Hi Chiswick. Thanks so much for editing my Fur Eel article. That was my first attempt at a Wikipedia article so I appreciate your help. I have changed all the bare links to include full references. Could you check that I have done this correctly? Can you also let me know how I have the bare links warning removed at the top of the article?

I understand each Wikipedia is different, in Spanish I did an extensive text about the magazine, but they encouraged me to cut it to the current appearance. But I will fix it to fit into Wikipedia English standards but I have a question: how much time do I have for it? I would need few days to do it and to resubmit for a next review. Additionally I have already seen that something went wrong with the citations, I was quite sure they were fine when I clicked save. Thank you for your support. -- Dan Prior ( talk) 23:16, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
I recently resubmitted the article of Fahrenheitº, although it was accepted I was also encouraged to improve the article for its final acceptance, unfortunately I did not understand where is the mistake to fix, of course I know the article has potential to be improved, but in this particular case I cannot identify what I have to change in the article to receive the acceptance and final publication. About the image I'm just only waiting for the permissions of Wikimedia (but also in its Spanish and French versions). As soon as you tell me how I have to change I will definitely do it. Thank you in advance for your support. --

Thank you for editing the article on Conqueror. Although I can still not claim to have written an article for Wikipedia (Blast, blast, blast!), at least a gap I feel was there has been filled (i.e. an article on what I believe is one of the finest paper manufacturers). I guess I'm not cut out for this job, for in all my Googling on "Conqueror", "C. Paper", "C. Distribution", &c., I have not come across any of the sources you have found. I guess it ends, then.

Hello Chiswick Chap,
I was surprised that another editor was assigned to my easyswap article : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Easyswap. I tried to improve it in accordance with your suggestions. But now it has been rejected because the references are in French... Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks! -- Shardy22 ( talk) 10:07, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello Shardy22, I've accepted the article. There is no reason at all why references should not be in French, indeed they can be in Ukrainian, Urdu and Uruguayan Spanish as long as they are correct and can be translated when needed. AfC does not assign people to reviews, people just pick whatever they like, but generally I track articles I reviewed earlier. If you translated the article from French I think there's a tag or template somewhere you can use to say so on the Talk page.

Hi CC! I just wanted to know if you could help me out with something. I've been discussing an AfD topic ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reuben Glaser) with the person who created the article and why I voted for it to be deleted. My point was that Glaser isn't notable enough to pass WP:BIO and that the one event that did get media coverage didn't have enough lasting notability to pass WP:EVENT and that even if it did, Glaser isn't notable enough outside of it to warrant an article. I have a feeling that the contributor (as well as the other voter) is either Glaser himself or a friend, so there's a bit of a COI going on here, and I'll admit that I'm starting to get frustrated and am beginning to bite the newbie. I'm not asking you to vote or anything, just help explain where I'm coming from with this. (I don't want this to be seen as canvassing- I just know that you're a lot more patient than I am when it comes to stuff like this and I definitely trust your opinion, which is why you're the first person I thought of as far as mediators go.) So far it's just been a constant and overly long back and forth between the two of us and I would really like it if some other editors were to step in and give their input. Even if you decide that he or the event passes notability guidelines, I just want to get another voice in there to kind of help smooth things out a little. I'm afraid that my most recent post sounds a little overly angry, which isn't what I meant it to sound like. There haven't been any revision wars to the article (I removed a LOT of sources that weren't usable for one reason or another), but there's been little snipes from each side.

Hi, I've just reverted your edit at Christianity in India.

This is my first attempt at writing such an article for which another "wiki" contributor has asked me to write. Suggest sending it to someone who can reword it in the form you require because I would not know what style of wording you require. If it is declined then I will not send in the further articles that I had planned.[[ Steamybrian2 ( talk) 14:09, 28 January 2012 (UTC)]]
First off: you say "the obvious alternative is Adv", but what do you mean by "Adv"? Part of the reason that I declined the speedies is that you'd already declined to create many of them, and the rest I was confident would get the same response. I don't believe that advertising in Wikipedia talkspace is likely to get a ton of results, and since {{ AFC submission}} includes a noindex command, I can't see how anyone would find these pages except by browsing AFC logs. The thing that finally led me to decide to decline them is that they're not blatant: none (at least that I can remember) told the reader where to go to find the book or to see why its author or publisher were such good people. Between all of these circumstances, I'm not convinced that they're advertising and I'm definitely convinced that they're not good speedy deletion candidates. Given the fact that you declined all of them (with which action I heartily agree), I don't see what more should be done, unless you want to go with a nomination at WP:MFD.

Hello Chiswick Chap.

Hi there. Thanks for the work you've done on revising the article. I've enhanced the summary at the top, recognising you wanted a summary not an intro.
I have also refined the way the various surname dictionaries of surnames have been referenced: the Penguin dictionary is a distillation of the earlier ones I have cited, and many of the smaller ones do not even cover the name. I have checked a lot of them and included them where they make reference.
I note that the sense of the article has been changed from a history of the surname in UK, to look like the template Smith surname, as per the other reviewer's comment. It does mean that the detail of migration patterns and variations in the name has disappeared, partly because it is original research by me, which leaves the reader with no modern view of the surname's origins. Any thoughts on how this can be done, or if it is appropriate at all to Wikipedia?
I understand the comment that OR should not be published here, but does the information contained on the Gotts Family History website not constitute published work? There is little published work in the public domain, and I know I am one of the few sources of analysis of the data on the name. Maybe you can refer me to an article which shows how this can be handled.
Lastly, I understood that the article was published and therefore available to search for once it had been created, but I can't see it yet through the search engine: what else should happen? And lastly, as a newbie to creation of articles and talking via wikipedia I'm not even sure how you reply to this! But thanks anyway! IGotts ( talk 21:28, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi. This was my first new article and I submitted it before to finish it, generating confusion. Now I've accomplished it. You ask me "why the subject is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia". I've added a line in the beginning of the article, hoping it helps to answer: "Knowing something about his relatives was subject of research for many of his biographers, but the interviews was annoying for him and the subject indiscreet for his family." — Preceding unsigned comment added by PCMorphy72 ( talk • contribs) 17:20, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
I understand that family trees are not commonly used by biographers and rarely seen in biographies of such important persons as Syd Barrett is. But I guess that who knows how mammoth he was maybe understand the mine would be a good first attempt to do such family trees for many other important persons.

I think some replies to your statements are already in the name of my subject, splitting it in two parts: Syd Barrett and Genealogy: Q1. This submission doesn't sufficiently explain the importance or significance of the subject. See the guidelines on notability. Please provide more information on why the subject is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia.
R1a. If you mean the importance of Syd Barrett please read I've given you some introduction in my second post above, but you haven't reply yet. I've given a number of Barrett biographers in the article other than Luca Ferrari, but it seems it is not sufficient to you: perhaps the Syd Barrett Wikipedia article may help.

Dear Chiswick Chap,
Thanks for taking a look at my wiki entry on market governance mechanisms. I'm struggling to find any sources other than IIED sources (though I've now added one from the Uni of Edinburgh) because IIED is one of the few research institutes that uses this term and writes about it.

Thanks for your comment on the review. I'm at a loss for what more can be done. The group is made up of 2 very notable musicians from artists releasing multiple records on major labels and from the notability guidelines should demonstrate notability as a new group (#6 of said guidelines). I've added and resubmitted a few times and it seems each reviewer has a different mentality of a reliable source or what makes a musical act notable. I think if someone spent the time to look at the articles referenced (including links to AOL's Spinner and prominent music sites such as Purevolume and Absolute Punk), and look at the members other pages already existing on Wikipedia (which are linked), they would see the group is notable, just very new.
I understand there must be an overwhelming amount of pages being put up, but meeting these standards and still not seeming "notable" makes this seem not like the future of information but a rather archaic type of media. I suppose once the album is released and more articles written someone else will submit something, and until then Wikipedia's standards will help keep people searching for information uninformed. I appreciate any insight or recommendations you have for possibly improving this towards approval. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.148.102.117 ( talk) 20:18, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you so much. I admit I was at wits end a bit, and wasn't really sure what more I could do to point out that this was in fact a notable article. The archaic comment was out of frustration from getting a different denial every time and very little help in what would and is absolutely a suitable reference. However, your reply and attentiveness is awesome, just wish the review process had a way to connect with the people reviewing it a little easier without barraging them. I'll try to pop back over and reference the labels associated with the acts, as that would probably make for a better article anyway. Any other advice would be great as I don't wind up doing a ton of article creation/editing, but try to stay on top of all the preferences/rules. Thanks again! User:Grassrootsrpj
Hi there. I realise that such things are subjective but I have to say I'm very surprised at your decision to reject this article. I'm new to wikipedia, I admit, but one of the things that made me want to contribute was that there are so many insubstantial articles on subjects I happen to be interested in - existing articles that I've added to in the last week or so are good examples, I think: the On the Road to Freedom album by Alvin Lee and Mylon LeFevre, and the Apple documentary Raga (film). As I say, I appreciate your point of view, and that there are wiki guidelines that support it; my point is that example articles like those I've given here have been accepted, obviously, and they offer less (considerably less, I'd say) than the Tin Man Was a Dreamer piece I submitted ...
Never mind, I'll address the points you raise − yes, my focus was on interest by association rather than identifying the merits of the album in its own right, but it's quite an association, no?: (Nicky Hopkins, super-session player + ex-Beatle George Harrison + the latter's Material World album + Rolling Stone Mick Taylor + Beatles' Apple Studio + Rolling Stones 1973 Pacific tour + other big names from the period, such as Voormann, Keys, Price, Cooper, etc).

Hi there, I'm not sure I'm doing it the right way but here is: In your recent updates on Shiva Ayyadurai's page, you've made a little change that slightly changed the meaning of existing sentence. There was:
"In 1981, a year in which every Unix system included networked email, Ayyadurai's short paper on his software...blah" (with a refence to version 7 of UNIX man pages, copyrighted in 1979)
that you replaced with:
"In 1979, email (local and networked) for the Unix operating system was copyrighted" (keeping same reference)
I think it's misleading because the original intend was to show prior art, to explain that in 1981, when VA Shiva wrote is paper, UNIX mail was already existing (proof this 1979 man page, etc...).
But how it is now, it just tells UNIX 'mail' was copyrighted in 1979.
First, I'm not sure UNIX (and included mail command) was copyright that year, and anyway what's important is that UNIX was providing a mail command well before 1981. See this older 'mail' man page from first version of UNIX (1971): http://man.cat-v.org/unix-1st/1/mail

Hi - I flew AOA for a quarter century, and grad school in Aero, and based on that background and experience... I think the addition is constructive, factual and relevant -- because it makes Wiki accurate and factual. The Cobra is not a High AOA maneuver, but something different; there is no real wind over the airfoil relative to the chord of it. The Cobra is more of a thrust vector change, akin to rocket launch dynamics. Too many people don't know what AOA really is, see:
http://www.advanced-flight-systems.com/Support/AOAsupport/AOA%20slides.ppt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_attack
If you add in a thrust vector to make this maneuver occur, you are NOT employing Angle of Attack to fly. While this maneuver is not always implemented with gimballed thrust, it uses this effect by either maneuvering the tailcone, or the whole airframe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_vectoring http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_Turn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermaneuverability http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pugachev's_Cobra http://www.airspacemag.com/flight-today/Thrust_Vectoring.html
Which all corroborate my change. This maneuver is not a High AOA maneuver but thrust vectoring in whatever form it is executed. If you want Wiki to remain factual, I would recommend you leave my changes, or take out the Cobra line altogether. I have edited Angle of Attack further to make it clearer. All in the name of Wiki's accuracy. Thanks. Paul Shankland, Ph.D., Flagstaff, AZ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.121.81.138 ( talk) 19:10, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi, good to meet you. I was responding to the sudden appearance of an incomplete fragment, unsupported by evidence. I am glad to hear this was "in good faith" and to see that you are now providing evidence. (Actually, refs to other Wikipedia pages can't be used as proof, as they too can be edited by anyone, so they aren't "reliable sources", but I see you have non-WP sources here also.)
I wouldn't presume to comment on the aeronautics, but I can observe that the paragraph in 'high alpha' repeats some phrases several times, and seems to go backwards and forwards across the "critical" line, which is definitely confusing. Perhaps you could rework it to start "below", move up to "critical" and then continue "above"? All the best Chiswick Chap ( talk) 19:21, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

This is a little off-topic for the FAC :) so I hope you don't mind me popping here. To what extent was Barkas involved in the southern camoflaging? e.g. two of the subsidiary ops. involved digging gun pits and creating a fake water pipeline, I don't have clear sourcing for who was tasked with this. Does he mention Pioneer Corps? (who were the formation tasked with driving back and forth in the south to fake the build up). -- Errant ( chat!) 10:19, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
Yes, he did all of that. I have a pile of notes and am constructing Bertram, Barkas, Sykes and more all at once, my head is spinning!

I noticed you've made major changes to the images and gallery at Mermaid. In particular, you've reduced the number of images in both the article and the gallery, eliminating some entirely, and moving some excellent pictures from the article to the gallery. You've also placed all of the images on the right and made them uniformly small. This makes the article much less visually-appealing and more like a wall of text with postage stamps on the side. Before the images were somewhat balanced, and each set to a size that allowed them to be seen in reasonable detail. I'm particularly baffled by your decision to replace Weguelin's Mermaid of Zennor with a picture of the mermaid chair (and the approximation of the date was rather important, so making it more definite when dating it is actually quite uncertain seems to be a mistake as well). The other Weguelin paintings in the gallery were added because they were some of the best images of the classic mermaid depiction available on Wikimedia commons. Removing them on the grounds that there should only be one image per artist seems rather arbitrary; where did this rule come from? The gallery was intended to present a wide selection of images, not just a choice of artists who happen to have painted mermaids. Relegating one of the most prolific artists in the genre to the gallery, and confining that to a single image visually impoverishes the text mere days after it had been approved as a "good article." I'd like to ask you to reconsider some of these choices, in favour of a more richly-illustrated article and gallery. P Aculeius ( talk) 13:25, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Could you explain your comments further to me? For example, the article lists, by country, occasions where Britain has attacked and so lists for Argentina in 1806 when //"A British expeditionary force of 1,700 men, under Home Riggs Popham, occupies Buenos Aires, without official orders. Locals cross to Montevideo to raise support to successfully repel the occupation."https:// and for further information one can click through via the date the campaign or the places mentioned. What is wrong with that? I want to understand. Are you saying that the event might be notable in the context of Argentina but not notable in a list of countries that Britain has attacked?

Hi, the Wikipedia policy of WP:NOTINHERITED (please take a look at it), for which I am in no way responsible, simply states that every article has to stand on its own two feet rather than relying on any other articles, no matter how closely related or comprehensive they may be. The reason for this is that they may change or be deleted, and of course anyone may edit them. The only way, therefore, to ensure that an article is WP:VERIFIABLE is to provide sources in the article itself. This is part of one of the WP:PILLARS of Wikipedia, so I do hope it doesn't come as excessively bad news. All the best, Chiswick Chap ( talk) 19:19, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the clever award. The artwork is very nice; and the ptarmigan bring back memories of life in a Newfoundland outport where our hostess fed us with ptarmigan and home-made jam from what they called ptarmigan berries which grew in profusion on the tundra. I believe the outport families subsisted largely on fish caught off the Grand Banks, but they offered us ptarmigan because they considered it a treat from their routine diet.
I'm less enthusiastic about the modifications you have made to the United States Navy second world war ship camouflage measures article. I believe you over-reacted to the tag rather than referring the editor back to our previous Talk:Ship camouflage discussion regarding the best way to describe individual camouflage measures. Your present edit has cut off the individual measure links and substituted a general article link which I feel is unsatisfactory considering the number of measures within the article. This is a wider problem than the links within the ship camouflage article; since I intend to link these measures from individual wartime photos appearing in articles describing individual ships and battles. If you know a way to link an individual measure within the present format, please do so with the measure 32 link in the ship camouflage article. If not, I propose to restore linking specificity within the original format. Thewellman ( talk) 19:31, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

I am willing to wait for response on the definition, for I have lately perceived a decline in the number of active knowledgeable editors. Perhaps my generation is dying off. I greatly value your perspectives and contributions on this subject. I am hunting for sources explaining reasons for between the wars denigration of dazzle camouflage for ships. I suspect that might be a reasonable chronological boundary differentiating dazzle camouflage from later disruptive schemes. As you pointed out, Cott's 1940 text marks a similar divide in nomenclature. On the basis of personal experience, I suspect primary motivations for discontinuing dazzle camouflage included a lack of visual appeal to the military mindset preferring a parade formation of spotless uniformity, and the comparative difficulty of maintaining a two-tone paint scheme rather than a single color more forgiving of drips and spills. These underlying preferences were likely masked by alleged statistical studies of combat experience; although military studies of the period often lack scientific method controls. In any event, I am searching for sources which might support or refute my hypotheses. Thewellman ( talk) 20:25, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi CC! I want to ask a favor from you. I'm interested in creating an article for Rabbi Jack Spiro, who is also a professor. I'm finding tons of sources that confirm that his work has been considered to be notable in that he's name dropped in a ton of books as a resource, but I'm not sure how that would translate into notability here on Wikipedia per WP:PROF. The biggest issue here is that he is/was one of my professors at my college and is someone who I look up to and respect a great deal. I know that this means that there is a COI here and that I might be seeing more notability than might actually exist. Because of that, I don't think that if an article is made, I absolutely should not do so by myself. I know that you've edited articles on people and you're a good judge of sources, so I wanted to ask if you could look at some of the sources I've found and if there are enough that would show he'd pass notability guidelines, review the page (or contribute or write it) before it hits the mainspace. I'd love for there to be an article, but I really don't want to jeopardize that with bad COI editing. I know I can edit if I have a COI, but I would be more comfortable if I had at least one other editor, if not several, going behind me to keep it from turning into a love fest. If you know anyone else that would be helpful in this, please let me know! I've started collecting book mentions here, but I haven't fully looked at every source just yet.
