Hello! Your submission of Scott G. Borg at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:29, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
On 5 March 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article J.E. Rhoads & Sons, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that until it closed in 2009, J.E. Rhoads & Sons was the longest continually-operating company in the United States, having been in business for more than three centuries? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/J.E. Rhoads & Sons. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, J.E. Rhoads & Sons), 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 Chestford,
I am quite distressed due to the fact that the article Draft:Khethukuthula Mbonambi was rejected because my references were unreliable and none notable. I took that in to account and I have added at least 2 news citations from Africa's second biggest news channel (eNCA|url=https://www.enca.com) and one from the Huffington Post South Africa. I have also avoided using references from his personal website to avoid conflict of interest since the does not meet Wikipedia's Reliable Sources Criteria. Please advice me further if these are also not enough to substantiate the information provided in the article.Professor Sbonelo Mhlongo 17:20, 5 March 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mightyprof7 (talk • contribs)
Will removing the link be sufficient for approval? Providing proof of a person's early life when it's not well documented by public sources can be impossible.

I've submitted another reference that is more credible. Is there a specific reference or area of the article that needs a better reference? I am unsure as to which references are not credible enough as I am new to Wikipedia Chkim88 (talk) 15:24, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Emanuel Moravec you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Sturmvogel 66 -- Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:20, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Talk:Collaboration with the Axis Powers during World War II. Legobot (talk) 04:24, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
I am contacting you here rather than on Talk:Collaboration with the Axis Powers during World War II as I don't have a (further) fully-formed argument for that page. I am interested in your choice of definition of collaboration (and I note you have cited sources). In my view, the definition should be broad. I don't know if you are familiar with the many images, in liberated WW2 Europe, of the girlfriends of German soldiers having their heads shaved to label them as collaborators. Certainly those who carried out or witnessed such acts had no doubt that the women involved were collaborators - yet this is certainly not any sort of government-authorised activity. Similarly, when British POWs were liberated, they were asked for details of collaboration by any other POWs. Books written by POWs refer to a few individuals who chose to collaborate.
So the definition seems to stretch from the Vichy government and all the subordinate government agencies (obvious state involvement, although only a puppet government), through those who volunteered to join, e.g., the Lithuanian Security Police and thereby participate in the Holocaust (I do not know how government sponsored this was, but it was an organisation recruited for the purpose - those perpetrators had a choice), to women who had boyfriends in the occupying forces, thereby earning the contempt of their compatriots. And there are probably lots of other examples in various shades of grey. The problem is that some academic writers have applied definitions so that their books make sense, but rather ignoring the contemporary or common usages. (And it is a failing of Wikipedia that definitions are sometimes picked out that, in the source, say "for the purposes of this book/study/paper, the definition of ..... is ...".)
My purpose in contacting you is to see if you think my concerns about the article's definition, and the academic definitions that you cite, are reasonable (even if you do not agree with me). I am hoping your answer would help me develop my arguments (or, even, abandon them).

I see that you have rejected the page for being too much like an advertisement, but that seems far from accurate. The post focuses on a tractor restoration event for kids that has existed for 20 years. For those in rural America, this sort of thing is interesting and is a known quantity. The vast majority links in the post target coverage that highlights individuals that have participated in the event. Very few lead to content from past or present sponsors. There is more of a commercial tie to a Wikipedia post about something like the Bonnaroo Music Festival or Burning Man, which sell tickets to generate revenue, so their posts act as an advertisement to some extent. The event has no tickets, generates not revenue, and for all but the winners cost money to participate in. This lists past winners of the event, similar to results pages for Olympic events, elections or sporting leagues. Admittedly, tractor restoration is a very rural America activity, and not high in the minds of those in urban centers, but its an event with a history that is significant to many. The references to sponsors are limited and only used when relevant and most links point to coverage of individual participants in an effort to show that the event is about participants, not the sponsor and also that the event has been around for years and has generated coverage in publications like the NYT and WSJ. Perhaps if you could provide examples of where I have clearly overstepped a boundary, it would help, but please don't dismiss the post based on the fact that there is a brand associated with it, especially when the brand isn't the focus of the post.

I am new, and do not understand the review of draft:Dioxide Materials.
It is certainly true that the section on newspapers was designed to verify notability, and should be deleted before final review, but there are independent sources for all of the statements in the article. I am not sure how it is an advertisement.
Hi, Chetsford. Thank you for moving the Group SJR draft into the main space. Would you be willing to add wikilinks to the existing mentions of "Group SJR" in the J. Walter Thompson and Shorty Awards articles, so the new article isn't an "orphan"? Also, I am curious if you might have any feedback or suggestions for the related draft, Draft:Alexander Jutkowitz. Figured I'd ask since you're combing through the Articles for Creation queue and might be able to identify needed improvements. Thanks again! Inkian Jason (talk) 18:59, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Chetsford,
You recently reverted these edits by Sarah.billings with the edit summary "need sources" without starting a talk page discussion. The edits appear to cite a number of sources. Could you take a moment to quickly explain the revert? Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 19:40, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello Chetsford,
I did improve the sources, in fact, I have provided all the sources that have till now. Due to the director debut film, it has no such sources, but which I have provided in this article was high-end sources.
Kindly consider the draft again and let me know which sources you want me to improve correctly.

The article Emanuel Moravec you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Emanuel Moravec for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

"MPhilMediaArt thanks - can you point me to widespread coverage in multiple media outlets like major newspapers, national magazines, scholarly journals, or books from academic publishers establishing these two points and their significance? Chetsford (talk) 17:03, 9 February 2018 (UTC)"
Dear Chetsford,
thank you for Your fast and kind reply.
You asked me to point You to exact and significant citations that show Mr. Bielicky's artistic prowess.
I had a hard time finding citations that cement Mr. Bielicky's contributions, at least those which conform them in a peer-reviewed manner.
As You know the Arts are no exact science and an artist's participation in the first ever digital art exhibition (see Karl Gerbel, Peter Weibel (Eds.). Intelligente Ambiente (Ars Electronica). Wien, PVS Verleger. 1994. pp. 82ff. ISBN 3901196137) and the fact that his work Menora is among the first ever acquisitions of the worldwide first media museum ZKM - in Arts is more discourse and historic contribution than many artists would like to admit, to protect their inventive status of being among the most creative specimen human history has to offer.
So, the very fact that his Exodus GPS-performance was not described as such in the many citations that are listed in my article, but as a virtual traveller-blog, a traveller-performance and worldwide performance only proves how significant his work is.
Still I did find two citations that explicitly state that Mr. Bielicky is one of the originators of "virtual travelogs" or "virtuelle Reisetagebücher":

I've been working on getting the article "Dramatic Publishing Company" submitted for months and it keeps getting denied saying the sources aren't credible enough. I've searched similar companies to Dramatic Publishing such as, Dramatis Play Service, Playscripts Inc., and Pioneer Drama. All of these companies have had their pages approved with similar or less content than what I've provided. Can you please explain to me and help me understand why their pages are acceptable and mine is not? And what do I need to change to get it accepted? Am I just adding it to the wrong section of Wikipedia? Do different sections even exist? Thank you for your help. Corcoran42 (talk) 15:31, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
On 17 March 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Attack on the United States embassy in Addis Ababa, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that among those rescued by the British Army during the attack on the United States embassy in Addis Ababa was a reporter's pet cheetah? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Attack on the United States embassy in Addis Ababa. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Attack on the United States embassy in Addis Ababa), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hello,
I'm just wondering if you could restore the Geoff Green article to the state it was in following pdfpdf's last edit to the page: edition. I would like this to be the latest edition of the article whilst I submit a plea concerning the reliability of one of my sources.

Dear Chetsford:
Regarding your rejection of the page I submitted yesterday on the basis that it is merely a neologism, the term "Context-Based Sustainability" is now regularly used in commerce and has been featured in independent, reliable and published sources including the following:
1. United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), especially in its 2015 report, "Raising the Bar – Advancing Environmental Disclosure in Sustainability Reporting" (http://www.sustainableorganizations.org/Raising_the_Bar_-_Advancing_Environmental_Disclosure_in_Sustainability_Reporting.pdf) in which it wrote:
"The context principle was introduced as early as 2002 when it was embedded in the second generation of the GRI reporting framework. However, partially due to lack of available guidance on how to apply context to the reporting, it has largely been absent in corporate reporting. In an effort to fill this context gap, several organizations have taken important steps to put scientific context back into sustainability reporting. At the core of the context-based reporting movement is the Center for Sustainable Organizations (CSO). CSO developed Context-Based Sustainability (CBS), a framework for implementing Sustainability Context through the use of thresholds and allocations."
In the same report, UNEP added:
"All companies should apply a context-based approach to sustainability reporting, allocating their fair share impacts on common capital resources within the thresholds of their carrying capacities."
2. Harvard Business Review in a 2015 article entitled, "A Better Scorecard for Your Company's Sustainability Efforts (https://hbr.org/2015/12/a-better-scorecard-for-your-companys-sustainability-efforts), in which it wrote:
"The terms 'context-based' and 'Sustainability Context' are accepted terminology for measurement and reporting that compare corporate impacts to social, economic, and environmental thresholds."
I can supply other references if needed, but these two are quite prominent and should suffice.

Thank you for your acceptance of the article on the Museum of Salt and Pepper Shakers. As you suggested, I have added a couple of links pointing to the page (now that it is created), and removed the bullet points in the History section. I believe the bullet points in the In the Media section are appropriate. I have added a new sentence in that section and will continue to improve it. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aludden1 (talk • contribs) 15:10, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure how that's an NPOV issue as it correctly describes the issue and it's inevitably connected to Sarkozy – like Fillon affair, it's hard to call by any name other than "Penelopegate" or something that refers to Fillon. (For comparison, French Wikipedia calls it the "Gaddafi–Sarkozy affair" while German Wikipedia opts for "Libya affair".) Mélencron (talk) 02:15, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
