== Decline of Quantium Solutions (draft) ==
Hi Timtrent, would like to clarify that for the university report, it is a published case under Institutional Knowledge(InK) by a reputable university in Singapore (SMU) and its contents are available on many OAI-POH platforms such as Google Scholar. I think this source qualifies as a reputable one? Please advice, thanks! [[User:Fuzzster87|Fuzzster87]] ([[User talk:Fuzzster87|talk]]) 06:37, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} I wonder why you have not linked to the article. It is at [[Draft:Quantium Solutions]]
:But I asked if it had been peer reviewed, not who had published it. Peer reviewed or not, you need more references from [[WP:RS]] for the article to go forward. If you do not it will be challenged there and, potentially, deleted. Being asked to edity now is much more plesant than having to defend against deletion.
:Find more references. We require sourcing from significant coverage about the entity, and independent of it, and in [[WP:RS]] please. Then resubmit it after removing any doubtful ones. I try very hard not to re-review articles. You need more eyes than my own, so I am unlikely to re-review it.

:{{Ping|Timtrent}} Firstly would like to thank you for taking the time and effort to discuss on each individual source and on its credibility. It has been really helpful. I am trying to find at least one more justifiable source to make this article substantial enough. Will notify you when I have resubmitted it. Just for information, it is alright for me to label this article as a stub so that others can work on it in future - ie. when Quantium Solutions undergo new developments etc. Let me know thanks! [[User:Fuzzster87|Fuzzster87]] ([[User talk:Fuzzster87|talk]]) 02:33, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
::{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} The stub flagging is really an esoteric way of saying "This is a short article." and it is fine if you label it. It does not mean that anyone will work ion itr for ages. But they will, sooner or later. Label with pleasure. Good luck with your reference hunt.

::{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} It looks as if it has been a hard, hard search. If I were to re-review the article now I would have a problem with http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/21/ny-payoneer-idUSnBw216463a+100+BSW20140121 since it is a press release. http://postandparcel.info/31135/news/singpost-“cautiously-optimistic”-after-3q-results/ is fine for me, but ok. It has the look and feel of PR material, but seems to be a report of the formal annual report. If you want to remove the press release one and resubmit and let me know I would feel able to accept it. BUT there is no guarantee that others will feel the same once it is an accepted article, and you should keep seeking and adding references that are independent of Quantium.

Just out of curiosity though, would the following reference http://finance.yahoo.com/news/payoneer-partners-quantium-solutions-inc-180000180.html be regarded as a press release as well?

::{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} Nothing wrong with the format. We have an issue harder to solve. The admin who protected [[Quantium Solutions]] against re-creation has been asked to unprotect it but has offered an alternate opinion on the new article. I have placed his comment there. He has chosen, as is his right, not to unprotect it, so I cannot move it to the final name. Wikipedia is not, as you are finding, a simple place to write articles.

:{{Ping|Timtrent}} It is indeed hard to write articles in this space when things are seen subjectively. So the conclusion is this article cannot pass? Can you explain what he meant by the subject would go better within Singapore Post article with a redirect from QS? What can I do on my end?

::{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} You are suffering from multiple creations of the same article. Normally it is not this hard. Normally one creates a draft, fixes most things, and it is accepted, even if there is some way to go towards perfection, even if the reviewer you meet is as pedantic as am I.
::What he is suggesting is that you merge the information into the other article, adding a section if necessary. Now he may not be right. None of us needs to be right. I suggest the route forward is to consider his suggestion and to open a dialogue with him. As you know, were it not for the history, I would have accepted the article. However, a thing to know is that, once an article, ''anything'' can happen to it, including someone else merging it into the other article. I would have not objected had it been merged subsequently.
::Wikipedia can be subjective, yes. The concept is a mixed blessing and the alleged wisdom of crowds can result in moronic stupidity.
::That is not the case here at all, that is a general remark, born out of frustration with seeing it at times. {{U|RHaworth}} is a careful and considered admin, and what he says is well worth weighing and discussing, much like you and I are discussing matters. Approach him for advice on his talk page and acknowledge to yourself that either he or you, or neither of you may be correct. There is a route forward. The finding of it is the fun of the chase.

:{{Ping|Timtrent}} Hi, thanks for the reply. I have actually initated a talk with him previously when I first submitted the article, but at that time I submitted it directly (was not aware of this submit a draft first option). However instead of getting advice the talk became a heated discussion as archived here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RHaworth/2014_May_22#Deletion_of_Quantium_Solutions. I will still try to initiate a conversation as I have very much improved on the article compared to my previous submission, thanks to your help. Just wanted to clarify what you meant as "merge"? I'm wondering if I add a few liners on Singapore Post wikipedia about QS, and link it out as a stub for others to add on it, will that be plausible? Once again, thanks! [[User:Fuzzster87|Fuzzster87]] ([[User talk:Fuzzster87|talk]]) 02:52, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
::{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} What I would do if I had spent as much time ofnm the QS article as you have is to take a hard look at the SP article, and create a section for QS. I would then edit QS 'into it' in such a form that it looks and fees appropriate to be a section not a main article. I would take it with all references intact, and copy and paste it into the new section.
::Having done that I would place a message on the SP talk page with a heading <nowiki>==Quantium Solutions==</nowiki> and make a statement that I have added the text for QS into SP after spending some time and [[WP:AFC]] where a reviewer determined that this was an appropriate route to follow. Then I would walk quietly away and absolutely ignore any further editing to it.
::A final act would be to ask RH to create [[Quantium Solutions]] as a redirect to the ''section'' of SP, something he can do because he has the power to alter the protection on the QS page.
::At this point it is "Job Done". There is nothing left to do. [[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span>]] [[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span>]] 07:36, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
== regarding recent submission rejection ==
Hi there
Thanks for the quick review. I made some edits to the language and added a couple more references and hope the tone is neutral and acceptable.

:{{Ping|Bbrookler}} A great deal better in my eyes. The opening para about 'leading', though. You need to think "Dull but worthy" as of you were sitting suffering the most tedious powerpoint presentation of all time. Let me try:
:We have "''Flowboard is a leading interactive presentation app and platform built first for the iPad and web. Flowboard allows users to create, publish and share presentations through their cloud-based SaaS system. Flowboard is the first presentation software to allow embedding of PDFs, video and gallery objects in easy linkable screens, defining modern interactive presentations. Flowboard grew out of Treemo Labs.''"
:Now here's my go at it:
:"''Flowboard is an interactive presentation app and platform for the iPad and web. It allows users to create, publish and share presentations through their cloud-based SaaS system. Flowboard is the first presentation software to allow embedding of PDFs, video and gallery objects in easy linkable screens, defining modern interactive presentations<boy does that 'is the first' stuff need a reference, otherwise you have to lose the "is the first" element>. Flowboard is also the new name for Treemo Labs"''
:Not much different. A few subtle changes can remove advertorial and peacock words and render it dull and lifeless, or, as we say, [[WP:NPOV]]. And yes, I know precisely how hard this is. My career was in sales and marketing! If you can wrote for Wikipedia then your bullshit and hype (oops, "Marketing") will be far easier to write. A paradox, but it works.

:{{Ping|Bbrookler}} I fear there is no way of hastening a review. Since I have effectively participated in the article by offering very specific advice I don't feel able to re-review it myself, as I'm sure you appreciate. Whatever you do, do not re-re-resubmit it. As far as I can tell that changes the submission date to the day you do it and will ''delay'' the review. Most reviewers work from the oldest to the newest, though there are exceptions.

[[User:Bbrookler|Bbrookler]] ([[User talk:Bbrookler|talk]]) 20:04, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Bbrookler}} Many, but none would accede to a request to accelerate matters. This is one area where squeaky wheels tend to receive less oil than any of the others. I'm afraid Wikipedia is an exercise in patience. What I suggest is that, apart form improving the article as you find more references, you ignore it completely. I know Flowboard is your beloved child, but a wikipedia article is truly irrelevant to its commercial success. Treat it as "Job done" until it is reviewed
:By the way, as soon as it ''is'' accepted, leave it ''alone'' because at that point your [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] will become important. In Draft space it is far less so. There are mechanisms for asking for edits to a real article, and they avoid your doing it yourself.
:Let me suggest you have some fun. Edit other articles that interest you and improve them. Writing for WIkipedia is a huge challenge and will most definitely improve your own professional copywriting. I speak as a long term, now retired, specialist in bullshit and hype (Marketing!). Editing here meant I was better in real life. I was able to detach myself from the topic and produce what was needed in the tone required.

I guess I don't understand this yet.

Hi Timtrent,
I saw that you edited my article, which is great. Thanks for doing it so soon after submission. This is my article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Polystar
You left some comments which I'm not sure I fully understand. I think it would be beneficial for you to give specific examples of my issues with sources. I have used all the sources I had available, none of which are related to the subject of my article.
I don't mind revising it numerous times, but I need a little more help.

@Timtrent That's fine. Thanks. Is it Timtrent or Fiddle Faddle I'm writing to? Sorry, the 'User' code in your comments show "Timtrent". I intend to fix the broken links or find other sources. I wasn't sure why the 'Frost' reference was unacceptable, but now that you have explained I understand fully. Conclusions: more sources = better and avoid press releases in general. Thanks. Although I find the explanations of the articles you link to slightly difficult to put into practice. Thanks a lot. Guy
== Buyer (disambiguation) ==
I don't understand what you're saying. "The two pages..." There are four pages: [[buyer]], [[buyer (fashion)]], [[Franklin Pierce Buyer]], and [[Steve Buyer]]. All of them are on different topics, and [[buyer]] would appear to be [[WP:PTOPIC|primary]]. There's nothing in my submitted disambiguation page that belongs in the [[buyer]] article, except for the single lead sentence to clarify what the primary topic is, and that's normal. You wouldn't remove "A tree is a perennial woody plant" from [[tree (disambiguation)]] just because it's already in [[tree]]. If I would follow your advice and turn [[buyer]] into a disambiguation page, where would I put its current contents? We'd have to move the page (and then put a disambiguation page there), or we'd have to create a mess by [[Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves|performing a copy/paste move]].

== Question about linking to corporation website ==
Hi,
A draft I submitted ("Vident Financial") was rejected for the following reasons:
"The corporation's own web site is invalid as a reference. We require sourcing from significant coverage about the entity, and independent of it"
Obviously, I understand why information needs to come from a third party, but in this case it's literally just a description of the company. I've noticed a handful of other similar companies who use references to their own website for non-qualitative, technical descriptions of their operations. Any clarification you can offer on this point would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks in advance. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:TWTCommish|TWTCommish]] ([[User talk:TWTCommish|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TWTCommish|contribs]]) 17:07, 23 June 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:{{Ping|TWTCommish}} One may use the org;s own site ''sparingly'' as a reference, but you have it as 66.667% of your references. I quote understand why you would compare similar articles, but consider this: If we allow a poor article to set a precedent for accepting a new article the quality will degrade because the precedents degrade in quality. The trick to getting an article accepted here is to get many reliable and independent references. At present Vident is displayed as a run of the mill financial services company. While it does not need to be unique to merit a WIkipedia article it must be [[WP:N|notable]], and nothing in the article nor the references asserts notability.

:{{Ping|Timtrent}} 66.67% seems like a pretty loaded way to say "2 out of 3," especially given that the small number there is a reflection of the fact that it's a simple entry (which is by design, given that it was flagged for being too much like an advertisement when it was more detailed). As for noteworthiness, a perusal of coverage on ETF sites should more than establish that. I'll assume, then, that referencing another of these will suffice and will resubmit shortly.

== Aristedes Metallinos - rejected draft ==
Dear Timtrent. Thanks for your swift response on my latest draft on the laic (lay) sculptor Aristedes Zacharias Metallinos. Publications about this man are in Greek. I have been striving to arrive at accurate translation, hence the time I am taking. So far as I can discover only one of the references I quoted is on-line - the one by [[ http://www.gbip.gr/book/95557|Eurydice Antzoulatou-Retsila]]. This link refers to an edited compilation containing the relevant article about the subject, rather than the original article about Metallinos by the same author in 1985.
Eurydice Antzoulatou-Retsila (1985) ‘The folklore of Corfu in the art of the laic stone-sculptor Aristidi Metallinou’, article in ''Miriovivlos Periodical'', issue 7, pp. 37-47
[http://vikiretsila.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/evrydiki-antzoulatou-retsila.html Dr. Antzoulatou-Retsila's] reputation as a student, researcher and writer on the study of Hellenistic folklore is established. I am striving to contact her to see if there is an on-line transcript of her 24 page article (with images) about Metallinos. I'm relieved you say this is not essential to establish the artist's notability, but that more of what is written in this and the other article by Mari should be in my submission. Have I understood you correctly?
I will work, as you kindly suggest, on the Mari biography. This is a mere 130 words long (in Greek) containing a rather rough photo of the man's face as a young man and images of some of his sculptures. I can find no on-line record of this book, though I have held Mari's publication - a collection of biographies - in my hands. I will work on weaving this short biography more effectively into the Wikipedia draft.
Metallinos is an interesting man - an artisan who took to sculpture in stone and marble in the last 12 years of his life producing at least 250 works; worthy in my view, and I hope yours, of an entry in Wikipedia. Outside the academic articles I have found, Metallinos' work is almost unknown, being contained in a closed museum, where I have viewed them, in the village of the artist's birth.
Your continued tutelage would be valued. I have made several contributions to Wikipedia, but I am finding this the most challenging.

:{{Ping|Sibadd}} There is every reason to have references in Greek, they are allowed. However that does not help when one attempts to assess an article. IT will simply delay matters, but that is fine. Time we have. What we want to achieve is for the raft to be good enough to accept with small risk of nomination for deletion.

It looks as if 'my' article on Metallinos has been accepted, but I believe with you that the subject needs and deserves further verification in line with your advice above, i.e entry on Greek wikipedia, translation of available academic reference material woven into the piece and images of the artist's work that support the key concept of 'notability'. Thank you for your continued interest. I am encouraged to persevere with the article by Wiki's trust in my good faith in an untrustworthy world.

:{{Ping|Sibadd}} I'm not sure that what I see as premature acceptance has done you any favours, unfortunately. If someone nominates it for deletion at present, something I hope will not happen, it will limit your time to work. I prefer the quiet of the draft process to let people work unhindered by pressure. After all, time is a thing we all have. Go to it with a will, but not with a panic. You might want to open a dialogue with the editor who accepted. I usually trust his judgement. This time I am mildly concerned about the extra pressure he is putting you under. However, ''he'' may be intent on improving the article as well, of course, which would be an ''excellent'' outcome.

::It surprised me but temperamentally I don't expect 'nice' surprises, and fully intend to continue working along the lines you advise. So - yes - it is a favour, but as you say 'it may not be' - not least because I know you will be watching to see that the article is improved. I am puzzled at the moment as to how to upload an indicative image that at present I have on my blog - among other examples of the sculptors work on the lost pastoral life of a Greek village. He made ten reliefs of this kind, i.e. [http://democracystreet.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/ano-korakiana-in-relief.html Ano Korakiana in relief]. I have permission from the Metallinos family to display these on the internet. I have also had permission from Angeliki Metallinos, grand-daughter pf the sculptor, to place images of her grandfather's work in the public domain, available as 'creative commons' material in any article that might appear in Wikipedia. The sculptor intended his work to be a gift to the village of Ano Korakiana, leaving specific instructions that his work not to be divided or sold. It is this condition which I deeply respect but which makes establishing the sculptor's notability especially difficult. I have run photos of the work by members of the British Council and by other critics - Greek and British. They are intrigued and impressed by the work of the laic sculptor and believe it would be good if his achievements were known. Again many thanks for your tutelage.[[User:Sibadd|Simon Baddeley]] ([[User talk:Sibadd|talk]]) 11:35, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

== Tsogo Sun AfD ==
You're right, of course. I'll admit I was somewhat irritated at the time, mainly because my request to respeedy the damn thing had been declined, and thought it was probably better to just ping other people than to risk saying something out of line. Also, JamesBWatson had already expressed it far better than I ever would, and I fully expected that the people who had previously flagged or deleted this would speak up.
In case you didn't catch what he said....
{{quote|That left me with question "are there no suitable sources, or are there plenty of sources, but Alison, lacking experience of how Wikipedia works, has failed to provide them?" so, as I have said already, I made my own searches for sources. Unfortunately, I found very little that was at all helpful. For example, in a Google search for "Tsogo Sun", the first couple of pages of hits included the following: 11 pages at www.tsogosunhotels.com (clearly not an independent source); Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube (all of them not independent or not reliable or both); a page at www.bloomberg.com merely giving statistics relating to stocks and financial issue, not substantial coverage; a pdf file at www.discovery.co.za, which is clearly an advertising brochure; and so on... I had to search well down the list of hits before I found things such as http://www.iol.co.za/business/news/sabmiller-reviews-tsogo-sun-stake-1.1676630, which does appear to be an independent reliable source, but it is merely a news report that a business was "reviewing" its stake in Tsogo Sun, and could not possibly be regarded as substantial coverage of Tsogo Sun itself.
Wikipedia's notability criteria are often criticised, as many people see them as giving too much weight to subjects that are of trivial importance, but which receive a lot of popular attention, while giving too little weight to more solid subjects of a less popular kind. Many newcomers to editing Wikipedia are surprised to see that even quite a large and successful company may fail to satisfy Wikipedia's notability standards, while many people (including myself) think that Wikipedia gives a ridiculous amount of coverage to utter trivia, such as individual minor characters in cartoon series. However, assessing the subject according to what Wikipedia's guidelines are, rather than what you or I might think they should be, I'm afraid I really cannot see any evidence at all that Tsogo Sun comes anywhere near to satisfying those guidelines. That being so, any article on the subject, no matter how it might be written, would almost certainly be deleted. Saying such a negative thing may seem unfriendly, but in fact I think it would be much less friendly to give you false hope, by advising you on how to improve the article, thereby encouraging you to spend time and effort on it, which would be likely to be wasted time and effort, as the article would be likely to be deleted anyway. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk)5:07 am, 12 June 2014, Thursday (15 days ago) (UTC−5)}}
At the time he said that, I don't know if he was aware that the article had already been created, deleted, and REFUNDed under a different username, and I'm pretty sure he missed that her response was to just cut-and-paste it under a different capitalization.

== Trade Point and XM ==
Hi Tim,
Thanks very much for your feedback. I agree that it would be best to write an article for the holding company, Trade Point, and then spin off sections into other freestanding articles. For this reason, I have created an article about Trade Point, discussing strictly information about it and presenting its subsidiaries. Further, I cleaned up the article about XM which I wrote yesterday, removing all unnecessary information and references relating to other entities. I trust that the content is clearer now. Last, I have also found logos for both articles, but I understand these need to be added after the articles are approved.
I have just posted the article about Trade Point and resubmitted my article on XM. Could you please take a look and let me know if these two are OK now? Many thanks for your time.

Asking for a re-review because per the composers verification standards listed in wiki, we qualify. We've been music producers/writers on several gold/platinum selling albums (3LW's [[3LW_(album)|3LW]], Sisqo's [[Unleash_the_Dragon|Unleash The Dragon]] and more. We're cited all over wikipedia for all productions included in the very extensive discography. We included the article from the [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/gaga-manager-teams-industry-vets-94804 Hollywood reporter] making reference to our partnership with Troy Carter (Lady Gaga's ex manager) forming Atom Factory Music Licensing, verifying our music production status. We also included an article from [http://books.google.com/books?id=wRQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA51&lpg=PA51&dq=Neely+Dinkins+billboard&source=bl&ots=-M814Pd8DU&sig=gKuEOpczgJkwmzHFjFH8BYhKCk0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vLmuU6CtE8f5oASW9IDQAw&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Neely%20Dinkins%20billboard&f=false billboard magazine August 13, 2005 issue], where they interviewed us. Not sure of how to provide better reliable sources than those digitally. Music Production credit's (i.e Produced by The Co-Stars) aren't very accessible online. Should be fair to estimate via the reliable sources provided and the amount pages showing us as music producers inside wiki. Not sure if you were confused because we labeled the page as The Co-Stars Ent., Inc (our complete legal corporation name)?

Thanks for the super fast review of the page. I've looked it over and replaced the references with more diverse ones (not from the Flagship site). I hope it is good enough now.

Sir,
I have spent a lot of time studying biofuels and the latest generation of biofuels;
The article involves news and research on the second generation of biofuels and I thought that this would be of particular interest to the Scientific Community worldwide given the current focus on Energy and Fuels.
Also, Wikipedia does not have an article on Drop-in Fuels and the technology that goes with it.
Please advise what changes were required from my side.

Dear Sir,
I have discussed in my article the latest advances in the bio-fuels market and introduced to readers the concept of drop-in technology.
Though a lot of people are aware of biofuels, advanced biofuels or drop-in fuels is a very recent development.
I have scoured news articles, scientific research papers and governmental agency websites to select a few that readers will surely find interesting.
I am new to Wikipedia and might have made some mistakes during submission which I have fail to notice and thus am requesting your assistance.

Dear Timtrent, I've removed the two categories as you suggested. With regard to the multiple references, I put them at the end of the sentence but they don't just refer to Columbia University for example. They refer to the whole list of organisations. Please check the references, you will find that they are all necessary because each of them refers to one or more (but not all) organisations in the list).

Hi Timtrent, thank you for your review. I understood that most of my references in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:QNAP_Systems,_Inc. are about the products not the company as you pointed out.

Ah yes--I do see now! Sorry, not used to the Wikipedia interface. I based the article pretty closely on those of other tech consultancies and tried to make it as unbiased as possible. I didn't say anything remotely subjective--just the facts. Is there a way to make it more encyclopedia-appropriate?
:Never base anything on any other article. Aim higher! The primary thing is references. Find cracking good ones, then wrote your article around what they say. Remember the golden rule, all of which apply. They must be:
:* significant coverage, and
:* about the entity, and

:Any other references fail and must go.
:Make sure you write "Dull but worthy" material based on the facts ''others'' would like to read, not trade puffery ''you'' would like them to read.
:Be prepared for the fact that it may not be a notable entity. Not every org merits an article. If it doesn't now, if it is any good it will at some point.

Hello,
I must have submitted the page twice by mistake. But when I click on the link to the other submission, the page is blank. So what to do now?
No news yet from anyone...
Thanks for your help.

:{{Ping|Rupert4471}} I'm confused. I see [[User:Rupert4471/sandbox]] which is a duplicate of [[Draft:Ulf Langheinrich]], and both appear when I click them. Is this what you are talking about? Once I have it right in my mind I will help you all I am able to.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I am pretty sure to be the author of both articles. Do you see an IP address for [[Draft:Ulf Langheinrich]] ? This first one hasn't been reviewed yet and now the situation seems to be blocked because of my mistake. Anyway I cannot see the content of [[Draft:Ulf Langheinrich]] because it is empty. Strange... isn't it possible to remove the first to go ahead?
Thanks again for your help.

==Message from Patriarch2013==
Dear Timtrent,
I appreciate your comments regarding the deficiencies you found in the draft article. However, your comments and suggestions, like all those I have received during the considerable amount of time I have spent attainmenting top place this article, are mutually contradictory. I have stripped out and modified all text with even the slightest hint of marketing tone, as was requested in previous critiques. I have removed all references that were not from legitimate, respected, independent and well-established sources. Now even that is not enough. I'm sorry you don't know what the company does, but your particular lack of recognition is irrelevant. All terms of art are cross linked to other Wikipedia articles. It is beyond imagining that any reader, coming upon this article by chance, would care one wit that the purpose and nature of eFront software was not immediately understandable. Only those readers with knowledge of and interest in the industry will have any use for the content of the article.
Suppose I altered the opening paragraph to read "eFront Financial Solutions is a software provider for the alternative investments and risk management areas of the financial services industry[1]. Its web-based software products automate many accounting, management and operational functions of private equity, venture capital and other alternative investment management firms. It was founded in 1999 and now serves more than 700 customers in 40 countries from offices in North America, South America, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia." Would that be acceptable? Even if it is, I am still left with the problem of providing acceptable references. Unfortunately, the references I chose are the only ones that meet the requirements. I have no other to offer at this time and, as I said earlier, all are from established and independent sources. True, they are industry-specific sources, but that would be the case with nearly all companies, especially privately-held companies, not listed in the Fortune 1000.
So please, before I give in to frustration and abandon Wikipedia completely, tell me what I really need to do to have this article approved!
Thank you,

:{{Ping|Patriarch2013}} Minor moan. PLEASE use a section when you start a brand new conversation on a talk page. I had to work out where your message started and the prior one finished, and please link to your article. I have found [[Draft:EFront Financial Solutions]] and thus assume it to be this one.
:I have looked at the prior reviews. They and I seem to be in accord. Thus I am having trouble with understanding what is mutually contradictory. But let us leave that behind. It is no longer relevant. We move forward now
:The thing you may have to accept, even after your sterling efforts, is that if references cannot be found which are:
:*' 'Significant coverage'', and
:* ''About'' the organisation, and
:* ''Independent of it'', and
:* in [[WP:RS]]''
:then you have to conclude that I am mistaken and the organisation is not [[WP:N}] notable in a Wikipedia sense, at least today. WIth your references, examine them minutely. If you are satisfied that they make the grade, then I will accept the article, despite my feeling it to be vulnerable. But you are as grown up as am I, and can take it if the article is nominated for deletion, something I hope will not happen. My next paragraph on your alternate first para tips my scales in its favour
:Your alternate first paragraph ''tells me with precision'' what it does. Please understand that whether in real life I know or can research what it makes and sells is unimportant. When I review an article I speak as an ordinary reader when I say that I do not know. Now, from the new paragraph, yes, I know.
:So resubmit after makng that change, and tell me here that you have done so. I will accept it and we will both be happy. Deal? [[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span>]] [[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span>]] 19:43, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

== Decline of Quantium Solutions (draft) ==
Hi Timtrent, would like to clarify that for the university report, it is a published case under Institutional Knowledge(InK) by a reputable university in Singapore (SMU) and its contents are available on many OAI-POH platforms such as Google Scholar. I think this source qualifies as a reputable one? Please advice, thanks! [[User:Fuzzster87|Fuzzster87]] ([[User talk:Fuzzster87|talk]]) 06:37, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} I wonder why you have not linked to the article. It is at [[Draft:Quantium Solutions]]
:But I asked if it had been peer reviewed, not who had published it. Peer reviewed or not, you need more references from [[WP:RS]] for the article to go forward. If you do not it will be challenged there and, potentially, deleted. Being asked to edity now is much more plesant than having to defend against deletion.
:Find more references. We require sourcing from significant coverage about the entity, and independent of it, and in [[WP:RS]] please. Then resubmit it after removing any doubtful ones. I try very hard not to re-review articles. You need more eyes than my own, so I am unlikely to re-review it.

:{{Ping|Timtrent}} Firstly would like to thank you for taking the time and effort to discuss on each individual source and on its credibility. It has been really helpful. I am trying to find at least one more justifiable source to make this article substantial enough. Will notify you when I have resubmitted it. Just for information, it is alright for me to label this article as a stub so that others can work on it in future - ie. when Quantium Solutions undergo new developments etc. Let me know thanks! [[User:Fuzzster87|Fuzzster87]] ([[User talk:Fuzzster87|talk]]) 02:33, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
::{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} The stub flagging is really an esoteric way of saying "This is a short article." and it is fine if you label it. It does not mean that anyone will work ion itr for ages.

::{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} It looks as if it has been a hard, hard search. If I were to re-review the article now I would have a problem with http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/21/ny-payoneer-idUSnBw216463a+100+BSW20140121 since it is a press release. http://postandparcel.info/31135/news/singpost-“cautiously-optimistic”-after-3q-results/ is fine for me, but ok. It has the look and feel of PR material, but seems to be a report of the formal annual report. If you want to remove the press release one and resubmit and let me know I would feel able to accept it. BUT there is no guarantee that others will feel the same once it is an accepted article, and you should keep seeking and adding references that are independent of Quantium.

::{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} Nothing wrong with the format. We have an issue harder to solve.

::{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} You are suffering from multiple creations of the same article. Normally it is not this hard. Normally one creates a draft, fixes most things, and it is accepted, even if there is some way to go towards perfection, even if the reviewer you meet is as pedantic as am I.
::What he is suggesting is that you merge the information into the other article, adding a section if necessary. Now he may not be right. None of us needs to be right. I suggest the route forward is to consider his suggestion and to open a dialogue with him. As you know, were it not for the history, I would have accepted the article. However, a thing to know is that, once an article, ''anything'' can happen to it, including someone else merging it into the other article. I would have not objected had it been merged subsequently.
::Wikipedia can be subjective, yes. The concept is a mixed blessing and the alleged wisdom of crowds can result in moronic stupidity.
::That is not the case here at all, that is a general remark, born out of frustration with seeing it at times. {{U|RHaworth}} is a careful and considered admin, and what he says is well worth weighing and discussing, much like you and I are discussing matters. Approach him for advice on his talk page and acknowledge to yourself that either he or you, or neither of you may be correct. There is a route forward. The finding of it is the fun of the chase.

:{{Ping|Timtrent}} Hi, thanks for the reply. I have actually initated a talk with him previously when I first submitted the article, but at that time I submitted it directly (was not aware of this submit a draft first option). However instead of getting advice the talk became a heated discussion as archived here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RHaworth/2014_May_22#Deletion_of_Quantium_Solutions. I will still try to initiate a conversation as I have very much improved on the article compared to my previous submission, thanks to your help. Just wanted to clarify what you meant as "merge"? I'm wondering if I add a few liners on Singapore Post wikipedia about QS, and link it out as a stub for others to add on it, will that be plausible? Once again, thanks! [[User:Fuzzster87|Fuzzster87]] ([[User talk:Fuzzster87|talk]]) 02:52, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
::{{Ping|Fuzzster87}} What I would do if I had spent as much time ofnm the QS article as you have is to take a hard look at the SP article, and create a section for QS. I would then edit QS 'into it' in such a form that it looks and fees appropriate to be a section not a main article. I would take it with all references intact, and copy and paste it into the new section.
::Having done that I would place a message on the SP talk page with a heading <nowiki>==Quantium Solutions==</nowiki> and make a statement that I have added the text for QS into SP after spending some time and [[WP:AFC]] where a reviewer determined that this was an appropriate route to follow. Then I would walk quietly away and absolutely ignore any further editing to it.
::A final act would be to ask RH to create [[Quantium Solutions]] as a redirect to the ''section'' of SP, something he can do because he has the power to alter the protection on the QS page.
::At this point it is "Job Done". There is nothing left to do. [[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span>]] [[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span>]] 07:36, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi there
Thanks for the quick review. I made some edits to the language and added a couple more references and hope the tone is neutral and acceptable.

:{{Ping|Bbrookler}} A great deal better in my eyes. The opening para about 'leading', though. You need to think "Dull but worthy" as of you were sitting suffering the most tedious powerpoint presentation of all time. Let me try:
:We have "''Flowboard is a leading interactive presentation app and platform built first for the iPad and web. Flowboard allows users to create, publish and share presentations through their cloud-based SaaS system. Flowboard is the first presentation software to allow embedding of PDFs, video and gallery objects in easy linkable screens, defining modern interactive presentations. Flowboard grew out of Treemo Labs.''"
:Now here's my go at it:
:"''Flowboard is an interactive presentation app and platform for the iPad and web. It allows users to create, publish and share presentations through their cloud-based SaaS system.

Flowboard is also the new name for Treemo Labs"''
:Not much different. A few subtle changes can remove advertorial and peacock words and render it dull and lifeless, or, as we say, [[WP:NPOV]]. And yes, I know precisely how hard this is. My career was in sales and marketing! If you can wrote for Wikipedia then your bullshit and hype (oops, "Marketing") will be far easier to write. A paradox, but it works.

:{{Ping|Bbrookler}} I fear there is no way of hastening a review. Since I have effectively participated in the article by offering very specific advice I don't feel able to re-review it myself, as I'm sure you appreciate. Whatever you do, do not re-re-resubmit it. As far as I can tell that changes the submission date to the day you do it and will ''delay'' the review. Most reviewers work from the oldest to the newest, though there are exceptions.

[[User:Bbrookler|Bbrookler]] ([[User talk:Bbrookler|talk]]) 20:04, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Bbrookler}} Many, but none would accede to a request to accelerate matters. This is one area where squeaky wheels tend to receive less oil than any of the others. I'm afraid Wikipedia is an exercise in patience. What I suggest is that, apart form improving the article as you find more references, you ignore it completely. I know Flowboard is your beloved child, but a wikipedia article is truly irrelevant to its commercial success. Treat it as "Job done" until it is reviewed
:By the way, as soon as it ''is'' accepted, leave it ''alone'' because at that point your [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] will become important. In Draft space it is far less so. There are mechanisms for asking for edits to a real article, and they avoid your doing it yourself.
:Let me suggest you have some fun. Edit other articles that interest you and improve them. Writing for WIkipedia is a huge challenge and will most definitely improve your own professional copywriting. I speak as a long term, now retired, specialist in bullshit and hype (Marketing!).

:{{Ping|Guy redmil}} Before I go into any more detail, of which there is not much, did you read the specific comment under the 'decline' boxes?

@Timtrent Yes, I have read those comments and the links. If you were to provide examples using my article it would be easier to understand entirely what I need to change. While I don't mind revising the article numerous times, it would be better to make all necessary changes at once. Please advise. Guy

@Timtrent That's fine. Thanks. Is it Timtrent or Fiddle Faddle I'm writing to? Sorry, the 'User' code in your comments show "Timtrent". I intend to fix the broken links or find other sources. I wasn't sure why the 'Frost' reference was unacceptable, but now that you have explained I understand fully. Conclusions: more sources = better and avoid press releases in general. Thanks. Although I find the explanations of the articles you link to slightly difficult to put into practice. Thanks a lot. Guy
== Buyer (disambiguation) ==
I don't understand what you're saying. "The two pages..." There are four pages: [[buyer]], [[buyer (fashion)]], [[Franklin Pierce Buyer]], and [[Steve Buyer]]. All of them are on different topics, and [[buyer]] would appear to be [[WP:PTOPIC|primary]]. There's nothing in my submitted disambiguation page that belongs in the [[buyer]] article, except for the single lead sentence to clarify what the primary topic is, and that's normal. You wouldn't remove "A tree is a perennial woody plant" from [[tree (disambiguation)]] just because it's already in [[tree]]. If I would follow your advice and turn [[buyer]] into a disambiguation page, where would I put its current contents? We'd have to move the page (and then put a disambiguation page there), or we'd have to create a mess by [[Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves|performing a copy/paste move]].

== Question about linking to corporation website ==
Hi,
A draft I submitted ("Vident Financial") was rejected for the following reasons:
"The corporation's own web site is invalid as a reference. We require sourcing from significant coverage about the entity, and independent of it"
Obviously, I understand why information needs to come from a third party, but in this case it's literally just a description of the company. I've noticed a handful of other similar companies who use references to their own website for non-qualitative, technical descriptions of their operations. Any clarification you can offer on this point would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks in advance. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:TWTCommish|TWTCommish]] ([[User talk:TWTCommish|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TWTCommish|contribs]]) 17:07, 23 June 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:{{Ping|TWTCommish}} One may use the org;s own site ''sparingly'' as a reference, but you have it as 66.667% of your references. I quote understand why you would compare similar articles, but consider this: If we allow a poor article to set a precedent for accepting a new article the quality will degrade because the precedents degrade in quality. The trick to getting an article accepted here is to get many reliable and independent references. At present Vident is displayed as a run of the mill financial services company. While it does not need to be unique to merit a WIkipedia article it must be [[WP:N|notable]], and nothing in the article nor the references asserts notability.

:{{Ping|Timtrent}} 66.67% seems like a pretty loaded way to say "2 out of 3," especially given that the small number there is a reflection of the fact that it's a simple entry (which is by design, given that it was flagged for being too much like an advertisement when it was more detailed). As for noteworthiness, a perusal of coverage on ETF sites should more than establish that. I'll assume, then, that referencing another of these will suffice and will resubmit shortly.

== Aristedes Metallinos - rejected draft ==
Dear Timtrent. Thanks for your swift response on my latest draft on the laic (lay) sculptor Aristedes Zacharias Metallinos. Publications about this man are in Greek. I have been striving to arrive at accurate translation, hence the time I am taking. So far as I can discover only one of the references I quoted is on-line - the one by [[ http://www.gbip.gr/book/95557|Eurydice Antzoulatou-Retsila]]. This link refers to an edited compilation containing the relevant article about the subject, rather than the original article about Metallinos by the same author in 1985.
Eurydice Antzoulatou-Retsila (1985) ‘The folklore of Corfu in the art of the laic stone-sculptor Aristidi Metallinou’, article in ''Miriovivlos Periodical'', issue 7, pp. 37-47
[http://vikiretsila.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/evrydiki-antzoulatou-retsila.html Dr. Antzoulatou-Retsila's] reputation as a student, researcher and writer on the study of Hellenistic folklore is established. I am striving to contact her to see if there is an on-line transcript of her 24 page article (with images) about Metallinos. I'm relieved you say this is not essential to establish the artist's notability, but that more of what is written in this and the other article by Mari should be in my submission. Have I understood you correctly?
I will work, as you kindly suggest, on the Mari biography. This is a mere 130 words long (in Greek) containing a rather rough photo of the man's face as a young man and images of some of his sculptures. I can find no on-line record of this book, though I have held Mari's publication - a collection of biographies - in my hands. I will work on weaving this short biography more effectively into the Wikipedia draft.
Metallinos is an interesting man - an artisan who took to sculpture in stone and marble in the last 12 years of his life producing at least 250 works; worthy in my view, and I hope yours, of an entry in Wikipedia. Outside the academic articles I have found, Metallinos' work is almost unknown, being contained in a closed museum, where I have viewed them, in the village of the artist's birth.
Your continued tutelage would be valued. I have made several contributions to Wikipedia, but I am finding this the most challenging.

It looks as if 'my' article on Metallinos has been accepted, but I believe with you that the subject needs and deserves further verification in line with your advice above, i.e entry on Greek wikipedia, translation of available academic reference material woven into the piece and images of the artist's work that support the key concept of 'notability'.

:{{Ping|Sibadd}} I'm not sure that what I see as premature acceptance has done you any favours, unfortunately. If someone nominates it for deletion at present, something I hope will not happen, it will limit your time to work. I prefer the quiet of the draft process to let people work unhindered by pressure. After all, time is a thing we all have. Go to it with a will, but not with a panic. You might want to open a dialogue with the editor who accepted. I usually trust his judgement. This time I am mildly concerned about the extra pressure he is putting you under. However, ''he'' may be intent on improving the article as well, of course, which would be an ''excellent'' outcome.

::It surprised me but temperamentally I don't expect 'nice' surprises, and fully intend to continue working along the lines you advise. So - yes - it is a favour, but as you say 'it may not be' - not least because I know you will be watching to see that the article is improved. I am puzzled at the moment as to how to upload an indicative image that at present I have on my blog - among other examples of the sculptors work on the lost pastoral life of a Greek village. He made ten reliefs of this kind, i.e. [http://democracystreet.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/ano-korakiana-in-relief.html Ano Korakiana in relief]. I have permission from the Metallinos family to display these on the internet. I have also had permission from Angeliki Metallinos, grand-daughter pf the sculptor, to place images of her grandfather's work in the public domain, available as 'creative commons' material in any article that might appear in Wikipedia. The sculptor intended his work to be a gift to the village of Ano Korakiana, leaving specific instructions that his work not to be divided or sold. It is this condition which I deeply respect but which makes establishing the sculptor's notability especially difficult. I have run photos of the work by members of the British Council and by other critics - Greek and British. They are intrigued and impressed by the work of the laic sculptor and believe it would be good if his achievements were known.

== Tsogo Sun AfD ==
You're right, of course. I'll admit I was somewhat irritated at the time, mainly because my request to respeedy the damn thing had been declined, and thought it was probably better to just ping other people than to risk saying something out of line. Also, JamesBWatson had already expressed it far better than I ever would, and I fully expected that the people who had previously flagged or deleted this would speak up.
In case you didn't catch what he said....
{{quote|That left me with question "are there no suitable sources, or are there plenty of sources, but Alison, lacking experience of how Wikipedia works, has failed to provide them?" so, as I have said already, I made my own searches for sources. Unfortunately, I found very little that was at all helpful. For example, in a Google search for "Tsogo Sun", the first couple of pages of hits included the following: 11 pages at www.tsogosunhotels.com (clearly not an independent source); Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube (all of them not independent or not reliable or both); a page at www.bloomberg.com merely giving statistics relating to stocks and financial issue, not substantial coverage; a pdf file at www.discovery.co.za, which is clearly an advertising brochure; and so on... I had to search well down the list of hits before I found things such as http://www.iol.co.za/business/news/sabmiller-reviews-tsogo-sun-stake-1.1676630, which does appear to be an independent reliable source, but it is merely a news report that a business was "reviewing" its stake in Tsogo Sun, and could not possibly be regarded as substantial coverage of Tsogo Sun itself.
Wikipedia's notability criteria are often criticised, as many people see them as giving too much weight to subjects that are of trivial importance, but which receive a lot of popular attention, while giving too little weight to more solid subjects of a less popular kind. Many newcomers to editing Wikipedia are surprised to see that even quite a large and successful company may fail to satisfy Wikipedia's notability standards, while many people (including myself) think that Wikipedia gives a ridiculous amount of coverage to utter trivia, such as individual minor characters in cartoon series. However, assessing the subject according to what Wikipedia's guidelines are, rather than what you or I might think they should be, I'm afraid I really cannot see any evidence at all that Tsogo Sun comes anywhere near to satisfying those guidelines. That being so, any article on the subject, no matter how it might be written, would almost certainly be deleted. Saying such a negative thing may seem unfriendly, but in fact I think it would be much less friendly to give you false hope, by advising you on how to improve the article, thereby encouraging you to spend time and effort on it, which would be likely to be wasted time and effort, as the article would be likely to be deleted anyway.

== Trade Point and XM ==
Hi Tim,
Thanks very much for your feedback. I agree that it would be best to write an article for the holding company, Trade Point, and then spin off sections into other freestanding articles. For this reason, I have created an article about Trade Point, discussing strictly information about it and presenting its subsidiaries. Further, I cleaned up the article about XM which I wrote yesterday, removing all unnecessary information and references relating to other entities. I trust that the content is clearer now. Last, I have also found logos for both articles, but I understand these need to be added after the articles are approved.
I have just posted the article about Trade Point and resubmitted my article on XM. Could you please take a look and let me know if these two are OK now? Many thanks for your time.

:{{Ping|:Cmanoli}} I've reviewed the new draft. It has a few issues, but I think neither of us are surprised by that Review is an iterative process, and it may take a couple more goes to get it right. XM is much improved. There is a red error in the references. Are you able to correct that or do you need help? I suggest waiting until Trading Point is accepted before resubmitting XM. There are lessons you will learn and be able to put into practice. Time is a commodity that we have in plenty, and there is no rush.

Thanks so much for your time and your feedback. This is my first time posting a new wikipedia article, so I am definitely still learning how to write an appropriate article. I can see what you mean about the issues with the entry I submitted. I tried my best to take out a lot of the sections in which I come to conclusions without outside sources. I saved this newly cut down version in my sandbox. If I resubmit will this second submission go to you again? Or should I post it here?

Asking for a re-review because per the composers verification standards listed in wiki, we qualify. We've been music producers/writers on several gold/platinum selling albums (3LW's [[3LW_(album)|3LW]], Sisqo's [[Unleash_the_Dragon|Unleash The Dragon]] and more. We're cited all over wikipedia for all productions included in the very extensive discography. We included the article from the [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/gaga-manager-teams-industry-vets-94804 Hollywood reporter] making reference to our partnership with Troy Carter (Lady Gaga's ex manager) forming Atom Factory Music Licensing, verifying our music production status. We also included an article from [http://books.google.com/books?id=wRQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA51&lpg=PA51&dq=Neely+Dinkins+billboard&source=bl&ots=-M814Pd8DU&sig=gKuEOpczgJkwmzHFjFH8BYhKCk0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vLmuU6CtE8f5oASW9IDQAw&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Neely%20Dinkins%20billboard&f=false billboard magazine August 13, 2005 issue], where they interviewed us. Not sure of how to provide better reliable sources than those digitally. Music Production credit's (i.e Produced by The Co-Stars) aren't very accessible online. Should be fair to estimate via the reliable sources provided and the amount pages showing us as music producers inside wiki. Not sure if you were confused because we labeled the page as The Co-Stars Ent., Inc (our complete legal corporation name)? If so, we can just use The Co-Stars for the wikipedia page, if that's more verifyable.

Sir,
I have spent a lot of time studying biofuels and the latest generation of biofuels;
The article involves news and research on the second generation of biofuels and I thought that this would be of particular interest to the Scientific Community worldwide given the current focus on Energy and Fuels.
Also, Wikipedia does not have an article on Drop-in Fuels and the technology that goes with it.
Please advise what changes were required from my side.

I have discussed in my article the latest advances in the bio-fuels market and introduced to readers the concept of drop-in technology.
Though a lot of people are aware of biofuels, advanced biofuels or drop-in fuels is a very recent development.

Hi Timtrent, thank you for your review. I understood that most of my references in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:QNAP_Systems,_Inc. are about the products not the company as you pointed out. I would like to know how I can improve because this is the fact--we do have lots of news/media talking about our products, but not much on the company. However, we are one of the major & notable players in this industry (and I noticed other brands also have similar structure as ours but still accepted by wikipedia); also mentioned in several wikipages labeling us as "large NAS manufacturers". " Are there any tips or directions I can work on to make this page online? Please kindly advise. Thank you very much!

:{{Ping|Bondachs}} I'm wondering how to advise you better than I have. Please never compare an article on one org with an article on another org. The objective is to increase the standard of the articles, always a good thing. If we used other poor articles as a precedent the standard would lower. [[Idiocracy]] is a great illustrator of this. The submit/review process is meant to seek to ensure that an article is not vulnerable to deletion.
:The tips are simple, basic, even. We need references as I've stated, showing notability, and the article will leap into the main article space. But they must be about the corporation. [[User:timtrent/A good article]] may help a little. [[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span>]] [[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span>]] 16:21, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Timtrent,
This is regarding my draft article on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Meghna_Patel Meghna Patel]
Please help me to understand what more I need to add to my article to get your approval. I have added citations linking to youtube is there any other source you would like me to add.
Thanks,

I'm trying to cite the two sentences in the second paragraph and am having trouble linking the [cite] at the end of the sentence to the [1], [2] at the bottom under references. I have all the news articles properly filled out under the "named references/cite news" template, but when I click on the [1] or [2] nothing happens. Can you help? Thanks

Ah yes--I do see now! Sorry, not used to the Wikipedia interface. I based the article pretty closely on those of other tech consultancies and tried to make it as unbiased as possible. I didn't say anything remotely subjective--just the facts. Is there a way to make it more encyclopedia-appropriate?
:Never base anything on any other article. Aim higher! The primary thing is references. Find cracking good ones, then wrote your article around what they say. Remember the golden rule, all of which apply. They must be:
:* significant coverage, and
:* about the entity, and
:* in [[WP:RS]]
:Any other references fail and must go.
:Make sure you write "Dull but worthy" material based on the facts ''others'' would like to read, not trade puffery ''you'' would like them to read.
:Be prepared for the fact that it may not be a notable entity. Not every org merits an article. If it doesn't now, if it is any good it will at some point.
:By the way, registering an account is useful. Just don;t make it look like a corporation. It grants extra privileges. You'll like it. [[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span>]] [[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span>]] 22:14, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

:{{Ping|Rupert4471}} I'm confused. I see [[User:Rupert4471/sandbox]] which is a duplicate of [[Draft:Ulf Langheinrich]], and both appear when I click them. Is this what you are talking about?

Thank you for your prompt reply. I am pretty sure to be the author of both articles. Do you see an IP address for [[Draft:Ulf Langheinrich]] ? This first one hasn't been reviewed yet and now the situation seems to be blocked because of my mistake. Anyway I cannot see the content of [[Draft:Ulf Langheinrich]] because it is empty. Strange... isn't it possible to remove the first to go ahead?

==Message from Patriarch2013==
Dear Timtrent,
I appreciate your comments regarding the deficiencies you found in the draft article. However, your comments and suggestions, like all those I have received during the considerable amount of time I have spent attainmenting top place this article, are mutually contradictory. I have stripped out and modified all text with even the slightest hint of marketing tone, as was requested in previous critiques. I have removed all references that were not from legitimate, respected, independent and well-established sources. Now even that is not enough. I'm sorry you don't know what the company does, but your particular lack of recognition is irrelevant. All terms of art are cross linked to other Wikipedia articles. It is beyond imagining that any reader, coming upon this article by chance, would care one wit that the purpose and nature of eFront software was not immediately understandable. Only those readers with knowledge of and interest in the industry will have any use for the content of the article.
Suppose I altered the opening paragraph to read "eFront Financial Solutions is a software provider for the alternative investments and risk management areas of the financial services industry[1]. Its web-based software products automate many accounting, management and operational functions of private equity, venture capital and other alternative investment management firms. It was founded in 1999 and now serves more than 700 customers in 40 countries from offices in North America, South America, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia." Would that be acceptable? Even if it is, I am still left with the problem of providing acceptable references. Unfortunately, the references I chose are the only ones that meet the requirements. I have no other to offer at this time and, as I said earlier, all are from established and independent sources. True, they are industry-specific sources, but that would be the case with nearly all companies, especially privately-held companies, not listed in the Fortune 1000.
So please, before I give in to frustration and abandon Wikipedia completely, tell me what I really need to do to have this article approved!
Thank you,

:{{Ping|Patriarch2013}} Minor moan. PLEASE use a section when you start a brand new conversation on a talk page. I had to work out where your message started and the prior one finished, and please link to your article. I have found [[Draft:EFront Financial Solutions]] and thus assume it to be this one.
:I have looked at the prior reviews. They and I seem to be in accord. Thus I am having trouble with understanding what is mutually contradictory. But let us leave that behind. It is no longer relevant. We move forward now
:The thing you may have to accept, even after your sterling efforts, is that if references cannot be found which are:
:*' 'Significant coverage'', and
:* ''About'' the organisation, and
:* ''Independent of it'', and
:* in [[WP:RS]]''
:then you have to conclude that I am mistaken and the organisation is not [[WP:N}] notable in a Wikipedia sense, at least today. WIth your references, examine them minutely. If you are satisfied that they make the grade, then I will accept the article, despite my feeling it to be vulnerable. But you are as grown up as am I, and can take it if the article is nominated for deletion, something I hope will not happen. My next paragraph on your alternate first para tips my scales in its favour
:Your alternate first paragraph ''tells me with precision'' what it does. Please understand that whether in real life I know or can research what it makes and sells is unimportant. When I review an article I speak as an ordinary reader when I say that I do not know. Now, from the new paragraph, yes, I know.
:So resubmit after makng that change, and tell me here that you have done so. I will accept it and we will both be happy. Deal? [[User:Timtrent|<span style="color:#800">Fiddle</span>]] [[User talk:Timtrent|<span style="color:#070">Faddle</span>]] 19:43, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
