Yeah I agree not really constructive. Im from the area. Fact is no one lives on the islands. They are tiny little sandy islands where people pull up boats and party. So while what I said is indeed true, I guess there are more eloquent ways to describe what goes on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.117.84.163 (talk) 22:44, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Peter Azur[edit]

Thank you for your well-reasoned and helpful response. I think we both realize that Azur's contribution to cinematic history ranks somewhat short of stellar. I tend to agree with you on all points you raised, particularly the notability requirement. We'll simply abandon this mini-project unless you can locate an interested third-party.

Human Right Self Defense[edit]

Why Did you delete my analysis on the Uniquely American Human Right Self Defense what's protected by the 2nd Amendment ? 1) are you an American ?

@Ai6pg: The content you added to Second Amendment to the United States Constitution was unreferenced original research that was not written in the formal style that Wikipedia requires. I suggest reading WP:NPOV. /wia /talk 21:58, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

That's a lot to read. Could you be more specific ?

@Ai6og: Well, contributing to Wikipedia usually entails a lot of reading, and sooner or later it's advisable to read all of Wikipedia's policies to get a good handle on them. But two parts of that page that are important are WP:IMPARTIAL and WP:SUBJECTIVE. I would also add WP:OR and WP:SYNTH to the list. They're not long sections and I think they'd be helpful to read. /wia /talk 00:26, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Wikiisawesome - --- I'm not being disruptive. It's a uniquely American Human Right to be able to defend Self. You have a Self so stand tall and defend Self. We all do have this tight to be able to defend self from rape/murder which are violations of self. Get the point please. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ai6pg (talk • contribs) 04:52, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

@Ai6pg: Actually, the right to self defence is not a uniquely American one, as it exists in the Canadian (and presumably the British) common law. Furthermore, you are not citing any legitimate sources for these bald assertions, and so it comes off as original research. I understand what you're trying to do here on Wikipedia, but if you continue shoving that content into articles without regard for consensus or WP:NPOV, your attempts will consistently be reverted and you may end up being blocked. You need reputable sources and consensus if you want your edits to stick. /wia /talk 10:03, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Reputable is based on Natural Law. You have Self given by God and, he does want you defend it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ai6pg (talk • contribs) 18:56, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

@Ai6pg: Unfortunately, merely saying that something is natural law does not make it so, nor does it necessarily make it suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia. Right now, your interpretation of the Second Amendment is just that—an original interpretation, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. It might work on a blog or a personal website, but not here. You will need to find and add reliable, independent (third-party) sources that have explicitly argued that the Second Amendment is as you say it is. "Natural law" itself is not a reliable source. Indeed, it is not a source at all. Next, you will need to suggest your changes on the appropriate talk page in an effort to forge consensus. If consensus is against you, then the content cannot be added to Wikipedia. /wia /talk 19:53, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Well I faxed my interpretation and vision to Congress and, I hope they will work to fix it. It's in the Bill of Rights. Now if you are an American, I hope you will see what I'm trying to do and raise the bar a bit, and it would be good for the economy too. As you know Rape and Murder are evil, and as an American, we do have a right to defend Self from it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ai6pg (talk • contribs) 23:34, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Wia for your help with my first submission (Emil Milan). It is accepted now. I deleted/rewrote everything I thought could be seen as promotional or original research. But it is still tagged as sometimes a problem in those respects. Can you take another look at it? Any guidance from you would be appreciated. Thanks, Craig. Craiger19 (talk) 11:09, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

@Craiger19: The article looks pretty good to me, although a few more references in the "Use of Wood and other materials" and "Tools and Techniques" sections would help show that the content of those sections is not original research. Once you feel that you have cleaned up those sections according to Wikipedia's standards, you're welcome to be bold and remove the cleanup tag yourself! Ah, Primefac has suggested that another user remove the tag themselves. Okay, how about this: if you can find some more references, add them and then let me know here on my talk page and I'll re-review that section. /wia /talk 13:06, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Dear Wia, Thank you very much for your prompt reply and constructive advice. I am including an audio file, which is a weekly radio program. This program was broadcast by the second Kuwaiti official radio station about 2 months ago, the program is well known as well as the presenter by all Kuwaitis. We received a copy from the station itself that I uploaded to dropbox. Here is the link:

13:01:58, 23 May 2015 review of submission by 110.148.117.189[edit]


To Whom it may concern, I am requesting a re-review as I have written this as neutral as I believe necessary. As a female architect, there is a general lack of female representation in the field prominently male. It is not my intention for the entry to read as an advertisement for Dr Maturana, I believe this may be due to many of her opinions as most of her work expresses these opinions. The book publication can also be deleted if this will help with the entry, this was a major publication for her and it seemed relevant to include but if it is against the wikipedia guidelines then I can remove it with no issue. I am happy to edit out the sections which you feel the entry is not subjective enough or rewrite sections altogether provided you feedback. I would not like to see an architect with such global influences and a history of social justice not be more freely known to all wikipedia users. I do hoipe you reconsider or provide some feedback for a more balanced entry that you would deem appropriate for wikipedia. Thank you Chris Buchhorn 110.148.117.189 (talk) 13:01, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

You're welcome to resubmit any time you'd like and someone else will take a look at the article in the next few weeks. In the interim, however, I'd suggest taking a look at the comments I've left on the draft itself. In particular, there is some non-neutral content and some synthesis that should be dealt with. /wia /talk 13:13, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

I am the author of the copyrighted Hemodynamic Management Chart at hemodynamicsociety.org (I am the Society's Chairman). I have removed the "copyright" logo form the Chart at Wikipedia article and uploaded it under Commons, so I hope the article is now acceptable for publication. Thanks, Bo Bbosramek (talk) 01:09, 24 May 2015 (UTC) Bbosramek (talk) 01:09, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

@Bbosramek: It's not just the table at http://www.hemodynamicsociety.org/syshemo.html that's at issue; there's also some text that's been copied. Since the content on that website is copyrighted, you can't use it on Wikipedia just yet—even if you are the copyright-holder. What you need to do is follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Specifically, WP:DONATETEXT is the section of that article that will probably be the most help to you. I hope this has cleared things up, and thanks for your contributions! /wia /talk 01:18, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

I have just remove the copyright from the corresponding web site at the hemodynamicsociety.org. Will that, together with removing the copyright symbol from Fig.10, resolve the copyright issue? Please let me know. Bbosramek (talk) 01:45, 24 May 2015 (UTC) Bbosramek (talk) 01:45, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

@Bbosramek: I am not completely sure. I think that because of WP:COMPLIC, the mere absence of the copyright logo is insufficient to remove your copyright over the text. (In essence, I think your copyright subsists regardless of whether you claim it.) However, I am no expert in American copyright law, and so I suggest you ask at WP:CQ. Someone there should know whether merely removing the copyright symbol is sufficient. Sorry I don't have the answer for you, but copyright is a tricky legal issue and I want to make sure you get the right answer. Thanks! /wia /talk 01:52, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Abdulaziz Al-Bashir review - Added ref.[edit]

Dear Wia,
Thank you once again for your guidance. I added some new references and included the audio. As for the sentence "He constantly encouraged employees to enrol in training courses and higher studies, which was also a helpful element in keeping up with latest developments in the field" and The "Favorite pastime" section, they are clearly mentioned in the radio program and the booklet. But, if you think it is better that I discard them, I will.
Also Wia, I am preparing the Arabic and French versions; what is the procedure? Thank you and enjoy what is left of the weekend. Radbleu (talk) 11:50, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

@Radbleu: If those claims are explicitly cited in the radio program and booklet, then you can keep them in, as long as they are written in a way that complies with WP:NPOV and as long as you put an inline citation after the claims.
As for writing the article in Arabic and French, the requirements differ on the different-language Wikipedias. You can create an account on the French Wikipedia and try posting your article there; I think they have different notability and referencing requirements, but I'm not totally sure, so I'd suggest asking around on the French Wikipedia itself. Same goes for the Arabic Wikipedia. /wia /talk 16:23, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello! I only have one source at the moment, written in Albanian. How many sources are required for this to be approved?

Albanianhistory (talk) 14:45, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

@Albanianhistory: It often depends on the situation, but a good rule of thumb is at WP:BIO: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." You'll need to find significant coverage in multiple sources. So there's not a bright-line rule for the number of references you'll need. I'd try to find at least another one, maybe another two. Check old newspapers on Google, at your local library, on databases like Jstor and the like (if you have access). You never know what'll turn up! /wia /talk 16:21, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

@Stigmatella aurantiaca: It's not merely the number that indicates copyvio problems, but rather the similarities between the texts. The number the copyvio detector returns is sometimes helpful but it doesn't necessarily mean there's a copyright issue. If you compare the text of the two links here, you'll find that the majority of the putatively copied text is actually a series of names and proper nouns, which is not a copyright violation. So you don't have anything to worry about from a copyright perspective! /wia /talk 22:02, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

New Article Submission on Regression Therapy[edit]

I understand you have rejected a new article on "Regression Therapy" and have suggested that it is included in an existing article on "Past Life Regression". I would like you to reconsider this decision the following reasons;

Regression Therapy is a separate discipline of therapy drawing on many healing modularities; age regression, inner child regression, body therapy, transpersonal experiences, and If stories emerge from a client that appear to be past lives they are dealt with as healing metaphors. Thats was clearly stated in the article. This is completely different from past life regression which is about allowing people having just "past life experiences" which they may think are real.

Past Life Regression is a controversial subject open to different religious and cultural views and the article is subject to may changes and disputes. Not an area I wish to enter.

Regression therapy is practiced by medical doctors and therapists working to a clearly defined international standard. It has thousands of therapists across the world doing this work. As such it deserves respect from Wikipedia to have an article covering this work.

The article on Regression Therapy has been written to provide notability and verification to meet Wikipedia standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andy Tomlinson (talk • contribs) 09:48, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

@Andy Tomlinson: I'm sorry, but these two subjects still seem very similar to me. One is "a technique that uses hypnosis to recover what practitioners believe are memories of past lives or incarnations", while the other "uses a range of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy techniques but differs by putting more focus on regression and working with transpersonal experiences to transform them". I don't see any substantial difference in definition here, your post notwithstanding. The only difference seems to be the willingness of practitioners to treat memories as a metaphor. You're welcome to seek a second opinion at the Help Desk, of course. Just post your question there according to the guidelines and someone should be along to answer within a few hours. /wia /talk 10:20, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
@Wikiisawesome: If this logic is followed Regression Therapy could equally be added to articles on inner child regression, body memories, hypnosis or age regression. I'm sorry I disagree and would like the opinions from other editors. I'm new to writing Wikipedia articles and have put in a great mount of effort to meet all the requirements for a new page. Help please. /talk 27 May 2015 (UTC)
@Andy Tomlinson: That's okay; disagreements are bound to happen from time to time on Wikipedia. The best course of action is to seek the opinion of other editors. Consensus is a great way to solve problems! Go on over to the Help Desk and post your question there (something along the lines of "my draft was declined for reason x; I think it deserves a re-review for reasons y and z."). Someone should be along with a fresh set of eyes not too long after you post! /wia /talk 11:21, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
@Andy Tomlinson: I'll note also that you appear to have cited your own publications in the draft article, which means you may have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia, and it is highly advisable to read WP:COI before proceeding with any edition in the subject. /wia /talk 10:24, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
@Wikiisawesome: My name was not mentioned in the article and I was not aware of a conflict of interest. In any event of the 64 references my books were mentioned 4 times. If this is an issue I'll pass my work on the article to an independent editor and they can include or reject my book references and resubmit the article /talk 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Request on 13:14:52, 27 May 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Paid2Tweet[edit]


My submission was rejected because "the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Marsh & McLennan Companies instead." Marsh and Marsh & McLennan companies are separate entities. Marsh and McLennan companies is the parent company of Marsh LLC. We share history but they are separate and distinct entities.

Could you please let me know what I need to do get the Marsh page published?


Paid2Tweet (talk) 13:14, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

@Paid2Tweet: I will be busy for the next 5–6 hours but will give you a detailed answer later today! Thanks, /wia /talk 14:14, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
@Paid2Tweet: One of the main problems with the article is the referencing. Of all the references, only one (the Reuters article) talks about Marsh itself in significant detail. None of the others even seem to mention Marsh; instead, they all talk about Marsh & McLennan. In fact, the Bloomberg article seems to use the two names interchangeably. So while the companies may be different entities, the current referencing is a problem. You can remedy this by finding reliable, independent (third-party) sources that discuss Marsh (not just Marsh & McLennan) in significant detail. Alternatively, you could roll some of the content about Marsh into the existing Marsh & McLennan Companies article, perhaps by adding a new "History" section.
I hope this answer makes sense. Let me know if you'd like further guidance or have any other questions! /wia /talk 20:26, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi - I am trying to add a new Wikipedia page for Jennifer Yen, and it was rejected due to insufficient sources. Jennifer played Vypra in the Power Rangers. I was looking at the Power Rangers page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Rangers_Lightspeed_Rescue, and then at another one of the villian's wikipedia page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Salinger -- it looks like the page for Diane Salinger has fewer references than the Jennifer Yen submission. Also, her only references are IMDB and her personal website. How did this page get approved, but the one for Jennifer was not? Is there something I should do differently?

Thanks!

Khumpinla (talk) 04:28, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

@Khumpinla: Hi! Since Wikipedia is a volunteer project, some bad articles tend to slip through the cracks and end up on Wikipedia from time to time. If we were to judge all new content by comparison to existing articles, it could lower the quality of new Wikipedia content. As such, the "what about this other article?" argument doesn't hold much water on Wikipedia. If you're looking for a good article to compare with, you can search through the Featured Articles for inspiration, like James T. Aubrey, for example. I'll take a look at that article you mentioned.
