Seanwud (talk) 18:15, 11 November 2014 (UTC) Hi Ahecht, today you marked my first wiki page Delete_Skype_History_(software) for deletion. As far as I understand the reason is that it contained references to the program web-site. I've removed the reference in the article body. Is it Ok now or I should review something in addiotion?
Hello, Sir I want to ask some questions from you about the declining of article that I can also give the references to my article from the books of well known phillosophers of ancient times like Cant Bergsant and another but I did not know their publishing history and did not know how to cite thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamid bin qasim (talk • contribs) 12:29, 15 November 2014

Thank you very much for all your help. Really appreciate it. I have made the changes and re-submitted the draft. Just wanted to clarify if it is okay to link to other articles in Wikipedia via Wikilinks feature. If so could you please explain how to use this feature - your explanation makes it very easy! :) Thank you once again! — Preceding unsigned comment added by AmarnathManju (talk • contribs) 18:19, 17 November 2014

. If the link you have created shows up in red, it means that the name in brackets doesn't exactly match an existing article title (and capitalization matters). --Ahecht (TALKHi Ahecht! I appreciate your input on the page I'm creating for Robert A. Needham. I saw you noticed a discrepancy about not using the proper citation for content derived from the book Collaborative Commonwealth. I was wondering if you could give me some input on what was the potential copyright infringement in the draft for the page and if it's a direct quote or should be paraphrased. Also, I grabbed content from the About the Author section and was wondering if I have to cite that or since it's from Robert's bio not cite it. Thank you so much for your time!
Alexprplus (talk) 18:32, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for responding so quickly! So I'm not supposed to use quotes at all? I'm a little confused because I see quotes on other Wikipedia pages. Are you only allowed to use direct quotes from what people say then? Like in interviews? Thanks! Also, were using what Robert wrote on his Wikipedia page and I figured that would be okay to cite from the author his own content for his Wikipedia page. So it's still copyright infringement if we use content from the person we're creating a Wikipedia page for?

Hello Ahecht. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Dear Ahecht,
I noticed that my article was refused, in order to mention more reliable sources. But, as a proud fan of Avatar (Swedish band) since 2008, I know all the information I detailed was exact, true, genuine. I was only unable to find some good sources to prove you and the rest of the viewers that these infos weren't false. The band wasn't really known when this album came out, and good sources would be found in the search engines' suggestions of Sweden regions (where the band is coming from). If you could give me a little help about, I would sincerely appreciate it. Regards,

My article on the English Spelling System was rejected on the grounds that there is already something about it in English Orthography, and that i should try to edit that one, but i find that piece so high-brow and academic that i can't even begin to think where to start. The title itself says it all. How many people know or use the word orthography? In the past i have tried putting a link to one of my blogs which explains the English spelling system in a way that ordinary people can unterstand, e.g. http://improvingenglishspelling.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/rules-and-exceptions-of-english-spelling.html, but it invariably got deleted.
This was probably because i have had a few books on spelling published, but since then i have put all my research findings on my blogs http://englishspellingproblems.blogspot.co.uk and http://improvingenglishspelling.blogspot.co.uk so that people can use them without having to pay a penny. I am horrified by the misinformation about English spelling on the internet which keeps stoking the never-ending reading wars, so I have spent the past 15 years trying to anlyse and describe English spelling as factually accurately as possible.
I did wonder if the Simple English Encyclopedia would be a better place for my article. But does anyone actually look at that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mashabell (talk • contribs) 10:34, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Ahecht,
Thank you for reading the article on the International School of Business, Vietnam. I'm a little confused by the reasoning for rejecting the article; in your comments you wrote that "departments" of a university usually don't warrant their own Wikipedia article, and suggested folding the ISB article into that for the University of Economics, HCMC.
But ISB is not a department within UEH. Rather it's a separate university that simply has a partnership with UEH.
I realize there might have been some language in the original ISB article that could be misleading on this point, so I've removed those sentences.
Again, the International School of Business at UEH, HCMC is a unique university, and is not simply a department of the University of Economics.
Thank you for your time, input and consideration.

Afc Resubmission for Draft: Lao Veterans of America Institute
I was able to add additional references/citations regarding the national and international noteability of the subject organization, including references from the Hmong Times, McClatchy News Organization (which owns the Fresno and Sacramento Bee newspapers and many others), the US Congressional Record, Los Angeles Times, etc. Also new references/citations to organization from National Public Radio (NPR) and its President, Colonel Wangyee Vang.
These are national and international news media sources for the most part.
I do not have access to JSTOR but their are other references in the Los Angeles Times as well as Agence France Press (AFP) to the Lao Veterans of America Institute and its President Colonel Wangyee Vang of Fresno, California. So the organization is most noteable with significant U.S. and international news media attention.

Hi Ahecht,
I've recently been working on a page entitled Silent Teaching. My intention was not to write this in the first person but rather to build awareness through Wikipedia as to the extent of the uses of Silent Teaching, as I found there are pages attributed to silent teaching from other sources. I made valid attempt to relate to these sources through the piece submitted.
Are there any options or suggestions you may have? The only 'published' platform for the silent teaching work is via the Times Education Supplement website and through work with National Autism Society, together with published mentions of the work online.
Is there a way I could construct the writing in a way that may be better received via Wikipedia, as the piece is written to provide an account and an incite into silent teaching and not for the purpose of self-promotion. A number of colleagues were involved in assisting the original draft so I am exploring options if any are available.

Hi Ahecht, Thank you. In response to your feedback:
1) People are aware of the subject of silent teaching and a number of these have downloaded silent teaching reports via the Times Education Supplement website 2)The account written mentions specifically work in the area of study via: See how this relates to earlier work [6] by Caleb Gattegno who said: "Teachers should concentrate on how students learn, not on how to teach" - Caleb's work is already noted via Wikipedia and thus the subject is widely known 3)The work in silent teaching has received media coverage via The South Shields Gazette and this is independent coverage and a great number of additional publications have commented on the subject of silent teaching, also reliable and independent
What would be your guidance in developing a Wikipedia page on-going, if any? Could I cite some of these additional sources who have commented independently on the subject of Silent Teaching?
Kind regards Tor
SILENT TEACHING: Unfortunately, Wikipedia limits itself to subjects that have already received wide coverage from reliable sources. Per the policy at WP:NOTPROMOTION, Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a platform to build awareness, as its designed to only cover subjects that people are aware of. Furthermore, if you are providing an account and an insight into silent teaching that hasn't already been published then you fall afoul of Wikipedia's original research policy. If the accounts and insights into silent teaching receive significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article, then, and only then, you can use that information in a Wikipedia article. --Ahecht (TALK PAGE) 22:02, 4 February 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.150.19.3 (talk)
