Businessofcinema.com Notability Links
Hi Sarah
I just noticed you deleted the page I created for Businessofcinema.com for lack of notability sources.
Here's a link to a few notable sources that I have been able to gather. If they are alright with you then I'll go back and recreate the page. Thanks!

Some notes on Template:Wikify
How do we contact you for the Bay Area Photo Hunt ?
Sarah, I've been a Wikipedian for a while, have had an account for only a couple of year, but all I've ever done is edit; I don't know how to contact another user. So I'm sure that what I'm doing here is totally wrong, but I can't discover any other way of contacting you.
I'm interested in participating in the Bay Area Photo Hunt, but you don't have a page set up yet, so far as I can tell. How can people join in? (I live in Berkeley.)
Thanks!

- Me too! I could be bold and just create the Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Takes America/San Francisco page... but the template wants me to pick a specific date and place and so on. I suspect that inertia will make it hard to change whatever gets written down first, so I'd prefer that someone who knows what they're doing (meatspace-wise) be the one to choose the details. Anyway, if someone would ping my talk page when the event page has been created, I'll probably join in. --Quuxplusone (talk) 17:40, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hi there folks. Yes, I had to remove myself as the contact, as I am out of the country for a while during September and I'm a bit burnt out planning events (I'm often the person who does so, and well, I get a little burnt out!). Being out of town for two weeks of the month doesn't help. Perhaps folks should also ping User:Almonroth as he's been active in co-planning the national conference with me. I'm in the process of making the Califoria Historical Landmarks into tables, so that's my big contributions. I do encourage people to be bold - plan things in specific areas (we did an unofficial one in downtown Berkeley recently), road trips, etc. Sorry I can't help more :( If I'm lucky to attend one that someone else plans, awesome, though!

OK, will do. I generally let section edits default to the supplied summary, just out of laziness, but I see your point. Hgrosser (talk) 19:05, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Have you considered installing the Popup gadget (from the Gadgets page of your user preferences)? If you do, you just have to hover your mouse over the "(last)" link in an article's history to see what changes were made by this edit. Hgrosser (talk) 03:20, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Ping
Emailed you about a suggestion that might help editor retention and one of our basic problem areas. Dougweller (talk) 11:45, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Doug. I appreciate you reaching out. My focus area is women (i.e. I co-developed Teahouse and I'm working on another project that is actually specific towards women), and I am a fellow, so I don't have any major institutional influence at this time. Some good people to perhaps ping would maybe be at Misplaced Pages:Editor engagement. While you might see my face come up (because I worked on the Teahouse) I am not on the Editor Engagement team. Also, I encourage people who have great ideas for projects or outreach areas like this to apply for fellowship projects, too. I am a member of the WikiProject for editor retention I'm just pretty swamped with my own work and my own "personal time" on Misplaced Pages that I don't engage that might right now in the project (I work full time doing work about this, so it's a bit tiring to come home and also volunteer for it no matter how passionate I am about it!). Thanks for reaching out, and I'll also forward your email onto some folks at WMF! SarahStierch (talk) 17:27, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

However, you might be able to find someone through our adoption program. I'm glad you'd like to visit the Teahouse, you do not have to register, just simply stop by and visit the calls to action - you can make a profile or ask a question. Just stop by the Teahouse today and be bold! See you there! SarahStierch (talk) 17:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
WikiWomenCamp
Hi. Some one mentioned to me that you had co-opted the name of WikiWomenCamp with out talking to the community behind this. This... has irked a few people because it looks like a female driven community effort is being dismissed, our work dismissed, our efforts dismissed by some one who doesn't engage that community and point blank refuses to engage them. Given the general knowledge about attempts to co-opt RecentChangesCamp and do similar things, this adds more negative to this backdrop. It would be fantastic if the female global leadership inside the movement that exists outside the formal WMF heirarchy could have a better working relationship with you. Can you please get in touch with us through our mailing list and explain the name re-use? --LauraHale (talk) 22:01, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I am terribly sorry you're getting so much negative feedback on the Rfc. It is a request, you'd think the editors responding would appreciate that their input is being sought, but unfortunately several of them have been a little rude about it. This is unexpected to me - I expected opposes to the idea of the link, but not hostility that there is an Rfc! I did not anticipate you would be being put through this sort of hostility, and I am very sorry you are. You are handling it beautifully, though. KillerChihuahua 07:52, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks KC. I had to remove the page from my watchlist just to keep my blood pressure down! I guess that is what I get for being too passionate about all of this. Thanks for making the effort to do this - it was a really nice surprise, and I'm sorry that it's turned into some sour grapes situation. :( SarahStierch (talk) 20:38, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, that's worse than I feared! Please do not let a few rude people distress you. :-( After all, its just a few people who are being rude, and most of them make it clear by their posts they don't understand what is going on. Please do keep pointing them at me. I have no problem explaining the situation to them. KillerChihuahua 23:03, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Please Guide me to remove the Unreliable links
Hi Sarah,
Greetings!
Please guide me to remove the unreliable links or you yourself directly remove the unreliable sources on your own so that at least it can be published first. Whereas, in future, i will keep on adding more on it time to time.

Womanpower logo deletion
Sooo, I may have accidentally triggered a deletion discussion about the image used in the {{feminism sidebar}} template :-/ I'm getting Feminism in Russia reviewed for GAN, and, predictably, it's images that are holding it up. Anyway, I defer to your Commons expertise on this – if you can help save the image or add a new one to the (quite handy) navbar, that would be awesome. Thanks so much in advance! Accedie 19:10, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hey! Ok, I'm going to ping Kaldari, I think he might be a bit better to take this up (I'm strong in some areas of Commons-stuff, this one might not be one of those areas :) We'll get this sorted out! SarahStierch (talk) 19:17, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Help with Notability requirement
I have been trying to provide enough independent links verifying the information that I have included on the page I am attempting to create, however I am still having problems achieving your notability standards. Any advice would be appreciated.
re Review of Rethink Perfect
Hi Sarah I will see what I can do about getting some notable references. In the mean time can you look at the page and tell my how to remove that huge image on the page. It was not part of my original editing.
Strathmore University RFC
I just wanted to chat with you a bit on this one. I'm unsure of it's notability because there are a number of things that conflict with my American view of sports. I'd certainly say that an American University rugby team is generally not notable, but in this case, the team plays in the Kenya Cup which is the highest level of rugby in the country. It isn't professional though. So what do you think, is a non-professional team notable if it is the highest level of sport in the country? Ryan Vesey 03:37, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, sure. Anyone can remove a PROD - it's nothing I feel that strongly about, but it's a good way to get attention for people ot improve things. It surely needs reliable sources, which would surely help with the notability situation. SarahStierch (talk) 03:39, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- The league in itself is covered in Misplaced Pages with a whole article and the same case applies to the other teams that participate in that league. But if Misplaced Pages admins and other Misplaced Pages users still think that the topic is not notable by itself then I think it is wise for this article to seek refuge in the article on Strathmore University under sports. But IMO I think it should be a stand alone article. ₫ӓ₩₳ Talk to Me. Email Me. 04:32, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- What works for the community :) Probably best to have this conversation on the talk page of the article! (but I already took it off my watchlist ;D) SarahStierch (talk) 04:34, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Ways to improve 1982 Speedway National League
Thanks for creating 1982 Speedway National League, Rcclh!
Misplaced Pages editor SarahStierch has tagged the page as having some issues to fix. In addition, they wrote this note for you:
There is no lead, meaning the article has little to no context. What is this contest for?
The tags on the page can be removed by you or another editor when the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on SarahStierch's talk page.
Hello. I am attempting to fill in all the gaps with regard to British speedway history - some of the years were missing completely so i've just filled in the tables to start off. If you check my editing history you will see i am currently adding lead sections to pages that have none - i am up to 1956 - so i will eventually get around to writing one for 1982. thanks ...

Propose merging Category:Women academics to Category:Female academics
Hi,
I am not sure if I am at the right address (and hope this is not considered canvassing), but hope the following discussion is of interest to you and other Wikipedians whom you may know: Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_August_6#Category:Women_academics.
It appears that there is a large group of Wikipedians who do not see a negative undertone when attaching the word "female" (or "male" for that matter) to an occupation. Ottawahitech (talk) 19:42, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks! The latter part of your post is more canvas like - next time just state "there is a discussion taking place that might interest you about...(insert subject here) take a look here (link). I did chime in, and I shared it on a few WikiProjects. SarahStierch (talk) 19:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Dacor (kitchen appliances)
Hello, this is a response to your review of my article http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Dacor_(kitchen_appliances)&action=history
You stated the following "All sources appear to be unreliable. We need reliable sources - content from magazines, newspapers, television, etc., that isn't created by Dacor "
I understand now that the official website should not be referenced no matter how trivial the information is, so I've changed the two references which were 'created by Dacor' to other references. What other sources are 'unreliable' and why?
Also, I understand http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS , but I wonder why these pages have been accepted when they are dealing with the same issues, along with even less valid references:
http://en.wikipedia.org/Wolf_(brand)
http://en.wikipedia.org/Thermador
http://en.wikipedia.org/Viking_Range
http://en.wikipedia.org/Jenn-Air
http://en.wikipedia.org/Miele
All of the above pages have been accepted yet have the same issue. Now that this issue is fixed for Dacor, shouldn't the other pages be flagged? McGrupp (talk) 22:23, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hi there! First, thanks for bringing those articles to my attention. I have tagged them appropriately and even removed some content from them. Second, they were created after the WP:Articles for Creation project was created, or I assure you, they would have went through the same process as your article. Third, resources that use content created specifically by Dacor still aren't reliable (i.e. say your products are carried by Best Buy, and you cite the Best Buy "online shop" that sells your product - that is not reliable because it uses information provided by Dacor to Best Buy). If you do chose to use Dacor websites, you have to use it sparingly and in an extremely boring neutral manner that does not promote the product. If your product is notable enough, there is more likely press coverage of your products outside of your website. Also, blogs, Misplaced Pages - any website which the content is created by everyday consumers without citations generally is unreliable.
Again, I assure you, if those websites had went through the same process yours had, they'd be right where you are. Also, it's highly frowned upon for staff members to write their own articles, so please take that to note! Thanks again for contributing to Misplaced Pages, and I also encourage you to visit the Teahouse for further assistance! SarahStierch (talk) 22:33, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the quick response. I have made another change to what I believe should be a reliable site for both of the changes I made earlier (reference to the president of the company and the appliances Dacor makes). Can you please re-review, or let me know what other references might be holding this back from creation? McGrupp (talk) 22:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- Do you mind if I go in and make a few edits? I have some concerns about the language (a bit promotional in some areas). Let me know! p.s. do be sure to provide edit summaries - even when writing on talk pages :) Sometimes it allows people to avoid wasting time seeing what certain edits are (i.e. "did they make just a simple spelling fix or did they rewrite the whole article?) SarahStierch (talk) 23:06, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- Please, be my guest. McGrupp (talk) 23:16, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- I'm still getting used to editing. Sorry about that. Just added some < br >'s earlier to the links because it was hard to read. McGrupp (talk) 23:18, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with this. I just have a couple more questions, if you don't mind.
- Why can't I find the article using the search feature?
- Why don't the 'external' links show up? McGrupp (talk) 23:55, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hi McGrupp. You can find the article here Dacor (kitchen appliances) - I have added it to the disambiguation page for Dacor, too. (You have to put (kitchen appliances) after the name Dacor in the search box to find it). It'll take a few days for it to show up via Google, btw. The external links were being hidden by a template problem, I fixed it! Congrats :) (Do I get a free appliance now ;) hehehe..) SarahStierch (talk) 00:00, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- Dacor offers some product giveaways through their facebook page, though this is information that can't be on their wiki page, is that right? I suppose it would have to be talked about from a reliable source... Thanks for those changes! McGrupp (talk) 00:06, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Coal scrip neutrality
Hey there, the article coal scrip contains no original research. Its cited in Edkiins Coal Scrip Catalog. The monopoly was immeduate as a coal town typically is so remote, there were no other stores. So, I do not believe it to be a huge leap of logic to assert, they store, issuing the scrip, had a monopoly. Esspecially since, there were no other stores...Coal town guy (talk) 00:46, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Article deletion
I will appreciate if you could advise on why my proposed article on how to play the social game “Realm of Empires” was deleted... I understand it was a very basic article, but I think it is on a particular matter that may interest other readers of this publication. I still understand it won't win a Pulitzer, it has no reference since it is a primary source, and that the topic may seem shallow for some editors. Nevertheless, maybe the point of consideration may not be any of the ones listed above, but the fact that it is a novel article that addresses a topic that certain stratus of the reading population may be interested on. As well as the fact that Misplaced Pages is a publication originally intended to contain all sort of knowledge on all sort of things in life: both grave and simple.

New AfC reviewer
Hi there!
I'm new to the AfC Review process, but I'm plunging boldly forward into the work (since it seems to be so heavily backlogged!) Would you be so kind as to review some of my AfC comments and decisions, or point me in the right direction as to where to get some more pointers?
I did read the help section, including "When to decline an article" and "how to accept one..." anyway, any thoughts you might have would be appreciated.

Trolleybus demography
I have two notes regarding your acceptance of this AfC submission. (1) The article was uncategorised, an applicable category would have been Category:Trolleybuses. (2) You may not have seen this but the article contained two mislabeled references as shown here. One reference contained an orphan ref name tag with "Janes2010" (none of the main ref name tags were titled as such) rather than the correct "Janes2009" (you'll notice that there was a main ref name tag with this title). The second reference was also caused by a mislabeled ref name tag, rather than "murray-p65", all the references simply contained "murray". These errors were obviously not caused by you but I simply wanted to notify you. No worries, I have corrected these errors for you. It is essential that we scan AfC submissions thoroughly before accepting. Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 04:37, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

- Yup, I replied here User_talk:SarahStierch#Ping (I must have failed to provide a talkback, sorry, I have been sick so I blame my spaciness on my sickness), and forwarded your email to the appropriate staff members who will know how to handle the situations at hand - I was told that WMF has limited engagement in those areas for legal reasons, but it's above my head. I'm just a fellow who is focusing on one specific thing (women) and my fellowship is up in December...so perhaps I'm the wrong WMF person to ask! SarahStierch (talk) 18:14, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, that's great, should have looked earlier. I can't think how what I had in mind could be problematical legally though. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 18:17, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Stub tags and page triage
Hi Sarah here you added {{stub}} to an article which already had a specific stub tag. I was surprised to see it was done by an experienced editor like yourself, but we all have our moments. I've suggested on the Page Curation talk page that it would be good if the software could help people to avoid doing this! PamD 09:52, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

All the sources are genuine.
It's taken from Economic Times too then why?

Hey Sarah - Please guide me...
Hi Sarah-
I saw that you recently nominated an article I started about Robert Loughan for deletion. I actually wasn't planning on moving it to the live Wiki site because I wanted to add more content; I think I messed up when when i thought I was moving it to a save for me to keep working on from my sandbox.
One of my teachers turned me on to Rob Loughan and I was sad to not find a wiki for him so I started it. I would love to continue working on it in my sandbox in order to really prove that he is an appropriate subject of an article. What he does in business is very news and noteworthy.
Anyway... I would be grateful if you could guide me as to how to move it back to my sandbox and then when I really have a piece that I'm proud of and does him justice, show it to you before trying to make it live again.
Can you guide me?? I am trying hard to be a welcome member of Wiki world and I try and focus on subjects I admire and I know other people appreciate as well

- So I've been taking a look and I'm finding a decent number of sources that mention Rob Loughan, but they are normally talking about Dexterra. Perhaps it would be better to create an article on the company. Ryan Vesey 19:33, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you Ryan! Only thing is, what interested me about Loughan was the sale of Octane which from what I could find was among the biggest in the history of software companies like that (3.2 billion) and that he created BaldFace, which sounds like coolest place ever. I think it is what he's done since that makes the article relevant to readers. BUT I am here to learn and grow. Can you explain a bit more on how best to approach my goal of honoring a innovative and inspirational business person? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CharlesleChien (talk • contribs) 21:44, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hey CharlesleChien, sorry for the slow reply. I've got one for you, but I'm waiting on a bit of a clarification from another editor first. She appears to be off for the night, but I should be able to get back to you within 24 hours. Ryan Vesey 23:47, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks Ryan! You rock! — Preceding unsigned comment added by CharlesleChien (talk • contribs) 00:07, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
