Denial of speedy deletion of Russell P. Hughes

Hey, I denied the speedy you put on Russell P. Hughes for CSD G12. Looking at the copy violation report, I only see basic terms that match. Nothing really stands out as a blatant violation. There are some similarities, but this being written about the same subject, I think that will tend to happen.  {MordeKyle}  ☢ 23:26, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

What is the reason you declined the article submission of Suparwono? 180.246.181.135 (talk) 09:18, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Latarmá River

Thanks for reviewing my work, but please slow down with the templating. You put tags on Latarmá River one minute after I created it (it is a translation from the es-article). If you had stopped to look at my edit history, you'd have seen that I created another article on a Spanish river yesterday and that it looked fine after 30 minutes of work. Or you might have looked at my edit history over the last 9 years and seen that after 113,000+ edits, and 4,200+ new articles, I don't leave articles in poor form. I mention all this as I'm concerned that newer editors might get discouraged if the same thing were to happen a minute after they create an article.

Review of Vsuality Systems

Hi, Thanks for your review of my page on Visuality Systems. For notability of this page, I believe there are sufficient number of sources from diverse perspectives that indicate that the topic is noteworthy. Still I would be glad if you could indicate what is missing, required or where improvements are needed so as to make the page comply with publication guidelines.

Thanks, Amitwikia (talk) 14:52, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

DGG or SwisterTwister mind looking at this? Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ Talk 16:50, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
Amitwikia, the article assets (or at least implies) that the firm developed the Server Message Block] protocol. It did not. The protocol was developed at IBM long before the company was founded. Nor is it, as the article implies, the only supplier. Rather, I suspect the company is one of the dozens of firms that supply software that use the protcol, aa the article itself does go on to say in section 2. Nor is it the inventor or only supplier of the Samba implementation . The references are either the companies own press releases piublished on various sites, or mere notices, on totally generic to the program. DGG ( talk ) 21:12, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

question

why is this page OK to be on Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crnogorska_komercijalna_banka) and the one i created isn't? What am i missing here? Naz081 (talk) 05:59, 21 December 2016 (UTC) =

Need specifics -- what is "advertisement-toned"?

Hi Zppix, thank you for weighing in again on the draft article for creation on Credible. [1] After your previous rejection of the piece, you declined to address a request for specifics on how to better achieve neutral point of view in the article. [2] Nevertheless, substantive edits were made to the piece based on Wikipedia guidelines and it was resubmitted in the hopes that another editor would give it a closer reading and provide useful feedback. Your latest rejection, which states that the article "Still appears advertisement-toned," once again leaves anyone wishing to improve the article guessing. It would be helpful if you could at least point out which sections of the article are not written in a neutral point of view. 162.245.21.61 (talk) 01:46, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Please read WP:NOTADVERT for more information on how to remove advertisement toned content. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ Talk 19:38, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Zppix. I am familiar with that detailed and clear guidance (see our previous discussion) [3]. The article has been written to "maintain a neutral point of view," in "an objective and unbiased style" that is "free of puffery." It is supported by multiple independent, third-party sources (The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, NBC Nightly News, CNBC, Inc., Bloomberg News, Fortune, CNN Money, U.S. News and World Report). I am asking you to point out any specific examples of language that you consider to be "advertisement-toned content" in the draft. You are using a subjective term and applying it to the entire article. Your feedback does not seem to be provided in the spirit of helping to improve the article. 162.245.21.61 (talk) 18:23, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

really curious

Hi, you reviewed my submission of WeCare Solar and referred me to the guidelines for nonprofits:

Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards: The scope of their activities is national or international in scale. The organization has received significant coverage in multiple[2] reliable sources that are independent of the organization.


We work in 30 countries, so clearly meet the first criterion. In the submission, I cited coverage from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, BBC, Reuters, CNN and the United Nations. I really don't know what more one could do. We are saving the lives of mothers in childbirth in the countries with the worst maternal mortality rates in the world, and doing it with sustainable energy. What could be more global, or more significant?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you. Robinpeggy (talk) 22:56, 30 December 2016 (UTC)robinpeggy

SwisterTwister, could probably help you, but Robinpeggy before you start working on making it follow WP:NORG's guidelines i suggest making it sound a lot more less WP:ADVERTy. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ Talk 22:59, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
