No reliable sources can be found describing this organization, which therefore fails to meet WP:GNG. Passing references to UMEF do not bolster its case. The UN Global Compact refers to UMEF as "Delisted... Expelled due to failure to communicate progress."
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Hi Deisenbe. You are keeping long lists of articles at User:Deisenbe. What do you want that page to look like? Do you want the lists to be in columns and or smaller font? Do you read the list mostly on the desktop or a mobile device? It might be time to make subpages of your user page and move sections into those pages to keep things easier to read.

That's okay, StarryGrandma. And I'm sorry about the trout. I've given out only a few in my time, and I feel rather guilty. Let's all call it water under the bridge. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:43, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
03:12:42, 2 May 2017 review of submission by Zhuojun
Thank you for reviewing the biography I wrote for my colleague, John C. Pollock. I added two things that may help clear up the concerns you had with the previous version:
1) I added many of Dr. Pollock's publications
2) I included a reference to his Google Scholar page, which estimates that his work has been cited over 600 times.
Can you please advise me of any other modifications I might make to help get this approved? This is only my second Wikipedia entry, so I appreciate your patience.
I received your email regarding my attempt to add the new entry titled "Dan H. Yaalon". I have the whole text and illustrations in order to insert this entry to Wikipedia, however, I find it too difficult to do, as I'm not that good with computers. I kindly ask your help with adding this entry to Wikipedia. I have no idea how can contact you, hoping that you see this message and agree to contact me again (via my email, as you just did) and leave any email address or phone by which I can contact you.
Best wishes,

DESiegel, you were great to look through all of those references. I had looked at the just the last references added. The award article looked fine, but as you say depends on the reputation of the award. The December 9, 2015 article at MachinenMarkt was based on the December 7, 2015 press release on the company website. The dates are confusing since the 9/12/2105 (European style date) got translated to 12 August 2015. At that point I decided to ask the editor to pick out two references since Google translate mixed with my limited German is a slow process. As I look further, the three part article by a free-lance writer in MachinenMarkt could well be independent. The two-part Electrotechnik article by Sariana Kunze on Decemer 12, 2015 shows what a press release is supposed to do, trigger a look at the company. She interviewed a professor and provided some context as well as interviewing the company spokesman. I was hoping to have the article author pick out which was independent and which wasn't. It is a very interesting company, though young. The article should say more about what it does, since there are references for that. StarryGrandma (talk) 00:50, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi StarryGrandma,
I listed two independent and notable sources where you specified, and I added more sources. The sources in which you point out that the writer is associated with the company are written by the founder of the company, so I thought it was more directly informational than advertisement. Would you mind having another look?
Thanks so much, Daninguyen0 (talk) 12:01, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I've used that example in my further comments over at Wikidata. Actually showing that people at individual wikis are trying to remedy gaps in the process hopefully will add a bit of urgency at Wikidata to finishing the implementation, which is incomplete unless plain editors can contribute corrections.
Also the 'uses' vs. 'tracks' question may be resolved simply by again referring to that same template. Looks like 'uses' is correct until you know for sure that 'tracks' is also needed. Thank you again. Shenme (talk) 22:51, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A kitten for you!
For a second there I thought your username was ScaryGrandma.
Yes, I didn't provide a cite. Your appropriate response would be, in decreasing order of preference:
(1) To help Wikipedia by locating an appropriate citation and adding it.
(2) To add a "citation needed" note.
(3) To send a message to me, asking me to provide a cite.
Not on the list is to delete my informative change without even notifying me, and thereby to degrade the quality of information at Wikipedia.
Just because I did not include a citation does not make my change incorrect!
To the contrary, I would be more inclined to take the time to hunt for a citation if I needn't worry about counterproductive edits such as yours.
This happened back in February. If you had just put the material in I might have done so. But you removed part of a sentence and the two references supporting it, and replaced it with an unsupported statement. Your edit summary was Correct error. Remove dead and pay-per-view links. However the links were not dead and it does not matter if sources are behind a paywall. Most academic journals are behind a paywall. There was no need to remove what you did to add a sentence about Bruno. As to response, please read Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. When reverted go to the talk page of the article and start a discussion. StarryGrandma (talk) 15:27, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
