Importance rating of Terabyte, etc.I've not been involved with projects or article ratings, so I'm unfamiliar with how these things work, but I've started a discussion of the importance ratings you've assigned to Kilo/Mega/Giga/Tera/Peta/Exabyte at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computing/Assessment#Local_list.

Re: GAR FeminismHi Sovereign Sentinel - just wondering why you're asking for a GAR on Feminism? Is there a problem with it or have the standards changed? It'd be helpful to know so the page can be improved--Cailil talk 14:23, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

16:30:41, 14 August 2015 review of submission by MoriahRusso
Additionally, I believe that *even if* this subject were to be considered a neologism, it would meet Wikipedia requirements for "substantial use and press coverage" :) Let me know what you think. I've re-submitted the page for review after revising some of the references and building up the background coverage. MoriahRusso (talk) 17:29, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, I know. Originally the article contained the actual syllabi lists but another editor recommended I remove the lists (primary material) and instead stick to the contextualizing copy and link to the list on the original webpage. MoriahRusso (talk) 18:34, 14 August 2015 (UTC) notabilityHello! I have been trying to submit a page on a string arranger I know who is Emmy nominated, has worked on network television and generally quite accomplished. I was surprised he didn't have a page...especially when I know several other musicians and producers who have super low not-notable credits but have their own wiki pages. Admittedly, I am not an experienced wiki editor, so I am not sure if that has something to do with it? (All of life seems to be "who you know.":-) So since you were the latest to decline my page, I wondered if you could help me. I have read the notability guidelines several times and Mark Evitts seems to meet at least two (if not more) of the requirements. Am I not referencing correctly? Am I just crappy at html? :-( I would love any assistance you could offer. Thank you so much!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mark_Evitts intoacloud - August 14, 2015 Intoacloud (talk) 23:24, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello Sovereign Sentinel and thank you for taking the time to review my article submission on Aspley East State School. I am at a loss to understand rejection of the current article draft on grounds of insufficient notability and references. My guide for putting this together has been a number of very similar and almost identical format articles on other state schools in the Brisbane area which already have Wikipedia article pages and which actually have less references. These can be found for Regents Park State School, Chapel Hill State School, Marsden State School, Aspley State High School and almost all other State High Schools in Brisbane. Thank you for reconsidering. (Chapman*55 (talk) 04:14, 15 August 2015 (UTC)) Chapman*55 (talk) 04:14, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. I understand your comments and am still left puzzled by the large number of such similar articles in Wikipedia. I decided to test your advice and list one of the other local school articles for deletion on the same grounds provided for declining my article. Can I refer you to Talk:Chapel Hill State School where a very similar article of this nature has attracted a solid level of support when proposed for deletion and is clearly part of ongoing projects pertaining to schools and also Queensland. I am prepared to tone back the promotional angle of the language used. Does this information affect your decision? (Chapman*55 (talk) 11:30, 15 August 2015 (UTC))
O.K. thanks for that. I guess the main point is what I uncovered in the process as referred to above and am interested in your response to that. Thanks for working with me. (Chapman*55 (talk) 11:58, 15 August 2015 (UTC)) Hello sovereign Sentinel. I have reworked some of the wording and have inserted additional secondary sources, particularly those that verify the notability of the school around community importance, scholastic success and unique status. It is particularly notable as a school for the blind, as one of the select group of Queensland Independent Public Schools. The inclusion of notable alumni adds to the distinction of the school. It was recently singled out by national news television for mention and there is a link to this video. I have been reading the various articles in Wikipedia related to schools articles and note there is considerable disagreement around defining notability for such articles. I would also point out that WikiProject Queensland, WikiProject Australia and WikiProject Education in Australia were supportive of the article on Chapel Hill State School when it was proposed for deletion and this is a very similar article. I look forward to your assessment and thank you for your time. (Chapman*55 (talk) 03:59, 16 August 2015 (UTC)) Ammy VirkHello Sovereign Sentinel. Seperate issue, Needreview (talk · contribs) created the Draft:Ammy Virk page and Draft:Navjit Buttar. It appears that someone has 'borrowed' their text and created Navjit Buttar without attribution! I have therefore put a WP:CSD#G12 "Unambiguous copyright infringement" template on that page. 220 of Borg 12:32, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
DYK lead image varietySovereign Sentinel, DYK's queue 6 has a building in it, so I just moved a building from prep 1 to prep 3 to prevent two buildings being pictured on the main page in a row, and separated three people in a row that had been in preps 2, 3, and 4. So you can understand my dismay when I noticed that you'd just promoted yet another building to prep 1. Please be sure to vary the type of image from one set to another in your future promotions, and consider swapping the latest building from lead to later. Many thanks.

Please let me know how I can improve this page because I have already cited secondary sources that have nothing to do with WhatsNew & added more references. Not sure how pages like Zalora https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalora have been approved and they are written like an advertisement. Best regards, cynluo

Can you please be more specific in regards to what in this article makes it sound "essay-like" ? Obviously, I keep getting this response and numerous edits and support from the help desk hasn't improved it. Can you be specific about which references are inappropriate for wikipedia? This topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_for_social_development is very similar to sports-based youth development. Can you explain why this wiki article is accepted and the one I'm writing is not? Thanks!

Thank you for overseeing the move of the Germanic neopaganism page to Heathenry (new religious movement), as was the conclusion to the Talk Page discussion. Unfortunately another editor isn't happy that this has happened, and has tried to move it back by creating a redirect back to Germanic neopaganism. I'm not sure what do to in this situation and whether to seek sanctions against this user. Do you have any recommendations as to how to proceed on this one ? Best, Midnightblueowl (talk) 21:30, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Life on MercuryI'm not sure this should've been a non-admin closure. It was merged and redirected before an ended up being reverted. Also with 4 deletes, one keep, and 2 merges puts it in 50/50 territory.--Savonneux (talk) 00:19, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Non-admin closureYour Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ontario Moderate Party was a bit shaky. Yes, an admin might have closed this as "keep" but there's a good chance he would've closed it as "no consensus/default keep" or re-listed it. "No consensus/default" and "keep" differ in that if someone re-nominates a page that recently closed as "keep" it is likely to be viewed as disruptive editing. Not so for a page that was closed a month or two ago as "no consensus. WP:Non-admin closures should be done only when there won't be any serious opposition to the result. In this case I wouldn't undo your closure but be a bit more careful next time and only do non-admin closures if you are 99% nobody will dispute the result. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:18, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:02, 5 September 2015 (UTC) Germanic neopaganismGermanic neopaganism I was traveling in Europe, and I missed the recent "rigged" election on renaming the article Heathenry (new religious movement). I say rigged because the person who suggested the change and two persons who never edited the page carried the change in a 3 to 1 vote. I DO NOT want to pursue the issue right now, but I plan to pursue it at a future date. My main problem with the change is the definition of "heathen" in American English. Informally, to most Americans it is an offensive term, and means "irreligious, uncivilized, or unenlightened." Moreover, the pagans who endorse the use of "heathen" do so because pagan is derived from Latin and French and "heathen" is "folkish." In my opinion the religion is called Odinism or Ásatrú, but Germanic neopaganism works because it is neutral. --ThorLives (talk) 04:31, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

AFD nominationsBefore nominating an article for deletion, you're supposed to do a WP:BEFORE. Point D is especially relevant: "Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability" --NeilN talk to me 14:51, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
I have to second what NeilN is saying. Your AfD for the K11 Art Foundation missed the fact that they are extremely notable. I had no trouble coming up with a dozen notable references for their activities from very reliable sources. On the other hand, it did propel me to improve the page!
