QUESTION

Hello! I need to know something. As I am an Autoconfirmed user, can I move a Draft article to Namespace/Article? Thank you Trendrives (talk) 22:28, 4 January 2021 (UTC)--

Hi Trendrives, you can but that does not mean you should. I see it was rejected because it does not meet WP:NMUSICBIO. Please be aware even if you bypass AfC all articles are still reviewed by WP:NPP (with limited exceptions). If you were to move it to article space, it is very likely to be deleted through that process. S0091 (talk) 16:39, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Q36 Rentals album

Hello, added some refs to this draft article--you had posted about it at the album project. Not sure who is responsible for resubmitting, etc., but just wanted to drop a line, thanks. Caro7200 (talk) 15:20, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Caro7200 Fantastic! I went ahead and resubmitted it as I do not think it matters who does it. Thanks for the note! S0091 (talk) 16:48, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi S0091. Thanks for changing the shoplifting portion of the India Hicks page. I saw that you added a {{request edit}} hoping someone else will review the proposed draft. However, my understanding is that “request edit” reviewers are usually looking for small, specific changes and aren’t willing to review an entire rework of the page. I was wondering if you were willing to take a look yourself or if not if you mind me poking around to try to find someone instead of relying on the request edit. Lrgoldman3 (talk) 21:12, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Lrgoldman3, I think it is best to let it go through the established process. I do suggest re-visiting your draft and removing any claims that are only supported by what she has stated (coming from her directly, a person/entity acting on her behalf, etc.). As I stated before, Wikipedia is not interested in what a subject has to say about themselves so using interviews (her words) and the like is unhelpful. It actually looks like the article could use some clean up/trimming as it is. With that said, if there are issues now or in the future that violate Wikipedia's biography of living persons policy, you (or anyone) are encouraged to take those concerns to the Biography of living persons noticeboard. Wikipedia does take those issues seriously. In my view, the original bit about her shoplifting did violate the policy thus I added a source (crucial, unsourced claims are a big no-no) and trimmed it. S0091 (talk) 17:33, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
It’s been over a month with no response from the Request Edit queue. How long does it normally take? Lrgoldman3 (talk) 01:04, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi S0091. The other BLP issue is WP:BLPNAME in the personal life section. Listing India’s children by name doesn’t add value to the page and seems unnecessary for private non-famous minors.

I have not had time to devote to learning more but there is much I would like to do so I hope to carve out the time and become more fluent.

Creating a new Wikiipedia Article

Having been advised that an article I created about the Reily Foundation was promotional in nature, I have reworked the page and published it. I assume it too will be reviewed. I have never created a Wikiepedia article before. Can you tell me what happens if my submission is approved? Thank you FrankHilditch (talk) 07:54, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi FrankHilditch it has not yet been submitted. If you did submit it, it would be declined as it is still promotional and does not contain any independent reliable sources. An organization's website or those of it's affiliates are not a reliable sources. I suggest thoroughly reading Wikipedia's notability criteria for organizations and Your first article. You may also find this guide helpful. S0091 (talk) 14:36, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Covid vaccine image

Hi, I am the original creator of covid19livespread.com and hence I added the image. Is there something I need to mention that I am the owner of the website? I also list my name "George Karbassis" in the copyright section of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgek98 (talkcontribs) 19:08, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Georgek98, since it is your website you have conflict of interest and should not reference it on any articles. I will leave you some additional information on your talk page. S0091 (talk) 19:16, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Reply to @Crep171166

Hi, thank you for your quick reply. I read the resource your provided to me regarding the conflict of interest. Since I am the creator of the website covid19livespread.com, how could I display the image? I believe it's a useful source for the visitors to see. If you would like a more direct conversation, don't hesitate to let me know!

Also, pardon me for being a newbie on Wikipedia. Though I have a good level of understanding in the Ethics involved, I am working out applying them on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgek98 (talkcontribs) 19:23, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Georgek98 I am not Crep171166. I think you picked up my Username from the Welcome message I left on their talk page. (I wondered how you found me since we have not interacted). I have left you guidance on your talk page. Any further discussions should take place on the impacted articles' talk pages with the appropriate edit request. If you have questions or need help, you can ask at the Teahouse. Oh and no problem on being a newbie as long as you do your best to follow Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Dick and Dom in da Bungalow

Hi

Just wondering why you removed so much info on the Dick and Dom in da Bungalow page, mainly the list of segments, games and guests (this edit). I get that a lot of it’s waffly but it’s still kind of useful in understanding the show. I would like to revert it but first I wanted to understand what you thought was unneeded about it. Sorry and thanks

RM Jessie (talk) 21:11, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi RM Jessie the content was added again and reverted by another editor largely because it is unsourced but I would also make the argument it falls under WP:FANCRUFT and WP:LISTCRUFT. S0091 (talk) 20:33, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Jogesh 69, sounds good. Thanks for the note. S0091 (talk) 16:33, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I am back with a reliable source see the last line of the first paragraph in this website ( https://www.indiangorkhas.in/2016/03/chhabilal-upadhyaya-freedom-fighter.html?m=0 ). I am reverting your edit. ThankfullyJogesh 69 (talk) 16:56, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Jogesh 69

Heu bro I am asking a little bit silly question. Can you give me a barnstar? I haven't got any award so for that I ownself awarded me so please award me a barnstar after which I can remove that fake award. 🙏🙏😂 Jogesh 69 (talk) 16:59, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Jogesh 69, that source is not a reliable source either. If you scroll down to bottom of the page, it states their source is a wiki. Wiki's are user generated so are not reliable, just like Wikipedia which is also not reliable. You really do need to take the time to scrutinize sources before you use them. One place to look is the About Us page on a site to determine if they have editorial oversight and conducts fact checking or use sources that have long standing history of fact based content. Do not be shy about asking questions at the Teahouse if you are unsure about something. Once you start using appropriate sources and show that you do good work, you will likely get a barnstar at some point. I do believe you are here in good faith and are trying, which is important.

COI tag removal

Hi! I was wondering if you could remove the COI tag on the Progressive International page since all my edits were reverted. Thank you again for all the useful information you provided and I will hopefully be able to contribute to the project now! (:ManeCuervo (talk) 11:25, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi ManeCuervo, I have removed the COI tag for now as I think it is a fair ask. However, there have been single purpose accounts editing the article for some time, generally adding content attributed to Progressive International's website, which is a concern. I will continue to keep an eye on the article and if the same pattern continues, will add the tag again. S0091 (talk) 22:28, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I added my proposed changes in the request edit template and I’m now waiting for a reply. I also added the COI disclosure on both my profile and the proposed changes on the Progressive International talk page. Hoping I did everything right this time!

Detroit Catholic Central High School

Hi S0091,

How does that constitute vandalism, when citations are provided that establish his attendance at the school. In another prior edit, I provided two sources establishing his attendance at the school, which conformed to all standards. Beyond that, all other notable alumni do not have any sources listed, while thuis individual I provided two. This individual in fact graduated from this school, and two sources confirm his attendance. It is not more a matter concerning the definition of "notability" as it seems this individual is not notable because of his profession, rather than him not being notable. PSYCHREL (talk) 23:17, 31 January 2021 (UTC)PSYCHREL

Hi PSYCHREL, WP:IMDB is not a reliable source as it is largely user generated, like Wikipedia which is also not a reliable source. The others listed as Notable alumni have articles about them so the assumption is that Wikipedia's notability criteria has already been established. In addition, Wikipedia has a stringent policy about content related to a living person and takes quite it seriously thus strong sourcing is required. I hope this information is helpful to you in understanding the warning I left. I can also understand why you may have found it jarring. S0091 (talk) 23:36, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi S00091,

@PSYCHREL: unless they already have an article about them on Wikipedia, they are not considered notable. If you believe they are, please submit an article. There are plenty in the adult entertainment industry that have met Wikipedia's notability criteria. I suggest reading Your first article. S0091 (talk) 23:45, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying that aspect, it was truly made in good faith. PSYCHREL (talk) 23:48, 31 January 2021 (UTC)PSYCHREL

This was already explained to you on User talk:Magnolia677 after your first edit, continuing to argue it with other editors is non-productive. - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:50, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
@PSYCHREL:, if you will post a note on your talk page stating you now understand the issue and will take some time to understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (will leave some additional info), I will strike my warnings and we can all start from zero.

Need some guidance/explanation about your last edit on List of Kappa Sigma members

Hello @S0091 i hope you are doing good. i just want to know more about your last edit on List of Kappa Sigma members. you removed "Kurt Uhlir" name from the list and i got the point you mentioned "note a subject's website is not a reliable source". in question to this: his name is mentioned in kappasigma official alumni magazine Summer 2011 (page 29) about him getting a patent, Spring 2014 (page 2 ) about founding a company named Sideqik, and Summer/Fall 2020 (page 42) talking about his roundtable at the White House with US President Trump. other sources for roundtable at White House are source1:c-span video clip, source2:former-Vice President Mike Pence's tweet

Kurt Uhlir is also an invertor and his patent list(his part in building the companies Navteq, Here Technologies, Vitrue) can be found here: Source for patents or here are some patent number:US7967678,US7828655,US7628704,US8070608,US7092964,EP1376058B1,US7921136.

Waze, Google Maps, Apple Maps, Facebook (in check-ins), Instagram, Twitter, and others use the technology invented by Kurt (and others) and have licensed patents include US7628704 and US8070608. This is how they collect much of their spatial data. This is the primary way that Waze collects their map data, as described (quoting these patents) in this TechCrunch article. This technology is the core technology used when you tag a check-in or post at a given location on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

Will you please take a look, when you have free time and please guide me, if still His name not qualifying for List of Kappa Sigma members?

Looking forward to your response. Thanks Zerra66 (talk) 19:54, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Zerra66 in order to be included he needs to have a Wikipedia article about him (note the blue links). I cleaned up some of the non-notable entries in the article but not all of them. If you believe he meets notability criteria you can submit an article. I suggest reading Your first article for guidance. Thanks for the question! S0091 (talk) 18:42, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Amanda Nunes

Hey, you suggested that I start the discussion on Amanda Nunes' talk page about an editing issue I'm having with another editor, which I did. I know that the standard waiting time is one week, but the editor in question keeps editing the article any way he wants without giving so much as explanation in the edit summary section, while ignoring the message in Amanda's talk page in which I pinged them, my message on their talk page, and a even a message in the edit summary section by which I tried to let them know about the discussion in her talk page, assuming that neither of my previous attempts to do so notified them successfully. That clearly wasn't the case though, they just refuse to discuss it. What am I supposed to do know ? Let their (in my opinion wrong) version be up for a week, and then what ?

Hello S0091, You are writing that you have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence. I have the written permission of Farjon, A., Eckenwalder, J.E. and IUCN to use their writings as a reference. The website is scientific and commercial, I intend to provide information to get more people to know about rare conifers. My goal is nature conservation. https://conifersgarden.com/biodiversity I just wanted to help, to get people informed from a reliable source. T.KovacsT (talk) 05:06, 13 March 2021 (UTC) T.KovacsT

Hi T.KovacsT, giving you permission is not sufficient. They must release the copyrighted material under a suitable license for it to be used by anyone since Wikipedia grants permission to anyone, for any purpose, to use content published here. Please see WP:COPYREQ for additional information. Also, the website is not a reliable source (must have a history of fact checking, have editorial oversight, peer-reviewed journals, etc.). Wikipedia does allow using commercial sites under under very limited circumstances where no other viable source exists, but that is not the case here. S0091 (talk) 15:18, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Oyveyistmir, I do not see where you gained consensus. There were two editors (not counting myself) who disagreed with the content so you should not add it back. S0091 (talk) 20:23, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi WikiArib, if I understand you correctly, you are looking for a subject to write about. Do have any particular subject areas that interest you?

Question from Moving On With Brit

Hi there, Ok, so I need to sign all my edits? Thanks Nikki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moving On With Brit (talkcontribs) 17:10, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Nikki you should not add your signature in articles but you certainly should on talk pages (like this one). In this instance, a bot came by and added for you. --S0091 (talk) 17:16, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Respectfully

Please stop changing my edits! There are a lot of wrong and misguided information that I have took my time out and thoroughly researched in order to gain the correct information. There are plenty of YouTube videos with artists themselves explaining in exact detail everything that I have added to their biography page that can not be sited as a source due to it coming from YouTube— not to mention, I do not add any information that is unnecessary or not relevant to whatever it is that is being edited. So again, respectfully, please stop converting my edits. You would not like it if somebody went down your list of edits and reverted back everything you just spent your time on editing, so do not do it to others. Voice4People (talk) 00:28, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Voice4People please do know I have no animosity toward you and I do understand your frustration. Simply put, if you cannot cite sources to support your additions or changes, then you should not do it. Wikipedia (right or wrong) does have policies and guidelines that should be followed and generally the policies/guidelines have been vetted over the 20 year history of Wikipedia's existence. You are welcome to try to change them and they do get changed with consensus from the community. At this point, however, you have ignored the community's guidance and not just from me. You have received guidance/warnings from several other editors and with reason. You came here with a certain point of view, which is fine but you are a bit a bull in a china shop as Hipal noted with some very kind guidance for you, which you have again chosen to ignore. If you disagree with WP:CONTEXTBIO, then maybe a good start is to post a note on the talk page of that guideline asking why the guidance is written as it is (i.e. don't force your idea but try to understand then take it from there). S0091 (talk) 00:56, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

What exactly am I ignoring? That I’m making some edits without citing sources? If that is the case, then literally almost ALL of Wikipedia’s editors should be receiving the same exact treatment, because I can assure you that all the edits that I have made are of edits that have not been cited at all and are filled with incorrect or misguided information. So how can I and why should I be getting “warnings” for editing things that was not cited in the first place, especially when I’m editing them to the CORRECT information? Telling me to not edit a false and misguided biography just because I can not cite a source from YouTube that is directly from the words of the Artist themselves when these people just freely edit and add this type of information on a daily does not make any type of sense— not to mention that the same false and misguided information that they’re adding- was not cited to begin with!!!!!! Voice4People (talk) 01:09, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Wikipedia's standards are evolved over the years so things that were acceptable before are no longer acceptable now. Saying there is other content without sources so sources are not needed is an insufficient reason for your inability to provide sources. That argument will get you nowhere here. Period. Just sayin'. S0091 (talk) 01:24, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

You literally, without prior knowledge, revert edits back to a false and poorly written biography that was not cited, without adding any further citations as well, so respectfully, you’re just as bad. Voice4People (talk) 01:44, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Sure, keep following that logic. Do read WP:INDENT though. S0091 (talk) 01:55, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Elizabeth Sidney

Dear S0091,

Good advice is always welcome. I believe Liz Sidney was a notable person not only because she had illustrious relatives, but because she was a good poet herself. Ben Jonson said that "The Countess of Rutland was nothing inferior to her Father, S.P. Sidney, in poesie." John Donne, Francis Beaumont and Overbury also spoke highly of her, and wrote about her. Unfortunately, almost nothing of her poetry survived.

Could I ask you to review my draft when it is finished? How could I send it to you from my sandbox?

Sincerely, Vit13:32, 22 March 2021 (UTC)Vitmats137 (talk)

Hi S0091, I didn't consider the article a final/totally complete article at present, but felt I had put a basic outline in place to allow other editors to improve on what i had done in able for an final, strong, article to appear. Open to your input on better way to attract editors eyeballs for improvements then to go ahead and publish it. Thanks ahead of time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:FridayNightLights2002 (talkcontribs) 20:43, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

FridayNightLights2002, Wikipedia's criteria is more stringent than it was a decade ago. The expectation now is that notability be established with independent reliable sources before an article is published. Please also note Crunchbase is not a reliable source so should not used (see WP:RSP). TechCrunch is debatable but certainly not enough to establish notability. S0091 (talk) 21:02, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi S0091, I removed the TechCrunch news article (didn't know there actual reporting wasn't viewed as trustworthy, as many in the VC space follow and put great credence on what is released and updated there and on CrunchBase). Any other pointers/input on the article? Is submitting it for review the correct next step? Should I reach out to the company or to their rivals for input on the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FridayNightLights2002 (talkcontribs) 17:04, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Jack Brewer Page Updates

Hi, I would like to know what is the problems with my updates about Jack Brewer, I have all the references covering the updates and also I add the Insider Trading resolution, I am still getting undo from you!! Fadebmxl (talk) 01:22, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Fadebmx (talk · contribs), did you see my edit summary? There are some sources you are using Wikipedia has deemed unreliable, external links in the article's body, non-neutral language, etc. I did not mention Fox News in that summary but they have been deemed generally unreliable for political content. Given the volume of changes you want to make, you do need to start a discussion on the article's talk page to gain consensus. I suggest starting with just a couple of changes (what you find most important for which you have the strongest sources) and taking it from there. I do appreciate you asking! S0091 (talk) 01:44, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Re: Delvis Dutton

Greetings! The addition I made to this page is wholly and accurately taken from a "Police Report, 4/14/21" in the (online) version of The Statesboro Herald, the official Legal Organ for Bulloch County, GA. No information external to this published report is included. It is available to and accessible by the public with a free account. Also, neither do I have multiple accounts on Wikipedia nor am I coordinating comments or edits with any other party. Thank you!![1]

JoePatroni (talk) 23:14, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi @JoePatroni:, please read WP:BLPPRIMARY. Wikipedia will not use police reports for controversial material, which is what the source provides. What is needed are secondary reliable sources reporting about the matter (think main stream media). The reason for the note about multiple accounts is because you are adding the same content with the same sources as another account which does raise some suspicion. S0091 (talk) 23:38, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

References

Hello, @S0091, and thank you for the quick reply. I guess I assumed a long-standing news publication and legal organ would be considered 'main stream media'. Mea culpa. As to the similarity to other editing by other users, that could be easily attributed to the fact that the (alleged) victim of the reported charges is a very popular blogger/reporter (with a dedicated/diverse following) with her own local/regional news website and whose editorial video commentaries have even been featured numerous times on WAGA-TV (Fox5Atlanta), the Fox network affiliate in the #7 US market. Back to the "main stream media" issue, what level should be seen as a baseline standard? Thanks, again! JoePatroni (talk) 23:49, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

The source you provided is simply restating the police report along with the reports of many other incidents. I am not from your area but I am sure Atlanta has a least a couple major newspapers along with your standard local news stations (like a local NBC affiliate). If the standard local news has not covered this, then why would it be included in the Wikipedia article about him? S0091 (talk) 00:05, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
It is not just

Thanks @S0091. I see where more coverage would be advantageous...agreed. The fact this is happening 200 miles from ATL makes it less a story here. Again, your guidance is appreciated. JoePatroni (talk) 00:28, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

It is not just advantageous; it is required for inclusion. I have to be honest, the fact that it is in a smaller area makes it more surprising to me it has not been covered by that area's local media and even more surprising if the purported victim is a news reporter of that area (or surrounding). Thank you for the discussion. I think many folks look at Wikipedia as a mere website here to simply disseminate information from wherever it comes, but it is actually an ever-evolving encyclopedia, thus certain standards to apply.

edits on page "audiotool"

Hey S0091,

I've read your comment regarding a potential conflict of interest. I was aware of that risk and hence, I a) limited my edits on page Audiotool to corrections and b) explicitly disclosed me being affiliated to the project. If that's still not sufficient, I can of course use edit requests for future matters!

--Koeln Andre (talk) 21:25, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Koeln Andre:, you did the right thing by declaring your COI in you edit summaries. However it strongly preferred those with a COI make edit requests rather than edit the article directly. Generally, COI edits are reverted (undone) but I did not think for the most part the changes you made were particularly problematic, except for the number of users (needs source) and removing the "Needs more sources" tag. Please do be aware content should cite a reliable source and unsourced content can be removed at anytime. As it stands currently, most the of the article is unsourced thus the tag is correct and should not be removed. Honestlly, what would be helpful for the article is providing sources unaffiliated with the company. I appreciate the note. S0091 (talk) 21:59, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
Dear @S0091: - thanks for the feedback and clarification.

I plan on being in this industry for quite some time. Advice?

Article Kolinda_Grabar-Kitarović

Hi! I partially agree with the changes you made to my latest edit within the page. It is my mistake I did not make a comment. Nevertheless, I only remove what seems to be a cited source, but those sources actually do not exist. I also added some sourced activities related to that part of the article. You also added an Overly detailed tag. I agree with that, so I thought about working on the whole page actually to make it better. Should I work on that in a sandbox first?

As this is a part of my school assignment, I started working on some other non-existing pages. One was declined, saying it needs more sources, would 2 sources work for such cases? E.g. Draft:Sanja_Musić_Milanović? Thanks for your help!

Lina.daccor (talk) 07:39, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Lina.daccor: No need to work in the sandbox first. The article clearly needs some work so if you are willing to put in time, I say go for it. Just be sure to use clear edit summaries for any major edits. Your original edit is still in the history so you can copy the content you added from there so you do not have to rewrite it.
As for your article, generally 2-3 quality sources that provide in-depth coverage of the subject (at least couple solid paragraphs) should be sufficient. Thanks for the message and good luck with your assignment! S0091 (talk) 04:07, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey SOO91, great advice about the Wikipedia features and condiments if you will on my talk page. I don't think those existed during the time I used Wikipedia or if they did I was unaware of them, so definitely good and important to know. Thanks for your fun facts. Also, I have been diligently working on the gridded episodes for each season through Microsoft Word and would like to test out what I have for the opinions of you and Aiyo through a sandbox. I remember using a sandbox many moons ago to create a page or edit with another user, but haven't done that in ages and do not remember at all of how it works. Can either you or Aiyo start one please so I may show you what I have thus far? Thank you! JudgeJudyCourthouse25 (talk) 13:20, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Heya JJC25, the easiest way is just to use your userpage (located at User:JudgeJudyCourthouse25) or a dedicated subpage created with a forward slash (so User:JudgeJudyCourthouse25/sandbox). My sandbox is at User:Alyo/Sandbox and then I've actually even made subpages of that, e.g. User:Alyo/Sandbox/1971 Howard Bison men's soccer team. But the personal sandbox link I just gave you above will work fine. Paste the material in there, hit save, and then just make edits as though it's a normal article page. Once it's done, we can just move that page into the main space for articles and it'll save both the content and the edit history. Alyo (chat·edits) 14:20, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

There are some bits I think you can use and you might be able find more in Google Books but I think it will take some digging because the initial results are her books. S0091 (talk) 19:02, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Hi S0091, I hope you are well. Thanks for this response, but what is that source for? If you are indicating the need for a source for season 2 episodes, I already have found that. The same source I found for season 1 provides sourcing for all of season 2. When I mention the need for help, I am asking if you have the time and interest in starting the season 2 article from the source I have already found which is at that page. It's just a lot of work for me alone. Thank you! JudgeJudyCourthouse25 (talk) 19:57, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
JudgeJudyCourthouse25, sorry, I misunderstood but I actually suggest waiting until Season 1 is reviewed by WP:NPP, which may take a couple months, before putting a lot of time into Season 2. If Season 1 does not pass WP:GNG, then the reviewer has two options, WP:Draftify or sending it to WP:AFD for a deletion discussion. I am still concerned about not having enough in-depth coverage from sources specifically regarding Season 1. The sources seem to more about the show as whole with some mention about Season 1 which may not be enough to pass WP:GNG but I could be completely wrong. You might also try posting at note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television to get some input. S0091 (talk) 20:19, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Haha! No worries and I think that's a good idea, your suggestions. As you know more about this is kind of thing than I do and where it all needs to be reviewed, do you mind jumping on that ship. I wouldn't know the first thing about all that. If it passes inspection, could you help me with getting started on season 2 as well. Honestly, season 1 was more work than I thought and if I am all alone in the endeavor, I think it's just going to have to be season 1 for me. She has a thousand episodes per season. LOL! Thanks for all your help S0091. :) JudgeJudyCourthouse25 (talk) 20:52, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
JudgeJudyCourthouse25, full disclosure, I have actually never created an article so keep that in mind. I have just picked up on how things work around here through my normal course of business, which is generally cleaning up cruft. Also, while I record/watch JJ religiously, have one her books and an autographed photo of her, I'm, like, not a fan (I mean none that suggests I am, right? LOL!). Anyway, that does question my ability to neutrally write about the show. I think I can because I do believe in doing what is best for Wikipedia and I think it would be fun working with you. I will need to mull it over, though (I'm lazy too...so there's that as well). S0091 (talk) 21:15, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Oh and I think you did a great job writing Season 1. S0091 (talk) 21:25, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
S0091, you get "Wikipedia Comment of the Day" Award for that whole posting above. I just got an absolute field day reading your postings. I especially fell out at: full disclosure, I have never created in article/autographs, books; I'm, like, not a fan; question my ability to neutrally write about the show/I'm lazy... so there's that as well Golden! But wait a minute! Now thinking about it and when you put it that way, what in the blue hell am I doing contributing to her articles myself is what I'd like to know?! I have her books, a real life autograph, I haven't created a Wikipedia article since 2013, and as far as being lazy... I think I promised ya'll I would have season 1 done back at the beginning of the summer. LOL!!! But I'm taking the spotlight off of me. We'll just pretend like none of this is the case. HAHAHA! But anyways, you are pure gold. Thanks for your kind words and if your verdict is to create the article, just hit me up Judge S0091. It's your judgment call.

Minced oath: 1 july 2021


Yes, I added some examples of minced oaths in some languages, but they do not require a reference.
references are normally required for scientific opinions, political definitions, and such, not for common knowledge and common expressions.

Hi IP, I think you need to read WP:V and WP:OR as what you describe above is not accurate. Things like "the sky is blue" is common knowledge but a Hungarian expression is not, especially given this is the English Wikipedia. However, you are welcome to start a discussion on the article's talk page to gain consensus for your addition. S0091 (talk) 20:56, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Joe Musgrove question

hello. I’m curious as to why you removed Joe Musgrove’s siblings names?

Return

Hello Why did you return the article and delete the sources? This article is flawed and does not relate to the sources mentioned and discusses it many times while the articles written by the sources are said to exist if they exist. There is also a drawback that he explained at the beginning of a section, which he said the same thing again! In explaining a company should be checked with information Phacker1 (talk) 18:39, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

While this content was just a description and brokers review resources about it are enough. In the case of various parts of the company and the regulator, it is possible to inquire about the documents from the company's website itself, which was added to the source. Also, part of the description of the owner was transferred to another part to improve the writing, and the source was also transferred. Phacker1 (talk) 18:50, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Phacker1:, I am assuming this is about Alpari Group. If so, please see my edit summary. The sources used to substantiate the content you added/changed are largely not reliable. Please be aware Wikipedia does care what a company says about itself, information coming from them should not be used unless it is for basic uncontroversial facts (like location, CEO, etc.). What is needed are independent secondary sources that have editorial oversight and a history of fact checking. You might find WP:RSP helpful. While it is certainly not an exhaustive list of available sources, it does give you an idea of the types of sources that are considered reliable and unreliable. For example, Crunchbase is deemed unreliable because the content is user-generated. S0091 (talk) 19:28, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Well, yes, it is. The information that I added can also be seen about what services this company offers and the ways of paying for it, which is completely transparent, even by referring to it itself. The items that have been deleted are also mentioned in the lower sections The next case can be fully examined about the types of branches and regulations, because their types are explained in different websites, and it can also be obtained with a little research and inquiry. When I write about a company, there is no published article that we can use, but I can still use those sources based on the reviews done. I still try to find more approved sources. Thanks. Phacker1 (talk) 19:37, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

@Phacker1: The lead should simply summarize the most important information in the body of the article. Generally, if it is not covered in the body, it should not be mentioned in the lead. You can read more at MOS:LEAD. Also, ideally one should not need to do their own research and inquiry, thus the need to cite reliable sources. If there are no published reliable sources to support the content, then it should not be added. This includes reviews. For example, user reviews themselves cannot be used because they are inherently user-generated but if a secondary source writes about the user reviews, that can be used or if the review comes from a independent source (think NYT book reviews). Also, I have ask, do you have any affiliation with the company (employee, contractor, client, etc.)? S0091 (talk) 19:59, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

As for the lead, I know how to provide the initial explanation. There are some ambiguities about this article and its content that should have been removed, but the part I replaced was also provided on most websites. No, I have nothing to do with them. Of course, I do a lot of research on these types of companies. Phacker1 (talk) 21:08, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

@Phacker1:Thanks for the reply. It sounds like you are in the industry so you might give WP:Expert editors a read for some guidance (although it leans more towards academia some of it might resonate to you) . I suggest starting a discussion on the article's talk page outlining your concerns. Of course you will need to provide reliable sources, etc. Also, if you have not already, I do strongly suggest reading WP:NPOV and WP:RS, along with this guide on using talk pages (specifically WP:INDENT). S0091 (talk) 21:34, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Kindly look into article Purvanchal Expressway

Hi, can you please have a look at article “Purvanchal Expressway”, an unexplained, repetitive sourced info removal is being done, I urged the user to take that to talk page, it has been more than three reverts, I also placed a three revert warning on his talk page, and again urged him to solve the issue by talk page discussion. It’s been so many times, he is continuing to remove the referenced data. Every now and then he is responding by removing the sourced info, without any explanation or discussion. I even asked him to refrain from making numerous reverts and engaging in edit war, wait for a consensus to be reached on talk page, even an experienced user 25Cents asked him for the same and pinged him on talk page, he reverted his edits too. I assume some kind of sockpuppetry. Can you please see into this? Thanks in advance. Shresthsingh71 (talk) 11:11, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Changes to R. Alexandra Keith article

Thanks for incorporating my suggested edit on 7/11/21 to the page for R. Alexandra Keith. I noted quite a bit of content from the bio was then deleted, in the next two hours, via three rounds of edits by user JBchrch. It strikes me that the text was factual and straightforward, rather than promotional... i.e., the prior version described her as CEO of P&G's global "$12.89 billion" Beauty business, a fact that seems germane to her credibility on Wikipedia. Might you be able to help me understand why this text was cut, and whether it or any of the other cuts from 7/11 can be undone? I appreciate your help!

Phoenix Fernsby (talk) 21:20, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Phoenix Fernsby:, I have a good guess but I do not want to speak for JBchrch.

Hip Hop Movement draft

Yes that you for you notice, I'm just trying to learn this process, I when all of the please on here looking for help, I don't know why those users saying promotion or what ever I'm just trying to put the Hip Hop Movement article back up, its been there for years with the help of other users making sure I did the article right so it pass review and it did years ago, then afert 5-6- years these users took it down and going so hard for no real reason other then what everyone is saying that i told and ask them to go see whats happening on my talk page and my article and everyone said the samething. I wrote those articles because I can really relate to what happen to this hip hop pioneer Ron "Bee Stinger" Savage, his story went worldwide there is nobody in hip hop that has not heard the allegations and the fact that yes indeed he coin the term Six Elements of the Hip Hop Movement thats why nobodt bothered the smale Pice in the lead in hip hop article and Hip Hop Music, I did to a new draft of Hip Hop Movement started it off totally diffrent and with only a few sentences that was no were near the old ine those same allies took it down without no vote no nothing 2 days after i started the new one ang going around asking everyone for help. let me fill you in so you know what the real deal is which is documented with timestamps:


I ask that you all be opened minded and go outside of Wikipedia for a minute and look at hip hop pioneer Ron "Bee-Stinger" Savage. I did an article called: Hip Hop Movement approx Sept - 0ctober 2016, on October 03, 2016, it was tagged for Speedy deletion nomination of Hip Hop Movement, I won the dispute and the article was placed in draft so I can work on it until the admin user who had the biggest issues felt it was ready to be published, boy did he give me a way to go, I was new to wiki at the time, the great thing is other users helped on the article so it would get approved and it was reviewed and went live. The Hip Hop Movement article has been approved surviving a Speedy deletion nomination and has been on wikipedia since 2016. On July 7 & 8, 2021 Ron "Bee-Stinger" Savage appeared in a film with over 685,000 views called Zulu Nation The Frist Gay Family of Hip Hop. (In 2016 Ronald Savage alleges in the daily news and on the internet that at 15 years old he was molested by the Godfather of hip hop Afrika Bambaataa that hit worldwide.) Ronald Savage spoke in this film about his alleged allegations that he has not spoken about in years. On July 17, 2021 User Piotr Jr goes and deletes the 100% fact that Ronald Savage coin the six elements of the hip hop movement – out of the Hip Hop article and with no reason given other than it does not belong in the lead then goes over to Hip Hop Movement article and puts it up for Speedy deletion nomination, then goes over to Ronald Savage article and deletes out of the article that Ron helped pass the Childs Victims Act in NYS and claims it’s not in the NY Daily News (refs) and removes all recordings that Ronald Made and says Amazon doesn’t count, all this just 9 days after this documentary comes out and is the talk of hip hop. On July 24th, 2021 is went I noticed everything on wiki, and that same day I frantically tried to save the hip hop movement page, even offered users to help edit the article and getting BLOCKED by Piotr associates after wondering why he told user Robjwev don’t put the 6 elements of the Hip Hop Movement back into hip hop when he undid what Piotr did. I restated a new draft hip hop movement page Approx Aug 4, 21 that had nothing close to the old article with a new aim. With ¼ of a paragraph done on Aug 6, 21 user Bbb23 placed Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Hip Hop Movement, I contest the nomination, and with no discussion on the matter at all on Aug 7, 21 JBW just deled the article out of nowhere. Today then you pasted welcome your contributions, with a tag Managing a conflict of interest. It was like a call from God. Please can we make sure they don't try to take this other new one down while we are building it, and also I wanted to put the Six Elements Of Hip Hop Movement back in the lead at the bottlem of the hip hop article and also back in hip hop movement with public enemy trust they know it was there, this just seems very strangest this is why I wanted to bring it up to Wiki. The timeline and everything, this article being taken down has nothing to do with refs or promotion what every that means because if that was the case wiki is promotion for all these artist and companties which i'm nither or.

Barangay Buntay Dagami, Leyte

I just want to say that I am a resident of this barrio, and in fact, it was me who first upload this article way back 2007 when I was in my college because it is on one of my project in one of our subject. we lack records as to the origin of our barangay, and we only rely on the knowledge of the elderly in our place.. yet you tell me that wikipedia or any verifiability of wikipedia cannot find any reliable source of it .. well, yes you cannot because even us in our place, we cannot, that is why we rely in the elderly of our place.. and i did post such record in wikipedia, hoping that many of the future Buntayanons will be able to see that.. yet you edited it as if you know our place... kindly return back the main thought of our record because you edited it in a way that it goes far beyond what was told to us here. again, i am a resident of this place and my parents and forefathers are native of this place, so i presume that i know better than you. Harith vale (talk) 23:42, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Harith vale:, I understand and sympathize with what you are saying but original research is not allowed on Wikipedia. What is required here is verifiability, meaning I personally should not need to know your place in order write a Wikipedia article about it. Anyone, anywhere in this world, should be able to gather sources in order to construct a Wikipedia article about a particular subject. What you know to be true is not relevant unless a published reliable sources have chosen to write about it. I know that puts limitations on what can be presented here, such as oral histories, but that is the consensus among the editing community. I hope this makes sense and does not come across as being dismissive. I do appreciate you expressing your concerns. S0091 (talk) 00:02, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

OMG

i think i am wrong that i posted such information in wikipedia.. even the true owner is not accepted..


well anyways, i must tell our people here not to believe what is posted in this article about Buntay because it is not what it is and was edited by someone who is not knowledgeable with our place.

i was really wrong posting that information

well anyways, thank you for your response .. you may dismiss me of you want... you may delete also that article of buntay as well if you want.. because it is not what it is in our place.. [[User:Harith vale|] (talk) 00:18, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

@Harith vale:I think this is a misunderstanding about Wikipedia. I am not sure if you have taken the time to read the information I left on your talk page, but if not, I strongly suggest you do (along with the blue links in my response to you above). There is no owner of any article here. It is a collaborative crowd sourced effort. If you do not agree with Wikipedia's policies, you are welcome to propose changes but I do recommend gaining an understanding about Wikipedia and why the policies exist first. S0091 (talk) 00:30, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

sir/maam


i am aware of that policies.... that is why i only edit the article of buntay because though it is not "solely my own", though it was me who posted it.... i edit it because i am aware that whoever can edit that.. and that is the reason why i edit it back for "us" in our place to read it and to the world to know about us

i edit it it because i want to update it and to correct it from the main source here.. and not everywhere.. i am contributing our source here because you cannot find it anywhere...

i edit it because i want it to be what it is in our place, the fact in our place..


the way you edit it is not what it is in our place sir/maam

now if someone from our place will read that, what will they say because of the way you edit it


you cannot find any printed copy or reliable online copy of our history here.. because if there is one, aside from this article i posted on 2007, i will not bothering posting... i feel disappointed because you edit it with your own ideas only... you don't have any reliable source as well, yet edit it so much that it goes far from what the fact in our place Harith vale (talk) 00:56, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

@Harith vale: Simply put, if there are no published sources to support the content then the content should not be on Wikipedia. That is policy; not me just making shit up just because. As I said before, if you disagree with Wikipedia's policies, then you are more than welcome to propose changes (I suggest starting with WP:V). They actually do change if there is consensus from the community. S0091 (talk) 01:11, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

i did post that article before hoping that through it, atleast our place will be known.

common... Harith vale (talk) 04:47, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

your edition is not helpful so far as to the true user is concern.when i say true user, i mean to the people in our place.. and it is the fact as to the facts in our place where this article or post came from

now my question is, on what source did you get to edit this article? Harith vale (talk) 01:18, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Read WP:PROVEIT. It is the burden of the editor who added the content to cite published sources; otherwise it can be removed. Technically speaking, I could have removed all the content because no sources are cited (or nominated it for deletion) but I firmly believe (even without sources) this place does exists and should be part of Wikipedia (despite policies) so I trimmed it to removed what was clearly original research to get it down to what seemed to be more straight forward factual information that could possibly be sourced. You seem to want to argue about all this which really is not the best route to take. If you believe my actions are wrong, the you can pursue dispute resolution but just be aware the request will be to provide published sources. S0091 (talk) 01:36, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

omg Harith vale (talk) 04:50, 14 August 2021 (UTC)


that is the problem sir/maam

since there is no irrefutable other online data with regards to this Buntay history article, then you can do whatever you like... i know it is on the policy


however, i am telling you this.... because i know this article, then it is not what it seems to be in our place . and so therefore, from this view, how can we trust the other posts in wikipedia?

it is the policies i know, that anyone can edit..


however on my part, i never edited in wikipedia which i know nothing about.

unlike you, you just turn around the policies and told me that what i know is irrelevant... common sir/maam... you are most welcome to visit our place and bring your policies, and we will tell you here that your edit is not as what it is in here..

what will happen to our future reader here if they read your edition? they will perhaps believe you because it is posted here online... however, the real truth in our place is not what you edited...

come to think of it sir/maam editor Harith vale (talk) 01:28, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a reliable source so no one should trust anything written on Wikipedia (see WP:CIRC). Readers should evaluate the sources for themselves but those sources must first exist. Thus our issue here. Honestly, what I find most frustrating about this discussion is your declaration that you know Wikipedia's policies when it is abundantly clear you do not. At this point, you are just hounding me over things that are not about me. If you have any further questions or issues, please ask at the Teahouse. I am personally done here (on my talk page) but I would like to reserve the right to come visit Buntay because I am sure it is a very special place with spectacular people. S0091 (talk) 01:47, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

thank you for that eye opening statement that wikipedia is not a reliable source .. it really helps a lot and it makes sense to us now... Harith vale (talk) 04:48, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

@Harith vale: Oh good! You know, what you could do is add a map and/or perhaps provide a a photo. Thanks for the note. :) S0091 (talk) 20:11, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

well, i reserved the rights to do that...

since anyone can edit and twist whatever posted here, our barangay secretary told me to open a page on face book and there we will posts our article.. i have told our barangay people especially our students who rely on online search this time about this encounter with you and the Buntay article. i showed them your responses about wikipedia

thanks anyways for telling us about wikipedia.

i will not be bothering posting anymore in this site Harith vale (talk) 22:05, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

@Harith vale: I think having your own platform for documenting Buntay in the manner you and the other people of Buntay see fit is great idea and glad to hear that is being pursued along with letting students know Wikipedia is not a reliable source. If they do use Wikipedia, they should evaluate the sources independently to come to their own conclusions which is a fantastic exercise for critical thinking and independent thought. Truly, Wikipedia in and of itself should not be used a source which Wikipedia itself states. As far as using online sources in general, as long as the source has editorial oversight, a history of fact checking, being peer-reviewed (this more pertains to academic sources), etc. they should be fine using those (none of which Wikipedia has on the whole).

Hello, just got your message about my page being denied and marked for speedy deletion. I was under the assumption that this was a draft page because it was in my sandbox and from what I had (mis)understood from another article on draft pages. This was not meant for the final page. I am going to read up on this more and try again, but the reasons for deletion do help me in the creation of the next draft. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. JayMrslangs (talk) 20:29, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Mrslangs: you are not wrong in your understanding about sandbox or draft pages but there is certain content that does not belong on Wikipedia no matter what "space" it is in. Copyright violations (a legal issue for both Wikipedia and the editor that adds the content) and promotional content is among them. My first tip is to summarize what reliable sources have written in your own words. Also, Wikipedia does not care what a subject has to say about itself so sources stemming from them or their affilates (such as their website, press releases, etc.) should be avoided. What is needed is significant coverage from independent reliable sources in order to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. You may find WP:42 and Your first article helpful (along with the other blue links in this response). Another tip is when is you do submit your proposed article for review, explicitly state which notability criteria it meets. Also, if you are affiliated with the subject you need to follow Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. If you have questions or need help, you can ask at the Teahouse. Thanks for the note and asking questions! S0091 (talk) 21:13, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

question on my edit

Hi how do I add the title draft back? Sorry I thought that would automatically go back on it. Change352 (talk) 22:15, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

@Change352: for templates is two "curly" brackets, like {{draft}}. If you are linking internally to a Wikipedia page or article it is two "straight" brackets, so [[Gangsta rap]] renders as Gangsta rap. Thanks for asking! S0091 (talk) 22:19, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

answer to your question I just read

Hi yes I know her. You can delete my post and account as I didn't know the rules of this. Why would anyone write an article if they are not affiliated with the person or organization? I bet most of them on there are, but oh well. Those are your rules. I asked a friend to help with the draft since I was unable to get it done last year. It is not a big deal and I will not try to contribute anything in the future. I was trying to help get her info on the site because she has limited information online. But thanks anyway.

@Change352:The reason people write articles is because they find the subject is noteworthy enough to warrant inclusion in an encyclopedia (Wikipedia is an encyclopedia after all). I mean, think about your statement for a minute. Based on your viewpoint, why would someone write about Benjamin Franklin? Aside from that, Wikipedia is not the place to start an online presence. Wikipedia is backward looking, rather than forward looking (see WP:WPNOT), meaning significant coverage from reliable sources must already exist. Yours is a common misunderstanding, which is fine (no knock on you personally).

Hi, I'm Himu and i read your reply on my talkpage

Yes, I love editing although I'm new, I dont know how to talk here any help on how to do so is welcomed! I did edited some stuff like James Bay chaos and the calm deluxe edition all songs were missing from disc 2, i added them here I umm changed Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud to Thinking out Loud and also fixed ed sheeran divide album bugs as in songwriting credits of one of his songs was Joseph Addison, people incuding even me got confused it with english essayist after digging a bit i found out Killbeatz is the songwriter and his full name is joseph kwame addison so i changed it to Killbeatz there

I dont know if i was supposed to say it all here, or it even counts as minor edits but thank you:) That's it all i wanted to say!HimuEdits (talk) 10:12, 16 August 2021 (UTC)HimuEdits

Your edit on Ed Sheeran's single Thinking Out Loud

I noticed you reverted the page back to a previous version, may I ask what exactly did it changed? Also, I changed Thinking Out Loud to Thinking out Loud as out isn't capitalized in song titles as it's incorrect according to my knowledge. Maybe we could discuss it together and find a way? Thank you and waiting for your reply! HimuEdits (talk) 17:06, 16 August 2021 (UTC)HimuEdits

@HimuEdits: dawnseeker2000 was the editor that reverted the article back to a previous version. However, I suggest starting a discussion on the article's talk page so other editors can participate. S0091 (talk) 15:47, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Follow-up re R. Alexandra Keith article

Hi again, S0091 - thanks for your feedback about the R. Alexandra Keith bio. Might you be able to check the bio's talk page, for the edit that I requested on 7/27/21? I'm not sure it's actually in the queue for review, as normally, there's a notice regarding number of requests ahead of mine, and I am not seeing that, this time. I appreciate your help!

Phoenix Fernsby (talk) 00:46, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Phoenix Fernsby: you forgot to add the {{request edit}} template so I have added for you. Another trick is to add {{reftalk}} underneath your citations which will keep the references within the relevant section, in a tidy box, rather than the bottom of the page.

What you could do to improve the article's chances is to go through the sources and connect them inline with the text they support, as I did with two of the sources.

-- hello, Spiegel is europes largest publication magazine and most respected investigative journalism, and known to cover only independently with reliable sources. no one can have a better source than spiegel there is no press release please look again other wise the encyclopedia is missing notable and outstanding patents and discoveries and inventions and only made for CNN. you want a coverage from CNN --Lichtsun (talk) 08:49, 12 September 2021 (UTC)


Der Spiegel is known in German-speaking countries mostly for its investigative journalism. It has played a key role in uncovering many political scandals such as the Spiegel scandal in 1962 and the Flick affair in the 1980s. According to The Economist, Der Spiegel is one of continental Europe's most influential magazines.[7] its like the washington post in europe and only talks big business and investigative journalism the best of the best reference one can get in the world. thanks for your understanding . your from the USA or Israel or where are you from , you must know der Spiegel ? its the best magazine in the world and largest circulation in europe its super notable to have a full page in this publication never happens with press releases your wrong please look again. thanks i dont belive that this company is interested in mass media campains but only science and technology and patents for real inovations.

source wikipedia itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Spiegel

Der Spiegel has a distinctive reputation for revealing political misconduct and scandals. Online Encyclopædia Britannica emphasizes this quality of the magazine as follows: "The magazine is renowned for its aggressive, vigorous, and well-written exposés of government malpractice and scandals."[12] It merited recognition for this as early as 1950 when the federal parliament launched an inquiry into Spiegel's accusations that bribed members of parliament had promoted Bonn over Frankfurt as the seat of West Germany's government.

Awards for Jellyfish

How do i step up an Emmy list for Jellyfish Pictures. and what sources you want me to remove? I'm stressing out like hell and i don't understand what you guys want. BMA-Nation2020 (talk) 17:54, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi @BMA-Nation2020: You do not need to set up a list or table but mention it in the article (a sentence or two about it). If you can find the sources from the Emmy, BAFTA, etc. websites that would be very helpful. As far as what to remove, I listed the "worst offenders" (Twitter, LinkedIn, their website) but also go back through your sources and remove anything that does not specifically mention Jellyfish. I came across a couple but do not remember which ones they were. No need to stress; there is no deadline. :) S0091 (talk) 18:03, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
I don't know which ones you want me to removed. There's so many of them! plus, i found one that has them won an emmy for Your Inner Fish but i'm not sure it's enough for your pleasing. BMA-Nation2020 (talk) 18:07, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
@BMA-Nation2020: You got most of them. I also removed the Instragram one so you will need a source to support that content but you likely have one already in the other sources. The last two sources (#17 and #18) do not mention Jellyfish so not sure why they are included. Yes, if you can find additional sources supporting the awards, add them. Also, it's not about "pleasing me". It is about meeting Wikipedia's criteria as established by the community. S0091 (talk) 18:29, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Abdullah Sulaiman Al Rajhi

Hi I don't understand why you consider al rajhi bank as not a reliable source !! this bank has a high authority in the world of finance! also, I add more sources! like a journal article with a picture of the person that improves the reliability of the subject Ihabb88 (talk) 01:39, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Ihabb88: please read WP:RS. Sources need to have editorial oversight and a history of fact checking, which generally a bank does not (it is not a publisher, like a newspaper). In addition, they need to be independent from the subject, which clearly they cannot be because he is the chairman of the board. Please do follow and read all those blue link that have been provided to you. S0091 (talk) 01:49, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

@S0091: ok I publish more than one source! not only al rajhi but also argaam and meed and an article that spoke about abdullah's reward I think is enough ! Ihabb88 (talk) 18:30, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi. About Alex Yeung.

Alex Yeung is notable enough in Hong Kong, and he is the son of Dr. Albert Yeung, one of the famous businessman in Hong Kong. Alex Yeung seems to be the successor of his father's kingdom Emperor Group. A lot of exposures in Hong Kong Media of him make him sufficiently notable.

Hello @ S0091 regarding the rejected draft i first made research as provided under WP:RS and decided to create it following WP:1E given the fact that: (1) All links used are Reliable Sources (2) A quick google search about the individual mostly talks about her Investing Huge sums of Dollars, and Taking Akon to Uganda to Explorer Investment Opportunities (Very Many Reliable Links).

The individual is also reliably reported as Akon's wife according to every single link about her, which makes her notability undisputed as per WP:1E; When She took Akon to Uganda, the government offered him big land for AKON CITY establishment as reported. This in my Opinion implies that without her, Akon could not have gone to Uganda for business so, basing on WP:1E, both: her own Uganda Investment Agenda and Akon's City building grow with her as a masterminding induvial, So there is no justification to put emphasis on those events (Investing in Uganda and Introducing the husband to the Uganda Government) and ignore the Creator of these events, In conclusion: The Individual is very notable for those widely reported events in the reliable and independent sources and as per WP:1E i do not see justification for writing about these events indecently, wright about the Individual making those events to happen and talk about the events under her article. Further more, without abandoning the WP:BEFORE besides being a wife to a prominent International Music Star Akon, She is reliably reported to have jointly managed a number of Prominent artists that include Jay Z, Usher, Mixmaster David, Karl Palmer of Star Kutt Records, Demarco, Lady Gaga,T-Pain among others together with Akon under her Zanar Entertainment company through KonLive/Universal and also co-produced a full feature film Chocolate City.
AND NOT TO LEAVE OUT IS She has made business with Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni,who even Nicknamed her. It Is not that anybody can just meet and dialogue with a President. I therefore kindly request that you humbly review the article once more and make a decision basing on those above terms of use. Thank you Very Much. Kind Regards Hercot (Hercot :) 10:42, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
Also a mere fact that She is Akon's wife makes her notable. Hercot (Hercot :) 22:29, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Ppacot: Notability is not inherited so being Akon's wife or managing notable musicians do no in and of themselves make her notable. As for WP:IE, sources need to explicitly state her role was significant. What is, in your opinion, "implied" is synthesis, thus cannot be considered. Either way, you have resubmitted the draft so another editor will review it. S0091 (talk) 15:44, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

rejection follow up

Hey Soo91, Hope you are having a nice weekend wherever you are. I received a rejection for you for my page submission, with the note: "Please do not resubmit until significant coverage about her from reliable sources can be provided. Current sources are just the announcement she is CEO."

I've been contributing to Wiki for a year or so now and would love to learn how these decisions are made. I would appreciate if you can teach me how to make more efficient and better cited pages.

For example, the now former CEO of Tinder, Jim Lanzone, has a page. On his page, it says "On July 27, 2020, Match Group announced that it had appointed Lanzone as the new CEO of Tinder.[21] On September 10, 2021, he was announced as the new CEO of Yahoo, after the company was sold by Verizon to Apollo Global Management.[22]"

In his page, citations [21] and [22] are equally announcements much like Mrs. Nyborg's. They are arguably from less reputable sources than the one's that I shared, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety respectively.

I guess my question(s) is/are if those citations are appropriate and sufficient for Mr. Lanzone's page, why would they not be for Mrs. Nyborg's? She is clearly listed on Tinder's press page leadership page with a further announcement from Tinder.

I'm just trying to learn on how I can improve moving forward - I would love to contribute more to Wiki, but I don't understand why the methodology of 'legitimate' citations doesn't seem to be equally applied across Wikipedia. Can you please help me?

-Fabriemo

Hi @Fabriemo:, comparing to an existing article is tricky (see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) but for Jim Lanzone, the article was created back in 2011 well before he became Tinder's CEO and Tinder is only very briefly mentioned in the article so is not what established his notability. Also note, there are several sources covering him, including a New York Times article and an entry in the Current biography yearbook. This may be a simple case of WP:TOOSOON for Nyborg, meaning she is likely to gain the coverage needed for an article in the future but they do not exist right now. In that case, leave the draft active and periodically update when coverage is available, then resubmit when enough coverage has been established. S0091 (talk) 20:17, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

I see if I am understanding correctly, the rejection is not about the citations for her work but actually a lack of citations for her as a person from legitimate sources. So the announcements are sufficient for providing evidence but she is not yet high profile enough in terms of internet sources... as loosely compared to Lanzone's page he has a cover page with the NYT and a mention in the Current biography yearbook both which help to establish his legitimacy. After that the citations are more credible effectively because people have already established who he is. Am I understanding correctly?

(Note: don't forget to sign you messages with the 4 tildes ~~~~). It's both. There is not much anyone can say about her as CEO given she just took the role and there is not much about her as a person, yet. Jeff Bezos was Time's Person of the Year in 1999 (before Wikipedia existed) which clearly was tied to him being the founder/CEO of Amazon but what he was doing as CEO had significantly impacted ecommerce and disrupted the retail industry (still is). Now that is a extreme example but I hope that helps some. Also, to be clear, Nyborg is legitimate so this is not to be dismissive of her accomplishments but legitimate and Wikipedia's definition of notability are two different things. But yes, in the end once she has more significant coverage then the article can be appropriate sourced (and likely expanded). S0091 (talk) 21:09, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

About Draft:Bidsquare submission references

Hello, I created a Bidsquare page recently which is rejected by you due to 'submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article' and comment is the NYT article is just a very brief mention of them along with other auction sites and the Forbes article is written by a "contributor" rather than staff, which is not a reliable source, see WP:FORBES. Significant coverage about them from quality sources is required.

Bidsquare is one of the reputed online auction platforms in the USA operating globally. I have added two reliable sources one is Nytimes and the other is Forbes but both references got rejected. Also, Bidsquare never sponsors and promotes the auction event on Nytimes or Forbes, the content present in both the platform is by the Auction Houses who promoted their auction event on Bidsquare.

So requesting you to consider references submitted and review the same.

Critics on Democratic schools article

Hey S0091,

you criticized my article "Democratic schools". Your criticism was that there is already an article with the same name. However, that is a listing of Democratic schools. So it is a completely different article. Regarding the criticism that my article is an essay, I have tried to optimize the article with the user David notMD, here. If this is not enough for you, can you please tell me more concretely what exactly about the article reminds you of an essay?

Thank you, --Altiflash (talk) 18:13, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Altiflash: Apologies for the confusion! I see in the first section of the feedback I linked List of democratic schools but in my comment I linked Democratic education. I must have had both articles up and copy/pasted the incorrect one. I meant Democratic education. I see it has been rejected again for the reason I intended. I also see you tried to start a discussion on the Democratic education talk page but no other editors participated.

Hello S0091

You wanted me to adhere to the entertainer guideline and find more notable citations, I believe? So I add citations from the The Salt Lake Tribune and the New York times. And flesh out the article to show that Lisa Alvarado "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" She has been on NBC, Nickelodeon, Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen, and Nuovo TV. There are a lot more listed on her IMDB but I did my best to link to direct shows and sources. Still working on that but I think there is enough to show this point. In november she will have an appearance on HBOMAX but I am not sure I should mention that until it happens?

She has had a few TV interviews that I tried to include.

I also add a more significant section that shows she Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. There is an ABC News story that went to various affiliations nationwide about the documentary she did on Michael Schmid.

A did add a youtube link to show her start on Last Comic Standing. Since its a 2003 show, there is no place to watch the rest of her work on that show without getting it from NBC and at this point I am not sure if its necessary? Let me know what you think? Still need to figure out how to add allowable images.

I am re-submitting because I believe that is what you suggested. If you need anything more I would love to know. Thank you for your consideration and assistance!

Sarah LaSpisa --Sarah LaSpsa (talk) 20:38, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Sarah LaSpsa: have her roles on those shows been "significant", meaning starring, lead support, recurring, etc.? As for sources, what is needed is significant coverage, independent of her so interviews generally are not helpful for establishing notability (if most of the content is coming from her, then it is not independent). For example, the NYT article has about one paragraph of coverage about her which is not quite enough in of itself (the focus was really on Nicholas). The Tribune is also scant once you discount anything she said or is attributed to a statement from her. Its tricky. I might do some digging myself (I personally think highly of comedians). S0091 (talk) 21:17, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Help on verified sources.

Hello, I need help finding sources that have information on Mz Boom Bap, I have talked to Mz Boom Bap directly and provided me with the information in my draft, I am new to Wikipedia editing, as this is my first article, I'm not sure why Mz Boom Bap himself isn't a source. He is very happy and excited about me working on this and I hate to disappoint him by not having it accepted. If I can't find any independent sources, is it impossible for my article to be accepted?

Thank you for taking the time to review my draft. Sodapoppers (talk) 01:48, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Sodapoppers: one of Wikipedia's core policies is verifiability; therefore, Original research is not allowed so what he says is not usable. What is needed are published reliable sources to support any claims made. Above and beyond that, to be notable by Wikipedia's definition, significant coverage is required. If those do not exist, then a Wikipedia article will not be accepted. S0091 (talk) 01:59, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Struum Submission Decline

Hi S0091, I saw your decline of the Struum submission. This topic did receive a lot of coverage from seven independent sources, do you have any advice in terms of additional news articles that it would need to be approved? Let me know! KhariMotayne (talk) 15:36, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @KhariMotayne: the sources provided are essentially press releases which do not confer notability. What is needed is in-depth coverage independent of what Struum has to say about itself. Generally startups do not have this type of coverage because there is not much research/analysis that can be completed thus my note about WP:TOOSOON. S0091 (talk) 16:03, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Myself and other items about bufferbloat.net

Thx for the rapid review, edits, and kicking back the page about myself for better sourcing. On submitting myself... I didn't want to edit what had lain in draft for so long, but it seemed close, so I submitted. I agree learning how to edit wikipedia better first would be a good idea. I have 3 problems:

1) Is an article on lwn.net not considered definitive? (it is the premier linux

site) - some of the best articles about bufferbloat came from lwn.

2) My overall intent was to start moving over some well understood content over from bufferbloat.net to wikipedia. This includes updating the codel article, generating an fq_codel article (The default qdisc now in billions of boxes), cake (which got kicked back for a copyright reason I'll try to resolve), some edits to the packet scheduling article and the AQM article, something more detailed about what the DRR++ "flow queuing" in rfc8290, smart queue management (SQM), and "BQL".

The thing is, me and my site are the reference authorities for a lot of this stuff in the first place, and while I can find secondary sources like the ietf drafts and published papers in journals, the vast, vast bulk of the work was done on ietf or bufferbloat.net mailing lists and in code in the Linux and BSD kernels.

Can I point to a mailing list?

3) I can cite a thousand+ more papers on bufferbloat-related topics (see google scholar for the subject) but was unable to figure out how to cite things properly - although I did just now figure out how to cite rfcs properly.

The problem here is that I am one of the main experts here, and since jim gettys retired, nobody in the effort has been willing to edit wikipedia.

Anyway, I think I will start a page on BQL or Flow Queuing and learn more about how wikipedia works!!! and merely an answer to whether or not lwn is a definitive source, per item 1 above, would help. Thx for taking a peek.

I have been working on my draft on this building in Tunisia, I added several sources from Arabic newspapers, I could not find many sources in French, I also added a reference to Google Books, I removed the tourist guide and added more information, the draft is ok? do I have to work on something else? add more references?-Seb { 💬 Talk + 📝 Edits } 17:41, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Request on 00:16:05, 7 October 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Ljunkins


I have been working on the article about Tennessee Genealogy Society. I understand why I needed to remove citations from the TNGS website. I am an unpaid volunteer with the society. I do not understand how that is a conflict of interest. Are you saying only someone who is not a member of the society can submit an article?Ljunkins (talk) 00:16, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Ljunkins (talk) 00:16, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Ljunkins:, I take you have not read the guidelines yet. You can submit an article through AfC but even a volunteer has at least a COI. If you are an intern, then that counts as paid. The other issue is that it appears you are citing yourself or someone else associated with the organization. Those publications are not independent. What is needed are multiple independent reliable sources that have covered the organization in-depth. If those do not exist, then an article is not possible. Thanks for the question!

Bali Balm Edited Source

Hello S0091,

You have recently reviewed and commented on the article I created Bali Balm Draft. I can understand and completely appreciate the comments that you made. I am just wondering whether you offer some sort of consulting service?? in which you could help and advise me on how to improve my article so that It can be successfully published onto Wikipedia.

I am fairly new to Wikipedia and It would be a great sense of achievement if I could get my first page published and then continue to contribute to the Wikipedia platform.

Would greatly appreciate your help/tips and it would be great to learn from you, I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you--The-info-guide (talk) 15:46, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Regarding Draft:Antinalysis

You labelled the draft as "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article". The site has been covered by BBC, Elliptic and Forkast in complete news articles. Elliptic is the lead blockchain analysis firm and Forkast is a popular new source for cryptocurrency, if you look online, you'll see hundreds of media news coverage of Antinalysis.

Antinalysis is the first publicly accessible blockchain analysis service(which was only made available to state actors previously) and an onchain privacy advocate, and I really hope you do your research on the subject before denying the page creation application. If you think the content is insufficient, please feel free to contribute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dnresearcher (talkcontribs) 03:24, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Kristin Cavallari page

Hey this annoying Wally person keeps reverting my edits because Kristin Cavallari is 'not known' for being an author and fashion designer (ACCORDING TO HIM) when she totally is... All of her books were New York Times bestsellers and she is currently known for her company Uncommon James. He also added unnecessary 'citation needed' parantheses to her filmography paragraph even though every single movie she's been in in the paragraph has a Wikipedia article which clearly lists her as a cast member, and he's reverting the list of books she's written from being a colon to a hyphen which just pisses me off because you write a list with a colon when the preceding phrase is a complete clause so he's just insulting my intelligence as well. I'm not an expert at Wikipedia but is there any way to block him from editing her page because he seems to have a history of doing this nonsense on other pages and I'm tired of reverting his reverts of my edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.35.240.92 (talk) 19:57, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Draft:James_Thuch_Madhier

Hi, you recently rejected my page submission for the above on the basis of the quality of the sources. If I understand you well, there's some good ones (news, not interviews) some medium ones (news, interviews) and weak ones (blogs, organisation's websites). I consider him notable based on what I've included and also other stuff online, so my plan is to delete the weak ones. My question is, which "medium" quality sources do you consider to be good enough to keep, versus sources that overall detract from the quality. I'll then delete the rest, attempt to get more of comparable quality and resubmit. Any other advice is welcome. Thanks in advance. CT55555 (talk) 17:18, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @CT55555:, my comments were not as clear as they should have been so I have updated my comment both on the article and your talk page. Currently, the best source cited is the Toronto Star. Blogs are not reliable sources so you do not want to use those at all. The weaker sources are fine to use just to support a fact but they will likely not help with notability. For interviews, if they are mostly Q&A with no additional in-depth coverage, then they are not useful for establishing notability. The Toronto Star is good example of an article where portions are an interview but portions are independent coverage about him. I hope this helps and I apologize for any confusion.

When I said that about guidelines, this is what I was going of of.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_wizard/CommonMistakes Cerambycidfreak (talk) 23:29, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

@Cerambycidfreak: I see. Paid to edit = WP:Paid while Yourself/connected = WP:COI. The Article Wizard should really be more clear than it is because "paid" does not mean "cash". It really should say "financially connected". Paid disclosure is required but with COI disclosure is very strongly recommended. Neither prevent you from editing but there are guidelines for both on how you edit. Either can lead to a user being blocked but paid is much more straight forward in that regard because it is a policy/Terms of Use contract.

Request on 13:37:50, 18 October 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by The Yacht Watcher


The blanket rejection seems unjust. Please explain what makes this < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_Motor_Company > from an equivalent sector, automotive as against yachting, acceptable but my submission not. Each is written with expert knowledge and while mine is criticised for journal referencing, with Morgan Motor Co it is accepted.


The Yacht Watcher (talk) 13:37, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

@The Yacht Watcher: as far as other articles, please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I did look at the article history and it was created in 2004 with around 250 editors contributing to date. The reason I made the comment is because much of the draft appears to come personal knowledge with quite a bit of editorializing and puffery rather than what the sources actually state. Wikipedia articles should simply summarize what independent reliable sources have chosen to say about a subject. Please note the draft was not rejected but declined, meaning it may be notable but is not suitable for main space in its current form. I suggest rewriting it with a neutral point of view and removing any content that is not supported by independent reliable sources. If you have questions or need help, you can ask at the Teahouse.

User

Dear @S0091,

There is one editor here by the name of Theroadislong. They're pretty well known, and they edit a lot. But they give me a lot of trouble about problems with citing websites. Like, I get it, but also I think they should be more clear what the problem is.

So first of all, how to cite a website? I do it like this... Wikipedia.org, "User:S0091", retrieved 10/19/21. How's that? They say it's wrong. What's the official way to do it here?

Second, could you talk to them (User:Theroadislong) about being clearer, and actually telling me specifically what's wrong? Also could you talk to them about actually being nicer to me? Instead of the same, abrupt message again and again? I showed them some examples of citing web sources (how I'd do it). He said it's trolling, and ignored me.

This would be appreciated, Thanks

COI in reference to Brodie Deshaies

Hello. Thank you for putting a message on my talk page in reference to a recent article I created: Brodie Deshaies. I do not personally know the individual in question, but do live in the state for which he is a representative. I noticed a large amount of members of the New Hampshire General Court do not have any information on wikipedia, even though there is information/sources about them online. Deshaies happened to be the first person I created a page for. They are elected officials, and as such do meet the requirements of being persons of interest. My COI goes no further than living in the state this person is a public employee of. Thank you for checking. Appreciate the help. --Independent NH Politics (talk) 23:01, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Institute for Excellence in Writing article rejection followup

Hello S0091,

I am reaching out to you asking for guidance about a Wikipedia article from me that you rejected last month. I am new to the Wikipedia editors world and would like your help making my article better

First things first, conflict of interest should be addressed. I am an intern at the company I am writing about, which I disclosed in the talk page of my article. In your feedback you asked that I disclose my COI if I had any, leading me to believe that I made an error in the way I disclosed it, since you were unable to find my disclosure. Did I use the wrong template to notify Wikipedians of this?

I have recently been working on collecting more reliable sources, since that was your main objection to its publication. I am currently planning to use Podcast episodes from industry publishers interviewing the founder of IEW to establish basic facts about the company and it's history. Are these considered reliable since they are published from independent venues? or is it a problem that the information is coming from the founder?

Also, the organizations that have given awards to IEW are prominent within their industry, do they still count even though they aren't mainstream media sources? If they do not, I can remove that section altogether.

Article URL for your reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:Institute_for_Excellence_in_Writing

Any help you could give me in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Refriedintern (talk) 22:09, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Refriedintern: my apologies, I missed your declarations on the talk the page. You have done everything correctly. So for the sources, I suggest reading the notability criteria for organizations as it goes in-depth with helpful examples. Interviews do nothing for notability even if the source is reputable because the content is not independent. Like you state, it is coming from the founder so you are spot on with your query. In order to support the awards are notable, absent a Wikipedia article about the award, you need other sources that have written about its significance. I hope this helps. S0091 (talk) 17:24, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

This is very helpful feedback, I will review the information you have suggested to me and do some more digging to see what meets the notability requirements and take out whatever does not. Refriedintern (talk) 18:19, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Question regarding rejection of new article: Kevin McManus (filmmaker)

Hi S0091! I'm new to Wikipedia, so I was hoping you might be able to help me figure out how to get my article right! It was rejected for the topic/person not being notable enough, but this person is referenced a lot on other wikipedia articles. Specifically the films in which he wrote and directed as well as the shows he's written for. These Wikipedia articles include: Funeral Kings, The Block Island Sound, 13 Cameras, American Vandal, Cobra Kai and Davinci's Demons. He also won a Peabody Award and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. There are a lot of other cast and crew members from these same projects that have Wikipedia articles with fewer references. For example an actress from 13 Cameras has a Wikipedia article with only a few references to a website called SoapCentral.com and IMDB. That's why I assumed this individual was notable enough to write an article about. I tried to include as many references as possible, but perhaps I added too many? Should I have only included references from well known organizations and websites like the Emmy Awards, the Peabody Awards, South By Southwest, Deadline Hollywood, Indiewire and IMDb? Thanks so much for your help! TheMologger (talk) 19:29, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @TheMologger:, oh yes, please do mention the Peabody as that it not clear. Take at look at Dan Lagana which was created back in 2018 to get an idea. You are on the right path though. IMBD is not a reliable source (see WP:RSP) but your use of it was not the reason for the decline. S0091 (talk) 20:05, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi @S0091: Aha! That is so helpful, thank you so much for taking the time to give me some guidance. I've gone back and made some changes! Again, I really appreciate your help! TheMologger (talk) 22:26, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Brian Tudor Speedy Deletion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Brian_Tudor

I am an avid fan of specialty card tricks and when I found that wikipedia had articles about it I was surprised to find that they didn't have a profile for one of my very favorite magicians. How does Lee Asher,, Chris Kenner, Daniel and David Buck - Dan and Dave who all worked with him have pages, yet he does not?

He is mentioned in several articles as the creator of the genre:

[[1]] (Multiple mentions) [[2]] [[3]]

The authority on card flourishes, Jerry Cestkowski said in his book, Tudor had "very, very good flourish cuts and some unbelievable false flourish cuts." (http://docshare.tips/the-encyclopedia-of-playing-card-flourishes_587545e9b6d87f86848b49f5.html )

You asked for more independent sources to confirm his notability, the article lists that he is cited as notable by:

1. Vanity Fair 2. Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes 3. Urban Dictionary 4. Genii Magazine 5. Magic Magazine 6. DecemberBoys.com.ua 7. Bicycle Playing Card website 8. "Flash Cards with Jerry Cestkowski" podcast

Under "Requirements for Notability of Entertainers", he qualifies under: 3. Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CardistryExpert (talkcontribs) 02:32, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

I am in contact with the cited noble contributors such as David Copperfield, Chris Kenner, and Dave and Dan, but they all don't understand why the draft would be rejected.

Do you have any tips to help me accomplish this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CardistryExpert (talkcontribs) 14:18, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @CardistryExpert: Please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. It is quite tricky to to use existing articles as leverage as to why another article should exist because over time Wikipedia's notability criteria has become more stringent and sometimes things do get by when they shouldn't, even today. It is highly unlikely Dan and Dave (magicians) would survive a deletion discussion and Asher is unlikely as well. I think one the issues is this is a really niche topic with few sources available, even if he is influential within those circles. My suggestion the for books you cited is use Google Books (they are there, I checked), along with including the ISBN number and the page numbers that cover Tudor specifically. For the reviews of his DVDs, also include the page numbers along with a summary of the review within the draft's content (you can quote a sentence from each, if needed). The other sources are either poor sources or contain brief mentions about him. S0091 (talk) 02:42, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
@CardistryExpert: forgot to mention I do have a subscription to newpapers.com and I did do a search but forgot my password. Anyway, what state is most likely? I thought Nevada but it only got 2 hits. Utah had over 200 but without being able to login, I was unable to determine if those were him and I certainly to do not want to wade through 200 if Utah is a definite "no".

Hi S0091. Thank you for your comments on my article Draft:Securitize. I have updated the draft to now include additional recent secondary sources focused on the company including Fortune, Bloomberg, Nikkei, The Information and El Pais. These are all top shelf publications; Nikkei in particular is the most widely read business newspaper in the world. I have also removed the primary source citations (government agencies) as it seemed from your comments I should only cite secondary sources. Hopefully this now exceeds the notability requirements.

I agree with both the points you made about this draft. 1 - Yes, I should have focussed on the product and not the company, I appreciate the changes you made to it. 2 - I didn't realise the military source was a trade publication. I didn't add much about the operation of Surgibox, so I was able to change that bit. It was the only source that spoke about it having military use, so I've dropped that from the draft. I probably should have put this in a comment, but I couldn't figure out how to make comments (I'm a few months new here). I also removed the infobox, as it was for companies. Inviting you to review again (apologies in advance is that's not the correct process, not sure if this will go back to you or to just anyone else). CT55555 (talk) 14:03, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @CT55555: no need to apologize! Quite the opposite as I appreciate your contributions and efforts. Even though I have been around for over three years now, I still feel new because there is always something new to learn here. The best place to put comments is on the draft's talk page which you did so all good there. If you need the NDIA source to support the military use, do add it back. My comment was strictly about assessing notability. It's not a "bad" source, just perhaps weaker than a mainstream publication. Also, there is an infobox for products if you want add that instead, see Template:Infobox product (fyi - how I find things is searching within Wikipedia, either by searching WP:XXXXX or in this case I knew it was a template so searched template:XXXXX). For reviewing, we choose what we want review so there is no order/process in that sense. Generally though, if I have declined a draft I prefer someone else review it as another reviewer may have a different perspective, catch something I missed, etc. Thanks again for your contributions. S0091 (talk) 15:46, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi @S0091: Thanks for the encouraging words, the way you are giving feedback is helpful, I wish that was more normalised here, Wikipedia is a little daunting and the learning curve is steep. Anyway, I've added the produce infobox and re-added the "military" source with commentary about the later on the talk page. I don't think you (or anyone) rejected the draft page yet, I think your suggestions was the only feedback. All the best CT55555 (talk) 16:41, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi again @S0091: Thanks for approving the draft. I was on the brink of giving up on my Wikipedia editing, as so many recent articles I tried to create got rejected. Getting this one approved has been a useful learning experience to see what it takes to pass the notability bar and the quality of sources. I'll use these lessons for the other articles I'm working on. CT55555 (talk) 21:57, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for creating the article @CT55555: and for your perseverance. Wikipedia is a lot to learn. My best suggestion is to read, not only the policies/guidelines but also their talk pages because that gives you an idea of various editor's perspectives. I also suggest reading WP:AFD and following some discussions when articles are nominated for deletion and feel free to participate. I admittedly do not participate, but I should. Really, what reviewers are trying to ascertain is if the article would survive a deletion discussion so while some of the feedback from reviewers may seem harsh, that is really the reason. Surgibox still has to go through WP:NPP and they assess the same but I think it will pass and would pass a deletion discussion, thus my acceptance (though I could be wrong). The Telegraph article was a fantastic source, then supported by WSJ, NDIA (not as strong, but ok) and the awards (alone not enough but in combination made a strong argument for inclusion) along with the fact it had been written about over the course of years (I think WSJ was 2016). Also, take advantage of the Teahouse if you are not sure about something. And lastly, the drafts you have created I believe often have simply been WP:TOOSOON, which is not a waste. It is not entirely uncommon even for seasoned editors to work on a draft for years, adding/amending as necessary until they are comfortable it meets the criteria. S0091 (talk) 22:41, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey, S0091. I saw that you accepted the draft for Gondomania. As a new page patroller, I'm required to have at least two reliable, independent sources before I can release an article for cataloguing by search engines – that is to say that it needs to meet the GNG. While I can accept HG101 as a source since they have an editorial staff, I believe arcade-museum.com is primarily WP:UGC, which isn't acceptable as a reliable source per Wikipedia's guidelines. Therefore, for the time being, I can't patrol this article. I'm going to look for sources, but it's entirely possible this doesn't meet the WP:GNG.

Hi @TheTechnician27: thank you for letting me know about arcade-museum.com and apologies I did not catch that in my review.

Request on 19:04:34, 3 November 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Robert Presto

While Wikipedia does emphasize that "primary sources cannot be used to establish notability", it only states that reliable sources are "generally" (not "only") secondary/third party ones, emphasizing that "the best sources have a professional structure in place for checking or analyzing facts, legal issues, evidence, and arguments".

Although forward looking statements in annual reports should certainly not be considered reliable (given their inherently speculative nature), for backward looking ones at least (which all of my annual report references are), publicly owned companies have such structures in place, at a minimum, in the form of auditor's reports which, to quote Wikipedia, "derive value from increasing the credibility of financial statements, which subsequently increases investors' reliance on them."

Considering the legal and marketplace repercussions for both the company and its auditors for making false backward-looking statements, annual reports should therefore not be considered inherently less reliable than secondary sources when it comes to such statements.

That all said, it wasn't my preference to rely on them to this extent, and it's not like I wasn't aware of Wikipedia's preference for secondary sources. But unfortunately, most of my references to annual reports involve basic (backward looking!) facts, figures and/or information that are unavailable from secondary sources. But that's not surprising in the case of the 1980 annual report (to which the bulk of the references refer) considering that is the year the company went public and how much information finally gets revealed in such an initial annual report that might previously have been unavailable to outside secondary sources while a company was still privately owned.

Regarding the specific candidate references for converting from an annual report to a secondary source:

  • Reference 1/12: considering the unreliable inconsistency of different secondary sources on whether the company was founded in 1970 or 1971, I think it's better to stick with the more reliable annual report since it specifically clarifies that the company was founded in Nov 1970 and began operations in Jan 1971
  • Reference 3/22: considering the unreliably vaguer wording used by the secondary source I additionally cited in reference 23 - "the third-largest laser company in the world" - I thought it was better to use the more reliably specific wording used in the annual report - “the world’s third largest company specializing in laser products”
  • Reference 16: there is an alternative secondary source I could use for this
  • References 17, 29: there are additional, though not really alternative, secondary sources I could provide for these

Do you still think it's important to change the one reference (16), and add the other two references (for 17 and 29) if there are no alternative secondary sources for any of the remaining references to annual reports?

Otherwise, when you say to "avoid peacock terms that promote the subject", for the most part I'm only quoting the sources themselves who used those terms at the time. Is that still a problem from Wikipedia's perspective, even if they're not my words?

I could remove the phrase "on paper elevating GSI Lumonics to the fourth largest high-tech company in the Ottawa area" since the source for that (the FP500's ranking of Canadian companies by revenue) does not specifically make that statement and it (the statement) could also be considered "original research" (though the source is a secondary, not a primary, one!)

Let me know if you see an issue there and what, more specifically, you still think is problematic, given everything I've said.

Robert Presto (talk) 19:04, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi S0091, Could you please answer my two(/three) questions above and, again, let me know what, more specifically, you still think is problematic, given everything I said above? Thanks! Robert Presto (talk) 07:46, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Robert Presto: in a nutshell, Wikipedia does not care what a subject says about itself, in the this case Lumonics. Using the annual report to support the year the company was established is fine. To to support claims such as "the largest", "significant year", etc. is not. An article should simply summarize what independent reliable sources has chosen to say about the company, without editorializing. S0091 (talk) 15:03, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi S0091, Point taken with respect to the clause containing "significant year" but references 23 and 38, both reliable secondary sources, say "the third-largest laser company..." and "the largest producer of laser-based manufacturing equipment" respectively. Is it editorializing to quote these most notable statements that these independent reliable sources made at the time? Robert Presto (talk) 21:14, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
@Robert Presto: Yeah, that's fine. Apologies I missed that. And good job indenting! S0091 (talk) 21:27, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi S0091, Thanks! So otherwise basic facts taken from the annual report, with details that aren't available from any secondary sources - such as those citing references 18-21, 24, 25, 39, and 42 - are OK as long as any editorializing that might happen to be present is removed? Robert Presto (talk) 21:57, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
@Robert Presto: it depends on the "fact". If not self-serving or potentially controversial primary is likely fine. Really, WP:SELFPUB is the better guideline. S0091 (talk) 22:07, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi S0091, I've updated the draft now, more specifically either replacing those references to an annual report that I could with, or adding, a more reliable secondary source and either removing/rewording some phrases that could be considered editorializing or putting such phrases in quotes if it's actually the source's wording. You can compare it with the previous version to see the changes. Let me know what else you think might need to be revised before the article gets moved to main space. Thanks! Robert Presto (talk) 19:40, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi S0091, So what is left for me to do? How shall we proceed from here? Let me know. Thanks! Robert Presto (talk) 01:38, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
@Robert Presto: resubmit it and another reviewer will will review it. S0091 (talk) 00:08, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi S0091, Is it a standard part of the review process for each successive reviewer to find (including know where to find) and read the comments exchanged between previous reviewers and the author, so that the new reviewer is aware of any considerations they should take into account before deciding whether to approve a submission? If not, how does the author formally inform the next reviewer of such considerations (as part of the resubmission process) so that they can? Robert Presto (talk) 22:48, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
@Robert Presto: the draft should stand on its own regardless of the reviewer, just like a live article should in main space. There is no need for another reviewer to know exchanges that take place on other pages (there are many places where exchanges occur). However, you can add comments on the draft's talk page. You may also find WP:THREE helpful and note those as well. S0091 (talk) 23:18, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

One Knoxville SC Article submission declined

Hi, thank you for your speedy response to my article submission. I saw your comment that I needed more than local coverage. I have included a reference directly from the United Soccer League Two website, which is not a local affiliate and is a reputable, reliable secondary source that is independent of the subject. Additionally, although the sources I have included are local, they are published, independent, and not affiliated in any manner with the club. The club was founded earlier this year, there simply is not a large circulation of coverage to draw from other than local news. See Wikipedia article "Vermont Green FC". Vermont Green is another expansion team joining USL League Two in 2022. Vermont's article was approved with a similar number of references and local coverage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CGSize (talkcontribs) 01:17, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @CGSize: The Vermont Green article did not go through the AfC process and it does not look like it has been "patrolled" by a reviewer yet. I also see the editor that created the article has had a few of their articles later deleted due to notability issues so its hard for me tell. Either way, you are welcome to resubmit your draft and another editor will review it. I appreciate the note. S0091 (talk) 14:56, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

About Draft: Numskull (Brand)

Hello Soo91 and thank you for taking the time to have a look at the Wikipedia page.

I noticed that it has been declined for notability and significant coverage. Numskull games has already been mentioned in Spike Chunsofts approved Wikipedia page as the publishers and I'm trying to link the two together. I have removed the Spiel times reference which I agree wasn't a reliable source. if you take a look at other game developer and game publisher wikipedia pages such as Digital Jesters wikipedia page, it has no 'Notable' references. Similar with Beyond Software Wikipedia page where it only has 1 reference. Can you help me understand what steps I need to make to get the notability sorted as I have provided quite a few different references in which should be notable enough according to wikipedia standards. thank you.Constantine200 (talk) 19:08, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Constantine200: Please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Looking at existing articles can be tricky because Wikipedia's standards have generally become more stringent overtime and what was acceptable a few years ago is not acceptable today. Also, even today articles can get by when when they should not. Right now we have over 2,000 drafts waiting to be reviewed by AfC, about 9,000 total pages waiting for new page review and over 6 million articles. If you want to compare an article, I suggest finding one the has reached Good Article status. S0091 (talk) 19:31, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
@Constantine200: Oh and WP:THREE is a good guide. S0091 (talk) 19:38, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Creator Economy

Thanks for reviewing the page I created. Copyrighted material? I wasn't sure there was any. Sure I used the sources but I rewrote everything in my own words. What exactly are you referring to? Please let me know so I can rewrite it accordingly. Thank you! MaskedSinger (talk) 17:02, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

I saw your note and the copyright detector. Thanks. MaskedSinger (talk) 17:14, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi @MaskedSinger: here are a couple, the paragraph beginning with "According to Taylor Lorenz’s reporting for The Atlantic, the term was originally....." is the exact wording from the New Yorker article. Same for sentence beginning with "The earliest creators occupied...." is the exact wording from the Stripe blog. I am only providing the beginning portions so I do not replicate the potential violations here. S0091 (talk) 17:22, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Understood and thank you. Not sure what happened. I thought I fixed that before I uploaded. Must be an old draft. My apologies. I will take care of this. MaskedSinger (talk) 17:30, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
@MaskedSinger: I thought that is likely what happened. You have been around for a while and I didn't see where this had been an issue before. S0091 (talk) 17:35, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
It has never been. I'm embarrassed about this especially as I think it will be an important page. I was quite surprised it hadn't already been created. It was my honor and privilege to do so. Not an auspicious start... MaskedSinger (talk) 17:41, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
@MaskedSinger: well, now you know about Earwig so going forward you can double check yourself. We all have "ooops" moments: learn, fix, try best to not repeat. S0091 (talk) 17:52, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
I've updated the draft. On Earwig, it's down to 2%. Is this acceptable? I don't know what the allowed threshold is. I haven't resubmitted it yet. Re changing it from Economy to economy. Yes of course. Whatever you think is best. How do I do this?MaskedSinger (talk) 18:15, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
@MaskedSinger: oh yeah, 2% is just fine. I generally look at hits that are 40% or higher. Often they are not really violations such as direct quotes as long as the quote is within the limit (usually a sentence or two). . Generally, what you looking for are entire sentences or paragraphs that are largely word-for-word and clearly a creative work of the author. Things like "John Smith was born in 1929." would not be a violation as there is really no other way to say that. To change the title, you perform a WP:MOVE. It's an easy process. When in edit mode, you should have a More tab at the top (where Edit, History, etc. is) with Move as an option in the drop down. S0091 (talk) 18:41, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Ok great. I made the move and resubmitted. Thanks for being such a great editor. Really appreciate you taking the time to explain everything. MaskedSinger (talk) 18:50, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
@MaskedSinger: Found this Wired article you might want to use (found by searching Wikipedia for the term "Creator ecomony"). Also, don't forget to address the blogs. You can post on note a the draft's talk page. S0091 (talk) 19:20, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll take a look at that piece. My brain is fried so I'm going to stop for today. Go out for a walk and get some fresh air. I imagine once the page is published, many more much better editors than me will improve it accordingly. Additionally, as more people become aware of the page and it becomes a topic that is more well know, others will also improve it. Also news will happen over time that causes new content to be added. This is just meant to get the ball rolling. As for the blogs, I felt because they were voices of authority, they were ok. But if you think they're problematic, I'll remove them.

Richmond, Minnesota

Hey S0091 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:AC56:2000:9117:BC27:D0B6:439C (talk) 02:19, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

I am new here. I just read your Wiki page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond,_Minnesota) while working on my family tree. I have ancestors who came to New York City in May 1856 from Germany via London, England. Upon arrival, they proceeded to Stearns County, Minnesota. The 1860 census lists them living there, and the post office is named Torah. That name obviously existed long before 1890, or am I mistaken?

The town was incorporated in 1890, but went by the name Torah, because there was another town in southeastern Minnesota named Richmond.[11] The same year of its incorporation, a Great Northern Railway station was built.[14] The town's post office and railroad station was named Torah until 1909, when the other Richmond's post office closed. 2605:A601:AC56:2000:9117:BC27:D0B6:439C (talk) 02:10, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi IP, as a collaborative crowdsourced project, no one owns a Wikipedia article. I am simply the last person to edit the article which was to remove silly vandalism (about poo). I do note the 1890 date is regarding when it was incorporated not necessarily when it was established. If you have a source supporting when the city/town was established, please do feel free to update it. Do you have an account? If not, I suggest registering as IP addresses can change frequently making communicate difficult. Registering is not required though, of course. Also, the Teahouse is a great place to ask questions or get help. S0091 (talk) 15:15, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Regarding submission of article on Thought Provoking

Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia and I recently submitted an article that was rejected with the comment that Wikipedia is not a dictionary. I believe the article goes into more detail than the standard dictionary description, which is generally a very brief overview. I cross-referenced to many Wikipedia sources for keywords which, on their own, would likely be classified as dictionary terms, e.g. film, literature, fiction etc., plus outside sources that go into more detail for specific terms related to the article heading of thought provoking.

Would you please reconsider the article and let me know how I can improve this.

Thanks for your help Davenz1 (talk) 00:57, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Davenz1

Hi @Davenz1: in order for it to be a Wikipedia article you need in-depth coverage about the term itself, not just the definition, then summarize what those sources say about the term. For example, sources like scholarly journals or books that have written about the history of the term and its usage over time. Also, external links do not belong in the body of the article, although that is not why I declined the draft. I hope this helps. S0091 (talk) 01:38, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Jessica Adams

Hi - thank you for your feedback on the Jessica Adams page I recently submitted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jessica_Adams_(astrologer). Jessica is already mentioned on Wikipedia as she was one of the founders of Girls' Night In series. She is mentioned on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls'_Night_In

As I am fairly new to Wikipedia I started Jessica's new wikipage from scratch rather than starting from a link on the above Wikipedia Girls' Night In page. Would it have made a difference if I'd tried to create the page from her existing mention?

Regardless, I have added in more sources, though many of the articles written about Jessica in her early career are pre-internet/around when the internet was just being developed, so unfortunately some of these articles simply don't exist online. But I will continue to look & see if I can find anything more.

Look forward to any further feedback you may have. Hope you feel the page is now ready to publish.

Regards, Ali — Preceding unsigned comment added by AliRiches (talkcontribs) 07:18, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @AliRiches: No, it would not make a difference as a stand-alone article has the same requirements regardless. Also, looking at Girls' Night In, which was created back in 2007, it does not meet the notability guidelines we have today, with the current sources at least. Also, sources do not need to be online but you should check Internet Archive. I just did a quick search for text using "Jessica Adams" astrologer and did get hits (lots of Cosmo, of course). You could also do the same for her most notable books. For those you want reviews and notable best seller lists. (Tip: to link to a Wikipedia page/article you enclose it in double brackets like [[Girls' Night In]] or [[Draft:Jessica Adams (astrologer)]]). Good luck! S0091 (talk) 14:49, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Publication rejected

Hi, you rejected https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ettore_Salati, commenting that "None of these sources are reliable sources (orums, blogs, etc.) so should not be used. Need sources from reputable publications." These sources are reviews of releases, published on official websites of music magazines specialized in progressive rock music, as you can see landing to their main page. They are among the most reputable publications of the progressive rock world. A couple of them were effettively hosted by blogspot.com, I deleted these links even though they are not personal blogs, anyway ; however, there were no forums at all. I point out that in these reviews the subject is not only mentioned, but also reviewed; anyway, I replaced a couple of them. I am submitting again, please take a look. Thanks__Alien 4791 Alien 4791 (talk) 14:06, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

I asked a question on WP:WPAFC/HD over two weeks ago, however, I did not get any reply. Since you reviewed my submission, I decided to ask you here.

According to WP:NGEO, places “with no information available except name and location” should not have a separate article. I am unable to find any more specific information about the island, let alone any source that explicity states it is a rock near Pearson Island. Is this the reason why you declined my draft? Would it be better if I put the information on the Pearson Island article instead? If that’s the case, please delete it.

According to WP:NOR, “articles must not contain original research.” Does this mean I am not allowed to write the following although my measurements in Google Earth say so?

“The permanently dry rock has an area of about 2.1 acres (0.85 hectares) and lies approximately 300 metres (980 feet) west of southern Pearson Island.”

Also, are GeoNames.Org and GeoYP.com reliable enough to support the information?

Latisc (talk) 15:21, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Latisc: GeoNames.org or Google Earth are not a reliable sources because they are user generated. I am not sure about the reliability of GeoYP.com but it is a statistical database so cannot be used for notability. If there is no other information about Les Enfans Perdus then it does not warrant its own article. There is mention of Les Enfans Perdus in the Pearson Isles#Nomenclature article. If you wish the draft to be deleted, you can just place {{Db-u1}} at the top of the page. S0091 (talk) 15:22, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
Hello @S0091:, thanks for your reply. So I can use GeoYP.com as source to show that the rock off Pearson Island is called Les Enfans Perdus? Latisc (talk) 16:00, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
@Latisc: Like I said, I am not sure about its reliability so I cannot say one way or the other. You might try posting at WP:RSN. S0091 (talk) 21:50, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Exadel

Hi there.

You've left some comments in terms of my article submission almost 2 months ago. I replied to them on the talk page of the draft article & in case you missed this reply somehow I've decided to leave the answer here as well:

Thanks for your edits! I would like to state that I am not affiliated with the subject and I am not compensated for this submission/edits. I have Belarusian roots and I am proud of my heritage, and besides, I have a background in IT. So I believe that spreading the word about prominent tech companies that are connected to Belarus helps create a better image for the country. You can check and see that previously I have worked on other submissions related to Belarus.

You also pointed out that some of my references are not reliable and unbiased but I made sure they are not affiliated with the subject and thus are independent. If I made a mistake, can you please tell me what it is so I can fix it for this draft and keep it in mind for any future submissions?

There is also an issue with the article's tone of voice. I tried very hard to make the draft sound neutral and made several rounds of edits for this. If it really sounds like an advertisement to you, I would be grateful if you could be more specific so that I could edit accordingly. I honestly cannot see the text being ad-like at this point. NastyaAlisina (talk) 07:43, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @NastyaAlisina: no one is going to see your comments unless it is an active talk page or you ping them (like I just did here with you). I note you state you want to "spread the word" about tech companies in Belarus, but please understand that is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. I suggest reading WP:NOT. In addition, please read WP:NCORP thoroughly. If you need further assistance, I suggest asking at the Teahouse. S0091 (talk) 22:01, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Seeking help on David McCormick BLP

Hi S0091. This is Lauren, and I posted an edit request on Talk: David McCormick soon after you answered my previous edit request, which I appreciate. I hope you can please jump over to my latest edit request, look it over, and implement it if you agree that the edits are simple factual corrections and additions which improve the accuracy of the article. I would be grateful. Thanks again, Lauren at L Strategies (talk) 15:03, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Lauren at L Strategies: please do not take this personally or anything to do with your particular requests but I tried my hand at handling COI requests and found it quite tedious and unpleasant. From what I gather, many Wikipedians feel the same on top of some having a great distaste for using their volunteer time to assist those who are paid. While that was not my particular issue, I must admit it didn't help. In general Wikipedia is currently suffering from several backlogs because there are simply not enough editors in general and certainly not enough with the experience or interest to do some tasks that need to be done. If there are ever WP:BLP violations, I suggest posting at WP:BLPN which will get more immediate attention. S0091 (talk) 22:25, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

@Mitchellfrieder: Wikipedia ain't easy. :) Really, it is a big learning curve and an issue. As much as you can, use WP:VISUALEDITOR (when you are edit mode there is a pencil top right, change to Visual Editing). It cannot do everything that Source editing can but helps because you do not need to know all the syntax. Its what I use to add sources (see Cite icon in middle when in edit mode, click that, use Automatic then paste in URL, then generate, then add). Also, preview before you publish.

Re: Bokksu

Hi, S0091. The CNN Underscored reference you referred to was merely citing a statement of fact (that Bokksu Grocery debuted), not anything promotional about Bokksu. That reference can be swapped out. Were there any other parts of the draft or citations that you objected to specifically? The rest of the cited articles most certainly qualify as significant coverage in reliable sources in my view to meet GNG. Thanks. -- Wikipedical (talk) 21:15, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Wikipedical: my main issue with the sources is they largely rely on what Taing states so not independent. I pointed out that CNN article only because CNN is generally a reliable source but noticed the disclaimer. Also, since this is a company the notability guideline is WP:NCORP which is a bit stricter as far the type of sources that are acceptable so that was my lens with the review. However, if you believe the article would survive a deletion discussion, I have no issue with you moving it main space. Thanks for message and questions. S0091 (talk) 21:49, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @RadioGuyNYC:, apologies for missing your earlier message. The NY Post is considered generally unreliable so should not be used (see WP:NYPOST) and the Mirror is not much better (weak source). Most of the sources are about one event, the boxing match with Malignaggi, which essentially count as one source. The other sources are brief mentions, or his videos or interviews/his statements which are not independent so cannot be used to establish notability. S0091 (talk) 18:04, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi S0091, I noticed your revert of Family Tree DNA undid many valid minor edits, especially to references. Could you please individually restore those changes or else revert and remove only the potentially COI content about the acquisition? Thanks. Fences&Windows 08:56, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Fences and windows: I agree that was hasty of me and have reverted it back. Thanks for the note! S0091 (talk) 15:58, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
Ta! You can edit again to deal with any COI issues if you wish, or you might note the problems on the talk page. Fences&Windows 10:39, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Question Related to Google Santa Tracker

Hello. I've recently seen that my edits to Google Santa Tracker have been removed. May I know what wrong did I write there? I added more citations, and those citations were top notch and verified. Moreover, some of that lines Wikipedia wrote were outdated. Some lines including "simulates" and other were incorrect. So according to me, my editing was correct.

Hello! Thank you for taking time to review my draft article on the Well Done Foundation. I am rather new to wiki and would like to get this article published the proper way so I have some questions to ask you so that next time I submit it, there should be no problems. I feel I have a grasp on what I should do differently so it doesn't sound like an "advertisement" or something of that nature, on another note I am assuming if I can't attribute information to an independent source, aside from the organization's website, it should be deleted? If so, once all information not directly linked to an independent source is deleted, I should be good to go as far as sourcing is concerned? Msamwiselong28 (talk) 01:30, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

@Msamwiselong28: you can use their website for very basic information such as headquarters, founder, etc. but other than that it should not be used. As far as the other type of sources needed, read WP:NCORP. As long as you have at least three independent reliable sources (not based on what the organization says about itself, has no affiliation with them, has editorial oversight and a history of fact checking) that has written about them in-depth, that is usually sufficient.

Megan Carpenter biography

Hi, thanks for your comment. I think we addressed your concerns on the [Carpenter] first female dean of UNH Law article but now am a little lost as to the status - can you kindly provide some advice, is it still under further review and we should be patient? Or is there something to fix/refine? Thank you! --Rudolp2d5 (talk) 05:31, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Gary Ashworth Revision

Hi. Thank you for reviewing my submission of the page Gary Ashworth. I've now made the changes that you requested, and would really appreciate it if you could take another look. This includes adding in numerous additional references that "show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject.", including from The Express, The Independent, The Telegraph and The Financial Times. I've also altered the language of the article to be more formal and to avoid the use of peacock terms. Many thanks, Ryan RyanJEdwards1 (talk) 12:02, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello, thank you so much for reviewing my draft at lightening speed that I created for Talemwa. I truly appreciate. So, I have made draft changes and removed most sites which resemble blogs plus the Multichoice Talent Factory website. However, I am a little confused, most of the Ugandan online sites that are referenced in the draft are genuine except from a few that I've removed. Now what's confusing me is how I can tell that they are not genuine as well so that when I submit the draft it doesn't end up getting deleted. I also removed much of the unsourced material as well. Secondly, I received a conflict of interest message from you and it confused me even further. I am not directly related nor connected to the party I am writing about nor have I been paid by anyone to do so. I am doing it out of my own free will for my editing wiki journey basing in Uganda. Adding notable people in the Ugandan Film Industry who may not have information about them on wikipedia yet they have notable work here. Please advise. Thank you very much. Openinghook (talk) 23:25, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

@Openinghook: you took the photo of Talemwa which indicates you have some kind of relationship with him, thus the conflict of interest notice. If you did not take the photo, then you will need to amend what you stated at Commons when you uploaded it which also suggests you are not the copyright holder so it is a copyright violation and the photo needs to be deleted. As far as sources, please read reliable sources. Generally, a source should have editorial oversight and a history of fact checking. You may find WP:RSP helpful as guide. While that is certainly not an exhaustive list, it will give you an idea as to why certain sources are deemed unreliable which can to applied to other sources. Its generally best to stick with mainstream reputable news organisations or publishers who have an established history. One quick determination is if there is no by-line with a named author, then that is suspect unless it is by the general staff of a reputable news agency such as the Associated Press.

Dear S0091,

Excuse me, I do not know what other sources in Wikipedia have information on Paco Reese. I don't know any solutions can you help me?.

Sincerely, Paco Reese — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paco Reese (talkcontribs) 00:16, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

@Paco Reese: the only solution is for you to find sources. If no sources exists, then the material cannot be added to Wikipedia. S0091 (talk) 00:23, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Jessica (DJ article

HI S0091 I have an article declined by an S0091. I am in the process of writing articles on the 2000 most famous DJs in the world. This is typically major artists with substantial performance and millions of streams on Spotify/Apple Music, for them to be ranked that high. I just finalized the second article, and it was declined with biased arguments. Such as "Spotify is not a reliable source" - There is no more reliable source in the world to retrieve existing streams of artists, and overview of their releases. Apple Music does not publish stream amounts. "Discogs is not a reliable and independent source". Discogs is the go-to site for anyone in the music industry regarding releases, and is basically the Wikipedia of music releases, or the equivalent to IMDB for movies. It has several accepted references on Wikipedia. "YouTube is not a reliable source". How is this even an argument, when it references an interview with the artist from MTV music awards, where the statements are made". "Article seems promotional". I have no connection or personal connection with artist, and found her name on the list from The Official Global DJ Rankings, from where I plan to take all the other 2000 major DJs that I will publish articles on. There is no promotional wording used, only statements of facts. It is concerning this draft article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jessica_(DJ) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Estonians (talkcontribs) 00:38, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Ziv Aviram's article

Hi @S0091: and thanks for taking the time to have a look at this draft page. Following your comment, I have added more links with in-depth coverage about him (in BBC, Jerusalem Post, Maariv and more). Perhaps you can have a look and see if this passes? --Adig-pt (talk) 19:10, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Draft: Gleneagles Hospital Medini Johor

Hi there, sorry I do not really understand. In short, do you mean that my article is not referenced enough to show its notability? Which means you mean the references here is not relevant enough?

I have checked out the link you mentioned, but still not really sure what's wrong with my article. Please advise. Wcsneel (talk) 12:11, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 22

Thank you for reviewing this article so quickly. I kind of understand what you are saying as although there are many reliable references, most of them give a fairly brief mention of the CPC. Do you think this Al Jazeera ref would help [4]?

@Osy2nb:, what is your affiliation to AmirahBreen? It is clear you are affiliated. (Don't forget to sign you posts). S0091 (talk) 23:34, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
I am working on the Somali project and AmirahBreen was also a member of the same project. I am aware they created this article before and then it got put back to draft along with some of their other Somali articles. I am trying to clear outstanding articles in the Somali project because elections are coming up in Somalia and it would help to have everything up to date. That is the only reason I am checking over these drafts. I do not have any affiliation to AmirahBreen, I do not know who they are.Osy2nb (talk) 23:43, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
No offence, @Osy2nb: you just joined Wikipedia today so your explanation seems unlikely, especially given these drafts are not listed on the project page or the talk page. S0091 (talk) 23:54, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
I have edited Wikipedia before, but that was a long time ago. I don't have access to my old account. You are right that drafts are not listed on the project page, but they can be easily accessed from the project page by clicking in the assessment box under 'other'. Osy2nb (talk) 23:58, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply @Osy2nb:, I had already filed an SPI investigation before you contacted me but I did not request a CheckUser, so I will do so now and link to this conversation as that is the most fair thing to do. You are welcome to comment there in the "Comments by other users" section. S0091 (talk) 00:06, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
