it. Thanks.Chaslsullivan (talk) 01:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- The article looks mostly fine to me - well written, well sourced, good layout. Here are a few suggestions:
- There are a couple of peacock phrases in the lead paragraph - "internationally known" and "still inspires current research"; unless you can cite specific instances to substantiate these descriptions, I suggest you remove them.
- Make sure you are conforming to the style guidelines for biographies in the Manual of Style (biographies) - I don't think it is standard to include places of birth/death alongside the subject's dates, for example.
- You could use the Infobox scientist template to add an infobox - see David Hilbert for an example. Gandalf61 (talk) 10:20, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Thank you, Gandalf61. I've changed the areas you have suggested. I've made a few other small modifications and added two sentences about Bowen's political activities. (In the Infobox scientist template I put Bowen's formula to which I've seen several references in papers and books, but I am not competent to explain or elaborate. Should I remove it??)
Any further feedback is still welcome.Chaslsullivan (talk) 19:24, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
John Franklin Botume
I wrote a new article on a relatively important voice pedagogue. User:Pitchperfect/John Franklin Botume I should probably go into more detail about what was so important in his writing, but what do you think so far? It is my first article on wikipedia. Thanks. Pitchperfect (talk)pitchperfect
- It's important to review WP:COPYREQ and carry out the steps to properly secure permission, including making sure those giving permission understand they are giving permission for use beyond Wikipedia. Once that is done, the Source section can be removed. While not required, it might be wise to include a mention of the sourcing on the Talk page, so some editor doesn't stumble across the original and flag it as a possible copyvio.
- The article itself looks good, nice start.
- Footnote 4 may be problematic, will return with more specifics.
- Is there any way to provide citations for the work? I realize they may be out of print, but citations are still in order.
- Please make sure to review the copyright issues noted on your talk page --SPhilbrickT 16:38, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- Following up on footnote 4 (Additional biographical information obtained through personal correspondence with J. F. Botume's great great niece Martha Winters) —your diligence, while laudable, is regrettably not appropriate for an encyclopedia. See see WP:OR generally, and WP:PRIMARY specifically. --SPhilbrickT 16:48, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
What is a vested choir? I'm guessing that the church had 4 regular soloists and that they comprise the soloist quartet. A picky point. "He was never married and had no children." would be my choice - "He neither married nor had children." is correct but doesn't read well. Interesting article summing up the musical life of someone compelled do do what he loved.Canuck100 (talk) 09:33, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Thus far I have kept the article short and, I hope, concise. I'd welcome feedback before letting the article go live. the page can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mg169706/SATURN.
--Mg169706 (talk) 13:55, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- Style and layout are fairly good, but before this draft is ready for release into main article space it needs to demonstrate the notability of the software. This can be done by including references that show that the software has been covered in independent reliable sources. See our notability guideline for more information.

- The article has been reviewed and deleted, as there was no indication the subject was in any way notable or suitable as the subject of an encyclopedia article. (I will also not that the subject, or a person claiming to be the subject, has also apparently been involved in the making of this article, a clear-cut conflict of interest; but that's not why the article was deleted.) --Orange Mike | Talk 02:10, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
Im an admin on the dispute infested Persian wikipedia. There are only 6 admins. Our laws are basically copies of EN WP. I need advice from you. My question:
An admin gets involved in a content dispute in an article with some users (7 or 8 other involved editors I reckon). Some r against him, some side with him. Anyway, after a while, he leaves the dispute and quits editing the article entirely, and the fight of course continues and the article is heavily edited every day one way or the other. A month later, the fight heats up again between the same parties. Edit wars break out. The admin (who has not been involved for a month now) jumps in and (citing disruptive behaviour and edit warring) blocks the main responsible user for 24hrs. It turns out this blocked user was the same person the admin was involved with in their intense dispute a month ago. Now some ppl are crying foul, and claiming that since the admin was involved a month ago, and has therefore conflict of interest, he was hence not justified in blocking the user, whether he was right or not.
Do u guys agree? Is a month enough time to not be considered involved? When does one become de-involved? A month after you leave the article? A year after? Was this admin justified in blocking the edit warring user?
I'll read your input. As always, I'm grateful to the wealth of advice u give me.--Zereshk (talk) 21:22, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- I think you are in the wrong place. This page is for editors requesting feedback on articles that they have written or contributed to. I see you have posted the same question on several other more relevant noticeboards including WP:AN. Gandalf61 (talk) 11:47, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
Edith (Coutts) O'Shaugnessy
With very little biographical information available, I dumped what I had into an article on the now forgotten U.S. journalist, travel writer and early Hollywood screenwriter.
She is probably better known in Mexico than in the U.S. today, mostly because she wrote (and wrote very well) about the Revolution of 1910-20... from the "wrong side" -- the losing one anyway -- being a defender of aristocracy, elitism and the rich. My interest and expertise is Mexican history, so revisions by those with background in feminist literature, travel writing, film history, etc. would be helpful.
And, yes, I know there are all kinds of annoying grammatical errors. I cut and pasted from myself, and then did a quick-n-dirty edit just to get something up a woman who, for all her reactionary ideas, was ahead of her time as a married woman with her own career, as well as a "helpmate" to a politically important spouse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richmx2 (talk • contribs) 06:52, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Help with Self-Sealing Fastener Entry
Gentlemen & Ladies,
Thanks for leaving up "Self-Sealing Fastener" entry long enough to give those interested time to help properly edit following Wiki Protocols. There is no question the entry author will need some tutoring to make it truely enclopedic and not self-serving fluff, etc...

There is a sea change happening in the industry as fasteners try to catch up with applications. The direct all-encompasing knowledge base in very slim.

Did you invent the term "Grey Gardens Syndrome" yourself ?

Carbon burning process
I've added a lot of new material to this existing article. This was partly motivated by the article having warnings, which have now been removed, and partly by my wish to understand the process better myself. The article is about the nuclear process of fusing carbon nuclei with themselves to form heavier elements, such as sodium, neon and magnesium, which occurs in stars of at least 4 solar masses. This process seems inextricably bound up with stellar evolution so I added a section about that, concentrating on the mass range of stars relevant to carbon fusion. Also, my searches turned up material about the s-process and neutrino losses. I have references to the material I added. I still don't have a suitable reference to the temperature and density figures which headed the article before I added to it. I would also like feedback on the neutrino losses section. I'm unsure how to relate this to the carbon fusion energy generation and cooling of the core by neutrino emission. Thanks.Puzl bustr (talk) 18:28, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

George Rector
I'm working on an article on George Rector, a cookbook writer and radio personality from the 1930's.

It is still on my user page, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

- Firstly, you are to be commended for starting the article in your userspace, rather than the mainspace. Most new users would have started it in the article space, when they are too inexperienced to write an article conforming to the MOS. From a quick glance at the page, my suggestion is, take a quick look at the linked page, and turn some of the external links to references. Intelligentsiumreview 01:23, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
- I have cleaned it up a little more. As far as I am concerned it is ready to move to the mainspace. Let me know if you need assistance with that. – ukexpat (talk) 19:24, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I have created my first article, and want to make sure it is up to snuff before I move it from a subpage. The article is on a well-known academic in the field of Political Science and Comparative Genocide Studies, Dr. Adam Jones: User:Solgress/Adam_Jones_(Canadian_scholar). I have reviewed the criteria for notability, and I think that I am on steady ground here. I'd appreciate any feedback on content and formatting, and I thank you in advance for your assistance.
Solgress (talk) 00:09, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
- The article looks fine to me. Here are a couple of suggestions. Wikipedia style is to use lower case in sub-heads, so "Gender and International Relations" should be "Gender and international relations" etc. I would move the "Books" section up so that it appears before "External links".

Halloween in the Castro (San Francisco)
I recently started looking at the article, "Halloween in the Castro," about the event in San Francisco's gay district that grew to massive proportions until it was canceled after a shooting in 2006. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_in_the_Castro
I made some minor edits. It seems to me that there a lot of this article's content should be in other articles – but I'm new to editing and before I engaged in a big rewrite, I thought I'd go to the community for some insight/support. Looking at the article's discussions, I suspect that there are a couple of editors who may resist changes to the article.

Culcheth Methodist Church
Article on "Culcheth Methodist Church"in the Village of Culcheth, part of Warrington, Cheshire, England. User:Eionmac/Culcheth Methodist Church.
This is an unusual church in that is is the first church and a modern church building built inside a very old English village, however as the name is duplicated* with a church in Manchester, the article first defines the location.
Is the style acceptable?
How does one put a picture of the bell in to the page? It is the last link in the village from the Norman Conquest family "de Culcheth" who were granted the land at the conquest and became the squires of the village until the family line died out.
Any help appreciated.
--Eionmac (talk) 16:41, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
- I have cleaned up the draft a little to comply with the Manual of Style. When it is ready to be moved to the main space, it can be moved to Culcheth Methodist Church. If someone writes an article about the other similarly named church, that article ca be given a disambiguating title. Do you have a picture of of the bell that you have taken yourself? If so, please upload it to Commons and then see WP:IMAGE for assistance adding a link to it in the article. Let me know if you need any more help. – ukexpat (talk) 19:43, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Jamison International V LLC
This is my first article I have posted and would like any comments on it. I do work for the company mentioned, but I did not add it for advertisement. The purpose of adding Jamison International to wikipedia was to let the general public know what Jamison International does and what is involved in its process. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Jamisonintl (talk) 21:28, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
- The contents and layout of the article are fine. I have removed the unreviewed tag and added a category. However, I have also added a notability tag because the article does not establish the notability of its subject. To do this, it needs to show that Jamison International VLLC is covered in independent reliable sources - links to articles about the company in the press or trade journals, for example, would show notability.

- The draft has several problems:
- You cannot use other Wikipedia articles as references. If you want links to other articles to appear in the article, enclose the article name in double square brackets, like this, [[article title]].
- It reads a little like an advertisement, in violation of WP:SPAM.
- You will need to add proper references to reliable sources to establish notability.

Thank you for your help and patience with this newbie.Dkillo (talk) 21:47, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- The problem is not with your references; the problem is that the guy simply isn't notable. He's the obscure (by planetary standards) descendant of a notable politician; but his notability is shallow, trivial and local. Toastmaster at some notable politician's banquet; president of a local chapter of a notable organization? These are not notability by our standards, on a planet of six billion people, each one as human as he. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:51, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Give the article a look and let me know if it's ready for primetime or if it needs a little more work. KenAdamsNSA (talk) 18:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- Please take a look at WP:PROF - as I read it, he does not meet the notability tests for academics. – ukexpat (talk) 21:19, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Really? Because number 5: "The person holds or has held a named/personal chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research," definitely holds true for his current status. That, and the fact that his research at UCSC is helping further game development strategies (including such concepts as rule engines for video games and procedural generation in character development) and I'd say that he definitely qualifies for a Wikipedia page. Even if not for being a professor, but for being a game designer. Facade has gotten a considerable amount of press, despite it being 4-5 years old. Let me see if I can flesh it out a bit and perhaps make it more qualified?--KenAdamsNSA (talk) 00:08, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Scrycer (talk) 05:28, 29 October 2009 (UTC)Scrycer
- Hi Scrycer. I have made a number of changes. I note that some sources spell her first name as Jeannette and some as Jeanette and you should nail down which it is (I haven't looked very closely). Some of the sources I just linked would probably make good references for expansion. You have all web references so far and they're not considered the most reliable. I have reformatted them using the template {{cite web}} for ease of use, appearance, consistency and to provide fuller attribution for readers so that they can verify the content. If you do use the book references, you can use {{cite book}} to cite them. Note that I see you have name all the references (<ref name="NAME">). There's no problem with this but just note that you don't need to do this unless you are going to use a reference a second time (the second time, instead of writing out the reference again, you would simply type <ref name="NAME" /> (note the ending /)). When you are ready, simply move the article (do not cut and paste) to the mainspace. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:16, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

The Polish Ambassador (Musician)
Hi all - this is my first contribution here at Wiki. I was wondering if the layout is appropriate and also, I've had some difficulty uploading a picture of this artist and the album covers for the discography. Any tips would be appreciated!
The Polish Ambassador (Musician)
David Sugalski, better known as "The Polish Ambassador" is an American electronic musician, remix artist, and DJ of Polish descent. He founded the Indie record label Jumpsuit Records in 2006 (although the name Jumpsuit Records acts only as a placeholder for his music as of 2009.)
He is also known as the Ample Mammal, a electro-music reincarnation of The Polish Ambassador.
Sugalski began releasing music as "The Polish Ambassador" in 2006 with the completion of his first album, "Diplomatic Immunity," which was released in early 2007.
The Polish Ambassador's music is recognized for containing intelligent and intricate tempos. In person, fans are familiar with "The Polish Ambassador" style by the fact that Sugalski's promotions and performances are done wearing a yellow jumpsuit. Aside from the attire, Sugalski can often be seen carrying a small keyboard with him in obscure locations (an unofficial Polish Ambassador trademark). He is known for using the word "musics" (pl.) instead of "music" – to describe any sample of music, whether referring to one song or entire albums.
Diplomatic Immunity – 2007
The Phantasmal Farm (Digital) – 2007
I Found Him Now I Must Kill Him (Digital) - 2008
Background details:
The Polish Ambassador name, sometimes abbreviated as "TPA, " is a component behind Sugalski's interest to represent Poland to other life forms; specifically when humans encounter life from another galaxy.
A second handle, called the "Ample Mammal", is also a Sugalski creation. According to websites such as thesixtyone, the Ample Mammal is a being of excess that creates music that is different from that of The Polish Ambassador. Listeners will recognize the same electronic driven beats between both personas, however, there are unique styles between the two.
Musical Style:
As an electro-musician, Sugalski's albums offer a different feel. The Phantasmal Farm for example, offers a dreamy storyline style laden with electronic driven beats. A majority of these songs are woven with 80's style sounds, bundled with space-like themes and the occasional video game hook.
Personal life:
Although he is originally from Chicago, Sugalski currently resides in the Berkeley, California area. As of 2009, The Polish Ambassador is beginning to gain momentum in the world of electronic dance, where many users of Pandora Radio and Lastfm.com are picking up on his blend of music.
Every few weeks Sugalski offers "new musics" in the form of free remix downloads through his website, including both single song remixes and dual remixes where one song is created from two separate songs.

This is an article about a sport being played a lot at my school since 2007. I don't know who first came up with, but it is played a lot in elementary scholl gym classes. To make it more fun for High Schooler's, we made it full contact with some rules. As we got more people from our school playing it and getting involve, we had multiple tournaments. It is one of the best sports i have ever played. I want to spread it to other high schoolers so they can see how it is not only an elementary school sport and how much fun it can be. We have pictures from our last tournament which i am going to upload to help show the rules.

I have started an article User:Ianji/Bicycology in my Userspace about a UK organisation called Bicycology which was already mentioned on a couple of Wikipedia pages. There are about 15,000 Google hits for "Bicycology", most of which relate to the UK organisation of that name (though the "word" is occasionally used in other contexts) and I have provided three references which I think are enough to establish notability. The article includes links to four other Wikipedia articles, one of which is currently an orphan. I have not moved it from my Userspace yet because I am a member of Bicycology which means there is a potential conflict of interest. On the other hand, Bicycology is entirely non-commercial and it is just one of many organisations I am involved with. I believe I have succeeded in maintaining a neutral point of view and I think it is a useful article. Should I go ahead and move it so others can start building on it? And if so then should I mark it as a stub?

On Aug. 3, Homeland Security Investigators encountered Oscar Amaya, whom they believed to be an MS 13 gang member, working at the Asian Market, 321 N. 76th St. in Omaha, Gilg said.
Investigators determined Amaya was illegally present in the U.S. and was working under someone elses permanent resident alien number and an unassigned social security number, Gilg said.

I just received this twin set for my 5-year old son. I was a bit hesitant since it had no reviews but I was pleased when I opened the package. It seems like decent quality, especially for the price. The microfiber comforter is soft but doesn't feel cheap as I was worried it might. The sheets are obviously not super high quality (thread count) but they are fine as an extra set. I'm not sure how well the comforter will hold up after repeated washings - it seems like the filling may get really bunched up - but it's certainly fine for now.
Very close to pictured item. Unfortunately a little flimsy, especially on the sheets.
This bed in a bag is a great price!! And the bedding is colorful, bright and adorable. My 5 year old loves it. The only draw back is the actual bedding is thin and not very soft. I would recommend only purchasing the comforter and buying separate sheets.
And he loves this comforter set. It is bright and perfect for his new bed.
The comforter is soft and the sheets are of good quality.
We love the bed set in our 4 year old's room. I like that the trains are generic so this bedding should last him for several years before he grows out of it. The quality is worth the price. I would classify it as medium in quality. It's not super cheap feeling though. The sheets are microfiber sheets and are similar to what you find in character sheets at the big box discount stores. If you are looking for an inexpensive train bed set for your little boy that will last several years, this is the one!
Fast shipping and the bedding set was better than expected!
Comforter is fine. Sheets are a bit thin. Good value overall
This is a very warm and soft set. My son loves the trains!!
Great Buy for Great Comforter
This is a very cute set. The material is a little thin, but is a good value for the price. The colors are bright and look great. I wish it had a valence for the window to match.
This was an upgrade from Thomas the Tank for my two grandsons. They were thrilled. Quality was great.
This set is just OK. It is very cute, but the colors were imprinted on the plastic bag that it arrived in. That is not very reassuring-- it just made us doubt the quality of it. It was very inexpensive though, so we are keeping it as a backup set and we bought a different set from Land of Nod. Much better quality there (and of course, more expensive, but hey, we are hoping this set will last from ages 3-18!)
For a first big boy bedding set for my 2-year-old grandson, this set was a hit. "Look Grandma...a train...a train...a train!" For the price, the quality of the product is good. He enjoys curling up under his trains every night. Hoping the comforter will stand up to the repeated washings it will likely receive and the set will last for several years!
What a fantastic set! My son loves it. I've washed it several times and always worry that with the lower priced items they might not hold up. This is a great quality and it's a hit with both of us!
My son is obsessed with trains but has grown out of Thomas. He really loves this comforter set! I think it will be thick enough for winter being that we live in TN and it doesn't get extraordinarily cold. The sheets are more of a polyester type material so they are kinda slick. They pull out easy when they are tucked under the mattress. I have no complaints other than I wish it were a little cheaper...but I'm a cheapo anyway, ha ha!
Very cute bed set, would recommend this for kids who like/love trains.
sheet and comforter are very cozy, the colors are vibrant the only thing is the description says 7 piece set; reality is only 5 pieces came. i kind of feel cheated because i paid for 7 peices not 5. Also delivery took forever. i placed my order 10/2 and arrived 10/13 i mean ******* shipping is way faster i think i will stick with ***** instead.
My son loved his new train bed set. Just got the washer/dryer test and it held up great!
I read the reviews before buying and they weren't bad but surely didn't prepare me for the product I was going to receive. This set is extremely cute and well made. We bought this for our 2 1/2 year old he takes food into his bed all the time therefore we have to wash it often. It holds up well and still brilliantly beautiful. He loves the theme. The price is perfect for this. The material is thinner but still excellent. Perfect purchase.

Forced to cut its cultural budget or face a total loss of its nation's heritage, Scottish Parliament settled on miniaturizing golf—a fortunate last-minute substitute for miniaturizing kilts. Celebrate the Scots' pared-down pastime with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $10 for one round of glow-in-the-dark mini golf for two (up to a $21 value)
- $19 for one round of glow-in-the-dark mini golf for four (up to a $42 value)<p>
Putting Edge
Glowing monkeys scamper toward a neon waterfall, and a knight bearing a radiant yellow lance rides past a bright orange octopus emerging from the ocean. What appears to be a time-traveling session gone awry is really the evolving environment within Putting Edge's indoor black-lit mini-golf course, which whisks players to deep seas, Aztec jungles, and medieval times. Since opening its original location in Canada, Putting Edge has now expanded to 18 North American locations, all of which invite guests onto its challenging 18-hole courses to seek victory over opponents and the forces that keep their teeth from not glowing as brightly as they could. Elsewhere, the facility houses private party rooms, concessions, and an arcade filled with gamer favorites such as air hockey.
The Gist
What some people are buzzing about:
"Enjoy the experience. Each hole has a trivia question and some have special instructions on how to play at a certain hole, which made it really fun.,"
"great for kids and adults. wear a white t-shirt"
"Very nice people, glow bracelet that matches ball color included. Wear white or a print with white! Much more fun when everyone's glowing."

Oregon Experience
Oregon Wine: Grapes of PlaceOPB | May 8, 2012 8 p.m.
In the 1960s, a new breed of pioneers began arriving in Oregon's Willamette Valley determined to grow Vitis vinifera, the fine wine grapes of Europe. They were told it couldn't be done and were amply warned that Western Oregon was too cold and wet for vinifera to flourish. But they came anyway with a dream of producing fine premium wines – in particular Pinot noir, made from the delicate red grape of Burgundy, France. The pioneers' risky experiment would create a new industry in Oregon and change the world of wine forever.
