== Reid's Heritage Homes ==

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your feedback on the Reid's article. I found it a challenge to balance the requirement for notability with the requirement that it not be advertorial.

Reid's is the first company in Canada to create these energy neutral homes. This has been covered in a variety of major independent sources, including CBC Radio 1, the Toronto Star, the Department of Natural Resources, and Metroland media. This would all seem to indicate notability. The difficulty is that when I note the evidence of this notability, it can start to look advertorial.

Can you give me a recommendation on how to make this more neutral sounding, while still demonstrating the notability to justify a Misplaced Pages article?

Thanks,

Graeme <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 18:03, 2 October 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:It can be hard. References verify notability. We require references from ''significant'' coverage ''about'' the topic of the article, and ''independent'' of it, and ''in ]'' please. See ]. Please also see ] which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and ] which has clear limitations on self published sources. With good references, only one per fact you assert, the tone may be almost totally flat. Aim for Dull-But-Worthy and you will get there, assuming they pass ]. ] ] 18:07, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

== {{tl|coordinates missing}} ==
Hi. I'm writing to users who have used the "coordinates missing" template in the last year. Could you please use the standard template "coord missing" instead? While the "coordinates missing" template is a redirect to the "coord missing" template, and thus works fine in articles, using "coord missing" directly makes a number of automated bot workflows work better by eliminating the overhead of having to track down the uses of "coordinates missing" to eliminate the redirects. Thanks, -- ] (]) 12:29, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Sorry "Reviewer" you've lost me. Finding it difficult to fathom your "unreliable sources" response. Some details are pre-internet availability, as previously mentioned in a help request I didn't receive an answer to. Each and every source cited is available in hard copy (as previously advised). How do you suggest it is done? Not everything is on the internet. You may like to expand of what sources are unreliable. If government press releases have been removed due to age, is that deemed "unreliable"? We have the hard copies; that's where we have obtained our reliable sources from. You have already advised us that we had too many footnotes, - fair enough with listing our publications - so what gives with "sources unreliable"? It's a Misplaced Pages page, isn't it? Doesn't that cover things pre-internet age? The required format for External Sources and Further Reading is what is difficult to work out how to do it. But I have looked at other Misplaced Pages pages and their External Sources and in identical format. So, over to you guys. It really is complicated trying to fathom Wiki it if one is not a computer nerd.
PS: What is puzzling is that there is a Misplaced Pages page for Graeme Reeves which is full of inaccuracies from top to bottom and containing factually incorrect information. How did it get uploaded onto Misplaced Pages? It discredits Misplaced Pages.] (]) 23:13, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

:{{Ping|Calais1984}} Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. I answered the most important parts of your question. Sources do not need to be online, but they need to pass ]. Reliability does not pass with age.

:The word "we" concerns me. It implies that you are part of the organisation. Please see ] and understand that those rules will apply very fully once the draft is accepted.

:No precedent is ever set by any article for any other. If it were we would have a brutally fast descent into ].

:If by "over to you" you mean that it becomes someone else's job to make this draft acceptable, that ''may'' happen, but it is unlikely. It is down to you. So, if you have a precise, rifle targeted question about the comments I have left for you, please ask it.

== {{noping|ChicagoFreelanceWriter}} COI/Paid editing ==

Hi {{u|Timtrent}}, I noticed your report on ] for {{noping|ChicagoFreelanceWriter}} - odd that they didn't see it as a username violation given it could be easily shared... Anyway! I recently reviewed their AfC and declined it due to lack of notability. I also reminded them to respond to your talk page messages, so hopefully that helps get the message across for you. Cheers. ] <sup>(])</sup> 11:40, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

God damn, your pathetic rationales for deletion are coming back to bite you. Next time, put some effort into it.
