Pseudo awards and pseudo awards as sources
I stumbled upon Content Analyst Company and see that the article mentions the KMWorld Magazine's awards a lot. Both as a honor and as a references. As i understands it, so is the "KM World Magazine's '100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management 20xx" something that is issued to every company that pays for a booth at one of the Information Today Inc ( the owners of KMWorld Magazine's ) trade show.
I think this is a little fishy, and the "award" is basically a self published source. Does Misplaced Pages have any polesyst regarding this? Runarb (talk) 14:49, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
- That's a really interesting question. So, to my knowledge, we don't have any policy setting out what exactly makes an award worth factoring into notability. With companies, WP:ORG suggests awards aren't really a factor at all - so in this case we can essentially treat the award as a reference, and therefore insist it meets the standards we require for notability-based-on-referencing.
- I'd agree it fails the independence test set out here, not necessarily due to being "self-published" (strictly-speaking, it's not self-published) but because of the line that requires the originator of the source to "have actually considered the company, corporation, product or service notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial, non-routine works that focus upon it." (italics mine). If the considering constitutes "making sure the credit card payment went through", that probably doesn't count :). Ironholds (talk) 16:19, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
- I wish we had guidelines about even mentioning awards in articles as there are a load of bogus ones out there. But I saw this because I was wondering if you have any interest in paid editors. If you do, you might want to look at the bottom of my talk page as you gave the editor mentioned there a star. Take a look at the history of his talk page.

- Oh dear :(. How did I miss the spam in that thing? I must be getting old (or, more likely, tired). I've tried to remove the worst of it. Ironholds (talk) 15:56, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello Ironholds, Miss Bono has given you an lovely bat, to wish you a Happy Halloween! You see, these things promote WikiLove and hopefully this has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else an Irish Leprechaun! Enjoy! |

- Thanks! I do indeed, although I didn't get to make a proper costume this year. Hope yours is going well too! Ironholds (talk) 16:54, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
- Forgot to wish happy Halloween, though I am here for something else...--Mishae (talk) 05:48, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, we don't celebrate Halloween, I wish, tough. I would be dressed up as a female version of The Fly... or maybe as Ali Hewson... :D Miss Bono 15:33, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- who is Ali Hewson?--Mishae (talk) 15:37, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Mishae, she is Bono's wife. Miss Bono 15:48, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for explanation. Wondering: Does it makes you a daughter of his?--Mishae (talk) 15:54, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Mishae No problem at all and no, I am not Bono's daughter, and I wouldn't want to either, since I am in love with the man. :D What did you think that? Miss Bono 15:57, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Well, the reason why I taught so is just by your username, plus, Misplaced Pages have quite a few famous Wikipedians (not to mention I just welcomed one, turned out to be a notable Mexican sculptor).--Mishae (talk) 16:01, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

- Thanks for explanation. Wondering: Does it makes you a daughter of his?--Mishae (talk) 15:54, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Well, no, I am not related to Bono. If I would, I couldn't edit U2 related articles, since that'd be WP:COI. Miss Bono 16:04, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- What are U2 articles?--Mishae (talk) 16:14, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Articles about the band U2. Ironholds (talk) 16:49, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, I had replied Mishae on his talk page, since I thought yours was not the best place to talk about this. By the way, I haven't heard anything else on Ali H. for FA, does that mean that it was rejected? Miss Bono 16:53, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Barnstars
...Just today, a user have thanked me for writing a biography on her (a user is apparently notable), and gave me a Tireless Contributor barnstar, though I like it, I am still confused; Am I allowed to display it, considering that the current barnstar is probably given to people who write zillions of stubs (i.e. One that was awarded to me by Nortrhamerica1000 back in 2011 for creating many articles related to biology)... If I am wrong, let me know (I personally don't know which barnstar is awarded to users who create a special article (not to mention that all articles are special nevertheless)) :).--Mishae (talk) 05:48, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Sure; if you've been awarded it, you can display it. Whether you want to or not is entirely up to you. Ironholds (talk) 16:48, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
