== Terry Smith, financier -- maybe it is time to allow him a page == |
|||
Hi |
|||
Apparently you have deleted a page entry for Terry Smith. I learnt this just now after having created one. I understand Wikipedia's policy on living people, and that they should be notable. Terry Smith meets this criterion. He is certainly notable. It is true that he is less well known than many financiers who have their own entries in Wikipedia. Terry has a track record of doing finance right, so his firms has not (so far) had to have a bailout by government because of incompetent or immoral management. In many regards, Terry Smith stands out as the moral financier par excellence. he is very well known in the finance community in London, although perhaps not well known in the USA. His book was so controversial that at one time it carried the strapline "The Book they Tried to Ban." I may have misremembered, but this was because of legal actions on behalf of companies furious at his revealing some of the accounting tricks used in annual reports and accounts. In these days of financial catastrophe, brought on largely by financiers, regulators and governments using smoke and mirrors to hide real risks in capital markets, Terry Smith is one of the very small number of people who are both highly successful in finance and who have a track record of exposing financial chicanery, at no small personal costs. |
|||
By the way, I have no personal interest in whether Wikipedia carries or does not carry an entry. I have no connection whatsoever with Mr Smith nor any of his businesses. As a qualified finance practitioner, I was surprised that Terry Smith has no entry in Wikipedia, and even more surprised that his entry has previously been deleted. If some editor arbitrarily decides to ban Mr Smith from being covered in Wikipedia, it won;t make any difference to my life but it will be a poor reflection on Wikipedia, and will be in the tradition of trying to ban Gillian Tett from having an entry, which is surely one of the low points in Wikipedia's collective judgement. |
|||
I have no idea, nor much interest, in the source of your authority over these decisions, but I expect you are doing a good job at watever it is you do on Wikipedia and I salute you for that and tank you. I hope you will not censor a man who is a rare moral giant in today's financial world. |

== Close To Torah == |
|||
I believe that Close To Torah should have a page on Wikipedia so that people may find information of its origin, goal, and intentions. We receive hits from several hundred people a day and growing. Like anyone when first going anywhere I'd like to know its credibility, so I would search Wikipedia to help me. I am new to Wikipedia but I believe that Close To Torah among other websites should be referenced to in another article discussing the different Torah Content websites available for Jewish users, then have a page about each of them and what they are geared towards. This should be under the category of Judaism...I just didn't have the chance to research how to do that. These Torah Content websites allow people from around the world who may not have too much exposure to Judaism to have insights on words of wisdom. More than 'just a website' we aim to teach people and enlighten them with the wisdom of the Torah.[[User:Dovidkopel|Dovidkopel]] ([[User talk:Dovidkopel|talk]]) 12:21, 31 May 2010 (UTC) |

== InTopSens == |
|||
Hi UtherSRG, |
|||
This page was recently speedily deleted multiple times (largely at my request) for copyright violation and other criteria, and you eventually protected the page from creation. I've now worked on the article with its original author and I believe that it has been greatly improved and is easily well-sourced enough to be worthy of an article. I do not believe it is a copyright violation any longer, either. The article itself is still a bit messy, but as a newpage patroller I've seen much worse in mainspace so I'd like to move the draft back into mainspace to allow it to be improved by the wikipedian community. |
|||
The draft can be found at [[User:Dannyhill/InTopSens]]. Thanks in advance. <span style="background:#FFFFC0">'''[[User:Giftiger_wunsch|<font face="Verdana"><font color="#900000">Giftiger</font><font color="#FF0000">Wunsch</font></font>]]''' [[User_talk:Giftiger wunsch|<font face="Tahoma" color="#0060A0">[TALK]</font>]]</span> 15:18, 31 May 2010 (UTC) |

:I'm not seeing anything that addresses the lack of notability. So it's a project to do "X". What is notable about that? Look at [[WP:GNG]] for some guidelines on addressing notability. The only references are [[WP:PRIMARY|primary source]] papers submitted to a single journal. There's nothing in the wider literature that this is anything more than a science project that is going no where. Sorry, I can't place a non-notable subject into the main space. - [[User:UtherSRG|UtherSRG]] [[User_talk:UtherSRG|(talk)]] 04:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC) |

== GA nominations == |
|||
Hello, I'm afraid I've failed [[gorilla]] and [[Jane Goodall]] at GAN. Neither meet the criteria at this time and still need a bit of work on them. If it's reviews you're looking for (per your comment at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Primates]]) then you might want to try [[WP:PR|peer review]] instead. Apart from anything, you might get people with more of a biology background rather than just looking at the GA criteria.

:I hope this doesn't come across wrong, but I also quick-failed [[Common Chimpanzee]], [[Lucy (Australopithecus)]], and [[Orangutan]]. The pages were improperly assessed as B-class, and had a combination of clean-up tags, missing information, missing citations. Please clean up the articles before submitting to GAC rather than working out such serious flaws during the review. I have also temporarily removed the [[Golden-crowned Sifaka]] nomination (rather than failing it) due to the need for a rapid overhaul. With that article, it was very close to B-class, mostly due to some missing citations. I am currently cleaning the page up and adding content, and I plan to re-submit for GA sometime this afternoon. [[Red-bellied Lemur]] was reassessed to C-class and has numerous problems. Depending on how long the Golden-crowned Sifaka article takes me, I may try to clean-up that article as well this evening. Other lemur articles I've reassessed (downward) are [[Aye-aye]], [[Diademed Sifaka]], and [[Coquerel's Sifaka]]. I left [[Silky Sifaka]] at B-class, but please do not nominate it. After I finish the [[Subfossil lemur]] article I'm trying to find time to write, I plan to use material Erik Patel has given me to revamp the article so that I can make a blitz run at both GAC and FAC. As it stands, that article technically doesn't merit B-class due to the use of "personal communication" references. Anyway, I appreciate your eagerness to improve the status of our articles. I'll help you in any way that I can. Again, I hope I haven't ruffled your feathers any with the quick fails. At the very least, though, WP:PRIMATES should have another GA or two soon due to the attention to called to [[Golden-crowned Sifaka]], and possibly [[Red-bellied Lemur]].

No prob... PR at WP:PRIM is mostly broken... not enough folks look at the assessment or peer review sections of the project. So I grabbed the best of our B-class articles and sent them up the flagpole. I have no problem with them being failed. It gives me a better idea of where the boundaries are. And now I have a nice big plate of work for the next couple of nights before I go cold for a few days while I'm on a boat starting my travels home. - [[User:UtherSRG|UtherSRG]] [[User_talk:UtherSRG|(talk)]] 03:57, 1 June 2010 (UTC) |

:That's cool. It's partly my fault for not being responsive at PR on WP:PRIM. There are probably about 4 or 5 active members of the project, and most aren't actively involved in content creation or assessments. I've been trying to recruit new editors, with the hopes of finding a few people who could compliment my work on lemurs by writing articles about monkeys, apes, and other prosimians... but no luck yet. I apologize, though, if I come across as possessive over the lemur articles. It's not intended. I've accumulated a lot of sources, and I have specific plans for many pages. I'm also better at re-writing then integrating into existing text. I also feel badly that the other primate groups are falling behind, thus my push for more monkey and ape content creators. Anyway, I'll try to be more mindful of your requests for peer reviews in the future. – '''<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.3em; class=texhtml; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">[[User:Visionholder|<span style="color:darkgreen">VisionHolder</span>]] «[[User talk:Visionholder|<span style="color:olive"> talk </span>]]»</span>''' 04:07, 1 June 2010 (UTC) |
