As the sources we have used are from reputed national newspapers like The Hindu, The Economic Times etc. it does meet the notability criterion. Kindly explain your position on why you have declined the submission. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newsomething (talk • contribs) 05:52, 2016 January 22
- @Newsomething: Hello! Sorry for the delay in responding. It looks like you have improved your sources significantly since I declined it. However, the article still reads a bit too much like an advertisement, rather than an encyclopedia article. You also need to change your section headers back to Wikipedia's usual section header format. If you need more assistance, you can either or join our live chat.

Draft:Germany's teacher of the year award (Deutscher Lehrerpreis)
Dear Nathan, thanks for having taken a look at the article. I re-edited the article and made it more objective and encyclopedic by for example taking out words like "best" and by stating just objective facts about the competition. I also added more sources and now it includes for example articles by the large German newspaper FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), an article from the official website from German chancellor Angela Merkel, links to the Vodafone foundation and the German philological association. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.74.250.237 (talk) 12:01, 2016 January 26
- Hello! Sorry for the delay in responding, I have been busy for the past few days. It looks like you have improved your sources significantly since I declined it. However, the article still reads more like an essay rather than an encyclopedia article. You can find information about how to write in a more encyclopedic style here.

I added the context of the rest of the field and the backround so that the Dense Image Matching Problem of Beg which is connected to Computational Anatomy is discussed. When I first submitted it for review I did not have the context or the references. Thank-you for consideration. Best Michael I. M. Mim.cis (talk) 16:25, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

DRN help needed and volunteer roll call
You are receiving this message because you have listed yourself on the list of volunteers at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteering#List of the DRN volunteers.
First, assistance is needed at DRN. We have recently closed a number of cases without any services being provided for lack of a volunteer willing to take the case. There are at least three cases awaiting a volunteer at this moment. Please consider taking one.
Second, this is a volunteer roll call. If you remain interested in helping at DRN and are willing to actively do so by taking at least one case (and seeing it through) or helping with administrative matters at least once per calendar month, please add your name to this roll call list. Individuals currently on the principal volunteer list who do not add their name on the roll call list will be removed from the principal volunteer list after June 30, 2016 unless the DRN Coordinator chooses to retain their name for the best interest of DRN or the encyclopedia. Individuals whose names are removed after June 30, 2016, should feel free to re-add their names to the principal volunteer list, but are respectfully requested not to do so unless they are willing to take part at DRN at least one time per month as noted above. No one is going to be monitoring to see if you live up to that commitment, but we respectfully ask that you either live up to it or remove your name from the principal volunteer list.
