September 2012[edit]

Hello, I'm Elizium23. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Courteney Cox, because to me it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 01:10, 23 September 2012 (UTC) Hi, Well this external link was added because a mysterious WIKI contributor who removed The WIN Awards and Women's Image Network pages because they "are advertising"....so strange this WIKI world...it's a charity.[reply]

ANI Notice[edit]

Additions of http://.thewinawards.com[edit]

Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia.

Changes to my sandbox[edit]

Hi GingerMomma12. I reverted the changes you made to User:Qwyrxian/Women's Image Network Awards. First, you should note that that is not a Wikipedia article--it's merely a draft of a possible article that I'd like to create. The problem, though, is that neither the WIN awards nor WIN itself seem to be notable in the sense that Wikipedia needs them to be. To demonstrate that they are notable, we would need to provide multiple, independent reliable sources that discuss the awards/network in detail. UNfortuantely, I've only found one or two that come close to meeting this, so I can't actually make it a live article. Additionally, even if we were to make an article, much of what you added is excessive detail that goes beyond what would be appropriate. Finally, I'm concerned that part of what you provided is copied from somewhere else; while I don't see anything online that matches those words exactly, they sound exactly like PR-style speech, which makes me think it was copied from another document. For both legal reasons and site policy, we can never take text copied from another place and use it in Wikipedia.

However, I would really like to make an actually WP article about the group/awards. To do so, I need more sources. Do you know of any? They can be print or online, but they need to meet WP:RS (for example, press releases don't count), and they need to discuss the awards or the group in detail. If you do know some, please let me know. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:58, 24 September 2012 (UTC) Hello, right the notable and verifiable entries for The WIN Awards and Women's Image Network (WIN) Awards are plentiful both on WIKI and off. I could direct you to their site the win awards DOT com and look under the pulldown NEWS page which is full...does this help address your concerns please?[reply]

The external resources are listed on THE WIN AWARDS dot COM under NEWS pulldown menu. Loads of others who received a WIN Award also cited this company and award.

(GingerMomma12 (talk) 22:24, 28 September 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Yes but those 'external resources' are associated with win dot com and as such are primary references. Primary references are not permitted within wikipedia other than in very rare and special instances. This is not one of them. The biggest problem with the article as submitted is its promotional and unencyclopedic tone; it will never be accepted in its current form. Your original attempt was speedily deleted. Your request for creation was declined. Your appeal was also declined and you have appealed for a second time still without addressing the concerns of a number of administrators. I get the feeling that people are starting to get frustrated that you are not listening (or don't understand).

My best advice is to forget all about the topic of WIN awards for now. Get to know how wikipedia works and do some small edits and referencing in other areas that interest you. You could then return to very difficult aspect of new article creation at some time in the future. Otherwise you will become very disallusioned and dispirited with your wikipedia experience. You are trying to run before you can walk.21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF 00:24, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some advice on edits and interactions here[edit]

This is a reference work. As such, articles should be written in grammatical English. Thus, an article on the "WIN Awards" would be titled WIN Awards, not the win awards. Also: the use of ALL CAPS is considered the internet equivalent of shouting at other persons reading your words. To italicize a book title, name of a magazine or television show, etc., one uses a pair of single apostrophes before and after the items, thus: ''Item'', yielding Item. To bold-face, one uses three apostrophes, '''Thus''', yielding Thus. I hope this helps. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:09, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replied to your message[edit]

I replied to your message on my talk page. Note that I moved your new section to the bottom--on WP talk pages, we always put new messages at the bottom, so that reading down the talk page is reading approximately in chronological order. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:29, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

the charity event is not called WIN Awards though. they call it The WIN Awards.

Good news![edit]

Hi GingerMomma12. While your AFC draft was rejected, your walk has been tremendously helpful. By going through all of the links you provided, I was able to get enough information and citations to flesh out the draft I've had in my userspace for a long time. I've just moved it into mainspace! You can see it at Women's Image Network Awards. Note that it doesn't have all of the promotional language that you had included as that's not allowed per WP policies. Similarly, I didn't include a long lists of previous winner's and presenters. I think that at some point a list of previous winners may be appropriate, but I want to wait a little bit and make sure the article "sticks" (i.e., that no one tries to delete it). If we were to include such a list, we would ideally want it to be "complete" (covering every single year). Does WIN have a single page or set of pages that lists all of the awards (I'm assuming you work or volunteer for WIN)? I'm very happy to be able to get this important award into Wikipedia mainspace.

Let's wait a little bit before we go and start adding the award to the pages of actresses/directors/etc. If the article remains stable, then we can begin that slow process (and there are ways we can do it so that people don't think we're just spamming).

Finally, a further question: Has anything else that WIN has done received media coverage? For example, does it have other charity functions (run seminars, provide grants, etc.) that have been covered in the mainstream media? If so, it may be possible for the organization itself to have a separate WP article.

Again, thank you for your help, and I look forward to continuing to work with you. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:07, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, just so you know, I've nominated the article for Did you know.... This is a feature that puts a short "hook" to new articles on the main page of Wikipedia. You can see the nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/Women's Image Network Awards. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:26, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good day, Qwyrxian,

ur very good at WP...THANKS for writing "If we were to include such a list, we would ideally want it to be "complete" (covering every single year). Does WIN have a single page or set of pages that lists all of the awards (I'm assuming you work or volunteer for WIN)? I'm very happy to be able to get this important award into Wikipedia mainspace." Yes, they have a long list of their winners...and I have no idea how to get it together for WP. But this is a pretty comprehenvise list ...welcome your ideas very much. Best!

DYK for Women's Image Network Awards[edit]

On 16 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Women's Image Network Awards, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Women's Image Network Awards are given annually to honor women in media and promote the creation of positive images of women in film, television, and advertising? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Women's Image Network Awards. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Whitelist[edit]

I have removed your addition to MediaWiki talk:Spam-whitelist because it looks like a request that was misplaced (not in the right section) as well as malformed (can't figure out what it is you are requesting). Note that the whitelist page is not for requesting entire domains be whitelisted. It is for requesting specific pages to be whitelisted.

If you want to request removal from the blacklist, MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist has a section for that. Note, however, that the reliability ur uniqueness of the source has no bearing on whether the site should remain blacklisted. You will need to convince the administrators that the disruption that led to blacklisting will not resume. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:13, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
