19:17:40, 4 October 2014 review of submission by Bifrost314


Bifrost314 (talk) 19:17, 4 October 2014 (UTC) Hello, A bit mystified as to why the article was declined - am using the same secondary sources as other published articles in this category (electronic musicians), such as Resident Advisor, Fact, XLR8R, etc. I'm well versed in the field of electronic music, so was careful to use the best sources. Also says the article was edited and resubmitted? By whom? Does this mean the article goes to the back of the queue? Original article was submitted Aug 11, so the first review was almost a 2 mth wait...hoping to get this sorted. Appreciate your clarification on this. Thanks!

Hello, and good to hear from you. The reason I declined your submission was not only because it was lacking some trusted sources, but due to the layout. Just compare yours with some other article (say, biography) and spot the differences. Once you have done it, ping me and nothing would stop you from getting it accepted. Thank you.. The herald 08:11, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello again, Could you be specify re "lacking some trusted sources" - I used Resident Advisor, Fact, XLR8R, Exclaim, which are trusted secondary sources in the electronic music community and appear in the bio references of other electronic musicians. Also, the draft says it has been resubmitted and in line for review...who would have resubmitted? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bifrost314 (talkcontribs) 23:07, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Your review of Draft:CapitalVia

Hi, you have recently reviewed Draft:CapitalVia and declined it, due to lack of notability. However, I do think that this article meets the notability criteria, as it has received attention from multiple third party sources. You've also commented "No needed improvement from last submission", which leads me to believe that you've declined the article unintentionally. Please ping me or leave a talkback notice on my talk page when you respond to this. Thanks! Darylgolden(talk) 07:05, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

@Darylgolden: & @Deepshikha Sen:, Though the article is almost fine to have it go, I think that by adding some more cites from some websites which could be trusted more will make it go. Almost all the cites are from newspapers which are fine indeed. But some cites from the official website can provide a strong ground if the article is nominated for deletion in near or far future. Deepshikha had much work on it but once these changes are done, nothing could stop it from accepting, which I may do myself. S/he can ping me. Thank you. The herald 07:10, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Request on 13:42:13, 7 October 2014 for assistance on AfC submission by Mmmitler


RE: Submission of biographical article "Merrill M. Mitler" Mmmitler (talk) 13:42, 7 October 2014 (UTC) Thank you for your review. In today's resubmission, I have tried to provide a greater number of verifiable sources that comprise newspaper and journal articles written by professional reporters and editors. I was able to find a number of these using JSTOR and WebCrawler, searching for "mitler" plus a wild card character. I am unsure what else may be needed. Please advise.

Regards, M. Mitler

I appreciate your advice and encouragement. I have reformatted the submission and have it in a Word file complete with hyperlinks to all references. Now I am unsure whether or not I should delete the existing submission and paste the revision in its place. Please advise. In the meantime, since the article is brief I have pasted the text below:

Merrill M. Mitler Merrill M. Mitler, Ph.D., an American psychologist and sleep researcher, was professor at the University of California, San Diego (ret), The Scripps Research Institute (ret) and State University of New York, Stony Brook (ret).

From 2002 to 2013, he was Program Director for extramural research on homeostatic mechanisms at The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, within The National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nirmala (novel), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Marathi. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello again, Wonder if you had a chance to see my previous msg, re notable sources. Have used many of the same sources (e.g., Resident Advisor, FACT, XLR8R, Exclaim!) as other pages for artist biographies in Electronic Music. Quite a long list of Notes for source material, as well as References for same and additional details. Your reply would be most appreciated, as I'd like to resubmit (appeared to have been resubmitted before? now a resubmit button is on the draft page) and get the article published.
