Influenza A Segment 7 Splice Site

Please reconsider your decision on the Influenza A Segment 7 Splice Site entry. This entry is to be linked to Rfam as a new RNA family. Every Rfam entry has a corresponding wikipage. This article describes a novel influenza RNA family and is in-line with other influenza Rfam/Wikipedia pages: e.g. Influenza virus pseudoknot. This addition (for Influenza A Segment 7 Splice Site), once linked to Rfam, will be valuable to both Rfam and Misplaced Pages. Once approved, I will also edit the main influenza article to link to this and the other influenza RNA families, to integrate it into the larger body of knowledge on influenza.

Disambiguation link notification for August 21

Hi. When you recently edited Van, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page E-Series (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Paterson (NJT station) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 ""s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Glass-Steagall and the UK and Europe -- cleanup?

Thanks for your suggestion. I think when I expanded the article in 2011 I probably tried to do too much with that section and it's gotten worse. I'll try to clean it up and also update it. Much more has happened. Thanks again for taking the time to contact me. EAFAAT (talk) 22:21, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Homewrecker

I have reverted your additions to Homewrecker again. The existing page is not an article but a disambiguation page listing the multiple articles that already exist on Misplaced Pages with the title Homewrecker. If you wish to create a new article please do so. I suggest a title like Homewrecker (person). Regards. Tassedethe (talk) 21:03, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Your reversion violates WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. If you wish to discuss, go ahead, but don't revert again without prior talk page discussion. Note carefully the set of pages involved: There is a Homewrecker (disambiguation) that you have not touched, while Homewrecker is a primary topic. I would also like to point out the overwhelming thinness of the set of disambig links; they would be better served by a pair of list pages than by a DAB, or a pair of category pages. However, I kept things simple by including those references in the main article, seeing that the whole result is digestible at a glance.

TL;DR my edits match WP policy, your reverts don't; if you disagree, the proper place to voice that is the talk page. There are also better ways to deal with all those songs. Dovid (talk) 15:24, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Discussion notification

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "Homewrecker". Thank you. Tassedethe (talk) 20:26, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you tried to give Homewrecker a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you. PantherLeapord|My talk page|My CSD log 21:57, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your notice. Indeed, the target page existed, as a redirect to the source page from which the content was switched. The content was just DAB content, I don't think there's any legality in that, at least in the US, where the courts have ruled that indexes and other compilations of informations cannot be copyrighted. However, I'm not against using the move request mechanism, but there is a consesnus-building activity on the move rightnow, s I will wait for that to complete.

Explaining

I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 13:50, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Homewrecker

Songs that go to #2 on a major chart are usually considered notable. Also, reviews of the song are usually the kind of material that make for a notable song article. Just sayin'. Ten Pound Hammer • 20:35, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Not sure what you're taking issue with. DId I claim non-notability for something that is notable? Please elucidate. 14:30, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, you did. Reviews of a song are usually an indication of notability, as is "making her the first female artist to send her first four singles into the country Top Ten since Deana Carter did so between 1996 and 1997." Ten Pound Hammer • 18:51, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

I have no idea what you are talking about. Is this something to do with the Gretchen WIlson song, Homewrecker? I don't recall making comments about her song or its notability. Please provide a link to the edit you are referring to, or at least a page link and quote. Otherwise, I'm drawing a blank. Dovid (talk) 19:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, wasn't realizing that you had no recollection of editing the article. Anyway, I'm talking about this edit, where you put a {{notability}} tag on it. Ten Pound Hammer • 21:26, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

OK, thanks, got it. I vaguely recall that now. I think I looked at a bunch of reviews, and they were of the one-paragraph, "new release" type without any critical content, but if you've found something else, sure, of course. Dovid (talk) 18:28, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Influenza A Segment 7 Splice Site

Sorry for the previous note in the wrong spot (I'm not very experienced with wikipedia). Let me re-iterate that this entry is to be linked to Rfam as a new RNA family entry. There is a partnership between Rfam and Misplaced Pages to have short wiki entries for every family of RNAs in the database. There are hundreds of wiki articles on various RNAs. For more on the collaboration between Rfam and[REDACTED] see here: RNA journal submits articles to Misplaced Pages. I wrote this entry to be understandable to college undergrads (and up) and expect it to be useful to students and researchers. I've made made special pains to link to other wiki articles that explain the basic science behind the described work. As for "notability", this page describes an RNA family that been reported in three peer-reviewed journal articles (cited in the page). If you are still having problems with this entry, maybe you could check with the people at the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject RNA for additional information?

Walternmoss (Walternmoss|talk)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Walternmoss (talk • contribs) 21:35, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

I understand. I've opened a discussion about this sort of thing at the reviewer's discussion page. Basically, if I understand you correctly, you need a special case for articles notable because of their implied association with a project or a scientific database or a unique association with the Misplaced Pages project. Those are not explicitly covered in the notability guidelines, so I'm trying to see if there's a way it can be shoehorned in, or perhaps I've missed something, or perhaps we need a policy change. I'll keep you posted. A few further side notes to help you get more comfortable on Wiki: 1) Signing comments: whenever you put something on a talk/discussion page like this one or the one for an article, you should sign it by typing four tildes (~~~~). Otherwise, you get what you see above, which is the bot noticing that you did this and attempting to correct it by pulling article history, finding that it is your edit, and signing for you, which is awkward. 2) Signature format Your default signature has an error. It has ], which means "link to page 'User', but display the link as 'Waltermoss' instead." (The alias is what follows the bar in a wiki link.) So when I click your name, I get the wrong page, on a wiki article named User. I think you were just trying to rmeove the link from your signature to your un-created user page. In that case, your signature should be: Waltermoss (] • ]). You canmake this change in your preferences. Dovid (talk) 17:39, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your patience and your work on this. Also, thank you very much for your instructions! Sorry for being such a "noob". Walternmoss (talk) 18:06, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Classification Tree Method

Hi, I'm a little bit puzzled about the invalid ISBNs. All references with such also list a DOI link. If you follow that, you'll reach IEEE, Springer, ACM and other reknown scientific journals listing the articles and supply the given ISBN Numbers. Can you indicate, which reference's ISBNs are are missing/problematic? Kind Regards OMPwiki (talk) 18:49, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

responded at your talk page as per below. If you resubmit the AfC for review, and notify me, I will approve it right away. Per the note below, please consider just merging the CTE content into CTM, but make sure it doesn't get WP:UNDUE WEIGHT in the merged article. CTM should be primarily about CTM independent of CTE, but there can still be a substantial CTE section within it. Here's the note:

I was able to check the referenced symposia articles. It was a little hard to put some of them together with the subject, and one of the ISBN's is wrong (duplicate of the another). It is also difficult to tell whether these sources should be considered independent, as all of them see to be developers and promoters of the methodology, not "qualified bystanders" who are discussing it. Nevertheless, 'll give it a "pass" and approve it. You will probably have more difficulty with the editor. Even though it is in common use for CTM practitioners, it isn't really separately notable. I suggest just merging its content in.

- Dovid (talk) 19:48, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, sorry for the confusion. I did two things:

* Added external references for the Method from Testing Books by different authors (that is, authors independent from the development of the method)

* Reviewed that duplicate ISBN thing to realize that - it is indeed correct, the two references with different article topics/titels are from the same book, a conference proceedings.

For the suggested merger CTM/CTE, I'll give the CTE article a second try with more external/independent references. If that again fails, I'll follow your advice as given above on merging.

Peter Smith Photographer

HI and thanks for your comments.

I had made number of improvements and deleted a lot of information about the gallery etc. The awards section is verifiable on the web and I had listed them as well as a public comment on the quality of the Australian awards. Are you able to give some guidance on how I could improve this. I thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by F2cphotography (talk • contribs) 03:47, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

@F2cphotography: I'm a different reviewer than the last one. You did include a link that states that the APAA's are among the toughest awards, but that link is to a blog post. We need something a little better than that. It is a sort of third-hand notability -- blog claims APAA's are notable, APAA is awarded to Smith, so Smith is notable. But the blog isn't a very reliable source of info (anyone can write anything on a blog), and that's only to establish third-hand, for a single shot at notability. If there were lots of blog posts, and there were many forms of notability, that might wash.

I would focus more on Better Photography, or on both. You can probably show that Better Photography is a respected magazine, and the fact that they publish an article by Peter gives some notability, especially if that article is cited in books, other journals, or on the blogs of established experts.

Notability is very subjective, so it is hard to give you perfect rules, I'm just pointing out the issues, and what you can do to improve them. Perhaps another reviewer would find things fine as is, or might actually say that the improvements I suggest don't go far enough. Don't get discouraged. If you think Smith is notable, you have a reason, and all you need to do is find significance to others who think the same.

Don't forget to do some copyedits to make the whole article tone fit better, to, please. Good luck! Dovid (talk) 04:05, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
