User talk:Snowysusan/Archive 8messagesThank you. :) --Santoshdahal (talk) 09:11, 25 October 2012 (UTC) Many thanks for the friendly help. --Staceydfla (talk) 22:29, 24 October 2012 (UTC) Hello Susan, thank you for your review and the tips to improve my submissions. While creating my submissions I generally followed the already approved submissions. While Alpari UK or Oanda are considered from the same FOREX sphere, I checked the sources they have cited and there were some leading to not found pages. Can you please help me in determining the reliable sources for my articles. What should I consider to define if the source is reliable? Thanks in advance Sincerely Hranush Manukyan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hranush1982 (talk • contribs) 06:28, 15 October 2012 (UTC) Hello Susan, thank you for your help with my Ateronon submission. I was just trying to access it because I still have not formatted the references properly, but they now seem to have disappeared. Is this because someone else is currently editing them? Also, I think it was suggested somewhere that the submission needs more cross-headings? Are there standard Wikipedia cross-headings that should be used? Thanks very much --Meeahlo (talk) 21:00, 15 October 2012 (UTC) Meeahlo Also, do you mean I have created the same submission twice by accident?

We have been busy adding citations to the article Equality Illinois. But, as you said, I need a change to a non-institutional name. Can/How I change it to my existing personal Wikipedia name, or do I need to create a new one?

It is written: "What you can do:" Add citations to secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject. Find sources: "Imexco General Ltd." – news · books · scholar · JSTOR · free images. By entering "Imexco General" in Google, there are about 1200 entries, about half of them are relevant links. In addition, there are many verifiable and reliable independent sources in the the article itself. Please help to understand the missing info needed for acceptance.

MazzocchiHi Susan, I am the Executive Administrator of ELENZA who submitted the information regarding Rudy Mazzocchi, (serial entrepreneur, author, venture capitalist, angel investor, etc) that you seemed to have "declined" for an unclear reason. He personally did not prepare the Wikipedia page, but he asked that I use his account information so that he could monitor any edits and changes. Is this the problem? He is extremely well-known in this industry and recipient of several international business and writing awards. Thanks you in advance for your reply (and correction of this matter), (Rudy A.

Can I involve them at this stage as the article is not yet approved? Thank you in advance for your help! Pgmarchetti (talk) 15:48, 22 October 2012 (UTC) Snowysusan-- I need some help, and you are someone that seems to be helpful. I was accused of sock-puppetry and have been banned indefinitely; this accusation is not true, but explanations do not seem to matter. While I can understand the group's intentions, I am attached to an action that is not true. My question or request for help centers around an article that I created in my Sandbox. I would like to finish off this project, which I think is adequately sourced. Is there a way for me to post the information on John F. Kimmons in my current status? Thanks for the help.

Bio for my bossHi Susan, thanks for the welcome. My boss wants me to get another lawyer from our firm a bio on Wikipedia as similar to his as possible. I've copied every bit of formatting and referencing possible from his page onto the new attorney's and nothing I do will get the page accepted and searchable. I've reviewed the help sections countless times as well. What more can I do to get this thing published?

I was trying to create an article based on my master's thesis topic. I am not sure if I should have somehow signed the article or if It is just in a hold until further review. Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome. Thanks for your help. S h hoffmann (talk) 02:43, 23 October 2012 (UTC) Hi Snowysusan Thank you for your response and advice.

Don't worry...I thank you for your review and comments. In the medical business, FDA approval is far from being "only legal". Such an approval is given to companies that proved the safety, effectiveness and clinical usage of the product using the technology. The unique about this company and similar companies which are in Wikipedia, is the novel technologies they use. 2. "You must find articles, newspapers, magazines, scholarly articles, peer reviews, etc., showing that your subject has received significant consideration by reliable third party sources." As I have indicated, there are many such articles in the internet written by independent and reliable sources. I will take your comments into consideration, add more references and submit it again for review.

All the subjects in this text are referenced. However it seems that you are still annoyed by the length of this article. If you wish to take a position not of a reviewer but of an editor, please tell me in your opinion which is the correct number of characters in which Avital's article should be limited, and I will cut it shorter.

Imexco General - RevisedHi Susan, As per your recommendations I have revised the article, added 5 more references in addition to the previous 2. In addition, there are 17 External Links (some maybe used as reference as well) Now I am confused as Matthew rejected the old version and not the new one. "This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Imexco General Ltd., which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one."

The article looks really great now. Ive gone through all the references and everything is now ok. Regarding reference 8, if you click on the link that was there: http://www.ima.umn.edu/new-directions/#Past what you need to do is actually scroll down to "current and past new direction professors". That then verifies that damelin was a new directions professor. This is a very competitive award. Actually the link does also indeed mention that he attended a two week workshop at the IMA but this relates to other work. The reason they put that statement there was because of a book damelin wrote on signal processing also mentioned in this present article which arose from that workshop. Given damelin was a new directions professor they are reporting back on significant achievements of their IMA new directions professors as well. In one of the links to George Andrews at Penn State, a ~ was missing. Also the word "distingushed" still appears in one place under Committee of Committees so I removed it. Every reference which is there now is supported by a reliable source, Ive checked the english, typos. Please let me know if there is anything else you need. Hope to hear from you re its status.

Bernard HeslingSnowsusan, re your message about proposed article. The first para of article follows Dictionary of Australian Artists Online article because I wrote the DAAO article but it became too long for them, that's why I decided Wikipedia article would be better. Mincht — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mincht (talk • contribs) 05:52, 26 October 2012 (UTC) Snowysusan, Re your queries about my DAAO article on Bernard Hesling. The original DAAO article was written by Joan Kerr in 1996 but it was brief, incomplete and incorrect. Joan Kerr died in 2004. As second contributor I replaced her article with mine last year. The third contributor to the article was 'fishel', the DAAO website administrator, whose contribution was to delete my para numbers and delete 'OAM' after Hesling. 'fishel' said that my article was good but too long for DAAO (which is a dictionary, not an encyclopedia). So I shortened it and am trying Wikipedia. I have now shortened and changed my DAAO article again to make the two articles more dissimilar. regards, Tony Minchin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mincht (talk • contribs) 07:19, 28 October 2012 (UTC) Dear Susan--did you have a chance to look at the revision --steve damelinDear Susan--did you have a chance to look at the revision - thanks so much for your help--let me know if you require anything else -steve damelin — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.243.131.132 (talk) 18:51, 26 October 2012 (UTC) Neohumanism ReviewHi, Thank you for your review, but I believe that there is some misunderstanding here. You wrote: "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at New Humanism instead." Unfortunately, the article, New Humanism, is not the subject on which I am writing. There have been many persons whose writings have been described as "neohumanism", but a Wikipedia search for "neohumanism" directs you to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neohumanism#Neohumanism. That is just a single paragraph in a much larger article about Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar. If you examine the article on Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, you will see that there are several sections that point to a "Main article". It is my opinion that the short paragraph on Neohumanism is good, but it does not do justice to the subject. Hence, a larger "main article" is required. Once the article I have written is accepted, I would then request assistance in creating a redirect of the Neohumanism link on Wikipedia to that main article, which greatly amplifies what is currently given. Please reconsider your evaluation of my submission on this basis. --Abhidevananda (talk) 11:07, 27 October 2012 (UTC) Francisco Mora Bio10/27/12 Dear Susan, I am responding to your rejection of the Francisco Mora Biography.... What type of references do you need? I have known Mr. Mora for over 25 years, personally met his parents and family, as well as knowing his musical mentors and associates... Also, since Mr. Mora Catlett is not as well-known as Wynton Marsalis or Max roach, there is not a lot written about him.Since I am a newcomer to Wkipedia, i want to know how to do this correctly.
