Hey, just a reminder to make sure you always substitute the template, otherwise it takes you to the template page. I may see about fixing that later this month. Ryan Vesey Review me! 17:58, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 01:10, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Your rollback request
Hi Athleek123, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 08:18, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you. Athleek123 17:41, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the welcome!
Hi Athleek123. Thank you for the welcome to Wikipedia and your help with fixing the box on the Fiserv page.
In regards to your noted concerns, I am an associate of Fiserv and I stated that on my username page for purposes of transparency, as recommended by Wikipedia (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest). My edits are meant to be factual and neutral in tone, relying on cited independent sources, and for purposes of clarification rather than promotion. I can provide suggested edits directly to you or another editor for an OK if that would be preferred. If you feel that would be best, what would be the best manner in which to have those edits reviewed -- being posted directly to your talk page or some other option?
Kabursch (talk) 21:03, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hello Kabursch,
- Thank you for your willingness to comply with Wikipedia policy. If you would like to make changes to the article, simply "draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it", as it says on the welcome template that I posted on your talk page. Click here to create a draft, then notify me when you are done. If you would like, you could simply copy the deleted edits from the Fiserv page history. Thanks, Athleek123 21:09, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Utilitarianism (applied)
Thank you for reviewing the article. Actually virtually all that material is already part of the Utilitarianism article (I just added a few lines at the beginning) and what I am looking to do is to spin it off to be a page on its own. The utilitarianism article now gives a detailed account of various approaches to utilitarianism as an ethical theory and it looks odd to have a series of paragraphs of applied ethics at the end of an article that is more properly normative ethics. As you note both paragraphs could be expanded but more importantly there is considerable room for a multitude of topics to be added. The problem is that would then look even more odd at the end of an entry on normative ethics. But thanks anyway.Philosophyclass HSOG (talk) 12:57, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- It seems fine to me, but then again I am no expert on the subject. Athleek123 18:05, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Ventus Networks
Thank you for reviewing and approving the Ventus Networks article. The article's title was originally just 'Ventus'. This is the correct name of the company because it is actually doing business as 'Ventus'. Please advise on how to update the article accordingly with the correct name. Thanks.Jko2626 (talk) 17:19, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- Fixed, just go to Ventus (company) Athleek123 18:09, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Message left at old talk page
Genepez left the following message regarding Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lumiere & Son Theatre Company at your old talk page, User talk:Athleek123:
- I've been having problems submitting for review a version of the article that contains references. I added references subsequent to being advised to do so by my reviewer then saved the amended version for another review. I'm still not confident that I have succeeded in submitting a version that retains the references. This is my third attempt to submit for review an edited text that contains my new edits. Thank you for any assistance that you might be able to give. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Genepez (talk • contribs) 09:54, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
I've moved it here. Genepez seems to have problems saving his edits; he resubmitted the draft, but again without the references. Huon (talk) 11:12, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you Huon, and to Genepez, I have looked at the submitted version of your article, and it still has no references. Do you have a link to where you developed the article, like a sandbox? Thanks, Gold Standard 18:15, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- I believe Genepez somehow didn't save his edits; there's nothing relevant in all his contributions. I have given him advice at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk#Review of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lumiere & Son Theatre Company (there are multiple threads of that name).

Inline citations and AFCs
You commented on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Toonz that "References must have inline citations in order for them to be verifiable". This is not true (I'm not even sure it makes sense). Per WP:CHALLENGED, inline citations are only compulsory for quotations and material that is "challenged or likely to be challenged", so there is no must about it. This was recently discussed and it was agreed that lack of inline citations alone isn't sufficient reason to decline a submission. Inline citations are quite tricky as wiki markup goes, and we shouldn't insist that newbies master them before their submissions is accepted if it's otherwise good and well sourced. joe•roet•c 09:16, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oh wow, I completely misread that part of the reviewer instructions. Thank you for telling me this and preventing future mistakes. Gold Standard 17:43, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
Confused about Decline
I am confused as to why Contemporary Literature and Ecological Restoration both got declined for submission. I didn't do anything different than my Arctic Anthropology submission. Could I receive help in order for these articles to be accepted?
Thank you, Press Stevens (talk) 14:15, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- At the time of the decline, the article had fewer refs, so good job adding more refs. The references, however, have to be independent of the topic of the article. Thanks, Gold Standard 19:33, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- Then why was my very first article accepted when I didn't do anything different, including references. (My references related to the Arctic Anthropology journal.) I am trying to get more articles on scholarly journals accepted, so I am keeping how I format and link my material the same. Press Stevens (talk) 23:08, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
- Your article, Arctic Anthropology, should not have been accepted, its references don't constitute significant, independent coverage. I am contacting the person who accepted it to see what they were thinking. Gold Standard 23:14, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
