Re: Cowpuncher

Some of the awards are local, however the band just won two awards on a provincial and then western Canadian level. Alongside Tegan and Sara: http://www.cbc.ca/keyofa/2013/12/27/best-of-alberta-2013/

Cowpuncher has been a provincial representative for the Alberta Music Industry Association which was cited. There is also a national award named after the band.

Cowpuncher is currently on rotation with x92.9 which is a commercial station. As is CKUA. As is CBC. It seems to me that there are other bands with less press, following or attention who have had their submissions accepted -- see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beekeeper_(band)

I am very confused by this rejection. I have added more citations and re-submitted. Please re-review and let me know if we need to add more information. Ryankelster (talk) 01:01, 9 January 2014 (UTC)RyanKelster[reply]

Re: periodic table cupcakes.

Hi, you left me a message about my article on periodic table cupcakes. Articles for creation/Periodic Table Cupcakes. I've added some more information but i'd welcome advice on how to reflect in the article the full extent of the activity - a quick google search brings up dozens of examples of people making periodic table cupcakes, inside and outside Chemistry departments, but none references Ida Freund as the originator of the idea. Her idea has had significant impact and I'd like the article to reflect this. The making of the original cupcakes is already included in the article about her and i don't want to duplicate too much. What is the best way to record this so that when people search for 'periodic table cupcakes' they find her contribution? Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melissa Highton (talk • contribs) 21:52, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Article for creation.

Your decision to decline the new article 'Combined list of World Heavyweight Champions in TNA' on the basis that "this information already exists in List of TNA World Heavyweight Champions and List_of_NWA_World_Heavyweight_Champions" is most unagreeable, it is not just a case of copying information that already exists, but placing it together and creating new information that is not available on either page and would require constantly going back & forth between them to figure out. It makes looking up this information considerably easier and also provides new information throughout the entire history of the topic rather than just part of it. Saying "this combined list is not of great utility" is hardly accurate as already stated. It takes a relevent part of one article and the information of another article and puts them into one simple combined article for ease, to make looking up such information quicker and much more simple. It also creates new information that is not found anywhere on wikipedia as it is in order to create a complete history rather than a fragmented one. Your conclusion is short sighted as a result as you seem to think this new article merely copies informantion from two existing articles and puts them together, when it does more than that and also makes it much easier for everybody wanting to look this information up, it also makes the lineage in question corrospond to that of the company it is about and without this list the information on the existing articles is incomplete and even misleading as it gives information that is contrary to what the very company in question consideres the facts and its history. A reconsideration of this is suggested provided all the information is taken into account this time and a short sighted reasoning of "information already exists" is proven incorrect and suggests the article was not looked at properly, rather you simply looked at the list and nothing more. The main points of this article are to provide a complete history that also coincides with what the people who make this subject themselves think and makes it considerably quicker, simpler and much easier for users as they would no longer have to use two articles (one that coveres much, much more irrelevent information meaning users have to search through all that in order to get the information as well) and then jump back & forth between them all to add everything up in a time consuming and confusing process when they can simply have the information all there, all complete, all corrosponding correctly to the very company, all at the end of one simple link.

  • The critical phrase there is "creates new information". This sort of synthesis comes under WP:No Original Research. Generally speaking, to justify a new list like that one needs to present sources that show that this arrangement of information has been of interest in reliable sources. If you are doing the calculation required in order to form the article then it is a sign you are creating an original synthesis. --LukeSurl t c 20:14, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sir. O - declined by you

Hi Luke, As per Wiki guidelines I've added a verifiable source = BBC's web site, where they have created a web page for Sir. O, playing his music and furthermore - they asked for a link to his Wiki page, which couldn't be provided since you declined the article. Under " guidelines on the notability of music-related topics " in section 11 it says: "Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network." - which I believe BBC is suitable enough. Sir. O is played on over 100 Radio station world-wide (I can provide a list if needed) our of which over 50 stations in the UK! So I'm not sure what is notable and Nation-wide if not that?? Avi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oavi (talk • contribs) 11:59, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Avi. I saw the BBC page. Obviously Wikipieda have no control over what the BBC says or how they link to the encylopedia, however there is no compulsion on this wiki to create a page on a topic just because an external site suggests the idea. The text looks somewhat "biolerplate" either.
To be precise, rotation means that the song is played regularly (on the order of 10 times a week) rather than having been played once or twice. The BBC page does not show that a song has been placed on rotation by any station, hence the [failed verification] tag that fact has been assigned with in the draft. --LukeSurl t c 18:24, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Luke, Thanks for clearing that out. It is extremely difficult to "prove" that Sir. O is on rotation on the other 100 stations as well as they don't show it on web or on paper.. In case that's not enough I'll have to wait till he's on the charts (I suppose) or BBC states (or other similar Nation channel) he's on rotation...

Questions About "Comparison of high adventure resources" Article

Hello LukeSurl,

Thank you for your feedback:

Comment: Impressive, but Wikipedia isn't meant to be a comparison site. Not accepting on the grounds of Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information LukeSurl t c 01:04, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Comparison_of_high_adventure_resources

There are many, many other "Comparison of X" articles on Wikipedia, if you simply type in "comparison of" into the Wikipedia search dialog box it brings up many options in the auto-complete. Here are a few examples:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clients

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_audio_player_software

Can you please explain to me why all the other "Comparison of X" articles were approved, but not mine?

Can you please give me specific guidance on how to update my article so that it will be approved?

As can be seen by the blue links on the left hand columns in Comparison_of_Linux_distributions etc., almost all the entities being compared in those articles are notable enough to have articles of their own. This is not the case in your draft, especially in the section where you focussed on Texas. Generally, such a list should be restricted to notable entities (i.e. those with articles). Also it is better to be global in scope, rather than focussing on a single country or state. --LukeSurl t c 11:54, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The door remains open and I hope you reconsider your decision to give up editing.

WHY would I want your door? I've got better things to do with my time. It's not like I don't understand things like formatting, because I do.

What is an Elisa program? Surely a super user like you doesn't need an explanation, but I'll waste your time anyhow. Bot's are the modern off shoots of Elisa programs. Just 4 inches up the page it says Autosigned by SineBot, a Bot. And it shouldn't be SineBot, unless it's a trigonometry bot, is should be Signbot.

Hi Alex. WP:Wikiproject Articles for Creation doesn't really do re-reviews of articles, we have a constant stream of new articles to approve (or not). Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about the quality rating of the article, the only ratings which really mean anything are "Good" and "Featured", everything else is rather arbitrary. If you would like what we call "peer review" on the article, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Peer review/guidelines. This should hopefully garner some advice on how the article could be improved, thought the process may be slow.
You may also like to introduce yourself informally to the community of people at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_History and/or Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ancient_Near_East, though I'm not sure if either of those projects are particularly active. A community which is active and very friendly (though not specialised) is the Wikipedia Teahouse, where you are very welcome to start a thread discussing how your article could be further improved and I'm sure some people will try and help you.

Review of Kobarweng Or Where is Your Helicopter?

Hello LukeSurl,

Thank you for reviewing my Kobarweng or Where is Your Helicopter? page. Is it possible to give me some more feedback on your reason for de decline?

Thanks,

Johannesdebruycker (talk) 13:51, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As I said at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Kobarweng Or Where is Your Helicopter? (1992):, the draft doesn't explain what the film is. Is it a nature documentary? An anthropology film? Is there a plot or a narrative? The Papua New Guinea section is written unclearly, it is unclear whether the text is discussing what happens in the film or is a general comment on the country. The "Director" section is unnecessary, as the article is about the film, not him (the Johan Grimonprez article already exists). The "further reading" section is also unnecessary, and is currently unhelpful as the relevance of each item is not explained.
Please note that the article must discuss the film, rather than be an essay trying to communicate a similar message to the film.
Lastly, in order for an article to exist, even if the above issues are sorted, it must be shown that the film is "notable", as per WP:NFILM. --LukeSurl t c 14:20, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review of Voice to skull

Hi LukeSurl, thank you for taking the time and effort to review my submitted article. Much appreciated. While I respect your opinion, I beg to differ. Do you have any specific idea on how to improve the article? If not, I am considering moving it to the main space myself, if possible, since I believe it involves a topic that deserves a stand-alone treatment. Then perhaps more people will contribute to it and help expand it. - Synsepalum2013 (talk) 14:08, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Voice-to-skull, as discussed in the article, is a 'fringe' explanation of Auditory hallucination. Wikipedia:Fringe theories discusses how much weight Wikipedia gives fringe theories, and in this case I think this equates to having discussion in the Microwave_auditory_effect#Conspiracy_theories section, but not a stand-alone article.
I encourage you to expand the Microwave_auditory_effect#Conspiracy_theories section. That section could be split off to a new article in the future if it grew sufficiently. --LukeSurl t c 14:37, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the explanation. I believe I have established the notability of Voice to skull by the reliable sources I provide. The topic actually covers more technologies than what are based on microwave auditory effect therefore it does not belong to a section within the latter. Besides the phrase "conspiracy theory" is rather dismissive for this topic. I also included microwave auditory effect and auditory hallucination in the See also section so that users who are interested can explore further. I prefer short articles linked together to long articles that try to cover everything. - Synsepalum2013 (talk) 15:29, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LukeSurl, regarding your review of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/List_of_Aam_Aadmi_Party_candidates_in_the_Indian_general_election,_2014 I wish to point out the following. You say that Wikipedia does not allow these kinds of lists of candidates. However, there are similar lists for other parties active on Wikipedia, e.g., List of National Democratic Alliance candidates in the Indian general election, 2014, List of United Progressive Alliance candidates in the Indian general election, 2014 and List of Left Front candidates in the Indian general election, 2014.

Hi LukeSurl. Thanks for taking the time to review my article on the easy-breaks.com website & company. I'm trying to work out what improvements I can make to increase the chances of the submission being accepted. I have removed one source that contravened the guidelines - was that the particular issue or was there a more general problem here? Apologies - I'm new to the process and still trying to get my head around the rules. BM1717 (talk) 10:45, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. You haven't contravened any guidelines, the content of the draft is OK. What's more fundamental is an issue of notability. Wikipedia doesn't aim to be a directory of every business in the world, as such we have defined criteria to decide which companies we have articles about and which we don't. These are defined here. Articles about companies can only be accepted if they show (principally by the references that are used) the company has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.
This was not evident from the references in your draft, easybreaks was mentioned only in passing in most of the sources.
If you can find reliable sources which do give easybreaks "significant coverage", please reference them in the draft and resubmit. However it is rare that companies of the size of easybreaks (~20 employees) garner such coverage. If this is the case, and easybreaks is not notable I'm afraid there would be nothing you could do on Wikipedia to change that.

RE: The Jungle

Hi LukeSurl

I'm attempting to publish an article on The Jungle (film) and am struggling to add enough references to satisfy the notable provisions as you interpret them.

You mention national media interest as one example, but this film has gone straight to DVD, and this is a small market in Australia. I have cited at least three independent reviews of the DVD to prove it exists, as well as two film festivals. The film has been made but is getting a relatively limited release.

Given it is the third in a series of animal-based horror movies by the same director, the first two of which received good reviews and won the Director praise, this third film deserves attention and I would have thought is notable for that fact.

I'm unsure how to add further citations that will satisfy the "independence" criteria other than the example of national press cited. Thanks for your further efforts to enlighten me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dtoovey (talk • contribs) 11:40, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Stateless society, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pastoralist (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Orphaned non-free image File:Alpha Logo 2013.jpg

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Alpha Logo 2013.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. TLSuda (talk) 19:11, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
