Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Michael Jackson's Lead image

A barnstar for you!

	The Graphic Designer's Barnstar
	For all your efforts generating videos under an open license. It is much appreciated. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:23, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Videos

Your videos are helpful. Is there any possibility you can make one for a couple of the horse articles? The two that can really use it most are dressage and horse tack. (Specifically, it'd be great to show how to tack up a horse, and what an Olympic dressage test requires.) It's hard to explain these things without use of free media. Thanks for any help, and if you have questions, just ask on my talk/neigh page. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 21:48, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@White Arabian Filly: Thank you for the topic suggestions. We'll include them into the list of next topics. I'll contact you as soon as we move forward with the project. --Norma.jean (talk) 12:16, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of coffee for you! - simpleshow

I started Wikipedia:simpleshow as a place to centralize discussion about the inclusion of simpleshow videos in English Wikipedia. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:17, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Bluerasberry: Thank you so much for your efforts!

Listing all videos

Are these all the ones that have been uploaded so far [1] Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:29, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Doc James: no, there is a selection, but I think I'll reduce the amount of videos on this page and move the whole collection of uploaded clips to the simpleshow page on commons. --Norma.jean (talk) 11:18, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 12:34, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Subtitles

Okay found the subtitles :-) [2] Would love to see the leads of these articles turned into videos if they have not already Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Translation_task_force/RTT(Simplified)L. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:24, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Doc James: ok=) I'd suggest we'll start a pilot project and "convert" the leads of these articles in a semi-automated way (using a "mysimpleshow tool"). In order to look what is the outcome and if we can use / improve it. I think we'll be able to do this next week. --Norma.jean (talk) 14:00, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Simpleshow (February 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is simply a business listing in which they would advertise to potential investors and clients, and our policies are especially critical of this, because articles must not read like a company announcement or guide, and the sources here amount to that, either being announcements, mere mentions or simple listings. There's no automatic inherited notability and there's simply not what our policies need for notability here.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Simpleshow and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Simply not significant enough to satisfy our basic policies as it's not only barely a year-old, but the sources are only mere announcements, mentions, tech columns mirroring similar information, etc. Unless there's significant majorly published reviews, it's likely too soon.
