Editor ''{{u|Worm That Turned}}'' submitted the following nomination for [[WP:Editor of the Week|Editor of the Week]]:

I nominate Bradv to be Editor of the Week for a number of reasons. I first came across Bradv when he was trying to fix a tag and ended up mediating a dispute admirably. Looking at his contributions (10.000 edits plus), he spends the majority of his time helping, be it at the Teahouse or at Articles for Creation. He has been away for a while, but has recently returned and I'd like it known how much his work is appreciated.

The other Sangar articles found on Wikipedia are about the towns and military term. This article is about the surname.

Dear Bradv Thanks for looking at the article. Could I please ask what constitutes peacock terms in the article? I have no professional connection to the artist in question and remain very uncertain of which terms are not proper. Without a list of them, I'll be guessing forever. Thanks very much for your expert insight. Once again, I would really appreciate a list, otherwise I'll remove the text from Wikipedia, since it doesn't seem proper in this context.I've already been trying for two months to submit two paragraphs. If we're talking about the "stature" of the newspapers quoted, the paper-based publication industry in Ukraine, Georgia, etc was decimated after the end of the Soviet system––and all publication subsidies ended. All news is therefore online and in venues we might in the West take to be "fleeting." I'm presuming the reviewers know the languages and social issues at hand, so that, I hope, is not the matter. I take, as suggested, the key issue to be inappropriate language, hence my initial query. I would be extremely grateful for detailed help.

I also forgot to mention that in the post-Soviet context, centralized or state-run media sources, which––say, in the UK––would be a source of *objective* journalism/notability, are in fact the opposite, i.e, dubious in their bias. Russia would be a fine example: objective information regarding a cultural phenomenon would not come from major press outlets, which are fiscally bound to their governmental sponsors. Truth instead is more likely to be found in minor, peripheral publications. Those same lesser outlets are obliged to fund themselves, of course, and will have more ad copy surrounding them (as banners, pre-roll video, etc), giving the *visual* impression of ephemeral and less trustworthy information! Sadly, the juxtaposition in Eastern Europe between state-run and "underground"journalism, for want of a less dramatic phrase, has not changed much.

The singers and songwriters on state TV/radio are only aired because they pay for their airtime. They are, therefore, not actually famous in the true sense, but merely able to pay for airtime and therefore cultivate an air of artistic impact and/or import. Hence the need to document, explain, and foreground other performers.

One could draw a parallel here with the teaching of Soviet literature in US schools for the last 60/70 years. We never read the works celebrated on Russian/Ukrainian/Georgian state channels, but instead those authors or poets, who–in purportedly minor quarters––played a more significant and notable cultural role. Most were ignored their entire lives.

I should also note that the Villy articles in Russian, Georgian, and Ukrainian––with which I have zero connection!––have long met the notability criteria. My problem, I'm guessing, is doing the same within an English-language context. In summary, therefore, I'm totally at loss after 4/5 edits to see either any peacock terms or notability issues. Hopefully I can be proven and fix the offending lines at once. Thanks!

Hi Bradv,

I'm trying to submit the Draft:Cloudreach article but you've rejected this because the article seemed too much like an advertisement. There are multiple secondary sources in the article which show why the company is notable, including two major UK newspapers, and a prestigious national award. Can you please read over the article again and suggest any changes that could be made to make it more acceptable? Thanks!"

Hi Bradv I'm a bit lost on why you have asked me to remove the links that act as citations and references on the article? The Wikipedia are links and are not intended to be citations.

Best Wishes

Ross

19:44:20, 2 May 2016 review of submission by Robert Kluijver


You have declined the submission by one of my students, Rewaa Al Hassani, on abovementioned contemporary art foundation, on the basis that not enough external, independently verifiable sources have been used. However, she does use external sources, such as e-flux journal of contemporary art - a highly established source in the contemporary art world, the also well-established universes-in-universe.org, transartists.org, as well as Art Asia Pacific and other well-known sources. So I don't understand what more you are expecting. Furthermore the article seems to obey to most criteria of wikipedia; she is objective as she has no relation to the place, etc etc. So please review your refusal to publish this article, on one of the main Palestinian contemporary art foundations.

02:09:28, 3 May 2016 review of submission by DmitryPopovRU


I have added 2 new sources on Draft:Alex Gilbert. Really is this article still not notable? See https://www.facebook.com/imadoptedOrg/videos/1721864794759785/ . This was taken from https://www.tvnz.co.nz/content/tvnz/ondemand/shows/b/breakfast/s2016/e72.html which his clip is at 49:00. This talks ideally about his I'm Adopted project. With the source to expire in 6 days, how can I reference this? --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 02:09, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

08:42:51, 3 May 2016 review of submission by Alexander Bray


Hello, I have updated the references - by adding page numbers - as requested as part of the rejection of the previous submission of my article, and corrected the formatting of the references.

As to notability: I have included the published references that I know about, but I have not included sources that simply repeat press release materials. The subject of the article has been mentioned on some forums (eg RMWeb) but I have not included those, even where the product has been used as the basis for a published picture.

The notability of the subject is at least as wide as the Wikipedia entries on individual steam locomotives.
