Revision Questions

Hello! Thank you for reviewing my article. However, I'd appreciate more feedback. When I first submitted the article, the reviewer found the sources to be "excellent," though they had problems with parts of the article's tone. I entirely removed the questionable sections, adjusted any non-neutral sounding language, and even supplemented the article with additional secondary sources. However, the article was again rejected... I'm not really sure where to go next with resubmitting again, as I feel that the sources cited are numerous and quite reliable! I appreciate your advice and any specific tips you could provide. Thank you! NoraAaron (talk) 16:41, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

I second that you've done excellent job in finding sources but however, many facts remain unsourced. There are many lines or paragraphs that don't have any source. If the material is covered in sources, please use "Common references" to avoid any confusion. The article is good to go but needs refs for few facts. Sorry as I forgot to add a comment regarding it. Thanks! TheSpecialUser  16:50, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Could you clarify what you mean by "common references" and what facts still need refs? Rather than putting (repeating) references at the end of every sentence, should I just list them at the end of their appropriate paragraphs? Thanks again for your help & advice! NoraAaron (talk) 20:05, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Give me a some time and I'll give a detailed explanation on your talk by today evening. Cheers! TheSpecialUser  03:54, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

That would be fantastic... looking forward & thanks so much! NoraAaron (talk) 04:24, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks for your suggestions! I've revised the article and removed the external links and have inserted sources for the sections you've identified. Please let me know if this suffices! I've posted this note on my & your talk pages. NoraAaron (talk) 04:17, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't see any issue that would refrain me from accepting it. Congrates! You've got an article :) Thanks for your contributions to Misplaced Pages and I hope that you'll continue. If you ever need help, don't forget to ping me. Cheers! TheSpecialUser  10:20, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Great! Thanks again for your help & suggestions. NoraAaron (talk) 16:39, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey, The SpecialUser! Thank you very much for The Writer's barnstar! Now I have two, and I feel very proud. :D I understand it is possible to add an Indian portal to the Bhopal disaster article, but I don't know how. Can you do it? Ingrid Eckerman (talk) 20:08, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

 Done TheSpecialUser  10:20, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

I don't like your changes!

I don't like at all the changes you made of the Bhopal disaster. I donä't get the overview I hade before. It is very difficult for me to check that there are no changes made of the text and that the references are still relevant. I would prefer that you undo all the changes. Let the article be easy to read - it is long enough. It is more important that it is easy to read and understand than that it follows the rules. But thank you for the barnstar!

Dear reviewer, I appreciate your criticism. Hopefully, what might appear as 'original research' (in other words, mere unfounded opinion of the person writing the article) has now been backed up more thoroughly by quotations. If there are still problems now that need to be resolved, please do point them out. Thank you for your patience and for giving your time, reviewing articles like this one. I know I would have made it easier for you if the quotes had been included right away. JoanX.Chen (talk) 23:12, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts to the community. You are doing really nice work and we need editors like you around. I've moved the submission to article space and if you ever require assistance, don't hesitate in contacting me. Thanks and happy editing! TheSpecialUser  10:20, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

my AfC submission

Hi there! I just have a quick question. My AfC (SAFE Boats International LLC) was accepted a couple weeks ago but never received a quality rating when it was accepted, is there any chance you could give rate it? I would greatly appreciate it! :) daintalk   03:07, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for taking care of that really quickly! I appreciate it. daintalk   04:53, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you

That auto-archiving

The setting up of Miszabot did not really work today as I can see that the bot has already run for the day. Am I missing something? Is there any list of articles where the article name should be added? Sorry for bothering you with this. —Indian:BIO · 08:18, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Huh? Let me check. I'll re-configure it. TheSpecialUser  10:20, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

GA REVIEW

Hi TSU. Take a Look at Michael Johnson (fighter) and Ronnie Mann. These are Good articles, and I think Matt Hughes (fighter) is better developed. If you put it on hold, I can improve the article according to your suggestions. LlamaAl (talk) 19:34, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Going through the article, I can to similar conclusion. You've got the detailed review on the review page. I'm not failing it :) TheSpecialUser  08:38, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Dear reviewer, thank you for your helpful criticism and advice. It encouraged me to improve the article. As a new "Wikipedian" I'm glad to learn how to write Misplaced Pages articles. JoanX.Chen (talk) 00:57, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

A boat that can float! (watch me float!) 14:50, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks enormously for this. It all comes of trying to do important procedures over an iPad where it's tricky do anything properly. I think you would make the perfect RFA candidate yourself soon. Rcsprinter (converse) @ 19:50, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

You are welcome! As far as my RfA goes, I actually don't want admin rights so wont be going for it anytime soon but thanks for considering me a good candidate :) TheSpecialUser  22:19, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

New Signature, Pass or Fail?

Since you somehow rejected my past sign, I'd like you to check on my new signature. It's because instead of being reprimanded by using it right away, it's better to test it. TruPepitoMTalk to us 01:41, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tru and it is really nice of you to come here and follow up. I never 'rejected' your sign but anyways, there are no problems with your current sign and it is absolutely cool. It has clearly passed! TheSpecialUser  01:03, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Talkback

RfA

Thank you for your help with the Keelan RfA. All his edits were vandalism and he has been blocked for socking. If you are an early voter on a dubious RfA again, don't hesitate to run even more background checks than you normally would for voting, and if (and only if) it's a very blatant case of SNOW like this one, don't hesitate to close it yourself and drop a note to me or another admin letting them know what you have done so that we can investigate further and block if necessary. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:53, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Oh I see. Their answers to the questions gave me slight hint that they are here to either troll or are hugely misunderstood. Thus I checked few links and eventually strongly opposed. Thanks for informing about it and such dubious cases occur rarely perhaps won't get more chance but if got, I won't hesitate. Thanks and happy editing! TheSpecialUser  01:03, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

I am confounded, help me.

Two well-meaning editors have, I think, misunderstood my edits on India and reverted it twice. Please neutrally comment on the talk page here and help me navigate through this gloomy phase. In your judgement, I trust. The reverter did not look closely at my additions and that's what spurred the argument I guess. I simply don't understand why my edits were reverted in the first place. Yes, I know what I could have done but I just don't get what I did wrong. Help! Mrt3366 16:08, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
