Thank you for reviewing the page "Draft:Raphael RJ2" I need help in the creation of that page and since you declined it maybe you can help me fix mistakes. You wrote "After deleting a dozen references that had absolutely nothing to do with RJ2, the only sources left refer to Lil Wayne's record. Thus, there is no notability established for RJ2 himself." The sources you erased you said had nothing to do with Raphael RJ2, yet they mentioned Raphael RJ2's works and are reliable sources I see wikipedia use all the time and they had his name mentioned in there and has his Credited Works mentioned also. You erased the sources that you thought were irrelevant yet left the sources that were relevant. With that being said, That means you see he is who he is so why not Approve the page and just erase all the mistakes you see because me and the other contributes need help because we don't understand what you need when we've gotten reliable sources that have the same info already approved on wikipedia saying the same thing about Raphael RJ2 . All the sources I had were Raphael RJ2's work that he did. Also His Facebook is Verifde, most the links I got were from Raphael RJ2 directing us himself to them. Me & a couple of other contributors just thought Raphael RJ2 needed his own wikipedia page. ( I see other Artist and music producers with the same type of sources that Raphael RJ2 has yet they were approved and the artistcals didn't mention their names only their works, so I'm confused as to why Raphael RJ2's page is not approved.)— Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.173.4.218 (talk) 20:36, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to help me understand, I'm understanding now what you mean. I will try to find more independent reliable sources that talk directly about him, but it's hard to, when artist don't really give producers credit like that. They work mostly behind the scenes. For Example Here is a Link with Flo Rida Mentioning the Song Raphael RJ2 Produced called "Fresh I Stay" yet he didn't mention his name http://hiphop-n-more.com/2010/08/flo-rida-interview-with-hollyscoop/ Yet it can't be used on wikipedia right? Also here is a listing of the Credits with Raphael RJ2's name on it about the same song Flo Rida is talking about in the video http://samples.sainsburysebooks.co.uk/9781488505577_sample_255049.pdf
I'm just trying to understand how Wikipedia work. For example do you mean like this Article from a independent reliable source to where the Artist Kat Saint John is actually saying Raphael RJ2's name? http://www.parlemag.com/2013/09/kat-st-john-star-in-the-making/
Here is another one from a independent reliable source about Rapper Styles P and they mention the Song Raphael RJ2 Produced for him called Murder Mommy and also has his name listed as the Producer. http://istandardproducers.com/istandard-blog/track-by-track-review-styles-p-the-worlds-most-hardest-mc-project/
Here is another one from a independent reliable source about Rapper Hurricane Chis mentioning working with Raphael RJ2 in the artical http://www.reupspot.com/review-hurricane-chris-unleashed.htm
Here is another one from a independent reliable source http://www.kevinnottingham.com/2013/07/03/fiend-flawless-diamonds-feat-max-minelli/
I even found this article where they are mentioning Raphael RJ2 amongst other notable producers http://24hourhiphop.com/next-in-line/l-a-h-entertainment-the-movement/1346673741000/
To be honest I have to actually thank you because now I'm finding more work done by Raphael RJ2 I didn't know he even did ha ha! Also Thank you for your point-by-point reasoning for your edits. Here are some corrections you might have missed.
His name is also mentioned here on a official site http://www.audiomack.com/song/straightfreshdotnet/on-my-job-remix
Also here is a website that Ed Love is working with that also mentions Raphael RJ2's name. http://www.comebackkings.net/about-us.html
once again (talk) thank you for your help, is there anyway you can erase or really just just reword all that needs to be fixed because everything is true, maybe I just didn't word it right? Example: You mention the Rapper Lil Snupe that Raphael RJ2 produced. Only reason I wrote that the rapper was killed was because I thought I was helping people that didn't know about the rapper dying, but I understand where you are coming from about saying "What does Raphael have to do with Snupe's Death". So what if I or you just reworded the paragraph & just took out the part about the murder & just leave that Raphael Produced his songs since Lil Snupes name is clickable so people can find out about him by clicking his name.70.173.4.218 (talk) 00:38, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
I have made adjustments to my second submission of “Donald E. Harkness” per your rejection comments, though honestly didn’t find any wording unworthy of a collegiate or WP article – including the examples provided in your comments. As I re-read my second submission, I don’t see anything that is being promoted – not even a hint of it. Please enlighten me. FYI: The non-fiction book that I co-authored is cited in the Reference section where it is not mentioned or referenced anywhere in the article, and, although necessary to include, is virtually ignored by readers. In fact, the reader would have to read my first submission or Mr. Vanita's comments to even suspect a promotional connection. Yes, I am a member of the pen-name “House of Harkness” but that should not exclude the book from being properly cited in the article. Please note that I received the criticisms of my first submission with open humility, and said so at the time, because they were true and I am an honest person. I see no hint of my prior faults in my subsequent submissions.
Knowing why an historic figure did something and went somewhere is genuinely useful, valuable and even necessary information, which is confirmed and validated in one or more of the cited references. In fact, without the ‘offending’ phrase, “Missing the sense of adventure from his war years”, the paragraph is disjointed, leaving the reader to wonder how and why he went from working as a civil engineer to working for his passage on steamer ships (4th paragraph). None-the-less, I removed it for my next submission but the article clearly suffers for it. Please be assured, there is no conjecture, hearsay or supposition in my article – just historic, neutral fact validated in the cited material.
I don’t wish to turn my article into a mess of unformatted, dry bullet points, so if that is what Wikipedia considers ‘WP-worthy’ and professional then please tell me now, and I won’t bother you anymore. In such a case, the cost of adhering to protocol would be too high for me.
I look forward to reply and I thank you for your understanding. 74.103.165.66 (talk) 21:22, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello. I have noticed your rejection of Draft:Sir William Garth and I find it to be incorrect as he is clearly notable. His article in A & C Black's Who's Who confirms that he was indeed knighted in 1914. As a knight of the realm, he (easily) satisfies criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO. That guideline is satisfied by any honour of or above the rank of CBE. If an AfC submission claims that a British person has received a relevant honour after 1897, that publication should always be checked as a matter of course. Please review the submission again. Thank you. James500 (talk) 11:26, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello. Thanks for you notes about the page. I am new to wikipedia and have read all the instructions and made sure to follow all the guidelines, providing references and other resources for this individual's page. He is pretty notable and I am still collecting references and other material that can be added to the page. I recently added a new reference link to IMDB with more coming. Please let me know if there is anything wrong with the format, language, reference or anything I can improve to help increase the chances of this page staying on wikipedia. I can assure you I didn't take the decision to create a page for him lightly as it takes much time and effort to get all this done and I was sure he is notable enough as he is a well known actor in the community. Thanks you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingoptimizer (talk • contribs) 22:09, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks kikichugirl for your comments. They are very constructive! I understand that the IMDB link is not a reliable source as you mentioned. I am having a hard time finding more references because most of what Michael Palance has done was in a time prior to the internet and therefore any references are scarce. There are many youtube videos of him but that is not a reliable source as well. What is the best way to approach this? - I am still digging for some more references. Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi, you stated that my draft for BODYARMOR SuperDrink posted on my sandbox reads too much like an advertisement. Can you please provide suggestions for which sections sound too much like an advertisement or what can be added to have the article sound less like an advertisement?

Hi Primefac. Thanks for reviewing the Sears Outlet draft. I do not agree with your reasoning for the rejection of this draft. Sears Hometown and Outlet Stores (also known as "SHOS") is a parent entity that only exists as a holding company for it's 4 daughter brands - namely: "Sears Outlet", "Sears Hometown Stores", "Sears Appliance and Hardware Stores" and "Sears Home Appliance Showroom". The 4 company formats operate as different brands, with different product ranges, pricing and operations. The "Sears Outlet" brand is the only type that encompasses both physical stores as well as an eCommerce site - the remaining 3 store formats only operate as physical stores.
Due to these aforementioned facts addressing the difference between the parent and daughter formats - I believe that there is a strong case for a separate Wikipedia article. I agree that there is some content overlap and I am prepared to fix this with your guidance. Can you please provide us some guidance as to how to build a separate page?
Potential additional facts that I could add (where I found references) include:
"Dealers and franchisees are paid commission based on their net sales of inventory consigned to them. Dealers and franchisees are authorized to sell post-sale services, such as extended-service plans, for which they also receive commissions." (retrieved from 2014 annual report - http://quote.morningstar.com/stock-filing/Annual-Report/2014/2/1/t.aspx?t=XNAS:SHOS&ft=10-K&d=5e61278408bd4350f80372d6be0d7dfe).
"In 2013, Outlet’s most significant merchandise category was home appliances, which made up 78% of Outlet's sales revenue." (ibid).
Thanks so much for your help!

Hello Primefac,
thanks for reviewing the Fair Stone article. I added a couple of sources as external links, not as references. Will these suffice to establish notability? Unfortunately they are in German. The standard has begun to expand to the United Kingdom, which is why an English Wikipedia Article makes sense. FairStoneLabel (talk) 14:56, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
I don't understand why you have re-graded my article George Chakravarthi as 'Start', the example of this grade is Dirty Laundry (Bitter:Sweet song) in which all the content is in one section, is very basic and has minimal citations to potentially unreliable sources. The article had originally been graded B-class, which seemed more appropriate. Can you please explain your logic? Emerald (talk) 15:20, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
Thank you. By "my article" I meant that, as it stands, it is all my own work. I would like to know "what [content] is still missing..[or is] irrelevant material" and what "may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup", that would be very helpful when I attempt to improve it as the editing suggestions for C class are not helpful as I am not aware of any gaps in the content or clean-up requirements, hopefully you can point them out to me. Emerald (talk) 15:35, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
I am still awaiting the detailed comments you kindly offered to post a few days ago, I hope you get an opportunity to write them down soon. Regards, Emerald (talk) 10:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for your feedback. It is very helpful and has given me quite a lot to think about. I'll have a look at more artists' articles before making any decisions. If you don't mind, when I do make any substantial changes I will let you know, I would then be grateful for your comments about whether I am moving it in the right direction. Best wishes. Emerald (talk) 18:28, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Primefac,
I just received a notification that you are patrolling a working article in my sandbox... Judging by your talk page, you have given out a lot of advice. Do you have any feedback on how to improve my article? This is my first new article, so I would really welcome any suggestions you have on making a good Wikipedia submission.
Thank you! Chief8 (talk) 21:31, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Primefac and thanks for reviewing my submission, I'd like to ask you what can I do to improve it, since it was declined. I could add details about the funds received by the VCs, but I dont' know if that's enough.
Many thanks

Primefac, you are one of our finest editors. Keep up the good work, --L235 (t / c / ping in reply) 21:41, 18 February 2015 (UTC) |
Right.... you would never need to look at Peter Teuben's bio, but you are not the target audience. The target audience in this case is a user or potential user of the ASCL and researchers interested in reproducible science; there are enough of that population who care who is on the advisory committee, and contact advisory committee members about it that having links is useful to them.
I don't have the time to muck around much with Wikipedia. I update pages in which I am a subject matter expert only, and only because information on them is incorrect or lacking. The ASCL page is now out-of-date/inaccurate, and some of the information on it is unreferenced. I guess that will have to be okay, though it changes my view (and advocacy) of Wikipedia as a mostly-reliable source of astro info. Makes me sad, though!
Owlice1 (talk) 21:12, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
I know you're not trying to be malicious, and I WAS trying to update the page, to provide correct information and missing/updated references -- the changes kept getting backed out, however, each time an editor restored changes made by another editor! It's extremely frustrating for me to edit the page (I don't have mad wiki editing skillz; I don't do this very often, so every edit usually takes me a long time to do correctly), only to have someone with great wiki chops but little expertise on *this* very narrow topic wipe out the edits or get in an edit before I had a chance to save mine. I don't have a lot of time to spare on this and certainly don't have time to spare on other pages, especially when there are so many others with much greater knowledge available for those other pages.
And again, though I made small subsequent changes one by one, I see that someone else has once again removed external links that are relevant, namely those to other efforts that nearly anyone interested in the ASCL would want to know about. Those other efforts should be listed, acknowledged as part of the broader effort and available to people who are interested in astro software and research integrity and reproducibility; this record is the poorer without them.

Thanks for the review - the last feedback I recieved was that the draft didn't have enough information on the contents of the book, and that I should look at Good Articles to see what kinds of information was needed. I found a couple with blow-by-blow entries of each chapter, so I had a bit of a go at that. Do you have any advice on how I can make the draft more acceptable? --110.20.234.69 (talk) 02:30, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Declining Draft:Ubiwave
Nvdierdo (talk) 07:48, 24 February 2015 (UTC) Hi Primefac. Thx for reviewing Draft:Ubiwave. Based on your comment I have been reading about Notability of organisations and about Identifying reliable sources. I believe I understand what you mean.
There has been quite some independent coverage about Ubiwave and not all sources have been included in the article I submitted. I'd like to start working on an improvement. Could you indicate how far off from acceptance we are? I other words, am I to add just a few reliable and independent sources, double the number of sources, more? Is there anything else than adding more sources to be done?

You moved User talk:GeorgiDane to Draft talk:Georgi Danevski - and User:GeorgiDane - Draft:Georgi Danevski and left redirects. This completley messed up the user's user and talk pages and caused all of the conversations that took place on Draft talk:Georgi Danevski to be lost when an admin untangled the redirects.
While I agree that it was a questionable CSD tag simply following the process and having a reviewing admin decline it would have been much simpler. As it was you did not follow up with the user and 1 - tell them what you had done 2 - tell them what to do next. You also left their user space in a terrible state. Please use more care when you do these things and remember to follow up with the user. Thank you for your consideration and understanding in this matter. JBH (talk) 09:21, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

What do we need to do to Draft:Highest-grossing_films_which_combine_Live_Action_with_Animation#Highest-grossing_films_which_combine_Live_Action_with_Animation to upload — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.102.93.78 (talk) 14:38, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
The following was e-mailed to me by User:HydeParkResident
Hello,
Thanks in advance for your help. We have input a history of Hyde Park, and previously had a list of notable places in Hyde Park (such as a historical fountain), which we removed for fear of appearing like we were just "advertising", which isn't the intent of the web page at all. Our parent neighborhood has a wikipedia page here they specifically mention Hyde Park, so the original intent was to build our information. Neartown_Houston
When we were told Hyde Park wasn't notable enough, I read in your rules that appearances in the news made it notable, so I input some of the appearances in the news despite being trivial. I totally agree christmas trees being stolen is trivial, as is parking so they werent included in the first iteration. (I disagree that residents rallying around a tree is trivial; overdevelopment was referenced in the articles about Montrose and is a MAJOR debate in houston covered daily by major papers. It is relevant.
However, we have also included a history of Hyde Park, some other info about it.
I guess is this a matter of adding material or removing material? Plenty of trivial things are covered on wikipedia with 1-2 sentence about the history. I am more than happy to remove trivial articles.
Another concern is there is plenty of relevant history in Hyde Park, but it doesnt say "Hyde Park" - just "Montrose" because most people know of the general area, not the neighborhoods. For example, much of the LGBT equal rights movement discussed on Montrose,_Houston occurs in Hyde Park. If we go through the effort to pick out things that happened, will qw just be told they arent relevant because they don't specifically say "Hyde Park", but instead say "Montrose"?
Sorry for the lengthy email, but I have been going in circles since december with this. Reading the rules that it should be appearing in newspapers, magazines, so noting when it appears in newspaper and magazines, and then being told that isn't important enough, is kind of a head scratcher.

One of your comments related to the need to provide a compelling reason to have an article recognizing the highest grossing films which combine live action with animation. Would you be able to comment regarding the following content I will add to the article?
"In 2010, the International Animated Film Society [4] (ASIFA) who host the Annie Awards which recognize outstanding achievement in the field of animation, created a new award category in recognition of 'Character Animation in a Live Action Production' for its 38th annual awards. The award that year was presented to Alice in Wonderland[5]. The following year ASIFA added a second award category to the Annie Awards in recognition of the use of animation in live action films; 'Animated Effects in a Live Action Production'. The movie Transformers: Dark of the Moon[6] received the award in 2011. These two awards do not distinguish between animation and animation used to create special effects in the way that Roger Ebert did, but they do finally provide professional and cultural recognition of films that combine animation with live action."

Hey Primefac, you asked that I rewrite the Sound section to be a bit more neutral, which I have done. I also made some other minor changes throughout the draft of words to make it less biased (for example changing the word 'top-notch' to 'high quality') Overall I think it reads better now.

Thank you for your comments on my draft for Draft:Julie Mintz Per your recommendation of additional independent reliable sources that do more than simply mention Mintz, I made sure to focus on including, in particular, reference numbers 1, 11, and 12 (EntertainmentWeekly, LAmusicblog, and Guitar World respectively) which pertain only to Mintz.

Thanks for alerting me to the issues with references 11 and 2. Got those back in working order. Unfortunately, the Fangoria article is only in print, as it was in 2000. I have a copy of the magazine I bought on ebay years ago, as I've been following Mintz's work through her initial work with Tobe Hooper.

Hello Primefac. Sorry to take so long to respond, I've been sick. I have added and corrected references on this site (that was the reason you initially did not post it.) Although I have carefully checked over and over, and all of the references appear at the end of the article, I still get this message: "Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them." I cannot find any tags without content. Could you possibly help me see what I'm missing so that I can correct this? Really trying to comply!!! ~~~~Micojack — Preceding unsigned comment added by Micojack (talk • contribs) 21:08, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello Primefac,
I resubmitted an extended version of my article Draft:LGO_solver_suite_for_global_and_local_nonlinear_optimization on March 9, and I will appreciate a response from you or your colleagues who decide about its publication.
For your information, I am a well-recognized research scientist and I can certainly add more content if necessary, but I'd try not to repeat already published [on the web] materials, instead providing web links and other links to those interested.
Thank you for your work; let me know if you have any comments or if you need clarification regarding the submission.

Thank you for reviewing my article about Angus Walker. I do agree that the titles of the newspaper articles are lacking and there was no way for you to verify if any of the information from them was true. Unfortunately, none of the articles are available online as most newspapers' online archives here in Nova Scotia and the other places do not go that far back in time and/or would cost money to make copies available to you in that manner in addition to some of them being bought out by others over the years. However, I do have scans that I can send you of the articles that I referenced and others that I choose not to use because they were either redundant or I did not feel they were quite worthy of wikipedia. As for the online sources, I agree with you as well that they are lacking discussion about Walker, but they do add to the criteria for his notability such as having songs in the top 50, being associated with other notable artists, releasing albums, winning a major award, etc... I could actually add what major record labels he worked for and reference some of the newspapers as they state that info in some cases or even his albums if they are valid references (a could scan those for you too). In terms of "The Cape Breton Rebel" section, you are right again with the lack of referencing. The majority of this section was inferred from comparing his older with his newer material (I could send you some songs so you could compare if that was a valid way to obtain information) in addition to looking his songs up on the SOCAN database for co-writers, year, etc... I was not sure how to reference that and sending a print screen of that to you could take awhile as it is a friend who has access to the database and the mentioned that their initial terms included not reproducing anything, although there may be exemptions for academic purposes and keeping them private. Speaking of inferencing, I can infer that Walker is the first Nova Scotian ever to win a Canadian Country Music Award although I don't think any newspaper directly stated that (Probably any genre if I can find the origins of the rest of those that won the RPM award in '64). Should I include that in this article? Finally, I did originally include pictures and I think a program automatically removed them as they did not have the proper licence. As I'm only located a half hour away from where Walker grew up, I was able to get pictures from relatives of people he played with that were either taken by them or Walker's father who was a photographer but had moved on from doing so officially at the period that these pictures were taken according to one article (he actually opened his own general store at that point). Could you send me a link to get those properly approved for wikipedia? I have permission to use those pictures from the owners, as well as the articles I got from them as long as I keep everything about Walker so people do not bother his busy family. Thank you again for the time you invest in scrutinizing all these articles and for linking the repeated references together. I tried to duplicate that but it wouldn't work.

Dear Sir,
You declined my Article about Kundan Srivastava and you mentioned comment The references provided do not do any more than mention Srivastava, which is perfectly acceptable for verifying facts but not for establishing notability. The YourStory reference is PRIMARY, as is the biography from his own group (which is duplicated on the MatPal page). Please find additional reliable sources to add to this page.
I am very disappointed and sad to know the Wikipedia Behavior. Kundan Srivastava is an Activist faced many misfortunes in his young life and fighting for women issues. He is notable activist and author. I already submitted all the reliable sources like YourStory, Matpal, IndiaTV, DIT University, Rediff News, Haribhoomi, etc. YourStory is India's leading digital media, Matpal is India's leading biography site.
Find Example here Wikipedia published more Biography without any reliable sources because they are rich businessman and mine article is full of notability and reliable source:
and so on......
Why you declined Kundan Srivastava Biography that because he is an Activist and Author not a rich personality. Right ? please consider my request and help me to make publish the biography of Kundan Srivastava.

Hey there, I'd really like to get down to the bottom of what is going on with Lexalytics. The move to delete the Lexalytics page is confusing because it's already been edited down quite a bit. The purchase of Semantria by Lexalytics is widely reported in interviews, articles, etc and has been cited. I don't know what needs to be done in order to remove this move for deletion. What is more, I don't know why it was put on there in the first place. I'm trying to write a solid, meaningful wikipedia page but I feel as though I've accidentally done it in a very misguided way. Instead of deleting the page can I get advice and some guidance on how to correct this blunder?

Is there a cubesat example you can provide to help with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Picopanther
I have been going based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TechEdSat and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HawkSat_I and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KySat-1
Under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline supposedly "Sources of evidence include recognized peer reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally"...are IEEE peer reviewed publications not credible sources?
The payload concept has been referenced by https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=2287195442061368190&as_sdt=40005&sciodt=0,10&hl=en and used by NASA and other entities to accomplish LEO to Iridium connections. It is not as popular a topic as "the kardashians" but still part of a body of work that was developed and accomplished.
From IRC user "Huon", I took notes on sources needing to line up with statements and some content that strays. Really good points. Anything else that could help would be great.

The Future Earth article relates to an obscure TV program that is no longer current, and thus of little encyclopedic interest, although it was one of the motivators (along with the Al Gore initiative et.al.) so since it shares the same name, it probably deserves a oblique mention in an article that is about a major current programme of scientific (and thus encyclopedic) relevance.

Re: Draft:Dogmachine
Hi,
You noted that I have many references but not notable ones. I have references from the National Library of Australia and a major Australia newspaper, surely those are "notable".
As the article is regarding a band that was mostly active in the 1990s there's not a lot of online articles to reference. I have other media that I could reference but from what I've read I cant use them until the page is active (or is that not the case?)
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Primefac, I'm new in Wikipedia and I saw you posted comments on the nomination for deletion of Rebeca Minguela. Would you have any advice on how to improve Rebeca Minguela article or you think that it should just be deleted? I created the article. Should I already delete it, or I should wait for a Wikipedia Admin to do it? One issue that I'm experiencing is that many of the references that are being refuted are main newspapers in Spain. Could that be because the interviews are written in Spanish and I wrote the article in the English Wikipedia? Thanks. RogueKhan (talk) 18:58, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
I submitted this article for review https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jackson_Senyonga and it was dropped citing "not being a person of notability" yet I was careful to include all the references necessary and choosing the references (BIG Media stations) acknowledged by Wikipedia itsself.
For example on Wikipedia itself, http://www.cbn.com/ is a recognized big media company with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Broadcasting_Network and I also included New Vision Uganda - The leading Newspaper in UGanda (Infact the only Government newspaper)
The person I wrote about is also an owner of over 6 media stations including a 5 radio stations and the leading Christian TV station. Why then is he not being considered notable. Could it be that there is no Wikipedia Person to refer to that knows about Uganda or East Africa at large?

I see that your personal vendetta against sources from findmypast.com continues aaace. I have searched the archives at Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources and I can see several discussion threads that do indeed raise legitimate concerns about sources that rely on that site. But I would be very interested to hear your own views on why findmypast.com is to be considered "unreliable", or indeed if there is a categorical policy decision somewhere that I have missed. In the mean time, I wonder would it be sensible for you to replace any source that you remove with a "citation needed" tag, and/or to raise the issue at the appropriate article Talk Page, instead of just mechanically stripping out, with the help of AWB, clear and formatted sources that many editors have obviously taken some time and care to add in good faith?
