Helpful scriptHi! I noticed you had been tagging lots of draft articles with WikiProjects. I actually have a script that lets you do that, instead of navigating to the talk page first: User:Enterprisey/draft-sorter. Let me know what you think! Enterprisey (talk!) 01:38, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
New batch of film listsHi Worldbruce. Did you notice that all the deleted lists have been recreated? I'm preparing a bundled AFD of all those that are splits from List of Bangladeshi films. I'm in the process of cleaning it up now and putting data back. Sam Sailor 18:28, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
Thank you
Hi, Worldbruce. In trying to clean up (thanks, PeerBaba) a section of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, I realized that the last paragraph, whose sentences I had copyedited, did not seem to hang together as a logical narrative (if it ever had). I have referred to the paragraph's (poorly) cited sources, which link to biographies of Iskander Mirza and Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy at Story Of Pakistan a multimedia journey. Those biographies did not contain the narrative cited in that last paragraph. As I am no subject expert, and noticing your recent edit at the Iskander Mirza Talk page, I wonder if you might take a look at that problematic paragraph I mention above with an eye to its making more sense and being properly referenced. Thanks--Quisqualis (talk) 19:27, 2 February 2018 (UTC) Discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#BanglapediaYou are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Banglapedia.

Hi Worldbruce , Need some clarificaton on references for a new Wikipedia ArtcileHi Worldbruce, I got a chance to look at a comment on draft:Nelson Dilipkumar. I can understand that a wikipedia page cannot be added as a reference for a new article since they are user-generated. But I have added 5 other references to the article which are external links and those links are also references for some other wikipedia pages. If it was accepted as a reliable source earlier, why not now. And can you please give your valuable time on looking into my article and help me to classify which of them are not reliable and which sources can be reliable. As a beginner, I am really confused as there is no one particular person to get help from. I am hoping I will get some help from you. Please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SaranyaRethas (talk • contribs) 09:58, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Gary Stevenson PageHi Worldbruce - Thank you for your feedback on the Gary Stevenson page. The cited source provides that Gary is 61 years old, which means he was either born in 1956 or 1957 (he was born in 1956, but in any event, the current age range is inaccurate based on the source). I don't know of another source identifying his birth year as 1956 specifically, but if I do find one, I will update again. For the time being, I will insert the year of birth possibilities based on the source. KRedfoot (talk) 00:05, 16 July 2018 (UTC) KRedfoot

A cookie! Thanks for going the extra mile (kilometer? eight kilometers!) in finding additional news articles about the Tangshan earthquake. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 21:53, 17 July 2018 (UTC) Re: Declaration of ConnectionHello Worldbruce, Thank you for your response. It was very helpful. Yes, I am a paid user that was hired as an independent contractor by an agency to publish a general page for this athlete and other athletes and businesses, which are coming soon. I would very much like to follow the guidelines with respect to the Wiki community, and I am in no means attempting to over-promote any athlete or business or be involved in any "Black hat SEO" practices. I am just a newbie making newbie mistakes. However, it appears that I did not have a user profile set up, so I created one with the required disclosure. Can you please review my article for Jason Khalipa(Athlete)? I have a couple general questions as well. Do I need to create a new disclosure for every person/business in the same format that hires me to write their wikipedia page? What else should be on my user profile? Is that also a page for me where I should add my information? Am I allowed to create my own page? Lastly, how do I get cool stuff tagged to my page like you have? Patrick.Loera (talk) 21:54, 19 July 2018 (UTC) Thanks for the PSI don't remember creating that article, but it's always nice to see others like my editing. (Sometimes I wonder.)

(Earlier today, I was trying to make fixes on an iPhone, but I recognize that it is much more effective to be working on a real computer). I sat down calmly this evening, and rewrote the opening completely, using good source references that exist, the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_J._Marks The "early life" portion had to be cut, per your notations about the subject's family and his notable paternal uncle, for which external references simply aren't coming up anywhere (i.e. that they are relatives). They come up in the kinds of genealogy sites that can't be used here, (but not elsewhere, such as obituaries). I know that no two articles can be compared, but this was included insofar as many articles do cite people's family/ancestry without references. In any case, there's no major loss on that front. The more focused, important edits have been to the opening, and career, which is both shortened and more succinct, by the fact of having to eliminate the subject's early career (CNN accreditation and Cable Ace Award -- a reference that was difficult to locate, since the timeframe precedes the mainstream use of the Internet. I called CNN today to see if there was a way to that information, to verify; as expected, they do not give references for their journalists (due to possible lawsuit issues, etc.). This subject, as a journalist, was known to have been at CNN at a time in its history (throughout the OJ Simpson case) that precedes the time in which the public widely used the Internet for breaking news (people turned then to CNN cable news) -- so although Marks is listed in several places around the Internat as a producer from start to finish of the OJ Simpson case, CNN has no written record of this that could be used. So it has been cut. Similarly, National Geographic as an "early career" mention was cut, as no independent source exists (outside of a biography located online). The main thing is that the subject is a bona fide journalist and convener who is notable for his work in China and US in high-profile initiatives and pioneering campaigns for the environment. Worth the effort here. Many thanks for helping make this a good article with good references. The Green Salon and the International Earth Forum remain well-referenced, with sources readily at-hand. Thank you! Lettucecup (talk) 04:11, 25 July 2018 (UTC)Lettucecup Hi Worldbruce -- I'd like to warrant a good editorial resolution here for writing about a journalist (and notably, an environmental convener). It'll help me in writing articles in future too, as I am interested in journalists and their histories, as well as their contributions to society. First, thanks for the advice and for your editing. (I'm certainly very willing to be a partner here, to improve it as best I can, and not leave it to others.) Second, I am reticent -- right now -- to add content or context that was in prior drafts, that makes the piece interesting. Thus I went through and deleted unneeded references, at your request. Hopeful that the existing references now clearly provide the minimum WP:THREE ... and they ought to: Newsweek, LinkTV, ChinaDaily, The Atlantic, Washington Life, Best of DC are referenced to articles about the subject's role in the energy-environment convenings. Other references to key public documents for convenings (DOE, SISC China, and Webby Awards 2000) remain in the list as they may be the only references that remain and have not yet disappeared). Third, you rewrote the text for US Department of Energy. While the edit/cuts mirrors the existing reference (in which the subject is credited in a peer review report), it gives the absolute conclusion that the subject's only and primary communications role, in a full-time position (year-long) during the Recovery Act, was to organize materials for a 3-day peer review. That's misleading, and I think it's unfair to the subject. I have carefully looked at the report. From it, I added the nature of the role to the peer review, as is true, that the subject was a federal contractor, and established context re: the era (Recovery Act of 2009); and cited directly from the report that the formal peer review was "conducted by" DOE's Geothermal Technologies Program (GTP). Lastly ... and I feel this is important (it's where this person's career began as an accredited journalist): the subject was indeed a broadcast CNN journalist. In this process of verifying references, it became a major omission. As I noted earlier, is not referenced in an article, and CNN does not verify anyone not on-air (such as producers), given that it is broadcast cable television, not print. How can we do it well? To be fair to this article and subject, I'd like to replace it. Thanks, and have a good week. I'll try to edit once more this evening.

Therefore, I have a question for you regarding an article on a Bangladeshi politician from Barisal with the name Mansiha Chakraborty. She has got significant coverage by the major newspapers of Bangladesh and is the first female mayoral candidate for Barisal City Corporation. However, the article was nominated for speedy deletion and later got deleted. Vinegarymass911 mentioned that we do not have articles on candidates and therefore the article was deleted. Do you also agree to this generalized comment on notability for politicians? Thanks in advance! --Kaisernahid (talk) 22:41, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Spicy Onion part deuxHi W, just to follow up on the Spicy Onion query at WP:ICTF, your evaluations were correct--no obvious editorial standard, no presumption of fact-checking or accuracy, etc. Many of these sorts of references are no-brainers and you can basically tell by looking at them that they all follow the same general cookie-cutter blog shape. A rough list of sites that are/are not considered reliable can be found at WP:ICTF#Guidelines on sources, and a more detailed list can be found at WP:ICTFFAQ. However the human eyes are sometimes the best gauge: if it looks like a blog, kill it with fire. Many of these sorts of sites simply scrape information from other sources. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:54, 9 August 2018 (UTC) Objection to redirect of The North Jefferson NewsI have been away from Wikipedia and did not see the deletion request for The North Jefferson News. If I had, I would have certainly objected. The nominator merely said it fails WP:GNG but gave no supporting evidence whatsoever. The NJN is a weekly newspaper that is part of the CNHI chain, and other weeklies within that chain have articles. This newspaper has been in business for nearly half a century, and the article about it has been around for nine years with only a quickly-removed PROD that was not acted upon further. If there is away to object to this redirect after the deadline, I wish to do so now. I see no way in which this newspaper fails GNG. (By the way, I retired two years ago, though I still do freelance work, and I no longer have any association with this newspaper.) Realkyhick (talk) 04:16, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Reverse Logistics AssociationI'd like to thank you for your comments about Notability, in regards to my draft page about the Draft:Reverse Logistics Association, and apologize that it took me some time to get back to you. I would also like to apologize if this is not the preferred way to respond to your points, but I thought it was. It seems that the standard for professional organizations that is in use is not the one outlined in the Notability page, and I would say that this is a good thing. The Wall Street Journal only has had brief mentions of the organization I have written about, this is true. However, the WSJ only asks for information from recognized experts in a given field. The fact that the Wall Street Journal and Forbes have turned to the Reverse Logistics Association, multiple times, for information, is what should validate the organization as being thought leaders in the field. The proof of the stature of an organization is not solely based on having been profiled in publications. This logic seems to be supported by the pages for other organizations, as well. I just looked at some of the organizations listed here: List of industry trade groups in the United States. I only looked at National organizations, and I only looked at the first column of “Advertising, Business and Marketing” organizations, representing 13 organizations. (“Ad 2” redirects to American Advertising Federation, so there are only 13 unique organizations there). However, all of the following 10 articles, I would argue, have received less media attention that has the RLA, and have less to point to, in the way of “substantial” coverage.
These 10 organizations don’t provide links to any substantial coverage anywhere outside of their own publications. In this very small sample, the RLA has more media coverage than over two-thirds of the organizations’ pages I looked at. A small number of those organizations are able to point to something outside its own publications:
In short, it would seem that the de facto standard for professional and trade organizations is not as stringent as that which is described on the Notability page. Either 2/3 of those organizations have to have their pages taken down, or it must be admitted that the standard for trade organizations is not as stringent as the general standard for organizations. Because the RLA has more evidence for significance than these organizations, I would argue that either the RLA page needs to be allowed, or else these other groups need to have their pages taken down. And I believe that these organizations deserve to have their organizations listed in Wikipedia, not taken down. I would argue that a different standard should be applied to not-for-profit trade associations than for other organizations. Every adult in the US is a potential customer of a car company or electronics company (or AAA or AARP, etc.) so magazines like to publish articles about them, because people like to read articles about them. For trade associations, however, there is a very small number of people who might be interested in any one organization, so there is no incentive for magazines to publish articles about them. Magazines just don’t write in-depth articles about trade associations the way they do about companies or other groups. Notability is an important criteria, because it prevents someone from writing an article about their favorite bowling alley. But I would argue that for professional organizations, notability should be based on what an organization has done, not where it has been profiled.
