Please review my article Max Dashu. Thanks.
- Unfortunately, this article seems a bit lacking in reliable third party sources. In fact, most of the sources link back to Dashu's own website. Also, it seems a little promotional. I mean, is there really any reason for stating that the movie she made is "available on DVD"? Bobnorwal (talk) 05:00, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

- This stands no chance if moved to mainspace because there are no sources listed, and unless this character has received significant coverage, it is not suited as an article. ArcAngel (talk) ) 22:48, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

- Sorry, but I concur with ArcAngel, this article doesn't seem appropriate for multiple reasons.--SPhilbrickT 18:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

This is the first article I have created. Right now, I want to know what I should do to improve the article. Any advice and comments would also be helpful. Thanks!

- It isn't clear that Murder of Mirabelle Thao-Lo has a place in Wikipedia. Sad though the story may be, an encyclopedia doesn't undertake to cover every death nor even every alleged murder, not even when there is press coverage. What is especially Notable about this incident?--SPhilbrickT 13:42, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Flexible Optical BV
editThis page is about a business providing adaptive optics for science industry and medicine. The page contains a link to a substantial list of publications based on our products. We would like to see the page in the category of optical manufacturing companies.

This is my first article on Wikipedia. It's about an historic printing company in Northumberland. I would be grateful for constructive feedback about how I can make the article any more informative and publishable. Many thanks!
Laurie Cansfield (talk) 16:26, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry but I see some significant issues:
- The entire middle section, listing equipment at the location, is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article.
- The history section is interesting, but entirely unsourced.
- Accreditation and membership might be appropriate in a directory, but are not usually appropriate for n encyclopedia articles, unless there is something particularly notable about he membership.
- Notability requires " significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject,…" While I see some references, most are not even publications, and the one that is appears to be a trade press mention.
- With well over a century of operations, there may be additional citations in independent sources, but without such evidence, I don't think this is quite ready.--SPhilbrickT 18:20, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
This is the first article I have written for Wikipedia so would appreciate any comments. I have moved it into mainspace but do not regard it as finished. It needs rounding out and the addition of one or more photographs. The article is focussed on those aspects of the subject's work where independent online references can most readily be sourced.

- I have added an infobox, please fill in if possible. There are also still neutrality issues with the article raised by another user in the talk page (namely, it seems to be too 'positive'). Please see the guidelines at WP:NPOV and fix them if you can. Thanks.-- Obsidi♠nSoul 16:38, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I understand the POV issue and will have a go at neutralising it. Finiwiki (talk) 13:34, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Corwil (talk) 17:57, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
- My quick reaction is that is reads like a company generated PR piece. I see no examples of independent sourcing – while some references exist, they are company owned or trade press. I see zero support for Notability. Sorry, I know it isn't what you want to hear, maybe someone else has a more positive reaction.--SPhilbrickT 18:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
I have written this article and tried to reference it from the relevant obituaries which provided the content, facts and inspiration of the piece. Please can someone check it is sufficiently referenced, I am obviously conscious not to breach any copyright laws. Any help and feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you.
- I have converted several duplicated references to named references for better formatting. ArcAngel (talk) ) 23:17, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks very much-that looks a lot better. help much appreciated.
Dynaventure
editGood Afternoon Editors,
I tried using your tool http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webreflinks.py?page=DynaVenture&citeweb=checked to check the url's used in my article on DynaVenture.
It said: Applying English Wikipedia fixes No changes necessary: references template found. No changes were necessary in DynaVenture
If there is any specific feedback or changes I need to make please let me know. I referenced according to APA style guidelines. Link rot is a new term to me though so advice is welcomed to prevent it.
Advance thanks for your help.

- Hello, it's best if you fill in the citations manually. You can either write it manually using a particular style, or you can use citation templates. For the former please refer to this help page: Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners; for the latter please refer to this other help page (it helps if you read the previous help page as well though): Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners with citation templates. Cheers.-- Obsidi♠nSoul 16:13, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, and looking at it now, you're getting the message because it looks like it's already filled in. I have removed the barelinks tag.-- Obsidi♠nSoul 16:18, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
- A description of link rot can be found here as well: Wikipedia:Link rot. To put it simply, bare links are more vulnerable to link rot because when the webpages eventually fail (i.e. return a Page Not Found error), it is often very difficult to find a replacement reference for it if all you have is a url. By properly citing the source, the date, the author, title, and whatnot, the links become more valuable even if they do succumb to link rot. Knowing more information of the source than just its url, you will be able to find the particular page, newspaper article, book, etc. in other sources. And even if you can't, you can still keep the reference information.-- Obsidi♠nSoul 16:25, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

- Hey, you might need more references, so the article won't be tagged/deleted.Lapatronne (talk) 21:51, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- Might I ask why, specifically? Everything I didn't cite comes from personal experience in using the service. Are some references in the wrong place, maybe? Thanks for reviewing. Tberbert (talk) 22:02, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- "Personal experience" doesn't cut it when it comes to assertions. Is there significant third-party coverage elsewhere? If so, it needs to be added to help better establish the notability of this product. ArcAngel (talk) ) 02:14, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

- I see you have plenty of potential references. but none are formed correctly. Check out Referencing for beginners.
- You asked a specific question about pictures. I haven't worked with Picture tutorial, but it sounds like it may be on target. I'd like to hear form you whether you agree or disagree. --SPhilbrickT 18:36, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
