Hello there, I hope you're well and enjoyed a great week.
Last month I submitted an article for a band, at the address:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Krupskaya_(UK_band)
It was rejected and I would like to please request some advice on what I should do to ensure it is of acceptable criteria.
I understand that the web site links selling the bands work perhaps aren't acceptable as citations to their discography, but I wasn't sure what else I could use in lieu of the information being available in any other, singular place. In this instance, would it be better for me to leave the citations out of the discography completely?
Before I submitted my article for the band (whom I saw perform during the latter years of the previous decade), I wasn't sure that they'd meet the Wikipedia notability guidelines given that they're an underground band. But I did some research and found several entries to other bands who play similar music or operate in DIY scenes, some of whom have arguably less achievements behind them, and believed that this meant the band would be eligible for submission. The main example I used was Narcosis, as I saw this band play with Krupskaya before - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcosis_(UK_band)
I tried to ensure the information I submitted was well cited, but I am struggling to see what my submission lacks that the above entry does correctly?
I absolutely want to make sure this submission is as valid and close to perfection as I can acheive, so if there is any advice you could please provide in regards to the above, I'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks, have a great weekend

Hi there Chris.
I have recently reverted vandalism with the twinkle rollback feature as well as with my rollback rights. I haven't used the undo button very much. Sorry about that. I will "undo" edits from now on unless you instruct me to otherwise. Thanks. --AkifumiiTalk 05:11, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Hello Chris troutman. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:Abrightly, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: WP:U5 does not apply because author has made many edits outside of userspace. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 01:06, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi there.
I have been working on tagging pages for deletion but can't seem to find any. Do I just have to look harder? Is there a place or page that can help me find pages for speedy deletion? I have marked pages for deletion in the past using Twinkle through Special:NewPagesFeed. Thanks. A2 14:45, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

You did an editor review on me, of which I've just been notified by a tick with your name - thanks for taking the time to do this, although I didn't request it. Where can I see it?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Balfour Declaration, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Eland. 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.

Thanks for your review of my articles. I read that the article was declined because of Copyright violation.
Can you please help me identify which part of the article is copyrighted. I have re-edit the article before the last submission and strive to provide citation to all the sources I used.
Sorry for the way I put my question, I'm just a beginner in this regard. Olamikhx (talk) 07:46, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

On19 July 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article James Brown (Elvis impersonator), which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Elvis impersonator James Brown is best known for songs that Elvis never recorded, sung in the style of Elvis? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/James Brown (Elvis impersonator). 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 Chris, many thanks for the acceptance of the article! I was expecting comments on things that needed 'neatened-up'. Best, Old Beeg ··warble·· 01:54, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Hello Chris: The comments which you posted about the recent Lead addition on the Wikipedia page is something which I support. The editor there tried to force this edit in on 25 May against two editors and was stopped then. Now he seems to want to force it through again. I tried setting up a BRD on Talk today but he deleted it and changed it to his own preferred current format, and then deleted my BRD revert on the Page itself as well! Along with the 2 editors from 25 May who did not want the changes in the Lead, that makes 4 of us who don't want it. My support is for your position on this. Could you glance at the large number of reverts by that same editor in May? LawrencePrincipe (talk) 18:56, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for explaining to me why my article was deleted. I thought it was because an editor didn't like the writing style. What happened was I quoted myself without realizing the copyright implications! I could easily get the publisher's approval, but my preference is to simply rewrite the article with the "essay-like" sections rewritten to meet Wikipedia wording standards. I am deeply grateful for your advocacy and encouragement and hope my foray into "speedy deletion" did not cause you any problems with other editors. Gerrardb (talk) 00:59, 31 July 2014 (UTC)B.

Hi Chris Troutman,
I am in the midst of submitting my article for a re-review, as I have made the necessary changes and have added multiple reliable resources from the Windsor Star Newspaper. Before submitting my article for revision, I was wondering if you could have a look at it. I did speak with multiple individuals from the help channel including Huon, Salvidrim, and Dragonfly6-7, in regards to my resources and they have confirmed that these are reliable.
Thanks Chris!
Yes, a moment with Google will show you that there are state courts martial. Mikedelsol (talk) 00:01, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
You didn't read the article before editing, or you would have seen the references to the Oregon State Code of Military Justice and the Model State Code of Military Justice. There are, I would guess, 50 state codes of military justice each of which is authoritative for its state. To cite 50 seems excessive, To cite one seems arbitrary. The Oregon one happens to be on the web in full. Hawaii has a web site, but it is not easy to understand.Mikedelsol (talk) 00:58, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello Chris,
I was wondering what would constitute a reliable source in the context of an independent, yet highly notable author? The sources used for the Sean Carswell article are from the City of Ventura, literary journals that featured Carswell, and other independent publications that spoke about Carswell's achievements and activities. I reviewed all the materials pertaining to this on wiki, but am at a loss as to how an independent minded author cuts the mustard with notability. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Hello Chris Troutman,
Thank you for your comments on the article, Pratch & Company, that I submitted on August 7. I understand your criticism of using too many of Dr. Pratch's own articles as references. One of the comments says to take them all out and resubmit the article. I have two questions: Isn't it appropriate to link to Dr. Pratch's research when making a statement regarding that research, specifically when stating that the research was carried out? Also, is there anything else in the article that needs revision before I resubmit it?
Thank you for any advice you can offer me.
Sincerely,
