Hi Anne,
I do not know Antano personally, I'm new to wikipedia and new to writing in general. I wanted to get some experience writing in the formal style wikipedia requires and to pursue a project in journalism and biography writing, of a local personality I admire. I thought this was a good starting point,
Wikipedia did not approve my article however saying the writing style wasn't in line with what they expect. Since you are experienced in this field I would really appreciate it if you could give an edit to my article and/or show me where I have gone wrong and what i can do to improve my writing. If you have any articles of yours I could help out with please do send them my way i would love to help and learn.
Regards, Jason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barkgoesthepaper ( talk • contribs) 18:25, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
There is a proposal at the IdeaLab that may interest you. Lightbreather ( talk) 19:27, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
You mention the technical code and say about it "you will likely find uninformative". If you're using good grammar, yes, that's correct, but if you're using bad grammar, I think you're wrong — I can't properly interpret it, but others might. What if we copied everything down to "X-PMFLAGS" into a WP:RDC request? Of course we'd omit email addresses, bits of the actual email that appear in the content preview, etc., but most of this is simple computer-generated stuff that wouldn't be a problem if posted publicly, unless you don't want people to know which antivirus program you use :-) I have a suggestion that might be relevant; I'll post it on-wiki if you're okay with having components of the email on-wiki, or I'll send it in a reply email.

Dear Anne Thank you for taking an interest in my article on John Alexander MacWilliam, and for your input and comments. I am new to Wikipedia (as a contributor anyway) and this is the only way I have come across so far of communicating with you. Yes I can assure you that the article has been written by myself and that I have not taken whole sentences from other sources - and also that I have not written any of this elsewhere. Alan McWilliam AGMcW ( talk) 16:00, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
AGMcW. When you see an editor's signature, you will usually see a little extra word "talk" at the end of it. Just click on that to be taken to the editor's talk page. Then you can add a new message to the page by clicking on the little "+" sign at the top of the page, or by selecting "edit". I have accepted your submission, so you can find it now at
John Alexander MacWilliam. I have removed some sentences and adjectives which seem to have been included to promote the importance of the subject; more may be needed to meed Wikipedia's neutrality guidelines. (
Wikipedia:Neutral point of view). —
Anne Delong (

Hello Anne. Thank you for accepting my submission and for your suggestions. I will have a go at tweaking the article in the ways you suggest over the coming weeks. Also, I expect to have another couple of photos which I may add in due course. By the way I have removed the "s" from his name. It seems to be a common error for an "s" to be added.
Please assist with Ken Sibanda draft rewrite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.108.60.10 ( talk) 17:44, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Since WikiProject Women as proposed at the IdeaLab may take some time to realize, and based on a discussion on the proposal's talk page, I have started a test Kaffeeklatsch area for women only ( cisgender or transgender, lesbian or straight).
It is a place where women can go and be sure they'll be able to participate in discussions without being dominated by men's advice, criticism, and explanations. If interested, your participation would be most welcome. Lightbreather ( talk) 23:08, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

I wonder if you could add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Nominations to your watchlist. I don't expect you to second nominations (that is what the page is for, although that would nice). Rarely there is a discussion regarding policy. There is one now. Your input would be helpful.

Hello Anne Delong,
I'll be putting out a formal update sometime soon, but I wanted to inform you that I've decided to push our start date back to mid-February rather than in January. There are number of reasons for this, but the biggest factor is that we are now facing the hard work of implementing our designs on the
Mediawiki interface. It's a limiting environment to work with from a web-building perspective, and the team that worked on
the Teahouse can offer similar testimonials to these challenges. We also want to make sure there is time for us and for you to test the environment out, ask questions at our project's
talk page, and give us a little time to make any last changes before we start inviting editors to the space. If some of you know you will be unavailable during this time, it's totally fine if you need to bow out for the pilot. But we do need all the mentors we can get, so even if you can take the time to mentor just one or two editors, that would be fantastic.
Thanks a bunch,
I, JethroBT
drop me a line on behalf of
Wikipedia:Co-op.

Hi Anne. I noticed your comment
here. There is a long tradition of admins according rights that are even far less important than AfC reviewer. The effort here is not to give admins more power but to prevent all and sundry from reviewing pages which is AfC's major problem. I realise that the AfC regulars are resistant to change and progress, but this is a small but important step that will lead to greater things for AfC as soon as we get a new teanm of programmers on board who know how to work in a collaborative environment. The actual emergency process being proposed is very similar to the way we work at
WP:PERM, but I notice you haven't worked there since being given the mop so perhaps you may wish to take a look there and see how it functions. You'll see then that we cannot possibly allow anyone to grant the rights, and the only available editors with access to fully protected pages are, well, admins. --

Hello Anne, thanks for the explanation on references. This has been my first wiki article on a living person (as opposed to dead ones or places), and it's taken me a while to get my head around some of the subtle differences that haven't been obvious to me. Plus, since it's more "current" I've had several chicken-and-egg issues. As I get a better understanding of what's needed I'll keep a look-out for those kinds of items and insert them as I find them. Thank you! P.S. It's still listed as "may not meet notability"; can you give me a little more guidance on what else I should be looking for / adding, if/as I find it? - I'm trying to be brief but relevant, but am not sure I'm making the right choices here.

Hello Anne. I recall that in the past you mentioned your expertise in statistics. From time to time I've seen "sockpuppet investigations" which are presented by well-meaning but unsophisticated editors who cite what they think is probabilistic evidence of wrongdoing by various editors. There is one such case up on the Noticeboard now. It concerns an content-oriented editor, a woman named Steeletrap, who seems to have attracted more than her share of accusations and confrontational dissent, particularly because she seems to edit many articles concerning fringe or otherwise controversial subjects.
At any rate, the SPI thread here: [1] is troublesome because for lack of clear policy or procedure concerning these pseudo-probabilistic hunches, there's lots of needless energy devoted to such cases. I thought you might want to have a look and at some time share your thoughts about developing policies or procedures which would make these threads go more smoothly with fairness to all. The more independent eyes we have on these matters the more chance we have of making these things better. If this is of no interest to you, please feel free to disregard. Thanks.

I was just chatting with OriginalSoni for a research project I am working on and he suggested I get in touch with you. My research looks at how the participation of Wikipedians changes overtime.

Hi fellow Wikipedian,
I did not want to try to revert an editor, that should never last. but I wanted to stop by and comment on a change you made here. removing the "Father of Fish Nutrition" part should not be considered "highly promotional text" as this says (you have to scroll through a few names). The term " Father/Mother of ..." can be overused quite often (4 of the 50+ people listed on the fisheries page), but I consider this fundamental as to why he is entitled to a wiki page.
Thank you so much for your work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.37.82.6 ( talk) 05:39, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Do I go to the back of some review queue, everytime that i make a minor edit whilst i am awaiting review ?
only it been a few days since my last review and the quoted number awaiting review on my page hasn't changed at all in fact it's gone up not down.
I ask because every time i make a minor edit to my article draft the number awaiting review keeps going up and up.
How are articles reviewed ? are they reviewed on a first come first served basis or is it random event where someone who reviews comes along and reviews only the articles that they fancy the looks of ?

Reply to Anne Delong
Thanks Anne that is clear to understand although i resubmitted 5 days ago its got miles to go to get near the top of a very long list indeed.
is every one on wiki who call themself an editor able to review articles and other stuff ? or is anyone who is in the process of or has had published an article on wiki referring to themself as an editor? i ask because from reading other peoples talk page entries there seems to be rather a lot of officious sounding comments being bandied about. how can i tell if some one is able to review articles or not ?,
as far as my article is concerned rest assured your knowledge of karate will not be a drawback as the editorial content of the article is accurate, impartial, non-defamotry and referenced. where your skills come into play would be to tidy up the look and avoid me having to resubmit for something obvious that I am unable to see myself due to inexperience.

Regards Rachael Rachael murray ( talk) 21:04, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Rachael murray, I see that most of your links don't go to internet pages that let you read the magazines. I presume that this is because the magazines aren't on line. Is the organization still running, and if so, have its tournaments been reported in newspapers, or have articles that are not written by the SKU appeared in magazines recently? I found these three items; are they about SKU?—
Anne Delong (
talk) 02:01, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Reply for Anne Delong
Yes i too have found it difficult getting different outside sources but i think it is due to the SKU having their own quarterly magazine that has been running for years. anyhow i have managed to find webpage entries from acclaimed individuals stating that they were or are still members of the SKU and that they attribute something of their success to the SKU, also i have found other organisations in other countries as far a field as nepal & pakistan and in the uk that are citing the SKU in technical articles that they have written and they are using the SKU as reference in their articles, while others are citing the SKU on their web pages as they are currently or were once members of the SKU.

ive read some of the enteries from other sports on wiki and their editors dont seem as happy to adhere so closely to the ideal as i am trying to do because sadly a few of the reference that they have supplied are to their own webpages not outside sources and a couple of them led me to a blank http 404 dead end, so im not sure that i am continue any further with the writing of the page if i cant find different reference to the current ones in use as i strongly believe that the reference currently being used in the draft are from respected journals and books from withing the martial arts world. I'm also not so sure should i remove the links connected to the references that ive supplied in the draft or should i leave them in there. It seems an insurmountable issue for me, when comparing other sports entries, what do you advise Anne ?
Regards Rachael Rachael murray ( talk) 16:53, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Rachael murray, I am out of my depth here. Not only do I know nothing about Karate organizations, but I have never been involved in any sport whatsoever. I think you should contact the editors at WP:WikiProject Martial arts for further advice. You may find people there who have copies of the magazines that you have linked, or at least will have heard of them, and who know where to look for better sources. I am happy to answer questions about format, but I am out of ideas otherwise, and I hate to see you working so hard on this without knowing first whether the organization passes notability in the martial arts world. — Anne Delong ( talk) 19:16, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Dont worry as we are even because I know nothing about bluegrass. You have helped me so far with some good advice. So speaking on a matter of format is the format of my draft ok ? is it just requiring different references ? I look forward to your response Anne. Yes i have worked hard on the project from obtaining permission from subject to write the article and to use their logo and through my wiki ignorance ive had to remove the logo and ive altered almost everything to comply to various suggestions from well wishers, i feel like for what ever reason there is a higher force out there saying forget it so your unbiased common sense input is helpful.
Regards Rachael

Hi,
Thanks for accepting my contribution. Its my born village but its not added into the pages. I tried to add as much, but it was rejected to accept and for back for edit. Unfortunately I don't have much time to look into. Thanks again for adding.. Raochandu ( talk) 16:18, 16 March 2015 (UTC) |
I'm working on an article for Dream Catalogue, Bandcamp's biggest vaporwave label. It also held the first live vaporwave concert last February. /info/en/?search=User:Blue_Gnome_Tree/sandbox Thank you,

Dear Blue Gnome Tree: For a record label to have an article in Wikipedia, it must have been written about extensively in independent news reports, magazine articles, album reviews in edited publications, books, etc. Please find these before doing further work on the draft. The journalists or reviewers must be actual journalists and authors, not anonymous usernames, and the write-ups must be about the label, not only about the musicians whose recordings are being released. If you've found some published sources about this label, and need help adding them after reading WP:Referencing for beginnners, I can help with that. The label is pretty new, though, and appears to be pretty nebulous; it may be too soon for an encyclopedia article, which can't indulge in speculation if published sources can't be found. — Anne Delong ( talk) 23:37, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Dear Ms. Delong,
I was aware of that in the creation of the article, and I have found plenty of legitemate sources to bolster the information. Here are just some of the ones that I've found: Interview w/ Red Bull Music Academy Interview w/ Neonvice DC Interviews Vincent Remember VIRTUALIFE Concert Information VIRTUALIFE Info (DC) DC Interviews Vapererror DC Releases Reviewed by AmbientExotica
In a few weeks, I am even told, the owner of Dream Catalogue is going to be interviewed by VICE, which I will be sure to make use of. As a member of r/Vaporwave, I can basically sort out which artists are notable and which of them aren't. The current references on Wikipedia's Vaporwave page include artists who are are about as notable as those current, although a lot different from today. My primary concern for this article is articulating the references to Wikipedia standards, as well as re-wording some things, re-organizing some other things, etc. I can handle notability (they dominate the genre's bandcamp after all).
I started this project (which goes beyond the DC page) as a means of updating the current scene, which is in no way shape or form represented on Wikipedia; only the classic stuff is. If you could suggest to me any grammatical corrections, formatting techniques, or anything else that will be needed, I will be thankful. Thank you for your time,

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

While reviewing pending G13 deletions, I accepted Patrick Casey (runner) because it looked to be in good shape already. After doing so, I noticed you had worked on the article today - obviously my list was a bit out of date. Anyway, 1) good work; 2) my apologies if my acceptance caused any inconvenience via an edit conflict or anything like that. -- ThaddeusB ( talk) 02:07, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Given your regular activity at WP:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen, I have added your name to the list of participants at WP:WikiProject History Merge, partly to keep the list from being empty. You are, of course, free to remove your name, if you so wish! Thanks, SD0001 ( talk) 15:31, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
