Hi Everymorning! If you have access to University of Alabama resources, could you help by improving the references in the article Helen E. Haines? It was created by someone at your university but for two important references it only gives URLs, and these URLs aren't accessible to non-students. If you could fill these in with title, author, publisher/journal, date, etc., that would be great. Thanks in advance! Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:25, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Hey, Everymorning... I undid this edit of yours. I'm very happy to see that Astronautics hasn't totally left, and just edits quite sporadically these days. Cheers, Storkk (talk) 21:26, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I happen to have written a couple essays aimed at the apparent misunderstandings you showed at Talk:Homeopathy. They are WP:Fringe scapegoats and WP:Neutral and proportionate point of view. Or maybe I'm flogging them just because. In any case, feedback is welcome. Manul ~ talk 23:51, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I don't think this discussion about essays got enough discussion. To me, an essay is even more obvious and irritating than shameful promotion (especially when it includes an intro like, "my assignment was to..." etc.). What do you think about doing an RfC? I'd like to start one to get more feedback. —МандичкаYO 😜 01:11, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Kent Lai requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or an organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

On 15 August 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Clean Power Plan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Clean Power Plan is aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants in the United States by 32 percent by 2030, relative to 2005 levels? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Clean Power Plan. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hi, thanks for your addition to list of selfie-related injuries and deaths. As originally set out, the list was supposed to only cover serious injuries (and deaths), so I've reverted your addition for now, as the woman sustained only minor injuries which were treated more or less on site. If anything, I think the scope of the article should perhaps be tightened; the way it's set up now it allows including the injuries of bystanders, such as the girl that got flung off the train and survived - I'm not sure mention of these would necessarily need to be excluded if the scope were changed. FWIW, I am also aware that there was an exchange student who was reported as in some sources as being attacked while taking a selfie. The better sources instead reported her as posing for someone else taking a picture, so it doesn't qualify as a selfie. Hope this makes sense. Samsara 22:36, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for the edits. I am trying to link to a few other pages, is there a way I can message you for help on how to do this? I am not proficient yet with Wikipedia edits.
Thank you. If I want to add a newspaper article as a reference to an existing entry, how do you add the title of the article so it shows up as a link? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jg10101 (talk • contribs) 00:43, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. Another profile I am working on was tagged with the "this is an autobiography or extensively edited by the person" message. I have reviewed the article and I don't think it is biased. Is there a way to get the article re-evaluated, or otherwise have that embarrassing message removed? Jg10101 (talk) 01:31, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
Ok, thanks, your edits are good. How do we remove the "autobiography" tag? Likewise, when an article is tagged as being "not notable", what else can one do besides challenge it? I posted two *very notable* profiles and yet it seems like some users just want to flag anything that is new. What advise do you have?Jg10101 (talk) 01:46, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
yes, I mean speedy deletion. Typically how long does it take for someone to review it?Jg10101 (talk) 01:55, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Primefac (talk) 11:08, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
I see no reason to doubt the accuracy of his website, and that he's one of the 3 joint s Managing ed. of the Notable journal Annals of Combinatorics has excellent 3rd party support. "Managing editor" is sometimes ambiguous, but in this case, it's clearly ed. in chief. That meets WP:PROF. I don't see how its more promotional thanany other scientist bio.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Center for Indoor Air Research, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Philip Morris. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I want to nominate this for DYK, but the article is too poor. Also, nothing hooky from the article comes in my mind other than... the newsworthy material that will become... no longer newsworthy. Would you improve, so I can nominate it right away. --George Ho (talk) 15:44, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
On 22 August 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Takeshi Hirayama, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hi Everymorning,
I'm just wondering if you plan to finish the data for successful 2014 RfAs on your RfA study page. I found it very useful for data I'm collecting here, to give statistical backup for RfA reform efforts, but it only has a complete record for 2015. --Biblioworm 21:12, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello!
First, on behalf of WikiProject X, thank you for trying out the WikiProject X pilot projects. I would like to get some anonymous feedback from you on your experience using the new WikiProject layout and tools. This way, we will know what we did right, and if we did something horribly wrong, we can try to fix it. This feedback won't be associated with your username, so please be completely honest. We are determined to improve the experience of Wikipedians, and your feedback helps us with that. (You are also welcome to leave non-anonymous feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X.)
Please complete the survey here. The survey has two parts: the first part asks for your username, while the second part contains the survey questions. These two parts are stored separately, so your username will not be associated with your feedback. There are only nine questions and it should not take very long to complete. Once you complete the survey I will leave a handwritten note on your talk page as a token of my appreciation.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej (talk) 17:49, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
It would be polite to see the comments acknowledged and answered. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:09, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Everymorning, would you be open to posting some of these medical publications in the reference list on Boxer Wachler page? I think this would be important and makes sense to include them while the page is still in discussion for deletion. There used to be over 200 references on original page. A quick Google News search will show over 100 independent media sources. Now there are only 3 and no peer-reviewed publications in the medical literature are there now. It's like the page was vandalized. Thank you kindly in advance for your consideration of adding either some references found in a Google news search or medical journal articles below as the page is semi-protected now. Thank you very kindly. JJJjacksoneverst (talk) 15:25, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
apologies I am a new author here and originally added a shell page about the band The Basement Effect.

Hi,
So I was going to warn said user about COI and saw you had already warned them a while ago. I flagged the page with severe close paraphrasing and wrote them about single-purpose accounts and Wiki promotion policy, but I don't know if that's sufficient. Since you posted on their talk page they have continued to focus exclusively on that article.
The page has major issues with copying from the subject's bio sections, but I don't know who added the problematic content. I've only edited so far and don't know the norms for this enforcement stuff. I wasn't sure if the close paraphrasing should be considered plagiarism and immediately removed. The article is also too detailed I feel.

...for restoring the info box/lead paragraphs on the Pamela Meyer page. I saw it on my watch list three minutes ago, fired up my computer to revert the edit (which blanked the info box and the first paragraph of the article) and found that you'd already done it. Awesome. Thank you. (So strange that someone would do that. It's not like she's controversial!) Julie JSFarman (talk) 13:36, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
