Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Zack Norman
- Why bother even trying to conform to your guidelines or incorporate your suggestions when the next time I submit the article a different Misplaced Pages editor will just overrule everything you say and make me start all over again? These are the rejection notes you just sent me today:
| Extended content |
|---|
NYTimes Movies links suffer the same problem that IMDB suffers, "They may say the name, but there's little to no context as to the relevance of the credit". Please consider using a singular reference to the NY Times Movies for just the subject rather than giving the appearance of dazzling us with a great list of referencs (or better yet, use a named reference where you want to indicate a movie credit) to show the true distribution of references. Declined by Hasteur 7 seconds ago. Last edited by Hasteur 6 seconds ago. Reviewer: Inform author. Resubmit Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be rejected again. |
- Now, I don't mean to be disrespectful or defensive, but these notes are a direct contradiction to notes I received (and addressed) by your fellow editors as well as the Misplaced Pages Teahouse, who assured me that the NY Times references were completely acceptable. I just feel like I keep going round and round, and I just don't understand how I can ever hope to have an article accepted when the Misplaced Pages editors don't respect or even acknowledge each others' opinions. What am I supposed to do, honestly?Matzohboy (talk) 20:34, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- You don't mean to be disrespectful, but you obviously missed reading it, so I'll try again...
- The NYTimes Movie links are of a similar content as IMDB, they are an indiscriminate listing of effectively promotional material released by the studios. From the 5 links I went in, I saw a bulk listing of the cast of characters. Much the same way that IMDB has a bulk list of characters. This, in my mind is indicative that while they may be a background or character actor, they haven't garnered the level of notability necessary to have a listing on wikipedia.
- Consider using something like this or one of the linked pages to show that the actor has been in several notable films/TV series. Using a named reference to just that biography or filmography will allow us to see the derth of roles he's played while at the same time minimizing the count of unique references at the end of the article (and therefore not causing a WP:CITEKILL problem). The ball is back in your court, but I'm just trying to give you a realistic assessment of what can happen as soon as your submission gets promoted to article space.

Saint Francis Veterinary Center
Hi Hasteur, THANKS!! for your recommendations, we're working on your requested edits. One thing to note on the HealthyPet references, HealthyPet is the public communications arm of the American Animal Hospital Association, which accredits elite animal hospitals - AAHA is in fact the ONLY accrediting body for animal hospitals. We therefore must cite to AAHA to factually back up the information we are communicating. AAHA accredits individual departments as "Referral" a designation that is extremely rare in veterinary medicine. Therefore, in order to factually cite to each department that's accredited, we have to individually cite to HealthyPet (AAHA) in those distinct departments. I hope this makes sense, but HealthyPet/AAHA is a very strong and important reference to back up our factual statements. NOTE: fewer than 1% of the approximately 27,000 animal hospitals in North America have achieved our level of accreditation, which makes it a rare distinction worth communicating.
Thanks, MM2
ADDITIONAL: (hope this is the appropriate place for this, new to wikipedia). Definitely trying to make this a purely factual article based on objective sources for public consumption without conflicts of interest. And reaching for strong sources to that end. Is the article as written close? As a user of wikipedia, I'm glad this standard exists. Looking here to develop an ironclad, factual article that meets those standards for sure. I'll give it another pass, but any guidance would be absoultely welcome. I absolutely share your thoughts and trust that I can get the article over and above those standards in the end... THANKS!!!!
- No problem, you just had the distinct mis-fortune of drawing me as a reviewer. I tend to be a lot more strict than others when treviewing for the exact same reason. Hasteur (talk) 19:56, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Hasteur, are you still mentoring this editor? I'm struck by the tone and the content of their questions at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Kelapstick 2; it seems to have very little to do with Kelapstick and more with their past experience with admins. Drmies (talk) 14:44, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Titi Ex
Hello Hasteur,
Thank you for reviewing the wikipedia page I made for Titia Ex http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Titia_Ex_%282nd_copy%29
You declined the submission, while providing as reason that I used youtube links. I replaced all four youtube links, while also inserted sources at the "citation needed" locations where I was able to find the specific information via the internet.
Since the wiki page was declined three times (while I expected an approval this time around), should I submit it again (and get a fourth reviewer to look at it...) or will you review the page and accept it for wiki placement or explain on this talk page why it still isn't right?

Food Photographer of the Year
Hello Hasteur, I'll try not to tip you into retirement with my semi-Noob questions!
First, thanks for giving up your time to review my entry. I've re-submitted it, but I'm contacting you here just so you know that I haven't overlooked one of the two directions you gave me. Those directions were:
1) That the entry just list the recent overall winner and not the "lesser" winners in the sub-categories. That's been done, thanks for the tip. 2) That the award be disambiguated from other Food Photographer of the Year Awards, since you felt there were others. I've had a good, honest look but I really couldn't find any. It would have been in my interest to find one as then I could just disambig it from mine - but I found nothing. I'm kinda stuck unless you can find the other award you mention - else I'm being tasked with disproving a negative. I thought maybe we could disambig it by calling it by the sponsors names, but that would look tacky - plus the sponsors change all the time. Can I ask you to reconsider on this point and let the title stand?
Best, Arnie
Lanci bio
I will certainly find more citations, but to suggest that Ken Lanci "appears to be a non-notable person" is inaccurate.
Lanci is running for mayor of Cleveland vs. the incumbent. He is the only candidate to have qualified for the race. As well, Lanci has previously ran for office. All of this is cited in the article I created.
Additionally, Lanci is a well-known Cleveland-area businessman and philanthropist.
I will add citations in the next 24 hours.
In the meantime, please reconsider "non-notable person" status. This may be of interest to you: https://www.google.com/search?q=ken+lanci&oq=ken+lanci&aqs=chrome.0.57j59l2j60l2j62.1231j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Mineski Bio
Greetings sir,
I just want to ask about the comment you've left on my contribution : http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Mineski
About the imgur problem, how can i make a hard copy of a magazine a reference for my article?
?????
Hello, I am very surprised. Why is too difficult to add an articles' translation in Misplaced Pages English ? Why the wikipedia's admins have no respect about works from volunteers ? I am disgusted to have provided much work for nothing. I do not understand what is happening! This is a personality that has many awards in his profession. Why such contempt? http://fr.wikipedia.org/Farid_Dms_Debah (French Misplaced Pages) http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Farid_Dms_Debah (My translation)
You are there to help volunteers or just to denigrate their work?
DRN needs your help!
Hi there. I've noticed it's been a while since you've been active at DRN, and we could really use your help! DRN is going to undergo some changes soon, so it'd really be great if our backlog is cleared before the start of August and we have as many people on board to help with the changes (they include a move to subpages and the creation of a rotating "co-ordinator" role to help manage things day-to-day. Hope to see you soon! Steven Zhang 11:32, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Problems with your Pro Forma submissions
Hey! It appears that when you have been submitting articles as "Pro forma submissions", you have been adding the template in such a way as to break the AFCH script. The way to fix it is to add two extra pipes (three total) in front of the "ts = " parameter. Cheers! Tazerdadog (talk) 22:56, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
A beer for you!

Awarded for your comment here. I've seen so much vitriol lately between editors on Misplaced Pages's pages that when I saw your courteous/kind/affirming post it stood out to me. Cheers! Shearonink (talk) 17:08, 31 July 2013 (UTC) |
Battle of Kursk at DRN
Hey, Hasteur, if you're done there could you close it (or drop me a note and I'll do it)? It's way beyond its normal life span had it been listed prior to the subpage experiment and would have been autoarchived already. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:59, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
