	Hi Robert,
	As you advised, I requested the username change, but I am still awaiting for approval. It is Anna Lisa now (once it will be approved)
	As well I tried to edit the beginning of the text to be more encyclopedic, I hope it will be ok now.

	==Barony of Blackhall==
	Hello Robert.
	We had asked for resolution of a dispute with Justlettersandnumbers concerning the Barony of Blackhall page. Discussion has been ongoing for years and now our article has just disappeared. There had been discussion on the talk page but the old entries were removed two years ago after a seeming resolution. Justlettersandnumbers appears repeatedly in the history as having removed text. We understand that the dispute resolution process has been stopped by you, yet it seemed to us that there is sufficient history in the talk page to search for a resolution and that Justlettersandnumbers does have an elaborate contact page. Justlettersandnumbers has removed our article repeatedly at a stroke and left something else in its place. Should we reconstitute the original to get the dispute-resolution process moving? He will just remove it again if we do, we think. We left our comments on his (or her) talk page, but he has removed them also.
	Please help us here.
	Thanks and kind wishes. ] (]) 17:13, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
	We have just returned the article to its original with a note to please leave, as under disput resolution. we suspect that Justlettersandnumbers will vandalise it again. It's the best we can do to prepare the resolution.] (]) 17:42, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

	== About merging my article. ==
	Hello, I may have a problem with merging the article into another because I attempted to a couple of times, but some wikipedia people, like Betty Logan had undone my edits because she thought what I was doing on their made it worse and it's unnecessary and some other wikipedia person called (this was while is wasn't logged on to my account) SchroCat said this about my edits:
	Bond, again
	You've been reminded of basic standards (in the thread above). There is an open thread about the awful idiot box; it is strongly recommended you join in that thread, rather than edit war to your own preference. - SchroCat (talk),
	and Betty said on the List of James Bond films page:
	Addition of the infobox
	I have reverted the addition of the infobox for several reasons:
	The infobox looks like an incomprehensible mess with all those names and numbers. It is not clear which person worked on which films.
	This is even the wrong article for this information. This list just covers some statistical stuff. The production background for the series is at James Bond in film, and the management of the production crew data is far more effectively managed at James_Bond_in_film#Core_crew. When you are dealing with 26 films trying to stuff all that information into an infobox is diabolical.
	This list is Featured rated and major structural alterations should be discussed beforehand. Betty Logan (talk) 07:48, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
	I agree: an awful addition that is utterly confusing. IBs are not compulsory on articles, and are at their best when they help readers or add information. They are at their worst in cases like this - when more questions are raised than answered and when people are left bewildered and confused bu what was being considered. - SchroCat (talk) 08:15, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
	I was going to complete it and used another infobox as a template to complete the other one and not only that, they undid all the other info I had put on those pages too.
	Can you do anything to let me put my draft info into James Bond filmography without anyone undoing my changes and what should I do?
	(] (]) 02:58, 1 January 2016 (UTC))
	::It appears that this is a content dispute that has been going on, and that other editors, including ] and ], disagree with your edits. In that case, they should be discussed on the article talk page, ]. Read ]. If discussion on the talk page is unsuccessful, try one of the procedures described in the policy, such as ] or a ]. Creating a second article, known as a ], as a way of providing your own version of an article is strongly discouraged. You have also been making discussion more difficult by alternately editing with your registered account and editing logged out. Maybe you need to take advantage of the option to stay logged in. You have also been cautioned by administrator ] for being combative with other editors. So read the dispute resolution policy, discuss on the talk page, and, if that doesn't work, use one of the dispute resolution procedures. The best way to get our changes put into the article without having them reverted is to get agreement from the other editors. ] (]) 03:10, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
	Can you please have a talk with them first and I join you too once I start the agreement? You are the first editor I've come across who has been nicer to me and more enthusiastic with my eagerness for my 007 article and with my ideas (only the times I didn't insult them and since I am a beginner) I thank you for that. I also tried to have an apology with the wikipedia administrator and Betty Logan, but they didn't reply back. Did my article at least have potential?
	(] (]) 03:16, 1 January 2016 (UTC))
	::I will give neutral advice at ], but if you are asking me to advocate for you, I am not ready to do that, only to give neutral advice. You say that I am the first editor who has been nice to you. I will point out that there are at least two ways to have editors not be nice to you. The first is to not try to be nice to them, and you were cautioned for being combative. The second is by insisting on your own way with no respect for collaboration. (A third way is to confuse them by being inconsistent as to logging in.) Pause and reconsider. ] (]) 03:28, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
	I will stay logged on to this account from now on and also about the teahouse thing, I want to ask you if we can resume talking there on how I can improve my article so it can be accepted and be an actual wikipedia article. I don't want to be mean to those editors anymore and I wish they could be more nicer to me as I was trying to be nice towards them at the end of the dispute. So, can we resume our talks at the teahouse? I'll create a new section there called article advice or do you want to create it? Also, what is the wikipedia definition of a thread?
	(] (]) 03:44, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
	I put a new section into the talk page at teahouse. Please check it out and reply. Thanks :)'
	(] (]) 04:19, 1 January 2016 (UTC))
	:First, your section is on the Teahouse talk page and not at the Teahouse questions page itself. I won't answer it. If you ask at the Teahouse questions page, I will answer it. However, here is my answer. You want to know how to improve your article to get it accepted. The problem isn't that you need to improve the article. You haven't made the case that a separate new article is needed. Creating a separate new article, as a ], is not a substitute for reaching consensus with the other editors. I don't intend to advise you on how to improve your draft. You need to work with the other editors to improve the existing article. ] (]) 04:42, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
	Do I have to ask them permission first before I merge my info into the existing Bond article?
	(] (]) 04:48, 1 January 2016 (UTC))
	Another reason why I can't merge because it talks about the film's themselves too like a user (not me) tried to edit in that article (James Bond Filmography):
	(cur | prev) 11:57, 16 December 2015‎ Betty Logan (talk | contribs)‎ . . (69,588 bytes) (-138)‎ . . (Undid revision 695455002 by 122.107.216.220 (talk) This article is not about the quality of the individual films.) (undo | thank)
	I also checked the info on the article itself and it made it impossible for me to put my info in. Is there a possible way because I can't seem to come up with one?
	(] (]) 04:57, 1 January 2016 (UTC))
	Hi again,
	I wrote to Betty Logan on her talk page and give her the link to my draft article to see how she thinks of it. So, to see if she accepts it, agrees with your merging idea, or declines it and should not go on to other articles.

	Dear Robert,
	I am the author of the page dedicated to Liedewij Hawke, a Canadian literary translator.
	My draft was decline for the following reason:
	"This draft is unsourced. Please provide multiple independent reliable sources."
	I understand that the issue is that much of the biographical information is not cited. However, there are no independent public source of such information as Liedewij's birth town, schools that she had attended, diplomas that she received, year she moved to Canada from Netherlands, etc. All of this information comes from Liedewij herself (I personally got this information from her when working on this assignment for my theory of translation class at York University). I would hate to delete this information as doing so will rob the profile of depth and detail.
	I would appreciate if you could get back to me so that we could discuss what can be done to preserve this valuable information.
	Yours truly,
	Irina

	Hi - I created the page for a filmmaker named Jason Mann. I see that you pointed me to the Misplaced Pages page for a different Jason Mann. They are, indeed, two different American filmmakers. For evidence, here are their IMDb pages:

	The other Jason Mann (the page I am trying to create): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1157607/?ref_=fn_al_nm_2

Identical article could be created about New Zealand as I had all necessary information as listed on the Australian article, but of course, about New Zealand. There is the map indicating location of both countries that I would like to add (didn't find how so far...) and among other articles that are not ready at all yet, there is also a link about the Swiss Embassy in New Zealand history with names of all Ambassadors as soon as the article is approved. This article has been declined a few times and is now ready to be submitted again (I just need to be brave enough to click on the "submit" button as it's its the last chance (and mine probably too)...) : https://en.wikipedia.org/Draft:Embassy_of_Switzerland_in_New_Zealand.
	I was wondering if I was doing the right thing at the right place ? or if these articles should go somewhere else on WP like a portal ?
	Robert, I would really appreciate if you could give me a hint here as I am a bit lost...
	Thanks in advance & kind regards,

	== Undid your edit to ] ==
	Hi, I'm explaining myself here so you don't see my edit summary as overly brusque.
	In these sorts of discussions, it's all but impossible to separate behavior from content, because content is generated by user behavior. In this particular case, I took issue with two aspects of your edit:
	#You collapsed a section in which I questions the other user's understanding, while leaving open the section it was in response to, which questioned my own understanding. That implies a double standard.
	#You collapsed a section in which I explained that an important factor in my decision to seek mediation was another editor's behavior, which has played a major part in generating the content I object to. I did not call for censure in any way, and have no intention of doing so. As outlined in the initial request, I have asked for help trying to communicate WP policy to the other editor. Removing part of the complaint which illustrates the need for this is an unnecessarily strict interpretation of ], as I'm not attacking, but simply explaining myself. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">] ]</span> 20:12, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

	Question regarding submission of article "Serdar Bulun"
	Dear Mr. McClenon,
	I was recently notified that the Misplaced Pages article titled “Serdar Bulun” was declined for further publishing. Based on the comment you provided, you mentioned the lack of in-line citations after each paragraph as well as the general discouragement to submit autobiographies. As Dr. Bulun’s administrative assistant, I submitted this draft which was proposed and created by Dr. Hugh Taylor, also a physician-scientist and the chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Yale University. I believe my submission was misunderstood as an ‘autobiography’; however, Dr. Taylor’s intention was to submit this as a biography of Dr. Bulun. With that, would you kindly suggest the next best step to alleviate the issues associated with this submission? Would it be best to ask Dr. Taylor to directly create and submit a different draft? Thank you so much in advance.
	Best,
	Nadia Mahmood

	I also re-checked and insured that the article referred to a range of independent, reliable, and published sources such as the New York Times, The New York Daily News, and made sure that those citings were relevant to, and justified whatever statement in the article they were referring to. made the tone of the article more neutral formal and encyclopedic.

	Comment: This draft is an autobiography, and the submission of autobiographies is strongly discouraged due to conflict of interest. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:27, 9 January 2016 (UTC) what I don't understand is how this article differs from innumerable other Misplaced Pages Pages about individuals. So my question is what specific criteria does my article fail to meet, or said another way what attributes would my submission need to possess so that it would be, in form, structure, tone, and content equivalent to other neutral articles about notable individuals on Misplaced Pages, and as a part B to the question what specific types of corrections or modifications do I need to make to my submission in order to make it qualify as an acceptable article about an individual?

	Dear Robert,
	I carefully reviewed my draft Henri Hauser I made many corrections, added many precisions, references and links and then I submitted my version and it was declined once again by because a current article Henri Hauser was existing. But, this current one is full of mistakes such as Henri Hauser is an agrarian that he is not at all, this is Walter Hauser. Many great steps of his influential life are missing.
	I really don't understand that someone can write such a poor quality article and mine was made with a lot of research and readings, it took a huge time and someone can refuse just for this poor reason without any reading of my version.
	You refer keep an incorrect article and decline mine ?
	I could admit that my article could be still improved or request an assistance but declining without taking into account the quality of the contents is incredible...
	At least, does someone read the draft article at the end ? I did an honest article and someone who obviously know nothing about HH can keep his article ?

	== Henri Hauser by atalante88 ==
	Dear Robert,
	I confess I am lost with your comments.
	First of all, I am a French-speaker and not an English Native speaker. This is certainly where I need some help and certainly in others fields I admit this with no problem.
	But, the situation is as follow :
	Henri Hauser was French as well and was a main Economist with a huge influence in France but widely above in UK, England, US, Germany etc.. just before WWI and between WW1 and WW2. I thought that it would bring some values to some English Wiki readers to have some pieces of knowledge about Henri Hauser even if he was a French Economist. He even brought a huge influence to famous English Economists as well such as Willam Beveridge, Edwin F. Gay wich was the Dean of HBS or R.H. Tawney from LSE. He had a long run friendship with those people. Then two researchers such as SA Marin and GH Soutou collects many testimonies from many personalities well known such as Natalie Zemon Davis who can speak and write in French , Paul Gerbod, Paul Claval, Laurent Vissière, Jean-Paul Poussou, Philip Benedict (it is in English in the book), Henri Heller, Herman Van der Wee, Jean-François Bergier, Jean-Marie Mayeur, Christian Morrisson, Eric Bussière, Isabelle Lescent-Giles, Claude Fohlen, John L. Harvey, François Chaubert, Luiz Felipe de Alencastro, Myriam Yardeni. A preface from Professor René Rémond from Académie française and put it in a book called Henri Hauser edited from Sorbon. In my article, I linked nearly all those names to external links to referencial French websites such Sorbon or CNRS in order to get to know those Professors or reseachers ...
	The Sources as you require for, are mainly written in French but by researchers. The Sources and the link are the BNF (National French Library), (Sorbon edition), Gallica (for old newspapers or documents for France), Leonore database for Legion d'honneur etc...those institutions are Official and known everywhere in the World.
	So, what can I do if documents are mainly in French or in German and no many in English ? I tried the best I can to link to English link.
	So, I don't know what to do more as this presentation took much time and if you are not interested by knowing better French Economists just let me know. I can't find all sources written in English if it does not exist.
	I stay at your disposal in case you would be still interested to provide an overview on Henri Hauser's work as a unique Economist to your English readers.
	Best regards,
	Frederique Bailly

	Hello Robert,
	Thank you for reviewing my submission of the "Bo's Place" entry. I'm working on changes to the article draft. It may take a week or so to complete the edits so please bear with me. I appreciate your review and comments!
	== At a loss for what to do ==
	Have been following your ] to "ignore non-constructive comments on talk pages." The unknown user or users is using that ignoring as a proxy for consensus: if no one immediately disagrees with the nonsense posted to the talk page then making nonsense changes to the article must be okay.
	For example, the IRS labels the Foundation for Economic Education as an "Educational Organization," hence the 2015 citation of the Internal Revenue Service that includes the direct quote "Educational Organization." ], the unknown user or users deleted "nonprofit educational organization" and replaced it with "think tank" with an edit summary of "Following talk page discussion."
	This makes it seem like if I follow "ignore non-constructive comments on talk pages," I will be condoning the nonsense edits that follow the nonsense talk postings. When the foundation started it was certainly a think tank, but that was like 70 years ago, and is no longer the case today.
	I am now at a loss for what to do. It seems like the unknown user or users just plans to keep wearing people down until they give up and let them add whatever nonsense they like. ] (]) 16:12, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

	I know this is probably a tough and thankless job, and I waited a while to cool down before complaining here. I would have appreciated a little bit more guidance -- and maybe a firmer hand -- in the mediation on ]. I see from other discussions that mediators sometimes strike-through or hide off topic or uncivil statements, but that was never done in this case, and there was never even a direct warning issued about it, even though this of comment was going on before the DRN opened. Prohibiting threaded discussions is a good idea, in retrospect, but there really isn't much documentation for how DRN is supposed to work. I saw from looking at past disputes that parties aren't supported to engage in threaded discussions before the DRN opens, but you didn't comment on it even when it was happening before the DRN opened. I realize I shouldn't have taken the bait and reverted Mattnad's re-insertion of the disputed material, but I simply reverted the change and then tried to continue the discussion.

From your talk page I gleaned that you have been involved with on-line communities since they were in their infancy (?). That must give you quite a perspective.

Must be because he is a white cop and his victims are poor black women." Although I believe that is an important component of this story, I believe that like any other criminal tale, there is more than meets the eye. I take as examples the WP articles on infamous criminals and rapists like , , , and others. Although their crimes shock and disgust us, we realize that they are human, had friends and families, and to some degree that there must be some explanation for why things turned out so bad for them and those who became involved with them in one way or another.
			Which, like the occasional defective monitor that comes out of the factory, science is going to have the occasional misrepresented source. The question is whether it's just an accident or indicative of something else (like ]).
	That is the story I am attempting to tell on this article that supposedly concerns itself with former OKC PD officer . We don't even have a photo of the guy on the page. Maybe it should be renamed "the Trial of D.H." although even that is presented in a flat contrast. Every attempt I've made to add richness and depth to this article has been instantly and unapologetically shot down. I am becoming pessimistic and cynical about the integrity of Misplaced Pages, an amazing collaborative source for so much that I and so many others have enjoyed - a repository of human knowledge. Foregoing any more cheesy slogans, I am asking you, or anyone who has been around WP for a while to help us come to an agreement on how we can all contribute to the complexity and contradiction as it is rendered on this website instead of resorting to non sequiturs and straw man justifications for thinly-veiled censorship. I appreciate your time and concern.
			If I ever come back to this, I think it might be worth going to a village pump, since it's likely multiple policies are going to be affected. In the meantime, I'd like to take a bit of a break and close this DRN.

	Hi, User:Jesus Rey-Joly. I just had a look at the draft. I clicked through on some of the references and there are some problems. If you haven't already done so, go read wp:rs which is the page about "reliable sources." You've used some sources that don't meet the criteria there. For example, the svrproducciones source is a sales site, and that is not a reliable source. I know that you were intending to link to proof that the album exists, but in this case it's best not. The "list of students by teacher" and the Zoominfo entry also should be removed. If you would like, I could go through and edit out the sources that shouldnt' be there, then we could see where the gaps are. I think we can make this work. LaMona (talk) 16:45, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

	So I had made a minor change before resubmitting it, removing a videography section to the page as the sources were posted to YouTube by the band itself. That was the difference between the first time it was submitted and the time you reviewed it. But I'm still trying to understand how my sources aren't "reliable." I had this discussion with the previous reviewer and I got the impression that he was the wrong person for this particular type of artist, as he did not understand reputability within this genre. So my question is: how exactly can my sources not be reliable? They are all varied between multiple sites that are entirely independent of the artist (minus a couple that are there purely for referencing dates and proving existence.) One of them is ], which is a well established and reliable print magazine and another is the very well known and reputable ]. I have found many artists in similar genres with similar notability and they have Misplaced Pages pages with less sources from similar outlets. Just as well, they are listed or referenced on other pages here and the link redirects to the wrong artist (which I'm in the process of removing those links for accuracy.)

The current summary is that there are 4-5 editors supporting the new edit with citations added, and two editors who Oppose it. The easier solution would seem to be to allow the admin request for an administrator close to stand since it is already over half way through the waiting list there, if you could to return the RfC status to its Open status pending the already requested admin close by an administrator. ] (]) 16:03, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

	Hi Robert - thanks for reviewing the article I wrote on Just Bee Drinks. I wanted to write this page as the company is a supplier to my Deli and the first drinks company of its kind in the UK. I believe this makes it very notable and the background to Just Bee Drinks has been reported in many leading publications in the UK (The Daily Telegraph, the Manchester Evening News just to name a few). I have tried to write it in as neutral way as possible and certainly don't want it to appear as an advertisement.

	== Draft Henri Hauser stolen ==
	« Join this discussion
	Dear Robert,
	I am very shocked and dispapointed as someone called "Voceditenore" took my article and improved her article without any permission Copy/Past from my own sandbox the draft-Henry-Hauser and to her last current crappy article and let all the mistakes such as Henri Hauser was an agragarian !
	https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Henri_Hauser&action=history
	Then, she wrote this : https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Henry_Aron
	"On the contary, Atalante88, this article had zero references. I have now re-written it and added three references which verify the material and establish his notability. Please do not add further material to this article unless you provide an inline citation to verify it and please do not include information from genealogy websites or similar self-published sources. Voceditenore (talk) 16:55, 24 January 2016 (UTC)"
	It appears that Voceditenore is the author of the last crappy article and what she could do is stealing articles from others and insulting people. And she left only three references and she erased the article from my own sandbox.
	I don't understand that you declined a correct article honestly written and you prefer to let dishonest people stealing articles from the work of others. I accepted the rules of submission and anyone can do anything, do you accepted it ? Did you give this right ?
	My feeling is that Voceditenore knows nothing about the work of Henry Hauser, in addition she knows nothing about Economy and she read practically nothing about or from HH. She displayed the picts from the book of Severine-Antigone Marin w/o any permission. I'm trying to contact Mrs Marin and Mr Soutou.
	I hope you will be as severe as you previously were with me and the difference is I did the job by myself I did not steal work from anyone !

	Thank you for taking the time to review this page and recommend some solutions. I hope my rationale for the creation of this page will help clear up some of your concerns.
	Although University of Oklahoma Outreach is connected in name to the University of Oklahoma, it is a separate entity from the university itself. Outreach sponsors public service and community programs (like the annual Medieval Fair for Norman residents, for instance, or training for the U.S. postal service), has outside funding sources, and functions for a different purpose.
	Although Outreach does also provide learning opportunities for working adults, the academic focus is different from OU’s campus. OU provides on-campus education for students ages 18-22; Outreach provides online, distance, and flexible format courses to adult students and members of the military – and, in fact, does not typically consider students under the age of 22 for admission. This can be confusing for traditional OU students who are looking for online course options they think Outreach can provide, when that is not in fact the purpose of this entity. Having a separate Misplaced Pages page for Outreach will help clear up their confusion.
	I realize I did not provide sufficient content to explain this in my original submission, however, and have included additional sections in the entry. Please see the updated content of the page for further explanation.

I would be very eager to learn how to help this article achieve GA status and of course to learn of how to improve the article even further.
	The article is about classical and flamenco guitar, atonal music in general and on internationally renowned Canadian guitarist ] in particular. I very much enjoyed contributing several hundred hours of research and edits. We've made about 1500 careful edits, about half of which are the incredible work of {{Ping|Checkingfax}}, and over 40 other editors have also helped. We used neat LDR (List-defined references), and there are 120, all carefully researched for verifiability.
	In the English version I strived for improved syntax and style, smoothness and readability. I am a proud "]" (multilingual person) and took the pleasure of making and Spanish versions for now.
	I know time is always too short on this our mortal orb {{Smiley}}. Could you take a moment to give me some feedback; even a quick glimpse would be appreciated. My goal is to make it better and GA worthy, and I love to learn. While we would like to strive for GA status, the "grade" is not so important to me, neither is credit in any way; creating the best an article can be is important. I am a perfectionist from birth, it would seem...

	Hello Robert McClenon, Thanks for your intervention of Feb. 3rd, and your suggestions for my entry "Nikos Mourkogiannis". I have already written another entry in 2014 about the Greek stage director Fotos Politis, but the rules were much simpler then. I also contribute to the Greek Misplaced Pages since 2012, because I live in Greece. However, I grew up in Manhattan, where I attended the Irish Catholic High School "Power Memorial Academy" on Columbus Avenue (no longer in existence)and I graduated from Columbia University. I would now like to ask for some assistance for my entry which you examined. The text I submitted is just the opening of a much longer article, with information from books and business and economic journals predominantly from the U.S. and the U.K. I will include many citations to support the verifiability of my sources, and thus I included one footnote in my short text as an example. Unfortunately, this example did not follow the Misplaced Pages formula and constituted one more reason my text was up for deletion. I checked another footnote in "Misplaced Pages:Citing sources", which had the following form: "Ritter, Ron (2002). ''The Oxford Style Manual''. Oxford University Press. p. 1" and noticed that in fact my footnote had one more piece of information than Misplaced Pages's, and that was the place of publication. Of course, my form did not follow the same sequence as did Misplaced Pages's. But this can be easily corrected. However, my footnote is a different kind of citation than Ritter's. Mine does not refer to a book, but to a foreword in a book so that I have to cite first the author of the foreword and then the author of the book and its title. I would surely like to have your opinion on my footnote.
	If you have no objection, I will continue working on the entry in the sandbox and when I feel it's practically finished I will again ask for your opinion. All my best --] (]) 15:33, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
	== Duplicate drafts ==
	Hi, I saw you declined the userspace copies of the drafts on ] and ] because they duplicated the draftspace drafts. They indeed did (so much so that I merged the page histories to credit the original authors), but that decline reason is meant only for duplicate ''submitted'' drafts (to save us from fully reviewing multiple copies of the same draft). In this case the draftspace drafts were not submitted. ] (]) 19:46, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
	:Where does it say that this only applies to submitted drafts? What can be done if the sandbox duplicates a declined non-submitted draft? ] (]) 20:01, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
	::Sorry for my slow response. It says so right in the "Submission declined" message box, compare for example ]: "This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Marathon Artists, which is also waiting to be reviewed." If the other page is not "a submission waiting to be reviewed" (ie is not submitted), that's not applicable. If the sandbox is on the same topic, but the draftspace draft is not submitted, I'd treat the two as if they were one draft (and merging the page histories may indeed be necessary): Review the submitted one, if necessary decline for the same reason the other was declined for before, and if there is ''no'' change whatsoever, comment that the author (who in this case was not the author of the other draft) should not submit the same content again without improvement. ] (]) 20:27, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

	==Ongoing ref desk stuff==
	Do you agree that more admin attention would be good for resolving our current ref desk disputes? I know you don't agree with me on all these issues, but that's actually a positive in some sense: you're smart, fair and civil, and so I thought maybe you'd like to participate in crafting a post for AN with me and perhaps a few others. I've considered posting something there several times, but 1)It takes time to link and address everything, and I fear that if I post too little, it won't get much respect/attention. 2) I fear even unintentionally giving too biased of an account, and coming across as recruiting for my cause. My actual main goals would be to point out 1) the current state is not good (I think you agree with that, at least insofar as it's causing lots of disagreement and disruption. Lots of words being spent on the ref desk talk page that could be better spent almost anywhere else) 2) nothing can move forward without some guidelines being clarified and at least an attempt at consensus among admins. This is because protection status is admin only. Even if you're right, and consensus seems to be against long-term semi-protection, I don't think it will matter, all that matters is who has the power to make change, and in this case, that's admins.
	I don't even really care if things don't work out the way I want them to. If the ref desks end up permanently closed, I won't like it, but I'd be happier knowing it was part of a consensus process, and not the whim of just a few users. What's really bugging me is that it really seems one or two users are effectively getting to have their way and not participate in the consensus process. ] (]) 21:54, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

	::Thanks! I'll let you know when it's ready. ] (]) 22:11, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
	:::Yes, we agree that the Reference Desks are not in good shape. We disagree about medium-term semi-protection, but I think that we agree that there are two problems. The first problem is trolls (and an occasional vandal). The second is regular editors who push particular approaches to dealing with trolls aggressively, either by being too quick to delete and hat stuff, or by being too willing to criticize other regulars. ] (]) 22:19, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
	::::Aye, the conflation of problems is itself a problem! It's become very hard to even discuss just one issue, with out lots of other, sometimes ancient, sometimes personal stuff being brought up. Like some dated sitcom stereotype of an old married couple. Anyway, I just threw this together , happy to see what you might add.

	Hi,
	I recently created the page "Cristina Lafont", and had saved it before I was done to have a first cursory look to check whether my grasp of the code was sufficient to warrant going on as before. Naturally, and correctly, the saved fragment was rejected because the page was missing references to education and publications of Cristina Lafont at that point. In the meantime (in fact, immediately afterwards), I added these and was wondering whether you could give me an update on whether the page is now acceptable.

	<!-- Start of message -->
	In regards to your message on my Talk Page about my article submission of Nicolo Schiro. I created the Nicolo Schiro (gangster) title from my sandbox. This is my first article submission. After I submitted it, I saw that it was only one of a couple of the articles for creation on the list from the user sandbox out of a few hundred. So I thought I had to create a draft article name from my sandbox. I gave it the name Nicolo Schiro (gangster) because there already is an ] with that name about an Italian race car driver. ] (]) 04:27, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

	:::They are variations in spelling of the same name, like Catherine and Katherine or Steven and Stephen in English. But since the gangster never went by the spelling Niccolo, I would say they are not equivalent. But if there is no disambiguation, then a hatnote would be needed at the top for people trying to locate the race car driver's page. I didn't think of it while drafting but Schiro, the gangster, sometimes went by the first name variation Nicola instead, hence the nickname "Cola". I've made a note about that to the draft. The Nicolo Schiro spelling was what he used in official documents and is the spelling used in the sources I cited with the most information about him (Critchley and Warner). But some other sources (and articles on Misplaced Pages that mention him) use the Nicola spelling. ] (]) 18:56, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

	Hi Robert, I'm not sure which is the proper way to respond to the comment (please correct me if this is not the correct way), but I wanted to clarify that the business is Relios, Inc. and that's what I'd like the article title to be as well. It started off as a page for CPJ but it made more sense for the entry to be for Relios, Inc. so I checked with chat about restructuring the page and edited it to be about Relios, Inc. I tried to look up how to change the article name but it looked like that was something that was done after submitting (once again, please correct me if this is not correct and I'll change it).

	Geez, now I've got relatively uninvolved users making what seems like block threats against me on my talk page. Or maybe not, hard to say what's a veiled threat and what's a good faith warning. I've never seen the user before he showed up at the RFC, and never spoken to him. Can you check out my talk page (top boxes and recent changes) and tell me what you think? Am I right that it is a little strange for other people to stalk my talk page, hunting for IP/banned users, and then accusing me of SOAP when I noted my wishes and disagreement? I just thought you might be able to give me a quick sanity check. I was planning on staying out of the ref desk talk page for a while, but maybe I should plan on staying away from my talk page too? ] (]) 16:14, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
	:I have looked at your talk page and at its archive. I don't see any warnings or block threats. Please tell me when they were made and whether you deleted them. I agree that you have a right to ask other editors not to edit your talk page, and that FPAS, Elockid, and Johnuniq are wasting their time in tracking down the troll posts and deleting them from talk pages. First, I don't think that you need to stay away from your own talk page. Of the editors in question, the only administrator with whom you have tangled is FPAS. If FPAS blocks you because of anything at your talk page, short of actual personal attacks, FPAS will be desysopped. They have already been warned. (Never mind the fact that The Rambling Man thinks that FPAS is ArbCom-favored. That is nonsense. Both TRM and FPAS were warned.) Second, I see no need to stay away from the Reference Desk talk page. Just don't use it as a soapbox, and you haven't. I will add that, in my opinion, no one has been stalking your talk page. They have stalking the troll, and it took them to your talk page. They didn't help by removing troll posts. I would advise you to keep a log of any hostile behavior by FPAS. At some point, conduct at the Reference Desks will go to the ArbCom. You don't need to worry about that. FPAS and TRM, who have both been warned, do need to worry about that. ] (]) 17:28, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
	::I see that Elockid is an administrator, but he seems to be more reasonable than FPAS, and I wouldn't worry about being blocked by him.

	== The Reptilian Agenda ==
	Hi! I am responding to your message to me in regards to the reasons my page has so far been declined.
	Whilst i appreciate your concerns that you think i am trying to create the page for promotional purposes due the the fact that my username is the same as the page title, i can assure you this is not the case.
	This is my first account with Misplaced Pages, i have only ever used Misplaced Pages before as a reader.
	The reason i made this account in this name is because as a new user that has never done an article before, i did not know how things work here, and i chose a username the same as the article i intended to make the title, simply because i thought that was what you did.
	I am in no way affiliated with the people i am researching, have no financial interests, ect.
	If you can then advise me how i can solve this problem or change my username without having to close the account, create another one and then start the article all over again, i would be obliged, as i have no reason to be particular whatever my username is. It is not in anyway important to me that i call myself "the reptilian agenda". I simply did not want anything else other than "the reptilian agenda" displayed at the top of the article. I however after exploring the site now realise that your username does not have to be the same as the article you wish to submit.
	Regarding the lack of written sourcing, i feel i have sources for all other claims except from those claims that are spoken about in the video under the heading "criminal confessions". Obviously the claims were made, however the claims were made as verbal confessions and stories spoken.
	I am actually surprised that i cannot find anything in writing on the internet regarding most of those confessions, i can only suggest that this is due to the fact that the video has been viewed only really by fellow followers of David Icke and Credo Mutwa, who rate their guru's extremely highly and dont really wish to make articles that dont do their gurus any favours.
	This was actually one of the reasons i wanted to get something up on the internet and bring some light to those confessions.
	If Credo Mutwa were a British citizen living in the western world then this would certainly be something would have been picked up on and i imagine would have been publically scrutinised in the papers.
	There are however plenty mentions of his confessions on youtube videos, internet forums ect, but i know those are not adequate sources.
	So can you please advise me how if possible i can get sourced what Credo Mutwa verbally confesses to during the documentary with David Icke without infringing on copyright grounds and legally put into written words what he confessed in the video?

	Dear reviewer,
	Thank you for taking time to look over my submission. This is a page for Frank Garvan, mathematician, who is a prominent figure in modern number theory. Most famously, Garvan is responsible for co-discovering the crank function in partition theory, which is a big deal and a widely praised discovery made with George Andrews (the preeminent number theorist of our era), who was Garvan's PhD advisor.
	Note that "crank of a partition" has its own Misplaced Pages page (https://en.wikipedia.org/Crank_of_a_partition) and Garvan is credited on that page.
	I added a reference from an article by Richard Askey, another towering figure in modern mathematics, detailing Garvan's role in the discovery of the crank function. I do not know Garvan personally, and provided the best references I could to show his importance. I hope this is adequate; I believe it is vital that Garvan should have his own Wiki as he is an important figure in recent mathematics history, whose work is the subject of great interest for other researchers in the field.
	Sincerely,

	Mr McClenon maintains that there is proven evidence of black holes. Such is not true, but very concentrated big masses obviously do exist. Note that near a black hole time stops, which contradicts fast processes around the Big Bang.

Mr McClenon should read Yanchilin's book instead of adhering to a proven wrong theory, namely the general theory of relativity on which black holes, negative energy, accellerated expansion of the universe, inflation rest. Remark that potential is a scalar and adds, thus causing its delta positive in the denominator of the formula for an interval.

	]'''Did you know?'''
	<div class="thumbcaption" style="font-size: 90%;">
	Among experienced editors, the visual editor's table editing is one of the most popular features. ]If you select the top of a column or the end of a row, you can quickly insert and remove columns and rows.
	Now, you can also rearrange columns and rows. Click "Move before" or "Move after" to swap the column or row with its neighbor.
	You can read and help translate ], which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
	</div></div>
	Since the last newsletter, the ] has fixed many bugs. Their workboard is available ]. Their ] are improving support for Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Indic, and Han scripts, and improving the single edit tab interface.
	=== Recent changes ===
	You can '''switch from the wikitext editor to the visual editor''' after you start editing. This function is available to nearly all editors at most wikis except the Wiktionaries and Wikisources.
	Many local '''feedback pages''' for the visual editor have been redirected to ].
	You can now re-arrange columns and rows in '''tables''', as well as copying a row, column or any other selection of cells and pasting it in a new location.
	The '''formula editor''' has two options: you can choose "Quick edit" to see and change only the LaTeX code, or "Edit" to use the full tool. The full tool offers immediate preview and an extensive list of symbols.
	=== Future changes ===
	The ''']''' project will combine the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" and "{{int:visualeditor-ca-editsource}}" tabs into a single "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab. This is similar to the system already used on the mobile website. (]) Initially, the "{{int:vector-view-edit}}" tab will open whichever editing environment you used last time. Your last editing choice will be stored as an account preference for logged-in editors, and as a cookie for logged-out users. Logged-in editors will have these options in the {{int:prefs-editing}} tab of ]:
	* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-remember-last}},
	* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-ve}},
	* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-prefer-wt}}, and
	* {{int:visualeditor-preference-tabs-multi-tab}}.  (This is the state for people using the visual editor now.)
	The visual editor uses the same search engine as ] to find links and files. This search will get better at detecting typos and spelling mistakes soon. These improvements to search will appear in the visual editor as well.
	The visual editor will be offered to all editors at most ] during the next few months. The developers would like to know how well the visual editor works in your language. They particularly want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at ]. This will affect the following languages: ],
	],
	],
	],
	],
	],
	],
	],
	],
	],
	],
	],
	] and others.
	=== Let's work together ===
	* Please try out the newest version of the ''']''' on ]. You may need to restore the default preferences (at the bottom of ]) to see the initial prompt for options. Were you able to find a preference setting that will work for your own editing? Did you see ] when you started editing an article there?
	* <mark>Can you read and type in Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Indic, or Han scripts?</mark> Language engineer ] needs help from people who often type in these languages. Please see the instructions at ] if you can help. Report your results on wiki (] – ] – ]).
	* Learn how to improve the "automagical" ] referencing system in the visual editor, by creating ] translators for popular sources in your language! Join the with Sebastian Karcher on 29 February 2016.
	If you aren't reading this in your favorite language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the ] or directly, so that we can notify you when the next issue is ready. Thanks!

	Hi Mr McClenon.
	Regarding your concerns of my article not being clear as to whether i am writing about the expression or a possible person.
	As a Scotsman i have known Jock McKay all my life. "Och aye Jock Mckay" is a real expression.
	I have only just thought to find out what the roots for this expression is, and i came across a Comedian called 'Jock McKay' from the 1930's. It would appear then that "Jock McKay" probably was infact a real historical person lost in time, and is a good candidate for where the expression originated. I guess this is what my article is about.

	==Registration==
	Yes, it's true that anyone can register to use WP. It's also true that any adult citizen can register to vote in TX, and anyone in TX can get a photo ID. However, because of a history of ] in the USA in general and TX in particular, the law in TX has been widely regarded as racist ''in effect'' . I personally believe that was also the ''intent'' of these laws, but the defense is that the ''letter'' of the law is not racist.
	Now, I'm not saying that this is completely analogous to WP registration, but I do believe that effectively banning IP users from the reference desks will end up discriminating against the young, the old, the less computer literate, and all the other "public library computer user" types of people. ] (]) 23:07, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

	Re: Sindhi Association of North America (SANA),
	Sir this is the largest community organization of Sindhi Diaspora in the world. It is 32 years old. It is a grass roots, membership based organization. It has been regularly holding largely attended conventions every year in US or Canadian cities plus numerous regional & chapter meetings. It has held several conventions & conferences in Sindh, Pakistan too.
	SANA is a vastly respected organization. It has played important role in human rights, democracy, women & minority rights, education, health & other fields. It is followed by thousands of followers on Facebook. One can easily search it on internet & check its credentials.
	References: All the references in media section (18 links) are from outside, independent sources. Most are from Pakistan's largest English language newspapers & some independent papers & blogs. There is a large reference material in Urdu & Sindhi media too that is not included here.
	The youtube channel link carrying hundreds of SANA videos does not belong to SANA. It is an independent channel.
	There are also two book references where SANA has been mentioned.
	Pl reconsider your decision. You may ask for any information.

	Hey Robert,
	This article is not a crystal ball, you can see ], each claimant of Mahdi has a wikipage. We found that Muhammad Shakeel bin Hanif of India has claimed to be Mahdi. Whatever articles we found of him online, many of them were in ], tried to get as many information about him from these articles. His teaching basically revolved around condition on his arrival this is what we found, hence that was detailed in the wiki, from his book (ISLAMIAT SCIENCE AUR... NAZARAYAT) published locally. Soon we will include his name in ] page when a wiki article on his name is launched. The article has been written with neutral approach, any word or sentence which affects the neutrality can be edited or removed. The purpose of article creation is to let people know about this new mahdi claimant along with other mahdi claimants(each one of them has wiki article already created).

	You've declined my article about the coat of arms of Enkhuizen. One of your reasons was the rarity of having just one supporter. As you know it is a Dutch coat of arms, and in the Netherlands having one supporter isn't that rare. There are litteraly hundreds of coats of arms of both former and current municipalities with just one supporter. I'll try to ad at least one more source (a book: ''De gemeentewapens van Nederland'', 1968, by Kl. Sierksma), and maybe I'll ad as well. Would that be sufficient enough?

			== DRN ==
	Hello Robert,
			Hi Robert, hope you’re doing well. Letting you know that I’ve returned to Misplaced Pages and I’ll be doing some bits and pieces over at DRN from time to time. I’ve seen a thread about DRN and its effectiveness (closed, since October last year) but it raises some good points that I think should be considered, as our DR processes have changed since I first created DRN 12 years ago. I’d be keen to hear your thoughts too. Speak soon, <span style="font-family:Verdana">] ] <sup>]</sup></span> 18:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
	I was just tidying up the Neil Shen bio article that you reviewed in AfC. It still has issues, but that is not why I visited, nor am I complaining about it. Afterward, I glanced at your user talk page, and the first thing I saw, prior to the enumerated headings, was this:
			:Greetings, ]. I will provide some thoughts about dispute resolution within the next 48 to 72 hours. ] (]) 05:58, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
			===Some Thoughts on DRN===
			You, ], refer to a thread on the effectiveness of ] that has been closed since October. I assume that you mean a thread at ] that was in August, and, two months later, in October, the originator withdrew it. I completely missed it in August, because I wasn't watching the DRN talk page at the time. I probably wouldn't have said anything in defense of the continued existence of DRN that would have added to what was said. The originator provided some interesting statistics, and I think in good faith missed the point in a few ways. He overestimated the community time that was lost on the misplaced filings. More importantly, he assumed that the filers of the misplaced filings would have somehow found more constructive solutions on their own, when we know that many editors, especially new editors, don't have a clue what to do about a dispute, and can use advice, and he failed to attach value to having a place for volunteers to give advice. I think that one effect of a proposed shutdown of DRN that was not mentioned is that more disputes would go to ] as a place of first resort, if DRN was eliminated as a place of first resort. Some of those disputes might then go to article talk pages, Wikiprojects, or RFCs, but there would be hard feelings from the ] thread. I don't think that the originator thought his idea through.
	"Thanks for being so rude and harsh. I am surprised how could you be so adamant with a person like me who is not visually competent. I just wanted the world to know that my book is a result of endless hardwork. I am not trying to advertise my book in any way. Neighter i am looking up any kind of sympathy. I gave up my government job because i couldnt see. I am not begging for anything. I dont understand why you are not able to understand my feeling. Once again thanks..."
			I think that one change to DRN could be to recognize that it has at least two functions in dispute resolution. The first should be as a help desk for advice and possibly quick assistance in answering where to take disputes. The second would be for mediation. The current description of DRN is that it is an informal place that is an early stop in disputes. What other than RFC, ], and ArbCom are later stops? When DRN was established, there was MEDCOM. Was there also MEDCAB, or did DRN follow the dissolution of MEDCAB?
	Perhaps you intended to leave that there, but just in case you didn't, I wanted to let you know about it. It is so petulant that I laughed a little. Keep up the good work as an editor here!
			Some of the disputes that we listed as closed because they belonged somewhere else may be successes if we think that directing a user to the right place is a success.
	--] (]) 05:27, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
			What else did you have in mind as the changes that you say there have been in dispute resolution since DRN was created?

	Hi! I appreciate you reviewing our page. Could you give me a little more information about what other sources I need to show notability? I have submitted my article a few times with a variety of third party sources, but I don't understand why that don't count as "significant coverage." "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material. "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent. We have listed sources that meet these requirements. Please identify those that do not meet these requirements. And please let me know which types of articles I can include that will boost Highfive's notability. Thanks!

	== Die Geister, die ich rief ... ==
	Hello Robert,
	In many discussions there is sometimes the belief that the more participants the more secured are the conclusions. On the other hand some people says ''The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter''. Misplaced Pages has chose a middle way, all are invited to discuss, but at the end there is no voting.
	I have worked in the article for years, and there is no deficit of editors. Take the case of editor {{U|Eduardo Eddy Ramirez}} (if words could kill I were dead!), it was a ] or editor {{U|Darkness Shines}}, who tried to introduce a psychology magazine as reliable source to prove the date of the beginning of the war. There are a lot of editors like Arafael, Rasdar, and other scientists and historians who have tried to rewrite the history of the war. I think you don't need them. What we need are good Misplaced Pages editors ready to investigate, understand and to describe the war according reliable sources and with a NPOV. Ask yourself: why do fear two academic editors to represent their knowledge before the mediation committee? I don't believe that my poor English proficiency is their reason to fear the questions of the tribunal.
	The true reason, IMHO, is that they have nothing to say. They have an ideology, they believe that the war MUST be explained in a way concordant with their views. But they don't find the sources to support the ideology in the current world, Sater, Pike, Basadre and all the others say another things. Therefore they protest against the English literature but they have never offered a explanation or a alternative text. They don't have reliable sources. Their only message is "the war wasn't so, it was different", but they are unable to say how. As replacement they have many personal attacks (you know now what I mean).
	If you have time, you will find Sater's work in . From page 37 to 43 (of the book, internet page 53) you will find the section '''Seeking the Origin of the War'''. They are 7 interesting pages. Read it and compare what I wrote in the article. Is W. Sater an authority in the issue? Yes, he is. He has wrote many books about the War of the Pacific. It is interesting that he don't have his own opinion, he revisited the opinion of multiple books and primary sources and relates the multiple causes of the war, what I have tried to reproduce in the article.
	So, the title of the section is an reflection of Goethe's Der Zaubelehrling (The Sorcerer's Apprentice). The lines in which the apprentice implores the returning sorcerer to help him with the mess he has created have turned into a cliché, especially the line Die Geister, die ich rief ("The spirits that I called"), a garbled version of one of Goethe's lines, which is often used to describe a situation where somebody summons help or uses allies that he cannot control, especially in politics. --<span style="font-family:times; text-shadow: 0 0 .2em #7af">] <small>(])</small></span> 00:38, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

	Hello,
	Per your comments on my draft, i would like to point out my referances to reliable independed sources such as:
	* Rapaport (diamonds.net) which is:
	- The primary source of diamond price information
	- online news and market analysis
	- The world’s largest diamond trading network with over $7 billion of daily listings
	* wikipedia itself has referance to NIRU on de beers 'Sight Holder' value (https://en.wikipedia.org/Sightholder)
	* Debeers group- world’s leading diamond company
	* The Israel Diamond Institute- represents all organizations and institutions involved in Israel’s diamond industry.
	I wrote the article as non-comersialized as possible so you would not consider it as marketing purpose. if you think that a specific part is marketing oriented- please point it out and I will fix it accordingly.
	In conclustion, I think that NIRU Group is noteable due to its great acchivments and its presanse in the diamond world.
	I hope that you can reconsider.

	How do you get 9 "no" and 3 "yes" "!votes" to a "rough consensus" for yes? You need to provide a much better rationale for that decision for me not to take that closure to review. Your current rationale sounds like it is simply your own position. Rough consensus can be claimed by administrators citing a policy reason, not simply by a "idontlikeit" argument favoring such a small minority view.] · ] 19:16, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

	:::I moved it back, I dont think it is a good precedent to move discussions about your own actions between fora.

If you did not mean to overrule the majority, I think you should revert your closure yourself. If you meant to express you agreement with the minority viewpoint that would also be an option. And if you believe the arguments of the majority are invalid and can be disregarded per WP:ROUGHCONSENSUS you should argue why.] · ] 21:36, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

	== Draft on Extended Mathematical Programming (EMP) ==
	Hi Robert,
	You have asked whether there exist any textbooks that describe EMP and GAMS.
	People who want to learn about GAMS typically first turn to the GAMS User's Guide (there is a a book and an online version ). The User's Guide has a chapter on Stochastic Programming with EMP . The non-stochastic parts of EMP, the keywords and how to use them are described as part of the JAMS solver manual. This is available online and as a chapter of the book on GAMS compatible solvers .
	There are several application specific text book like publications on GAMS. They include nonlinear programming with GAMS , mathematical programming models in engineering and science with GAMS , practical financial optimization with GAMS .
	The book from Gabriel et al. referenced in the article is a mixture of textbook and review and it recommends EMP for solving Variational Inequalities. The article from Grossmann referenced in the article is a review and names EMP in conjunction with LOGMIP as the only solution technology for disjunctive programs that model sequencing problems.
	I hope this answers your question.

	== Advice for AfC ==
	Hi Robert, as you may have noticed, I have recently gotten into reviewing AfC submissions. I have a few questions i wanted to ask.
	What is the best way to figure out what are the best categories and Wikiprojsects to add to articles?
	When reviewing articles, I have a pretty good idea of the guidelines, but obviously nowhere near what you and some of the others have, how bold should I be when making decisions?
	Is there a list somewhere of what constitutes a reliable source and what doesn't? I've just been using my best judgment but have been caught off guard a couple times by other reviewer comments. Example: one of the other reviewrs said that the Daily Mail wasn't a reliable source, and i hadn't known that (nor known where to find that information).
	I've taken a habit of just reviewing the "easy ones" where the decision is pretty clear cut, but I'm not sure how much help this is really. Am I better off leaving it to the more experienced reviewers?
	Any tips or recommendations would be great. <span style="font-family:monospace;background:lightgrey;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;"> ''''']]]''''' </span> 00:06, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

	I'm not Roger. I'm Robert. Roger is a different experienced editor. ] (]) 02:59, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
	I don't know a good way to add categories and Wikiprojects. I guess, and then let New Page Patrol be the next step possibly. As a result, some articles are undercategorized or unprojected. Maybe we should ask for general advice n that objective at ] or ]. ] (]) 02:59, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
	As to what is a reliable source, my rule is that if it looks like a newspaper and it isn't associated with the subject, it probably is reliable, but I do try to look for at least one source that is largely than local. If an article appears to be supported by multiple independent sources, my usual rule is to accept it. I am not particularly bold in that respect, I do often enough leave an article to other reviewers. ] (]) 02:59, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
	Unfortunately, most drafts are either inherently not notable, or not ready for mainspace. ] (]) 02:59, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
	I have a few rules that will always cause me to decline a draft. First, if it doesn't have a proper ], I decline it. Second, if it includes any ] in the article body, I decline it. Third, if it has even a little ] language, I decline it. Those are easy. Fourth, if it was previously declined and the changes haven't materially addressed the review, I decline it. Fifth, if it uses the second person plural pronoun "we", I decline it and tag it for speedy deletion. Sixth, if the author and the subject are the same, I almost always decline it if it is of a person, and always decline it if it is of a company, and then consider reporting the username. ] (]) 02:59, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
	There are also a few drafts that any reviewer has to decline, such as test edits. The only question, which doesn't really matter, is what reason to use. ] (]) 02:59, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
	Unfortunately, most drafts will never make it into mainspace. Either they aren't notable, or the author doesn't have the skills to write the article. ] (]) 02:59, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

	Hi. You did get that wron I believe. I thought youwere going to reopen it or change your close, would you please do one of those? Thanks. ] ] 07:02, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
	:Okay, ] - It was already reopened, and has now been closed to retain the double wording of the lede. It was complicated by one user who meant well, and one user who didn't mean well in that they insisted on thinking that I didn't mean well. Maunus appeared to be interesting in insisting that I had closed in bad faith, which is why they wanted to discuss at ]. I tried to request closure review at ], and they took exception because they wanted to discuss a bad faith close, when everyone else saw it as the close of a confusingly worded RFC. BMK then decided to close at ] by saying that it was going around at ], which left only the ANI thread running, and it was then closed. It appears that KrakatoaKatie finally closed it the other way. I wasn't going to take any further non-administrator action after there was someone ready to claim bad faith.

	:::::In my experience people who have made good faith mistakes, simply correct them when it is pointed out. You could also look at how your closing "rationale" strongly suggested bad faith 1. by citing "WP:roughconsensus" which suggested that you knew you were siding with the minority argument and intentionally overrided the majority, and 2. by stating bluntly in your rationale your personal agreement with the "yes" argument (which you summarized correctly showing that you did indeed understand it) was correct. Those were two bad moves that you probably want to avoid in the future when you close discussions, especially if at the same time you dont read the arguments made by the editors who commented.

Manchester, Calgary

1. Yes, it is an officially recognized neighbourhood of Calgary, Alberta. Multiple official City of Calgary websites list it as such, which I will provide a few examples below: - Calgary Administrative Boundaries Map (make sure to enable the "Community Districts" layer) - Community Profiles (calgary.ca) (search for the page titled "Manchester") - Data (calgarypolice.ca) - Phase 4 REALIZE Chinook Communities Local Area Plan | Chinook Communities Local Area Planning | Engage (calgary.ca)
2. As far as I am aware, Alyth/Bonnybrook/Manchester was a former community that consists of the modern day Calgary industrial communities of Alyth/Bonnybrook, Burns Industrial, Highfield Industrial, and Manchester Industrial. It was disambiguated sometime around 2006 into the modern day communities I listed. Manchester Industrial is an official community of it's own separate from Manchester or Alyth/Bonnybrook (being the industrial areas that surround Manchester), but is not the focus of the draft article.

Hi Robert,

I noticed this edit, where you made a table by hand to do a WP:NCORP source analysis. If you are interested, there is User:Red-tailed hawk/SATG CORP.js, a userscript that can help with generating these sorts of tables.

— Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:46, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, User:Red-tailed hawk, but I don't do that by hand. It only looks like I do it by hand. I do it in an Excel spreadsheet, and then use the Excel2wiki gadget: . I will take a quick look, but I will probably continue to use the Excel2wiki gadget. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:56, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Ah! Well, in that case, my apologies for the intrusion. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:59, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

No problem, User:Red-tailed hawk. Now we both know that there are at least two ways to simplify developing a cleanly formatted source analysis table. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:04, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

DRN on face masks... it's like stuck pixels. Also I need a break.

• sigh* I don't know how I couldn't have seen this sooner. After reading the post from Retraction Watch, as well as a few papers... that mislink is like a freaking stuck pixel. And... of course... there's no consensus on what to do whenever this happens. I mean, how do people react to stuck pixels.

Which, like the occasional defective monitor that comes out of the factory, science is going to have the occasional misrepresented source. The question is whether it's just an accident or indicative of something else (like The Bell Curve).

If I ever come back to this, I think it might be worth going to a village pump, since it's likely multiple policies are going to be affected. In the meantime, I'd like to take a bit of a break and close this DRN. Reason: I just read the latest CIDRAP headline. Combined with some climate news I'm reading, as well as my other work, I think it might be prudent for my sanity to put this on ice.

I'll leave it up to you and others whether to close or suspend it. ⸺(Random)staplers 05:20, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Big Ben move review

I just wanted to let you know that your comment at the Big Ben move review (not DRV) came across as personal. It makes no odds to me whether you endorse the closure or not, that's entirely your own prerogative. However, comments are supposed to be policy-based and focus on the reason for closure and instead you've implied I'm wasting everyone's time.

I opened the discussion in good faith and I opened the move review in good faith, not to waste editor time. A.D.Hope (talk) 00:41, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Faults and Shear Structures of The Bushveld Igneous Complex

Thanks for your review and comments relating to the draft “Faults and Shear Structures of The Bushveld Igneous Complex”. The draft was written purposely to be included into the Bushveld Lemma and I reviewwed and edited the draft before submission. I incorporated this student’s work into https://en.wikipedia.org/Bushveld_Igneous_Complex now. You might want to review now and, if necessary, make it correct Wikipedan style. Thanks.

Daria Lodikova

Greetings, Robert. I note that you sent this article to AfD last year at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Daria Lodikova. It was draftified but the author moved it back shortly after, without much apparent improvement. Do you believe that the current version of this article addresses the issues that led you to sending this to AfD last year? Spiderone 22:19, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

User:Spiderone - Yes. I nominated it for AFD because it only had one source, which did not establish general notability, and the article did not satisfy the presumption of tennis notability. The originator has added multiple sources. I haven't analyzed the sources and am not planning to analyze the sources, but the sources very likely do establish general notability. I wanted it sent to draft space to improve the sourcing, and the sourcing appears to have been improved. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:46, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

No problem at all. Sounds like it served its purpose. Spiderone 10:51, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Saving Grace (Philippine TV series)

How is still considered too soon if the series will release next week on Prime Video.

It will release next week. It hasn't been reviewed. Notability is based on significant coverage by reliable sources, such as reviews. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:53, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Now, that is starting to make sense. I was going to ask that IP user about when it is ready for resubmission, and I'm the one who created the draft article. So, we need to wait until after the show airs next week to resubmit the draft article for review, and we have to provide additional reliable sources besides ABS-CBN, which is considered an original research, as references when expanding the article before that. JRGuevarra (talk) 04:13, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

It will be hard because there are times a series or a movie is out but only ABS-CBN is the only source not a lot of additional sources. It's only often you get these addtional sources. :( 122.55.235.127 (talk) 06:25, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Palestine-Israel articles 5 updates

You are receiving this message because you are on the update list for Palestine-Israel articles 5. The drafters note that the scope of the case was somewhat unclear, and clarify that the scope is The interaction of named parties in the WP:PIA topic area and examination of the WP:AE process that led to two referrals to WP:ARCA. Because this was unclear, two changes are being made:

First, the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days, until 23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC). Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on the evidence talk page, providing a reason with WP:DIFFS as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective.

Second, the evidence phase has been extended by a week, and will now close at 23:59, 21 December 2024 (UTC). For the Arbitration Committee, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Robert McClenon. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "New Horizon".

In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you, User:Liz - This was even sillier than many of the G13 messages that I get. The G13 messages are often because I disambiguated a draft, which creates a redirect of which I am the creator.

Dealing someone's personal attack in edit summary

Hi there Robert, I found this discussion you open a decade ago and I just want to get some advise on how you deal it because I'm having the same situation. See their recent contributions. 𝙳.𝟷𝟾𝚝𝚑 (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔) 03:49, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

You also did this to me a few months ago, you're joke with your summary but i never complaint to anybody. Oh my god. Aidillia 04:03, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

User:D.18th, User:Aidillia - Please discuss your issues in a civil manner. It appears that there is an issue about a K-pop group. I don't see a personal attack, although maybe I missed it. Be aware that personal attacks in edit summaries are even more serious than personal attacks on talk pages, because they can only be deleted by admins. What is the issue? Robert McClenon (talk) 04:28, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I created this redirect page of an upcoming group then the other user created a draft of it then suddenly edited and copy paste the contents from their draft to the redirect page I created then published it after that they moved it to other space in WP to have ownership of content. 𝙳.𝟷𝟾𝚝𝚑 (𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚔) 04:49, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

User:D.18th, User:Aidillia - This sounds childish. There is now a redirect from Close Your Eyes (group) to Project 7. There is also a draft at Draft:Close Your Eyes (group). The draft is not ready for article space, and both of you can work on improving it. When will the band first either perform and be reviewed or release an album or single that will chart? You can both collaborate. If there is any more quarreling, I may have to file a report at WP:ANI, which might result in both of you getting logged warnings or short blocks. If you don't have a different idea for how to divide the labor, each of you can research the history of some of the band members. Misplaced Pages is big enough for both of you.

Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2024 December 27#Clock/calendar

Your bludgeoning accusation to me at the DRV for Clock/calendar is a bit off-topic so I'm responding at your talk page. I really don't like repeating myself, but I did so in response to your comment because you mentioned It isn't clear what if anything the appellant wants to change in the outcome. That was a very confusing comment to me because I felt that I had been very clear in that regard. So I succinctly explained what needs to change in this outcome for your own clarity (along with addressing the red herring policy forum suggestion). That you followed it up with accusations of bludgeoning is perhaps even more confounding. I disagree that I am making a very high number of comments and making the same arguments over and over again. Bludgeoners always have to have the last word, which is not an accurate portrayal of my participation. In fact, Compassionate727 got the last word in both of my other responses. So I now ask you: please explain from your point of view how I am bludgeoning or withdraw your accusation. -- Tavix 16:43, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

DRN

Hi Robert, hope you’re doing well. Letting you know that I’ve returned to Misplaced Pages and I’ll be doing some bits and pieces over at DRN from time to time. I’ve seen a thread about DRN and its effectiveness (closed, since October last year) but it raises some good points that I think should be considered, as our DR processes have changed since I first created DRN 12 years ago. I’d be keen to hear your thoughts too. Speak soon, Steven Crossin 18:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Greetings, User:Steven Crossin. I will provide some thoughts about dispute resolution within the next 48 to 72 hours. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:58, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Some Thoughts on DRN

You, User:Steven Crossin, refer to a thread on the effectiveness of DRN that has been closed since October. I assume that you mean a thread at the DRN talk page that was in August, and, two months later, in October, the originator withdrew it. I completely missed it in August, because I wasn't watching the DRN talk page at the time. I probably wouldn't have said anything in defense of the continued existence of DRN that would have added to what was said. The originator provided some interesting statistics, and I think in good faith missed the point in a few ways. He overestimated the community time that was lost on the misplaced filings. More importantly, he assumed that the filers of the misplaced filings would have somehow found more constructive solutions on their own, when we know that many editors, especially new editors, don't have a clue what to do about a dispute, and can use advice, and he failed to attach value to having a place for volunteers to give advice. I think that one effect of a proposed shutdown of DRN that was not mentioned is that more disputes would go to WP:ANI as a place of first resort, if DRN was eliminated as a place of first resort. Some of those disputes might then go to article talk pages, Wikiprojects, or RFCs, but there would be hard feelings from the WP:ANI thread. I don't think that the originator thought his idea through.

I think that one change to DRN could be to recognize that it has at least two functions in dispute resolution. The first should be as a help desk for advice and possibly quick assistance in answering where to take disputes. The second would be for mediation. The current description of DRN is that it is an informal place that is an early stop in disputes. What other than RFC, WP:ANI, and ArbCom are later stops? When DRN was established, there was MEDCOM. Was there also MEDCAB, or did DRN follow the dissolution of MEDCAB?

Some of the disputes that we listed as closed because they belonged somewhere else may be successes if we think that directing a user to the right place is a success.

What else did you have in mind as the changes that you say there have been in dispute resolution since DRN was created?

I will have more comments, but I think that I should post these now so as to ask you to explain which changes in dispute resolution you were thinking about, and whether you have any specific ideas. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

	This cool penny
	Thank you for all the work you do at DRN. Here's a penny portraying King Offa of Mercia as a donation. Tarlby 00:17, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
