Could you please review the name of "The All Results Articles"? You edited it in 8th October. The real name of the set of Total open access peer-reviewed scientific journals in "The All Results Journals" Thanks a lot in advance. bsuarezjimenez (talk) 28 October 2013 (UTC)
Tamra-Tacoma Capital Partners speedy deletion
Thank you for the message. I'm trying to add, edit and clean up private equity pages on WP. This firm seems to fit the WP guidelines for noteworthiness especially after the Bloomberg reference. My intention is to further clean up the page, as well as the Lake Capital and NS Capital pages as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PEdatasouece (talk • contribs) 16:11, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Review
I am autopatrolled, and that's why the article I created is automatically tagged as reviewed. Regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 02:11, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
please remember
to always give an edit summary saying you're putting on a speedy tag. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don;t , and when you don;t it makes it harder for us overworked admins to see where to look.
btw, you missed the ref on Liu Chuang (artist) and you din;t check the links to see the notability on Ariel Investments. You're doing good work, but remember that accuracy matters. DGG ( talk ) 04:14, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Teoria da Interligação Cósmica
Hello Vanjagenije. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Teoria da Interligação Cósmica, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: not an A2, because it does not exist on another WP such as pt-wiki. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 10:11, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- A2 is for articles copied here from an other-language WP. They need to be deleted because it's a breach of the license terms to post them here without attributing all the original contributors - the proper way to import articles is described at WP:Translation. For what to do with other foreign-language contributions see WP:NPP#Dealing with foreign language new pages. There is a useful list at WP:PNT/T of messages, many bilingual, which can be used to point a foreign-language contributor to his home WP. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:07, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. This will help me a lot. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:10, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing Tabiat Bridge, Vanjagenije.
Unfortunately EuroCarGT has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:
The page seems to be created by a member close to the bridge construction group as stated on the See More section, "To see more of our works please visit our website..."

speedy deletion criterion a7 does not apply to schools. And saying someone is managing director of a company in WP may not prove notability, but it does show enough importance to pass Speedy. please read WP:CSD before you nominate any further articles for deletion DGG ( talk ) 16:18, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- actually, I think it would be a good idea is you stopped reviewing new articles altogether for a while, until you become more familiar with the guideline. Though, as I said yesterday, you have been doing some good work, you have also been making too many errors. It is very important that we treat new editors with consideration, because otherwise, they may never return. The survival of wp depends on new editors. DGG ( talk ) 16:26, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- For the record, I agree with DGG, and I've reverted your speedy deletion template on UME Preparatory Academy. I would recommend using the page curation tool to observe other editors at work, particularly in nominating pages for deletion, and to review the Criteria for speedy deletion.

Page Phillip TK Yin nominated for speedy deletion
Hello, I noticed that you nominated the page I created "Phillip TK Yin" for speedy deletion as the picture I used was hosted on a site with a license not compatible with Wikipedia, though the picture was provided by my company, and is of the person whom I am creating the page on behalf of. Is there a way this notification can be taken down and this picture or another of him can be used? I'm fairly new to this and am not sure how to properly upload a picture through the right channels without being deleted for some reason. I can assure you that the picture belongs to my company though I am happy to cite it correctly if you have any advice how I can do that. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abossonecctv (talk • contribs) 22:57, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hello! The reason I proposed the article for deletion has nothing to do with the picture. The problem is that you created the article "Phillip TK Yin" on Wikipedia, but you copy-pasted text from a web site [1]. This web site is protected by copyrights. It doesn't matter weather the site belongs to you or your company, copyrights are protected. Wikipedia is created as free encyclopedia. That means that any text on Wikipedia must be free to share and remix. You cannot put some copyrighted text to Wikipedia word-by-word. You have to retell it in your words. You should read these articles to find out more about Wikipedia rules (called "Wikipedia policies"):
- I see that you improved the article considerably, so I removed the speedy deletion proposal. You are welcomed to continue contributing to Wikipedia, just be sure to follow it's policies. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or go to the Teahouse. If an article you've written gets deleted because you breached some policies, you should not panic! You can crate the article again, but in a way that complies with Wikipedia policies. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:31, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

- Great! Thank you for your help, I'll be sure to try and fix the article to comply with Wikipedia's guidelines Abossonecctv (talk) 23:45, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
The majority of the article was still a copy violation. I put it on afd because it fails WP:BIO. I know Abossonecctv has good intentions and look forward to him contributing in areas not so close to themself. Surfer43 (talk) 02:07, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I took it off because tere were sources in the copyvio version. Abossonecctv, please re-write without a copyvio using those sources, or make the source page release under CC-By-Sa or Public Domain. Surfer43 (talk) 02:19, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Vibhut Shah
Hello Vanjagenije,
I am writing in response to your message about deletion of the article I created. The person Vibhut Shah is a very well known Gujarati author of India and has won many awards. There are various published materials about him and his work; he has been interviewed by radio and television media as well, however they are in Gujarati language as his literature is in Gujarati. There is not much written about him on the Internet yet and this article is the attempt to do so. I read the reliable sources guidelines and I understand that I can use his publishers as a reliable source. Is this correct? Please advise.
Thank you,

- Hello! I really believe you that the subject of the article is notable. But, the problem is that Wikipedia has very strict rules about articles on living people (so called "Biographies of living persons"). Every article on living person has to have at least one external reference (reference to a web site, book, newspapers, ...) which explains why the person is notable. You included two references, but one is just a list of books, says nothing about the author, while the other one is broken. The article will not be deleted for a week, so you have plenty of time to find and include references. In order to understand the rules of Wikipedia, you should read those articles:
- You are welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. If you have any question, feel free to ask me, or visit the Teahouse.

Serbian help needed
Hello Vanjagenije, I'm contacting you because we need some Serbian translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on sr.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need help with a personal message for the Serbian Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral. Thanks for your time, PEarley (WMF) (talk) 22:46, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
- OK, no problem. I can help translating from English to Serbian. Just explain me exactly what to do. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:28, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
- Vanjagenije, thanks for helping. Here are the priority pages, simply click "translate this page" at the top to get started:
- the User Guide, Serbian 20% complete.
- Portal/Description page, Serbian 0% complete (this one is important because the translation can become the main VE page on sr.wiki, which doesn't have a VE general description page yet).
- FAQ, Serbian is 0% complete. Any progress you can make with these three will help sr.wiki users get up to date on VE. Let me know if you have any questions/issues. PEarley (WMF) (talk) 17:38, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

I've added references to the article, Humboldt 12:59, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
I removed the speedy deletion on this article as it was created a month before the user was blocked and the block notice doen't indicate what multiple accounts were being used.

Otherwise try contacting [[User:Ponyo] who blocked the account and may remember what other account were in use. Rmhermen (talk) 13:13, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, this is because I was using wp:page curation tool, and it shows a notice "This page was created by a blocked user.". I did not properly check the issue, it's my mistake. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:49, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
page curation
Hello, I noticed that you are working on page curation. It looks like you may have clicked "mark page reviewed" then separately added tags. That is an extra step. If you are adding tags, that will automatically mark a page reviewed. If you look at the page curation log here you'll find that quite a few pages you're reviewed are marked reviewed twice. It isn't a huge problem, it's just that you're doing an extra step when you don't have to. JanetteDoe (talk) 16:20, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hi! I've noticed that from the very beginning, but there is a reason I'm doing that (albeit maybe wrong reason). When I open a page for curation, I need some time, maybe few minutes, to review the page and see if some tags are needed. But while I'm doing that, the page is still marked as unreviewed, so maybe some other reviewer may come to the page to review it. That way two people would be doing the same job, which is wasting of time. So, as soon as I open the page for curation, I mark it as reviewed, so that other reviewers would not waste their time on it. Then I carefully read the page to see if some tags are needed or it should be deleted or whatever. I am right or am I just too careful? Vanjagenije (talk) 16:30, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, I know what you mean. I also have had cases where other reviewers stepped on pages I was working on, or I stepped on theirs. When I saw this happening, I scrolled down a few dozen articles on the list and started from there instead of from the very back of the list. JanetteDoe (talk) 04:37, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion_requests/Not_official_materials2
FYI: commons:User_talk:Fastily#Commons:Deletion_requests.2FNot_official_materials2. I don't have a problem with your deletion requests, but at the minimum you should notify uploaders, particularly if you bundle twenty images from different batches into a single nomination. I'm reasonably convinced my images weren't actually PD-SerbiaGov, and even if they were I could have offered free replacements before they were deleted and delinked. Not that you can't find me; while my commons talk page didn't display {{Notify me}}, you didn't post even there. As you saw on your commons talk page, people tend to get pissed off when they see their work deleted without a trace of WP:BEFORE, i.e. a minimal attempt to find a replacement, displayed. No such user (talk) 10:53, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
- I am absolutely sure that I notified all the uploaders about deletion requests. The only explanation I can think of is that somebody else actually uploaded those images. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:01, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
- I found it. Those files were uploaded by Commons:User:Duja, and he was properly notified. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:04, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
- OK, I apologize, then. I created some derived works, and used those files in the templates and articles I created later, so I mistook them for my own. Still, how they got tagged with PD-SerbiaGov is a mystery to me. No such user (talk) 14:23, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Vanjagenije, thank you for the heads up on the deletion of Technology Business Management. I work for a nonprofit who's mission it is to oversee the creation of this methodology. We want to outline the facts of this practice on wikipedia for those people who have never heard of it before and are seeking a non-biased article discussing it. I am nearly complete with a well cited article (referencing HBR, Forrester, Gartner, cio.com, etc) on the subject matter and had planned to post it next week. I was unaware I was breaking procedure (my fault, obviously) by posting a shorter article before completing the longer one. Is there a process in place that allows recreating this page once the article is fully created and ready for broader community scrutiny? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated. Shswanson (talk) 20:17, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
- You are free to crate the article with the same title again. If the new version is compatible with Wikipedia policies, there will be no problem. There is no special procedure, just create the article same way again. But, be sure the new version is compatible with this rule: Wikipedia:Notability. The first version of the article you created did not follow this rule, and that is the reason it was deleted. Feel free to ask anything you want. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:27, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion
Hi, just in reply to your speedy deletion post - are we able to use Logicalis' Linkedin page as a source? Just because if I'm talking about the company then their website would have all of the content covered which is why I have mentioned it as a reference. Is that not enough or even though the information has ben taken from Logicalis UK Linkedin/ offical website, would I still need to re-write the text? Thanks Bargyy (talk) 13:40, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- The official web site, or any other reliable web site, can be freely used as a source. But, no text may be plainly copied from any web site unless there is formal evidence that the text is not copyrighted. Copying copyrighted text from other web sites, books, newspapers, etc. is not allowed in Wikipedia. You should read more about this rule here: WP:COPYOTHERS.

Hi, Thanks for posting the link - I had a read through. Is it right that I have understood if I seek permission from the company and they reply with the correct answers than I would be able to use the content as it is? I read this on the declaration of consent page; I would ask them to fill out the form on this page also so that it shows I have got the correct permissions. By doing this and if I am successful in gaining the permission would it mean I could keep the page as is? Many thanks for your help, Bargyy (talk) 12:25, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yes. You can copy a text to Wikipedia only if the author (or copyrights holder) explicitly agrees to publish the content under a CC-BY-SA-compatible license. See more here: Wikipedia:Non-free content. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:47, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Serbian and Notifications
Greetings!
Thank you for helping with translations. It is invaluable work! I was wondering if you could help out with a small translation project.
We are releasing Notifications to the Serbian Wikipedia next week. There are still three priorities to double check for translations to make sure they are complete and accurate so that the Wikipedia gets the best experience possible:
- Echo on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
- Thanks on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
- Notifications help on mediawiki.org. This page can be hosted after translation on mediawiki.org or we can localize it to this Wikipedia.
If you have any questions you can email me, kpeterzell [AT] wikimedia [DOT] org or you can contact me on my meta talk page. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 04:16, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Full-size Ford (1969-1978)
This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... this was created as a partial split of the larger article mentioned (making this ineligible for speedy deletion?). While the larger article does indeed have a similar title, it features a much wider range of content chronologically. For the most part, this is no different than the use of the Ford Panther platform article in the Full-size Ford article. --SteveCof00 06:07, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
- I proposed the article for deletion. My opinion is that the article was too close in its scope to the already existing article Full-size Ford, and that it was not significantly expand the topic. My opinion is that the topic should be inserted into the existing article, not split into new article. If you think your article should be undeleted, talk to the administrator who deleted it (User:Yunshui) or try Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:06, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

If Ram Chander Sihag is really a "living legend" as you claim, than it should be easy for you to find external references and include them in the article (See Wikipedia:Referencing).

Blocked users
I've declined your speedy on the Ind Govt Jobs article, as the user wasn't blocked when they created it - unless you know they were a sock of someone else already blocked, that is. That criterion only really applies to sockpuppets as a blocked editor can't create an article while blocked. However, I've tagged the article A7 as there's no indication of significance (for me, at least). Depending on who reviews it, it could go to prod or AfD. Peridon (talk) 14:35, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, this is an obvious mistake I've made. I wanted to tagg it as A7, but I've placed a wrong tag, as the page curation tool was alerting me that the creator is blocked user (By the way, that "blocked user" alert in page curation is completely useless, as the blocked user cannot create a page). Vanjagenije (talk) 14:38, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
- I looked at PC, tried a couple of edits with it, and went back to Twinkle. I think it causes more problems than it solves - especially as, unless they've updated it, it doesn't list user page edits. I used to patrol edits by new users before I got the mop, and got a lot that way. I think that's probably what Mean as Custard does. Peridon (talk) 14:51, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Some ways to Understand The Right Identifying Company For Your Business To Help It Build
Hello Vanjagenije. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Some ways to Understand The Right Identifying Company For Your Business To Help It Build, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: this is not an A1 - it is not "very short" and the context is clear. Let the PROD for NOTHOWTO take care of it. JohnCD (talk) 13:13, 17 October 2013 (UTC). Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 13:13, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Request for Information; Ryan Ruocco article
I just edited the Ryan Ruocco article attempting to cleanup the issues addressed when you inserted a multiple issues tag into the article.
I'm trying to learn how to be a better editor; so my question is...
After making an edit to address "wiki concerns", do I remove the tag that has been inserted or do I leave it in place? If left in place (as I did in this instance), how do I call attention to reviewers that I've attempted to address issues raised in the review tag?
Thanks, in advance.
Mikeylito (talk) 18:03, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
- If you fix a problem and you think the problem is completely solved, you are free to removed the tag, of course. If you solve a problem partially, but you think there is still work to do, you can leave the tag and write on the article talk page what you've done and what you think should be done.

Undeletion request
I request the undeletion of various files from the Emeric Tauss Torday article. I have the explicit permission from the heiress of the paintings. Anithing you need for the proof of it I can obtain it. Thanks Elifervil (talk) 13:55, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
- You uploaded those files to Wikimedia Commons and claimed them to be your "own work" (which is incorrect, since those are works by Tauss Torday). The files were then nominated for deltion (by me) since Wikimedia Commons do not allow copyrighted works to be uploaded. You were notified about the deletion request on your talk page ([2]), and the deletion discussion was open for one week (here), but you did not participate. After no objections, files were deleted by User:Jameslwoodward (who is Commons administrator). If you have explicit permission from the copyrights holder to use those files, you should send the permission using OTRS system. Then, you can request undeletion of the files here. But, remember: you must have explicit permission to use the files under free content license (see here: [3]). Vanjagenije (talk) 14:05, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Article for deletion
Hello, After fixing critical issues with the article "Ilan Shiloah", will it still left nominated for deletion in the following days? I'd appreciate an answer. Thank you.glovex104 (talk) 15:27, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, when the article is proposed for deletion, we have to wait until the discussion is closed by an administrator. If you fixed the problems, than the article will probably not be deleted, but you have to wait until the end of the discussion. You can learn more about this process here: WP:AFD. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:25, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, despite fixing critical issues with the article, it was relisted to be deleted and two admins voted in the meantime for deletion. Examenaning other articles in the category (israeli buisnesspeople) show that many of them are not displaying superior standards to the one I wrote. Looking at other articles is one of the ways a new editor can evaluate how to write an article. I feel like I'm being judged harshly here, can you please take a look and see if I'm right? Thank you. Glovex104 (talk) 18:40, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- I understand how you feel, but you have to understand how Wikipedia works. One of the most important concepts of Wikipedia is wp:Notability. Only persons and things that are notable enough may have article in Wikipedia. Notability is evidenced trough reliable independent sources. For example, if there are newspaper articles or books about some person, than he is probably notable. So, it's not just about how the article looks like. You maybe wrote a good article, but a problem is that you did not prove the person is notable. In order to do that, you have to cite some newspapers or websites (wp:independent sources) about his life, not just about his company. Vanjagenije (talk) 18:59, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- Will it help citing them if they are in a different language than English?Glovex104 (talk) 16:36, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Re: Proposed deletion of Daoiz Uriarte
Dear Vanjagenije: I maybe wrong but article already has a reference, the equivalent article on the Spanish Wikipedia (like many others translated articles that only have that for a reference). Anyway, I already added a new one but is seems impossible to find more references in english. If you like, I can quote the same references that shows in the the original article (all in spanish). Regards, Nenuchito (talk) 21:06, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) The BLPPROD was probably applied correctly in that there was nothing precisely qualifying as a reference, though external links were already present. Spanish Wikipedia is a reference in an unreliable source. Oddly, if present in the article as a reference, this would have made the BLPPROD invalid, but an interwiki link is not a reference at all, merely a link of convenience. The BLPPROD process is somewhat arcane. One may not place a BLPPROD if any reference at all, however poor, however unreliable exists in the article, but it may not be removed unless a WP:RS reference is present. You need to concentrate on finding a WP:RS reference for the article, after which the BLPPROD may be removed. Fiddle Faddle 22:06, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hi! At the moment I proposed the article for deletion, it did not have any references, but two "external links". Those external links do not even mention Daoiz Uriarte, so those cannot be considered sources. Wikipedia policy is that every article on living person must have at least one source (see here: wp:BLP). If you have reliable sources in Spanish, or any other language, fell free to include them in the article. There is no rule saying that sources have to be in English (see here: WP:Citing sources). But, be sure that sources are wp:reliable, otherwise they are useless. Vanjagenije (talk) 07:42, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Vanjagenije, Thanks for the tips. I invite you to check the last updates on the article and give me a feedback in order to improve it. Regards, Nenuchito (talk) 16:25, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

First of all, thanks a lot for editing The All Results Journals page.
I write you to tell you that the full name of the group of journals is THE ALL RESULTS JOURNALS and each journals that compose THE ALL RESULTS JOURNALS have its corresponding name depending on the discipline to which they relate.
Would you be so kind and edit again the name of the set of Total open access peer-reviewed scientific journals in order to appear after searching in Wikipedia "THE ALL RESULTS JOURNALS" instead of "The All Results Articles"?

Re. Transition Design
Hello. Thank you for your contribution. I'm a bit confused over your labelling of this page a 'dead end' since it had multiple links to other wiki pages. Perhaps I am misunderstanding the meaning of 'Dead End', I am new to Wikipedia. Anyway, there are now more links to other wiki articles, I hope the problem is addressed. Since I am new to Wikpedia I am unfamiliar with the 'talk' protocol, so I'm sorry if this message doesn't come with all the correct information.User:Noegid (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:20, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hi! You understood it right. At the moment I tagged the article, it had only a few links to other Wikipedia articles. There was only one link in the wp:lead section, so I tagged it as a "dead end" although it was not a complete dead end. Maybe I should have tagged it with the Template:Underlinked, but the message is the same: article needs more wp:links to integrate it into Wikipedia. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:42, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for your comment about posting Transition Design Framework in the Transition Design Article. It is the first time I have posted an image on Wikipedia and am a bit confused. I am one of three co-creators of the diagram. It hasn't been published online before. It was used as part of a presentation given at the AIGA national conference, 2013. After posting it up, I realised we forgot to put our names on the diagram so I removed it to make the necessary additions. I will not repost until I have cleared up the issue you raise. Thanks.--Noegid (talk) 18:27, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello again.
Thanks for correcting upper/lower case on 'Transition Design'. I've been a bit confused about the correct thing to do here, on reflection I think you're right. I have revised all instances of 'transition design' accordingly.
On the other matter of your offer of assistance about procedure in putting up an image, thank you, I think I'll take you up on that since I haven't had a reply from the person who sent the alert. The image was created by three of us. Am I correct in understanding that I need to send emails with written permission from the other two to 'permissions-en@wikimedia.org'? Is that all I need to do? Do I have to wait until Wikimedia replies to put up the image? Thank you again for your assistance.--Noegid (talk) 17:14, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
- You don't need to wait. You can upload the image first and than send permission via e-mail after that. You don't have to wait for reply. Vanjagenije (talk) 02:59, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi again
I uploaded the file 'Transition Design Framework.png', filled out a 'declaration of consent', received permission emails from my two coauthors, and sent all of these to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Since I posted it an alert notice has been on the image page saying it will be removed saying that permission had not been granted, but I have been hoping this notice would be removed once permissions were processed. This did not happen, and the image has just been removed, (by a bot, apparently). I am baffled about all of this- what else can I do to register permission? Thanks.--Noegid (talk) 15:00, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
- As far as I understand, the image was deleted seven days after it was uploaded because the permission was not processed in that time. You sent the permission too late. But, if the permission e-mail was recieved, than the image should be undeleted. You should go to Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion and request the image to be undeleted. Be sure to explain that you've sent the permission to the OTRS team via e-mail. I expect the image to be undeleted without much problem. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:52, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Sonika
Hello Vanjagenije Thank you for reviewing my page. This is in response to the message you left for me, regarding the page I created. This is the first page that I have been able to create. Wikipedia is quite difficult to learn. Regarding the sources, it is not as easy as you might think for persons who live outside of North America, to draw on the typical sources. This is a big part of the issue. What ends up happening is that some of us who live in the 'Third World' are not able to create pages, because the sources we have, are not the typical sources that North Americans would use. Additionally, the individuals we refer to may not have their own webpages or be cited on those, journals or popular magazines and so forth. Also, many persons in my country, for example, are not on Wikipedia. Many things that can be referenced on Wikipedia aren't, because they either don't use it due to the difficulty level or they can't get approval to post their information on Wikipedia. It is very frustrating. However, I am very grateful for your feedback. I will go back and see what I can adjust to make the article more suitable. The artist really needs to have this page done and she is a notable character in my country and the region. If you have the time to give more specific pointers, I would be happy to receive them. I really do not want this page deleted. It took a lot of hard work to put it together and everything there is correct - perhaps not based on the Wikipedia sources current standards - but it is. Thanks again. I appreciate your help and I look forward to hearing from you. Asierramoore (talk) 21:00, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I understand that editing pages in Wikipedia seems complicated for someone new, but it isn't really so. Important thing is to get familiar with Wikipedia rules before editing. There are Wikipedia help pages explaining basic rules, and I already posted those links to your talk page. wp:Citing sources is one of the most important aspects of Wikipedia. Anything written in Wikipedia must have source cited, so that anybody can verify that statement. Wikipedia does not allow us to write anything that is not already written in the books, newspapers, journals, etc. Wikipedia just compiles the knowledge from different sources, it does not create new knowledge. So, everything that is written in Wikipedia must have source. Source must be wp:reliable. For example, Facebook profile or some internet forum is not reliable source because anybody can write anything there. But, for example, a text in New York Times is reliable. If the topic of the article is wp:notable, than there must be some sources. If a person is popular and well known, than there must be some newspapers or internet portals writing about that person. You have to understand that sources for articles do not need to be in English, and do not need to be online sources. A book or a journal can be a good source if it is reliable. I guess there are newspapers and journals in Grenada, and if the person is really notable in your country, than it is not hard to find some newspapers article about that person. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:51, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Your reponse has been noted and I will try to adjust the article. Thank you.
Asierramoore (talk) 00:33, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
I have made the necessary adjustments. Please let me know what else I need to do. Asierramoore (talk) 02:19, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
- I see that you somewhat improved the article. Now, there are some reliable and verifiable sources cited. But, still, there are many irrelevant sources. For example, in the first sentence of the article you write that "her professional career began when she was approached, by the Manager of Metronome Records". For this statement you cite the Metronome Records official site home page ([4]), but on that page there is no evidence that "her professional career began when she was approached...". So, that citation is useless, as it cannot verify the statement in the article. There are many similar examples in this article. The article is getting better, and I am sure it will not be deleted, but there is still much work to do with this article to make it fine. I am glad that you appreciate my advice and I am sure you will be excellent Wikipedia contributor when you get a little experience. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:28, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello again Thank you for your tips and advice. I will go back to the article and try to improve it some more. Thank you for your encouragement and support. I appreciate it. Asierramoore (talk) 01:08, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello Vanjagenie Please review the changes I made and see whether the notifications at the top of the page are still warranted or whether they can be removed. Please let me know what else I need to do. I also added some categories, but I think they don't exist. You can tell me what I need to do about that. I am still tryin to add a picture to the info box and I will try to add one in each section, where needed, in the contents. Thanks for your help. Asierramoore (talk) 18:46, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
- I see you improved the article's text considerably, there are still some irrelevant citations, but It's getting better. But, You made one big big mistake. You included photos in the article, but those photos are copyrighted material. This is one big no-no in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is intended to be "free encyclopedia", so any text or image on Wikipedia has to be free of copyrights. In most cases, there are two ways a photo can be free of copyrights: if the photographer died more than 70 years ago, or if the photographer explicitly agrees to release the photos under free licence (see here: Wikipedia:Image use policy). The authors of those photos obviously did not die more than 70 years ago, and there is no permission from the authors to use those photos under free license. And remember: Wikipedia is "free encyclopedia". Any material on Wikipedia must be free for anyone to use it anyway he wants. So, if the photographer gives you permission to "use the photo on Wikipedia", that is not enough. He has to give permission for anyone to use the photograph for any purpose. I really doubt you have such a permission. So, unfortunately, the photos will be deleted soon.
- Since you added lot of references, I removed two tags from the top of the article saying more references are needed, but the "orphan" tag should remain. The article is still an orphan, which means that no other article links to it. Read this manual: WP:DE-ORPHAN to find out how to de-orphan the article.Vanjagenije (talk) 08:31, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you Vanjagenie. I am glad that the article is improving. The photos were a nightmare. That took me a while to sort out and I ended up just picking the easiest choices of how to describe them, because I was getting confused to some extent. There is one where I have to correct the person listed as the owner, because I just found out that it was someone else. However, I have contacted most of the owners of the photos and asked if they can send in an email granting permission, as the caption under the said photos recommend. Hopefully, they do it in time. If not...well, it will just have to be deleted and I will have to work on it when I have more time. I also was not successful in getting the photos to go to the left of the page to have a kind of right-left placement. I will look at how to de-orphan the page and continue to improve the article however I can. I appreciate your help. Asierramoore (talk) 22:15, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- If the photos get deleted, don't panic. You can upload them again when you have permission. But, you should not upload photos to Wikipedia, but to Wikimedia Commons. That is another Wikimedia project dedicated to photos and other files. Commons is connected to Wikipedia, so any photo uploaded to Commons can be easily incorporated into Wikipedia article, the same way you did it. But, Commons have same rules like Wikipedia: you should not upload the photo without permission from the author. You can find out the best way to ask for permission here: Wikipedia:Requesting free content. If you get the permission from author, you should send it to the OTRS system (see here). It sounds little complicated, but it isn't really when you get used to it. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:25, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the reply. I'll keep trying. Secondly, the page is now linked to other pages. Can you tell me whether the page is still an Orphan? Thanks. Asierramoore (talk) 02:04, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi Vanjagenije I woke up and saw that my attempts at linking my page to others and also my first efforts at adding the "see also" sections to other pages, local and others, were all reverted. I had about 20 messages in my email. It was very nerve jolting and embarrassing. I understand, if I did not do it properly, but it was embarrassing just the same. I do not believe I will be trying to de-orphan or edit other articles in a hurry, despite the fact that Wikipedia says that "anyone can edit". Any explanations or advice would be much welcomed at this point. I do not want this to affect the article that added to Wikipedia. Additionally, although I have until the end of October for the copyright owners of the photos I used to email their permission to Wiki, I will remove the photos placement in the article in the meanwhile. I do not want my article deleted for whatever reason. I really put too much effort into it. So, again, any advice regarding de-orphaning or editing other article would be apreciated. Thank you for your kind understanding. Asierramoore (talk) 19:45, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- I don't really understand You. What exactly is a problem? If you are angry some editor deleted your "see also" section and external links, you shouldn't be. This editor probably thought that you added too many links to the "see also" section, and he is probably right. You should add just few links there, not list all the similar artists. The best way is to add links to few list articles, like List of reggae musicians, List of Eastern Caribbean people or something like that. That way your article will be connected with all the similar articles without adding too many "see also" links.
- I did't understand the part about e-mail massages. Who wrote you those messages? What is their content? Vanjagenije (talk) 20:37, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the clarification Vanjagenije. Yes, it was another editor who revereted the edits, each of which I was notified about via an email message. I understand what you said regarding what the editor did. Thanks for responding. Asierramoore (talk) 23:16, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
I noticed that wikipedia had extra stuff like Templates. Is it possible to write temples? I saw on wiki some interesting manuals. You are doing a great job continue like that.
For biography my sincere appologies I won't write my memories, I'll check in articles on how to write something trustworthy...
- Of course, you can write or edit templates similarly to writinf or editing articles. Learn more about templates here: Help:Template. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:39, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
- P.S. When you write something to a talk page, be sure to sign your comment (see here: wp:Signatures). When you write to somebody on a place other then his/her talk page, notify him with the Template:talkback. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:39, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Danny Ávila
Hi there,
I did a bit of editing, clean-up on the Danny Ávila article and saw that there was a page curation log stating that the article had been reviewed. Just out of curiosity, what does it mean to say that the article was reviewed?
Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 10:02, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hi! Reviewing new articles is part of a process called Wikipedia:New pages patrol (You should read this page to learn about it). Anyone can participate. There are some tools for easily doing New pages patrol, I am using wp:Page Curation tool. Feel free to ask me anything you'd like to know. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:08, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
- Cool, thanks! I have been editing articles for awhile using AWB browser - and I'm pretty thorough (grammar, encyclopedic content, copy-edit, persondata, project templates on talk page), so it might be a good thing to do. I'll check around for guidelines for what "reviewed" means to make sure I'm covering the bases.--CaroleHenson (talk) 10:12, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

- Hi! First of all, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not for making "sites" and "pages", Wikipedia for writting articles. I see that you have written an article titled "URLTV" which was speedily deleted. The reason the article was deleted is that it was overwhelmingly promotional in nature (see: wp:Spam). You should not panic! You can write the article again. The best way to do this is first to improve the article in your User namespace (here). You should make the article comply to the Wikipedia policies and than move it to the wp:article namespace when the article is ready. If you do not improve the article and post it again the same way you already did, it would be deleted again. But, if you improve the article before posting it, it would not be deleted. While improving the article, you should consider two important things: wp:Notability and wp:Reliable sources.
- Notability means that you should write the article in a way so that a reader understands why URLTV is important and why it should be in encyclopedia. But, you may not insert wp:weasel words or wp:peacock words.
- Reliable sources means that everything you write in the article has to be taken from reliable independent sources. You should not write your own opinions. You should just write what other, reliable independent sources, say about URLTV, and you should wp:cite sources.
- In the article you've written, you inserted some sources, but those are not reliable, nor independent sources. Internet forums, blogs, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter profiles are not reliable sources because anybody can write anything there. Official web site of URLTV may be reliable, but it is no way independent. Sources have to be independent of the subject. The article should present what others write about URLTV, not what they write about themselves.
- So, calm down, and be patient. You should read some instructions first (try this: Wikipedia:Your first article). When you read this, you'll see that it is really easy to write a good article. But, just be sure to follow the rules, at least the basic ones. If you have any problems or questions, feel free to ask me. Vanjagenije (talk) 08:52, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
- P.S. Be sure to sign everything you write on any userpage or talk page (see here: wp:Signatures). Vanjagenije (talk) 08:52, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
First Article
Thank you for your availability and support. I have recently posted an article and will need to spend some time learning how to create citations. My aim is to follow Wikipedia procedures and protocol. Is it possible to maintain this first article in a "saved/unpublished" mode until I fulfill all requirements for publication? Maura Sweeney Maura Sweeney (talk) 16:16, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
- Well, you already published the article. But, in the future, if you want to save an article without publishing it, you should use your wp:User sandbox (you can crate your sandbox here: User:Maura Sweeney/sandbox). You can use the sandbox for developing article. Anything you write in your sandbox will be saved, and when you are satisfied with the article, you can publish it in the wp:Article space.

Robert Axe
Hello Sir This is User:Robert Axe Please remove that deletion notice from my article. Because i added some suitable reference. So please review against that article Avatar 2 (2015 Film)
- Hello! The deletion tag should not be removed because the article is in the process of deletion discussion (wp:Articles for deletion). The problem is that Wikipedia policy (WP:NFF) says that we should not have article about a movie before we have reliable sources to prove that the principal photography has commenced. If you have added references to the article to prove that principal photography indeed started, than you should not worry. The article will not be deleted in that case, but we have to wait until the deletion discussion is over, and the deletion tag will be removed form the article. You should write on the deletion discussion page (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Avatar 2 (2015 Film)) and explain that you added the references. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:17, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
- P.s. And, be sure to sign every comment you write on the talk page (see here: WP:Signatures). Vanjagenije (talk) 17:18, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Haloferax volcanii
The information in the H. volcanii article was produced for Wikipedia and Microbe wiki simultaneously, by me. As such the second part about permission needing to be obtained from other sources applies, in this case I am granting permission, both explicitly in this writing and implicitly by posting the work on Wikipedia. Further this article was left alone for a good while in the wrong place (on the Haloferax genus rather than H. volcanii page) after being moved there by another user, I most recently have simply transferred back to the correct page (check the Haloferax page changelog for details). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karantalsis (talk • contribs) 11:37, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Undeletion request 2
Hi, Thank you for signaling me the fact that references are need.
I put a reference on the wikipedia page. Is it now OK? Can you message me back Kind Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by PascalPeeters99 (talk • contribs) 21:31, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hi! I see you added one source about Milka Malfait at the page, which is her official site. In Wikipedia, every article must be based on wp:reliable and wp:independent sources (see: Wikipedia:Verifiability). Wikipedia does not allow any kind of wp:original research, we only accumulate knowledge already written in other reliable and independent sources. Sources have to be cited in every article (see: wp:citing sources). So, the answer to your question is: No, it's not OK. Person's official web site is not an independent source. Wikipedia policy is that every article about living person (so called wp:Biography of living person) has to include references to reliable independent sources. Otherwise, the article still might be deleted. I advise you to find some reliable sources like (read this: wp:reliable sources) and include them in the article. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:35, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- P.S. When you write to a talk page, like you did it here, always write at the bottom! Otherwise your comment might be overseen. And always sign your post, so that others may know easily who wrote it (see here how to sign: wp:Signatures). Vanjagenije (talk) 23:37, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, now I put some independent references. Is it better now? Im new on WP and I hope my work will not be deleted. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by PascalPeeters99 (talk • contribs) 23:50, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- It's much better now, you are learning fast :-) The article will probably not get deleted, as my experience tells me. But, it still needs improvements. The citations you added are in the style of bare URLs, which is bad. You should properly format the citations (see here: wp:bare URLs). Article also needs categorization (see here how to add an article to categories: wp:FAQ/Categorization). Otherwise, you are doing good job. Just keep on working and get yourself familiar with basic Wikipedia:Principles. Feel free to ask me anything you want to know. You can also visit wp:Tea House if you need assistance. And, please, do sign your posts (see: wp:Signatures). Vanjagenije (talk) 00:01, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
